Rayman Origins

[Haruka]

Do you own Windows XP Professional SP3?

I FINALLY GOT RAYMAN ORIGINS FOR PC AND IT WORKS! Awensome! I thought my Win XP would be too weak. Not ANY issues so far (im in the end of the Desert) but if ill have any, then you can help me if you know the solution. BUT SO FAR SO GOOD!

XP has absolutely nothing to do with your performance, it's purely dependent on your hardware.

It's really, really funny how people are so worried about "WILL MY COMPUTER RUN ORIGINS?" I'm being honest here when I say an average computer from 2003 could run it without lag.

Through my research, one scene in Origins consists of anywhere from 5,000 to 13,000 polygons, as opposed to Rayman 3, where 50,000 to 60,000 were on the screen at once. That was a lot for its time, but modern games like Crysis and Battlefield consist of 500,000 to 2,000,000 polygons on-screen at once.

Kapish?

I've pre-ordered RO for PC as well via the ubisoft site. However, it seems that they gave me the wrong download link, since the one they gave me redirects me to the RRR installer instead of the RO one. Did you pre-order via the ubisoft site? If so, would you send me the link they gave you to download the game?

Anyone else pre-ordered from ubi and encountered a similar problem?

wat.

What's your RAM? Over NINETHOUSAND?! (gigs)

3-4 GB could easily hold 2,000,000 polygons, all the textures and shaders, and everything needed to run it (2 GB is a little on the low side, and may crash once in a while). The graphics card is the real concern though. Nonetheless, I'm rather up-to-date, so I would have no problem rendering 2 million polygons at 80 FPS with maximum graphics, but even the average modern computer priced at $600 could run 2 million polys at 15-20 FPS. Lets divide 2 million by 100, a we get 20,000, then divide that by two, and we get the average amount of polygons for Rayman Origins. Now also multiply (in accordance to the polygon count dividing) the framerate (15 to be safe) by 100x2, and we get a very rough estimated average of 500-1000 FPS. Now divide that by threeish, considering that most people here would have a computer from 2-6 years ago, and we get a very rough estimate of 100-330 FPS running Rayman Origins on an average computer from 2004-2005. Thus, most of you would get around (very, very, very roughly) 400 FPS average, though it could vary a lot.

That's by no means accurate, but you at least have some idea now of how easy this game is to run. I myself get around 6500-7000 FPS in Origins.

Look at the system specs for GW2:

Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3, AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 or better
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI Radeon™ X1800, Intel HD 3000 or better (256MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
25 GB available HDD space

and then watch this:



That's just a first impression. (sorry for bringing this game up. I had to pick a good example)

[TeensieKing]

That game's specs are pretty much average

[Spanex]

Yep, this game isn't out yet, but it's rigged to run on mid-range computers. These aren't the final specs though. Bet you can't find out how many poly's is in the model

Do you own Windows XP Professional SP3?

Yeah. Ive got XP with SP3. I actually got one little issue. Sometimes when i play, two thick black lines fill the up and down part of the screen. But that doesnt disturb me too much. But im very happy about that the game also supports my ol Logitech controller (the dark blue Dualshock ripoff).

By the way now i may not be so active in there because im playing RO now but ill write, when ive got time.

2,000,000?

I'd probably top it at 400,000 to 800,000 taking into account its appearance and the fact that it's an MMO.

^This, but really... I would tell you, if I knew.

Anyway, I played the Rayman Origins PC demo. I'm really enjoying it! On PC screen the beauty pops out even more than on my console. Truly something worth trying out. I might actually even buy it.

[Spanex]

Excuse the double post, but THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Before you guys buy the PC game, I must stress: I only just bought the full version after completing the demo, and after downloading the digital game from Ubishop, installing and booting it, my antivirus blocked it, telling me it's a virus.

My anti virus is AVG 2012 free edition. I could always trust this antivirus, so I don't know why it's giving me this. I've adressed the error to Ubi. But until then, I don't want to play my game in fear of letting a possible virus take my PC. So if you're considering to buy the digital game from the Ubishop, please be careful. That is all.

[Haruka]

I think it is a fake alarm. Sometimes this happens to me with other games, but they obviously do not consist a problem. How could a commercial game own a virus?

[Spanex]

I have no idea. This is the first time that happens to me, so I'm pretty scared to even touch the game right now. If I wanted to play, I'd have to remove my antivirus, as it won't allow me to tell it a file is "safe".

Edit: Actually, I just found out how to tell it something is safe...and I scanned the files again with MalwareBytes, which by the way says nothing is wrong. That's really strange...but at least we now know that some antivirus software may detect something. Safe for me to have a go? Hope so.

[Haruka]

If Rayman Origins damages your computer by any case, complain to Ubisoft.

[Spanex]

Of course.

I just came here to warn others who planned to buy the game. It does seem to be a false alarm after all. I'll see what the Ubi staff has to say as I've sent them a report on this.

AVG you silly!

[Louvis]

Almost every antivirus sometimes flips out with false alarms. For example, I couldn't call a day if Avast! didn't spam me with at least 4 alarms with so-called "decompression bomb" (which was just, if I'm right , an archive or a directory that just for some reason couldn't be scanned; the most annoying thing wasn't the alarm itself, but these GODDAMN voice messages)... one of older versions of this antivirus had some weird malfunction like that, I have no idea how about now. Now I use COMODO (which also likes to scare me with fake alarms sometimes). Aaand ESET online antivirus from time to time.

[Adsolution]

And I don't use any antivirus except for Windows Defender. Seriously, anything more would annoy the hell out of me.

[Haruka]

I use Kaspersky, but sometimes I turn it off when it creates conflicts with certain applications.
