My system is kind of "old" as I "only" have a PIII 500, with 186M ram, and a 32M graphics card.

Now according to the official Nightfire requirements, this should be enough to run the game (not by much, but enough).

A short while ago I donwloaded the Nightfire demo (or was it beta ?) and tried to run it in the lowest resolution available; I also disabled all the fancy graphical effects in the option menu. According to the requirements, the game should have run OK in these conditions.

Simply put, it was unplayable: took forever to load, game kept freezing as soon as ennemies appeared on screen... Awful.

My question is: is the full version of the game more playable on a low end system ? Cause the game's minimal system requirements are still advertised as being a PII 450...

Demo's tend to have the same problem I've found - they've never run as great as the full game. However, I can't be sure for each persons PC, I just know that I have that problem with mine.

this game is a bit buggy. I have a P4 2.0 ghz, Geforce 3, and 768 SDRAM, and I still encounter gliches. Badly handled coding.
