DMC3 has sooo many bugs on low-end PC.

It doesn't work on my PC either... weird I have a P4 3.00GHz machine too.

ViperXtreme · December 18th, 2006, 22:21

how about your video card? the game requires at least a shader capable card to run.

Even if you did manage to get the PC version playing there are quite a few problems with the unchangeable controls ans sometimes choppy framerate that won't allow you to play as if it is the original PS2 version.

The framerates are smooth but at times will suddenly drop for no reason whatsoever on my PC, certain buttons are unchangeable and there is no way to make certain controllers work.

Normally if you bought whole a computer instead of building it in which case I will assume you bought it it should be in your user manual.

If you need something a little more specific you can always run Belarc Advisor, that should give you more than enough information about your computer.

the bold one is your video card, the GeForce 2, the game doesnt support that unfortunately, its very old anyway.

thanks for all your help in the process. im gonna see if i can sell it to one of my friends. then i will buy a ps2 one. :x

btw is it possible to upgrade my Nvidia Geforce2 to a better one so i can play DMC3 then?

Player-X · December 21st, 2006, 03:18

That helps alot, your PC is slightly below touching the minimum requirements so you can't play it.

**Cid Highwind** · December 21st, 2006, 23:02

You could, but it'd be a waste of money seeing how you can get a PS2 for the same price. And even if you'd get a new videocard I really wonder if your CPU is fast enough. You'd be better off getting an entirely new pc.

JJXB · December 22nd, 2006, 01:03

they are

ps2 version just looks better for what it is (i mean, scanlines make any game look less pixelated)
