I went ahead and pre-ordered the deluxe edition (yay!), and hopefully this weekend I can talk to my uncle and he can help me figure all this out. He's good with computers and is knowledgeable about PC gaming, so I think he could help me install the memory and help me figure out exactly what to get. Thank you to all who have helped me, I really appreciate it!
Not enough RAM
- Thread starter Dinosaur
- Start date
Then just get some RAM and get the PC version.
I have enough ram but my graphics card is not enough. I have to settle on PS4.
I think nobody can say, right now. We know the game looks gorgeous on max details, but we have no idea which graphical elements will be affected the most by lowering the settings and at which point the game will stop "looking good".
Guess you will have to wait until somebody tries it after release and then decide.
Yeah I kind of figured that. Might get xbox version to be safe then if its ok might buy the pc one. Not sure which version I want but my main thing is I want the graphics to look decent without setting settings real low or having some lag after a big park is built. I heard that was an issue with planet coaster. Same company but there's probably more motion and things going on to tax a system with that game.

If you own a 32 bit PC then 4GB RAM is the maximum you can fit. Best check first before wasting a trip.

crucial.com sells memory, and has an advisor tool which will tell you what you need as well. As far as I know Micron memory (the brand Crucial sells) is pretty robust.

This is a good point - can you do start, then the cog, then system then about. There it will tell you if you're running 32 or 64 bit windows
Dinosaur (lol) where do you live?
Here in the UK, you can pickup a single stick of 8Gb RAM, used, for almost nothing.
In my local CEX store (it buys and sells used goods) there's a single stick of ddr3 for £28, with a 2 year warranty*.
I need to upgrade from 8gb to 16 soon, so I'm looking at cheap ways to do so.

You don't seem knowledgeable in computer stuff so it's probably best you see out help, yes talk to your uncle. I suck at explaining things and it would just be easier if I did it for you but I can't.
Good luck though and start saving up for a good gaming rig.
Well, I talked to my uncle and he was VERY helpful. He was telling me all about what can affect the game's performance, and what would be helpful to upgrade. He said he might even pull apart his gaming computer he doesn't use anymore and see if the RAM in his PC is compatible with my PC. He said he can come help me install the RAM when I get it and show me how to do it myself in the future. So I'm happy!

I live in the United States. I currently have $50 saved up, but haven't been able to find anything under $90.
Have you made sure that your video card and other aspects of your computer run the game. Having ram is Good, but unless if you dont have a good cpu.
