Slow, or it will crash because it has too little RAM. Vista itself takes around 1GB of RAM, so you need 1.5GB to get Vista to run correctly with some programs running, and 2GB to support FPS Creator X10 correctly. It may work, or may not. But I suggest you to never go below the program's or game's recommended specs.

I'll give it a shot...

Okay, there's X10 the FPS IDE/Engine. And there's DirectX 10 the technology. Since you said you were on the website to get requirements, I'm going to assume you know what X10 from TGC is about. For the technology, I'll let you hit Wikipedia on that. Use "directx" as a search argument.

I only have 1 gig ram and vista premium runs fine with anything, compared to a computer that has around 3-4 gig. No blatand difference, apart from around 10 secs shaved off startup time.

Don't forget you need a Nvidia Geforce 8400 or up, (highly recommended you get the 8800)

What are your processors, Hard drive size and power supply?

Remember, you need to have a powerful computer in all aspects to run X10....

you can sell it, but after you made 5000 GBP, you need to pay TGC 2000 of it, but its unlikely anyone will make a game with FPS Creator that sells that good.

As X10 matures I believe it highly likely that we will see successful games that will sell "well."

*cough*Advert*cough*

Oh sure, I agree, it is totaly capable, it only has loads of bugs, and graphics that can be done with DirectX9 too. So yeah, possible

[/sarcasm]

Now on a more serious note, at this stage, no way in hell. Maybe when they fix it up, polish it and add ATI support, and offcourse some other proper FPS features. but before that, No way.

I see posts about bugs, but I haven't experienced very many myself. And when I look in the Temporary/Bug thread, there seem to be very few reported since the 1.08 patch. So either the bugs are here to stay because they're not being reported, or people are finding ways around them, or there are a lot of user issues. Either way, I'm not seeing anything preventing someone from putting out a quality game.

As for ATI support, I've seen several posts with people running on ATI just fine. Is it a TGC issue or an ATI driver issue? Back when I was shopping for cards, ATI didn't make the top 10 for directx 10 compliance. Things may have changed since then. Mind you, I don't blindly support TGC when it comes to X10. I think they really screwed me by not sharing that they'd take 8 months off to give features to X9 that X10 doesn't have.

That all being said, my personal philosophy is that the more successful people are the ones who deal with and overcome obstacles and never make excuses as to why they can't succeed. There are a lot of people here who want to be game developers. But they don't want to put the time and effort in. I think they read a lot into TGC's statement about making a game without programming. That doesn't guarantee a "good" game. Most people I've run into here aren't trying to make something that will sell and generate a lot of money, thus, you won't see much by that measurement. It doesn't mean it can't be done. Oops, I guess we're a bit off topic. LOL

I never really tested 1.08, because I have no reason to even use FPS Creator anymore, I just linger around these forums with the knowledge I have

The drivers are indeed the problem, but many other games work with the drivers that fail with FPS Creator X10. And that they went to X9 for a while, thats not bad... The majority of the market is still on XP, although more and more are coming to Vista, not everyone has a Direct X10 computer by now yet.

True, however I still see people here thinking they can make the next Half Life(I'm not going to compare it to Halo, I don't like that game) or something, But anyhow, if people put more effort in it(Like Buttered Fingers did in Umbra and such) then the games CAN be commercial quality. However it still is unlikely to find one.

So why are you saying X10 has "loads of bugs?"

Quote: "The majority of the market is still on XP"

Very true. TGC has always marketed X10 as the future. Anyone trying to develop something and get it out now does so at their own mediocrity.

Some of the best developer here do start with FPSC and then move on to the more conventional engines. It'll be up to TGC to develop a product to allow them to grow without moving on. If that's what they want to do. They may be in their target market now with beginners and teenagers and younger. The dead giveaway is when you see a post talking about things being too hard. LOL

I did not test it thoroughly, but If it crashes randomly when building a game, or testing it, loading media... that is buggy if you ask me.

I haven't had it crash on me once... It seems fairly stable (for FPSC).

Its pretty random I think, since at one person it does, at the other it doesn't... Oh well.

However you haven't tested it since the 1.08 patch was released. I think it may be legit to say "X10 used to be buggy", but I don't think it would be fair to say that now.

Have been using 1.08 on a home built box - seems very stable. Although I do have an issue with the frame rate of running a map test or compiled map - working on that issue.
