Revision as of 22:42, 2 July 2010
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
If you're looking for information on improving the performance of Dwarf Fortress on your computer, see Template:L.
OS
Requires
- Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, or newer
- Linux using Wine, native Linux version,
- Mac
Note: The 40d article has detailed info on Non-Windows OS' that is probably mostly still valid.
RAM
DF is not particularly RAM-hungry. With 512MB you may be a bit on the short side, but 1 GB is absolutely sufficient. World Generation can eat up far more than that, but Generation will only be slower if not more RAM is available. Otherwise the influence of RAM on game speed is limited, as DF is not loading and offloading big chunks of data much.
There are no detailed requirements per se. However, because simply saying the more RAM you have and the faster your CPU is the better is not all that helpful, here are some stats that users have experienced while playing this game on a variety of different environments. (Please note that ‘fast game-play’ and ‘slow game-play’ are subjective terms and not intended to relay anything specific or exact. What may be fast to one person might be slow to another). It's also essential that you mention the state of your fortress - how many dwarves there are, animals, terrain, speedups, and so forth.
