Specifications Concern

[Kallocain]

Ok, i have found out that i am using a NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS
hmm, is this ok with Vicky2

You could download the HoI3 demo and check what kind of speed you get there. Vicky 2 will probably be a little faster than that demo though, since HoI3 have been optimized a lot since we made the demo.

If we make a demo for Vicky 2, that will be a better way of knowing ofc.

But it's fair to say the specs requirements will be roughly analogous, yeah?

Yes, they are built on a similar engine so will have fairly similar specifications. As mentioned above the core HoI3 has under gone some optimisations for the 1.04 patch and those that relate to overlapping code, like the map, have been imported in Victoria 2.

"Worst Optimized" isn't a term you can just throw around. Unless you've seen the source code and know everything about the work it's doing, it's simply not a judgement that can be made. An application can be perfectly optimized, running at the theoretical maximum possible speed, and still bog down a computer. Slow != poor optimization.

Considering the Optimisations we managed to the 1.04 patch (currently in public beta) there is probably a case to be made that HoI3 could of done with more optimisation at release. Worst optimised it may not be, but we could of done better on that department.
