Minimum system requirements for ATS?

#1 Post by Mikeinva » 30 Jan 2016 05:27

Been searching the net all over for official information about minimum system requirements for american truck simulator but so far nothing. Given the fact that the game engine is pretty much identical to ETS2 are the system requirements going to be the same? As it stands now my laptop just barely meets the minimum requirements for ETS2,sure I have to run the game with graphics set at the bare minimum and only average 15 to 20 FPS but at least I can play it. I'm hoping to be able to play ATS as well without having to shell out upwards of $400 dollars on a new PC just to be able to play one game.

I'm also hoping that a demo will be available on the release date of the game so that I'll at least be able to test wether or not my system can handle the game without first spending between $20 and $40 dollars on a game that may turn out to be impossible for me to even play on my current system.

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Dual core CPU 2.4 GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTS 450-class (Intel HD 4000)
Storage: 3 GB available space


RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 64-bit
Processor: Quad core CPU 3.0 GHz

Make sure your OS is 64bit coz ATS won't install on a 32bit OS. ;)

actually the other way of checking is to go to a site called "will it run" which looks at your system and tells you yes or no yeah I know I'm a lazy sod :lol:

My old computer is just at the minimum recommended configuration... E4500, 4 GB DDR2, 6670 1GB... and ATS is working very fine. All on 1680x1050. No glitches and bumps.

Of course, scaling at 100% but anisotropic at max.

Graphic details are all on high, max or ultra, except mirrors, they are on medium in all aspects.

So, don't worry. Just prepare 64-bit Windows. Mine is 7 Ultimate, SP1.

Requirements

I still don't know the requirements, is steam required? If so I'm out, or can we still get retail versions as in ETS2? (fingers crossed) :oops:

Steam is not a requirement, 64 bit is
I'm on a mission to ensure the city of Pittsburgh is accurately represented in ATS.

if you are able to run ETS2, then ATS will run as well.
its basically same engine. although there are larger cities in ATS, we still follow the same guidelines and rules for map optimization.
only real difference is that ATS require 64bit OS.
Nobody can tell you anything about it. Those who know about it aren't allowed to talk. And those who talk know nothing.

Fortunately I'm running windows 8 with 64 bit system capabilities. Does steam take up even more resources along with mods? I'm running the scandinavia DLC,which of course is a steam excusive and the TSM map along with the jazzycat trailer mods(standard,military and railroad packs) but after looking at the graphics cards requirements for ATS I still have my doubts since my particular system is a 2012 model but I can just keep my fingers crossed that I can run it.

Steam has been running on my system all day and is currently using just over 12mb or RAM. I think you'll be fine.

As Max said, the requirements are pretty much the same as ETS2 give or take the 64bit only part.

OS needs to be 64-bit for the game to run
