07/10/2014 - Stronghold Crusader 2 Enters Closed BetaStronghold Crusader 2 Enters Closed Beta, System Requirements Revealed
“When we first announced
Stronghold Crusader 2 one of the first pieces of information released was that the game will use a newly enhanced 3D engine.
By this point the team was so experienced with the Havok Vision Engine that learning something completely new and moving away
from 3D would be a waste of that knowledge. Our stated goal with Crusader 2 was to create the best 3D Stronghold game yet
and that’s exactly what we intent to deliver.
Everyone here at Firefly wants the playability of the 2D Stronghold
titles within a 3D space and our enhanced version of the Vision Engine has thankfully provided us with the tools needed to
achieve this. Naturally a concern for players at the time was ‘Will the game run on my machine?’. This is a fair
question and of course we are aiming to get the game running on a wide range of systems, performance being just as high on
our list of priorities as bug fixing. With the game currently in beta and as such feature-complete, we have already had time
to focus on optimisation and performance testing. As a result, we have been able to determine the minimum system requirements
for Stronghold Crusader 2:”
The minimum PC system requirements for Stronghold Crusader 2 are as follows:
- Operating System: Windows® XP/Windows Vista/Windows
7/Windows 8 (latest service packs) with DirectX 9.0c
- Processor:
Intel Core2 Duo 2Ghz or equivalent
- Memory: 2GB RAM
- Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800GT 512MB or AMD Radeon™ HD 2900XT 512MB
or better
- Storage: 6 GB available HD space
- Internet: Broadband Internet connection
The latest entry in Firefly's best selling series of medieval real-time strategy games, Stronghold Crusader 2 is
set to appear online and in store shelves on September 2nd 2014.
About Stronghold Crusader 2

of the Middle East circa 1189, Crusader 2 features a new 3D engine, authentic castle simulation and real time destruction
powered by Havok Physics. Play as Richard the Lionheart or the Sultan of Syria in 2 single-player campaigns, skirmish mode
or online with up to 8 players. For more information please visit the website at www.strongholdcrusader2.com or follow @shcrusader2 on Twitter.
