My disk version requires Steam - which I'm not brilliantly happy about - but I wanted a disk version so there ya go !!

Hello Venus and Everyone!

I agree, the game won't run in High setting with your current video card.

We are working on a patch to allow more flexibility with average comp configurations, I'll let you know.

Thanks

Online activation is DRM. So is Steam.

The patch Wael spoke of is already here:

There is a beta branch on Steam
(I know very few of you are huge fans of the platform).

This beta branch should allow you to play the game, however, we don’t guarantee performances or absence of crashes as the wide range of hardware covered in this patch cannot allow a perfect optimization for low end or hybrid video adapters.

We will monitor in the next days tech support and steam support to finalize the patch and launch it on the main branch of the game.

To play the beta version please follow the instruction

1. Select Crimes and Punishments in your game library on Steam
2. Select properties
3. Select the Beta tab
4. In the “select the beta you opt into” choose Public_Beta

The configurations covered for this patch are below, players with other configurations having no problem launching the game don’t need to opt into the beta branch.

• Intel Graphics Adapters (all)
o The game now may be launched on any Intel integrated adapter (HD and higher were tested)
o Any Intel integrated adapter (if it's the only one in the system) will force the game to run in DX9 mode and auto detect Low graphics settings

• NVIDIA Optimus
o The game now may be launched on NVIDIA Optimus systems
o The game will correctly auto detect graphics settings and DX version depending on the model of high performance graphics adapter installed in the system

• AMD Switchable Graphics
o The game now may be launched on AMD Switchable Graphics systems

• Windows XP
o The game now may be launched on Windows XP

I agree, both online activation and Steam are DRM. I think I will wait to purchase it at a discount later, and I'll just do it through Steam as it's going to insist on connecting anyway. Maybe by then, I'll have upgrading my graphics card once more. smile Thanks for the patch, though. If I still haven't upgraded my card by the time I do buy the game, I'll go ahead and try it out. smile

Just wanted to say how much I like the look of this latest Frogwares "Sherlock" character. It is the most like my own personal visualisation of him that I have ever seen in a game thumbsup

I have the disk version for a PC and you must use Steam in order to activate the game but can be played off line.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I just wanted to give an update on my situation. Since I got a belated Amazon gift card for Christmas, I decided to go ahead and purchase Crimes and Punishments along with some other things, just to see if it would work. So far, everything runs smoothly for me, even at the highest settings. So I guess my current video card is enough for it after all. Very happy I can play this game now! happydance
