Need to pick your brains, please. My son and I were looking at a new Early Access game that came out this week called "Enshrouded". Apparently it's akin to Valheim, Minecraft, etc etc and is supposed to be the next 'survival builder'. As I am a huge fan of Valheim (Been playing since '21s early release) I thought I would give it a chance.

Ok, here's the question. My DS machine is 10 years old. When I log on to "Can I run it?" I get this:


My CPU is not strong enough. Should I happen to purchase the game anyway what sort of errors / faults am I looking at if my CPU isn't up to speed with their minimums?+

As always, thank you in advance for any help or pertinent information. Cheers.

Hi Snaike! Is that red bar on the side supposed to be a warning sign?

Here's what i found:

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6400-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4570/3512vs2770


You can see these CPUs are neck and neck according to benchmarks run on them. It is possible the older one lacks an upgrade specific to gaming performance that isn't factored into this analysis, but I doubt it. I think it's more likely the analyzer you're using just doesn't go that far back in their database. I certainly think you should get the game and see what you have. On the surface, you should be able to run it just as well as the newer proc.

All the best!
