Minimum Minetest Hardware Requirements Thread
This thread is for posting the lowest hardware you've gotten Minetest to be playable at. Playable means that the game runs at 30 FPS. Here is what I've tested at:
1.6 GHz Processor
1 GB of RAM
With these specs it runs at about 40 FPS.
1.6 GHz Processor
1 GB of RAM
With these specs it runs at about 40 FPS.
It basically requires some 200-300M of free RAM and a graphics card that is not a complete piece of crap.
It requires Windows XP or newer or a fairly up-to-date GNU/Linux system. It has also been built on OpenBSD.
I have tested it on a computer on which it didn't run playably: A laptop with 256M of total RAM, 1GHz P3 and *very* crappy integrated graphics. FPS was something like 5, the colors were glitchy and it continuously swapped memory to disk.

1.73 ghz
1.24gb ram
Crappy Intel 915 Graphics Card(Stupid integrated graphics chips)
Yeah this laptop is an old Vaio from 2002 running XP. Couldn't run the actual Minecraft due to bad graphics card so I searched around and after about 3 laggy "minecraft-like" games I found this. Loving every second of it. I've never been more afraid of 2D sea monsters in my life!!!!!! Great job! I hope this will still work on my laptop as the updates roll in.

Well, I don't get 30fps, but certainly better performance than I do in Minecraft, AND with good detail and render settings (tiny on minecraft is fugly).
Advent 4211 netbook, no fancy gfx card, (unless you want to count the integrated gfx from the cpu) Intel Atom processor (no idea of speed :L) and about 1 gig of ram. Manage a steady 10fps, sometimes more

Hi there,
having problems with the latest build 0.4.1 for win xp, I wanted to ask, what might be wrong here. Minetest runs, I unchecked in 'settings' all 4 boxes, but frame rate goes hardly above 30 (window size 800x600), and very often down below 5 frames. So, not usable. I have:
WIN XP SP 3
Nvidia Gforce4 420 Go 32M with latest drivers
Open GL 1.5.3
Mobile AMD Sempron 2800+, 1,6 Ghz
1,2 GB RAM
Is my hardware just not good enough?
Thanks.
(I just tried Minecraft Classic, and get there around the 30 frames, with rather low grafic settings.)

Today I discovered I never got minetest to be playable at any of my computers. (But I'm getting a new one )
So yeah, I have a netbook and a desktop computer, both are atoms with crappy graphics cards and while the desktop has better cpu and more ram neither of them reaches the 30 fps in minetest.
But I'm fine if they are at more than 10 fps, I wouldn't be in this forum otherwise. I'm going to try minetest classic...

At first it was at 10 fps, but then it dropped at 5 fps and then got a black screen (all that in less than a minute).Jordach wrote:Thank you...cosarara97 wrote:Today I discovered I never got minetest to be playable at any of my computers. (But I'm getting a new one )

So for now the fastest version I found is 0.3.
I just tried 0.3.1 - and it is surely faster than 0.4.1 on my machine...cosarara97 wrote:At first it was at 10 fps, but then it dropped at 5 fps and then got a black screen (all that in less than a minute).Jordach wrote:Thank you...cosarara97 wrote:Today I discovered I never got minetest to be playable at any of my computers.

Edit: Does it actually deliver better performance, when one installs Open AL?

I got MT to run on a computer made of ten year old scrap parts with only about 500 mb total RAM. The FPS at it's highest was about 25. Lowest is around 2. Average is 5-8. It runs Windows XP.
Btw I'm running 0.3.1
I find 4 FPS playable, but that's just me. Lol

DEATH TO ALL GRIEFERS. Except reformed ones
I am always one of three names.
They are...
Death_To_Dunces, Death_To_Duncess, and DTD. I may come up with more if needed.

Use the --logfile NUL option. To use it on Windows:nomohakon wrote:OT: how to disable creating and writing to DEBUG.TXT ?
- create a "start.bat" file in your Minetest folder (the "root" folder, where you can see bin/, games/ and such), with this:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
cd bin
minetest.exe --logfile NUL
PAUSE
[EDIT] The '' option doesn't work on Windows, you have to use NUL (Windows equivalent of /dev/null) instead. Also changed the script so that you can run it from the root Minetest directory.
