Service Pack 3 is only for XP. Win7 is only at SP1 and Win8 doesn't yet have an SP. You should be good to go Allfather, though I haven't test Win8 at all so I don't know if there are any problems with it. I do know that Win8 is essentially Win7 with a new interface and some significant changes to how you do things, but at the lowest level it's basically unchanged so I wouldn't expect any problems from it.

I ran the test for 3DMark 11 on my hardware and computer failed :(.  Does this mean I can't run Survival on my computer?  Here are my specs:

Graphics card:Intel GMA X4500MHD
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T4400
Memory: 4096 MB

Please advise.
I also attached the cache file from the client.exe error.

your graphics card is probably is not up to the task... :( maybe in a low resolution with minimum settings.

Plummer, I'd personally suggest you do research and find out what upgrades you can give your PC if your not ready to buy a new one..  simple ones such as RAM upgrade, Graphics Card Upgrade, Processor Upgrade, Latest Drivers for your PC/Updates.

But going by your specs your RAM seems fine, I'd say Graphics Card could do with an upgrade, & Processor... The graphics card you have doesn't even play crysis, so I'd suggest you look for a graphics card that can play high graphics that is recommended for use such as with Cry-engine. It's OK for low end games, but as far as i can see AW is just going to get stronger on graphics.

There has been known issues that AWS doesn't play on some notebook/laptops.

When the pros like sff gives feedback about pc specs, just ignore them ;)
Wait for devs to give you what is minimum parameters for their game.
From my poin: cpu looks ok, ram also not sure about video.

So you agree with SFF? Hey, me too!

The T4400 tells me that you're trying to play on a laptop, which limits your upgrade options significantly. These are the recommended stats given in the closed testing section (which I hope is okay to post):
Quote
Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista / Windows 7
Modern multi-core processor with at least 2.0GHz and 3GB of RAM (4GB for 64-bit OS)
DirectX 9.0c compatible gaming-class video adapter with 1GB Video memory
Latest drivers and DirectX

The T4400 and RAM are up to the task and even though the GMA 4500MHD is rated for DirectX 10 (see this page for more info) it is a low-end card that isn't very capable. If you cannot play AWS with the options cranked down low then your only options are to wait until the game is optimized for hardware at that level or get your hands on a newer computer. Neither of my two older laptops is capable of running AWS at all (let alone playable) so I have to run it on my tower instead.

pointless saying ignore them... i've been online gaming for a long time, so has my husband.. Not to mention the qualifications i have in computers/I.T, let's just stop this petty tit for tat stuff now... You came on told the person to ignore me, then gave the exact same advice which was an attempt to undermine me and contradict what i said.... the forums aren't the place for this pettiness neither is the game.

Well said Brickwit (P.S Brickwit is more qualified then me :) so if anyone should be listened too its him)

Good Luck.

Plummer,
             primarily yoour card is the equivalent of a very low end Nvidia or Radeon LE or GS , and similar level to a 5200 or an X300.
Your card is your weak link, CPU and RAM and OS are fine.
Unless you got lucky with some heavy tweaking you are out of luck.
Seeing as its a laptop upgrading isnt going to happen with integrated graphics.
For Survival it seems you will need a different PC unfortunately.

Good luck.

Thanks Gooch.  I think I have a radeon 5800 or something like that as well which should get me in.  Not really relevant right now as I'm not playing game due to RL stuff.  Was going to do 1k deposit for bonus and gifts just as an investment, but decided not to do it since I can't log into game as it is.  Not going to bother messing with graphics card on a laptop that is 3 years old to allow me to play a game that I'm not playing anyways right now..  Will probably get a new one before too long.  Good to hear from you.
