What's going on!?

 

Keep in mind that Gigantic is still being developed, so these minimum requirements will change as time goes on.

One very important point is that we will eventually release our builds on Windows 10 exclusively.

The good news is Windows 10 is available for free for qualifying Windows devices! More information about getting Windows 10 can be found here.

How to Determine If Your Operating System is 32-bit or 64-bit

To check whether you're running a 32-bit OS or a 64-bit OS:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and press the Pause|Break key (typically above the Page Up button on most keyboards). This will open the System window.

2. Look next to System type. If you see 64-bit Operating System listed here, your computer meets the 64-bit requirement to run Gigantic.

How to Determine If Your Video Card is DirectX 11.1 Compatible

Before checking compatibility, you should first make sure that DirectX 11 or 12 is installed on your system.

1. Press the Windows key and type "dxdiag" (without the quotes), then press Enter.

2. Look at the very last item in the list that appears (DirectX Version). If you see anything lower than DirectX 11 listed here, run Windows Update to get the latest version of DirectX that's compatible with your operating system.

If you have DirectX 11 or 12 and the latest driver for your video card installed, follow these instructions to check for DirectX 11 compatibility on your video card:

1. In DxDiag, click the Display tab at the top.

Windows 7: Look in the right pane for DDI Version. If 11 is not listed here, your video card is not DirectX 11.1 compatible.

Windows 8 and 10: Look in the right pane for Feature Levels. If 11 is not listed here, your video card is not DirectX 11.1 compatible.

[note]You can see what video card you have installed by looking next to Name in the left pane of the Display tab.[/note]

[note]If you have multiple video cards installed, you may see multiple Display tabs, followed by a tab called Render. Check each of these tabs. So long as one of the video cards meets the minimum requirements in the table above, you'll be good to go![/note]
