General instructions and information
|
Preparing the installation:
First-time users need to read the Getting started pages as additional dependencies are required for openBVE to run. Once these dependencies have been downloaded and installed correctly, newer versions only need to be extracted into the existing openBVE folder without requiring additional steps.
System requirements:
| Operating system | Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Linux, or Mac OS X |
|---|
| CPU and RAM | The higher, the better. Some routes can currently consume a lot of memory, and might not work below 1 GB of RAM. |
|---|
| Video card | Hardware-accelerated OpenGL is a must for fluid gameplay. |
|---|
| Display resolution | At least 800x600 at 96dpi in order to display the main menu correctly. The actual simulation runs at any resolution. |
|---|
| File system | Unicode-based (e.g. NTFS). Otherwise, some add-ons (e.g. routes) cannot be installed correctly. |
|---|
| Dependencies | .NET 2.0, OpenAL, Tao. Please follow the steps explained on the Getting started pages for how to get them. |
|---|
Troubleshooting:
If you encounter technical issues with the installation even though having followed the instructions on the Getting started pages, try visiting the Troubleshooting section. If this does not help, ask on the forum for assistance.
See the changelog for what has changed since the last release.
