  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 128 MB graphics card (As of 104.0 OpenGL 3.0 is required meaning older integrated GPUs such as Intel G45 are not supported)
  • Roughly 500 MB of hard drive space, depending on how many maps and games you download.

Recommended

  • 3 GHz dual core CPU or better
  • 2 GB of RAM or more
  • 512 MB graphics card or better
  • 5 GB of hard drive space to accommodate more maps and games

For more information on system requirements see Requirements or for help see FAQ.
