== Pre-requisites == === System Requirements === RogueTech has some minimum requirements that differ from base BattleTech - these are highlighted below. While the game can function below these specs, gameplay and stability issues will happen far more frequently. * OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or Higher * <span style="color: #ff9900;">'''''Processor: 4 Thread x 4.2GHz or better'''''</span> ** Any slower and AI has trouble finishing calculations for VTOLs and LAMs. This can cause AI to do nothing on their turn after sitting for the limit of 40 seconds. * <span style="color: #ff9900;">'''''Memory: 16 GB RAM + 24GB static [[Performance_Tips#Pagefile|pagefile]]'''''</span> ** Any less and the game will crash, often failing to complete even the first mission after load. RogueTech is 15x the size (and growing) of original HBS BattleTech, and we've already optimized what we can. ** The additional page file requirement is for stability due to a Unity Engine bug/problem (game will dump entire contents of RAM into pagefile for no reason). Without access to source code, we cannot correct/workaround. * Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 560 Ti or AMD® ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 (1 GB VRAM) * DirectX: Version 11 * Network: Broadband Internet connection (required for installation and updates) * <span style="color: #ff9900;">'''''Storage: 35GB Base BT Installation + 25GB (at least... it's constantly growing) Mod Installation. Additional 25GB (at least... it's constantly growing) for launcher cache workspace required on any other storage.'''''</span> ** Our launcher requires to maintain this workspace to deliver smaller updates to you. Removing this cache will mean you will have to download an entire new copy of the mod every time we update. * Sound Card: DirectX 9 sound device === General Requirements === * Make sure you have all the latest Windows updates * The Battletech game must be installed and run at least once before you attempt to install RT. RT is a mod, and is therefore dependent on BT to run. * Disable cloud saves for the Battletech game in Steam * Download the latest RogueTech Launcher which you can get from [https://discourse.modsinexile.com/t/rogue-tech/134 ModsInExile] *# The Default download will download ONLY the launcher. It will grab the install cache during installation - THIS CAN TAKE A WHILE AND LOOK LIKE HANGING. BE PATIENT. *# The PreCache option is updated infrequently and contains *most* of the install cache. ** <span style="color: #ff0000;">If you are experiencing spotty internet connectivity, select PreCache option.</span> ** <span style="color: #ff0000;">You DO NOT need to download CAB separately, except when instructed to do so by the dev/support team in a ticket.</span> ** <span style="color: #ff9900;">WARNING: THIS MOD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY, ENEMIES ARE DEADLIER AND THAT'S INTENTIONAL! </span> * Make sure you have the right version of the Battletech game. The officially supported game version by RogueTech mod is 1.9.1 === Firewall, Anti-Virus, and other protection settings === * The launcher requires access to github.com in order to download updates. Ensure github is not blocked on your firewall and other network software, including ISP-provided. ** An example of ISP-provided firewalling: Virgin Websafe * The launcher may trigger anti-virus protections. We always send our versions to MS for approval, but it may take time for Defender to pick up and even longer to spread out to other anti-virus software. * The vast quantities of files being shuffled and copied often cause anti-virus/malware to break. Additionally, the installer requires that we run an injector to modify files required for BT modding (modtek's injector). We STRONGLY recommend adding both the game directory, launcher directory, and cache directory (including subfolders) into folder exceptions. === How to get the needed version of the Battletech game === <span style="color: #ff9900;">One more time: the officially supported game version is 1.9.1</span> {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |- ! {Beta Opt in options only} - Not In Use |- | ====Steam==== To pin your Steam install to a specific version, right-click the game in Steam, open Properties, select the BETAS tab, and select the correct version from the dropdown. ====GoG==== https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/212806945-How-do-I-revert-rollback-to-an-older-game-version-?product=gog ====''GOG Galaxy users''==== * ''Proceed to the game card for your game in the GOG Galaxy client.'' * ''Proceed to the game's settings via the "More" option, and select "Settings"'' * ''Select "ON" from the drop down menu in the "Beta Channels" option on the right hand side.'' * ''A "Channel" option should now be visible. And in the Dropdown should be the option for "Beta".'' * ''After selecting this option, GOG Galaxy should automatically start your download of the beta branch.'' * ''To switch back, simply repeat the steps above, but choose "default" in the Channel Drop down options.'' |}
