I have a very, very bad PC and I read that there will be better graphics and all.So I wanna know if 1.3 has the same system requirements as 1.2.
I even can`t play 1.2 very well.The maps are all black, except for the backround, I can`t see some models like in melee and auras.I only see power-up auras, no trans auras or dash aura, it really is bad.I don`t even play ESF so much, just because of the bad visualisation, so please tell me if i can play 1.3 at all.

Are you playing in Software mode? If so, switch to OpenGL, and if that doesn't improve things, try D3D (Direct3D) mode. You can find these settings in your Options -> Visuals menu.

Direct3D also causes problems. Best stable is OPENGL, and make sure you installed the latest video drivers. And i am very sure that you almost need the exact same thing for 1.3 as v1.2.3 due that its Half-Life, the ESF team can't increase of what you need by that much.

Well, that depends. With the addition of the new FX System, ESF has the potential to become very heavy on the eye-candy. Users will be able to manipulate and add models, sounds, animations and sprites to customize, for instance, each character's transformation. I understand that a user with a low-end computer will not likely pimp up his ESF with mad gfx, but still. I understand what you mean, though. But even putting aside the new FX System, ESF will get more standard eye-candy, if the 1.3 outline does not deceive me.

Well, true about that. But i said they can't tune up ESF extremely that you need a lot more of your machine then you already have.

the FX system is client side only. So if I was to make a special transformation effect, only I can see it. But if you were to look at me ingame, you would see the effect that you have on your computer.

If you can't use OPENGL, do you even HAVE a video card? (such as ATI, or a GeForce / Nvidia card).

I managed to get the game to run on a 4Mb S3 Virge on Direct 3D... It looked grainy but it played! (That was on an Athlon XP 3000+ 1gb of ddr) - Just after the geforce 4 MX blew...
