Bioshock demo Question

I have the demo, will it destroy my computer? Or, is it ok to run?

I have run Halo, WoW, and other games on the PC all at once, I installed each BIG game, so all i have is Gunz and drift city. Will the demo mess it up? or no?

re: Bioshock demo Question

Please elaborate on what you mean by "destroy". I have never seen a game "destroy" a computer. If your computer meets the minimum specs for the game, it should run just fine. If it doesn't, it may not run all that smoothly but it won't hurt your computer.

re: Bioshock demo Question

I ran the game, but when it was running, the pointer arrow didnt show up. and, when i somehow started the demo, everything was black, with water dripping(think king kong for XBOX Trex drool dripping,horrible), and there were small flashes of light.

re: Bioshock demo Question

That sounds like a video card or driver issue. What are your computer's specs?

Have you tried running a test here?

This will give you an idea if your computer is up to the minimum specs.

If it meets the specs, then you might need to update your drivers.

re: Bioshock demo Question

it would help if you gave us your specs but no, it will not "destroy" your computer. If the specs are below the requirements it just won't run or run well enough for it to be playable

re: Bioshock demo Question

I'm not a computer pro, so if you can kindly tell me how to find out my system specs, then I will

re: Bioshock demo Question

easiest way is using the link Aeronut gave, it will show what you have and compare it to the requirments for the game, telling you how your PC rates for the game and where you may need to upgrade
