Hi folks,

Some of us have seen questions being asked about the updated minimum system requirements for Path of Fire and I wanted to take some time to clarify.

You can find the official Minimum System Requirements here. We did bump the specifications from the Core game and Heart of Thorns, but this does not mean that you are blocked from running Path of Fire.

If you would like to see how your system will perform with the new expansion, I highly encourage you to check out the free PvE preview weekend from August 11-13, 2017. This will give you a chance to see how your computer performs with our new expansion.

You may find that you can get adequate performance, which is fantastic! If your computer does not perform as well as you hope, please remember that you can log in when new Living World episodes are released and unlock them, even if you do not have the ability to play them until you upgrade your system and purchase Path of Fire.

If you have additional questions about this topic, please post in this thread and I will check back as opportunity allows.

Cheers,
Ylan

64bit only Operating systems? That’s an interesting(and welcome) move.

Though I feel that will stop more people from playing the game than stating a hilariously low minimum CPU requirement.

I played GW1 on an AMD Athlon II 635 X4 and it wasn’t terrific even then.

And that Processor is about twice as capable than the Athlon 64 x2.
