Single core cpu's aren't supported. Your office comp will play this game better than your "gaming rig".

There are a lot of games that says single cpu aren't supported but runs fine with them. Even ones that runs on U3 engine, like Bulletstorm. Why not RO2?

Because we make use of alot of CPU power for many of the complex things we recreate in the game world.

Well, maybe you should put a big warning at the Steam store page (and in other places where the game is being sold) telling the users about that. That the game won't even run without a dual core cpu.

And put an error message in the game when we try to run it.

There is a warning, it is called the minimum specs listed on both the steam store page and the box of the game that say it requires a dual core CPU and recommends a quad core.

You'll find more and more titles will have this going forward from this point.

I don't think that's enough. Like i said, a lot of games that allegedly requires dual core cpus in minimum specs runs, and runs well on single core rigs. I mean a REAL warning, like this one about directx on Just Cause 2:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/8190/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1

"Notice: Just Cause 2 only supports Windows Vista or Windows 7 and requires a video card that supports DirectX 10 or higher. Windows XP and DirectX 9 are not supported. Does not require a Games For Windows Live account."

In this case:
"Notice: Red Orchestra 2 only supports dual core cpus. Single core cpus are not supported. Bla bla bla."

That should do.

That's some serious bull**** considering there is no real warning so me, along with all the other people with Single Cores just got ****ed out of $40 after waiting this long for a Beta
