Yankee4Life Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Any computer. Remember, it is a twelve-year-old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb2525 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Would it work on a laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yes, but you would need to be running Windows XP or Windows 7 on it. MVP2005 doesn't run well for most people on Windows 8 or Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb2525 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thank you.....Im running windows 7. Are there any other requirements for it to run smoothly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 As long as you have a decent on-board graphics chip (and "decent" isn't saying much since this game came out 12 years ago), you should be OK. Also, not a requirement but more of a suggestion - Install patch #2 or later to fix a stuttering issue that occurred in the initial release of the game. I never installed anything past patch #2, however, all 5 patches are available in the Downloads section. Most of the patches after #2 are roster updates.

Homer Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It really depends on how old the machine is. When this game first came out, some of the laptops weren't quite powerful enough so there was some slight choppiness. It was minimal but was there. If you had a higher end pentium 4 chip with decent onboard graphics, you were good. If you want to run it strictly for MVP, do as Jim says. I'd really advise to get one with XP. If you're not set on getting a laptop, you can pretty much get any xp machine and add a cheap video card. You can get a really cheap machine like an old dell optiplex with something liked an E8400 in it for less than $50. Add a video card and it will run smooth as silk.

GfGentleman Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I am running Windows 7 64 on my desktop. I loaded the game, clicked on the icon to start the game, and got a response to sign in as administrator and try again. What's up with that?
