Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r7595	Windows 7	Intel Core i7-880	ATI Radeon HD 5450	Messed up text, but perfect speed & sound	Dawngaward0110
3.0-737	Mac OS X 10.8	Intel Core Duo @ 2.26 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 9400M	Hashless build. Game runs perfectly during the day, regardless of settings. If run with EFB as RAM (vs. Texture) the slow down at in-game nighttime (7pm) is resolved but the sound will become a bit choppy but certainly bearable. Text is perfect.	Tiki
3.5	Windows 7	Intel Core i7-2670QM	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M	Text is fine. Sound fails on some television channels. Enormous slowdown at night.	turtlbrdr
3.5-367	Windows 7	Intel Dual Core E5700 @ 3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT	Good. Everything is fine 30FPS indoor and outdoor (98-100% game speed). Sound is fine. The only problem in game at night from 7PM - 4AM, FPS only 5-15 (Game speed only 10-15%) Unplayable at night, but indoor is okay at night. Only outdoor area is unplayable at night. Text is fine and no problem.	octadaniel
4.0.1	Windows 8.1	AMD FX-6100	AMD Radeon HD 5450	Crashes mid intro.	nearlynon
4.0-1446	Windows 8.1	AMD FX-6100	AMD Radeon HD 5450	Sound is rarely choppy on the medium sound quality setting. Averaging 15FPS daytime. Set EFB as RAM. No text problems.	nearlynon
5.0-15993	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6770	Perfect. Direct3D 11, 3xIR, 1xAF, 1x MSAA, never deviating from 30FPS. I haven't finished the first year, though.	SpectraNocturne
