Two Point Hospital - Theme Hospital Like

A laptop with i7 4600U. I guess it’s about 5 years old. Only has integrated graphics which is also below the minimum specs. It looks like my CPU is a little better than yours (but not that much), so maybe it will work on my laptop. Do you also have an old video card?

It has an GeForce GTX 760 in it.

My other computer is an Acer Aspire E1-572, i7-4500U 1.8GHz, 8GB RAM, and an Intel Graphics 4400.

I’ll install it on that and, when I get time to play it tomorrow, let you know if I think it’s playable or not. You should be able to gauge from that?

That would be great! The i7-4600U is slightly faster and the GPU is the same, so if it runs on your it should be OK on mine.

It’s just about playable. It depends on how tolerant you are of 11-30fps :) The main issue is the graphics, AFAICT.

I didn’t play for long, so I didn’t see how it fares with the memory leak that requires you to restart the hospital once an hour or so, otherwise there are massive chugs.

And it seems the game has some weir frustum culling problems – if I zoom out enough for the LOS to hide the people, it’s fine. If I zoom in to a lot of people it drops to 11fps, and then if I zoom right in to a single person it stays at 11fps… but as soon as I pause and unpause it’s back to 25/30fps.

Give it a go for 1,5hours and get a steam refund if you can’t cope?

Thanks for the info. It’s around $5-7 cheaper some other places so I wasn’t going to buy from Steam. But worse case, if it doesn’t work well on my laptop then I just wait to play until January when can play it on my desktop where it will be a much better experience. I’m just trying to avoid spending money now on something I may not use until later, and over the holidays it is likely to be cheaper. Thanks again for checking it out, it will help me decide.

I’m curious, could someone look at the price on these links and tell me what it is from the US please?

The links are weird and unclickable. Here they are again:

https://www.voidu.com/en/two-point-hospital-2 £21.24
https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/two-point-hospital-pc-steam-cd-key £ 20.99
https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/two-point-hospital £19.99

And you didn’t ask for UK prices, but there they are anyway ;)

Well, here are some Euro prices for you!

I was just wondering if the US prices are cheaper than what I get here in France because I think I could activate a US key through the Steam client since my account is US-based. I’m not entirely sure about that.

I’m not sure if i could activate a Euro region key on my account or not. I’ve never really used Steam outside the US, other than just playing game on my laptop in France. The Steam store prices show up in US dollars for me.

I can’t use your links and get USD but when I search on those sites:

Voidu - $31.49
CD Keys - $27.69
Fantical - $27.99

OK, thanks Nesrie!

I got my key via NewEgg. It’s hard to recommend them right now considering their servers were hacked, and their still in the process of figuring out how bad.

So just remember you can get some of these keys from traditional e-tailers too, in some cases.

It’s anecdotal, but I’ve never heard of issues about activating keys from one of the higher price regions in any other one. They are marketed as equivalent for a long time too, and I doubt they want to admit who they’re gouging for now.

In my experience, region locking is according to your geographic location, not the origin of your account. My account is UK based even though I live in the US. Its happy to show me everything in UK prices still but it wont let me use a key that is locked to europe.

Interesting. So in theory it may not let me us a key that is locked to North America while I’m in Europe even though my account is US based.

It seems like North America locked keys are rare now and that keys are either world wide or a different region. Maybe since NA keys tended to have higher prices they worked as @Perky_Goth said.

We have a global population and one that moves while lot of our services seem really stuck with a static ideal. .

My sister was abroad for a few weeks. Several sites would not let her order due to the IP address she was using. She couldn’t order things to have them waiting at her doorstep when she got back.

I had trouble on the islands accessing a few things, but I didn’t play any games. I didn’t really try any games though. I just had my surface pro.

If you buy it and it doesn’t work you can just get an instant refund. No lose scenario!

There are been a few sites where I got rejected while I’m here - I can’t remember which. Then of course our Hulu subscription doesn’t work, and Netflix wouldn’t if we still had it. Luckily my UFC fightpass subscription works and some Amazon video.

Only from Steam which I’m not buying from since they are more expensive. :-)
Maybe I should so it isn’t a gamble. I guess I’ll have to see how lucky I feel :-)

I am having more fun with this game than I have with a game in ages. Steam tells me I’ve played 22-23 hours. I know that’s not a lot for a lot of you, but for me, during the academic year, it’s remarkable! I’m mired in trying to get my hospital value up in some of the levels. I keep plateauing. But that’s ok. I love that there’s a copy room function now (I downloaded the beta patch as soon as I realized that, I didn’t care if there was the possibility of save corruption). That in a huge quality of life improvement. If I can only figure out a) how to get that value up and b) why everyone is desperate for the bathroom when there are !#@$@$ toilets in each building, I’ll be set!
