Here are NCSoft's minimum and recommended system requirements to play Lineage II. However, we felt that their recommended requirements were a a bit low to fully enjoy the game so we added our own suggestion. Most important on the list is RAM. You can tweak graphics settings and turn off most intensive features with the in game settings. Get at least 2 GB of memory for smooth play. If your running Windows Vista, 2GB of RAM is a must for smooth play.

* Lineage II requires DirectX 9.0c or above. Lineage II will not run on Windows 95. Install DirectX 8.1 or above and the latest drivers for your video card.

If your system does not meet the minimum requirements, the game either will not run or will not function properly.

If your system only meets the minimum requirements, turn on low detail in your graphics settings. In addition, turn off player names in your game options menu, especially during sieges to greatly improve your system performance. You can also turn on minimum frame mode by pressing Alt-P while in game.
