PC Specs
Can I run Life Is Strange - Episode 1?
PC Specs
If anyone is curious, I can run this on Max settings at 50-60 fps (60fps all the time without MSAA).
PC Specs
Can I run Life Is Strange - Episode 1 ?
PC Specs
How many fps on lowest settings but native resolution? (1280x1024)
PC Specs
I voted yes because... you can run it but you will get frames at around 20FPS
Enjoy!
PC Specs
any chance?
PC Specs
being this game is very well optimised, yeah, low-medium settings with 30-40 fps :)
PC Specs
Can i run it?
Thanks :/
PC Specs
I beat the game at Medium with FXAA at 1280x720 and my Frame Rate probably averaged 35-40 FPS and my GPU is worse than yours so easily :)
It's a good game, I recommend you go for it ^_^
Enjoy!
I only had a few trouble spots where my frames still most likely averaged around 28-30 FPS.
PC Specs
Thanks :)
PC Specs
I read that with your new rig and thought you were trolling then I saw your new one was posted after your comment haha. At first I was like wow what a d*ck.
PC Specs
Yeah, my rig at the time of this comment was my laptop which had a core i5-3337U and a GeForce 710M :P
PC Specs
For those of you considering this game, I highly recommend it to most people out there. It's an amazing experience which I'd advise you try at least
It's got an interesting, engaging and incredibly twisty and dark narrative (did I forget to mention the feels,) compelling characters (especially Max and Chloe,) and it doesn't have crazy system requirements.
PC Specs
In the way of performance just to give people an idea: I ran the majority of the game around 40-45 FPS on the "Medium" preset but with resolution at 1280x720. There were a few trouble spots such as when there is a lot of use of lighting which brings performance down to around 20-25 FPS, and a scene in Episode 4 brought performance down to its knees at 10 FPS, but it was only a blip.
For any of
PC Specs
For any of those with issues with starting up the game (I initially had issues too,) this forum will state numerous ways to fix it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/319630/discussions/1/537405286640101039/
I fixed my issues by downloading Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2012 and 2013 with both x86 and x64 versions
PC Specs
any chance running it on my laptop at 720p? i'm on win10 btw
PC Specs
I'm running at 40 FPS on Medium settings at 1280x720. Some scenes which use a lot of lighting can drop to around 23 FPS or even lower in Episode 4. I'd say you'll be able to run this on low at your resolution, using FXAA by looking at your GPU specs. This game for me is a CPU hog too
I highly recommend this game and I hope you enjoy :)
I did initially have issues, but Google solved that

My reply continued...
If you have issues starting up the game like I did, here's a link to a forum which helped a lot: https://steamcommunity.com/app/319630/discussions/1/537405286640101039/
But yeah, like I said: This game's brilliant, go for it :)
It's got teh feelz
PC Specs
well i don't really rely on 720p tho. if the fps i get is too bad i dont mind lowering it to 1024x768, and i don't really care about AA ( i dont mind not using
PC Specs
Ah, alrighty
I'm not sure how well you'll fare as you run an iGPU and I did test the first scene on Intel HD 4000, which gets significantly less frames.
However, your iGPU has way more SPUs than Intel HD 4000 so you should be fine at low 720p low FXAA or med 1024x768 also with low FXAA
PC Specs
Hi,
can i run this game or i shouldn't bother myself??? Thanks in advance..
PC Specs
i know its late man but go for it. the system requirements of this game are bull****. i can run this game at high settings with an average for 30-40fps. you should be able to at medium settings no problem, :)
PC Specs
can I run it in 1080p ?
PC Specs
Yes.
PC Specs
Can i run
PC Specs
yes , low settings 768 p
PC Specs
can i run it on lowest settings ?
PC Specs
Yes. with 30 fps on 1080p. IF you want, you can try lowering your resolution for more FPS.
PC Specs
This game made a "man" like me cry.
PC Specs
every man has his weak spot...but i guess that Life Is Strange is everyone's weak spot...
PC Specs

PC Specs
Medium setting.. 30 FPS with resolution at 1024 x 768..
PC Specs
Can I run this at, well, 30 fps medium settings? 1280x720 resolution
PC Specs
Yes you can !!!! i am playing episode 1 right now... Game is a little Girlish.
PC Specs
Yeah, I did play through all 5 episodes without a problem, except the over-crowded part in episode 4, but setting everything to low solved the issue there.
PC Specs
can i run this game low at my res possibly. gd says yes since my gpu is 74% better than the minimum gpu.
I played telltale game of thrones at low and which has higher requirements than this game. so any chance :P
PC Specs
You SHOULD be able to play this at "Low-Medium" Settings... it will be smooth gameplay because your Resolution. Have Fun :)
