4.x Wont Start, Does FirePro D500 meet sys requirements ?

Post by camshaft97 » Thu, 3. Jun 21, 11:42

Greetings,

-Version 4.00
-Windows 10, Mac Pro 2013
-English
-Un-Modified
-Steam tries to start game, but it doesn't start.

Would dual FirePro D500 (as in, quantity of 2) meet that "..or AMD equivalent" system-requirement for X4 ? ( Anyone know of a comparison table or some such ?) I thought I saw Vulkan version 1.1.101 supported in some post somewhere, so I'm pretty sure it supports Vulkan...

Backstory: I'm thoroughly enjoying X4 on a Linux-host, but would like to setup my Mac Pro 2013 (I have my reasons for owning 1), as backup hardware for X4. Apple's Bootcamp lets me boot into Windows 10, steam is installed and config'ed to store games on an external 1-TB drive over thunderbolt, but X4 won't start. I've checked the "readonly" attribute, so next on the checklist is something-like "Check that you meet system requirements".

Thoughts ? ...because, Next, I would need to check the steam-side of things, I guess, like "Does steam support thunderbolt external drive ...on Mac hardware ...running Windows ?"

But first I should confirm X4 can work with dual D500 firepro's ??

thanks in advance,

Here's some AMD D500 details, (... if I linked the file correctly)

If it didn't support Mantle then the chances are that no Vulkan drivers were ever developed for it, so I think your chances are slim.
