Part 8: Optimizing Your System for Rising Tide (Beyond the Requirements)

These specs will get you to the main menu and allow you to play tiny maps with low settings. Expect choppy frame rates during the late-game "Seeding" phase.

  • OS: Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 (64-bit only – Rising Tide does not support 32-bit OS)
  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.0 GHz
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT / AMD Radeon HD 2900 XT / Intel HD 4000 (integrated graphics are barely supported – expect crashes on large maps)
  • Graphics Memory: 512 MB
  • DirectX: Version 11 (required)
  • Storage: 12 GB available space (combined with base game; the expansion itself adds roughly 3.5 GB)
  • Sound Card: DirectX 11 compatible
  • Additional Requirements: Steam client, internet connection for initial download and activation.

Even with the right specs, you might encounter issues. Here are the most frequent Rising Tide download errors.

  • macOS Users: You can download and play Rising Tide on Mac. Requirements are similar to Windows but with Mac-specific GPUs. You need macOS 10.14 (Mojave) or newer, an Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, and a metal-capable GPU (Radeon HD 6970 or better). Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) runs it via Rosetta 2.
  • Linux Users: You cannot natively run Rising Tide on Linux. The base game works via Steam Play (Proton), but the expansion has a "Gold" rating on ProtonDB—meaning it works but requires tweaks. Do not expect official support.
  • Operating System: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD equivalent
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2048 MB video memory)
  • Storage: 20 GB available space
