Light Nite is designed to run well on a wide variety of PC hardware so that as many players as possible can board the Battle Bus and play. To play Light Nite at its best on PC, we recommend the following system specifications.

Recommended System Requirements

📼  Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 or equivalent DX11 GPU
💻  Video Memory: 2 GB VRAM
📟  Processor: Core i5-7300U 3.5 GHz
🚀  Memory 8 GB RAM
📇  OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit or Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6

Minimum System Requirements

📼  Video Card:  Intel HD 4000 on PC or Intel Iris Pro 5200 or equivalent AMD GPU on Mac
📟  Processor: Core i3-3225 3.3 GHz
🚀  Memory 4 GB RAM
📇  OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit or Mac OS Mojave10.14.6

Mac computers must support Metal API. Check if your Mac supports Metal here.

If you just meet the minimum system requirements, Light Nite will run on your machine, but probably not on the highest settings. Reducing the graphics settings in Light Nite and disabling background apps will help.

How to verify your PC or Mac meets system requirements

PC:

  1. Click Start.
  2. Type System Information and press Enter.
  3. Go to the System Summary to view and review your operating system, type of processor, and amount of memory. Make sure these meet or exceed the requirements list above.
    Example:
    Light Nite requires a Core i3-3225 3.3 GHz and the system information file shows a Core i7-7600U 2.8GHz, which meets (and exceeds) the minimum system requirements.

  7. If you meet the requirements to run Light Nite but are having trouble use our troubleshooting articles.

Mac:

  1. Clicking the Apple icon in the top left corner and select About this Mac:
    About this Mac window
  2. Compare your macOS version, Processor , Memory and Graphics  to the Light Nite system requirements. 

As an example with the above Mac:

  • macOS: 10.15.4
  • Processor : Intel i9 2.4 GHz 
  • Memory: 32 GB
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M

This Mac exceeds the requirements to run Light Nite as it as a higher version of macOS, a faster processor, more memory, and a good enough video card.
