Steam's game listing lists Windows 7 or later, a dual-core 2 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, Nvidia 400 series or later, DirectX 9.0c, broadband, and 10 GB storage as minimum requirements. The recommended target is a quad-core 2.8 GHz CPU and 8 GB RAM, but the Steam client itself requires Windows 10 or later.
Use this Angels Fall First system requirements page as the current, source-checked answer for this player task. The scope is intentionally practical: confirmed facts first, then clear limits where the official record is still incomplete.
Minimum requirements
Steam lists Windows 7 or later, a dual-core 2 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, an Nvidia 400 series or later graphics card, DirectX 9.0c, broadband internet, and 10 GB of available storage. These are the game’s store-listed minimum fields. Steam also notes that its client requires Windows 10 or later, so a Windows 7 machine may match the game listing but still be unable to run the current Steam client.
Recommended requirements
The recommended line raises the processor target to a quad-core 2.8 GHz CPU and the memory target to 8 GB RAM. Steam does not present a modern benchmark table or a guaranteed frame rate for every resolution. Use the requirements as an entry check, then tune the actual build through the settings page and a practice match.
How to troubleshoot a borderline system
Confirm the Steam files and current 1.0 build first. Then lower one graphics setting at a time, keep the resolution readable, and test in an offline or bot match before judging a live server. If the failure is a crash, missing asset, or version mismatch rather than a frame-rate problem, use troubleshooting and the current Steam announcements.
Requirements are not a promise
The Angels Fall First system requirements are a source-backed baseline, not a guarantee that every old laptop will deliver the same experience. Background software, drivers, resolution, server load, and the 1.0 build all matter. This wiki avoids translating the minimum line into an unsupported “runs perfectly” claim.
