Guildrun System Requirements

Windows Minimum Requirements

The Windows minimum specification targets stable gameplay at lower settings on hardware from the mid-2010s generation. You need Windows 10 or later — Windows 11 is supported but not required. The processor floor is an Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200. Eight gigabytes of system RAM is required, which means close background applications before launching if your machine shares memory with integrated graphics.

Graphics requirements start at an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 470 with four gigabytes of VRAM. Guildrun's demo autobattler scenes stress GPU fill rate when six heroes trigger abilities simultaneously. Storage demands fifteen gigabytes of available space on an SSD or HDD for the install, with additional room recommended for Steam updates and save files.

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) or later
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 960 or AMD RX 470 (4 GB VRAM)
• Storage: 15 GB available space

Windows Recommended Requirements

Recommended specs describe the hardware for high settings at smooth frame rates on 1080p displays. An Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 provides headroom for background Steam overlay and streaming. Sixteen gigabytes of RAM prevents stutter when alt-tabbing during long endless mode sessions.

The recommended GPU tier includes NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, NVIDIA RTX 2060, or AMD Radeon RX 5700. These cards handle particle-heavy combat on difficulty tiers seven and eight where modifiers stack enemy counts and ability effects. Install on an SSD if possible — faster load times between arena nodes improve the roughly twenty-minute run pacing described in our how to play guide.

• OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060, or RX 5700
• Storage: 15 GB available space (SSD recommended)

Mac Minimum Requirements

Mac support focuses on Apple Silicon machines running modern macOS versions. The minimum requirement is macOS 13 Ventura or later on an Apple M1 chip or better. Intel Macs are not listed in the demo launch specifications — if you own an older Intel-based Mac, check the Steam store page for any updated compatibility notes before purchasing time on the full release.

Memory requirements on Mac are higher than Windows minimum: sixteen gigabytes of unified memory is required, reflecting macOS overhead and the game's autobattler simulation load. Storage requires eighteen gigabytes of available space, slightly above the Windows figure due to platform-specific packaging. M1 base models with eight gigabytes of RAM do not meet the stated minimum.

• OS: macOS 13 Ventura or later
• CPU: Apple M1 or better
• RAM: 16 GB unified memory
• Storage: 18 GB available space

Performance Tips

If you meet minimum specs but experience frame drops during late-run combat, lower particle quality and shadow settings in the options menu first. Autobattler peak load occurs when multiple heroes trigger abilities on the same combat tick — reducing visual effects rarely changes gameplay outcomes but improves readability. Close browser tabs and recording software to free RAM on eight-gigabyte Windows systems.

Updating GPU drivers resolves many launch issues on Windows. On Mac, install the latest macOS point release for Metal API improvements. If the game fails to launch entirely, verify file integrity through Steam and confirm your install path has sufficient free space beyond the minimum. Report persistent issues on the Steam community hub so Leyline can address them before the late 2026 full release.

Requirements and Demo Content

Hardware demands scale modestly with difficulty tier because higher modifiers spawn tougher enemies with more complex ability scripts, not because the demo downloads additional assets mid-run. Endless mode leaderboards use the same install as standard runs. Saving mid-run — covered in the save and resume guide — does not increase storage needs beyond a small save file.
