Tera Rising was officially released in the United States on May 1st, 2012. This was the first MMO I played that offered action combat aiming as opposed to the usually Tab target + aiming then hit your macro. Since I am also a fan of FPS games like Crysis and Call of Duty, I really loved this new style of combat aiming in MMOs.
[adblockingdetector id=”2″]If Tera Rising sparks an interest but you don’t want to waste any money testing it out there is good news. Tera Rising went “free-to-play” in 2013. You just go on the tera.enmasse.com website and download the game. But before you download the game I highly recommend checking to see if your PC can run it. The Tera PC system requirements are listed below.
If you do not know what your Windows PC specs are that is not a problem. I created a tutorial that will show you how to quickly find your processor, memory and graphics cards specs.

Hi i have a Laptop ASUS A55V Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core I7 – 3630QM 2.4GHz
Nvidia GEFORCE 610M 2Gb
RAM: 8.00Gb
Disk: 750Gb
System Type : 64-bit Operating System
Why does my TERA lag so much? i have to play on Low Settings and i still get a bit lag on big Cities
Joey Cam Post author
Hi Simdley,
Thank you for posting your PC specs. Try the following to help you speed up Tera on your Asus laptop…
1 – Download/Install the latest nVidia GeForce 610M drivers for your setup. Nvidia just released new drivers last week.
Here is a link to the new drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/102381/en-us
2 – Make sure your laptop AC power adapter is always plugged in before and during any type of game playing. If it is running on battery power the system will automatically slow down to save battery life. Slowing down the system means LOTS of lag in your games.
3 – Download/Install the free Razor Cortex. Razor will just ask you to give them an email address for the free software.
http://www.razerzone.com/cortex/boost
—– Run Razor Cortex. Select the BOOST option. Then enter Boost Mode.
—– Run Tera
4 – While in Tera. Go into the graphic settings. Select the medium graphic settings option for everything. Save settings.
5 – Play Tera. Test out dungeons, battleground and the major cities that were giving you trouble.
6 – If you still get a lot of lag you must move down your graphic settings to the lowest. That will speed things up.
Please Note: The bottleneck on your laptop is the GeForce 610M graphics card. It is good for some games, but all the graphic processing going on in the Tera major cities and intense dungeons might be too much for it.

Hello,
Can my laptop run tera rising ?
I have an Intel hd graphics and a intel pentium 2,17 Ghz
4gb ram
Thanks for your answer.
Joey Cam Post author
Sorry, the laptop is too slow. Tera will probably be able to install and run but it be very laggy and crash when you make it to highly populated areas or max level dungeons.
AllCrossEdge
Cause of the processor? Or something else.
Joey Cam Post author
Yes, the main reason is the processor. Waaay too slow. The graphics card is also a little on the slow side.

Could i run Tera?
Joey Cam Post author
Hello,
Yes. Your PC specs can run Tera.
You may get some lag, so I recommend doing the following free things to make Tera run smoother…
1. Download the latest AMD Radeon R5 220 graphic drivers from the following site: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
— After the drivers are fully installed, Restart your PC. This is important so they can take full effect.
2. Download / Install “Razor Cortex”. Get it here: http://www.razerzone.com/cortex
— When you are ready to play Tera, first open up Cortex then perform a “Boost”. Last run Tera.
3. Set the Tera in-game graphic settings to “Preset 3”. Any higher and you will get lag during max level dungeons and battlegrounds. You might also freeze while inside highly populated cities like Velika and Highwatch.

I have a Question -> I have a decent PC and can play on max settings but i have a strange problem after playing for a short time and i get drooped from the game and i have checked my stats on the PC but nothing out of the ordinary CPU use is 80~95% and Ram:80~90% but what i see the most is that my PC is thinking non stop. Is my PC too old for this game cuz i can play other games whit greater requirements than TERA.
My PC:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+
RAM: 2 GB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4600
Hard Drive is on 5+ years
From what can be the problem, i Play on EU server.

After you performed all the fixes I suggested and if you login to Tera and still get the crashing issues, it is not your computer or Internet connection. There is a recent game crashing issue that some of us are having. This is due to Tera. They need to fix it. Here is a forum post about it: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/0929-PostMaintenance-Login-Issues-and-Black-Friday-Sale
Joey Cam Post author
Hello,
Thanks for posting your PC specs. You are partially right when you said your PC is too old. The PC specs are too old to play Tera on max settings without any problems. That PC will be able to play Tera great, without any crashes on low to medium graphic settings.
There are 3 things you can do to make Tera run a little better. Do all 3…
#1 – Download / Install the latest ATI Radeon HD 4600 graphics drivers from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
#2 – After the new drivers are installed, restart your PC
#3 – Open up Tera. Enter your login details and just login to the launcher, but do not click the Play button. Click the “Tools” link. Then click the “Click Here to Begin Repair ” button to begin the repair.
#4 – After the Tera Repair is complete, fully close out the Tera launcher and anything associated with Tera
#5 – Download / Install Razor Cortex here: http://www.razerzone.com/cortex It is free software but Razor asks you to register on their site.
#6 – Open up Razor Cortex, click on the “BOOST” link at the top. Then click the huge, green “BOOST NOW” button.
#7 – Run Tera. Set the graphic settings to Medium. Play Tera

It’s either not done right or just not working, also i forgot to mention that the game can be played whit no problems in the beginning area for both reapers and normal champions, don’t know why.
I have a 50 level Elin. Back then i didn’t have a problem.
Joey Cam Post author
If you tried steps 1-7 and get the same result, it is probably an overheating issue since your PC is working too hard while playing this game, which causes excessive heat.
Another thing. Even though the official Tera site still lists the same CPU, RAM and Graphics card requirements it did when it came out in 2012, the computer power needed to run Tera smoothly has been raised. A major update was during the free expansion pack they released “Fate of Arun”. They also just had a major update (not sure if it was as huge to be considered an expansion) during this month with the Brawler update. Tera does look better now compared to what it used to look like when I first started playing it a few years ago. Improved graphics=higher system requirements
I played Tera on my laptop (Intel Core i7 U, 8 GB RAM and Intel HD 5000 graphics) and I had to play on the absolute lowest graphic settings at 720P resolution (my monitors does 1440P) so I would not lag. The exact Tera graphic settings I use when I play on my laptop is “Preset 0”. If I try to play with higher graphic settings the game crashes if I try to do something like a dungeon or battleground. In contrast, my really fast desktop (Intel Core i7 3.2 GHz, 16 GB RAM, GTX 980 Ti) can play Tera at max graphic settings without crashing.
So your PC setup would have worked great 2-3 years ago on Tera, but now, after the free expansion packs were released the game probably needs to be played on “Preset 0” graphic settings in order to eliminate crashes.

I have a GTX 760 3 OC 4 GB edition ,16 GB of ram and octa core i7 3,6 GHz can I run at max settings?
Joey Cam Post author
You can run Tera at near max settings, except when you go to a crowded area and there are a lot of people. Also Guild vs Guild battles and Gridiron battleground will slow your computer down a lot, you may have to go down to medium or low settings for that.

Can you please reply to me I need to know?

Hey i just got Tera on my pc yesterday and as soon as i got it, it started lagging very slow in the menu
can’t really do anything i dont know what to do can you help thanks

Joey Cam Post author
Hello,
Thanks for posting your computer specs.
I see the part that is holding your PC back is the Intel HD graphics card.
Here are a few things you can do to speed the game up a bit. Do all of them in the order I list…
1 – Update to the latest Intel HD graphic drivers. Do this for free at: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
—– After the Intel HD graphic drivers are fully update, Restart your PC. This is a must.
2 – Download / Install Razor Cortex, Game Booster software. Get if from here: http://www.razerzone.com/cortex/game-booster
—– It may have a lot of fancy features, but ignore them all except for 1. Select “Boost” from the menu, then hit the “Boost Now!” button right before you play Tera.
3 – Run Tera
—– Go into the graphic settings and under “Presets” select “0”. Save Settings, then play Tera
—– If Preset 0 is running smooth after playing for 10+ minutes, then push it up to Preset 1. Keep on pushing it up until it starts to run too slow.
—– For dungeons and level 65 stuff like “Gridiron” PvP battleground and large open world PvP, you will probably want to push it down to Preset 0 so it will not lag with all the action happening on your screen.

Tera is lagging on my pc and i wish to nok if it has someting to do with my laptop or is just the internet speed.

Hello,
Has Tera always lagged, new player maybe? OR Has it been smooth before and now it is lagging?
Also, does it lag everywhere or in certain areas. Example: I get good frame rates except when I enter an overly filled area like Amadjuak Trading Post when there are tons of players there.

Can I run it
please reply
Joey Cam Post author
Hello Omar,
I am sorry to say that PC system is not fast enough to run Tera. It will be super laggy, freezing at times for a few seconds, maybe a permanent freeze.
David
yes i have a acer intel celeron j1900 quad core processer with 4gb of ram and 500 in the harddrive and the intergrated graphics card will it run tera
Joey Cam Post author
CPU: Intel Celeron J1900 quad-core 2 GHz (overclocks to 2.42 GHz)
RAM: 4 GB
GRAPHICS: Integrated Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail)
HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
Hi David,
A problem with Tera is that it does not take full advantage of processors that have more than 2 cores. So the Intel Celeron j1900 quad core processor will be treated like a dual core processor. On top of that Celerons have never been that good for playing highly graphical PC games.
This PC setup will not run Tera well, if at all. I do not recommend Tera for this computer.
Mohammed
My videocard: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 on my laptop, will I be able to play Tera?
Joey Cam Post author
Hi Mohammed 🙂
The Intel HD Graphics 4600 will run Tera. But I am not sure what processor and RAM your laptop has or if your processor and RAM is compatible with Tera.
Madao123
hello, i’ve recently downloaded tera online and my computer passes all the minimum requirements but i still dont meet all the requirements and i was wondering if you could help me find out what’s wrong.
Joey Cam Post author
I need to know what Processor and Graphics card you have, also how much RAM your computer has.
This will show you how to easily grab that info: http://www.cleartechinfo.com/how-to-quickly-find-windows-system-information-cpu-ram-graphics-card
Another thing, what exactly is happening when you try to play Tera? Does it crash your computer? Does it give you an error message? Does your screen blank out or what? Your post was vague.
Shannon
Nevermind got it sorted can you please delete my comments if possible please thanks.
Joey Cam Post author
np Shannon. I deleted your comment below per your request.
btw, Tera is one of my favorite MMOs of all-time, mostly because it gets rid of the tab-aiming that most MMOs have. I am sure you will have fun.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Joey Cam Post author
Hello,
Tera will run really slow on that system, tons of lag when you get to major cities and do max level dungeons and battlegrounds. I do not recommend playing Tera on that specific Dell Inspiron laptop.
