System Requirements | Middle Earth - Mithril LEGO bricks LEGO The Hobbit Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

LEGO The Hobbit, in the PC version, is not a game of steep system requirements, although it is worth noting that they are discernibly higher than those, in the case of LEGO The Lord of the Rings. If you want to enjoy high-res textures, or some of the more advanced graphical effects, you need to have a much better graphics processor, than the one specified in the minimum requirements. At the same time, it is worth adding that there are many bugs and glitches in LEGO The Hobbit which may make enjoying the game much more difficult. In extreme situations, what may happen, is damaging the information of the progress, which will have you start the entire campaign over. It is, therefore, recommended, that you install the most recent patch, still before you start the game. LEGO The Hobbit for PC does not require a stiff connection to the Internet, nor does it have any multiplayer modes. Just like in the case of the other games from Traveller's Tales there is a split screen co-op available in the game. However, it only works locally. Therefore, you need to play, with the other player, at one computer or at one console, and you cannot communicate with the other players over the Internet.
