Tested on one of older computers that was crashing at game startup with -diag:

So, indeed, a bit outside the range of supported hardware.
Is there a way to make these run with A8 engine, or separate distribution of earlier (I'm certain that A5 and A6 projects did run good on similar specs) engine version is needed?
