To run ROB RUN you need 64-bit Windows 10 or newer, at least an Intel i5-6600K or Ryzen 5 1600, 12 GB of memory, and a GTX 1050 Ti, RX 580 or Arc A380 graphics card. Kefir recommends an i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB of memory, and an RTX 2070, RX 5700 XT or Arc B570.
Both need 20 GB of free space, DirectX 11 and an internet connection. Here is the full table, what those specs leave out, and what to check if the game struggles anyway.
Minimum and Recommended Specs
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | 64-bit Windows 10 or newer | 64-bit Windows 10 or newer |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| Memory | 12 GB | 16 GB |
| Graphics | GTX 1050 Ti, RX 580 or Arc A380 | RTX 2070, RX 5700 XT or Arc B570 |
| DirectX | 11 | 11 |
| Network | Broadband internet | Broadband internet |
| Storage | 20 GB | 20 GB |
The game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. The help center and the Steam store page give the same numbers, and the game is free to download, so the cost of checking is only your time and bandwidth.
What the Specs Do Not Tell You
No frame rate or resolution target. Kefir does not say what either tier delivers, so “recommended” is not a promise of 60 FPS. Plan on testing your own settings, and our settings guide shows how.
Memory matters more than usual. The 12 GB minimum is higher than many games ask for, so an 8 GB machine sits below the line even if its processor and graphics card clear theirs.
The servers are the real wild card. ROB RUN is an online-only MMO, so a strong PC does nothing for a bad connection. Kefir runs EU and East US regions as of launch, and you can only change region through the prison, which our server guide explains.
Windows Only, for Now
Windows is the only platform on the Steam page, and Kefir lists no Mac or Linux requirements. A few official details affect anyone trying to run it another way:
- Easy Anti-Cheat is required. Kefir’s anti-cheat page says the game uses it, and cheating means a permanent ban. Errors E-0501 and E-0502 mean it is not running, corrupted or blocked by third-party software.
- Remote and cloud play can fail. Kefir’s error list says E-0601 means a keyboard and mouse were not detected, and that it often happens through Remote Desktop or cloud streaming services.
- Launch through Steam. Kefir gives this as part of the fix for anti-cheat errors, so do not use a direct shortcut to the game’s files.
If Your PC Meets the Specs but It Runs Badly
Try these in this order:
- Check your mouse polling rate. If your frame rate falls to single digits only when you move the mouse, Kefir blames a high polling rate. Lower it in your mouse’s app.
- Update your graphics drivers.
- Turn off overlays. Kefir names Discord and GeForce Experience.
- Close other apps and restart. Kefir’s crash advice starts here.
- Verify your files. In Steam, open Properties, then Installed Files, then Verify integrity of game files. Kefir’s loading help includes this step.
- Update your BIOS. Kefir suggests this especially for 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors. Leave it until last.
If You Get an Error Code Instead
Connection trouble can look like a hardware problem. Kefir’s list says E-0101 and E-0110 are connection errors, E-0201 means a lost connection, and E-0301 and E-0302 mean an outdated game. For E-0303 and E-0304, it says to wait 10 to 15 minutes, disable any proxy and verify your files.
