1302.	Solve : Best resolution(s) for simulators?
Answer» Hi again. What would be the best resolution for simulators e.g. railworks for a LAPTOP with this: 2GB RAM 156GB Storage Intel Celeron processor( NOT dual core) Intel graphics media accelerator driver 1280x800 screen resolution The reason is because when i try some of the resolutions e.g 1280x800 it becomes really furstratingly slow. Mattmisread. nvm Most ordinary laptops are not built for games with big graphic demands. Your best bet is to go down on the resolution to maybe 800x600 and that should help it alittle.I have already tried that but it still is very slow and totaly unplayable. But THANKS anyway. MattYou should probably look into getting a graphics card.Quote from: kpac on July 07, 2010, 03:28:26 PM You should probably look into getting a graphics card. Kpac, it is a laptop Sorry to say that the laptop itself may not have the guts to run the game as you want it. As well as resolution, try turning off things like shadows, and lower the viewing distance in game, these two things can give a significant FPS boost.Quote from: Kurtiskain on July 07, 2010, 05:53:44 PM Kpac, it is a laptop Ugh......sorry. I actually went to currys digital yesterday and i seen a laptop with 3GB RAM that costs roughly about £375-£380 which is less than my laptop because mine cost £400 AND my laptop only has 2GB RAM. IT EVEN HAS A BETTER PROCESSOR THAN MINE! it's the celeron DUAL CORE and mine only has the celeron (non dual core). my laptop was 699$ and it's a Dual Core T3200, with 4GB of RAM and a DVD-RW burner. I think 699$ is pretty close to 400 Pounds (hey, I don't MEMORIZE exchange rates), too. But seriously, you are going to need a lot more HORSEPOWER to run that game. Even my laptop has TROUBLE running most games (well, that's not 100% true, but it certainly can't compete with my desktop machine at all) Quote from: PC Maniac on July 08, 2010, 04:35:19 AM I actually went to currys digital yesterday and i seen a laptop with 3GB RAM that costs roughly about £375-£380 which is less than my laptop because mine cost £400 AND my laptop only has 2GB RAM.

Solve : Best resolution(s) for simulators?

Answer»

Hi again.

What would be the best resolution for simulators e.g. railworks for a LAPTOP with this:

2GB RAM

156GB Storage

Intel Celeron processor( NOT dual core)

Intel graphics media accelerator driver

1280x800 screen resolution

The reason is because when i try some of the resolutions e.g 1280x800 it becomes really furstratingly slow.

Mattmisread. nvm

1304.	Solve : Good cooperative play PC game?
Answer» My wife and I have been having a lot of fun playing Lego Batman for the PC together, but we will be finishing the game soon. What other PC games are out there that are somewhat family friendly (not FPS) that can be played cooperatively? I have been trying google searches, etc. but all of the lists are either really long or really short. Not one of the lists mentioned Lego Batman as a PC game either, so I imagine there must be other games geared towards CONSOLES that have been released for the PC as WELL that are not listed. Thanks for any suggestions.You could try MMORPGs? Star Trek Online (my current one) WORLD of Warcraft (Still have an active account) EVE (EWWWWWW) Thinks like that? You could also try Strategy games like the Total WAR series. Napoleon Total War now offers co-op campaign mode which makes for a very long game. Depends what type of games you likeLike I said, I am interested in family-friendly games, so anything with an "M" rating is out of the question. Also, it has to be something that two players can play on the same computer at the same time. It could be split-screen, or shared screen, but I am not interested in online games. Just the two of us.Hmmmm, best bet would be a Nintendo Wii although I hate them myself. Trying to think of any games that are split screen co-op. Only one that comes to kind is castle crashers, available on xbox store. Co-op has been pretty phased out since online gaming is more the norm now I'm afraid.Battlezone 2 It's a future fighting style game. It's a bit older but still fun. RTS + First/Third person Views.

Answer» Looks LIKE it will be a very challenging game. Portal 2 Looks pretty cool. Still haven't played the original Portal, getting way behind on computer games.Portal was a really GREAT game. Great physics-based PUZZLE game. Got it free with the Steam on Mac promotion.I agree, Portal is awesome, I got it as part of the Orange Box. I LOVED the way you had to THINK and still have a level of maneuverability skill to get through to the end.

1307.	Solve : The Sims 3 CPU speed?
Answer» Hey folks, I've just bought the Sims 3 and was told by the cashier to use the 'can i run it' website to check whether the game's compatible with my laptop. I passed everythin except for the cpu speed and i realise there's nothing much i can do abt that so my question is can i still play the game on my laptop? I have an HP pavilion dv6000, windows vista. CPU Speed Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics CHIPSETS then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.] You Have: 803.00 MHz FAIL Minimum CPU Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.] You Have: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 PASS RAM Minimum: (XP) 1 GB RAM; (Vista/7) 1.5 GB RAM [If built-in graphics then add 0.5 GB additional RAM] You Have: 2.0 GB PASS OS Minimum: Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) or Windows 7 You Have: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 2 (build 6002), 32-bit PASS Video Card Minimum: 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 or above / ATI Radeon 9500 or above / Intel GMA 3-series or above) You Have: GeForce 8400M GS PASS Features: Minimum ATTRIBUTES of your Video Card Required You Have Video RAM 128 MB 880.0 MB 3D Yes Yes Pixel Shader version 2.0 4.0 Free DISK Space Minimum: 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games. You Have: 127.9 GB I don't see why it's showing 803MHz. Your CPU is a dual core @ 1.9GHz. (1900MHz on each core) Just out of curiosity, download, install, and run this... http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_153_setup.exe Tell us what it shows for your CPU. Look at the "Core Speed".I ran the program and it came up with the same thing, 803.6Mz Any chance i can still get away with runnin the game?I guess i'm confused. Because the "Can I run it" tool shows your exact CPU, and then says that it's only 803.6MHz. Thats not even half of one core's speed. Maybe there's a problem with your motherboard and/or RAM thats causing your CPU to show only 803MHz. The amount of RAM is good, but I don't know if it's compatible with your motherboard and CPU. Use the CPU ID tool to tell us what it says about your motherboard, and look at the "Speed" tab and tell us what it says about your RAM. Have you bought the game already? If so, have you opened it?The thing with laptop gaming is the CPU is more likely to be thermal throttled, and run at a reduced speed to save battery power, therefore extending the time between charges. So the CPU is either overheating, or the laptop is running on a 'low power' mode. The low power mode option is a lot more likely. Are you running the laptop off battery? What power profile are you using when plugged in?Hey, I was on low power as at that point I NEEDED a new batterybut i've bought a new battery and changed it to hp settings and I've passed the canirunit test. THANKS very much for the tip.I personally would never do any gaming with out my laptop plugged in and on a well ventilated surface. As Kurtiskain pointed out most laptops run on reduced setting when on battery power unless you go in and change the settings your self. Also if you add in the strain on the battery and heat generated when gaming it is just good practice to have it plugged in and ventilated.maybe you want to get a laptop cooler to keep it chilled while u play.

You're probably right, it's not a driver issue, it's a HARDWARE one. It's not a problem, it's just that you've reached the limit to what the Intel video chipset can do.hmm :/ any thing i can do You might be ABLE to get away with setting your games to the lowest possible QUALITY, but it probably still won't work very well. However, seeing as it's a laptop, there's nothing you can do. Laptops are not the best thing for gaming, they're even worse for gaming when they've got an Intel chipset. Another thing that hurts is that it only has 512MB of RAM, which it also shares for video. My advice: (and I KNOW it's not what you're gonna want to hear) If you really wanna play games, invest in a good desktop. If it must be a laptop, make sure it's got an ATI or Geforce chipset in it and enough RAM to support both the system and the video card, since it's shared in most laptops.Quaxo: I'd fully agree if the games were more modern, but since they are relatively old and also have quite low requirements, I don't think it's the normal issue of a underpowered integrated graphics. However, that being said, I think the "try reducing quality/res" idea might be worth a shot. For some reason or another the graphics driver is crashing, and the fact that it does so on a relatively old game is somewhat worrisome. Does the laptop work with any other Direct3d/OpenGL utilizing games? Also, in an interesting coincidence, I had the exact same problem on my older PC with a Nvidia 5500FX- I was able to fix it by updating the game, so if you haven't done so, make sure to install the latest patches (for C&C first decade if that is the product you actually have those games as part of).i find my lapot a bit weird it can run portal, but i wont run c&c games, i can play ra2. hmm ill see if i can find the up date patches.

Actually, given the new information that it can run Portal fine, I'd be inclined to blame DirectX/Direct3d- or, I suppose, more precisely, the Intel Driver/Chipset's implementation of it.hmmm i have enough old parts laying around i will try to build a tower just to play them and finish the games or i could micro wave my laptop (i think would be more enter taining ) dont try that at home

But, updating your drivers on the respected graphics card website should fix the problemthis thread is a year old.

1315.	Solve : My computer struggles with CoD4 Multiplayer, but not single player!?
Answer» Hey. I've had in my COMPUTER a nVidia 9600GT for two years, but lately it struggles with Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer. Some specs include Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows XP 32 bit. In the multiplayer, even the INTERFACE(before I even join a game) skips every second or so, and then in a game it keeps skipping every second or so. Also, sometimes(about 30% of the time) it will let me play with very little skips or lagginess so that it's actually playable, but it still hiccups sometimes. But what is very odd is that it's only the multiplayer portion that skips and lags. The single PLAYER portion(which is actually a whole different executable) never lags nor skips at all. I've had this computer for two years and only within the last few months has it seemed to struggle. And, it's not a problem with my internet because the computer sitting next to me with a nVidia 8400GS, 2GHz single core CPU, and 1GB RAM runs the same THING just fine. I had both computers spectating the same person in the game, and my 9600GT computer skipped and was unbearable while the 8400GS was smooth. Does anyone have any clue why this could be? Thanks!

1320.	Solve : My VB/Java Browser Based MMORPG Project! (In Development)?
Answer» Here is a sneak peak video! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c_xoH0kb6M Please VISIT our website at: http://www.r-go.tk Racing Gears Online is a new MMORPG that I am designing. It is a delightful throwback to the genre of isometric-view racers, which hasn't been great since the days of Rock N Roll Racing and Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road. Featuring tight racing controls, 12 wacky driver avatars encapsulated in 12 real-life vehicles, and fast-paced, addictive, and challenging racing, Racing Gears Online is simply a great game in every respect. If you've been pining for the days of simplistic, addictive racers, like RC Pro-Am and the old Micro Machines games, then you're in for a treat with Racing Gears Online. Upon starting the game, you'll find yourself with only a few unlocked tracks. Some of the cars include a H2 Hummer, a Dodge Super-8 Hemi, a Lotus Typhoon, and a Chevrolet SSR, among others. Each car is also armed with its own special ability, like one that makes other racers SPIN out when they come into contact with you, or a speed boost that's activated whenever you're hit with a weapon. Before a race, you also have the option to use an individual racer's cash to buy weapons, like oil slicks, smoke screens, nitro boosts, and land mines. These gimmicky abilities, along with the weaponry, come together to create a style of racing that's almost comparable to a modern-day kart racer. However, it isn't all blasters and oil slicks, thankfully, and the driving engine is where the game really excels. When racing in Racing Gears Online, you're presented with an isometric viewpoint. Just press Z to accelerate, X to brake, and let up on the accelerator around corners to pull off a powerslide. That's about all there is to the driving mechanics, but that hardly makes the game easy. Your opponents (which include computers as well as other online players) are quite tough, forcing you to bob and weave through enemy weaponry, as well as keep an eye out for hidden shortcuts (of which there are almost always at least one or two in every track). The best thing, however, is that the challenge of races never feels artificial. There's no rubber-band artificial intelligence that lets CPU drivers catch up with you--right at the last second--when you're about to win. Every racer is just as capable of screwing up as you, so if you suck at the game, it's totally on you to learn the tracks and improve, because you won't have any cheap opponent racers to blame your inherent lack of skill on. And since the racing is so wholly enjoyable, you'll most certainly want to get better anyhow. The track designs in the game also help matters quite a bit. There is a huge variety of environments, the tracks are laid out with plenty of twists, turns, terrain changes and OBSTACLES to navigate. The addition of the shortcuts also keeps things interesting, especially since the locations of most of them are tough to decipher until you've repeated a track a few times. Overall, there's more than enough variety and challenge contained within each track to keep you coming back time and time again. All the cars start out basically the same upon your first play. However, as you play through the game online with others, you'll earn mad amounts of cash you can use to purchase upgrades for things like tires, your engine, and weapon storage. The tire upgrades are especially useful, as the game uses a few different types of terrain and weather across each track. So you'll have snow tires for snowy conditions and dirt tires for off-road courses. Outside of the online mode, there are the usual quick race (computer players only) and practice modes. There's a nice variety of weaponry and car upgrades in the game, providing you with more than enough reason to keep coming back to earn more cash. Aesthetically, Racing Gears Online is a fairly simple-looking game, although it's hardly an unattractive one. The 2D car sprites and environments blend together very nicely, and the cars actually show off a fair amount of detail. The game's most impressive achievements in the realm of presentation come from its technical aspects. The isometric, top-down camera that's employed works extremely well, never moving in such a way as to cause you to crash just because you didn't see a turn coming. Even if you do happen to drive behind a piece of scenery, a little arrow icon appears to denote where your car is, preventing you from losing sight of it. Racing Gears also runs at a constantly smooth rate, never chugging or breaking up frames, no matter how much craziness is occurring onscreen at once. The basic makeup of the audio is largely excellent, featuring solid car effects, some neat weapon effects, and some exceptionally catchy tunes that play while you race. The songs sound like MIDI-inspired versions of Fatboy Slim-esque dance tracks, and they're all very listenable. All told, Racing Gears Online is an extremely pleasant surprise that delivers as good of an arcade racing experience with the modern day mmorpg era as you're going to find for a java browser based game. It is one of the the flashiest, deepest, most action-packed racer you'll ever see, and it has more than enough well-produced, addictive qualities to make it worth a spot in your collection of free to play MMORPG's.You Should Change The View !!!!!!!!!!!!! The View U Are Using Is As Same As Gta London Or 2 (Whatever It Might Be) It Looked Old , Gameplay :9.0 View :5.0 Mechanics :9.5 Hmm, very interesting how you were able to use the exact same resolution as the SNES (256x224) Also curious why you would choose to use the name "A button" and "B button" for the game functions. that makes no sense. Unless of course it is a SNES game. Additionally, while it is claimed that you are "racing 7 of your friends" this is also not the case. For one, your car is faster then ALL of them. This is a trait of the CPU players in a game being slightly slower then the player. Additionally, I find it hard to believe that everybody playing except for you would just happen to randomly decide to drive along the exact same racing line. Almost like it's defined for an AI. Given these inconsistencies and the lack of any actual perspective that proves it's running on the PC rather then on the SNES where it Obviously came from, I don't believe this.StarCraft Runs on any PC Costs $20 Will kill hundreds of HOURS

Answer» Guys stop going OT. =PI agree with the comment's above, you do LOSE out A lot on life playing games like Second Life etc... so many things can destroy you playing those sort of games. Specially for young people has they grow up not focusing on school there future because stuff like that will become A habit which develops A hole, the more you play, the more chance you life is going down it's A serious habit. Even on the X-box and PS3 getting really addicting to playing a COD or HALO etc.... Playing that all day INSTEAD of going out and communicating with others getting some exercise and fresh air. It's really unhealthy for your and really bad for your future, it's ok to play games now and then in your spare time. Even most unemployed adults over the age of 18+ still doing stuff like that and living with there parents because they never focused on school and his future and just stuck in another world and not even getting a job. But anyone should think more about there future more than games. Games can wait and be played anytime, but Time doesn't.Completely agree with Imran.

1327.	Solve : Crysis displays error message before loading?
Answer» Hi, I just fixed an issue I had with my computer that CAUSED it to freeze, and now I finally got back up to speed, went to install crysis, and after installing it and trying to play it, I get a message that says, "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup (1000)". The problem is that I'm using the original dvd , not a copy. My only clue is this: right before the freezing issue occurred, I had been playing crysis for about 4 hours straight on this new system which I had BUILT same day. The game was right in the middle of an in-level event when it suddenly froze...audio looped very rapidly forever and the screen displayed the last image I had just seen. After I RESTARTED the system, the freezing issue started occurring with my entire system(eventually fixed by updating BIOS). However, while trying to fix the freezing issue, I DECIDED to try playing crysis again to see if the system would crash...the first time I tried doing this, I received this same "original disc" error. It's almost like the disc became corrupted by the first freezing event. Any ideas on how/if I can fix this without having to go BUY a new game? Thanks!reinstall itTry these links: http://www.overclock.net/pc-games/258995-crysis-disk-clicks-when-put-my.html http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/36113 http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=302187 Ahh, ok. Looks like a lot of people have this problem, I should have done my homework...thanks anyways! As a final note, it does make that clicking noise that's being described, but oddly enough I tried to play the game last night and it worked, so I guess I just need to keep the disk clean.

Actually, there is a small application for Halo PC that allows you to put symbols in your name so I think there is SOMETHING similar in your situation.Hmm, Interesting. Now I KNOW someone out there knows how to do this, Cause I have seen people using long names on there profiles. Now, Let's GET something straight.

Thanks.I actually don't know where you could go but I would try looking at CoD4 fan sites and/or maybe download sites. To get the name utility for Halo, you can get it at a halo modding site so I would try and do the same.OK, All you have to do Is..... Go to the options menu, Than multiplayer options.

Is there a way that I can play online with them even though I'm using a PC? I think the servers are different and I didn't know if I could DOWNLOAD something or if they could do something so that we can all play together online. Thanks for any HELP.Im pretty sure you cant :\ Assuming that on the PC you actually get to pick a server to play on, you wont be able to play with people online on 360 or PS3. I know some games ALLOW you to play against 360 players like shadowrun for example, but Im pretty sure CoD4 isnt one of those games. Hope that was help Nope you cantThanks guys.

Answer» Hey guys I have a question concerning a game mod for Grand Theft Auto Multiplayer. Me and my friend are trying to start up a multiplayer roleplay server but IM not exactly sure how to start one up and I dont have the scripts for it. Can anyone provide me with some facts to get started? I downloaded the things required to start a server, but the instructions arnt so clear...Any help would be greatly appreciated If you could provide a good roleplay script as well, ill pay you 100 space dollars Anyone? Is there online play built into the game? If not, then there more than likely isn't multiplayer.It's a modification www.sa-mp.com So yes there is multiplayer, and yes you can start a serverHave a look here: http://forum.sa-mp.com/index.php?topic=72147.0 Apparently, there are no servers online, so it looks like you'll have to set up your own. Hm, Thanks alot, Still very confusing for me Im willing to give someone admin rights on the server if they help out, Me and someone else will be paying for it though so all you have to do is set it up Well, if you're asking me, sorry, I don't have time at the moment with exams and other stuff going on. I'd love to help though. Have a read through the instructions again. It mightn't seem that confusing after a while. You did give me a good start though Ill have a look through all this stuff again, I manage to set it up once...Second time not so much... Thanks for the help though and good luck on your exams! If anyone is willing to help PM me, Ill fill you in on the details, I have the scripts and the link on where you can retrieve them for anyone willing to helpNo problem, and thanks for the luck. A notice for those interested in my (maybe our if you help out! ) server can CHECK out my website, used to be for a game called Second Life, The website is in process of being updated for gta exclusively. The blog contains some of our basic ideas on what the server will have, although not complete. My website is relatively new so I am in need for members. What does that mean for you? Well, we are in need of people to run gangs! Recruit some friends and apply to have your gang created on the server. Please check the blog for details!!! Thanks guys! www.corleonefamilymafia.webs.com Just in case you were still needing help.... Once your server is RUNNING, you will need to port forward from your modem/router to your computer, and tell your friend your external IP address to connect to, to start the game.Thats another part thats a bit confusing for me, I MIGHT be able to do that though... Im kinda noobish at starting a server but we all have to start somewhere Anything else you could help with would be greatly appreciated Im also currently looking for a scripter, I have a script I downloaded somewhere but im trying to add a few more features to make it more unique, if anyone can help with that few free to PM or reply, help will of course get you admin rights Thanks for all your help guys

1339.	Solve : Wrath of the Lich King?
Answer» Hi. A friend and I who used to play WoW quite a bit. we were both endgame and everything in Burning Crusade are considering coming back for Wrath. Towards the end of our time in WoW though BC had become soooo boring and we COULD barely stand it. My question is is it worth it to come back for Wrath? Is it a lot different than BC, what is different exactly? Thanks in advance.I know- I become boring after a while. Sorry about that.It is getting a little boring after the high of "Midnight Madness" but if you are wanting to get back into it, give it a shot. Even if you get bored with it, you could always sell [image removed]True my friend and I have pretty decided to give it a shot. The death knight seems pretty appealing to me and leveling up and the whoel social aspect is what I miss most from the game so were going to jump back in and level a couple death knights together. I think I'm going to be a gnome I am giddy with excitement lol.I have had a blast leveling to 80, but then the grind of running the same instances over and over gets a bit old. Guess, it is time to make a new character or get back into the pvp side of things.Hmm yeah. We have both bought the game now and I must say I've barely touched it since I've had it. I have a dk now LEVELED it to i think 59 lol and haven't even touched my main character still level 70. My friend on the other hand though has been playing an insane amount of time. I really just do not have that kind of time. I mean it literally took me 2 years to get to level 70, but so far the little I have seen of the game I really like it.well to be honest Blizz has MADE WoW a very casual game, even if you were only to play it an hour at a time it would still take less than a month to level a lvl 70 to 80 its much more laid back than it was in Pre- TBC and TBC itself. but i think this has lost its appealI currently have WoTLK...but the only reason I came back was for the lvl 80 and the Death Knights. TBC was the better expansion, and though the new instances are fun, they do get boring.DK's are a fun toon to play, VERY TOUGH TANKS with the plate gear, and the quests actually give you nice blue gear rewards that are far better than what you could buy in the auction house etc. My choice for my DK was a female Night Elf... she kicks serious censored and can shadowmeld if the mob is too much for her as part of her racial inherritance of being a night elf. Also the AOE ( Area of Effect ) casts that do not require Mana! Is awesome, you can both be in the mob pit hacking and slashing axeing them down and cast DOT ( Damage over Time) AOE's to bring death to all enemies around you. Still havent found the weakness to the DK, but to have a balance in the game there has to be some weakness, whether its FEAR SPAMMING from a Warlock or whatever it may be that affects all others anyways. I have played for 2.5 years and the social aspect of the game is what really keeps it going for me. Dailys just get plain boring, but the interaction with other people is priceless at times. Met lots of good people and continue to do so. So its a gamers chat room for me at times. Also it helps to not just have 80s, but also have some new toons to run dungeons etc with the chance that you could die etc vs becoming so strong and tanked out with the best epic armor and socketed gems for theri stats that you become GODLIKE and it gets boring if you dont have to worry about dying in the game and swat bosses like flies. Without a challenge it gets old fast if you are playing the game, just to play the game not not be social.it may not be in the spirt of the post, but i got a 56 druid. which brings me to, personally i think druids, are kinda for people like me who cant decide what class to be at the start. i mean you can flip flop if you want lol, with respecializing and all...(hmmm balance, feral, resto... what to choose what to choose,)

Answer» ATI I thought I'll take a quick look Yep ATI or do you need more info about it (where can I find it Rofl) and thanks for the replies nowI have patience, but I'm waiting for quite a while now since I first posted my problem... There's a limit to everything you know...well when what I suggested didn't work I ran out of ideas. As far as the patience thing goes you have TWO options. 1. Continue to patiently wait for some one that knows how to fix your problem to volunteer their time to help you. Since no one here gets paid for the assistance they give they tend to help people as they can and when their time allows not when the person with the problem thinks they have to have it solved by. 2. If you can't wait to be able to play a game then you could always look for additional help elsewhereActually- a bump once a WEEK would be acceptable. I usually don't go past my first page of unread posts. Sorry I can't BRING anything relevant to the issue though I don't want to be ungratefull, but it sometimes takes a while before some1 finally posts something. And when I post something like my post above, I get replies. So yes, I'll wait, but I hope it's worth it...you've waited this long and yet done nothing to find out what your actual video adapter is. check device manager. It sounds to me that your drivers are not installed properly or your card is not returning the proper GLstrings or DX caps for the game to realize that the card has TnL... or it doesn't have TnL in the first place.I haven't told anyone CAUSE I don't know where to find it ... I told you guys I'm a noob. All my other games work properly, so I don't know what's wrong?Hi again guys. Take a look at this link please. Click here. This guy has almost same problem. But I don't really understand much of what they say. Also, I don't think I'm able to download a more recent Graphic driver from ATI. When I got my new hard disk and they tried to reinstalled my drivers, they couldn't install the ATI graphic driver cause it was to new or just didn't worked on my laptop, so they found an even older VERSION which finally worked... Is this more helpfull to you guys? Greetz, BaldirAlso, I tried to do what this guy did (about the driver thingy) This is what I could find so far : Chiptype : ATI U1 (C6) DAC-Type : Internal DAC(350MHz) Memory and something else, space? (it's in Dutch so I have to translate) 16 MB Adaptersignseries : Mobility U1 BIOS-info : BK5.0.0 VR001.000.006.004.010.000.001.001 ca 16MB Graphics card is not going to be enough to run Battlefront...I have played it before, and even on m 128MB 9700 Pro it was barely playable on medium with a 2.5GHz Celeron...then I tried BF2....i just about cried.I guess there is no way to update/upgrade it for free, not? Guess I'll just have to wait till I ever get a better laptop/computer. Otherwise, how much would a new graphic card be (like kinda very new, with almost all new features) and would it work on a 6 year old laptop? Also, I have Halo, and my graphic card is a bit to low for it, but it still runs. Graphics are slightly worse but I'm used to it and it ain't that bad. Is the graphic card able to stop the game from launching? Normally it would just start but with horrible graphic then, not?A laptops graphics card is very rarely upgradeable. If the graphics card's specs do not cover what the game needs, then yes you are correct in saying that the game will not open.k that sucks. Well, at least I know what the prob is now ty

1342.	Solve : Silly question?
Answer» This maybe a silly question, but I am going to ask anyway. This has been driving me nuts, I have just recently been dabbling with gaming on my PC. I installed Tiger Woods 2008 and everything is perfect, except, the machine wont let me PLAY the game with the controller I bought (logitech dual action USB). It will however let me play using my mouse. I'm sure there is something that I am missing? Please help the rookie. With some of the logitech CONTROLLERS you have to download software (normally comes with the controllers). I have a couple of those controllers myself. I don't remember if they are plug and play though. Also if you haven't already, check in the game options to see if you can change the controls to WORK with your controller. Sorry if this doesn't help any, hopefully it does though.I did get a driver disk with the controller, and successfully loaded it. I can go into control PANEL and access the controller to run a TEST sequence on it. I also went through all the options that I could find on the game and didn't recognize anything that looked like it would fix the issue.Then the game either doesnt support the controller or your missing the settings in the gameYou probably dont have it set it varies on the game but some times you have to do it manually.keep in mind vista is renown for its lack of plug and play options, i had the same controller it worked with xp, but vista wouldn't recongnize it...you probably needed a seperate driver. there for the answer to your question that your going to ask is in it.

Ive noticed that the game intro is extremely laggy, but I don't know what to make of that. I have used games from the same maker that worked fine. I tried lowering the game resolution but the same thing happened. Please help me!!!What game is this?Its actually only a game demo. Its the the demo for the new game Empire Total War. But since its only a demo I fear I will have the same problem when the actual game is released. (although I have had similar problems with other games) Computer specs please.

Operating System
RAM
Processor (+ speed)
Free Hard Drive space
Hard Drive capacity

If this is a prebuilt computer, please provide it's manufacturer and model number.Operating System: Windows XP Professional, version 5.1 (build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111 : Service Pack 3)
RAM: 1.00GB of RAM
Processor (+ speed): Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz 3.39GHz
Free Hard Drive space: 87.5 GB
Hard Drive capacity: 149 GB

Dell is the manufacturer and its a DIMENSION 8400

The computer seems perfectly capable of RUNNING the game.

You MENTIONED this happened with other games too? What games?

Also, when did this all happen?The same thing happened with Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and Knights of the old Republic 2. I have Call of Duty 4, and Medieval 2 Total War which both run perfect. I downloaded the Demo for Empire Total War two days ago on the 20th, and as soon as I downloaded it I got the problem, never got past the menu. Same for the other games that never worked which I downloaded over a year ago.I'm actually not so sure what's wrong. This problem sounds exactly the same as what my friend has, and I haven't been able to solve it.

Are there any error messages at all?There is no error message.

I was wondering if my graphics card has anything to do with it. I have a ATI RADEON X300/X550/X1050 Series card. Quote from: classicgk37 on February 22, 2009, 08:40:11 AM

Those cards might just not cut it.

M2TW might run fine, but a newer Total War game...hmm.

i know my friend runs MTW on a x600 with lagg when facing massive armies.

The game locked up and wouldn't open. I un-installed the game and ASKED their tech. support for help. They said to remove the game and also told me to go to (regedit) then to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER and delete the "Rise of Atlantis" file and also to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and do the same thing. I did all that. I tried downloading the same game from other sites IWIN, etc. with the same results. The game downloads and the installation Wizard INSTALLS the game. When I click on the ICON the hour glass appears and then dissappears. The game doesn't open. I have 5 or 6 other paid Gamehouse games that run fine, I bought the "Rise of Atlantis" CD on Amazon. It came today. I installed the game successfully but it does the same thing. I click to "Play Now" and the game never opens. I have Windows XP Home edition, plenty of spare on my hard drive, DirectX 9 with upgrades, All drivers are up to date. Like I said all other games run and open and play fine. It's like there is some file on my computer blocking the game from opening. I don't get a security warning from my security software. Does anyone have any idea on what I can check?

I called J&R and asked for a replacement. I just received the replacement and it is doing the same thing. I had contacted Oberon with the first CD problem on line and found a phone number. I never received a call back. I had to clarify that I did not download the game from them, but it is their product. I received several emails and the last one is asking me to download the game from them. I have not responded as yet. Like you, I believe I will be charged for the download. I have two CD of Rise of Atlantis which are not working. I may attempt to reach Oberon again stating I found this site and if you look, this problem had 333 hits before me.
