>>RosS<< Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 i run it on a p4 2.8ghz 512mb laptop with a radeon 9000 mobility card and i don't have any major problems. So it agree's with your laptop as far as keyboard commands are concerned?Being a laptop user i find nothing more annoying than games giving me a big hassle for not having a proper numpad, or other laptop-ish things...Darn you final fantasy 7...CheersRoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historicrocker Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Anyone else going to be playing World of Warcraft when it hits the shop today? If so theres a large contingent of Aberdonians already playing in a group as soon as we make the 8am exodus to Game. I've been keeping an eye on the servers since they opened at midnight and narrowed it down to a few candidates...Will keep looking up until the time I get back with a nice shiny copy but at the moment the server Emerald Dream is looking favourite' date=' with Azjol-Nerub in second.Anyway if anyone wants to join us give me a shout, and goodbye to you all, Aberdeen shall not see me walk its grey streets for the next six weeks...[/geek']You'll never get better than Warcraft 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked for that everywhere! I actually had a copy once the but my 200MHz Pentium couldn't hack it. Damn, I need a copy so much.

framheim Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 it costs 29.99 to buy from game just now and you need to pay a monthly subscription fee to play it after your first month. the actual cost to your relationships and career/uni or college course is impossible to ascertain. it will consume you.

AbernackyFuckHead Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 No I wasn't playing the beta I live in the US it came out ages ago here. It's story line is the worst also...I say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbernackyFuckHead Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 How? Or were you in the beta with us? I dunno' date=' played both and I prefer WoW, but then we're very pro-Blizzard products. Yeah some people say the graphics are kinda cartoony and lame, but to be honest it means the game runs better. Breathtaking graphics are for single player first person shooters, MMORPG should be less taxing on the system as there enough to slow it down as it is.Persides, my first gryphon flight was the closest I've had to sex this week...[/quote']Yeah so what if I die falling off the dock in the Harbour in EQ2 just from lag...I still think the game is far more better. Plus I chill in Antonica where the lag is next to nothing. The lag is only bad in the towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historicrocker Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Make sure you have the most up-to-date DirectX. It's becoming quite essential in newer games. Yeah, sometimes you might need to uninstall the graphics drivers supplied by Windows and download them or get them from a disk (if you have one). OpenGL happens to be a bitch for me for some completely unknown reason.Of course, there's always the possibility that your computer is just crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 It's getting halfway through installing disc 3 (why couldn't they put it on a dvd?) and then bailing with the following error:The file "D:\Installer Tome 3.mpq" could not be opened, because an error -2062548861 occurred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historicrocker Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Try using the other (do you have another?) cd drive. It might be that it can't install on one particular drive. I get that a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 well that sucks. seems strange that my RAM might cause a problem with one program but has never caused problems with anything else.I've found a good post from blizzard's tech support on the european site with some tips to try and get around the problem. Now to open a beer or two and work through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Success! Copied the installation files to my hard drive and it worked. Which is a little funny but ah well, glad it wasn't a memory problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
