What does the box say?

[Daniel123]

I bought my copy of CIV IV on Direct2Drive. They say NOTHING about T&L on their requirements page for CIV IV. What does the box say?

I'm usually low whine, but this is really frustrating me. If D2D had put T&L required on the page, I wouldn't have bought the game. I'm not going to go buy a new box to play it and I just want my $ back at this point.

Can someone look at the box and tell me what it says? I just want to know so I can squeeze D2D for my $. If the box says T&L required and D2D didn't put it in, then it's their fault. If the box doesn't say it, then Firaxis made the error and it's their fault.

btw, no, I'm not a raging screamer like some here, I just want my $ back. I'm sure Firaxis tried hard to put out a product that would work for as many as possible. No harm, no foul. At least not once my $50 is back.

Thanks!

From the back of the box:

Minimum System Rquirements: ...64MB Video Card with Hardware T&L.

Thanks Wittlich!

So Direct2Drive dropped the ball.

Bummer... No CIV for me.

Thanks again for checking for me.

I run it on a GeForce2 Go 32mb with minimal problems.

Bought it in the UK and didn't realise it required a DVD drive. The only PC I had with a DVD drive had an onboard graphics card without T&L, so I can run the game but dont see the terrain. I've had to resort to buying a new DVD drive for my good PC.

I'm pretty pissed as none of this was made clear when I ordered. I think there will be a lot of returns from people who just don't understand the issues, try to play and find it doesn't work and take it back.

We need a bit of competition to Civ to keep them on their toes. They seem to be relaxing a bit too much for my liking.
