3rd patch announcement: do you think this is serious???

[Q Classic]

it appears that bhg's game may have suffered from marketing incorrectly listing the minimum system requirements.

how many users who can't run it have a dx9 compatible card?
how many users have a video card that has more than 16mb video ram? perhaps having a minimum of 32mb of video ram is better?

then other things seem to be less than stellar programming-- creative and sound blaster are industry standards. even if the drivers are old, it oughtn't lead to such a dramatic slowdown.

ah, well.

what makes me really mad, are the Hardware specs, on the cover, sounded great for a laptop game, that does not need a fancy GPU, well here i am €50 poorer, and searching in my law book for the definition of fraud...

[Skanky Burns]

Specs have nothing to do with it. Some people have only the bare requirements to play it and it still runs, albeit slowly. Others, such as myself, have way over the recommended specs - yet the game continually crashes the system.

While the game is fun, that fact is useless to me if I can't even play for more than 15 seconds (literally) at a time.

I run it on my laptop (1.2 GHz pentium 3 mobility, crappy ATI radeon m6 mobility) and it runs well (start around 20 fps, final huge battles around 7 fps, slow but still playable).

ron runs fine on my pc with the exception of a few corrupt save games. only problem is the slow frame rate but then it is most probably due to my very old 500mhz PIII more than anything else

hi,

my personal opinion is... it's your graphics cards. the game works great on my NVIDA video card. my friend does not have an NVIDA video card and the game gives him trouble sometimes.

that is one reason why i got an NVIDA video card... most games are build with them in mind.

No dutcheese, i have a creative GF4 ti4400 with 128mb and the new drivers 44.03!!!!

I haven't problem with other game...so is RON the problem.

It has nothing to do with ATI, i have a Radeon 9700 and it works great. Never had a problem.

same for me... works like a charm

[Eyradir]

I have the same ****ty problems (see my topic)!
Damn, I really hope that BHG will come with a patch which fixes these problems soon! It's really starting to get on my nerves!

UPDATE: I changed soundcard drivers and it didn't help a thing!!

[Skanky Burns]

I changed soundcards and it still didn't help.
The problem is definately RoN's, and the problem (at least in my and a few other peoples case) is occurs with those who have a GeForce 4.

I have a GeForce 4 ... that makes sense. Doh! BHG, hurry up PLEASE!

[Nacht]

I have a GeForce 4 ti4600, runs perfectly.

[Skanky Burns]

What is your full system stats Nacht?

For comparison, I have:
CPU: Athlon 1GHz
Memory: 512Mb
Mobo: Asus A7V kt133
Sound: Soundblaster Live
Graphics: GeForce 4 Ti 4600
Driver: 40.72 (ms signed)

and it keeps crashing.
