LFCfan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The problem may have been the graphics card, if it is an integrated Intel one. The other issue could be that you need to reinstall directx. There are a couple of other issues that were highlighted that you might stumble upon if you do a search with the error message that may have come up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I want the patch available at the same time the authentication servers come online... otherwise i'm not gonna have a good Friday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranson52 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I want the patch available at the same time the authentication servers come online... otherwise i'm not gonna have a good Friday Oh gee, my heart bleeds for you. Some of us live a long way away and have ordered the full game to be delivered. I don't expect to even see the game before the end of next week.

digsy11 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 In what way doesn't it work?. Do you get any error messages? The patch should fix any problems you have. I have to run in window mode as it keeps freezing in the default setting.Still get a black screen from time to time and it seems to run a little slow for a quad core 4GB ram PC, other than that it runs ok.

There are a couple of other issues that were highlighted that you might stumble upon if you do a search with the error message that may have come up Was that directed at me? I'll anwer it anyway I've installed all relevant drivers, no error message appears just random freezing though this has not happened since I've been running in window mode. The graphics card is fine as I took it out my old PC (which had no trouble running the demo) and installed it in this one which I brought last Thursday. I think the issues I'm suffering are to do with Threading altough I have no idea what Threading actually does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you've updated your graphics card drivers? If not then do so, reboot and try again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonfun1980 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Adam just read the manuel and look at the box. Atleast you got it for free. Its bad for the people who have paid cash for the game and cannot play it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Dean Gripton Posted November 11, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted November 11, 2008 I wouldn't say that Adam got his copy for free, knowing the time he has spent on the Barrow data this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate everything that needs updating is updated,it's not a graphics card issue it seems to be something to do with the threading, do you know what the threading does btw as I've no idea.

trekman Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 As far as I know you will be able to authenticate at midnight on Friday. You will not have to wait until 9am. If the game is officially released on Friday dont you mean that you can authenticate at midnight on Thursday? Its seems odd to me that you purchase the game on Friday morning then have to wait until midnight to authenticate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
