Any review/impression of the demo?

Kinda hard for SP when the game doesn't work on his box

It works for me. It's Kreegle that can't get it to run.

As for a review, I didn't care much for it. It runs rather choppy on my 1GHz Athlon, 256MB, Radeon AiW machine - and I'm far over the minimum specs here.

One of the id software guys said it was choppy on his 2.2GHz machine with a gig of RAM, and a GeForce 4, so it may be certain configs it doesn't like.

Like not working properly on both major processors and video cards? Maybe if you run it on a Cyrix with a Matrox card...

Ok I downloaded the demo

I liked it. Very open ended and challenging. Hope they add something to pause time and give out orders or something.

I'm going to buy it anyway.

I'd much rather have turn based, frankly. Games like this pretty much scream for TB.

Yeah

Vechile combat would be kinda weird though.

If they had tb and real time options it would be better

It would fuck the TB system, like it did in Arcanum.

The Patch of SOA did nothing. I get ERROR in SOA.exe still.

My computer seems to have to be connected to the internet to start-up

Try that.

Kreegle has a constant connection to the internet and he was crashing on start up. He hasn't tried the patch though.

Does he have directX 8.1?

Kreegle · Post by **Kreegle** » Mon Sep 02, 2002 2:07 am

Direct X 8.1 (4.08.01.0881)

Nope, still not working. The patch doesn't fix anything.

Did you try and ask Tusk?

I wonder if he'll reply...
