Some help with the PC Version...

[Atoki Atanyä]

Kaltxi ma smukan,

I just purchased the PC version of the game, and after installing it on my PC have discovered it will not work. My sound is set to under 48000kHz, so that is not the issue.

When i try to load the first level, the loading screen appears and the loading disc thing begins to glow/rotate. HOWEVER, it then freezes, and when i go to Windows Task Manager it tells me that the game is not responding.

Has this happened to anyone else? How did you solve it?

PS: I have tried running it as both Admin and in compatibility mode. I am running Windows Vista.

Txan irayo for any help.

try finding a way to turn your graphics setting down maybe.. I run an old machine and it runs fine on medium setting..

If it crashes where you stated.. it usually means that your computer cant run something with graphics.

it may be your graphics card. if its outdated its not going to load the game properly. Try what ma Kxanìa Na'rìng said.

Computer....


Time to update my graphics card. It's odd, i can get to the main menu and adjust my settings, just not play. I would assume that the installer would at least check you have the minimum requirements to run. Then again: Kinda my job too

Oh well, I've needed a new graphics card for a while.

Txan irayo ma smukan,

yea, i need a new one to run the game too, and my computer is only 2 years old. it can barley load the menu screen

I would check to make sure you have at least the minimum system requirements to run the game. Though i would be a bit more comfortable with the recommended requirements. My computer can't handle the game, yet i have the recommended requirements. Beginning to think it's either a device conflict or a bad install. I'm gonna do some clean-up work on the system tomorrow after work and then do a clean uninstall, a fresh re-install and give it another go.

Whether or not you are using a card that can run Shader 3.0 is very important. It is usually what can kill a game before anything else.
My PC is around 6 years going on 7 years old, but I made sure it had an, *shudder*, AGP graphics card that had Shader 3.0 support.. I need a new PC.

Thing is, my videocard doesn't state whether it can run Shader 3.0 or not. the card is a year old, an Invidia geforce chipset.

Not willing to buy an entire new videocard just for a game. Though i will admit i've done that before. ^.^

[Kxanìa Na'rìng]

done it too.. I got this card for EVE online... was worth it... but now I need a new computer.. oi.. this one is getting way too old for what I do.

You probably shouldn't be asking this here. You're treading on very dangerous territory with the Ban Ikran. (No joke here). There's no legit way to reset/recover the CD key other than digging through the computer's registry (dicey at best) or using the ultra illegal method of cracking or pirating. The CD key is usually on the cover of the CD case that the game came in. Try looking for the case. If the cd's came in paper sleeves instead of cases, then you may be out of luck. Try contacting the game's customer service or tech support for a solution.

You should try contacting the games tech support or something. The mere fact that you're stating to illegally obtain the game will likely get you banned from the forums. If you have all the documentation that came with the game, one of those pieces of paper should have the CD-key somewhere. Even check the game's manual, because some games write the code on the manual somewhere, usually on the back cover or inside the front cover.

try looking inside the disk case. i know in some of the games i play its underneath the plastic tray where the disk sits. if not call costumer service. if you can provide proof that you bought the came and you give them the game serial number they can give it to you. if they cant help then just play it at your friends house or buy it. don't use illegal programs
