I couldnt install the game in m y pc, that simpleconfig is just rubbish and dont fix anything, i receive the rbddata incorrect errors, the patcher crashes, impossible.
Cancel my subscription, i wont pay anything else with this "game". No enjoy, just hours and hours wasted to try it to work. Even formatted my pc but nothing works.

What are your PC Specs?

Did you download the game or run from install DVD's?

When did you try to patch it, as servers were down for update just recently.

I use to want my money back too but getting to watch Failcom squirm and the Fanbois attempt to make things better is worth it. Its sad that the forums are way better than the game.

hehe that is funny !

In a way I want to see the game turn around and make a good job of it, purely for the people who enjoy the game. They deserve a game in a playable state.

But on the other hand I want the game to fail....again purely as an example to any other dev never to submit such an unfinished bugged game to the paying public ever again.  People will say every mmo is like that at release...But AoC has set a new benchmark for that and has the biggest backlash of forums in mmo history.

Even if it does morph into a playable game as intended pre launch (impossible), I would never give my hard earned cash to Funcom in any other game.

Then get more specific with your hardware. Also, everyone knows that min specs are mostly a joke, its just means the game will execute, not run well/be great looking.

Your computer does not even meet the minimum specs required for the game. And yet, you bought it.

You do not meet the bare minimum specs for this game. No two ways about it, sorry.

but the point that has already been made is, your pc specs are even far below the min required. your useing a probaly 5 year old video card that right there could make the game crash from the start.

You should have visited ANY forum concerning AoC before buying the game; it really would have saved you some headaches and monies.

In Addition, MrBloodworth is right on this particular issue. You don't even meet the minimum requirements. You're lucky you even got it running.  Moral of the story: Read minimum specs before buying and treat the "minimum specs seriously."

There is a reason why thay label it as "minimum specs."

i made the game work in anotheer pc with worse specs, as i said ;) Actually its almost a copy of mine, cause i made it for my sister, the pc where it worked its p4 2.8ghz ati 9600 ati 1gb ram So, a bit worse than mine And just someone with no idea about hardware or working for Funcom could say i dont get the min specs for a 2.8ghz instead a 3.ghz. Its actually really funny someone saying that the install fails cause the min specs

you know.... for a fan of AoC.. I noticed that you havent (according to your Xfire sig) logged in to AoC at all in the last 7 days....

 

very interesting...

 

OP.... AoC is having HUGE problems with their hardware coding... (regardless of what the fanbois say).

Personally I dont think it is worth playing, but others (at least a few) would disagree with me. But, u are correct... .2 GHZ will NOT affect the instalation of the game in even a remote sense.

you best bet (still a very poor one though) is to post on the AoC main forums in the tech support section.

Personally... I look forward to seeing you all (minus two...take a guess who) in WAR in a couple weeks.

Just take the game back and buy it at a later date when it's cheaper and the code is more stable.  Why go through all this trouble for a game that isn't ready to be live?

Just try it again in 6 months, if it is still around.

The days i could play it on my holidays in the pc of my sister i liked much the game if you ignore some serious bugs about class disbalance ( i say bugs cause its not just disbalance, there are certain bugs that make some classes unkillable )

I will probably try it again some day now i have the game but if i knew how it was i would have never bought it.

My complain is about installation mainly.

It is really a pity, good game but still beta, that is true, i didnt believe it until i tried the game.

Anf ofc i know there will be much more things to complain cause i just played about 10 days.

I must admit.  I would still drop cash on a funcom game.  but it would have to be a 2+ year old game with an expansion.  It seems Funcom has no clue how to launch a clean game.
