haha looking at those specs and the subpar war graphics the man could run a couple applications of the game at the same time. btw did mythic change their engine from 4 years ago when they started the game>? |

Pretty sure the problem is Vista + 2GB RAM. You really should have 4. Also I believe that WAR has known issues with certain Vista + NVIDIA card combos. |

Vista and 2gb ram is not good at all. You will have trouble running most decent games memory wise. |

Dam 3 weeks???????
I CANT WAIT.
I love this game. Im still buying my CE and nothing has even wavered me. Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time. If the Powerball lottery was like Lotro, nobody would win for 2 years, and then everyone in Nebraska would win on the same day. AMD 4800 2.4ghz-3GB RAM 533mhz-EVGA 9500GT 512mb-320gb HD |

I'll be playing it in 3 weeks, I'm already pissed I can't play it now ;x CTD hopefully will be fixed but its more of an annoyance than gamebreaker. |

No we are not diss-ing that spec. We are pointing out that Vista eats up memory hungrily, and 2GB is hardly effective. My engineers at work tells me that VIsta 64 really is built for 4GB minimum. Given the extremely low price of RAM now upgrading or even replacing all the RAM sticks are not going to cost an arm and a leg. |

Thats what they said about AoC lmao, obviously that wasn't true.
The internal server is roughly 2 weeks ahead actually, according to someone who was swiftly told to shut up because he wasn't allowed to say that ^^

First up... yeah its amazing how people forget how unstable WoW was at release. Bugs and CTD galore.
But after playing 6 hours on the weekend (I know, not alot, but all i had time to play), I only crashed once. I liked it, yes some of the NPC pathing was out, and I didn't play a pet class (hate pets :P).
But overall this game IS READY for release. Cant understand people thinking it isn't.

Yea. I may have some issues with this game, but bugs and not being ready for realease are not included in those issues. I played almost all weekend and only ran into a couple minor bugs, had excellent frame rate at all times. They could probably release tomorrow and the vast majority of people would be happy with the product as is(provided the known issues are fixed in a timely fashion). |

as a beta tester my experience is that, Most off the major patches in beta where Mythic put in alot of new stuff, meant that bugs (new or reintroduced) did appear. Sometimes making the game very unstable and leading to Server crashes or CTD. BUT everytime Mythic had been able to fix it in very short time. So when last patch 2 weeks ago did make the game unstable and made alot off people CTD , why shouldn't it be buisness as usuall. I have no reason to think that Mythic is not able to address the issues OP mention before launch. |

You do realize Windows Vista takes up 1.8 gb or so of RAM right? You should be at the minimum have 3gb of RAM if you want to run Vista. Bug crushing is taking place within the next week and 6 days before Open Beta, and then they have another 11 days during that period to fix bugs. Its going to work out marvelously.
I was gonna say the same thing. Dude you need to dedicate 2gig of ram to 64 alone!
GO buy more ram and quit being a PC noob. |

Or set up a Readyboost flash drive to bolster your RAM. Not as good as adding actual RAM, of course but a lot better than constant paging. |

Not really. All the problems that have been mentioned are easily fixable in the next few weeks. There is no need for a "Miracle" just a normal patch. And since some of the CTD problems have been tracked for weeks previously it quite likely they can track many of them down by release.
the equivocations of "supposed to be unfinished" are of course crap like they always have been. But people saying they can be fixed by release are not being unreasonable.
And Mythic has shown a good track record of tracking things down a progressively fixing it.
Unlike AoC which truly did need a miracle patch and breaks as many things as they fix in thier patches and therefore clearly have rather bad process management. |
