Post by: Smooth Groove on October 31, 2007, 12:23:46 AM: Do you have a different optical drive that you can try? Sometimes that helps with dysfunctional authentication.
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on October 31, 2007, 12:25:36 AM: nope just the one. might be why it took so long to install, too.
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on October 31, 2007, 04:23:26 AM: oh my god do NOT buy this game

after some back and forth with SecuROM tech support, got a new executable from them that would actually load. here's what happened:

Try 1: Executable fails, demands I install a Vista hotfix related to graphics virtual memory paging
Try 2-5: Game loads, logos play, title screen, okay! Game crashes once I click "single-player." I spent a while trying to find video settings that would work.
Try 6: Success! I find the create a character screen and type in my character name, as it's at the top of the sheet and mouse focus starts there. Oops, I created a character.
Try 6.5: I back out, delete the accidental character, create a new one. My mouse sensitivity is totally fucked and about 50% of what it should be.
Try 7: Success! I am in the game! I am killing zombies! The chatty tutorial is annoying. It's hard to read item names on the ground cause they use weird font scaling. Hmm, I don't remember London streets being this...corridory. I got armor with some stats on it! Yay stats!

I port to the second area and the game crashes.

THE END.

Post by: TVC15 on October 31, 2007, 04:26:42 AM: It's funny, those crash bugs between zones have been in the game since I started playing it months and months ago. I filed many bug reports, but I guess shipping without frequent crash bugs wasn't a priority for Flagship! BU BU BU DIABLO 2 TEAM!!!
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: demi on October 31, 2007, 04:36:07 AM: Flagship more like Sunkenship am i rite

Better ping these guys when they pull a Sigil Online
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on October 31, 2007, 04:38:54 AM: Flagship more like Pinkslip
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: demi on October 31, 2007, 04:40:15 AM: That's good, I like that, but that means they got fired when their game just sucked and they failed
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on October 31, 2007, 04:44:32 AM: Yeah, the talent doesn't suck, Flagship just lacks discipline. In an environment with good leadership and quality assurance they could kick some ass!
Title: Re: Should I install Hellgate: London?
Post by: demi on October 31, 2007, 04:46:14 AM: Since I hadn't voted yet until you posted impressions, I told you to poop on it because it would be funny
