Empire Total War
How do I get this to work?
I upload it and play it but the graphic settings have to be so low the game looks crap. The loading screens take 10 minutes or more and the game itself is terribly laggy. I can't play it basically. How do I get it to work?

Upgrade your computer.
Or at least your graphics card.

more RAM is the cheapest option to try
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
Code: Select all
// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis
$str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);

You can usually run things without only 75% of the minimum recommended RAM, it's the graphics cards which are a bitch.Ghatanothoa wrote:more RAM is the cheapest option to try
Using only 880mb out of 1gb on my graphics card, GTAIV runs like a bitch whore on my computer.

Re: Empire Total War
Yep, it's a quite resource hungry game.
How much Main Memory and Video Card memory do you have?
Do you have all the latest video card drivers?
Is there anything else running that doesn't need to? (look in the system tray)
Is the Hard Drive low on space?
All potential game killers.

Re: Empire Total War
I have 4Gb main memory and 2x 1Gb GTX 280s and a solid state hard drive. So far, no game I cannot run on max gfx.

Re: Empire Total War
I don't know how I'd find any of this stuff, and I haven't got a fucking clue what 'Ram' is. My processor is Intel Pentium D CPU 2 and my graphics card is Geforce 7300 SE

Right click on "My computer" and select "properties" on the "general" tab you'll see how much main memory you have (RAM = Random Access Memory, meaning it discharges when the power is off.)
If it's 256Mb-512Mb then it's WAY too low and you need to find out what sort it is. (Opening the box and looking for a 5" strip of chips, which will have a label on it reading something like DDR - PC 2100 or DDR2 PC2700 etc.) Then bang that into e-bay and see how much 2Gb of that memory would cost.
10 Fuck Off

Re: Empire Total War
Thanks Born again 
It says that I can run it, and I don't deny that. But it only will run on a minimalistic level, and in my experience that is no better than not being able to play it at all. Especially when it crashes and fucks up my computer. How would I get it functioning to a 'fast' level? x x x ly babe luls

I've began to download it again and I've just realised why I promised never to do it again: it takes 24 hours on my computer.
