jasontiller Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Yo, All, Dang! I played for about 3.5 hours yesterday and had seven (yes, 7!) game crashes. SEVEN! Four of them were lockups and 3 were CTDs. The lockups required complete reboots. Also, for five or six startups of the game, it mysteriously tried to run itself in windowed mode, not full screen! The stupid thing would wipe the monitor to change resolutions and then change back to my desktop and bring up the game in a window with the size I had requested (1024x768 - I run my desktop at 1280x1024). Stupid! Then I'd have to change the game's refresh rate, at which point it would "wake up" and change to full screen. On the last couple of restarts the game miraculously fixed itself. Don't ask me why - I didn't do anything! You've got to be kidding! I never thought I'd play a game buggier than Gothic II, but TSL is taking the award for the least stable software I've ever seen. Turns out that little caveat in the README isn't so little after all. I mean, gee, who stays on one level for 30 minutes?? That obviously won't be a big problem. I guess we know what the Obsidian devs have been doing 24/7 since the game "passed" QA - hacking out the first patch. I sure hope they're hacking out a patch... Sheesh. TSL is bad as a 1.0 Micro$oft release. You'd think a sequel that didn't change much would have fewer bugs than the initial release of the original game. Too much to ask, I guess. Very disappointing. ---Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
