Morgoth Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 You gotta be kidding me :angry: OS: Windows XP (with service pack 2) I went and checked the system reqs one last time before I tried to order this... This game requires sp2 /sigh... and it looked so good too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dreamfall runs well without SP2 too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whew Thanks Ok, I'll put it back on the list I was so irked at the idea I ordered something else instead <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just don't get confused when they now have to put that "Sp2 required" nonsense on every box. So now, go get enjoy Dreamfall, that's an order, honey! Rain makes everything better.
Kaftan Barlast Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Why would it be a problem is SP2 was required? Its a free update According to GAME it's not released in the UK till May 12th. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's correct. It seems April 24th was an old estimate. Theyve changed the Swedish release from the 28th to May 5th aswell.

Darque Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Why would it be a problem is SP2 was required? Its a free update <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because it's crap.
Dark_Raven Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 SP2 makes some older games unplayable from what I heard. I only have SP1 installed. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Hurlshort Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 SP2 is way more stable then it was when it first came out. I'd give it a try now that they've worked all the bugs out. It really is a good improvement over SP1. I also would like to hear what game syou can't play, since I haven't had any problems with JA2 and even Xcom.
mkreku Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Freedom Force stopped working for me. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Kitch Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) I just finished up the game. Kind of funny that there are more questions coming out than when going in, but that's expected. Overall, I'm satisfied, but it is definitely hard to say that this game is able to stand strong on its own. Maybe I'm still overwhelmed with nolstalgia from TLJ. Edited April 26, 2006 by Kitch
Hurlshort Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Freedom Force stopped working for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Huh, I was so curious about this I was actually going to install the game. But, surprise, you need a CD Key that was inconviently placed on a jewel CD case. What a pain, I've got the CD and the packaging, but I have no clue where the jewel case is. Ah well.
mkreku Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Uh.. I'm not very fast, but it seems Irrational fixed this problem.. half a year ago! http://www.freedomfans.com/news.php?id=37 Although I only seem to be able to find patch 1.3 Beta.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

CoM_Solaufein Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Well that is good to hear. I would hate to download the SP2 pack, it is huge and would take forever to download, and have my games quit working because of it.

Hassat Hunter Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 I've played all IE and C&C games (apart from Generals) under SP2 without any problems. Could you explain how you got Red Alert working then? ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

N'Al Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Could you explain how you got Red Alert working then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I've got the First Decade Pack so things might be slightly different. But I've heard that all FD does with Red Alert (and C&C95) is enable Win95 compatability mode (just like you could do manually) for them to work under XP. As I said, they run flawlessly for me. I also installed the 1.01 patch, so I didn't even get the dreaded "Soviet Videos don't play" bug.
Hurlshort Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Again, SP2 was a pain when it was first released, but it's been over a year now. The bugs are pretty well worked out, and honestly the home network stuff is just a million times better than SP1. I'd still cross my fingers when you install it though ;-)
Dark_Raven Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 I'd still cross my fingers when you install it though ;-) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My confidence in this has sunk down lower by this statement. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
WITHTEETH Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Enough about SP2 and even 1! Is the game good, or not good for an ADVENTURE game? Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig
Kitch Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Enough about SP2 and even 1! Is the game good, or not good for an ADVENTURE game? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it would be hard to not like it if you've played the first.
WITHTEETH Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) I loved the first one. I wish i could get Dreamfall sooner, but im stuck paying bills for now. Edited April 26, 2006 by WITHTEETH Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig
Draikin Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 I guess the people who refuse to download SP2 for mysterious reasons are the same who disable windows update and blame Microsoft when there's a security problem on their computer. I captured a little video of Dreamfall (xvid): http://omoikane.minstrum.net/dream.avi Is the game good, or not good for an ADVENTURE game? I think that's the best review for adventure gamers: http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,626/
WITHTEETH Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Another unfinished game... sigh. VtM:bloodlines, KoTOR2 why do the great games have to be unfinished? Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig
Kaftan Barlast Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Another unfinished game... sigh. VtM:bloodlines, KoTOR2 why do the great games have to be unfinished? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Usually because Devs are not given enough time and money to finish them properly. Also, on tying all the threads together- traditionally devs have always focused on the main/middle part of the game while not spending as much effort on the intro or the ending. In storydriven genres lie adventure games or CRPG's thats really an insane way to do things because nobody likes an anticlimax.

Musopticon? Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 No problems with Fallout 2 either. I don't know about Fallout 1, never owned a copy. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
