Morgoth Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Luckily enough I only played TW after the 1.2 patch which means I didn't run into these savegame issues. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I ended up with a gig of DX saves. While I overdid it, I guess the way they did the saves just made it worse.

Orogun01 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I think it was the first game's quicksave feature that didn't distinguish between quicksaves and regular saves and used a new slot every time? Swamped my SSD full of hundreds of saved games. Oh dear God, now you're making me relive that and I also had the Tages crashing with the video card every hour or so. The horror. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Considering TW1's penchant for crashing, it's for the better that saves aren't automatically overwritten. If the game crashes while saving, you'd lose the savegame and all your progress. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game crashes while saving, you'd lose the savegame and all your progress. ? Two full playthroughs and I can't remember a single crash. It might have crashed couple times, but if it did, it was so rare I really don't remember it. Then again, I played it only when it was already gotten the last patch, so I don't know how it was before. Or was I just lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassat Hunter Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Probably. I've had it crash several times with 1.5 (never had lower, got EE version some time ago) ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Malcador Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Only got one crash, so to speak, black screen when entering a crypt at the end of the game. Why has elegance found so little following?

Slowtrain Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 It crashed occaisionally for me, both the regular and EE. Not nearly so much as other games such as Fallout 3 though. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Blodhemn Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 My saved games directory for TW1 was 12 GB I **** you not. After I suffered some early crashes I got into the habbit of quicksaving every other minute it seems. The only reason that I noticed the large save game folder was that I was trying to figure out why it took 4 minutes to load the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmp10 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Apparently the game will support only 16:9 aspect ratio. Other resolutions will get black bars. Anyone else find it hilarious that after all the emphasis CDP placed on graphics and supporting the PC platform they messed up something so simple?

SadExchange Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I currently have this preordered at gamestop for a physical copy, but am highly thinking to cancel that and go with a preorder through gog themselves. What is everyone else doing for this release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I preordered on gog months ago. There is no good reason to get TW2 any other way unless you have some kind of special arrangement. It seems you can predownload a week early, you get a free GOG game and other stuff, and most importantly, no DRM. Non-GOG versions feature securom - a very light version (one-time online identification), but still.

Then just dl the small remaining bits on the 11th. And their no DRM policy is awesome.

Nepenthe Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 People still sue 4:3 monitors these days? Hopefully not. I assume there are a lot more 16:10s around, in fact I'd assume that most of the high-end screens are. I use mostly just stripped down samsung lcd tvs as displays, so I tend to peak out at 16:9 1920x1080, so can't say for sure. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Hassat Hunter Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 *only now notices he typo'd use as sue* Yeah, got 1920x1080 too (although a real PC monitor).

Some people are even still using old CRT's and I don't understand what the problem is with that. It's not like it is slowing the game industry down or anything.

Lexx Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I don't have a widescreen monitor because I fear that the screen width on older games could become ****ed up / stretched and I play more old games than new games anyway.
