Beastage Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) LOC I got Athlon XP @ 2ghz 1.25gb of RAM Radeon 9600XT FEAR demo worked fine back then.

LOC Veteran Posted August 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 18, 2006 LOC I got Athlon XP @ 2ghz 1.25gb of RAM Radeon 9600XT FEAR demo worked fine back then. The game doesn't even attempt to launch, it gives needed to be closed msg 1 second after I click the icon. Tried changing drivers and stuff... nada Hmmm, I don't know what to tell you then. You certainly can run the game, of course you won't be on max, but that isn't a problem. Hmmm, have you tried any tweaked driver? Also not just for you, but for others having the "can't start" issue, have you disabled Alcohol 120 or Dameon Tools by any chance? (If you have it installed of course) The virtual drives may be causing issues. Also, are any of you running any kind of refresh rate forcing app or reg hack? Mioght want to disable that as well. I can't think of anything else offhand :| Is multi-player all about killing other players? What is fun part of the game? Yes, multiplayer is usually about killing other players. But in FEAR (and other games) there are other gametypes that don't specifically involve killing others, though that's what always happens. Anyone else noticed the status text size takes up most of the screen now? :/ Yes, it's a bug. I'm sure it will be fixed soon, or you can fix it yourself once we find out how :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/487476-fear-combat-today/page/5/#findComment-587798593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastage Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I know for a fact that some people can run it with tools like daemon tools I killed all none essential services via task manager and now I don't get an error.. I get nothing at all, doesn't work of course, double clicking the icon and nothing happens yet other games work fine this way as well.

Pharos Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nice game, although there's no 1280x1024 resolution to choose from in the options.

Trong Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 For those of you who are getting errors on launch, or the game won't start up, we need more information than "it won't start up" :) List your PC specs, what drivers you are using, etc. My specs are in my sig. I'm running on ForceWare 91.31 and this is the error.

Marduk Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I played the demo and borrowed a friend's full version back when it first came out and it was VERY smooth and now that I play this combat crap its slow as cold molasses even with the settings turned down, heres a tip too don't use the BUSTED automatic settings thing it'll set all the gfx options way too high. Also when I go to start it up I always get this BS message about my system time is wrong and needs to be athuenticated??? WTF! BULLS**T!

Sheppard Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Why is it a pile of crap? They are still selling the full retail game, the multiplayer still requires punkbuster and auth servers, and it is their right to protect their game with protection. Or because it's free, that makes it not ok? :| No i mean the stupid restrictive SecuROM copy protection, i like my virtual drives it means i can make images of my games and just select the image i want to mount rather than having to swap and change my cds. Its a damn FREE mp game, why on earth they feel the need to protect it up to the eyeballs so it restricts people from playing it i dont know.
