Your points are good ones, but I also think it's not that useful when the moderators' first response is "Well, I'm not getting any CTDs and my radar works."
I have NO mods installed. I installed 1.2 over 1.1, as the devs' notes indicated I should. I have a vanilla Dell with a supported video card, 2 gigs of RAM. I've defragged. I have no other software running. I have March 2007 video drivers.
Yet my SD radar will not operate. I get framerate crashes in the middle of patrols and floating mouse cursors. I get fog inside Control if fog is on. Etc.
Some of the problems people are reporting ARE due to mods, and to misunderstanding game operation, and to poorly maintained PCs. But there ARE also problems with the game. It seems more sensitive to individual rigs than any game I've seen in the XP-era.
Telling someone who is frustrated and looking for help that you personally don't have the problem isn't helpful.
That said, I too have zero patience with somebody coming here looking for help who is playing a cracked game. |
I believe John was just attempting to say that putting up a rant without any further info to help does no good for anyone.
Sure, some mods are causing CTD but some of these poster with CTD fail to mention the mods or did not clean out the mods or have some wayward file of mod hanging about. Remember how finicky SH3 was when attempting a reinstall? That old folder in MY DOCUMENTS that was never deleted cause many to start drinking.
Some rigs are sensative to this game, no doubt, Stabiz is having issues. If there was anyone I want to have this game running great, Stabiz is the one. But, Stabiz is looking at his rig because he know others with the same rig are running the game fine. He has not posted a rant. He has laid his cards on the table and is asking for help. I hope he finds it.
I'm with you on the crack.
