Wow...15 pages huh? lol ok
Been gone for a while, Played through IT and got almost through Epic before I took my break.
The rubber-banding issue "barely" effected me on my system. And plays actually very well on my step son's comp (right next to me) providing ALL 3rd party software (virus protection and such) are turned off during play. He's in Legendary and loving it btw
Surprised by some of the posts I've seen throughout this thread. But then again...not that much I guess. People will be people, with different perspectives and expectations across the board of life in general...and "especially" games heh
I've been a fan of IL & TQ since the beginning. When I'm in the mood for some fast action ARPG game, hack & slash, loot hounding...I look now farther than TQ:IT
I never experienced any game breaking bugs in either game. I LOVE/D Immortal Throne, think it's one of the BEST expansions I've seen release for a game. The mood and atmosphere and story,as well as the music imo are top notch!
It added the features and depth I thought the original game needed. Didn't need much, but IT for me made for the perfect game.
I'm sorry that "some" have experienced problems to such a degree that they feel that they had been mislead or cheated buy IL or THQ buy purchasing the games.
But I just for the record wanted to state as clearly as I can, that I personally have not experienced anything close to those conditions with the 2 copies I own.
IL (medierra) has stated that they are aware of the rubberband problem, I can only assume that the issue varies from system to system...which would make testing and narrowing down the problem an added chore.
I'm very glad to see Medierra still posting and keeping in touch with the community! That says volumes about him as well as IL's commitment and respect for their fans and customers. /tips hat
I hope that there will be a patch released when ever possible, for those that continue to have trouble and hold out hope for a fix.
I can only suggest the basics.
Defrag, reduce or remove any programs running in the back ground while trying to play, 2 gigs of ram does wonders across the board, the faster the cpu the better (though there may be issues with dual core, not sure) and there seems to be some driver related issues with the nvidia 8800 cards, not sure about that as well heh. Typically "more/faster" equals "better" in the computer world...but not always.
All I can tell you is my mid-range system, about 2 years old now runs TQ:IT very well.
That's "all" I know for sure...well and that my even older 6600gt rig runs it at a very playable level.
For those with problems I "as always" wish you the best, for Iron Lore I wish you the "very" best and can promise that I will be purchasing whatever you guys decide to release next! As I can't possibly imagine the team that designed TQ could ever create something I wouldn't want to play
Regards & Good Hunting ALL!!!!
