This game rocks!!!

on Monday, August, 25, 2003 1:37 PM
Man, this game is wicked-cool!

I picked it up yesterday at my local EB Games. So far I'm up to the part where you have to release the mooring beams.

The game installed almost without a hitch. Near the end of the install I got a window telling me that it couldn't find WMFADist.exe and that I should find it and run it myself. After the rest of the install completed, I looked on the second CD, found WMFADist.exe and ran it. I looked up WMFADist.exe on the Microsoft website and looks like it installs Windows Media Format SDK version 7. Why I need an SDK I don't know, but it's installed.

The only hitch in performance so far has been the droping out and clipping of sounds in the level where you first find the little Code Optimizer creature crawling around. Nowhere else have I had a sound problem, or any other problem for that matter. In fact, I'm amazed at how well the game runs on my PC (the specs of which you can find a link to below) at 1024x768 32 with all the visual goodies turned on, and with EAX activated too.

I am now eagerly awaiting two things:

1. For November to roll around so I can build my new P5-based gaming rig for playing TRON 2.0 on.

2. For a TRON 2.0 expansion pack!

I'll second that. This game is awesome and I can't believe that I'm finally playing it. Ever since I heard that it was comming out, I've been saving money for a new computer to play it. At the beginning of July I finally built it.

Chassis: clear acrylic
Lighting: 7 Green Cold Cathode lights, and 5 Green Cold Cathode Fans (includes Radioactive sign on fan grill and etching on side of chassis)
CPU: Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz
Memory: 1GB DDR 400MHz
Mother Board: GigaHertz GA-SINXP1394(SiS 655)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Audigy 2

It runs sweet in Single Player mode using 1600x1200, all settings enabled. It runs smoothest with 1024x768 in Multiplayer mode, also with all settings enabled. For all of the trouble some people have had installing/playing the demo and retail version, I'm glad that I've got the flagship pieces of hardware that the game asks for. The game goes off without a hitch.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I'll second an expansion pack, even though I haven't played the game yet!

I also built a new computer to play , but because I thought the game was coming out in March (it was supposed to) I ended up putting one together too early. Could've saved some money, and had a slightly better system. Oh well.

Now I'm going to hold off until the Athlon 64 FX and Pentium 5 have been out for a while . . . I want to see where both companies are going. I've tradtionally preferred AMD, but will switch to Intel if I have to, if they have the better product.

Sha-weet!

I'm planning on the following components for my rig:

Case: Cooler Master ATC-110 or Wave Master (haven't decided yet)
Power Supply: Antec TruePower 550
CPU: Pentium 5 @ 3.4GHz (or higher if Intel introduces it at a higher speed)
Mother Board: Intel Desktop Board D875PBZ
Memory: 2GB DDR 400MHz (or 4GB if 1GB sticks are available)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
Sound Card: Creative Audigy 2
Hardware DVD Decoder: Sigma Designs REALmagic Xcard
HDD: 2 SATA drives (don't know the manufacturer yet)
OS: Dual-boot Win98SE/WinXP

I need dual-boot to play my old stuff like Battlezone, Interstate '76 and the like.

I would wait a little longer for the new PCI-X standard to debut, but for what I've read there won't be any support for Win9x/ME which I still need for older games.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

My PC is about 1.5 years old. it runs Tron2.0 fairly well, but I have to switch off some options and use Medium-level textures. it's not bad at all, though.

I'd LIKE to upgrade my RAM and my videocard at some point, but right now my processor (an Athlon 1500) works fine, and my harddrive (60GB, about 30+GB still free) isn't an issue, and I've got no reason to replace/upgrade my mouse, monitor (17"), keyboard, or speakers.

I had already built a new PC just for Tron 2.0

It runs all three demos just fine, but I want to see how well it'll run the game... but I'm suspecting that it'll work very well.

Yeah, my PC runs the final gold demo better than it runs the full game. I was kinda surprised.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill
