TimeShift Game

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

So I bought the game yesterday and it runs great on my machine. 16x AA, 16x10 res, no Vsync, etc etc.

I managed to make a perfect working ISO of it and re-burnt it to a DVD-R. I installed it just fine on my brothers computer. However, when you try to play it from the copied disc, it tells you to use the original disc and not a backup copy. After which, I got looking around for a fixed exe. Found one. Patched the game (yes there's a patch already. Fixes 25 issues) and applied the fixed EXE. Works flawless.

So here I am, trying to figure out how to put it on my dad's computer that lacks a DVD drive. Then I got to thinking that I could just mount the ISO using Daemon Tools and install it that way. So I did. Mind you he has a single core AMD64 3200+ at 2GHz 2GB RAM, and a 6800GS (AGP). The game calls for at least Windows XP with the latest SP, Pentium 4 2.0GHz or higher, or AMD equivalent, 1GB RAM, 128MB DX9c card with PS 2.0 with a GeForce 6600/ATI Radeon X700 or higher. My dad meets these requirements. The game runs like absolute crap. I tried overclocking the video card, that helped at one point until I messed with the resolution to try and gain some extra FPS. That somehow managed to give me even worse FPS than I already had originally(25-30FPS). So now, I cant get anywhere above 11FPS. I have the game on the lowest settings possible and even at 1024x768 and I still get 11FPS. If I increase the res at all, the FPS is even worse.

I tried putting the video card on its old settings from when I had it (unlocked pipes and vertex shader at 412/1.12GHz) and no dice.

Any ideas guys? I know its not the most elaborate machine, but this rig should be able to play this game at medium settings.

Well did u check the temps while running the game? Thats can and will make your game run like crap (belive me i know). Don't just run the game and minimize it either to check because that'll give a false reading then, you run the game in a window with somthing like ATItool to cheack temps.

Why are you stealing software? What goes around comes around.

Im not stealing it. I bought it legally yesterday. Please re-read teh first sentence.

Not to sound rude and or obnoxious, but that pissed me off a bit.

To be perfectly honest, I do not know if you are just pulling my leg or you are actually calling me a liar.

Well I don't much appreciate being called a liar when I am innocent of such a charge. I'm not irate, however, I am not at all pleased with it either.

I think there are other forums on the net that deal in depth with backing up games/games iso's etc. Maybe a different forum would be the place to pursue this.

Agreed, Helvetica is a very unlikeable TPU member

Never listen to 'minimum requirement' statements....they are BS! I think you will find that your dads rig just isnt good enough to run it

I was just messin with you, I didn't know you would take it so seriously, sorry.

 

[newconroer]

What OS you using for this, XP or Vista?

I noticed it doesn't support DX10.

Actually I bet the EULA only allows you to install on a single system



As for Helvetica, if you have nothing to add to a thread don't say anything. If you feel he is a software pirate and shouldn't post these things report his post and we (staff) look into it.

Both.

My machine is Vista, brothers is XP and so is my dad's.

I more or less had a feeling that you were just pulling me leg, but the way Helvetica came in and said what he did kinda pissed me off because he/she failed to read the very first sentence. I bet all he/she saw was "fixed exe" and assumed that I downloaded the game. I used fixed exe's for all of my games that require the disc to play. I hate hindering myself to actually grab the discs to play a game all the time.

Backing up the game isnt the problem here. I have already done that. Its getting it to work on my dad's single core Athlon64 3200+ with 2GB of RAM and a 6800GS.

Sadly, I think the same.

 

[newconroer]

At least you can back it up. Mine's being a nasty blow-hard. I got it installed on one system, now it won't even let me pull the data off the disc so I can get an image going.


Hey but one system is better than none.

Use DVD Decrypter's ISO feature. Thats what I did. Works flawless. You just cant use the backup disc to play the game.
