I can't see the races and careers, and can't click when i try to choose a career.

Anyone know what to do?

What PC you running?

 

[Mooxz]

Dunno to be honest.

But i played AoC on this comp, so i don't realy think it should be a problem to run this.

Try doing a complete file check, updating Drivers for your video card etc.
If its a laptop then the GFX card is not supported, which could lead to stuff like this, but I doubt it.

 

[Mooxz]

Doing the file check now, hopefully that will fix it.

I don't want to update drivers, would take me hours..... i suck at computors

Are you on a laptop?

 

[Mooxz]

Nope, not on a laptop

The file check didn't seem to fix it.

i had the same problem, just clicked somewhere near the place where it says server and suddenly i got the server selection pane to open. when i specifically chose a server it connected after timing out once and it kind of worked since that

I managed to make a character, but the game shuts down when i try to log in.

According to Can You Run It? Powered by System Requirements Lab i should be able to run it, green light on everything.

 

[pikeh]

If you havn't updated your drivers that could be the issue.

Pikeh, stop saying Laptop GPUs aren't supported! Would help if people posted their models/versions

Mooxz: If XP:

Right click "My Computer"
Properties
Hardware tab
Device Manager
Display Adapters. <-- What does it say there?

It's all I know!

tbfh, that's why as soon as I buy one, I'm going to run the check on it (in store) and if it doesn't run, kkthxbyebye, NEXT.

Haha I meant as in, run the check website But aye, I'll just make them have it as a pre-req for selling gamer laptops/machines "If it can't run war, it's a home-user machine*

TBFH, companies need to start giving benchmarks for any laptop with a dedicated GPU

 

[Mooxz]

What magical website?

IF you mean systemrequirementslab yes, and i should be able to run it.

 

[pikeh]

It's not the most reliable source of info tbh.

You could try a fresh install of your OS. In reality, it should only take an hour or so if you transfer the WAR files to an external. But even then that could still not work.

I need that anyway i guess, my comp is a mess.
What do i do with the stuff i want to keep? i don't want to download it all again.

I guess i'll give that a try tomorrow.

Put it all on an external HD or a memory stick. Or even an iPod if you don't have those.

Create a partition and move it all there, will be totally safe when you move some stuff across.

Also, before you do, do a DEFRAG, it'll clear up files and some space.

Pikeh: It is, it gives you a basic understanding if you can run it or not, after running it, should google your card to be sure it passes the mythic "allowed" and generally check drivers etc.
