EU3 Modification Question

[crazy canuck]

Garbon, I am not sure why you bother posting in these threads.  Normally Berkut is better at weeding out pointless posts.

Indeed, these threads should exist for fabulously paid lawyers to dump on people who buy pre-made computers.

If you are using onboard video you cannot expect any sympathy.  Paradox designs games for people with real computers.

If Paradox doesn't want to design games for systems like mine, that is fine with me, but I meet all of the requirements they list when they sell the game (and am well above most of them). It is deceptive marketing to sell games publicizing a set of requirements that you know will still not allow some people to use the game.

It is also in poor form to hide the tech support forum from people that havent registered the game, and so they won't notice until they buy it that, guess what, the game will never work on their machine.

I got this game last week.  Well above any recommended settings and it crashes constantly.  The tech support forum seems useless as well, but I can see lots of people have problems.

Quit complaining. At least you got to look at the map.

You're right.  That is shitty.

I installed the handdrawn map mod, it actually looks pretty nice.

Apparently they hide the tech support forum because they don't want pirates to get tech support...unfortunately that also fucks over legit customers who are curious as to if it will run.

You are more driven than me--I wouldn't play without a political map. But reading the thread, some people seem to have actually been playing without any kind of map.

Against my better judgment, can I just go to Best Buy and pick up a video card tonight to fix this problem?

I dunno, maybe, I have a dedicated graphics card and my map works fine.  Only have a problem with crashing.

Which I think I've solved after reinstalling, apparently I patched the game wrong.  Was able to play several years as Portugal without a crash.

Are you suggesting that AR cant afford a $50 card for his new computer?

Not in the least, although I wouldn't suggest that he should buy one to play eu3.

With MMP and all the expansions its actually a great game.  Don't listen to Garbon.

I'm not sure if it would work with a new graphics card.....would anyone on Paradox fora help you?

I posted last night in the tech support thread, but so far no. I'll just pick up a card on the way home tonight and hope for the best.

At the very least you will have a real computer now.
