colmag Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I paid £30 quid for this. Its supposed to be ace. It's crashed my comp more than every other program i've ever installed put together, ever. Since my zx81. E V E R. My WIN-XP has started crying. And i'm not far behind. I reach a really good looking bit and it crashes. I reload, kill stormie's in said good looking bit, and it crashes. WTF is wrong with this game. I've got Q3, SoF, RTCW, MOHAA, H-L (in case you're wondering, all Q based games) and none of them gave me any problems whatsoever (and before anyone flames me, four games including this one are based on Q3 engine). I thought i'd try multiplayer, and can't even get a server list. So far today, i've spent nearly ten hours trying to play this game, and have got about 1 hour of gameplay. Not a good return in my book. And i can't search on this forum ,and haven't got a f(*&ing clue how to do a poll. (ok. so i worked out the poll bit, shame about the game though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracofyre Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 What I want to know is why are the people reviewing this game giving it such high marks when the damn thing crashes so often. Didn't the reviewers have the same problems we are ALL having, or did the reviewers get a "special" guarenteed to work version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald McDonald Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 That just seriously makes me wonder... the poll says that 90.91% (currently) of the people choose "I'VE BOUGHT THE ****ING GAME BUT I CAN'T ****ING PLAY IT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutek Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Verlex, that's very true, and people here rarely take the time to realise that truth. The people here are a small fraction of those who actually *have* JK2, a very *tiny* fraction. (there are a lot of players out there without problems, numbering in the tens of thousands at least). However, there are a few of us wierdos who have the game working perfectly (or as near as makes no difference. I have a few slight problems that have developed more recently), and still spend time on these boards trying to help. Funnily enough we often recieve abuse for defending the programmers, who worked hard to get it working one ONE computer/configuration, let alone as many as they have. Unfortunately we also cannot solve every problem, as (IMHO) remote TS is never as helpful as being on site - and many call centre tech support guys are barely computer literate enough to tell you how to turn the damned thing on (the number of times I have spoken to tech support guys who knew less than my MOTHER...sheesh.) Anyway, we do our best. As do the guys and gals at Raven. They cannot work miracles, and almost all of these problems are not their fault, and equally they aren't exactly yours either: Blame your computer. I do.

colmag Posted May 5, 2002 Author Share Posted May 5, 2002 Incidentally, I started a new thread to say that the game now works for me: My working JK2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
