thebigdaddy812 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Well, If there is anybody here who needs help...it's me. I have just bought XWA and I am running it on an ATHLON XP1900 with 768 megs of PC133 ram, 80 gig Maxtor and Win XP Pro w/SP1. The game seems to play pretty stable but for some reason My main Menu screen (the one with the robot and all your trophies) and the hologram screens ( where the robot details your missions) are way off center on my monitor. Gameplay seems centered up pretty good. I'm playing at 1024X768 with no ill effects...but it does'nt seem to matter what rez I setr it at THOSE screns I mentioned are still wacky. Any advice given would be appreciated, especially regarding any tweaks for the O/S or the game specifically. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold leader Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Great! But: 1) Wrong forum, of course. 2) Which videocard do you have? and just curious: 3) Where do you need 768 MB RAM for? Especially for XWA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 3) Where do you need 768 MB RAM for? Especially for XWA? Its What. For my next PC(By this Christmas) I plan on having a whole whopping 1GB of RAM or 1024MBs. Just for overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Contrary to what some beings might say, you can never have too much memory or processor speed; I'll wager you anything that video games are only going to get more and more memory-intensive.

[miffed] The robot has a name. [/miffed] As for your graphics prob. . . Have you tried tinkering with the in-game video options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigdaddy812 Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 I'm using a Geforce 3 Ti 200 w/128 meg RAM and 40.72 Detonators. I just have a lot of RAM becuse I found an extra stick of pc133 laying around so I plugged it in. I only had 512 megs before. the Detonator drivers are'nt WHQL certified yet but it has never been a problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies...the droid does have a name, But I haven't played the game yet because I wanted to try to fix things first. Yeah I tried the in game settings but no help there.

Jabba The Hunt Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 The best way to get a stable computer system is to look at what the standard is for your processor then atleast double the ram and the video card. Belive me I have 2 PC's, one is a 1ghz, 256meg,32meg video card, and its pretty stable the other is a 1.1ghz, 128meg and a 8meg video card, and it crashes atleast 3 times a day, if i could afford it i would have a 128 meg vid card and 512 meg a ram (more ram if i didnt have windows ME (win 95-ME can only handle <512 meg of memory)).
