| Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more! |

Re: Total war
I've had that happen while trying new games on a 16MB Voodoo 3. Try dropping your desktop resolution and depth before you start the game. Assuming it gives you that message on startup, of course.

Re: Total war
I didnt mean PC ram, I meant video card ram. but chances are if your pc has 63mb ram, your video card is somethign like 8mb, which emans youll probably need a new one to run any games now-a-days.
wanna hear soemthing funny? your COMPUTER has 63mb of ram. My video card has 64mb DDR ram! sorry, just a bit amusing.

Re: Total war
there should be some settings that should change the video procesing. try find something that says software rendering and use that. that should work.
your not missing out on much though, the game is overly complicated with a very slow learning curve. it has little action (you can aviod all action with an autoplay button) and is not hard to win the game once you pick up on a few things.
it spent a total of two days on my hard drive (beating winamp3 by one and a half days).

Don't brag. My video card has 128 meg ddr and I have a gig of sdram. So what? There are prolly people who have 4 gig sdram. Who cares? Yes, 64 meg sdram isn't enough if you're going to play games that were made afther 98-99, but if you're using your pc for playing occasionally an mp3 and doing some surfing on the net, then 64 meg is more than enough.
