Graphical Errors, Crashing.

[Xikaze]

Hey guys. I've been a member here for a while, but I left sometime in '06.
I just recently downloaded RA2 (from here), and upon installing and running I notice it's full of graphical errors everywhere. (see attachments) I haven't installed any mods yet. The game crashes when I attempt to start building bots.

I'm running Vista with an NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics card.

Is this a problem with my graphics card? The torrent? Any suggestions are appreciated.

(If CD) Download the 1.3 patch, it has a graphic fix for nVidia cards.

The graphics seem to be working smoothly now, but the game is still crashing when I try to enter the Workshop.

[Sage]

you might have some component issues. have you downloaded any components?

[Xikaze]

Nope. I haven't downloaded anything yet.

The workshop seems to be the only thing I can't get to... competitions with the default bots work fine.

This is why you don't use torrents, the either suck, don't work properly, or fill your computer with viruses. This one just doesn't work correctly. JUST DOWNLOAD AND BUY THE GAME. It's not that hard, really.

The game's online access is also messed up if its torrented... But it may depend on your source. You might get low respect via that method btw.

What is torrent anyway?

Nope. My torrent is fine. It sometimes crashes, but it's really minor and doesn't mess up the game.

Mine is fine too. I even have the game from 3 different sources. The ISO version, the download version, and some other installed and RARed by someone version. And they are all fine.

(whistles downward) There goes the law out the window. But seriously, just get the game instead of using a torrent. Especially if it causes problems. If there's still trouble, then you do need a new graphics card. But the torrent itself is the most likely source. Just get the real game, or mabye PM one of these guys for their list of underground software contacts or warez nodes.

The graphics card is not the problem. It is, but if you just buy the regular game, and download the 1.3 patch, IT WILL ALL BE FINE!!

Naryar and venko probably disagree with you on that one gigafrost. But I can see that you and I are the mature ones. Not the only mature ones, but still. I've even seen ACAMS freak out. (ACAMS please don't )

All right, thanks guys. I need to do some digging and find my CD. I haven't seen it in a year but I'm sure it's around somewhere.

Thanks for the help, though!
