Not true. Demde reckons if you run the game via GreenLuma then the DLC work, as long as you have the DLC's .dat files.

Those 2kb files (A string of numbers and .dat extension.) are DLC? Thought they were related to the copy protection.
EDIT: Though if one is the Just Cause 2 outfit then the other one would be the Police Protection "pack" which consists of a repeatable mission where you ride shotgun while trying to protect the driver from ever spawning triad members on bikes and cars, it's pretty easy but it's also rather boring, good way to earn 10.000 HKZ though.

all this talk of dual cores not being too ancient? lol Going from a dual core to say an i7 2600 or so, is night and day in the way shit runs.. Games can just about run on their own with a 2600k with medium settings, no video card hooked up, I have tried it, lol.
I understand not having money n such being an issue. But to say they are fine, and for that matter the quad cores are fine, the best way to sum it up is; they are fine for older games and any desktop app, but going forward and expecting to play these new games with that kind of set up is going to make you have a bad day.
That being said, prices are really good on tech right now, ssd's MB's, etc/ I benchmarked the game on my sys and capped it at 60, and the benchmark game me a 60, so I call that good enough

I thought you need a legit version to run it via GreenLuma?
Otherwise I've got to try this out

Huh?! Then why is my oh so ancient E6850 still able to run most games maxed out (or nearly) at a more than playable framerate? Some of you people really have no idea how fine the dual core and quad core CPUs still are since you are on new hardware. Yes, it would be recommended to have a newer CPU with such a graphics card, but we're not all swimming in money. Also, how many times do people have to say that the game runs great on even worse PCs?! His PC is more than fine for this game.

mYslead has the same problem I do, he tries to run the game, a white window pops up, and then closes immediately. Haven't found a solution to this yet, but the official forums tell me people with the legit version have the issue as well. Or it could just be pirates in the official forums. In any case, I've given up, because I've already tried all combinations imaginable. I'm waiting for a new crack or patch. |
nope it was same problem and for me it worked . Its probably problem with D3D11Install which cant be installed in my case |
can't install it either tells me to run the latest service pack of vista or something

D3D11Install is a optional component for Vista (Part of the enhancement upgrade that came out after SP2 or when it was.) to upgrade to DX11, you don't need it otherwise.
(DX9 Redist and a up to date W7 is all, plus the other requirements be they .Net or VC++ related.)

I think I covered your question. Talkng about HIS PC not running the game comes down to the things mentioned by others and myself, and perhaps his system also has some kind of hic-up. I had this issue in the past as well, with most games running great and others running like shit, mostly console ports, running my dual and quad core. Quad ran ported games much better. There have been 0 issues with trying games in my new, well almost 2 year old now, system. I am not swimming in $ either. I waited til xmas when prices were cheap, pieced it out and put it together. Total cost was 600 USD (minus the video card I had from the previous X-mas). This same sytem I have now will cost you 350-400 come xmas time, not that spendy at all. Ask Santa

Same here
Some games were running fine on my old E8400 but others had an hard time (Bad Company 2 , BF3 , GTA IV to name a few. They were playable of course but not at the performence level i wanted.
As soon as i upgraded my MOBO and processor to a 2500k they ran much better and thats with the same card.and ram. Games that arent optimized for a quad will run fine on a dual. However games that take advantages of 4 cores may have slowdowns or a sluggish feel on a dual.

As for the others... I for one didn't buy the graphics card either. I asked my uncle to buy a 460 or something, but he bought a 560ti since it was cheaper and better. He always bought PC components for me or gave me his older ones. I'm not going to ask him for more since I feel all he had done for me is enough. The only thing I could do to this PC is replace the CPU with a quad core and even that is worth doing only if I get it for free or really cheap. For now I can't buy stuff like this with my own money since those are almost inexistent so I'll have to do with this PC. And no, I'm not offended. I'm just annoyed by people that keep saying my CPU and other similar ones are too ancient. Everybody is saying that in such a way like nothing could run on it and yet I only have performance problems with 3 games, which are all games that I don't really care about. Everything else runs perfectly fine. |
"Someone" was making that maxed out claim a few weeks back... and it turned out it wasn't maxed out at all.
Although you did include "or nearly" so...
Even playing at 1280x1024 (I think you once mentioned this, right?) I doubt that you can really max out any recent game.

Looking at the required specs for the game, it seems a Quad is listed, at a speed of only 2.13Ghz. I don't entirely understand, but it sounds to me like the game has been coded specifically to use all cores.
Surely that doesn't mean that *GASP* the developers are actually being efficient at using the cores available?
(does this mean that a high end dual core is no longer good enough for this game?)

Done! Took me 16 hours and 24 minutes.
Good game, I'd give it about 7.5, last two levels were damn good.

More open world games should take place in the east IMO, lots of crime there and the scum inolved are often worse than the typical mafioso.
Would love to have a "sequel" set in Russia or Thailand.

When I moved to my 2600k system from my E8400 system the difference was substantial in playability in pretty much every title out there. Same GPU as well.

Dual cores are becoming less and less capable or relevant with each new game release, you can't expect them to pull you through every time. Even with previous games it really comes down to what one considers playable performance. Almost every new game I had played for the past 3-4 years ran noticeably better with a Core 2 Quad (not gonna even try comparing it to the 2500K) than it did with my C2D.
The 6xxx series Core 2 Duos are 5 years old now.. that's just 2 years less that the current gen consoles. Ain't nothing you can do. The developers can attempt to squeeze more out of dual cores, but it still can't work miracles for you.
And again, maxing out doesn't mean much. The higher the settings, the more relevant the GPU becomes over the CPU. And with a low resolution of 1280x1024 on a 560ti you can expect a loads of CPU bottlenecking.
Also, in threads like these (on CPU performances), most of the time when someone with a crappier machine says his game is "running great", it turns out in the end that his definition of "great" is just awfully skewed in comparison to others
Happens almost every time and only serves to promote denial in dual core owners. |
I would agree with some of that, however, seeing as a LOT of games being made for PC STILL don't use quad cores when available, and that i3/i5 cpu's are still dual core, says to me that they're not useless yet.

Yeah well, if I had the money I'd get one.
I'll be lucky if I can afford an i3.

I don't know... can't think of any recent moderately CPU intensive game that wouldn't use up the cores.
PCs are not only used for gaming (and even if so, not necessarily for high end gaming), so of course dual cores are not outright useless. You don't need an i7 if all you want is a multimedia or some home work PC.
Also, a E6/7/8xxx dual core is not really in the same league as the i3-s (almost all of the i5-s are quads, there's just like one lowest end model that is dual, as far as I can tell). You might be able to get something out of a decent dual core like that for some time, but that's just a very temporary solution if we are talking about gaming. If you are planning on upgrading a gaming PC, getting a dual core is a bad decision. Actually, it would be a really bad decision 2 years ago already, if you ask me. Now it's better to pretend they don't even exist

Even an i3 is a substantial upgrade over the E8400 at this point in time.

is the game going to playable with 4/5 years old crap : C2E QX 9650 + 8GB + ATI 6850?
Max Payne 3 ran nicely, that was a pleasant surprise.
wouldn't mind if i was grabbing a warez version, but as I'm going to buy it, would be a bit disapointed if i wasn't able to run the game properly : )

Ok so i installed the P2P version. Install and work fine with crack at 1.0.
However i just can't seem to install the cracked 1.4 P2P patch. I run the bat file and i get errors on some files saying that it can't find xdelta3 path. Tried to copy all files in the install folder but doesn't work either.
Am i missing something here ?
