Actually, budtske , you're wrong about people wanting to think they can run an old game with an older card because there -are- game designers skilled enough to make an elite game (definitely not this one) into a supportive build and STILL have unreal graphical potential with newer cards. Here's a big example of that, HALF LIFE 2??? I have a Geforce 4 Mx 420 and I ran HL2 at 20 – 58 fps and it didn't glitch/bug/fail because the designers kicked ass. It just left out some advanced graphics, -that's- it. It really depends on who makes the game and how devoted they are to making people happy with their product, so people.. don't listen to him. Sure, you may be disappointed at time s because of this, but it's not your fault, it's their's.

Hi everybody, I was searching the web thinking I could find a way to run CoCDCoTE ’cause I have the same problem like you.

Yes, I saw the BIG STUPID requirement of 32Mb Video Card at the game’s web, and downloaded it inmediatly after a months wishing to play it, too bad, readme says 128Mb Video Ram….

so my PC could’nt runt, so I gave it a second chance on a Dell Inspiron 600m, wich has a ATI Radeon Mobility vCard with 64Mb vRam (technology from 5 years ago) and, IT RUNNED !!!!!
No errors , no low rates, awesome !

Anyway, the lap wasnt mine, so it didnt last long TT.
but it surprised me a lot, that laptop runned TRA better than my desktop PC XS

Well Im still trying with my Unichrome I stil have the hope of kill some deep ones.
Help will be not denied.

Cthulhu rules.

Hey did anyone figure out how to fix the save game problem?
I tried changing my windows clock to 24hr, but that didnt help.
Can someone leave instructions to fix it?

I can get this to run, I have geforce4 Ti 4600, but the menu is all gray except for the cursor, and when I manage to start up the game the screen is comepletely black except for the rain. I can hear the sounds, and apparently my card is supported, but I cant see anything. Is there a fix for this? Or maybe some sort of emulator that will get it to run the way that I want?

I guess I shouldn’t waste my time trying to run it with a S3G Unichrome IGP then… damn, I waited for this game for so long.
Anyway, there is where people at Bethesda are wrong:
I read these specs at the official page of the game: “a 32mb Direct 3D compatible graphics card and 128mb RAM”
but then, in the game’s read me file they wrote something completely different: “Video Card with 128MB Video RAM”
…A moron at the website made a typo that made me think my old PC could run the game and then I got it. They shouldn’t play with people’s feelings like that

I dont see why people with a geforce mx or radeon 7xxx/9200 are even trying to run this game…

even IF you got it to work, and good luck with that since the game itself only supports Directx 9 compatible cards (ie: not release related) the best your ever gonne get is probebly 5 frames per second

This game is not alone in this, the ATI drivers dont even support radeon 7xxx or 9200 cards anymore.

why? Because developers are starting to have to limit game and 3D engine capabilitys by supporting these 5 year old cards.

I dont see what the difference is between a new game supporting these old cards and running at UNPLAYABLE framerates then the game not supporting them at all
