Hi,
I'm a new member here. This is my first visit.
I bought TR7 just yesterday. The CD gave me two options before installing:
Option 1: Features On (GForce - Nvidia)
Option 2: Features Off
I chose the second coz i have ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series on my computer (I found this on right click - properties - settings).
The game was ok and the graphics were ok too BUT when playing the game lara moves swiftly but sometimes in certain points it slow downs repeatedly. I mean, i knew there's something wrong just by seeing the menu (Lara on the background moving a little bit slowly and mouse cursor is a little bit slowly too) So, :mad: all on the same day. I downloaded the 1.2 patch but soon I found out it wasn't for the CDs versions. It was for the downloaded versions. The website didn't clarify that. :mad2: After downloading this 1.2 patch and try to play the game again by the hope that the graphics would be improved, it didn't work out and gave me a msg that it should be closed and sorry for the inconveniece :mad2: !!! All by the same night, I found the 1.1 patch that says it's for the CDs. I unistalled the game and then reinstall it but the installation progress was too slow and gave me error msg that i should read the read me file. I ejected the CD :mad2: and then inserted again NOW the CD is not working. Tried it couple of times, still didn't work out. I tried other DVDs & CDs. All worked BUT TR7. :mad: I stayed the night to figure out what to do. I'm really hopless and really need your help.
I'm not good in computer language, so :
Pentium 4 - Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
ATI RADEON XPRESS Series 200 (Chip Type: ATI display adapter (0x5A61) - DAC Type: Internal DAC (400MHz) - Memory Size: 256 MB - Bios Information: BK-ATI VER008.0461.003.000)
Intel(R)
Pentium (R)4 CPU 2.80 GHz
2.80 GHz, 448 MB of RAM
I don't know if there's anything that should be added. That's what i found. I just want to know if the graphics problem can be fixed or not. And if the DVD Rom is broke or not functioning, will it be recovered by formatting the PC? Plz, and further information would be totally appreciated. :)
