The MY MACHINE WONT run it thread ...

[Markie]

So anoying ... really need to upgrade the whole PC ... GRR runs like a slug on it ...

Come on ... who else cant run it because of their PC?

[VNVObit]

My windows (vista) laptop got as far as starting the first wave but the screen remained on the select level screen

Tried it on via VMWare on my iMac but while it worked there was just a cross where the ship should be and words where the sheepies were. It was actually playable but not very enjoyable as missing a considerable bit of the graphics so gave me the feeling I was missing quite a bit (I like the visuals of Yak's game so no fair)

Spent 12 hours defragging the HDD on the iMAc to do a bootcamp install (the iMac does have enough oomph to play the game) only to find that my windows install disc was borked. Now not destined to play it for a while yet

Now scrabbling about trying to find my other windows installation disc so I can play it.

edit:posted first bit as question on GRRev support forum

Heh.
Athlon XP 2000+
512MB RAM
Windows 2000!!!
Some cheap-ass nvidia AGP card.

I've about as much chance of running it on my old ZX81

The sheep says BAA! when I try it on my netbook

Main PC runs it fine providing I don't switch to 3.0 shaders... then it's like watching a slideshow. A very pretty slideshow - GRRev is a game you can play while holding a cup of tea... GRRev with 3.0 shaders on my pc = game you can play while *making* a cup of tea

Centrino 1.4Ghz laptop with 1Gb RAM and a nasty Intel memory sharing crap video chip refused to run SG let alone GRR. I was looking forward to an OxBox release, but that seems to of been squished in another thread.

Hopefully this game isn't too hard on the CPU - I'm getting a Radeon HD4650 (1GB) because my Radeon 9200 just isn't up to scratch anymore.

Downloaded and installed. Starts initialising graphics and then BOOM!

Oh dear the Sheep says BAAA!

I had that problem after uninstalling it, then trying to re-install it again, without clicking the 'Delete Profiles' box during the first uninstall. I just needed to unistall then re-installing it again, but remember to click the delte profile box.

Looks like you're problem is different though. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work for you.

"Is it you Borman ?"
</Mafalda>

( now that is something that only true Mafalda fans can know about ).

If it's the same you we are having those letters I said I am investigating what's weird with shader 91/92 ..

That log seems to say that certainly never passed beyond shader 91, it coud be dead/stuck into D3DCreateShader();

Or something else.

Grats on getting it out guys I is having teh funs, bought it as soon as I found it would run

Now, I have a Athlon XP2600+ and a Radeon 9800. The simpler levels run silky smooth but later ones get slowdown.

I'm thinking of upgrading to a Sapphire HD3650 graphics card like this:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/512MB-Sa ... DVI-I-HDTV

Can anyone answer if that will be good for all levels / difficulties at 1280x960 with PS3?

Just want to add I'm fucking stoked about this Yak+Giles, cheers a million

[DutchLlama]

I won't even try it then. I have a crappy old P4 2Ghz which crawls down to a slow when watching YouTube vids.

Why not try at least try it?

[Devlin]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK it works!

it's PROPER SEXY... kids, if you got a 2.0GHz(or better)P4, just shell out for a good graphics card and you're set for GR:R.

Had to go for a HD3850 in the end but it was worth it.

[gribbles]

Can't get PS3.0 going with my ATI X1950 - anyone else found this?

Happy shooting shit with PS2.0 though
