Hmm, I've never played that game, but I'm honestly perplexed that it would crash at all. Maybe the computer's too powerful for it's specs? I'm honestly not sure. =/ Because the most costly requirement is 1 GB RAM, but even my laptop can handle that well, and that thing's probably the least technologically advanced of all our computer-like devices. =P

I'll try and see if there's a support thing for it, but I'm not sure if it'll be any help. Did it give an error report, or just straight up crash?

I'm gonna go with "most likely not" on that one.

Speaking of I should pick up Thomas Was Alone

Runs minecraft great...
Message was:
The game crashed.
The crash report folder crash_2012_12_07_214710 next to game executable
It would be great if you would send it to the game developer.

I wish he could just get a different game...

Well, Minecraft is more powerful than you might think at first; that said, my desktop can't run it, while my inferior laptop can, so your mileage may vary. =P

Find that crash report, see if it says anything more; because that's what I'm interested in. =P

Minecraft is horribly unoptimized, it's not a good performance test

But yeah it's definitely an issue with him specifically, I was concerned about the processor but it meets minimum reqs too

Also I don't know what Mak is and isn't allowed to play (I know you were concerned about Minecraft last year), but I should mention that TWA has a couple of bad words in it (h### and d###), not anything serious though

Thanks, Canama.. he's swearing on his own now. =P =((

I am sure it's something he has on his comp... but what??
The game runs fine on  mine

Blade.....that is the whole message... =(

[Blade]

That's odd. There's nothing in the folder thing it mentions in the message? 0_o That's a horribly unhelpful error report message from the developers, if that's really it. xD

Under the circumstances, everything should just work. RAM requirements are met well beyond ANYTHING extra it might need(And it's not running 7, so it's not even a problem of needed extra RAM for Vista/7 stuff); the game should otherwise be able to run on a relic from the past; and overall, it just doesn't look like there's anything off. =/ Consider me confused, to be honest.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Found the problem... had to adjust his graphics accelerator... =P

Say, out of curiosity, does anyone know the current status of Dota 2? The steam page is giving me conflicting answers; since it says 'Play Now' and that I already own it; but yet it has that early access stuff, and says that it's not finished yet. I know it's free to play, but if I was able to actually run it, would it let me, or say 'hey buy this first!' or what?
