DreamGoddessLindsey Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Great entry for #100, though I was hoping to also see "competitive contract offers" in there for when multiple promotions go for the same worker. That was one big gripe with TEW2007, that if two promotions tried for the same worker, the one with more prestige pretty much always won regardless of what a lesser promotion would be willing to offer. Hopefully there'll be a surprise and that part was revamped as well. I'm crossing my fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterSocko Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 [QUOTE=Cold Cobra;430773]No problem, it's handily labeled "Please enter the month and year that the database is set in...." :)[/QUOTE] But the demo version of TEW 2007 disregarded that info anyway, and every new game would start in January 2007 no matter what. So unless this has been changed for the TEW 2008 demo, TeemuFoundation won't be able to test his 97 database properly until he buys the full version, because the game will probably start in January 2008 even if his database is set to start in 1997.

Adam has to program it to only let you play a month in the trial - so it must be a predetermined month (January). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai of Mattitude Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Also, if we could start from any month we could effectively exploit that and change the starting date of the default database in order to see certain events which would usually happen outside of January.

Remianen Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Oh, one thing Adam didn't mention that I'll say now since the demo's coming out and folks will learn this themselves. [B][I]TEW08 works almost flawlessly on Vista.[/I][/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remianen Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 [QUOTE=TeemuFoundation;431092]Almost? Just almost? Thank God I demanded that my new laptop has XP. Phew.[/QUOTE] Last week, I binged on 08. Played something like 19 hours straight on Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Not a single crash or even hiccup. The only problem that arises is if I try to run iTunes alongside TEW. THEN I get massive slowdown. But that's the case with ALL VB based games that I have. I played Age of Conan with TEW08 running nicely in the background. Alt-tabbed back and forth with no issues. Given the performance of 07 on Vista, 'almost' is more than enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 thats really good news Remi, but don't you have a pretty awesome PC? I guess it must be pretty good to run Conan. I have a 2.40ghz duo core processor, 4gb of ram, plus a graphics card that can run Crysis with most of the settings on max, i think my system gets a 4.8 rating, will it run ok do you think, im no pc expert (despite having worked in data processing pretty much since leaving school) EDIT: IM running vista 64bit too.

Core 2 E6850, 4 gigs of RAM, GeForce 8800 Ultra, Vista Home Premium 64. Conan runs fine, with everything turned up to max. One thing I'd recommend though, is to make sure you don't have 5000 things running in the background. Sneaky stuff like Java Update, iTunesHelper, and crap like that, can steal performance since they're always running and looking for updates that don't exist. As far as running TEW08, lemme put it to you this way. I converted the full, unabridged T-Zone.........and it ran almost as fast as the C-Verse. I'm not exaggerating when I say Adam outdid himself with this release. Big DBs work A LOT faster in 08 than they did in 07, because the game only holds onto data it needs right then (or some such thing). Plus, the popup screens have been severely curtailed so the game isn't always bleeding your available memory. Wait a few hours. When you get the demo and see for yourself, your social life's going right into the toilet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 What social life? :rolleyes: But hmm.. I have AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.20GHz, 1.00 GB of ram.. Well. If it doesn't work good enough on Vista, I'll just put it in Virtual PC, running on XP, like I did with TEW07. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything about it seems super fast, even messing around with a mod the size of the Behemod it reacts much better than '07 ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
