Titan Quest Gold?
polycounter lvl 17
Hey folks, I was thinking about getting this double pack for 20 USD over steam, but I'm having severe problems running the demo. I know a lot of pc'ers worked on the title so I was curious if the patches cleared up a lot of the stability issues.
With Diablo 3's announcement and such a good deal, I figured it was time to finally check it out!

If you like the diablo gameplay, it's worth picking up.
I'm not sure what issues you'd have with the demo, but it's probably related to something you've done. Are you using beta video drivers or something?
Edit: Playing the demo now, and I don't have any issues. I suggest you check your drivers and the support forums.
Everytime I play, it's the same thing. The mouse locks, the screen goes black, them my monitor goes to sleep like there is no video signal. I still have audio, but I have to do a hard reset to recover.
There is a broad scope of different PC Hardware configurations to consider, all PC titles deal with this problem and remember this was Iron Lore's (RIP) first title.
It is a great game and if you want, you should check it out. Some of the technical issues were addressed before Iron Lore closed in the official patch. You should be able to download the patches within the game.
I've been meaning to try it out, but the community created their own unofficial fan patch that attempts to fix a number of game breaking bugs, which was something quite awesome to find out about.

For some reason the version of the game I bought came on a bunch of cd's instead of a dvd, so reinstalling it would be a pain.
Too bad about the ati, though.
I dont have the expansion is it a lot of content?
but yeah, it was a great game to work on
Yes! Not only is there a lot more content, but added features that enhance the game. It makes the overall game much cooler, imo.
"What are you doing wrong with our bug-free product?"
good times, in my horribly biased opinion.
I'm tempted to get this on steam since the expansion alone is $20 at the local stores.
"This product doesn't appear to be available in your region."
What kinda bullshit is that? They region lock this shit or something? Argh.
Steam Region Locking Blows
How's that for a big fuck you?
Titan Quest is a great game. Best game based on diablo based gameplay. better than diablo 2 imo. We did have allot of customers who had problems with the game, but the patches fixed that.
On a side note, whenever your system appears to be hardlocked you should try pressing the power button in and releasing quickly. Just like you were turning the system on. If Windows isn't hardlocked then it will recognize the signal and start going through a normal shut down procedure. Usually you dont want to use your reset button unless you have to. It's rare but it can cause your windows files to get corrupt.
oh, and btw, i work tech support at a computer company if you havn't noticed
Thanks, I brought it. On steam the expansion is 20$ and both games also 20$ so i bought the TQ again lol.
now i can play the origional with a friend lan oneday if he does not have it.
Might just settle for a boxed version.

If i remember correctly the lock ups happened in the cave on the hacked version because the security Secu-rom Software THQ required would run a check when you entered the first cave, thus causing the lock up.
Glad to see people are picking up the game now that Diablo III was announced.
B
they put secu-rom on a demo?
How is co-op? How many people can play at once?
I played it awhile ago and I enjoyed it much more than Diablo, but I started playing it right when college kicked off so I had to drop it
Not sure, but I'd love to co-op sometime. I'm unlucky that my desktop with the ati wont play it, but I'm lucky that I got my wife one of the new gaming laptops from gateway. I told her we needed that one so I could work on it when we travel!!! I played earlier today for quite some time. It is definitely a great game and it looks great too! Good job on the art folks!
