    [​IMG] Nope, sorry. (A)D&D games coverage is about all I can handle. If you're looking for a good Arcanum site, check out my buddy Calis' site Terra Arcanum: http://www.terra-arcanum.com

    [​IMG] But I'm warning you Firestorm - that board is not so good as this one!
    It is flooded with spams and bumps, and also it is killer for ppl with dial-up like me. You'll see...

    Anyway, I'm searching for less "make up" forums on Arcanum to join.

    One thing more - IMHO although that forum there sucks, site pages are touch of class!

    I'll try terra-arcanum. The arcanum board at vault network is childish in the extreme. Any other suggestions?

    [​IMG] Kind of off-topic:
    If I can run SoA on my computer, do you think that I'd be able to run Arcanum too?
    Right now, I can only run the minimum installation of SoA, and the game crashes from time to time...
    thx!

    If you can run BG2, you can run Arcanum. If anything, Arcanum would run on a weaker machine than BG2.

    [​IMG] You're wrong Tal. Arcanum is the game which needs stronger hardware. I had a P200 with 64 ram. I finished BG2 on it 2 months ago, it went okay. But the Arcanum demo, on the other hand, went so slow that I had to wait for 2 mins for my inventory to open or for the charater to even move...

    Or the Bus is very very busy. Have you shot down all other non-vital programs running?

    My harddisk is fine, it is just i have a 3 way dvd/cdr/cd so it is slow. Plus i have windows ME and seems to be rather inefficient in comparison to my comparison.

    [​IMG] Excuse me Elendil, but your version of Arcanum wasn't gold version. :p

    Troika Games released a newer version than that one you had three months before the game actually got in stores.
    So next time, skip warez no matter how great game is - you can't expect three months earlier a full game completely glanzed, ok?

    [​IMG] Hmm, interesting... Certainly doesn't LOOK more demanding than BG2. :D
    And anyway, as Extremist said, you can't base speed on a beta/demo copy.
