That machine barely makes the minimum specs required for the game. As such, you shouldn't run it with anything other than the defaults. There is no way around it. Also, thats not a gaming machine. Its the same rubbish specs they put in laptops. Just run something like 3DMark and you'll have your answer. And every single review on that machine tells you that the performance is rubbish. It is. It is a perfect gaming machine. For Peggle, browser games and the like.

uhm, well yeah - when the game is paused, its well, paused. Wait!! You're running the game at 1900x1200? Even though its not a top of the line gaming rig as you stated? Seriously? As RT said, post your rig specs. Regardless of your monitor's native resolution, you can run ANY app at ANY resolution. It does NOT have to be the monitor's native res. Which is why ALL games give you the option of changing the resolution. You should be running the game using the default res settings if your rig can't handle the higher resolutions.

It is a massive game, so running with everything on high is ill advised unless you have the horsepower to do that. When in doubt, don't mess with the default settings. Audio channels have nothing to do with performance hits because that just allows the audio to be processed on the card. If you have an on-board video card, you definitely want to leave the channels to 0. Apart from the fact that setting it to use hardware audio will cause it to drop some sounds when the card runs out of channels. When in doubt, leave it at 0. Running in a window is possible, unsupported and only for debugging purposes. Why would you even want to do that?

You all need to watch all three videos.

Maybe just a bad download.

I take it then that you re-installed and everything was fine?

Both of those indicate some tampering and/or a corrupted install. Which would explain why you could still play it. Or you could have corrupted sectors on your HDD to which files were copied during install.

The demo has just now been updated. Got to the first post in this thread for the updated links.

All of our games work with Vista, though our legacy (pre-Vista) are not officially supported. You will need an Administrator account to install and run our games. If your account is not an Administrator, you will need to locate the game EXE, right-click to go to the Properties and choose "Run as administrator". This also applies to download version as well or it won't install. In which case, locate the file you downloaded and run it is Administrator as well.

*moved* There is no tech support for freeware games. Please don't post in the tech support thread as there are no solutions nor updates for freeware games.

Meaning what? Anyway, using Byteshield for the demo tends to be a comedy of errors in some cases; but we are going to be releasing a new patch for the demo which removes Byteshield. It should have been up since last week but we were doing testing - then the holidays happened. Try another download site?

You can now follow us on Twitter for the latest news. Anything important that we post here, we will also post on Twitter. So, follow us and get all your friends to follow us as well!

I haven't see it yet, but this is freaking hilarious.

It will never happen.

Why do you need them and what exactly are you looking for? They are all documented in the FAQ.

Well, I'm stumped. I've alerted the Bytshield guys to do so maybe they can figure it out.

That is the correct procedure. So you may have a permissions issue on your Vista64 machine. If you look at the KB article in previous posts, it shows you how to get around that. Instead of the AAW.EXE, right-click on the AAWDEMO.EXE file and follow the instructions. I just tried it again uninstalled demo Installed 1.18.15 demo client Installed 1.18.23 demo patch Ran demo Selected "Already Signed Up", then typed in aawdemo for both user and password, clicked on "Login" The game downloaded the license and ran the 3000ad intro animation

Please show me the steps that you are using.

You cannot remap the ALT, SHIFT and CTRL keys as they are action keys.

Thats the only users/pw for the demo. I just tried it again and it works just fine. Has nothing to do with Vista64 because the game works just fine with both XP/Vista64 and Windows7. The key is that you have to follow the interface instructions exactly as stated. Also you need an Internet connection. So make sure you are connected to the Internet the first time you run it because it has to download the authentication file. And try turning off your anti-virus and firewall or add the AAW.EXE file to their exclusion list so that the program can connect to the Internet. If you get a warning that AAW.EXE is a virus/trojan, that is called a "false positive" and it being flagged as such due to the DRM signature in the file.

THe final demo update v1.18.23 is up. Just download and install over any pre-existing version. Includes an additional single player fp scenario.

Your OS installation seems to be missing a bunch of components. Go back to the KB article above and make sure you have installed everything mentioned there (e.g. .Net, Java etc). Also try starting it with the /no_intro parameter.

It works just fine with Vista 64. Did you go through all the steps in item #8 of the first KB article? A screen shot of the error might help. Also, what is your system configuration? cpu, memory, OS etc?
