Matrix Games Forums

I finally got hi speed internet and downloaded the game, but it doesn't work. I'm 99.9% sure the problem is on my computer, but before I called tech support I thought I'd check. So,

1) What are the minimum specs to run the game? I have a PII 300 with 128MB ram and a 2MB video card, but I believe the card is not working properly (see # 2)

2) The problem, which occurs with virtually every game I try to play, happens when I click on the start game icon on the start screen. Then, a movie tries to play and my computer freezes up. I believe that if I could somehow skip the movie, the game would run. So, is there any way to go directly to the game without the opening movie?


Thanks for any help,

Chris: Welcome aboard...My way may work, can't lose anything....here goes...I open from a shortcut, as soon as SSI Logo appears, I hit space bar, a couple of flashes and a black screen comes up, (with cursor arrow in top left corner), after ~30 seconds the game choice screen comes up in all its Glory and away I go. By the way I've had to do this to all my SSI games except Silent Hunter. Maybe it will work for you. As far as minumum requirements I have less than you and it works. P2, w/2gig HD and 48M RAM. Machine is so old its got a roman numeral for a serial number and is autographed by B.
