I purchased Titan Quest Gold edition 5 days ago and installed Titan Quest. I have not yet installed Immortal Throne. This game comes with version 1.3, which I believe to be the final patched version.
I have noticed the following problems:
(1) Game will crash upon inserting disk into dvd drive, resulting in BSOD with some obscure error number. I solve the problem by rebooting computer, Titan Quest then starts up.
(2) Game will randomly crash to desktop with no error mentioned. This could be after a few hours of playing, nevertheless unacceptable.
(3) Game performance [i.e. frame rate] drops considerably after playing for about an hour. If I exit game and re-enter, frame rate is acceptable.
My PC exceeds the Minimum requirements to play this game:
WinXP Home SP2, P4 2.4 Ghz, 2GB Ram, Evga 7800GS AGP, PSU: 535w Enermax with combined +12v rails 34amps.
Ingame settings: 1024x768, all settings on LOW. No AA, no AF on nvidia control panel. I've played around with vertical sync and tripple buffering, doesn't seem to make a difference. I've ended any unnecessary processes hogging Ram etc.
This is unacceptable considering the Minimum requirements, yet any settings especially Detail setting will plummet the frame rate.
Yes, drivers have been updated including the latest Dx9.0c.
In summary, the performance of this game is unacceptable including the crashes and poor frame rates. According to the Recommended PC, my only component lacking would be a P4 3.0Ghz. That's fine, but surely I would be able to play at medium settings, considering all you supposedly require is a P4 1.8 to run the game on Low settings. This is the only game giving a frustrating experience.
I am utterly amused at people that reformat their hard drive, uninstall and reinstall the game and all drivers only to find out, after all that time and effort, it did not fix any of the game problems.
This is a product that after 3 official patches has essentially done nothing to improve upon the problems I and others are having with this game. I expect a game product to perform according to PC spec Required or Recommended. Failure across the board. Whoever designed this game and the subsequent patches should seek a new line of employment; coding games is obviously not their strong suit.
