Okay, I am not making a hate post for this game but I would like to like tell you guys on what happened to my PC on the very first few hours of my enjoyment of this game.
First, I start playing an hour after the servers were live and I enjoyed it. After 2 hours, it started graphically lagging like hell and when I decided to leave the driver dome, my PC just hanged. After restarting my PC, I resumed normal gameplay. I AFK'ed because I had to answer the door during a race. When I got back, the race just finished and the room owner kicked me out when I had my chance to explain my sudden stop. Just when I was kicked and I got the message, the music stopped and my PC hanged again. Now, when I open up my PC and let it start normally, I hear a clicking sound coming from my PC and it hangs after a few seconds. I am currently on safe mode right now and it seems that my hard drive (where I installed Drift City) seems to be failing when I tried to scan the hard drive itself. Here are my specs:
Intel P4 2.4 Ghz
GeForce FX 5500 256MB (with latest driver)
1GB RAM
Windows XP
120GB Samsung HDD
Connection:
512 KBps
Philippines
Connected via a Linksys Router
Although I have what it takes to play this game, why did it kill my hard drive? Please guys, I'm telling because I love the game but it seemed to have caused the damage (hanging for two time). This is a total shock to me.
