<div class="IPBDescription">WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!</div> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> I went out and bought this game called Iron Storm today and I get home install it and when I try and play the screen is all haywire.
The gam runs D3D but that shouldn;t be a problem for my card soooooo I go to the forum board to see if there something I can do about it and I read for about an hour about how many problems there are or this game.
Ok I'll admit every game has issues.
But when you go to General Disscusion and see all the same kind of posts it makes you think that maybe you bought an unfinished game.
I will never buy anything made from this company ever again.
If you wonder what my card is it's a GF4 64mb MX440.
It should run D3D just fine but of course the games engine sux ****.
Just to warn anyone out there thinking of buying any games made by Dream Catcher go to the games site and read the forum boards first before getting it.

    DirectX 9.0 is awful No software developers are touching it.
    You should have downloaded the Iron Storm demo before buying it <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
    I tried it and thought it was well below average, not worth forking
    out my hard-earned ??? for anyway.

    That’s really sad. Just because you had one bad experience with a company you will never buy anything from them again? You might as well say "Burger King forgot my fries, I'm never eating there again."

    Yeh Ion Storm and Gore both sucked, but what you have to remember Dreamcatcher is really new to the FPS business. Its primary source of income is form adventure games; I have several games from them in fact. If you want good games out of Dreamcatcher check out Syberia or The Longest Journey, both really top notch games. If you dont like Ion Storm then return it. Unless you are addicted to "run and gun" you will find the two games mentioned above very enjoyable. Try expanding your horizons a bit.

    It's not directX 9, just use older drivers for your vid card, the latest drivers aren't all that great. I'm using the 30.82 drivers and they work fine. www.download.com has those and older drivers.
