Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / April 2008Prey won't load... help!
I've tried the 3drealms Prey forum without response. Perhaps someone here can help me. I bought Prey from Steam on that irresistible $5 deal. But I can't even get to a splash screen. On my Q6600, I get that "preparing to load Prey" message, that goes away, and then nothing. If I now open up task manager, I note that Prey is using about 18MB of RAM, and 24-27% of CPU. I'm running: Win XP Pro x64 edition Intel Q6600 2GB RAM 8800GT graphics with 169.21 drivers I've tried running in XP, Win2000, even Win98 compatibility mode. I've tried setting it to run in a window, as suggested in one old forum post (command line parameter). I've tried setting it to 640x480 in the program properties. I've disabled the firewall. I've deleted local content and reinstalled. No joy -- I never see any kind of splash screen, it just sits there at about 15% CPU and 18 or 8MB RAM (depending on whether I launch through Steam or from the prey.exe icon). Any other ideas? Try allowing it in your firewall, it connects to the net every time you run it, perhaps that is what is preventing it running? >I've tried the 3drealms Prey forum without response.

Legion, I was pretty sure I had the right driver. Just confirmed. Oh, well... it plays on my laptop, but that's not near as much fun. thomas. |
