Blasted Rise of Nations

Post by Lord MJ »

I recently had to replace a malfunctioning graphics card with an older one, which works perfectly fine for everything else. But now when I try to play RON, it says my card is not supported!!

Damn Microsoft making a game that is incompatible with basic PC hardware!!! :x

Whats your current card? did you try updating drivers for the correct card?

On my old card, I believe it said drivers do not support RON.

On this card it said that this is an unsupported video card.

It was a good card in it's day but today it is virtualy obsolete. You need a new card.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

That is embarassingly ancient. Even if by some miracle they did try and support such an old fossil, the game would run like a slideshow. Don't blame them. :lol:

Ok, how much do good graphics cards run these days?

The one I had was great, but then it malfunctioned so bad that it crashed Windows whenever I played DVDs.

That one, and the "fossil" I have now are PCI cards. I do have another card that plugs into a different kind of slot on the motherboard (don't know what the slot is called, smaller than a PCI.) But that doesn't seem to work at all, I don't think the motherboard is picking it up.

Basic graphic cards today can be found for 50$ or 100$ or any price range.

The other slot is called AGP, its specificly for graphic cards.
