Might want to post that on their boards so they see it.


And did you put that in the exit survey?

To all of those who are quitting, PLEASE put that in the exit survey. I did twice now


I'm really starting to believe that they are ignoring this on purpose to justify the eventual shutdown.

The only way that this makes sense is if some manager is doing it rather than the owners. The owners don't need an excuse to shut down AC, they can do that anytime they want.

Gee if I owned the license for I dunno D&D or LOTR... I'd sure be interested to know how this company deals with issues like this.


It might make me nervous that the company neglects their flagship games issues, what makes me think they will take care of my game properly.

and yet ONCE again you are mouthing off at ONLY TURBINE and not the board maker for doing NOTHING.


and you have absolutely zero proof they(turbine) are doing nothing, all you have is no fix. which is NOT proof of doing nothing. only proof of no success.

agnari - and HOW THE *EXPLETIVE DELETED* WOULD NVIDIA BE ABLE TO TEST THE CODE UNLESS TURBINE LET THEM HAVE ACCESS TO IT?


TURBINE WON'T ADMIT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. WON'T EVEN SAY THEY EVER WORKED ON IT. WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THAT FANBOI, TURBINE DOESN'T CARE. FRELORN HAS TIME TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT CHANGING PEOPLES POSTS COUNTS BUT AN ISSUE AFFECTING THIS MANY PEOPLE AND HE CAN'T MAKE 1 *EXPLETIVE DELETED* POST SAYING WE ARE WORKING ON IT.


THIS ISN'T A NEW PROBLEM, ITS OVER A YEAR OLD. TURBINE, THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE CODE THAT IS NOT PROPERLY RENDERING ON SOME GRAPHICS CARDS, WILL NOT ADMIT THEIR GAME HAS A *EXPLETIVE DELETED* FLAW.


SO TELL ME HOW I CAN GET NVIDIA TO FIX THIS, BY ALL *EXPLETIVE DELETED* MEANS GENIUS.

WE'VE POSTED ON NVIDIA BOARDS LOOKING FOR HELP.

WHAT MORE SHOULD WE BE DOING TO PROTECT POOR INNOCENT TURBINE FROM MY EVIL EVIL ASSAULTS.


THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO AFFECT 1 *EXPLETIVE DELETED* GAME, WHY THE *EXPLETIVE DELETED* WOULD NVIDIA DO ANYTHING UNTIL TURBINE APPROACHED THEM?


wubbie - stop telling me to shut up fanboi until you have a real solution or you lift a finger to make it better.

lets see


folks with a 4, 5, 6 or 7 series video card DON"T have the problem so YEAH it's stickly a turbine coding problem cause the 8 series is glitched. the dumbness of that logic is so retarded.


GET off turbine's back every rant OR start including a negative rant about the manufacture - casue without the card manufactor's code turbine can't fix it.

agnari, get off of wubbie's back!!


Wubbie's volunteered hour upon hour trying to find a solution to a problem that he wasn't even affected by. He does realize that this problem, left alone, only increases the numbers of accounts that are unsubscribed, thereby shortening the lifespan of AC, a game you apparently care about.


The problem with Nvdia 8800 series cards on AC affects maybe 0.01% of all Nvdia card owners, while it affects a MUCH larger percentage of AC users. To say that the problem is Nvdia's since AC works fine with older Nvidia cards is asinine. It is AC that hasn't adapted to new technology, new technology should not be hindered by AC. As wubbie has stated, Nvidia does not have access to Turbine’s source code, which makes it basically impossible for them to find a solution on their side without Turbines full involvement.


The ownership of this problem resides soley on Turbine. As wubbie has said multiple times, all Turbine has to really do is take one minute of one employees time and publicly state that they realize the problem still exists and that they're still researching it. This statement could be a blatant lie, but at least they're reciprocating communication on the subject. No, Turbine instead decides to put their combined heads in the sand, ignore the problem, and hope everyone forgets that it's an issue, most likely due to the problem is too difficult for them to correct with their current staff or not worth their investment of resources, as they see the dwindling profits AC produces.


Agnari, you seem to be attacking wubbie as if he's a hindrance to Turbine while he's actually attempting to correct a problem that is an actual deterrent to AC remaining a viable product. If you have nothing constructive to add to finding a solution to the problem, get off this thread!
