Hello all. I've decided to transfer my stuff from my PS3 (As far as BL goes) to the PC so I can play with the majority of the players on the wiki. However, I installed the game, plus all DLCs. That's OK. Whenever I try to start the game, my PC goes into overdrive and gets stuck on the splash screen. HELP PLEASE.
I'm updating/downloading my video drivers now. Maybe that will help. 23:29, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
Didn't help. PC still frying itself. Tried a user made patch. Didn't help. I'm officially raging. This is unacceptable. 23:42, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
Is this on a clean install, or have you already copied the data from the PS3 onto the PC? Since the two systems have different endian formats (PS3 MIPS is big-endian, Intel is little-endian), I wouldn't expect the PC to be able to run a PS3 savefile natively. Willowtree can edit a PS3 savefile because it's smart enough to swap integer bytesex where necessary. Daemmerung 00:58, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
It's a clean install. I tried to install the game to my slave drive. That didn't work. So I uninstalled it and am re-downloading it and am gonna install it on the C: drive. It's the game itself giving me problems, not the savedata. I thought that there was a utility in WT 2.1 that let you save to a different format though? 01:02, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
If WT can read a savefile in an alien format, then it might well be able to write it out in a different format. Not really enough information about your system to make any further guesses. "Downloading" - is this Steam? "Slave drive" - you're running old IDE? OS, video, RAM, processor? Mobo? Other PC games that this system has successfully hosted? Daemmerung 01:07, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
I've got this. http://www.amazon.com/G73JW-A1-Republic-Gamers-17-3-Inch-Gaming/dp/B0041RRS0I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300497122&sr=8-1
Asus G73-JWA1
It's run Mass Effect 1&2, SC2, mirror's edge, Left 4 dead 2 and Dead Space ALL without issue and on maximum settings. When I was trying to get ME2 to run, I had to install their (Bioware's) version of PhysX, but other than that it's run everything perfectly. 01:14, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
EDIT: It's from D2D, not steam. 01:15, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
Huh, should be fine. Looks burlier than my laptop, which successfully runs BL and Dead Space. But what's that "slave drive," again? You've got a 1TB main drive. I predict that once you have it on C: you'll be golden. Daemmerung 01:21, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
I've got two 500 GB HDs. 1TB total storage. The "master" drive is the one with the OS. The "slave" drive is the one that's extra storage used for anything you want. I'm trying again now. 01:27, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
IT WORKS. AND LOOKS BETTER THAN IT DOES ON MY PLAYSTATION. 01:33, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
Sounds like D2D prepackaged it with a C: assumption. Bad D2D, bad! Glad you got it working. Go pull up some of your favorite weapons and see how pretty they now are.... Daemmerung 01:38, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah. Very annoying. I like my C: to contain the OS and my massive wallpapers folders. That's it. I'll be using Steam next time. I'm just installing all the DLC, gonna defrag and disk cleanup, then try and get my savefile working. Maybe I'll get one of them fancy inventory pages like all the cool kids have. 01:48, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
I feel your pain. Think of BL as now part of the OS. Daemmerung 01:57, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
I'm a PC, and Windows Pandora was my idea. 02:03, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
