Titan Quest

[Vince53]

Is anyone else here a fanatical Titan Quest/Immortal Throne player. By the way, I installed it yesterday on my new Windows 7 computer and it runs fine.

Played it back in the day. Was pretty awesome!

I can see that we have some high-class game players on this forum.

I just ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser, and it says that TQIT is incompatible with Windows 7. I've been playing it for almost a week and have had no problems.

I loved it big fan

Very fun game, except my particular version became unstable and would force close on me sometimes, but I'm pretty sure why.

I miss that game. I stopped playing because of the bad lag after reaching higher levels. Is that still an issue, or am I the only one? I remember people having many posts regarding that issue. So there's no problem with it running in Win 7?

Thanks

GRB70, most of those lag problems disappeared as people got more powerful computers. A problem with TQIT is that it was on the cutting edge of its time. Most computers had problems handling it.

installing right now, ty

Seriously? Titan Quest?
I remember that I was hyped about playing it... until I actually played it... Grind grind grind grind loot loot loot sell sell sell, that's about it.

No different from the average action RPG; what were you expecting? Do some research before buying games. If review sites leave a too-strong corporate sponsored flavour in your mouth, there's always YouTube where people routinely upload actual gameplay videos. Nowadays the only way to get burned from buying something you didn't expect is either through laziness to do research + hasty preordering, or the game is too obscure to find decent reviews for.

Back on topic... for you guys who've played so much you can name the Acts in your sleep, check out the various Lilith mod + masteries mod pairings. Lilith basically replaces the entire game's maps. 100% all new areas from start to finish, it's like a completely new game or sequel. The masteries mods (Paths, Masteries, Asylum, Underlord) just for something new, because no doubt you've played out all the vanilla character classes by now.

And yeah, TQ's lag is due to the engine; with better hardware now it's not a problem - unless your gaming rig is pre-2008. Should have no problems with win7 x64 if your drivers are current.

Trucidation, I love the Lilith mod and have played it with several different characters. But I ws noever able to get the masteries mods to work.

 

[Trucidation]

Hmm, sorry to hear that - I pretty much just dived right into Lilith Paths and had no problems. The other masteries mods seemed more of upgrades and tweaks; Paths is a total rewrite, which is why I picked it to go along with Lilith.

LILITH Battles of Jalavia : PATHS Edition

Have fun!

Any new game similar with Titan Quest?

I'm not sure I follow you. Is the Paths edition different than the regular Lilith mod?

 

[Vince53]

Nii-San, you are my one true friend. I downloaded and installed the Paths Edition with no problem. I feel that the old masteries are superior to the new ones, but it does put a new spin on the game.

 

[Vince53]

The Paths edition is working greet! I feel that the new masteries are not as good as the old ones, but they do add some variety to the game.

I'm at the same point (the dread path, lvl 36) and this is like running it on a PIII, choppy and laggy as trying to play on a PIII. That's why I stopped playing at first and I have an i7 processor with a GTX 570. Does anyone know why it;s doing this and have any suggestions?

thank you,

GRB70

Is Titan Quest one of those browser based games, or is it like a regular boxed versions? Is it singeplayer, or is it multiplayer based only? If so, is it free to play?
