I finally got Stranger's Wrath to work after overcoming the "This game is currently unavailable" problem by installing
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).
But now I have more problems:
1) Cutscene Sound: Sound on the cutscenes runs for about 10 seconds, then starts stuttering while the video continues to play normally. Pausing the cutscene and resuming it makes the sound continue in sync with the video... For about another 10 seconds.
2) Terrible frame rate: Even on its lowest resolution, Stranger runs like a dog on this machine - about 6-9 FPS, which makes it unplayable.
Something to do with my specs, perhaps?
I don't really understand why, this thing runs games such as World of Warcraft and Portal that are, in theory, more resource demanding than Stranger should be
considering the original Xbrick was about half as slow as my dinosaur computer.
My Specs:
(Yeah, yeah, I need to upgrade and that - Should be enough for Stranger though)
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
Processor: 2.17 GHz AMD Athlon XP 3000+
Graphics Card: Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
RAM: 1.00 GB
Have DirectX 9.0c.
Many thanks. Oh and JAW devs, if you are reading this: Thanks for at least porting the games to PC, I have faith that you'll get them working somehow, you've given these games a new lease of life by making them more available than they previously were. Thanks for being responsive at least - people have been incredibly rude to you. Don't take it to heart, and keep up the good work.
