Hi All
I downloaded the game no problem. It activated no problem. The problem I have is that the game opens to the dinosaurs and goes no furthur after a few seconds the game shuts down and returns to my desktop. Any idea's how to fix it. Really want to try this game.
Thanks
Michelle
Hi- I'm having the same problem. I tried to uninstall it and use the mirror link but there was a problem with it (something about a broken zip?). I love these games and really want this one too!! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance

Hello, ladies!
I installed it just to see if I got the same problem, but it works fine on my system. WinXP SP2. Maybe it's something to do with your system config? Neither one of you mentioned what you run on your computers... Might be a DirectX problem or something of that nature. Why not review what the system requirements are for the game, and at least eliminate any problem like that??
I have winxp sp2. I've never had a problem before downloading games from here. I upgraded directx to 9.0. I tried the mirror link again to get it "real" message and it says The Compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted. Now what... and please use regular language cuz I'm not very computer-smart! LOL
Thanks again!!
Janie
I just tried both download links for the game, and both work very well for me. I really do not know what to tell you now.
I suspect that a Mod will be along shortly, and have better suggestions for you. That's why they get the big bucks! :-)
Hi I am using WinXP SP2 and don't usualy have problewms with this sites games.
Michelle
It has to be something with the system configuration. Installed and is running fine on my laptop, by my son's pc also goes blank right after the initial screen. We restarted pc, but to no avail. It simply won't start the game.
If anybody finds a fix, please post.

I have no problem running this program either, but I did notice that it makes a "log.htm" file in the "Application Data\TERMINAL Studio\The Rise of Atlantis" folder. Some of you who are knowledgeable enough might be able to read that and determine what is causing the error.
Well spotted - the full path of the log file on my PC was
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Terminal Studio\The Rise of Atlantis
** If the game isn't working try to get the contents of that file and post in here.

Get the extra information mentioned about your video card and include that also.
Hi Here is the log file from rise of atlantis Also my graphics card is Rage Fury Pro/Xpert 2000 Pro and supports directX 6.0 Guess I need to update my graphics card. First time I have had this problem.

Without even needing to read through the log file - if your video card is only capable of DirectX 6 operations (in hardware) some games might make up with the shortfall by emulating the missing features in software. Maybe this game doesn't attempt any software emulation. So if the video card isn't at least DirectX 8.0 or higher with Video: 32 MB - the game will not run.

tvgk - can you read this http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2216
Get the extra information mentioned about your video card and include that also.
fifogigo - not sure. Timing issues can be notoriously difficult to track down. Some other games I have (older games) just run at erratic speeds on Dual Core Processors. Changing some settings (Processor Affinity - to only permit one core to be used, fixes the games in this case).
Perhaps we can get the developers to look at this topic - and with some of the issues explained - and some willing users who want to provide some useful feedback maybe we can help squash some bugs.
I'm having the same problem mentioned already -- dinosaur pic, then back to desktop. The computer has a 32 mg graphics card, and I'm running Direct X 8.1. Here's the log file, let me know if anyone can help!

and look at the results of running GPU-Z. I think your video card isn't capable of supporting DirectX 8.1 (shown in GPU-Z as "DirectX Support").

Ye got to raise yo' shields of ye plan to beam up materials from Atlantis!
If ye'll pardon me sayin' so - If the planet's overrun with dinosaurs, the lad would do better to just dial out through the Stargate directly to the Pegasus Galaxy and visit Atlantis in person.
