Alright, I'm going to try this game too. Is it a big download? Edit: oh only 976 Mb. That's not that much. The speed I'm getting is horrible though. Only 400 - 450 Kb/s I normally download at 5.7 Mb/s. :( Edited by Ghost, Sep 27 2012, 07:34 AM.

No no, it's fine! I don't mind having a conversation on here, and it isn't really off-topic since we're still talking about theHunter :) In fact, I intended this thread to be for talk about the game (and hunting in general) along with a place for me to show off my trophies, so no worries :) We're not going to be as strict on this forum about going off-topic anyways. Hmm. It sounds like the game just shuts off on you as soon as you start it, without even reaching the main menu. Go ahead and try reinstalling it and let me know if you have the same problem. Is there any chance you got a confirmation email after all? Maybe it won't let you hunt until you've confirmed your profile? When I started my new account for the premium membership it took a little while for the confirmation email to reach my inbox, and I actually logged into my profile and did some things before it shut me out due to not having confirmed my account. I'm not sure if the confirmation email is only for premium memberships, but it might be a good idea to check your email (if possible) just in case :) It was ages ago that I started my free account so I don't remember. Edit: :O Ghost, you too?? Awesome!! Yes, it's a pretty big download. It takes quite a while for it to download and install initially, just ask Canis :P Probably about an hour or two. But after that the game has almost no loading time at all except for about fifteen seconds when you first start it up. Edit again: Ah, maybe it isn't a huge file but just takes a while for it to install. I'm not entirely sure how it works. I wonder how long it'll take before Eric comes over to out side too? xD |

Well, I haven't received any email since I made my account. (Sorry about accidently declining your request earlier! I meant to hit accept, but my finger must have slipped :P ) But I'll try installing it again, maybe something went wrong. Either that or my computer just can't handle it right now. |

Haha, no worries! I accepted your request and wrote you a message. As for your computer, when will you be getting your "actual" laptop? I'm eager to hear what you think about the game so i'm wondering when I can expect you to have it up and running :P |

Ah, long story :P Since I've never actually owned a laptop since recently, I always used our "Family" computer. (Technically, I was the only one that ever used it). So, decisions came and went about what was going to happen. Since I'm now doing my GCSE's, I've been getting a lot more homework plus coursework, and trying to get it done on the computer in a room full of noises is a bit distracting. My dad recently got his MacBook to replace his old laptop, which got passed to my sister, and so I've received her old laptop. It's old and a little slow, but it will have to do until I get my actual laptop, the one I've been promised. I guess you could call this my temporary laptop, but I'm not too sure how long it will be until I get my real laptop, so I'm making do with this one right now. My views on the matter of Trophy Hunting I've always been an advocate for animal protection and preservation. Yet at times, you get this... Urge inside of you to release built up violence. You need to take your strength out on something. This is where I find satisfaction, through hunting games. I would never go Trophy Shooting in real life, yet it's a different matter through computer games. If I was out in a forest, lost, and I had a gun on me, I would quite happily shoot a Deer with no regrets at all. I would use it's meat for food, pelt and skin for clothing and warmth, and antlers (If it was a buck), hooves and bones for weapons. The thing I don't really agree with is Hunting for satisfaction, without using the body for anything. I know some people here hunt, and I can totally respect their views and opinions on the matter. But I, as a person myself, would never shoot something just to mount it's head on a wall and say, I've killed this animal in cold blood. (<<PLEASE do not hold this sentence against me. It is only my view on the matter, and I do not wish to inflict a fight with anyone here. I do not wish to cause any offense to anyone) As I've said before, I respect people who do go out and hunt, just as you respect anyone. People that know me instantly can recognize me as an animal-lover. And when they hear I play games such as theHunter, they're shocked. But why should they? They probably play games that involve killing living things too. I just choose my path differently. Now, for my expectations of the game :) After watching countless videos on YouTube of this game, I have pretty high expectations. For instance, this game is unlike any other hunting game I've seen before. The landscape is huge, vast, and so highly detailed. And then you have to track the animals. They don't just appear before you, like most hunting games, you have to track them. Then keep quite. Go in for the perfect shot. And then you have the chance of only injuring them. It's so real, it's almost unreal in the game world. I can't wait to play it. (IF I can play it) |

Oh come on? It's still happening, it just shuts it down as soon as I start it :/ Ghost: Aww xD Now you are to blame for my ruined childhood lol :P Edit: So I looked on the Issues page, and I looked under "Launcher disappears" It told me to download this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851 It says uninstall or replace. If I click replace, will it change my computer in any way? '-' Edited by The Seal, Sep 27 2012, 09:42 AM.

Replacing won't do you computer any harm. |

Are you absolutely sure, I mean 100%? It won't change anything? Sorry I'm being so cautious, I just don't want anything to change drastically on my laptop '-' |

I'm 100% sure it won't mess up your laptop. It will just update your NET framework to the latest version. |
