all other games work fine, jedi knight 3 and such, its just tony 4 is really slow in places and ive turned off all the options, os its 640x480 running nothing, i thought it was a bad crack but i havent heard any body complaining, anyone else??

what video card have you got?

It runs fine on my 1300AMD,512pc2700 DDR ram,Geforce4mx440 128mb card.I got it from suprnova when it was released.

it works great on my gforce fx 5200. just if i turn it to highest, it lags a tiny bit

its slow for me but i have a computer which is under the minimun requirments so i cant complain

I know there are some requirements they dont list, and also you may just have a crappy rip of the game.

yea, the rip has had many problems. get the razoo 1911 2 cd version. that 1 works. most of the larger bins or nrgs or other images usually work much much better than rips. sexy beach 2 rip was fuck. the real 1 is supposed to be good.

it is the razor 911 release of tony 4, it might be my card, im getting a 5600 soon so that might cure it :P its full bins not a rip

ya migh tas well get the 5900..... :D

why dont u give me the next £200 add on for it :P

Theres some draw distance option or a fog option that needs to be turned on (so draw distance is limited). Fps are clean and nice once i did that.

wat vd card do u have? i play it without fog and it runs like a breeze

Geforce 4 mx 440 64mb, but im running a 1ghz processor, so meh :( I get around 50 fps+ with fog, but without it im running around 15fps, some people can stand it, but i cant.

i know it was a long time but if i disabled my soundcard it works :P, bloody hell, so i need to get new drivers for my creative card :P hope this helps anyone else

Try this version of it http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=67724

from ign's review:

"You could take a screenshot of Hawk 4, place it next to one from Hawk 3, and think that the game hadn't changed much visually. For the most part you'd be right. The character models are a little more refined the textures are a bit improved overall, but there are no major differences. The only real problem graphically is keeping a solid frame rate. We reviewed the game on a 3.2GHz machine with a 5900 Ultra and it still stuttered frequently. Turning off the anti-aliasing and enabling environment fog got things moving more smoothly, but it still slowed down during several scenes - at 1024 x 768 no less. During action in an especially large environment, e.g. the roof of a building on the College level, the frame rates suffered noticeably. This is simply unacceptable. Incidentally, several of the challenges are very difficult with the fog turned on. For example, you will have a hard time finding the "A" in S-K-A-T-E if it's obscured by mist."

th4 is completely different from th3. the total environment is different and better in my opinion.
i havent read the whole thread just this page, correct me if wrong

i think what that review is saying, is that the quality of the graphics hasn't changed much, but the minor improvements combined with the much larger levels causes the game to slow down on even the best modern PCs. so it will be a while before people own computers that are fast enough to run the game smoothly with all of the settings cranked up.

It runs fine on my pc and its not the best or most modern Pc.

Heyy thakns for that system requirements... I tink I cant buy this game now...
