if your copy is ligit, then make sure than any 'o's are not '0' or I as i or L as l, if you can understand that

on a side note ive just completed the solo single player and unlocked 'Dragonforce - Through the fire and the flames' and my hands are offically screwed up LOL my fingers have never worked so fast in ANY game before!!! ive had the song for a while on my PC but now i love it even more :)

yeah its legal, got it at gamestop yesterday. im just wondering if its on my end or someone else is having the same problem. should i go return it or contact the game company?

"The technical reason behind the high MSR's for a console port is that the technology of the latest generation consoles has actually surpassed the power of many typical user's home PC's. The main difficulty in porting Xbox 360 code to PC/Mac lies with Direct3D graphics rendering, the graphics code designed specifically for Xbox 360 that must be recreated to function for the PC/Mac."

Basically, what that means is that the bastards are too damn lazy to bother taking the time required to properly migrate the game to the PC platform. All they're doing is spending the least amount of money to have a halfassed pc version that they can sell for 50 bucks or whatever.. and people will buy. That's basically the purpose of all ports.. only a few select ports are well done, and those are the big games like Grand theft auto, which the companies spend a good amount of money on the porting process so it's not a crappily ported game.

The processor in your PC is well below the MSR's set for this title.

The technical reason behind the high MSR's for a console port is that the technology of the latest generation consoles has actually surpassed the power of many typical user's home PC's. The main difficulty in porting Xbox 360 code to PC/Mac lies with Direct3D graphics rendering, the graphics code designed specifically for Xbox 360 that must be recreated to function for the PC/Mac.

The biggest challenges, especially when setting MSR's for this product have been re-engineering graphics and shaders to the PC/Mac pipeline. In addition to the graphic-specific issues, the Xbox 360 code is designed for multi-threading all data across its three processing cores, so it can be challenging to efficiently redirect all that information to the single or dual core that comprises PC/Mac processing.

All current generation consoles (XBOX 360 and PS3) ports to PC have come with rather hefty MSR's. Guitar Hero III is a timing based game and, because of its unique game play, we feel that the current MSR's provide the best experience for our users.

Feel free to take whatever legal steps you feel are necessary, we have fulfilled all legal obligations by clearly placing the minimum requirements necessary to play this game on the box.

Shakey, I'll show you as much respect as the rules of this forum demand, but it's bloody obvious that you threatened them with legal action because you don't meet the requirements for the game.

You threatened to sue a company because you're computer isn't fast enough to run the game.

You're a moron, and lucky that Aspyr replied to you so polietely!

ya, im using fretts on fire with gh1, 2 , 80's, and 3 songs. It runs so much smoother and sounds the same, at least with gh mod i have for it.

The whole point though is, this game should run on my computer. They did a horrible job porting it. I saw the system specs, but i also played it on the 360. I used my common sense, which usually works well with every other pc game, and said, hey, this doesnt involve anything like crysis or cod or gow or lost planet. I know what my pc can do, and i know what sort of games it can run. This game should run on it, but because of their laziness, it wont. GoW recommends the same, but i can run that. Crysis has higher, i can run it. UT3 the same, i can run it. Lost planet, the same, but i can run it.

Companies keep putting things like this out. Hell, there is a picture on the box that shows it running on a little bitty laptop. Im still trying to find laptops that have 8600gt's in them to run it. lol.
