Wheel of Time Playable Demo

by Steve Gibson Nov 12, 1999 5:03pm CST tags: Wheel of Time, Demo
Well here it is guys, the playable demo of Wheel of Time from Legened Entertainment. The FilePlanet guys scored the download but I'm sure it will be bogged shortly, feel free to share any mirrors you guys get. The demo is a big nasty 73.5 megs so go take a trip to the bahamas or something and come back. Havent really heard any opinions of the game from players just yet aside from D3D problems which should be fixed later today.

Wheel of Time D3D Problems

by Maarten Goldstein Nov 12, 1999 8:51am CST tags: Wheel of Time
The World of Dreams guys saw a reply from Legend's Matthias Worch to this thread, which has someone who just picked up Wheel of Time complaining about Direct3D performance on his PIII-500. This is indeed a problem, here's what Mattias had to say:

Some D3D machines seem to have problems, we're working on fixing it (there might be a fix soon). In the meantime, try setting your Windows desktop to 16bit and turn detail textures off. Maybe that helps. Sorry for the inconvenience (god, does that sound dumb), it sucks for us, too - we want everybody to be able to play the game, too

So how about that demo huh? Should be up today, so you can check D3D performance on your PC.

Wheel of Time Out

by Steve Gibson Nov 12, 1999 4:34am CST tags: Wheel of Time
The Wheel of Time game from Legend Entertainment should be arriving in stores just about everywhere today. A lot of information has been popping up around the net with the release. Here are a few places you can grab screenshots of the game: Unreality Evil Avatar and AVault. Thanks Lowtax. Has anyone gotten a hold of the game yet? What do you think? I'm wondering if it's worth picking up or not. The screenshots sure are purty.

GT has put the Wheel of Time FAQ online, and Gamefan has a few new screenshots. Now after that server patch yesterday, all we have to do is to wait for the game to actually show up in stores huh?

by Steve Gibson Nov 10, 1999 10:14pm CST tags: Wheel of Time, Demo
A quick folllow-up to that WoT patch a couple of hours ago, Matt over at Legend posted a couple of comments that should interest you guys. Firstly the patch only applies to running dedicated servers from the in game menus (not the console) and secondly, the WoT demo is scheduled for release this friday! You can check out the WoT news page for details, and they also posted this image of the demo endscreen.

Wheel of Time Patch?

by Steve Gibson Nov 10, 1999 8:07pm CST tags: Wheel of Time
Not sure how this one worked out but even though you can't get Wheel of Time on shelves just yet (a day or two more) AVault already has a patch ready for the dedicated servers. So if you're anticipating running a WoT server you might as well snag the patch to be ready. Thanks VE

Wheel of Time Demo Status

by Steve Gibson Nov 08, 1999 2:17am CST tags: Wheel of Time, Demo
The everpresent Swedish Chef sent word of this post by Sam Brown of Legend stating that we should be getting our grubby hands on the Wheel of Time demo any day now. Something to keep us occupied until the big double release of Q3/UT at least eh? :)

The demo is about done, we're just trying to cull some more textures and sounds to get the download size down.

Wheel of Time

by Steve Gibson Nov 03, 1999 1:27pm CST tags: Wheel of Time
As many of you guys probably know, Wheel of Time went gold on the 22nd of last month. The Wheel of Time website is now updated with that information as well as a bit of a diary on the events that went along with it. It's a pretty darn long update and if you read it really slow by the time you're done that CD you pre-ordered might arrive at your door!
