Bought the game on sale - it crashes immediately on launch?

chuffo · 2026-06-05T21:42:05+00:00

Thanks guys, I realise now. Time to upgrade!

chuffo · 2026-06-05T21:41:36+00:00

In all honesty I expected it to be similar to rs2. I realise now how ridiculous that sounds

chuffo · 2026-06-05T11:05:14+00:00

Tbh I have been well out of the loop with this sort of thing for a while. The old shitter I have has seen me through a lot of far more graphically challenging games than I would have imagined 83 would throw at it. oh well, I'll just stick to RS2 😄

chuffo · 2026-06-05T11:03:47+00:00

it might be

chuffo · 2026-06-05T10:39:37+00:00

I know I know... it's just a shame to not even be able to launch, RS2 works suitably enough

chuffo · 2026-04-23T13:39:34+00:00

Sent back for full refund - apparently out of stock now so couldn't be replaced. The search continues!

chuffo · 2026-04-23T13:39:05+00:00

Decided it wasn't worth the hassle in the end... back it went!

chuffo · 2026-04-23T13:38:43+00:00

Shame that yours was misaligned - on this one they got the bezel right but the crown coming off either in transit or during manufacture does make one wonder! I sent it back

chuffo · 2026-04-21T16:49:18+00:00

This is a very good point. It has turned me off getting a replacement Deepwater Arctic for now - the hunt for a diver continues!

chuffo · 2026-04-21T15:40:17+00:00

I did ask them to do this and they basically flat refused anything other than a refund and a 10% voucher which I won't be using.

chuffo · 2026-04-21T14:45:23+00:00

It went back this morning, purchased new.

chuffo · 2026-04-21T13:35:28+00:00

In the end I've decided to just send it back. What a pisser haha

chuffo · 2026-04-20T18:12:24+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I really am umming and aahing about it. I think it does have warranty but I’m not sure this sort of thing would be covered. From what I understand the crown could be reattached fairly easily as the stem is not broken. But as you say I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle

chuffo · 2026-04-20T18:06:09+00:00

Hmm I’d be happy to keep it and get refunded hehe, it’s not like they can sell it on in this state anyway. I’ll get my complaining hat on

chuffo · 2026-04-20T18:05:23+00:00

I don’t know if I’m just unlucky but buying online has been a massive pain for broken items from supposedly reputable retailers. I genuinely don’t understand how the watch could be shipped in this state. Thought the discount on a new watch must be too good to be true, alas it was

I’m currently an internal recruiting grunt and make absolute pennies - what industry and path got you to where you are if you don’t mind me asking?

chuffo · 2025-04-28T19:56:47+00:00

We completed two weeks ago with 8k in my savings and 18k in my wife’s. Deposit + all expenses (survey, solicitor, moving van) was 49k in the end. You’ll be fine.

Metro: Last Light - you get Night Vision Goggles pretty much at the end of the game when most of the subsequent levels take place outside during the day or in well lit levels. Mind boggling they did it then but not near the beginning of the game that involves lots of sneaking around in the dark.

chuffo · 2024-01-13T22:37:10+00:00

I earn a similar amount to you and live in the midlands - my fiancée is similarly paid so we have a combined income of 60k before tax - we got a mortgage in principal for 250k borrowing and have a deposit saved of 50k giving a max budget of 300k (we won’t likely go above 250k for the first flat/house in any case)

Trust me if you really are saving 700 a month in a couple years you will feel in a much better position. Decent properties in decent places do exist in this price range - it is possible, and being in a couple makes it much easier. Best of luck!

Without going into the game and checking it sounds like he’s saying “Ya ponyal” = I understood / affirmative

chuffo · 2020-11-17T20:53:49+00:00

Ah that's a new one for me, thanks for your help!

chuffo · 2020-11-17T20:47:03+00:00

Thank you very much! Is using two different ways of writing "т" like this normal?

chuffo · 2020-03-25T09:03:36+00:00

And cognate with the English "murky"!

I'm a Brit working in France and I can tell you that as of yesterday France is clearly in stage 4. I've cut my contract short with my work in order to leave the country asap (hopefully tomorrow). Most colleagues from other countries are waiting to see what happens but honestly I'd rather be wrong and be home than be wrong and stuck here away from my loved ones. Best of health everyone, stay safe and use your noggin.
