incompatible hard-disk requirements

[Lia Dewaide]

Dear Gamers,

Today I've bought Gorasul amd immidiately it starts with this problem. The game mentioned that you'll need 600 MB of hard-disk space. I've a 1,6 G harddisk with 1,3 free disk space; so the game should work according to the requirements. But the fact is that it needs 1300 MB for installing (for both the Typical and Custom Install; full requires 2400 MB). So if I start the game, he will give the message that the disk is out of space.

Is this an Info probem or should something be fixed because of some kind of error?
Help needed.
Thank you very much in advance.

I suggest that if you plan on playing RPG's that you save your money and buy a 20GIG or 40GIG hard drive for your system.
you can pick them up for $80.00 to $150.00.
I have found that most RPG and Action adventure games require from 1.2 to 2.8 GIG's of open hard drive to keep the games from crashing. I know that 80 to 150 dollars can be alot to many people so look in the penny saver type news papers you find at 7/11 liquor stores. I have seen Hard Drives for sale as low as $40.00 for a 20GIG HD.
I picked up a 60GIG HD for $95.00 last augest and added to the
8GIG I already had in my computer. also watch the T.V. for the
Computer shows that come to all the different cities and when a
show comes to a city near you GO TO IT. This last june I went to one near my home in northern Virginia and picked up an IBM tower with a duel pentium II 450 MHz processors for $175.00 including keyboard, mouse, display and a windows 98 second edition disk plus a two year warranty.
So far It has worked great for playing GORASUL and I haven't found any bugs and it has never crashed with any of the Baldurs Gate games and I have them all but for now I'm enjoying GORASUL I got it for a Christmas presant and until tonight I've been playing from 6:00 PM until well past 12:00 AM every night
so Good luck and hope you get to play it.

Hello Lia!

Gorasul really needs this 1.3 GB for the "small" installation. But Windows uses additional disc space for the swap file, so there's definetely some more disc space needed. I think, TheCrimsonBlade's suggestion to pick up a cheap additional hard drive is quiet a good idea.
