Title: Misleading Technical Requirements
Review: I really enjoyed both Myst and Riven, and so was excited to buy Exile. However, I have had nothing but trouble trying to play the game: initial refusal to load, crashes, freezes. Though I checked the hardware requirements before purchase and patiently waited for the patches, I was recently told by Ubisoft tech help that I must purchase a 3D video card in order to play the game. The requirements in the user manual state that a 3D video card is optional. The experience has been very disappointing, not just because I so looked forward to playing the game, but because now I feel turned off from the whole series. Ubisoft really should have made an effort to make the game compatible with more machines and more video and sound cards.
