Thanks, yes, you would think, but I can play some other FPS games for hours. Possible the game has just started stressing this older machine, although the TLD performance isn't bad during play. Something about this game now, it's like "Nope!". Doesn't do that for anything else. (Gathering parts for a new desktop, so this puppy will be out to pasture anyway soon.) Happy Aurora Night!

I am crashing anywhere from 5-10 minutes into play. I had a good run at one point last night where it didn't crash for about 25-30 minutes. Still have no knife or axe. Sooooo that's fun. And I don't mean crash to desktop. Full-on reboot. I haven't played in a few months, so there might've been some updates that broke the game for me.

Originally I was worried about setting up Quonset as base. And yes, it provided some great stress during the two Wolves days. But the demon wolves were cool, killed quite a few, as I had 40 rounds for my rifle. But I kept my sleep to a minimum, so they had just respawned as the Aurora wolves came on. And those were fun, as Quonset does have a lot of lights to jump around the building to. Wasn't so bad! I only had two bullets left and I was worried Day 4 would have both bears and wolves and a blizzard, so I traveled up to the mine, tangled with three wolves, and made it to the buildings at the bridge at PV to see if I could find more bullets. I found ONE and used TWO getting there. The farm was just silly, as it was almost 11pm, and I got back without bumping into another wolf. And now I'm just chillin', listening to podcasts. No problems starting fires or temperature drops. Sometimes I go outside and wander around to make things interesting for a minute. Plenty of wood, candy bars and some mouldy wolf meat, and a pie was sitting on the Quonset cash register counter!
