Looks quite promising

What version are you running (1.3?)

What happens if you bump the quality setting down?

I'm not a greedy man. At least, I like to think I'm not. I try hard to be content with what I have, including the bounty of gaming options before me. And when it comes to The Secret World, I find that I have plenty to be thankful for.
I have a wonderful cabal that gathers together once a week for a riotous good time. I'm still in love with TSW's atmosphere and story well over a year after its launch. I adore the game's wardrobe options and can't stop playing dress-up with my Templar. I find the intellectual aspects of the missions and builds stimulating. I even get to write about all of this right here on Massively.
So don't take the following wish list as a lack of contentment. I'm really happy with the game as it is, but as with any gamer, there are always desires and wants that rise unbidden into my consciousness while I play. I recognize that Funcom has its hands very full as it tries to create as much content as it can with a reduced team, but that's not going to stop me today from wishing out loud for a few quality of life improvements for 2014.Continue reading Chaos Theory: My modest Secret World wish list

What are your present sound settings in the game? (Screenshots if possible)

RE
but i think without T&L Support will the Game not Start Correct
but i have not overall this Graphic Errors , just when ill see Water or Light , in the First Mission Maroco Scene 1 no Graphic Errors
They could try different settings for the graphics or make sure they have the latest driver for their video etc.
I'd also suggest running the game in compatibility mode if using Windows Vista, 7 or 8. (use Windows XP in the compatibility mode)

Hi ALL and Happy New Year
i have Exactly the Same Problem like Billy
i have an Intel Celeron G1610 but im not sure with Series from Intel HD Graphics
i have all try Comp. Mode WinXP SP3 still Graphic Errors
i have Nolf Goty get from here and try this under Win8/8.1
the Mouse Lag or Mouse Stutter i could fix with Disable the Music in the Launcher
so looks that for me
Unfortunately these games required a video card that supports hardware T&L. Most of the Intel onboard graphics more than a couple of years old do not. Not sure about the latest onboard offerings.

Greetings! I bought the No One Lives Forever: The Operative, Game of the Year Edition. I loved NOLF 2 but never played the original. Hope that I can eventually!
The game appeared to install perfectly on my system. When I run the game, the Launch screen appears, and when I click “Launch” the NOLF performance settings come up. But, the game won’t run. When I select any of the options, a little black box appears in the middle of the screen. The Windows Task Manager says “Program not responding.”
I have an older Alienware laptop computer running a 64 bit version of Windows Vista.
Can someone tell me, do I need to download and apply the patches? Is the Game of the Year version patched to the 1.04 version already? Note that I have not yet tried the solution Elite One posted regarding installing the game on a 64 bit Windows system (at the beginning of this topic). I want to make sure the game is patched correctly before I do so.
Thank you in advance for your help!
You would need to apply the patches still.
Also on Vista I would recommend running it in compatibility mode.

by the way, I have not tried it yet, but will NOLF 2 work fine my laptop at least?
If your laptop video supports it.

Christmas 2013 -- it's quite a different experience in The Secret World than in other MMORPGs. Instead of offering some colorful cutesy characters based on the jolliest aspects of the season, TSW's festivities draw on the darkest parts of our lore to bring you a Christmas devil, a demoness, and undead Mayans. The only carol you hear is a twisted Jingle Bells whispered in the hellish Niflheim dimension, though wave after wave of horny Hel jokes fill the air. But even with all the differences, one thing is definitely the same: the stress of running around trying to get things done in time!
As much as I am grateful that a form of last year's End of Days event has returned (I did ask for it after all), the fact that there are three events -- A Mother of a Season, Ever-Ending Days, and Whispering Tide -- happening simultaneously is a bit overwhelming. Add the whole real-life part of the holiday season to the evil RNG, and I am truly scrambling to complete my holiday wish list of pets, achievements, and apparel. I am even struggling to get the lore. (And you know that makes for a very unhappy MJ!)
Luckily, the holiday events don't end until January 2nd, so I am going to make a push to finish up as much as I can. If you happen to be in the same boat, here are a few hints to help wrap it all up. If, however, you are one of those people who got everything done early, feel free to skip to the end where I have penned a more appropriate take on a holiday favorite in honor of the season. Hopefully it will become a new cherished tradition!Continue reading Chaos Theory: Cramming your Krampus in before TSW's holidays end

Those of you hosting NOLF2 and Contract Jack servers using our server browser service you will need to restart your servers for them to be reported by the SFI master server service as I had to restart it earlier.

The other day I posted a Daily Grind here on the site that asked about NPC factions that are, in effect, a total joke. I used the example of the Orochi from The Secret World, which got one commenter's ire up. He said it was "insulting" that I was singling this out this organization, and I assume that I'm no longer on his Christmas card mailing list.
Defensiveness aside, I think I have a pretty good case here that the Orochi are, well, almost laughable. Just about everywhere you go in the game, you encounter their corpses, burning vans, busted camps, crashed planes, and botched excavations. As a friend put it, they're like well-funded kids who go into a military zone with professionals and end up like you'd expect. I've been mocking them for months now, and I am far from alone. After a certain point, their grisly tableaus become a running joke that makes it really hard to take them seriously.
But that's the question I want to grapple with today. If the upcoming Tokyo zones will be featuring the Orochi on their home turf, are they too far gone in terms of respectability in the eyes of players to change the narrative? We've seen them kicked up and down across the world, so I'm wondering if it's too late for the Orochi to put on big boy pants and be invited to the adult table.Continue reading Chaos Theory: Why TSW's Orochi have an uphill battle for respectability

All New Christmas Event
Have you been naughty or have you been nice this year? Beware, because the wicked Krampus is on the loose!
The brand new Christmas event called A Mother of a Season starts today and will last until the 2nd of January. A tweaked End of Days also makes a comeback this year, so you have tons of great challenges and special rewards to look forward to!
Face Krampus and Hel!
The brutal Krampus is scouring the land for people to punish, but if you are clever you can turn the tables on the Krampus and prevent him from escaping your wrath. The Krampus opens a portal to Niflheim itself, the land of frost and ice, and you can enter this terrible place if you dare.
Within you will find a host of enemies, so getting some friends to help you might be a good idea. Niflheim holds many mysteries. The most secret of these is the ritual to summon Hel herself!
Fight Hel in Niflheim for a great challenge and to receive unique rewards. But the greatest battle will take place if you manage to lure Hel out of her realm and into yours. This extremely dangerous ritual is not to be taken lightly, and any details surrounding it are murky at best. Everything must be just right for the ritual to work. The picture at the bottom of this article is the only known clue to finding the spot where the ritual may be completed.
Become the Lord of Misrule
But Krampus, Niflheim and Hel are only part of what you can enjoy this Christmas. The Secret World picks up the old tradition of having a Lord of Misrule for the festivities. Those who are playing in PvP can receive the Lord of Misrule title.
Not only does the Lord of Misrule change appearance (he ends up looking like a Krampus in a Santa outfit), but he also gets many awesome and unique abilities, like a powerful knockback shield or being able to drop exploding presents on his enemies. You can only be the Lord of Misrule for 5 minutes at a time, but whoever kills the lord gets the honor of becoming the Lord of Misrule himself!
So the time to enjoy Christmas is here. Get your hands on tons of brand new rewards and outfits, both in the Item Shop and as unique loot. Krampus, Hel, the Lord of Misrule and the End of Days are here for everyone to enjoy!

Do you use mods in The Secret World? This was a question I have actually asked friends and colleagues as the idea of corralling the best and most useful mods bounced around in my head for a while. The irony in that inquiry is that I, personally, do not use any addons for TSW; in fact, I tend not to use them for most any game. But I do hear people swear by them, so I thought finding the best ones used throughout the community would be a helpful service. And then I set the idea aside.
You know how it is -- other things jump in the way or catch your attention screaming, "Look at me! Look at me!" So helpful mods have been on the back burner, bumped in favor of other more timely matters. And then suddenly it was the timely issue. You see, once I started trying to run scenarios, one of the mods that everyone keeps talking to me about suddenly became very relevant. (If you've ever tried to do a super-quick swap using the gear manager only to find that once you're in combat, one weapon didn't make the switch, leaving you without half of your skills, you can totally understand why).
Once I started thinking about that, it led me to wondering about the other addons out there. And if I am wondering about them, chances are someone else is, too. So that makes now the perfect time to check out the various addpons that players use to make life smoother in TSW.Continue reading Chaos Theory: A few useful mods for The Secret World

One of the bright spots of my month is when that game director letter from Joel Bylos rolls across my feed. It's like new magazine day, back when magazines were a thing instead of an ancient relic of the '90s, and I push everything aside just to slowly pick through the letter and find out what's coming to The Secret World.
Bylos' November letter had a lot to say, most of it good but a little disappointing. Yes, Tokyo and Issue 9 are being pushed to "early 2014" (I bet February) to get it up to snuff. It's one of those announcements that has the loyal saying things like, "Good for them! Quality over a rush job, I always say!" but then they go home and cry a little in secret. I'll admit that it's a bit of a bummer, especially with my overall disappointment with Issue 8. I guess it'll give me a little more time to grind out oreos and augments, and perhaps work on my long-neglected Illuminati alt.
With the bad out of the way, let's dissect and analyze what the future has in store for TSW. What's that? A Christmas devil! Oh my, things are about to get interesting. Well, interestinger.Continue reading Chaos Theory: The Christmas devil cometh to The Secret World

There is no "save folder"

Look familiar? If you play The Secret World, you've likely seen this string of characters, or something similar, a thousand times over. Anyone who has done any MMO gaming is used to seeing a flood of acronyms fly by in chat channels. It's a special shorthand to convey as much information as possible without spending all that time and effort typing out whole words (which certainly comes in handy when you are busy dodging incoming attacks). Some terms are fairly common to the genre as a whole, but others are game-specific. So what happens when players jump into The Secret World for the first time? They can be left scratching their heads wondering what weird language people are speaking.
But with everything else there is to get a handle on in the game, like the ability wheel and builds, who wants to spend time deciphering every communique? New players could speak up and outright ask what a certain term means, but who wants to expose his newbness for all to see? Instead, many just try to deduce the meaning or ignore the message all together. The problem with that is you might get something wrong (and look worse) or completely miss out on something worthwhile.
To help allay confusion and give everyone a fair chance at understanding TSW-speak, I've gathered the most relevant terminology here in a handy guide. Not only can you decode what you read with it, but you'll have the key to sending your own messages like a pro.Continue reading Chaos Theory: A Secret World lexicon

You're above the minimum hardware specs: 700MHz G4 CPU, 256MB RAM, and 32MB Video RAM. The only wrinkle I can remember is a problem with the Quicktime versions 6.4 and 6.5. If you don't have patch 1.3 installed you'll want to hunt for that.

Should be able too. We have a few articles on the forum about Macs and NOLF2

Whoa! 125 mb! Thanks E1, that works now
No problem. It broke cause of the recent hosting move. Easy fix.
