Hi there.
I've received my new game Fable the lost chapters today, slipped it into my machine and... nothing. No whirring noise. A couple of sounds as if it may be trying to do something. But nothing. The icon for the disk doesn't even come up on the desktop. After about 45 seconds my machine spits it out. Does this mean that the disk itself has a fault and so isn't even recognised by my machine? My drive is working fine because I tried other game disks, e.g The Sims and even a game for the PC and they showed up no problem. I know I don't have the full minimum requirements but surely it should at least acknowledge the disk?
The min requirements for Fable are: Mac OS 10.4, 1.6Ghz, 512mb ram, 64mb vram(3D), 3Gb hard drive space

I have an iMac, PowerPC G4, 1.25Ghz, 768mb ram, 64vram(nVIDA GeForce FX5200), 9+Gb of hard drive

I was wondering if it's because I'm a bit short on the speed but surely that wouldn't manifest itself until I was actually able to install and play the game! Also I checked the games specifications on its website and my graphics card is not among the ones that the game does not support. I'm sure my graphics card is not an integrated one either - at least I don't think it is.

Can anyone advise me on this?

I would contact Feral support some of the older G4 machines have older DVD drivers that sometimes have problems with some DVD9 disks (DVD9 is a dual layer disk which contains twice the data of a DVD5. These disks sometimes fail to read if the DVD is slightly damaged.

Feral have a disk replacement system so if you email them one of our support team will step you though getting a replacement DVD.
