[thegrube]

This russian game is now available to purchase as a digital download.Trailers look good.Has anybody played the game and also found a forum?The English selection of the website has no forums listed.

[widowmaker46]

yes played it the other day for a straight 5 hours and thats not like me,graphics are nice story strange but compelling,wants you to go on a bit further to see wot happens.just seems a bit empty at times,and areas are varied hospital,train station,farm inner city,it reminds me a bit of half life 2 but just not as good.i have a few problems playing it but dont know whether its a conflict of drivers gonna re install it later today will let ya know

[neuen]

Hi everyone,
I get a problem with this game. First time i play it works.... Second time it's freez on the main screen "You Are EMPTY". I tried to re-install it... but there's always the same problem :(

Thanks for your answer :)

[caki]

Am not! Hmph. :mad:

[raven_g20]

any1 else getting the error when u run the exe file? it says "the application failed to initialise properly" ?? i think the crack is useless...

[neuen]

Little Spoiler:









I'm blocked on the "tram" level. I killed all enemies but then I don't know what to do.... Maybe is there something to do with that green truck ?

Thanks

[coffin filler]

I have so far only managed to get the game to run once (1st time only and never after that).

I load the game up and get to the "you are empty" screen but thats it.
You guys who are running the game after the 1st time on XP what are you doing ?.

I Install game no probs
I install all codecs ect no probs
once installed i copy/paste crack + dll over originals
(I have the same problem regardless if i install SF and run from original exe).

(I am not a fan of SF @ all and dont really want it on my PC for reasons obvious and if there not i cant be botherd to go into it. Just look in the file forums and you will see why i like so many others dont want it on our PC's).

I am intrested to know are you guys blocking the exe with your fire wall or allowing to connect ?. (i have tried both ways).

I NEVER INSTALL STARFORCE PROTECTION (for obvious reasons) but to be honest there should be no reason to have to allow SF to install as a crack has been supplied. (no one is allowing SF to install are they ? If thats what your doing then im baffled as that dont make any sence and i dont want SF prot installed on my PC).

So can someone on XP give me a “EXACTLY HOW YOU DID IT” ? PLZ?

Being able to play the game only the 1st time its installed and then not after is crap obviously and i have to reinstall the game again once 1st time i switch PC off. Any ideas ?

(Im ready to f**k this off to be honest).


I have found by goOgeling that there are quiet a few others who are experiencing the same prob.

Its been suggested by some that running the exe in windows compatible mode will sort it. It dose not work 4 me.

Its been sugested that the exe needs to connect (phone home @ least once) but im unsure about this because if using a cracked exe and dll that should remove any need to "phone home" and the NFO would surely state something about it wouldnt it !. (And either way i have not blocked the exe and also tried blocking the exe).

Its been suggested that its faulty crack :confused: (I belive this is untrue. The game behaves the same way with original exe + dll pointing towards a different problem).

So anyone who has this game working and is running XP (with all updates+ service packs) please could you state what you had to do ??.

[billmee]

1 run then i have ot reinstall to run again

[neuen]

Don't reinstall :)

Start it from DOS prompt :)

[coffin filler]

***UPDATE***

Sorted it :D

Ok i have posted in here a few times already and like so many others have had some probs getting this to run and when i eventualy did it only worked once lol. (and then kept getting stuck at "you are empty" screen).

This is how i managed to get game to run for me which those of you are still struggeling to get running may be intrested in.

Go THROUGH NORMALL INSTALL PROCESS

Make sure you install ALL options (all boxes checked)

I found that by altering the install location (i have a folder named games where i install all games) was a problem. I have had this happen once before with another game so install to defaut location which if i remember correctly is
C:/ Programfiles/1 C company/You are empty.

Once installed make sure there is no problem installing the WM9 codecs + WMV9VCMsetup. (if there is a prob simply after install process has finished browse the DVD and go into WM9V folder and start both setups again).

DO NOT RUN GAME AT SCREEN WHICH ASKS IF YOU WANT TO LAUNCH GAME (AFTER INSTALL PROCESS FINISHES OBVIOUSLY OTHERWISE IT WILL PROMT YOU TO INSTALL STARFORCE PROTECTION AT THIS POINT WHICH YOU DONT WANT TO DO )

So now game is installed and all codecs ect are. Copy and paste cracked exe and dll over originals.

(REMEMBER YOU STILL SHOULD NOT OF ATTEMPTED TO RUN GAME YET).

Once cracked exe and dll are copy/pasted into location make sure you give the cracked exe permission to connect to
internet. (do this through your fire wall/mcafee/zonealarm/ or if you use no software like this then through windows fire
wall. (I noticed that if the exe is blocked the game will not run. I managed to get it to start screen, watch the FMV before you get to control your person but i never managed to play the game whilst exe was blocked). Once i gave permission to the exe the game ran fine (and not just the 1st time).

I also noticed that sometimes the game will run ok but sometimes i have to use the windows compatability mode and select windows 98/me (Thanks to mr.editor for that nugget of info).. (Do this by right clicking on shortcut on desktop/selecting compatability tab/then selecting windows 98/me and apply). Then it runs ok and if not i have to do the windows compatability mode thing again and apply again and its ok.

This is the only way i have managed to play the game and be able to turn PC off + on and then play it again and continue from saved location.

Hope this helps you guys having trouble to get it running and if not then give it up as a bad cause :mad:

[neuen]

coffin if you playing this game.... can you write when you are in the "tram" level please ?

Thank you :)

[coffin filler]

@ neuen.
Yeah will do. Only started playing it last night for 1 hour. Not at tram level yet. What do you want to know?.

Is there some kind of problem when as far as the tram level ?.

Thanks.

[2wiredtodie]

@ neuen & coffin filler:

I am happy to see i am not stupid.
I also passed the levels through the tram. after the short movie-sequence, it continues without any weapons.

i managed the area down the balcony.
I also found the ladder to climb up. But there is no way to reach the ladder.
I played about 2 hours to find another way, but there seems to be no one.

so i also would be pleased to get any kind of help.
thanks. and sorry for my bad english...

Yes.... This is what I mean.
I think it's a bug.....

"2wiredtodie" do you see that green truck ? It should crash against the black gate..... but it doesn't....

I hope there are some "saved game" file for us....

:(

[cyberman32m]

but i think somewhere there is a key for the green truck and you have to find it and take to the truck to start a cut scene but i have looked over every place in the game and can not find it lol anyone finds please let me know and if i find it i let you know

[billmee]

Don't reinstall :)

Start it from DOS prompt :)

thx that worked, now i'm falling through the map needs a patch i think

[2wiredtodie]

but look for the truck.
the tires will be destroyed by firefight with the 2 guys beyond the gate.
but no one shot directly for it

i am going to be pissed up.
maybe a failure through starforce?

[neuen]

I become crazy..... :(

[coffin filler]

Hey guys/gals

I have got as far as the tram section now but not to the point you are talking/writing about. I know some people have got further than what you describe as i have read some comments about other levels (and yes its from the same version of game and not the original release which if i remember correctly was Russian or something like that). This at least proves there must be a way past what you describe ?.

To be honest im not taken by this game at all. Gameplay is dated IMHO.
Graphics are nice (at points) but audio is awful as is the control/mouse movement. Voice acting is AWFUL to the point i have to skip it as it hurts my ears. Some good gameplay at times but no ware near enough to keep me intrested to continue. As soon as something better is released i will ditch this and rid my HDD of it forever. (only reason i am persisting at all is cause i (like a fooooooooool) paid over my hard earned cash £s $s. I was compleatly taken in by the screen shots (reminded me of HL2 and same textures also).
So if anyone reads this before they part with their cash i suggest you find an online review and read it 1st or look for a demo (unsure if their is one).

[cyberman32m]

i know people are saying the games abit naff but it case i have started so i want to finish now lol and i have spent 7 hours trying to find away threw lol

[2wiredtodie]

anyone else passed the levels to tram section?
i become mad about that. no one seems to be able to solve that ladder problem.

are there other boards some guys discuss about that.
I was wondering about the fact online the russian guys talk about the game (ok it was 2005)... but since the european release there is nothing to find out that way...

no walkthrough guide... nothing...

[DABhand]

Have you ever tried the official website to the game, perhaps they have a forum with a spoiler section?

Hi.

I have been chatting with someone i know who claims to of finished "YOU ARE EMPTY". (English version).

I have just fired him an e-mail off to see what the tram soloution is. Once i recive a reply i will copy/paste it in here for you.
(Why you wonder ? Why would i do that for you?. Well quiet simply im nice like that :rolleyes: )

Anyway once i recive a reply (providing its usefull) I will copy it in here for you as there is no way I will be compleating this game or even getting as far as you described. Firstly because IMHO its sh*te and secondly because of the first reason its now been uninstalled. :p

[coffin filler]

I watched a video where that green truck crash on the black gate :D

:)

Have you actualy been able to get that done though ?. Or are you still/also stuck ? Just wondering.

Thanks Coffin....

I'm still on the same level. I think it's a bug....

[Joe Forster/STA]

Probably video card driver problems. Read the PC Games forum FAQ.

Ahh haa. Seeing as i myself (and every other self respecting gamer) dose not cheat/use trainers I/we would never of experienced the problem you described. :D

Seriously though there must be quiet a few people using a trainer because in another forum im a member of :rolleyes: many of the people who have posted have experienced the problem you described (unless its also a game problem) but im forced to belive its a problem relating to using said trainer within the game.

At least you can continue to play the poo poo which is called "you are empty" (of gameplay) :D

[cyberman32m]

my trainer of and i am going threw the game with no problem and that only different thing i did was turn my trainer of and hell man if you dont you cheats how do you enjoy the game man you need to have a trainer for a rpg to get most out of it lol

[Marillion]

Hi Folks,

got the same problem with the TRAM Level. Don't use any trainer or cheats. The gate just won't open.
Anyone a savegame for me???

Cheers

[emreggub]

I have more or less the same problem.Played it once but it will not play anymore from my save points.Tried re-installing but it freezes on the YOU ARE EMPTY black screen.Almost given up hope.:mad:

[Marillion]

@emreggub. Try switching to compatability mode WIN 95, worked fine for me.
My problem though, the game freezes when I want to quit.

[Magnetarse]

I also noticed that sometimes the game will run ok but sometimes i have to use the windows compatability mode and select windows 98/me (Thanks to mr.editor for that nugget of info).. (Do this by right clicking on shortcut on desktop/selecting compatability tab/then selecting windows 98/me and apply). Then it runs ok and if not i have to do the windows compatability mode thing again and apply again and its ok.

Hope this helps you guys having trouble to get it running and if not then give it up as a bad cause :mad:[/QUOTE]


Thanks for the info
Game running ok @ 1024x768 but locks up at the start when I try 1280x1024?
Any ideas anybody:confused:

That is/was the exact same problem i had once i had managed to get the game working every time i wanted to play it. Every single time i wanted to quit game i had to Ctrl/Alt and delete out of game.

Yeah run it at the lower res lol. Seriously though many mant people are experiencing the same prob and have to run at 1024x768. I myself managed to run in a higher res. What GPU and drivers are you on ?. If poss update them as this is what sorted my resolution prob out for me and as you can see from my sig im now on the newest driver version.

[Marillion]

What I noticed - changing the resolution or the keyboard layout, or gamma, the game asks to restart the machine. Never had that with any other game.
Never had any troubles though starting from a savepoint.

Got further now in the game. Just started again from CITY COUNCIL Level.

[MrLipid]

I had the "truck won't crash through the gate" problem. And I think I found the answer.

Here's the trick: The trigger for the truck to come through the gate involves the player moving toward the gate by passing between the wall on the left and the black car to the right.

Move past the car toward the gate. The truck will start and crash through the gate. If you want, you can jump on the gate as the truck hurtles toward you.

Coming at the gate from any other angle will not work.

Hope this helps.

P.S. It does not seem to matter if you clear the street of opposition or not. All that matters is that you move toward the gate by passing between the wall and the car.

[MrReaper]

After an hour of allsorts of ways to get around the lorry gate bug, i think i've sorted it.

If the lorry don't crash through the gate, pull up the console by pressing "@" key, then type "Restart" (without the ")in the console and press return.

The level will reload, now head back to the gate and the lorry crashes through the gate:) .

I did not have cheats/trainer running when i did this, and i walked between the wall on the left and the black car on the right as told by "MrLipid" in the post above.

Hope that helps, i'm off to play some more "You Are EMPTY".

[gnurkie]

I have the same problems like a lot of people: the game freezes after the intro video. I've tried the cracked version and even bought the original game, but it happens just the same.

Can anyone hook me up with a savegame from just after the intro vid?
Maybe I will be able to load that one.
Thanks!

[MrReaper]

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7T3XX7F6

I had to upload to megaupload as the file size was to big to attach here.

Hope that helps you out.

Once you have the save game files, just copy them here:

C:\My Documents\My Games\YaE\savegames

[MrReaper]

Don't forget to Unrar the save game files first, then copy all the files to your save game folder.

[gnurkie]

Thank you for the savegames!
I tried them, but unfortunately it didnt help. The game loads till 99% and the freezes again. I can only pres control-alt-delete to quit the game. It seems like I am not able to enter the actual gameplay, very strange.

I have tried all the solutions I could find on the web, and also e-mailed Digital Spray, but no reaction so far. Would be a shame to waste my 38 euros.. anyone got an idea ?

My specs are:
Windows XP SP2
Intel P4 3.0 Ghz
1024 MB RAM
Geforce 7800 GS 256 MB
Creative X-fi audio
Latest drivers etc.

If you have tried all options and from reading your posts and the PM you sent me it seems you have then i would recommend you take the game back to place of purchase if thats poss. You could always wait a while longer to see if digital spray contact you with a soloution but doing that means you may go over the time limit to take back to place of purchase.

Depending where its purchased inthe UK depends on if you can take back for a refund/swap for another title. Its got much strickter to take PC games back to place of purchase in the UK but its still poss providing you state the game is at fault and not you (as in corrupted install ect). I have taken many games back in the past but its much harder now than 2 years back.

Sorry i dont have anything more helpfull relating to a soloution. If it helps the game IMHO is not that good at all. Looks ok in places but game feels unfinished and dosent quier cut it imo. (scored very low in reviews also and quiet a few sites havent even botherd to review it lol)

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/search.php?channel=pc&format=&query=you+are+empty

[gnurkie]

Ok thanks :)
Maybe I'll try to swap it for another title, but I'm not sure if that's possible here in The Netherlands.
Thanks for the help so far though!

[peter727727]

Hello, this message is only to let you all to know that I noticed that with the "reloaded" fix no-cd, the game only works when the ethernet cable is connected to a working router... even if without an internet connection.
In other words, the "fixed" game can load a new game (or a saved game) only when your LAN cable is connected to a powered router (may be to a modem too, but I don't know). Please note that the router doesn't need to be connected to internet. :p
(After the game has loaded you can power off your router, but if you have to load again a previous saved game, you have to power on your router again..)
I experienced this with two differents computers, with WinXP and Vista.
Hope this message can be useful... may be a new version of the "fix" will be expected...

[Beni_blanc]

I am new to pc gaming! In you are empty after you get the first key of the game go thru the door get your first gun then go outside the door closes and i cant move on in the game. How do i get out do you stack the crates somehow?? Please Help! beni_blanc

[DABhand]

Are you using a trainer with unlimited health option on?

If so, turn it off and reload your save before you get there or reload the level. Its been known that the trainer/s cause level hang ups like these.
