8. How much? Jul 30, 2005, 06:13 Buckermann
 
That said, we are currently deploying and testing a new service that will return some of this functionality to our dedicated players and we intend to provide this tool (along with guidelines for use of the service) very soon.
Somehow, don't ask me why, I have the feeling that this will cost money too...

We again ask for the community's patience, as our goal with the Editor is to provide the most stable, complete toolset possible.
It's a shame that they don't follow this philosophy for their games.

The Company cooperated with a recently concluded Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) investigation into this matter and has taken decisive and immediate corrective action.
But only after they lied and told everybody that the 3v1l h4><orz added all the disputed content.

3. Longhorn significantly faster than Windo Jul 22, 2005, 08:42 Buckermann
 
Again?
Upon my first installation of Windows XP I noticed the message that XP is/was the fastest Windows ever available. To my utter surprise (ok, I'm lying), this wasn't true. For some reasons (old games mostly) I installed Win98 on the same PC.
While Win98 wasn't that much faster to boot (before any optimization to any of the two OSs), maybe 10%-20%, Win XP certainly needed more time to boot.
I admit that the "speed" of a OS can't be only measured in the time it needs to boot, but for me this is a important factor.

I really hope the improve the diplomacy AI with this expansion. For me this was (or better is) the biggest problem with R:TW. Other than that, and at least for me, it's a great game.

Yes, pre 60.xx version driver probably won't work with Pci-e card. And I'm even not sure that any driver before 70.xx will work.
That's the price you have to pay if you insist on bleeding edge tech

I keep the 44.03 (May 2003) Driver around for "older" games. Mostly for Silent Storm and Morrowind.

Looks like the above post is a spammer. Only this one post, and in his profile his homepage is set to the same url as mentioned above. I hate this kind of spam.
Please kill him quick, Blue. Before this kind of disease spreads like a wildfire.

I'll either wait for a SP demo or the "extended" demo before I'll buy this.

Siward,
It's not that easy. When you buy your crack from a dealer, does the simple act of exchanging money for goods make it legal?

A quick Google search showed this:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/howto-delete-xp.html
Still no luck? OK, here is the best trick of all. Most sites give you cryptic Windows registry and DOS commands to remove a file, but the answer is so much simpler. Get a copy of MoveOnBoot (http://www.softwarepatch.com/software/moveonboot.html). It's free and this simple tool allows you to Move, Copy or Delete files before Windows can lock or alter the files. The changes are made to your hard drive before Windows starts, hence it requires a restart of your system after you give MoveOnBoot its instructions. There are no messy boot or DOS commands, just a simple 3-step process.

Step 1: Locate the name of the file that is causing your problems.

Step 2: Decide if you want to copy, move or delete the file.

Step 3. Choose a destination for moving the file, or a new file name for the rename option (this option won't appear if you are deleting a file).

Click OK to confirm you want to process. The nice thing is that the program doesn't make you reboot straight away. It's a good idea to reboot ASAP, but if you are in the middle of something and want to wait, the program will simply run next time you start Windows.

News Comments > Battlefield 2 Demo
308. Re: No subject Jun 11, 2005, 01:59 Buckermann
 
Runs good enough with my Nvidia FX5600 even if it's not listed as a supported card (all GFX settings on low of course, except 100% View Range). I guess FPS around 60-75.
Could be worse. And I'm under the impression that it runs better than BF:V. I could be wrong though.
But the 10/12 minute round timer is really annoying. So far I never had a game reach zero tickets (maybe out of 25 games).
The game looks decent enough. Will probably buy it. Does anybody know how many maps are included with the full game?

Edit:Pitiful, if you start a 32 multiplayer game for yourself you can test some planes and helis. And if you are the only player in the game, you won't have to worry about the timer.

Devourer, while I think you are dumb as a brick and without any social skills whatsoever, I must admit that this thread was really funny because of your aforementioned intellectual shortcommings.
Please keep on posting! I really like it when braindead people like you are humiliated in public.

Better try the demo before you buy this. The german version (which was released many months ago) has left me very dissapointed. I don't mind the old-style gfx, but the gameplay became quite fast boring.
And it has nothing in common with Fallout beside a (somewhat) apocalyptic setting.
Multiplayer was almost unplayable due to bugs, but I don't know how far they fixed that.

[edit:some typos]

I, for example, can't play Silent Storm with some of the newish drivers. Had to revert to the 44.something ones. But they work with everything I throw at it

I guess in 5 years the synthetic speech and animations will be so life-like that real actors and speakers are the exception, even for photo realistic cutscenes.

2. Re: 'right wing' hate spam May 16, 2005, 23:26 Buckermann
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-Right_politics
Despite the prevalence and durability of these terms, there is little consensus on what it actually means to be Left or Right. There are various different opinions about what is actually being measured along this axis:
...
Modern use of the terms
...
The contemporary right is usually defined by its opposition to economic redistribution, open/loose border immigration policies, social liberalism, and/or government mandated cultural diversity. This opposition is usually either in the name of tradition (conservatism or nationalism), of economic freedom and the rights of private property, or of pessimism about the possibility of governments successfully achieving positive effects by legislation.
IMO the label right-wing isn't wrong for this idiots. But a better term would certainly right-wing fascists.
And the article never mentions nazis in any way. So, why do you think this isn't about real right-wings?

After playing the demo (and reading the comments of the devs regarding improvements), I was fairly optimistic that this could be a fun (albeit very light) RPG.
I guess I was wrong. I also guess software like this is one of the very reasons why many people prefer to download it via BitTorrent instead of buying it.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say that software piracy is always justified, but with such a unfinished game it is no wonder that so many people do it.

From the article:
As a troublesome schoolboy, you'll laugh and cringe as you stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks on malicious kids, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the fictitious reform school, Bullworth Academy.

I don't see a problem with this game.
