It's a rare but common enough problem, only solution? Reinstall the OS.. I am not joking on that. No driver will ever install for you these 3 items if they failed once. I had the same issue on Vista and since I upgraded to W7 it's gone. So maybe it's an OS related issue with the drivers, but all r300 drivers from nvidia did that for me.
You have to be joking. |

Seriously, Win7, to me, is the best of the best.
Leave metro out of it, isn't there some technical improvements with 8 over 7? |

| $3 and you get the Start Menu back, just got my Win8 laptop today. Was painless and I can hotkey between Win7 UI and Metro. Not a big deal at all, in reality overblown for anyone with an ounce. |

There is OGL to get the DnD ruleset in, if that is a huge desire:
OGL is the open game licence created by Wizards of the Coast to allow third-parties to use their open game content. The open game content is a set of rules that constitutes the foundation of the pen-and-paper role playing game Dungeons & Dragons 3.5. Thus, the open content is distinct from D&D, but very closely related. |

PC sales are down because tablet sales are up. The average user doesn't need a pc anymore.
Right but a lof of this is about %'s year over year. PC's still outsell tablets 4 to 1. Also most already have a pc and don't have a tablet, that surely helps growth. We'll have to see if people once they have tablets like them enough that they will continue to upgrade them for 10 year plus. I still see them as two different products. Business gets done on a PC (+other things), while tablet is a portable entertainment device. |

edit: And remember this one? Years later, only the same deal. But this time in 3d.
Yeah there was a bar in Akron called Satchmoe's (sp) that had that in their basement, awful. That was a game trying to hard to be ultra-techy and it was just bad. |

To me it's a continuation/update on Knights of the Chalice in a sense, which was great. Look forward to it. The only thing I'd knock it for is they went HUGE! The size is Daggerfall'ish, which to me is too big for it's own good kind of thing.
Still would have preferred a coop option, to me there are plenty of old DnD'ers out there, with families miles apart that wouldn't have a problem with the slower pace. Divinity Original Sin is the only one seeing the market. |

I'm down and cool with Dragon's Lair.
But make no mistake, we did the right thing denouncing it way back when after it's initial burst. That is totally not the way you wanted the industry in the whole to go. We are much further ahead then "create your own adventure" games.
You guys think consoles are dumb downed. |

Beta Testers words about release:
"As we all know, Overhaul was taken by surprise by the amount of work required to make BG:EE happen, which led to an unexpected delay of 2 months. These 2 months have been spent frantically getting the game from "total mess" to "presentable" status. We're all very aware that many outstanding issues remain, but what you don't see are the thousands of other issues that took priority over these." |

DA series... It's really bad to be a blood mage, luckily there are only a few. Then around every corner everyone turns out to be a closet Blood Mage (aka The Thing). Over and over to the point if you weren't a blood mage, you were special.

| Haven't they stated DA3 will use BF3's engine, big open world. That it will also take things that worked in DA1 and DA2? It's one of those wait and see things. Putting all the above together correctly can make a very good game. |

Funny...I must be the guy that never has issues. Never had problems with Windows Me and gaming, never had problems with Windows Vista and gaming, and have not had any problems with Windows 8 and gaming
I am with you, my first Win 8 system comes next week in form of a sweet laptop deal. But I haven't struggled with any O/S, I didn't get Vista until drivers matured for it. There were points I struggled with virus/malware etc in the early 2000's, but MS got a bit more serious about it and those issues are way way down. It wasn't the O/S itself, but shitware.
But face it, here is a common answer to anything not running quite right on the internets, "You should reinstall the O/S". To date I have never done it once in all my recent memory, say Win 95 forward. I had two system up until around 2008 that were both updated from Win 95, 98, ME to XP. It must be an internet miracle if you go by the issues people have and how they remedy things. I have a nephew that just got the message, had it sink in, the kid was reformatting like a couple times per month, any issue he had he did that nearly first thing and usually it didn't fix it anyway.
Obviously going from 32 bit to 64 bit there isn't an upgrade path so those two systems for over a decade finally had to start over/retire. This was like 5 generations of HW changes to those two systems. New MB's/Gfx Cards, Hard Drives (ghosted from old to new). If you know how to keep a system clean, which is easier then most must think, you can keep it running right. All my performance tests came back normal vs a clean system.
I also Ghost at least my boot drives on all units, I've had several HD crashes over the years that will get most users to start over again. But not me, new HD, restore Ghost, an hour later, newer, bigger HD running just like it was, but better. Viruses, I try to fix those via google searches, 99% success rate there, if not... Ghost back, lose a week, an hour later all good again. It's really a simple step that most don't bother with.
So I did start over recently with 64 bit systems, I could be good for another decade plus as I see it. As mentioned security holes are a lot less an issue today, the systems I have are now staying more squeaky clean than ever, 5 units all Win7 64, all boot drives ghosted, all start-up processes looked at routinely, blah, blah, blah. Sitting pretty imo.
When I get this Win8 laptop, it will be the soonest I have a new O/S since Win 95. I do prefer to have things mature a bit more. If I have real issues that I think "Win 8 just isn't ready", I'll through Win 7 on it. You can also bet your sweet ass I'm turning Metro off like right now. |

nin I have to ask, what sorta severance package do you think he got from Microsoft? Just from the video thumbnail alone, how much does it cost to create a new studio, and all the equipment in the background?
Call me crazy, but if he's going to fund a studio, I'd assume he'd plan to have enough left over to fund a game (not counting that stupid cube one).
Sadly, no, Peter wasn't that smart. Apparently creating the new studio and building that retarded cube thing ate all his savings. (according to an interview I read a few days ago.)
Creston
I hate myself for asking... but how is the cube game doing financially? |

When is a dev going to develop a sort of baseline anti-cheat program?
And I ask that myself all the time to. Because when you wait you also fall behind in these games. Probably why many at Blue's don't care for online competitive games. |

Do they still have bot trains overrunning every zone, locking threads on the subject and trying to pretend there is no problem?
Actually, no. There were a huge amount of multi-boxers running around for quite a while, but I haven't seen a single one in at least two or three weeks. They kicked about 10,000 accounts a few weeks back; gold farmers, multi-boxers, etc.
It has been cleaned up a lot for at least us to see. Bot'ers are probably just running the new Fractal Dungeons, which we can't see in their own instance. (I've been running mid-level zones, haven't seen one in a week+.) |
