I still buy these things on Ebay
"OUT OF STOCK."

I did get those type of plain mice too from work's e-trashes! They still work to me! Sure, they're dirty and sticky. I cared not and cleaned them for free working good optical plain computer mice!

It pisses me off that with every new architecture change we have to get a new mainboard, because of the fucking socket change. Fucking Intel trolls...
Welcome to technologies. Intel isn't the only one! I still use old stuff (e.g., CRT TVs, VCRs for connections, copper landlines, analog bone conduction hearing aid, etc.) since I hate upgrading so often! I will upgrade/replace when ready!

It's an insult to Vista to lump it in with Windows 8. Vista>Windows 8...

I'm no fan of vanilla Windows 8 but Windows 8 with Classic Shell beats the pants off Vista and even Windows 7 in many ways. That Start Screen is madness though. At least the 8.1 update gives the choices back. It may have been an arrogant move but they are at least owning up to it in some form. Finally.
MS confirmed W8.1 will have Start Menu? Where and when?

Simple solution: Cut every fiberoptic cable to China. Stop sending satellite data to and from China. They want to be behind their great firewall, now they really can be. And then they can hack each other.

Fuck China.

Yeah, I really can't do anything about old drivers unfortunately. The particular build of UE3 the game's code is based off is a bit more than 3 years newer than those drivers. ;(
Bummer. What is the minimum ATI Radeon video driver version supported?

Well, I still need to know how to play it! It looks complex! Also, I think I had video issues too. I don't know if that was resolved as well.
It definitely works well enough to do that, it's just some fancy flourishes that don't work properly. The game is pretty easy to jump into anyways, a brief perusal of the keybinds will get you most of the basics, with the details coming in as you play (and many servers are full of new players right now).

I vaguely recall you mentioning your video issues before. Didn't sound like anything I'd heard before. Old GPU or drivers? As far as rendering goes, the engine is pretty much standard UE3.
ATI Radeon 4870 video card in XP Pro. SP3. I have to use very old video drivers (e.g., v8.10 and v9.4) because of rare, random hard lock ups with videos and Windows' clock losing time in DVI mode. IIRC, I posted about this in your game forums and Steam's.

I played its free weekend last time, but it was so buggy like its tutorial. Has it improved since then?
The tutorial works, though we broke its camera animations in the last patch (always the best timing with tutorial bugs) so there are a couple of slightly awkward bits where you might be aware that something is supposed to be happening but isn't.

Anyways, it's a multiplayer-only game, the whole single-player scripted gameplay thing wasn't really the highest priority.

Unless you have a $800 video card, don't bother with this.

Payday 1 runs slow on average machine, while all the other games run just fine.

Uh, that game (free weekend) ran fine on my old Windows XP Pro. SP3 with 2 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB; PCIe; 1280x1024 resolution), very old drivers, etc. It ran well like L4D games.

Does that include beta testers? I wasn't impressed with its open beta.
