In like any FPS game (Battlefield 3, SWAT 4, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Ghost Recon Online, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and more), when I hit someone, I can only see the squirting blood, but the server doesn´t register me hitting anyone. I have tried a lots of tweaks that I ´ve found on the internet (especially in game SWAT4, where you can modify its .ini files in a large size), but nothing helps - the tweaks were not meant to eliminate hitbox problem, but to increase overall performance and internet connection. Of course I don´t have the problem all the time, but the gaming is really unplayable like this, as you die only because of this stupid bug, when you shot someone´s head 9 times (1 shot is needed in SWAT4 to kill with weapons I use) and then he turns on you and kills you on 1 burst not even aimed to your head. Compare for yourself:

Computer rig: MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 (original), Intel Core i5-3470 3.20 Ghz, 8 GB RAM DDR3 single channel, Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti, motherboard MSI B75A-G43 (MS-7758)
Note: Changing between old and new gaming rig didn´t help.

I am not using any adware, spyware or anti-viruses (only the already installed Intel antivirus). On the old PC, I was having Avast.

I am looking for SWAT4 hitbox fix, as other games don´t really make me fun. If you are interested about "nodie" in BF3, I will explain you too and send screenshots,  because it´s little bit different there.

I WOULD BE ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL FOR ANY HELP.

Best regards,
OehtabThis is basically a problem with your connection to the game server.  Running speed tests was a great first start, those tests show nothing out of the ordinary.  I would RECOMMEND having a read of this - it's basically a ping test that runs constantly, so you can see how your ping does over time.  Get that set up, and run for a few days, monitor the results on there and post the link to the monitor if you like so we can take a look.  That'll show you whether your connection gets worse at certain times (usually peak times) or if there's something else funky going on.

Anyone still here? ))

Also, can´t the high minimum latency be caused by distance between me and the server?

Alright. I am not sure if I will call them, because I doubt they will help + there were many problems providing us internet connection in the past.

Anyway, I have thought, if something like this http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/957944-battlefield-bad-company-2/54397003 couldn´t be added into SWAT4.ini, perhaps it could help too?

Could you recommend me a popular free online web game with many people?

Hi and thanks for taking a look at my thread. 
I dont know if this comes under computer games but here goes OK.

My super nintendo or SNES wont save the games. I have all the RIGHT bits and it used to save the levels, (lets say DOOM for example.) Just recently it did save the levels... then, all of a sudden, now it doesnt AND the levels that were saved, are gone???
This would have to be a gamers nightmare  in the early days, but I've played these things so many times I can just about remember the codes for the levels of by heart. ( not quite.. I have them written down hehehehe.)

Yes, it is a misspent youth and I am trying to reclaim my younger days by playing these games, but I also found out that these consoles are "WORTH A FORTUNE" today.

I have changed controllers but that didnt improve it at all. They all have a slide in container that has the memory chip in it. It is also where the rumble pack inserts.

Is it the controller/memory chip in the console unit at fault do you think?
I mean after all it is, what, 35 years old, so something is sure to wear out sooner or later.

Thanks for looking at least. ImnoGuru.  Hi...

the SNES doesn't save games- that is, the console doesn't.

What allows you to save SNES games is battery-backed RAM.

It's kept 'alive' in much the same way as a Computer's CMOS RAM, in fact it uses the very same battery type. The battery is inside the cartridge and unsurprisingly can get old and be unable to keep the SRAM data, which can cause it to get corrupted or simply DRIBBLE away.

Reading the rest of your post, you aren't talking about a SNES (Super Nintendo) but rather a Nintendo 64 console. (third generation console) Thankfully, the above is the same case for those as well. Perhaps more so.

1. Some N64 games have Battery-backed memory on the cartridge. This includes games such as Super Mario 64.
2. Other games use Controller Packs for game saving/loading. This includes the game you mention, Doom.
3. Controller packs use Battery-Backed memory as well.

Depending on the type of controller pack, you should be able to TAKE it apart and replace the battery. Each one I've seen has used a standard CR2032 battery, just as you would use for a Computer's CMOS battery. Once you replace that the controller pack should work again for saving and loading. It's actually better that the controller pack fail in this way rather than a cartridge, since the controller packs often used a more typical Battery holder, whereas the cartridges often had the batteries soldered in place.

Ok, a battery that lasts 35 years wow!! 
Dont you just wish they could produce one like that for electric cars?

BC_Programmer, you might be able to tell me then, what is the unit in the front top of the console? It is under a removable panel on the 64 console.
Oh and how is it removed. Do I need a special tool to remove it safely?

Just so I understand correctly then, the game cartridge has the battery in it, not the controller/handpiece or the insertable 256K memory unit?
and to change the battery, I need to disassemble the game cartridge.Firstly, BC is right. the SNES does not save games, the cartridges do. You'll have to change the battery in the cart. See this - http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/pictures-how-to-replace-an-snes-cartridge-save-game-battery

Secondly, the removable panel on the top of the N64 has a 'expansion pack' which takes the machines RAM to, i think, 4MB. If the pack is black/grey, it is what comes with the machine. The expansion pack is red. It does come with a tool to remove it, but i've done it before with the handle end of a thin flat spoon.

Some N64 games (like Super Mario 64) are saved in the cartridge, but others (like Micro machines or Shadowman) need to be saved on a memory card that you insert into the controller. I think i still have three memory cards :-) Quote from: ImnoGuru on July 27, 2013, 09:39:52 AM

Instead of RUNNING the setup for AppLocale, I accidentally added it as a REGISTRY value. Will this mess with my COMPUTER? When I clicked on the download, it had opened up in WinRAR instead of showing me the set-up wizard, and at the time I had no idea what I was doing, so I clicked on the value thingy and added it.

I had been warned that it may tamper with the other registry values. So, I was thinking that I would restore my comp to an EARLIER date. Should I?
I'm completely confused about the whole situation.

My sister use to play Farm frenzy 3 Russian Roulette on windows 7 64bit, while the game is loading it got stuck and then she close the game by pressing (Alt + F4). Again she open the game but all the progress she MADE was gone. So i decided to backup the games which is by default installed in "C:\Program Files (X86)\Alawar Entertainment\". I copy the folder named "Farm Frenzy 3 Russian Roulette" and paste it in D drive.

After sometime the same PROBLEM happens, All the progress again gone, I copy the backup that i make before from D drive and paste in the default game location in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Alawar Entertainment\" I replace the existing one but it does not work, means The progress that She made, when I backup the game, does not exist at all.

I try another TECHNIQUE like uninstalling the game and then paste the backup geme.

So I need help for backup the game which backup all the progress made by the user

I will be very glad If you can help me..

Second question: My system information doesn't appear in dxdiag, it appears like this: http://i.imgur.com/4W77lCC.png How can I solve that?Your graphics card isn't up to the task, to put it simply.

Isn't there any possible method to solve it?

So occasionally, usually after a patch or UPDATE World of Warcraft will pop up a message before launch of the game that complains about the Video Card suggesting that the GPU is not powerful enough even though its plenty powerful to run the game on normal settings.

Both of us are getting in excess of 30 frames per second with graphics set to Normal ( middle setting ) where there is a slider bar under the system settings in the game to set it to Poor, Fair, Normal, High, Ultra. I told my wife to ignore it since once she is in the game she can clearly see that the game runs perfectly well on the hardware she has.

Her statement to me was "OH NO!!!, I am going to need a new computer?" And I was like...what?... Why? and she said WoW came up showing that the system doesnt meet the requirements. I was like "OH... That Message, just ignore it." Your system runs the game fine right? And she said yes. I said your system has NOTHING wrong with it speed wise right? And she said she is happy with her computer. I said so, just ignore it and play the game and use the system. The system is plenty powerful enough to run the games you run on it and netflix and everything else. There is no need to buy a new computer and waste money. So she agreed and went on to GAMING happy with the performance of her system which is a hand-me-down from my gaming needs so she always gets free upgrades of my hand me down hardware etc, and then the cycle doesnt end there, its then handed down after my wife to our daughter for her computer needs at which point the hardware is aged well and eventually gets pulled from service in our home.

Her system specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz E6600
2 GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM
160GB IDE ATA 100 HDD ( 20GB free )
40GB OCZ SATA II SSD ( WoW & system swap file is on this SSD to boost system performance since the IDE drive is slow )
Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium
XFX nVidia GeForce 9500 GT Video Card with 1GB DDR2 memory

My system specs on system getting this message is:

AMD Athlon X2 4450B 2.3Ghz
4GB DDR2 800Mhz Corsair XMS2 RAM ( *Using 3GB due to 32-bit OS )
500GB SATA HDD ( 80GB free )
60GB Corsair SATA II SSD ( WoW is on this SSD to have quick load times in game )
Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium
ASUS ATI Radeon HD5450 video card with 512MB DDR2 memory

* This is probably nothing big, since after all the game runs fine on both of these systems. They probably detect that the cards cant run on Ultra settings well and thats why they are suggesting an upgrade.

However it also in the back of my mind makes me feel like Blizzard may be trying to get people to buy new hardware because they may have it in with nVidia or AMD to gain something behind the scenes by having their software suggest that the hardware doesnt meet their system requirements as a planned obsolescence blat since the high end at its time 9500GT has been around since July 2008 and the bargain performance video card the AMD Radeon HD5450 has been around since January 2010, and what better way to get people to throw away perfectly fine video cards for new ( or completely new computers as my wife had though she needed), than to suggest it in a game when its not necessary!

My girlfriend played a game back when she was in middle school and cant remember the name of it. I think she said it takes place at a fair. All I know is that it starts off with a ferris wheel and you can click on it and the people will scream dont rock it or AHH im falling. Then you go up to this evil guy who ask you to pick one of the dolls. He then turns you into a cupie(kewpie) doll and you are taken to an island and you have to play games to get off. She been asking me for months and I have had no luck in FINDING any info on game. Please help.  And its not roller coaster tycoon. I have all the versions of it. this game was played back in the earlier to mid 90s by her.  it may have been for the mac since thats what a lot of school here had at the time.Roller coaster tycoon! There v1 v2 v3 v4 roughly how long ago Quote from: displayname on April 10, 2007, 10:48:16 AM

And its not roller coaster tycoon. I have all the versions of it.

Definatly (is that how you spell it...?) not any of the RCT games.

Why do you want to know what game it is anyway?

It's "definitely".  Unless Aussies spell it a different way.  I really don't know.

His girlfriend wants to know.

I was literaly playing the sims yesterday and to day it won't even load.
All it does is give an error report message.

"The Sims has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."

>>details>>
Error signature
AppName: sims.exe    AppVer: 1.0.0.0    ModName: sims.exe
ModVer: 1.0.0.0    Offset: 0000986f

I have uninstalled and removed all regristry keys by HAND before reinstalling.
I have tried other optical drives.
I have used the various flags recomended in various other posts.
I have done spyware, adware and antivirus.
I have done a regclean.
I have run scandisk.

The part that BOGGLES my mind is the fact that it worked fine for the last 3 or 4 DAYS and then stopped without any changes to the system.

any ideas?EA Games tend to be very dodgy.

Have you tried looking through the EA help-database? I believe there is a Sims uninstaller tool available that MIGHT help you.

If it doesn't, contact EA technical support and don't forget to patch the game before running it.

Put on your skeptical goggles because rumors are swirling that StarCraft 2 is finally a reality. The Team LIQUID forums have translated an article from Korean site Fighter Forum that says StarCraft 2 is on the way and a beta will be released at the end of 2007.

LinkI never read articles, I only look at screenies. Unless I'm a bout to buy a game and then I read a quick review.

Besides that, I don't care much for rumours about games. If it hits the STORES and I like it, I'll download it first and buy it LATER on. Which is something that has to be done in today's world, since most game developers dish you un-reyplayable crap for way too much cash.

But Starcraft was neat. What ever happened to Starcraft: Ghost? Ugh StarCraft Ghost, I never liked the idea and I don't really follow CONSOLE only games but believe it's been indefinitely postponed in development.It seemed good at the time, but only if they port it to the PC in a playable form. (Please press the square and/or circle as rapidly as possible - *censored*, I don't have a square and circle and I certainly won't waste my 50 euro costing keyboard on pressing keys as rapidly as possible..)

i recently decided to revisit my COLLECTION of sims games and loaded
the sims
the sims: house party
the sims: vacation
the sims: superstar
onto my laptop (it meets all of the requirements for the game) but when i went into the game it looked like this:

the tool bars appear to be jumping around.
i tried re-installing superstar but it made no difference.
at first i was able to create a family and enter properties (although from there i could do nothing as there was no bottom TOOLBAR and the image was scattered) but now if i click anything a box OPENS saying "nobody lives there... create a family... etc..."

any help would be APPRECIATED!What are the game specs?
What are your computer specs?

e.g. ram, os....check your drivers. i've had similar problems with many games and it usually turns out to be drivers of one THING or another if not, then possibly version confliction.

i have the sims unleashed, with EXPANSION packs, HOT date, house party, and i had deluxe before...when ever i go to save, or envict someone, it kicks me off.  :-? if i envict someone it's fine when i open it again, that happened  [smiley=huh.gif]...but when i go to the house i had saved the people in, there not there. any ideas whats wrong? i've had this combo of expansion packs, w/ unleashed before and nothing happened...so any ideas what's wrong?

Hi guys I downloaded some roms and try it but in one of my downloads there was an error.

The error says: Can't open. No KNOWN good dump.

What does the dump mean? Is this the same as physical dumping? Also what is the meaning of DUMP in programming, is it a program?

And when there is a physical dump, is it dangerous? Does the computer being damage when this happens?

Sorry for the many questions, I google it but some are very technical and some can lead to nowhere can anyone explain this in SIMPLE ENGLISH. Thank you. 8-) :-? What system are you trying to emulate?You PROBABLY just downloaded a bad ROM.  They're not always reliable.  Nor are they always trustworthy...Ok so dump is just an error nothing more? So when there is a physical dump it is an error on either hardware or software the same with "No known good dump"? If this is what you mean I'll put it my NOTES. Thank you 8-) :-? Quote

Hey all,  

I recently installed Oblivion to my computer, but to my horror... It lagged during combat. (Even at lowest settings!)

Main computer specs atm:

3.2 Ghz proc
1.5 Gigs of RAM
GeForce 7600Gt card

Now don't you think this should run it perfectly or decent on LOW settings?  :-?

I checked the recommended requirements for the game, and I see no problems.

Help or comments would be awesome!

Thanks,
Mike

That PC should play Oblivion OK, not fantastically but OK.
Definitely better than lagging on medium settings.
Is the PC slow when not gaming?
Could be heat, could be malware, could be a bloated installation.
What OS are you USING?
When was the last time you cleaned your PC out?
What protection do you have?
What kind of processor is that?
And try defragging.Is the PC slow when not gaming?- No, It plays Battlefield 2/2142 and so on on max settings.
What OS are you using?- :-?
When was the last time you cleaned your PC out?-Just a few weeks ago.
What protection do you have?- Currently I am using Norton.
What kind of processor is that?- It is an Intel.
And try defragging. -Ill give that a go

Yeah, its very weird. Everything turned off/lowest settings still LAGS in combat  :-/OS - Operating System.
XP?  Vista?
What version and service pack?
Your processor, I guess it's a Pentium 4 then.
Try defragmenting, see if that helps, and get back to us.Sorry, XP Home Edition... as for the pentium 4, yea it is, I am retarted  
Will do , thanks ! try TURNING your norton off then play real quick and see if that helps??After performing the defrag, the game did become less laggy.

Its only at times when its just a bit laggy. I can live  

Thanks Calum!

As for the norton idea, ill give it a go.Turning Norton off is a good idea also.
It's good practice to turn off unnecessary background programs when gaming.
But if you play online, leave your AV and firewall on or you are at risk.
If the defrag helped, I bet the game files were just fragmented.
You're welcome anyway.calum the best way to do it would remove norton lolHaha, good point.
Maybe a little extreme, but something to consider.
Eredell, how long do you have left on your subscription?when its over COME find me or someone and well help you get rid of norton and set you up with some better software( for free and [highlight]if you want to we dont force anything[/highlight])Hah, 193 days left.
Yeah, Ill turn it off.. (Once I figure out how)
 right click the icon in the TASKBAR and select disable

see if that will help the game any There isn't a choice of disable for me.what norton do you have??

Ok, I am just starting pc gaming. Yes, I have been playing consoles forever. Ok, so I bought a xfx 7600 gt (PCIe), and I was wondering, does it help aiming wise? I just got done playing 007 Nightfire, and I sucked. Now I am not as bad of a shot as that game.

If you want my specs they are:
Vista Home Premium (x32 bit)
2 gigs ram
1.8ghz core 2 duo
and on wed. the xfx 7600 gt

I am using the STOCK hp mouse and KEYBOARD. Calum, I am have 2142 and will be up and running by wed. I want to join your clan, I got a headset, so send me the info on your vent, if you have one.Ooh, very nice, another recruit.
I just posted in another topic saying add me, but this is even better.
We don't have a vent or TS server unfortunately, but as the clan grows that's something I'll look into.
I have a lot of free time right now so I may sort it out soon.

Back to the topic . . .
If you're finding you're a bad shot, you need to identify why this is.
It could be that you just need more practice, it can be hard to adjust to PC games if you're used to console games.
The other thing is that it could be your mouse and keyboard, and/or your control setup.
Stock setups are often not ideal, get a real mouse and maybe a better keyboard.
I always thought my old Logitech Pilot was fine, until I got my G5.
Now I can't understand how I got along with the Pilot, the G5 is so much better.
So, I recommend that.
Also, get a decent quality mousemat.
I use the Icemat 2nd edition, granted it's expensive but it really makes a DIFFERENCE.  It'll also alst for ages and it looks great, as does the G5.
As for the keyboard, it's your decision in the end.
If that one's fine, keep it.
If not, look for a quality one.
I advise testing it first to see if you like it.
Some people prefer ergonomic ones for gaming too, so consider that.
In the end, it's the choices you make regarding controls that makes the most difference, arguably.
Try out some setups in single player before you take it online, see what feels best for you and try out lots of different ones, tweak every setting you can to make it right for you.
Everyone is different so everyone has their preferences.

Sorry for the long post, it sort of degenerated into rambling about general gaming tips.
If I've missed the point, let me know and I'll post again.
P.S. Nice PC.Thanks for the compliment. I am gonna get a mx518, I used that one at a friend's house yesterday, and fell in love with it. Maybe it is just practice, but I guess we'll find out when I get my mouse.

Thanks for the post, it helped a lot. I am gonna get that icemat, but I just loved the mx518.

I will see you on 2142.The MX518 is also a very good mouse.
Good decision, I hope you're happy with it.
See you on 2142.
BTW, if you're going to join my clan, you should register on my forum too.Will do that right now. Quote from: PERFECT Agent52 on May 27, 2007, 01:05:40 PM

Will do that right now.

Anyone know a good computer game, thats not 2 high end and is fun to play Battlefield 1942 is a GREAT game, not high end at all and its a great game.


ChrisWow thank you for the reply's i think ill try a couple of those off proph's list. I think my brother has COMMAND and Conquer so ill give that a shot try simcity, starcraft, homeworld, command and conquer (any of them), and maybe even descent 3.It all depends on what you like RTS FPS MMO Flight Sim RACING etc.

RTS-Command and Conquer Generals / Zero Hour
FPS-Some of the early Quakes
RPG-Diablo Franchise , HEROES of Might And Magic Franchise


Haha I just noticed your avatar of River City...man that brings backs some great memories... lol You can never beat the classic nintendo games  To play C&C Genreals, you'll more then likely need a RAM upgrade for smooth play.

(If that 256 Ram is actually what you're running XD)My favorites are BF2 , AAOL, and Joint OPS. I guess you can say i'm a fan of military games.  if you want a free online game then try Flyff..


if u get it add my characters and i can help u

no offense intended, but i personally believe that second life is far too "free roaming". the fact that you are able to do virtually anything may lead to users believing that second life is their "second life". the user may lose grip on their own reality as second life becomes their new reality; they may be enveloped so much by their "god-like" power and anonymity, that their own life may appear as dull and boring. the user may forget about improving his/her career or accomplishing their schoolwork, and may, in fact, spend countless hours playing a game, and looking forward to playing a game, that achieves nothing in life. i see it as being highly addictive, dangerous, and destructive.

As for adventure quest? WTH is it? does even have a story or plot?

I found a few articles about a gamecube portable. Here's a pic of it:



There are some other ones that ill put up here later. On the outside of the case, it has an mp3/cd player function. While i'm not sure of the details I think it will be a gamecube with a jumpdrive and dvd-r mini for the music. may even play divx movies not sure. Not even sure if it's REAL!WoW never would have saw that coming.

 8-)fffreakwhat do u mean by that??? This is a fan-made cube-portable. Top one's CALLED Gamecube advance and bottom is called gamecube portable. i think i like the top one better. Kind'of hoping they'd release a cube portable when they did the wii.No what I meant was, Nintendo has pretty much always the portable video GAME leader. I was suprised to see SOMETHING like the "Gamecube advanced", Is this even legit? Does it work for sure? Where did you find those pictures?

 8-)fffreakI got the pics from google. The top one is unsure and the author is unknown. The bottom is for sure and the author is known (i forget his name though)I dont think they should make a gamecube portable the gamecube itself didnt do very well.  But who knows.........What else do u suggest after the DS dies?That second one is the true definition of "portable".  I bet that baby just slides in and out of your pocket like a champ.Wow. This was made by amateurs? Cool!

My first all time VISIT to the Gaming Forum and guess what i SEE ? ? Oh Joy....another Poll....LOTS of COLs at that one.
Really your first visit?
I think I've managed to MAKE a visit to each forum, perhaps not a useful one but I'm pretty sure I have posted in them all.Nope. First time...the "Command Prompt" Forum was empty so i STRAYED here...

Im playing DAOC and I can never play more than 5 min without getting booted because of internet connection.  The lights on my cable box never FADE, and i set all firewall settings to allow the GAME access to the internet.

HOwever, when i remove the firewall, than i have full access to the game and never get booted. I have used ZoneAlarm and teh WindowsXP firewall with the same effect on both of them. ANy suggestions?There may be 1 or more files needed to access the internet for you to play your game correctly. For example 1 file sends data to a client and another file accepts data from the server. I am not to sure for I don't have that Game, but I hope that helps .

 8-)fffreakHave u tried activating 'Game MODE' on zonealarm? that should allow all things that is needed for the internet connection between you and the server to pass through...How do i do that?From what I can remember when I used ZA, RIGHT click on its icon in the system tray and select game mode.
I may be wrong and it's not there at all, if I am then someone else please say so.
Been a while since I used ZA. Quote

right click on its icon in the system tray and select game mode

Can someone help me? a few days ago, there were no PICTURES on the websites(well, some of them), and now, it can't connect to some game servers, and now, something's wrong with my MSN Messenger!
Does anyone know what's wrong? Is it my computer's problem or the internet? :-? I don't know, try uninstalling and reinstalling?It is most likely an internet problem. Who is your isp? Broadband or dialup? Do you have a router or hub? What is your OS?Now I can SEE the pictures with LINKS on them after I turned off Norton's Ad protection... but I still can't connect to game servers like Habbo Hotel(habbo.com)

My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
ISP: Bell, I think it's BroadBand... :-?
I have a router connected to my computer...
And, what is a hub? :-?i WOULD say if you cant connect to habbo hotel, leave it that way.

What's the video card?
Has the game every played properly on your system?
Have you downloaded the latest updates for the game?
Have you downloaded the latest DRIVERS for your hardware?

Looks like you're running very low on available memory, 36MB of 256MB, which might be part of your problem, but looks like you still meet the minimum system REQUIREMENTS for BF1942.Sounds like the graphics card it not supported/too old.

I had the same problem with NFS: Most Wanted, when I ran it on a 32MB TNT2 

Couldn't see any of the gauges, roads or textures....just geometric objects

Ok so my wife and I are getting a little tired of playing Civilization 4 and are looking for a new game of the similar type. I am wondering if any of the fine members here have tried out "Elemental War of Magic" and would like to know what the general thoughts are on it?

We tried Civilization 5 but didn't care for it.Do they have a TRIAL version or demo of the game that you can download and try?I have tried to find the demo but can't seem to locate one. Quote from: mroilfield on November 23, 2010, 08:39:30 AM

Had anyone played NFS Hot Pursuit 2010...
I played it the gameplay is nice but the graphics are not soo pleasing...
What you all people think about it...I've seen it but haven't played it, I actually thought the graphics were really good.  What display setting are you using?I think the graphics are fantastic and the gameplay sucks.  I really wanted to enjoy this game, but it wasn't nearly as fun as the original.

It's not a place for you to ask stupid easily researched questions without performing even a basic google search, if that's what you're assuming.

You've been directly rude to more than one member. Knock it off.

thread necromancy is considered rude by some also.

But I meant something different when I was referring to a Dip.

No you didn't, and don't insult our intelligence by saying otherwise. If I were you I'd just stop digging and move on.

Hi all. I have been recently struggling with an issue that seems to lead to all negative signs.

Basically, after barely 1-2 MINUTES in any 3D game, the computer locks up, the screen pixelizes in a mostly purple colour and the only way out is a hard reset. I'd attach a screenshot, but it's pretty much impossible to obtain one. In some games, this doesn't seem to occur until the game is being actively rendered (so I can wait around for a while on a main menu, but as soon as I load a game it locks up). I've researched somewhat on the issue and everything I've seen seems to be linked to the Video Card being fried, overheated etc. Naturally I started to fear the worst as I'm not really in the best financial position right now to spend on a brand new card.

I guess the reason I'm posting this is just to be able to hear from some experts and see what you guys think on the issue. I'm not really expecting a miraculous fix but if there's any chance I don't need to replace my Video Card, I will grab at it. I have run a program called FurMark and, though it hasn't locked up the computer, it shows temps. of the Video Card maxing out at around 75 degrees Celsius if that information will help. I have also checked the cooling fan on the video card while the computer and games are running and it is working fine, though it does appear to making a loud whirring noise (which has been going on long before the current problem).

My system specs are as follow (what I could find):

Microsoft WINDOWS Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 2 (build 6002), 32-bit
2.5 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600 GT
1.5 GB Video RAM
AMD Phenom(tm) 9600 Quad-Core Processor

Not sure what else to ADD to the list...

Any help would be much APPRECIATED as I am becoming very frustrated with this issue!Perhaps a runtime error or your graphic card has a defect? I'm not sure...   

I have already a problem like that and it was the graphic card  Do your computer specs support the games REQUIREMENTS?
You can try Can You Run It? to make sure that your system supports the games in question.

Have you tried to reinstall the video card driver?
Video Driver for your card.

What else do you have running in the background that might be interupting it?

I am at the part when I am fighting zeus when I get the circle over his HEAD I hit the circle button but the other symbols are so fast that I can not get to them in TIME is there a way to get him without the symbols Nope you have to USE the symbols just like in ever other major fight in the game. If you think the symbols are coming too fast when fighting Zeus how did you manage to make it to him?I 've noticed something that caught my eye ,When ever my wife would play it seemed to slow down ,soo what I did was not stare at zeus's face ....look away  and some how it seems like it SLOWS down with that I managed to beat the game,,, THANKS all for responding

Hi, today I installed this game and all I get is a light blue screen in-game? I've tried everything- different resolutions, different settings, even different rendering methods (hardware, DirectX software, game software) modes, nothing I can think of can solve this issue.
I played this game (demo VERSION) before, on an XP computer around 2003, it was really slow and I had FPS issues but it ran fine. I recently remembered playing this game (demo) and how great it was and DECIDED to see if I can get it now. I picked it up cheap off a friend. I really want to PLAY this game (remembering the demo seemed pretty good) pls help me?

my comp SPECS:
Windows Vista x64 Home Premium
Intel i7 920 cpu
6GB DDR3 1333 ram
nVidia GeForce GTX285 1GB graphics

is it possible my graphics card is too good for the game?

Well, I met this PROBLEM when I was installing the game, I tried to reinstall many times, but I still can't install the game successfully ... Can anyone TELL me how to solve this problem ? please help me T.T



Is this a new game disk?I'm having the same problem. I'm at my wits end with this game. Brand new, got it yesterday, tried to install: error. This one in particular:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Transformers - War For Cybertron\TransGame\CookedPC\MP_UND_Gorge_ART_m.xxx

It tells me to verify this file exists by finding it. I've tried, I can't. I know basically nothing about this depth into computers and every time I press retry, the error COMES back a minute later, meaning the retry has failed. I'm really UPSET that I can't even install the STUPID thing.

Hello, 2 years ago, I bought my first computer, a Gateway GT5692, which came with a lot of memory but not much in way of a video card. Shortly after I bought the computer, I bought a copy of Batman:Arkham Asylum  before I knew anything about video cards I finally invested in a nvidia GeForce GTS 450 card and when I saw how much better my games were looking, I thought all my problems were solved, yeah right. Being a huge FAN of the X-Men, I recently bought a copy of "X-Men Legends 2:Rise of Apocalypse" and when I CHECKED the com patability with the nvidia it said excellent but when I tried to play the game, I got nothing but a blue cursor in the MIDDLE of the screen. I went to Activision's  support site, found some tips, and tried out each one. They were all the usual advice(Check Drivers, Check requirements, shut off all BACKGROUND programs, etc...). After I did all of this and still got zilch, I decided to see if the Audio Drivers might be causing a problem, disabled all of them and ran the program. Success!!! I realized I couldn't play in silence though, so I looked online for non-HD audio drivers. All of mine, nVidia and Realtek, were both HD. When I was finished installing the new drivers, I tried the game again. Nothing but the cursor. So I went back and disabled the Audio drivers once more and this time it didn't do anything to help.  I have contacted Activisions support but, believe it or not, my email account was stolen a day after I sent in the request and I haven't been able to get my account back yet.
 If anyone can offer some advice I would really appreciate it, I'm dying to play my X-Men game.
Computer Info:
Gateway GT5692
Vista 64-bit HOME Premium, all available service packs
nVidia GeForce GTS 450
4 GB RAM
500 GB Hard Drive
Realtek Sound card
I use AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware security programs.
 I will be happy to send whatever other information you might need. Thank you again and sorry for the long post, I wanted to get all the information in.

It looks like an amazing game, I am especially looking forward to the SMART terrain SYSTEM. I love FPS games where you have to think 3d.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-brink/49785From what I've seen of it, I'm not really all that excited about it. MAYBE I'm just watching the wrong videos, but it looks like just another FPS to me.It's basically an FPS trying to ADD Mirror's Edge elements.  They're really excited about this system of theirs, but I'm not terribly impressed by something that simply lets me push a button while my character does special tricks.  I'd MUCH rather be given the ability to do the tricks myself (just imagine this with Kinect capabilities).  But with that said, it still looks like fun and I'll eventually pick it up if I can't procure a copy from Bethesda, although they're usually pretty good about sending stuff out.I don't look forward to any games.

Generally I tend to glance backwards. Mostly because older games are a lot easier to RECORD gameplay of so I can make stupid commentary and generally embarrass myself on youtube.

Alright so i need some help with my computer, every time i try and play a game on it it freezes and the screen either looks like the picture or half of it flashes blue and white.
this always happens like 15 seconds from when i start it, and the computer works perfectly for everything else, does anyone have a clue on what is wrong?
also, i have had this computer for about 2 years and PLAYED many HIGH end games on it for that while perfectly, but i can't even play freakin' minecraft now!!

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Perhaps a runtime error???I had a similar issue before and it turned out that my video card had over heated and was now junk. i was able to do everything else but play games.Check that your video cards contacts are clean and the slot is free of any DUST. It may also be an OVERHEATING issue.tell me your OS (OPERATING system)

it might be because you are running a high level game in a crappy OS

Hey guys!
I'm a complete Sims geek, and I actually bought a new laptop in order to play the game on Monday. (Thank god for xmas sales!)
It REACHES all the specs, minus the cpu and cpu speed. I'm a total doofus when it comes to game specs, but using the canyourunit website, it says that

"   
CPU
Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]
You Have: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 900 2.20GHz"

and the CPU Speed
"CPU Speed

You Have: 2.19 GHz"

As I've said, I'm a complete tool when it comes to pc game specs, but I've been informed, (rightly or wrongly), that a low cpu speed will just make the game a wee tad slow. I'm okay with a wee bit of lagging, but not a major amount. Heres the rest of my system specs for good measure-

Model-Dell [email protected]
Processor-Intel (R)Celerom(R) CPU 900 2.20GHZ 2.19 GHz
RAM-2.00 GB
System type- 64-OPERATING SYSTEM

ANd the game specs-
FOR WINDOWS XP

* 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1 GB RAM
* 128 MB Video Card with support for PIXEL Shader 2.0
* The latest version of DIRECTX 9.0c
* Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
* At LEAST 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games

FOR WINDOWS VISTA

* 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1.5 GB RAM
* 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1
* At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games

* 0.5 GB additional RAM

THe laptop is a dell inspiron 1545 on WiNdows seven,if that helps. So whats the verdict? Do you think I COULD play it?

Thanks very very much for reading, and any help would be greatly appriciated!!

IF this question was already asked then sorry.

Well just as the topic titles says....well?

I tried to run halo 2 on 768MB ram and my ram showed 100% and the game would still run but hiccup very bad. even on low settings.

So if i upped that 768MB to say 2GB then will those hiccups act different?

MAin question is what the title says.  Yes, get more RAM.
With Vista you need to have 2GB for good performance.
Especially with action names. Quote from: thetechguy on DECEMBER 28, 2010, 01:35:56 PM

MAin question is what the title says.

I recently got a new graphics card for christmas, Nvidia GTX460 1024mb, replacing my 9400GT, which works fine, untill i play GTA 4, randomly, from about between 10 and 60 minutes, ill get BSODed and obviously my computer will reset. ive googled, and the problem seems to be quite unknown and techies appear to be guessing all over the place as to what the problem may be, there was no problem (besides obviously performance) with my OLD card, ever since the GTX460, its crashed.

my specs:
Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 2.66Ghz
2.68 GHz, 3.50GB RAM... ive forgotten where to FIND anything else... sorry

also, some have SUGGESTED a heat problem, so if anyone could tell me how i can properly check the temperature, it would be much appreciated.

also, i noticed that during the bluescreen on the top an error of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL appeared.

I started using my notebook to play The Sims 3: Late Night few days ago (I used to use my desktop computer, but it's broken down)
I got no problem with installing, launching and loading the game, but when i start playing for few minutes, it start pausing. the screen keep showing where it paused and didn't move no matter i click what. however, the background music keeps go on and i have to press 'ctrl + alt + del' to get back to the desktop.

I have checked those requirements afterwards with the website i found in this forum: "http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/", and here's the result:

As it's mentioned.. i've passed the analysis, then why i got paused during the game? is it because i only got minimum pass? or are there any problems that i don't know? (Cause i don't know much on computer stuff...)

Can anyone help?   Thanks a lot!!the RAM

RAM generally decreases over time of use due to clogging up and natural causes,

how long have you had the notebook, if you have had it more than a year, then i suggest not to play it, 'cos you will *censored* up your hard drive or whatever's in that thing and the game still wont run.

EITHER get some more RAM, (if you can for notebooks, probably not)
                                         or fix your desktop comp.Ignore the above post.

natalo77 - last warning. Either stop posting nonsense or we will have to restrict your ability to post on this forum.agreed with allan .

Not bad, right? Well... I seem to have a underwhelming graphics card... and I was LOOKING to upgrade, since i'd like to play a few games (Sims 3, Starcraft II, etc) on higher settings... but... when I used the website "Can You Run It"... this is the output I GOT, and it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me...


if the PICTURE is too SMALL or something..... http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7926/sc2hh.png

It seems that I don't need an upgrade... but the site says I do... and I'm rather confused.

If this site is wrong, or if I'm just reading it wrong, what graphics card should I buy? I believe the power supply is 300 or a little more... which is kinda bad, but yeah. it recommends an upgrade because you don't have a graphics card, you're using on-board graphics.Well, you can buy just about any graphics card that matches you PCI or AGP slot, these are the ones that Blizzard has tested and approved for StarCraft 2, that being SAID, you can use most any relatively new graphics card for StarCraft 2. The question is how high of settings do you want to play on? the higher the settings (for StarCraft) the more robust the card should be

I've been playing DDO alot.  It's my first online game I've ever played with a keyboard and mouse and I'm THINKING about spending some money on a mouse.  Do any of you have favorites or ones not to buy?I use a Logitech MX620. The Logitech G5 is a bit more expensive but is very popular.I use the g500.   A little overkill but still a good mouse.Logitech have some quite good gamers mice which last gaming.
Razer is better quality for hardcore gaming.
Razer mousepad are great for any lazer mouse.

Depends on FEATURES and the cost you want to spend.

First look at:

Tracking Resolution - 1800dpi+ is good

Image Processing - 5.8 megapixels/second+ is good

Max Acceleration / Max Speed / Responsiveness - if your a First Person Shooter styled player but likes snipering you might want a speed toggle control. Some gaming mouse have weights which you can add/remove to change the feel and control. This all depends on your STYLE of playing.

Durability - 10 million clicks+ / 250 kilometers+, more the better life span! Quote from: Doug on September 24, 2010, 10:19:32 AM

One more thing. Choosing a mouse, almost most important is to save money.

I was told wireless mouse not as good as wired mouse for gaming. Is this true?

I know many gaming mouse are wireless like ones made by Logitech.

Hello,

I have a friend who loves games and he wants to try and learn to make one.

Anyone know any good free software that he could use.Well, making a game from scratch requires programming knowledge, and quite a bit of it at that. There are options out there that have editors to make games that run on certain engines. All that is required then is a little patience and some imagination. There are far too many to list, and it would all depend on what kind of games he was interested in creating. You could GOOGLE for something like "game creation software" or something similar. There are a ton of free options out there, all depending on what kind of game he'd like to make. Quote

Ok so recently i have been playing my pc version of GTA VC with a USB logitech game pad. My question is am i able to get the game to auto position the gun and have a pink aim circle like on the ps2? Im having trouble positioning the gun with the game pad to a position. Its difficult to aim.here is an example in a video on youtube if u don't understand what i mean. I can sometimes have a hard time explaining things. Anyway in the video the shooting starts at 1:15. U will see a purplish pinkish cirlce THATS what i want on the pc version. Can i activate this or is there a mod i can get to get this?

THANKS,
ComdaOn the PC don't you hold right click to bring up the circle? That's what I recall from GTA3 anyhow.
Maybe check the controller config before you load a game to see if you can re-map the key to a BUTTON on your game pad.Is he talking about.. well, what I ALWAYS call "Z-Targeting" (lol) that's definitely in the configuration menus. GTA3's is that box thing that shows up and VC is the circular thing that could have easily been shown with a image rather then making us watch a vid.After watching the vid....
I believe this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6LYdBqd-g is what you are looking for yes this is what i've been looking for. Thank-you  bothKurtiskain and  BC_programmer for helping me out with this.

      Bad video card drivers!     
      -----------------------     

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

the Client requires more oomph then the browser version, and both are hardly the "lite and simple" games that many people like to paint them as. Sure, it looks like a simple game but it is not- It get's my GPU and CPU fans running full tilt after a few minutes, which I cannot even say of Just CAUSE 2.

Aside from trying This driver, which is reported to work for some people, you should also make sure Java is updated.

Also, the two games you noted both work when the pixel format is emulated. Minecraft(or more precisely Java) requires that it be accelerated for whatever reason.yeahhh i have just updated java now would there be any way to accelerate  the pixcels ?
