Hey,

I remember games like Terminal Velocity very fondly, and I also liked Fury3 and Hellbender, though I must say I preferred Terminal Velocity's universe for some reason.

Anyway, enough about that, I've seen Hellbender and from what I can tell it seems to be a whole version upgrade of an engine like that of Fury3 and Terminal Velocity, hence the more in-depth environments, tunnel system ETC.  It was able to do good INDOOR and outdoor areas in a level where Descent II, a competitor at the time, only did indoor LEVELS.  Even if I know it's a dead genre on the PC these days, I would like to, at least someday, make an arcade space game like those three games and there would have to be some sort of engine out there that could be used to make a game like Hellbender but with different content, styling etc.  If anything I'd think such a game would be easier to make, whether USING authorware or from scratch, than, say, an RTS.

So, is there any such authorware-software or engines for such out there that would work with a Windows 7 x64 environment?  I've got ideas for the story as I'm an avid CREATIVE writer but the fact is that my creative writing alone isn't going to make the game itself a reality.  So, is there any hints for authorware or engines?  Freeware is preferred, though I might be open to a reasonably-priced option (US$200.00 maximum limit as that is about AU$200.00 - for me, very expensive and I'd need to consult my father - with less than US$50.00 being most reasonable given current exchange rates).

As some may know. I've been trying to backup my PS3 onto my 1tb HDD but it was not working. I found the solution.. kinda. The ps3 can only back up to a FAT32 FORMAT and not NTFS. You may think... oh well just re-format a partition say 150gb to FAT32 but you would run into a minefield. Windows will NOT format a partition/drive any bigger than (some say 2GB, others 4gb). Other's swear they have done 60gb... who knows, but I can tell you now it aint doing 150gb. I tried a CMD prompt attempt using  'format (Drive letter): /FS:FAT32'  this started up and even stated 'formatting 1500000m' so I was like yeah! Then it stopped part way through with an error. 'File to large'.
I then WENT about half way round the internet reading lots of nonsense to find a program.

http://www.compuapps.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=112:swiss-knife-v322&catid=48:drive-managment&Itemid=193

Ran this program and within 30secs I had a fully FAT32 formatted partition of 150gb.

Now I just need my PS3 to pack in again with a YLOD to force me to buy a new one... but atleast all my IMPORTANT saves/data is backed up.

Just a tail of the nightmare I went through just to back this pile of poop up. Plus now I can run media off it from my laptop, which is cool as I like to listen to music and iTunes tends to be a resource hog, especially when playing games like MINECRAFT.

If I want to PLAY 2-D SIM games on my laptop and I have a 320GB harddrive, how powerful should my CPU be as far as
brands and models (Intel, AMD, ETC...) go so that the games play smoothly without problems like freezing or long loading times?Read the specs for the Sims games.
Early versions of Sims worked on almost anything.
They always loaded slowly.Really CPU is the MOTHER of computer systems...

How do you properly backup and then use save data from Lost Planet 2 on another COMPUTER or if I uninstall the game and want to play from where I left off at a later time.

 

1st I backed up the entire folder from users>documents>my games>lost planet 2>

** I recieved an error that my save game data was corrupt once loading the game for the first time.

(the backed up save data worked perfect before when I first played it.)

_______________________________________ ________________________

 

2nd attempt (after advancing in the game all over again) I tried backing up the same folder again from users>documents>my games>lost planet 2>

AND the xlive folder from appdata>LOCAL>microsoft>xlive

I COPY both folders to the same folder LOCATIONS after the game was installed again (2 months PAST) and absolutly no luck! I still get the same error "THE SAVE GAME DATA IS CORRUPT."

IS THERE ANY OTHER FOLDER I NEED TO COPY OR BACKUP? I have searched google to no end and found nothing for the PC version.

Please respond, any info would be greatly appreciated.

PS. (I am not yelling with caps)

Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas on how to fix the bug with Fallout New Vegas that disconnects your wireless Xbox CONTROLLER if you shoot an enemy. I've ALREADY got a thread going at gamespot (thought it to be more up their street) but I would be grateful to hear any tips from here as well.

http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27561345&msg_id=327823960#327823960i hate 360 because of ring of the deathI have the solution! As it turns out, the game WORKS fine on Windows XP. This is because XP is still defaulted to use the 1.1 version of Xbox 360 Accessories (and drivers), where as Win7 (and I assume Vista) are SET to use the 1.2 version. Guess what... the 1.2 version doesn't work properly.

So any gamers on Windows 7 with headaches about fallout NV and your wireless Xbox controllers don't despair. All you have to do is:

1) Uninstall & delete your current drivers for your controller (you will need to connect the controller to be able to remove it). Do not restart yet!
2) Uninstall Xbox 360 Accessories from Programs and Features in the control panel.
3a) Disable your Internet connection (so that Windows doesn't automatically re-install the version 1.2 drivers).
3b) Restart the computer.
4) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming and download the software for Windows XP no matter what OS you have (obviously 64-bit for 64-bit users)
5) Install the software and connect your controller to install the old drivers.
6) Re-enable your internet connection, select do not update Xbox accessories, select "Remind me next week". (I've yet to find a fix for that).

Et voilà your controller now works properly.

[Why is 'Reinstall' correct where as 'Uninstall' is incorrect even though phonetically 'Reinstall' = "rain stall" & 'Uninstall' = "un install"?]

Just upgraded from XP Pro to WINDOWS 7 Home Premium 32-bit and found out that Need For Speed Carbon crashes immediately upon execution. Tried setting it up with compatability mode for Win98, Win2000/me, and Win Vista SP1 as suggested on google hits with others with this game crashing with Win 7, as well as renaming Movie folder in game to Movie1 and it still crashes with same result. Below is the crash info. Anyone know of the fix to this or ABLE to run Need For Speed Carbon with Win 7 32 or 64 bit?

Although it refuses to use 1440x900, just like far too many other titles ( )

EDIT: it looks like a "LAUNCHER" program is crashing for you (nfsc_link.exe) as opposed to the actual game executable (nfsc.exe).

Game runs fine most of the time, but will occasionally, WELL now quite OFTEN, will lock up, red static-like distortions appear all over the screen but sound continues. Only way out is the power button.

AA is disabled, drivers are updated and windows update has been allowed to run. I have cleaned the graphics of admittedly a bit of DUST but issue continues.

In Chaos Rising, issue would happen rarely in-game but more often in the Army Painter if lingered in for to long.

In Retribution, seems to be the main way for me to exit the game.A PHOTO of my screen when it locks up.

What do you think, good or BAD?

http://blog.games.yahoo.com/blog/192-onlive-99-game-system-the-future-of-console-gamingBad.  OnLive and other similar services are largely unenjoyable and unreliable.  While it is convenient, the resolution is generally quite poor, you are often forced to use specific settings that can't be changed, there is significant lag especially when there are a lot of users, and many people are misled into believing that they can play these games on any computer without having to worry about specs (the work is done on their end, but that doesn't mean your computer doesn't use its own resources).  It also eliminates the ability to use mods, which I think is an issue for many PC gamers.

Let's not forget that you have to pay for the service and then on top of that, you still have to pay to play the games.  And despite being digital, the games aren't much cheaper, if at all.  Maybe PC gamers are DIFFERENT, but the majority of gamers I know prefer to have physical copies of games that we can collect, share, trade, or sell.

Granted, something like this is good for some people, but like the PSP Go, a lot of the gaming community is uninterested.  I currently have a free subscription and I still don't want to use the service.I also wonder how GRAPHICS work? Is it similar to cloud?Sounds more gimmicky then anything. "hey look! We can stream games from other places!".

heyyy guys , would any of people who play mince craft know how to make a lan server to play with my mates Assuming you are using the "standard" Minecraft server available from minecraft.net (I'm also assuming you are using Beta as opposed to Classic)

you would change the values in the server.properties file; specifically, you want online-mode to be "false" and "check-names" to be false, otherwise it will be required for them to login to the minecraft.net server (I'm assuming that you want a LAN server because they haven't purchased minecraft for themselves).

If it's classic, well, I don't know. Personally, I consider classic to be more akin to a 3-d paint program for kindergarten children, but that's just me.  i own the beta and my mates do i want a to CREATE a lan server for in colalge when me and my mates have break and use out laptops to play it Quote from: blackrainbow on February 02, 2011, 09:47:05 AM

well my friend has set up a server we could use   he is running it from  his pc .. it  running most of the time (as requested)  it is a survival pvp server at the moment, 

this is a free to play server (just don't grief) 86.11.54.222 it is not atm it will be up  it will be up around 6 (gmt) is there any particular time you would like the server to be up ..

Craig (Cengbrecht on the forum here, I think) has a server that's been up for a good month now:

mc578.servercraft.co:7777

personally I stopped playing when he switched to the servercraft address. It feels much slower to me.

That and I no longer have mod powers so I can't help people that get stuck in a pit near the spawn point except to throw them some dirt and wish them luck, since the game refuses to let you put stuff down near the spawn point until you get a certain distance from it.... which you cannot do if you are stuck in a pit.

I used to be able to play GAMES like garrys mod or counter strike on my computer just fine. However lately the only game that uses the hl2.exe that is working is the original Half Life 2 game. All other games like tf2, or garrysmod, or zombie panic crash at the "preparing to LOAD (gamename)" screen. I've tried several of the methods mentioned to deal with this INCLUDING CONFIGURING my DEP, TURNING on compatability mode, running the program as administrator, and clearing it with my firewall, and setting dx level to 88 but nothing seems to be working.

Well here it goes I hope this helps I've been to tons of site looking for an answer on this problem so here it goes. It started off early my WINDOWS XP Compaq Presario system was running fine up until Christmas where it got taken over by a virus long story short had to recover my machine with all my games and in GENERAL files being wiped from the system. Also at that time I installed RAM to upgrade my computer to 2.5gb of RAM around Christmas too, I have a NVIDIA Geoforce fx 5500 video card. The computer runs fine with ANYTHING but a game. I USE Panda, Super-Antispyware, and Eusing Registry Cleaner weekly so I don't think it could be a virus. Anyways continuing on I decided to play Portal/Garrysmod on Steam that day and it comes up with the usual box saying Garrysmod/Portal is loading {Still the game hasn't taken any effect YET} and then it goes to a black screen with the only thing on it is a teal blue square saying "Frequency Out of Range". From there I do not have to shut it down all I have to do is bring up the task manager using {Ctrl-Alt-Delete} and from there I can see again and shut down the game which it says is running smoothly. If anyone can help with this problem it would be most appreciated.

I have been LOOKING the past days for table top games in digital form, preferably playable over a LAN. When I type hotel in google though I get only lists of cheap hotels

Any help would be appreciated, I would prefer freewares first, but I MAY be able to persude the Mrs to buy a game too if its good enough

Thanks!take a look at pogo.com
also boardgamegeek.comThanks MATE, unfortunately pogo's monopoly is only in flash and I cant play it over my LAN.

I am browsing through the http://boardgamegeek.com/ site for a while now and maybe I find something.

So far I got a download monopoly but it was free trial.

I also CHECKED hasbro's own site but for the PC hasbro pretty much sent me back to pogo here http://board-games.pogo.com/games/monopoly which is about the same as pogo.com flash monopoly.

When i got home after a long DAY at school i was going to hop on a game called League of legends but when i get in a game it goes so slow it is impossible to play. Its not laggy, but the characters are like in slow mo. Same with wow here is a link on you TUBE ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwbd9VWjliU ). This happens on a lot of thing o my computer and its really bugging me. Im not sure how to post my computer information but i know this

I have seen this happen when you have a CPU that is running hot. The CPU Thermal Throttles and slows the CPU's executions down in an attempt to cool itself by processing less executions per second. I'd check your system temps with a utility like speedfan to make sure its not roasting with the games launched and underclocking itself to thermal throttle.I'd probably open the case and give the innards a nice cleaning ... get RID of all the dust there if any and to be sure there's DECENT airflow.

Just a thought... wouldn't hurt...

BC, it takes time to learn a new language. Be patient. Eventually you will understand if more fully.

Proponents of abandonware argue that it is more ethical to make copies of such software than new software that still sells.Those ignorant of copyright law have incorrectly taken this to mean that abandonware is legal to distribute, although no software written since 1964 is old enough for copyright to have expired( at least in the US). Even in cases where the original company no longer exists, the rights USUALLY belong to someone else, though no one may be able to trace actual ownership, including the owners themselves.

When i occasionally had questions about the UTILIZATION of their products i called them on their support line. They understand their products better than probably most of us do here. If their consumer support has not deteriorated i would RECOMMEND that you call them on your issue. truenorthok thank you i was just wondering if there was going to be any input lag because of the multi-device setup.well in that regard i suggest you emphasize the parameters of your computer so as to ensure at least minimum (hopefully even more) of the required resources of your computer.

From all the BLIZZARD games I think Starcraft 2 was the worst.
It was just like starcraft one but with alot worse scenario, a lot worse multiplayer and the graphics of warcraft 3 (almost 10 years outdated).

I've only played starcraft 1 for about 5 minutes total.

Hi
I want to PLAY Minecraft without be connected to INTERNET. Do you KNOW how?Play once while connected.

Then use play OFFLINE to play offlime.I didn't buy the GAME yet so I'm only playing the single player as well. Love the game. you can play offline in the browser window as well as just clicking 'play offline' on the offline application, its pretty simple,

I was playing The Witcher Enhanced Edition and I was in the swamp getting ready to head back to the city and I decided to save my game. As the game was saving like when it says "Saving..." the game crashed and the message pops up "The Witcher has stopped working and has to be closed" or something like that. This happened before and everything was fine because I just hopped back on and loaded my save but this time my save file was gone.

I clicked the "Load game" option on the title menu and it just says "No games available to load" or something to that effect. I then went to the game folder and looked in the saves files to see if it was truly gone but it's still there, my save from before is RIGHT there. For some reason it won't load in the game but it's there. I don't know what to do, is there anyway I can recover my save? I NEVER had autosave on because I hate how those pile up.

I really need to get this save back because I put in hours into this game and had almost beaten it, plus I was really enjoying the game. At this point I would just stop playing, I haven't the will nor energy to start all over again so please help. Ok, let's try fooling the game.

1. MOVE (not copy, MOVE) the current save game you have.
2. Start a new game. As soon as you can, save. (if naming the same is an option, use the same name as the old one)
3. Return the main menu, attempt to load this new save to VERIFY it works.
4. Exit the game completely.
3. Overwrite the new save with the old save. (keep a copy of this save in case this fails)
4. Start the game again, try to load your old save.

What this does:
If whatever record the game keeps of saved games was somehow corrupted or lost, this will hopefully create a new record, which hopefully the game will not care if it's the old file or the new one.

Anyway, let us know if it works. If not, I'll have to do some digging and see what I can find out about The Witcher saves (I don't own the game so I am shooting from the hip here). Quote from: quaxo on May 24, 2011, 10:45:03 PM

Ok, they've got a weird naming scheme for their saves.

Here's an example of a save game I downloaded. It supposedly loads at the beginning of the game, after the prologue.
000063 - Witchers' laboratory-063.TheWitcherSave

Not quite sure what the 63 is meant to be, but it looks like it saves the location name as well (Witchers' laboratory). I keep finding resources online for downloading save games, but none of them explain what to do with them other than put them here:

C:\Users\Username\Documents\The Witcher\saves

Which I'm guessing is the location your current save is at.

What's the name of the file you currently have?

Hi

I just got a 2008 version of rainbow six vegas 2 and the first time a started it up it WORKED great!
I then had to go to bed and the next morning i adjusted my graphics options (I have a ati 256MB graphics card) and ever since then it has been very laggy/slow in responing.  The music is playing fine but the graphics are just so laggy! 
I belive my computer can HANDLE it as it has done it fine once so what when wrong?
I adjusted my graphics to be of a better quality and yet somehow it made the game worse (when i reopend it)
I have tried returing it to the graphics original state and have unstalled and installed twice
Does anyone one know what is wrong and if i can fix it?

Thanks.Go here (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/), SELECT the game and click the button. Do you meet recommended requirements?Here are the minimum and recommended specs they listed for Rainbow Six Vegas 2... also, my pc has a Nvidia Geforce 9500GT graphics card and canyourunit tells me that it meets recommended specs, so if you have some similar gfx card, it should work.

hi all, i have been trying to get the my copy of Blood running on my PC utilising DOSBox v7.2, i have seemed to successfully install the game and go through the setup but then when i launch the game it starts to load up but then an error appears which reads:


"DOS/4GW fatat error (1012): C:\BLOOD\BLOOD.EXE is not a WATCOM program"

I have been searching for a sulotion for this for a while, i came across one forum that suggested i use DOS32A, but i could even get that to run.

any help will be much appreciated

regards
I have used FreeDOS for a bunch of old games that dont like DOSBOX, but FreeDOS is not like DOSBOX that will run side by side windows. I created a FreeDOS bootable USB drive and placed the games on it. Tons of DOS games can fit on a USB stick..lolThanks, i'll give  Freedos a go hey,

After much unsuccessful mucking around with FreeDos i have given in and purchased the game that i have ALREADY purchased more than 10 years ago from gog.com and it runs perfectly, should have just spent that 5.99 in the fist place.
thanks all the same for your help, i think i just lacked the knowledge to pull off what you were suggesting still sounds like a great IDEA and i will keep trying to do it, i like the idea of one thumb drive with all my old dos games,

CheersIf DOSBOX doesn't work, you can run DOS in a virtual machine (which will appear almost the same as DOSBOX). You can download VirtualPC 2007 from Microsoft's site and the latest version of DOS here: http://www.syschat.com/download60.html

Now, you just have to make a new virtual machine (which is pretty easy just using the wizard) and then you mount the ISO file of DOS found in the link and then you can install DOS. Now your done. Put your games on a CD and play them in the virtual machine.Blood has been working fine in DOSBox for me...DOSbox has a list of supported games and Blood is listed as a supported game.I tried VirtualPC 2007 with DOS 6.22 and many DOS games dont like the Virtual Graphics Adapter, especially the older games created for CGA and EGA displays that work ok under a real physical VGA adapter and display, but black screen or error out in VPC2007 DOS 6.22 virtual setup.Virtual PC uses a S3 Trio for emulation.

I've yet to find a DOS game that doesn't work under any Virtual machine that supports running MS-DOS. I have a S3 Trio (the exact same one implemented by Virtual PC) and I can tell you, any problems games have on Virtual PC are the same as they would be with the actual card... I'm looking at you, scorched earth... (That may be what you were saying Dave but I read it like you meant that the problem stemmed from the fact that there was virtualization at work)

Also, as for "DOS 7.1" there are a few points I would like to make:

-the installer says it's "GNU Software". It's not. it's the same DOS, they just ripped it out of Windows 98/98SE and added a crapload of other stuff. It's still proprietary. You can't just slap a "This is GNU Software" on top of something already licensed in another way and say it's legal.

-because of the aforementioned reason, it is technically illegal to download and use it if you don't have a proper license for Windows 9x.

-I'm pretty sure posting links that are "borderline" in this way be against the forum rules.

-What does this DOS 7.1 have over freeDOS? not much, really, at list with regards to running older games. Probably easier to get booting from a flash drive as well, additionally, freeDOS is actually free and there is no question or "gray area" or legal BS to try to comprehend with it (with the EXCEPTION of the GPL, I suppose (is freeDOS GPL?), which is a rant in and of itself)

I have FALLOUT on my computer and it WORKED just fine. One day when I was PLAYING, a pop up said FONV has stopped WORKING. Now everytime I try to load the game it says the same thing. I tried to install other games but it CONTINUES to do the same thing. I don't know what to do. Try disabling steam cloud if you are running through steam

You have a low-end, integrated graphics chip which is not suitable for modern games.
Halo 2 is not coded well for PCs and higher-end PCs at the time it was released could struggle at times due to this.
There's no way you can make Halo 2 playable on that, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Ive played it before. but cannot play it now.

I forgot to mention that I use a laptop.

Its Hard to upgrade a graphics card in  a laptop.

Its a Multimedia laptop so it is a better graphics card ive seen in most laptops other than dell xps, alienware, etc.

You can play Halo 2 very good with that video card. You might lose some FPS at some "busy" moment but it shouldn't be a big deal.

Hi All, I was just wondering what may cause connection Interuptions while playing call of duty modern warfare 2. I am thinking it may be that the computer in question is HOOKED up to a usb type (Netgear) network and not hooked up directly to a modem. Not having problems with my computer cause its hooked directly to the modem.    The other computer is brand new and but not hook directly to the modem, not going to bother to list specs , Unless Administrators need me to. I am running WINDOWS 7 and have DSL. Quote

That's the FULL system requirements... Your CPU seems to be lacking.

Plus we have NO information on the rest of your system. You have a Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 / 1.4 GHz in that machine.

Which, as the requirements say...is under minimum.

In my experience, having under minimum specs will not actually crash a game, however, just run it very slow.Thank you for your answers!

What other info on my system do you need?

Can the fact that the cards are not supported make the game crash? i could run it well before though... Quote from: kammii on March 15, 2011, 04:18:17 PM

Since you've just formatted, it's unlikely that you have malware unless the PC just recently got (re?)infected.

Also go to nVidia's site and download the latest drivers for your video card.

This is a Microsoft Windows Installer initialization error message that occurs when launching a corrupt Windows Installer-based package. This corruption can be caused by authoring errors in the setup itself, a virus, insufficient disk space when the setup was built or other reasons.

Okay, I'm pretty good with COMPUTERS but this has me totally stumped. 

Here's some basic info on my system:

HP computer with AMD Phenom 9750 processor
2.40 Ghz speed
8 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9100 video card
Windows 7

I know it's not the best video card, but I'm not a huge PC gamer so it's been fine for what I run on it.

I used to be able to play games like Civ 4 and Star Trek Online with no issues on lower settings.

But recently, within the last few months, when I'm PLAYING the games I start having some mysterious 'slowdown' during the game. Everything gets really laggy and slow and hard to run ANYTHING. It's like the game will be fine for 5 minutes, then the slowdown hits for 5 mintues, then it runs fine again.

Didn't used to do this until a couple months ago, like I said, and i haven't changed anything on the computer.

I've allready tried totally uninstalling and then re-installing the video driver and I am sure that nothing is running in the background. I've checked during the lag and CPU usage is no more then 20 percent.

I know I've allready run MSCONFIG in the past and pared my system down to running just the barest ammount of stuff. I didn't see anything in Task Manager that I don't reconize, or tying up any resources. The games are also running bare min graphic settings -- I've checked that allready also. And although STO is online, I've had the slowdown hit Civ 4 when running solo as well.

I use AVG (register) as my virus/spyware defense program and it's run a full check and FOUND nothing.  Also done a check with two OTHER malware programs and also checked for rootkits.  Also defrag the drive once a week.

Been playing some stuff over the last few hours and I can mention the following: older games and any program, like emulators, don't have any issues at all. The problem only seems to happen with more modern games like Civ 4 and Star Trek Online.

During the periods of 'lag' in the game, the ENTIRE computer lags. If I minimize the game (but leave it running) and do things like load web pages, navigate through them, or what not, then it's slow as well. When the game is not lagging, I can do all of that normaly. If I quit the game during a PERIOD of lag, then everything clears back up.

And it did NOT always do this. The problem just started a couple months ago.

So something with programs itself is causing the lag. I have allready turned the graphic settings down to their min.

I've looked at the Task Manager during slowdown and confirmed nothing is running that should not be.

Also, my Virtual Memory settings:
Virtual Memory: Total paging file size for all drives -- 7935 MB
Windows is currently automaticaly magazing the memory
Additional Info:

Minmimum allowed -- 16 MB
Recomonded -- 11902 MB
Currently Allocated -- 7935 MB

The only things that I've updated on my computer between then and now was the video driver and Direct X.

And I don't see one hint of malware or something tying up the PC during high perfromance games either.

I don't know what else I can try, but it sucks, cause it basicaly makes the games unplayable now for some weird reason.


After updating drivers it is sometimes nessecary to reconfigure graphics settings within the game. Also try the NVidia Control Panel and adjust 3d settings.

Good Luck!I allready have the graphic settings in the game down to the bare mins and I have used the 3D Control Panel to turn off all extra also.  Same problem.

Quaxo, the official SC2 site says there's SC2 is a triology so it has Wings of Liberty and two other expansions coming out LATER.

Quote

What is the STARCRAFT II Trilogy?
The StarCraft II Trilogy consists of the base StarCraft II game and two subsequent expansion sets. StarCraft II is SUBTITLED Wings of Liberty (working title) and will include a lengthy single-player campaign that focuses on the terrans and puts players in the role of Jim Raynor, one of the series' main heroes. The first expansion SET, Heart of the Swarm (working title), will follow later and include a single-player campaign focusing on the zerg and Kerrigan, Queen of Blades. The second expansion set, LEGACY of the Void (working title), will continue the story experience with a single-player campaign centered on the protoss.

Best bet is to not buy PC games second hand. Quote from: blackrainbow on March 22, 2011, 05:16:40 AM

Ok I TRIED to install a new GAME on my computer but I always get a message saying "failed to copy file" and the game doesn't install.  The THING is I've installed other games.  Any solutions to why this game won't install.  I run Windows 7: Home Premium, 64 bit OS.

Any solutions would be appreciated.We could start with the name of the game and full system specs. Otherwise, there's not much anyone can do.Bad MEDIA?

I was trying to launch a launcher to help get mods on a game when I tried to OPEN it it said "Application Load Error 5:0000065434" and when I tried a different way it said "The PROGRAM can't start because steam.api.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I REINSTALLED it but same thing! Please help! Did you reinstall steam? or the game?hey buddy
I THINK there have no any problem
I think you have the problem in your bios
I think the problem can be occurred in the OS
and virus can also make this kinds of situation
thank you very muchObviously you can ignore the above post.

So me and my bro wanted to play some older computer games. Mind you, we never really played multiplayer anyway so we both don't have too much clue about how that kind of stuff works. He has a Vista Notebook and I am using a Win 7 netbook. We both use the same network via router to connect to the internet.

Now when we try to host a game, the one who joins can't see the sessions. Tried messing around with various settings and IP addresses and Hamachi, but to no avail.
Anyone with more experience can give us a few pointers?
regards,

If you use it on the same router you don't need to use Hamachi.

And if you are in the LAN and still can't see each other have you tried online?
I may not need hamachi, but we still can't see each other , having tried running the game as admin and in compatibility mode (if that changes anything).

Tried online just the same (via ENTERING the IP address, where we have the same as we connect to the same router) with the same results, thing is we can't find ANY way to MAKE it work.So you can enter the IP address to join a game?

if so do you get an error?I can enter a IP Address of the one hosting the game, but it will still display "No sessions found"And you are sure you have connection between the router?

If you have win7 pro/business you can try
Start=>cmd=>MSG /server:"PC name" "acc name" "Text" and see if the message get to the other computer (No quotes)Only have win 7 starter, so..

And I'm quite positive we have the connection via the router, because over this network we usually send and share files.The only thing I can think of is to update the game to the latest patch, if that won't work I have no clue why it wont work.Considering the game hasn'T been updated for the last 10 YEARS, I doubt there's still a patch I don't know about

I know we don't get a LOT of gamers coming in here, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that a site I work for is running a contest.  It only takes seconds to enter yourself for a chance to win a copy of Portal 2 for your platform of choice.  And because we're still a small site, your chances of winning are pretty good.  Check out the full details here:
http://www.gogaminggiant.com/2011/03/06/win-a-copy-of-portal-2/Cool.... Almost makes me WANT to reactivate my facebook account.

almost! But still, that's saying a lot.Heh, and if I wasn't an "employee", I might consider creating an account!Awww...I want it 

Thoroughly LOVED Portal, hopefully Portal 2 can satisfy my need.Well, if you haven't ENTERED yet, there's still time to do so.  You just might get lucky!Portal's the best... Portal 2 coming soon

This is my first POST so I would firstly like to say 'hello'. Right, onto the matter in hand which is an on-going problem I have had for a long TIME now and despite much searching and asking around I cannot get anywhere so hopefully you guys will come up with an answer or suggestion for me. First of all, I have a desktop PC Windows 7 and have got all the lastest UPDATES installed including Service Pack 1 and many of the .Net Frameworks and Microsoft Visual C++ Programmes installed. I have a clean install of Flight Simulator 2004 (9) installed and I have been trying to install a programme called Ground Environment Pro which I BOUGHT and downloaded from the company's website. Now, this is the second time I have tried this and I always come across the same problems.

When I try to run the programme the first message I get is [microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Then I have to press OK...

 Then when I get the option if I want to backup my files it won't let me then I just get a series of error boxes popping up saying things like 'Ground Environment Error- The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context'. This series of error message comes up whenever I click on most of the options and sometimes the error boxes do not go away and in order to by pass it I have start the task manager and close the application.

 Now, I have actually been on to the company's website via their forum and explained what's happening and although I have had many replies none have worked. Suggestions have been things like making sure UAC is turned off, run the programme as administrator, download all the lastest updates, turn off your anti-virus plus many more, all of which I have done but to no avail.

 I googled SIMILAR problems and if you go into START-SETTINGS CONTROL PANEL-ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS-DATA SOURCES (ODBC), then I wonder if there is anything in those settings which I need to change or delete. I don't want to start messings around with it and cause further problems but if anyone can help on this matter it would be most appreciated.

 Many thanks for any help you can offer.

i match gta iv's requirements by a long shot, and it still lags like *censored*.

Otherwise, can we let this long dead thread remain dead?

A whip and a dead horse springs to mind.

Before I start, I will say that this thread has NOTHING to do with a power failure or house power-outage. Thank you for your cooperation.


Well, just today I was using the CryEngine2 SandBox2 level editor, and all of a sudden the screen goes black.
I try to hit the Windows key, nothing.
Alt+Tab, nothing.
Control+Shift+Esc (Task manager)
Nothing.

Finally I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and it comes up with the Windows screen asking what I want to do.
I click in task manager and then I close out SandBox 2, I think then, it went black again. Switch back to task manager, close out SandBox 2 from there, and then the screen goes black again, then after SB2 closes, the screen goes back to normal.

Since this game/level editing software requires High-Graphic and system memory, and is both a CPU and GPU hog, it is possible my Graphics processor stopped responding to display commands from the driver?  Either, way, it scared me.

I actually thought my GPU had fried or something, I'm taking as many precautions I can to save my GPU from SITUATIONS like this.

If anybody knows what this could have been caused by, please post your answer here, and what I can do to prevent this.

Thanks!

I've also had a situation like this where the display in the viewpoint messed up, where the shaders and lighting quit, and I just saw white spots floating around at random positions. And the screen was more in a grey-tone.

As I was saying, if anybody can think  of the cause(s) of this, please tell me here!
Thanks to you all!   A overheating graphics card can cause this issue, especially if the sound of the program continues in the background.
My HD 4870 can overheat when my fan dust filter gets blocked and I am in a hot environment.
The game i am playing will freeze on the screen, go black, but I can still 'play' eg still shoot the gun in Modern Warfare 2 and such.
After the card has cooled sufficiently the card kicks back in and it can run stable, of course it wil just heat up again.

Do you notice the fan get louder with use?If you're able to get out to the desktop with Ctrl Alt Del, then it most likely isn't a heat problem, as it would not display anything until it cooled sufficiently. It wouldn't selectively choose what to show. Most like, it's either a driver issue or problem with the editor. If it has only happened once, I wouldn't worry about it.

I take it you're not having trouble playing GAMES, just with Sandbox? Quote from: quaxo on July 20, 2010, 01:34:49 AM

sandbox2 is known to be unstable on certain (many!) platforms. Especially 32 bit ones. I see a lot of fancy yellow highlight and font trickery and no details of hardware/OS

sandbox2 is known to be unstable on certain (many!) platforms.

Like I said,

No OS details, I see. I presume that with 8 GB of RAM you are not running a 32 bit OS. That would be foolish. Are you using Crossfire? If you have a separate graphics card, why are you setting aside nearly 1 GB of RAM for onboard graphics?

sandbox2 is known to be unstable on certain (many!) platforms.

I'm sorry, I have an Nvidia GTS 250 GPU hooked up to the PCI-E port I believe, Its a one in a slot, so obviously its not onboard.

And the GPU has on it 1003 MB of DDR3 type memory, I think I believe it was.

My OS is Windows 7, if you ever looked on the left(!) side of the forum where User Information is put aside.
It is x64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

Does anybody use these things anymore? I'm probbably sure noone uses these nowadays... Anyway, if anyone has or had one of these things, PLEASE tell me if it is possible to put a original Gameboy game (.gb) FILE on the efa linker using the software. For some unknown reason, it won't let me sync anything other than .gba roms...... Help, anyone?It depends on which one you have, but I think most (if not all) of them weren't designed to work with GB ROMs, only GBA.umm... I don't have it with me right now, but i am pretty sure it was 528 Mb or something around that... And i geuss the obvious FACT slipped by my brain that a Gameboy advance cartridge should only support the files it was designed to CARRY (.GBA files).     Thanks for the help, Quaxo!This seems to have gone unnoticed, but it should be noted that it is against our forum rules to assist in piracy and other similar ILLEGAL activities.
