Solve : Modern Warfare 2? |
|
Answer» Does anyone KNOW if there's going to be a modern WARFARE 2 prestige addition for PC?not so much : http://www.google.com/search?q=modern+warfare+2+prestige+pc&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-ahttp://www.google.com/search?q=modern+warfare+2+prestige+pc&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-aThanks for the help. I don't know why Infinity Ward and Activision would choose not to make it for pc. There is no guarantee it won't be made for PC. Nothing is set in stone. The PC market is to vast for Activision to ignore. Watch this space or should I SAY that space.Yah its bound to be a hit for pc gamers so I don't see why activision would choose not to release it for pc.From what I've read they just keep saying 'may' and 'possible'. They always do this to hype things up.I work at bestbuy, and my MANAGER just went to a conference in Kentucky. He got a copy of the game, as a pre release. IT IS SOOOOOO sick. I have seen it played, and i'm not sure about the prestige mode. I didnt check. I will ask him when i go to work again. |

Solve : Fallout 3 crashes? |
|
Answer» I bought Fallout 3 recently, but am a bit disappoint with it. Can't play for more than 20 minutes without the thing crashing. Usually happens when opening the Pipboy but sometimes completely at random. I've downloaded the patch and everything. Even tried the to reinstall and tried it on my laptop as well. Anyone else have a lot of issues with it?I have experienced the same thing with both FO3 and ES4:Oblivion. (still do with the ES4) A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a FAULTY device driver or system service, or some software issues. Check Event Viewer (EventVwr.msc) for additional information.Quote from: patio on October 05, 2009, 06:48:36 PM From MSDN: Actually, now that I know what the error was exactly, I'm finding a ton of people that have (or had) this exact same issue. Seems the 190 and newer drivers are causing it. Kurtiskain is dead right. If I wanna play without crashing, I'll have to downgrade my drivers. Seems the 186 is the next one down that people are having the most luck with. |

Solve : Playing second life, getting logged off and losing music? |
|
Answer» I have a Dell XPS410 and run Vista. I have been in SECOND Life for a while but after they made me upgrade to a new viewer, I keep getting logged off and when I relog into the sim where it HAPPENED, I no longer have streaming music available. If I LOG into a different sim, I have music but if I teleport to the first sim again, the music doesn't change but I have the music from the sim I relogged into. It seems there is something on my system that doesn't like something in SL so I GET the Ping sound and get booted off. Any help would be appreciated.Might be a bad install. Have you tried completely UNINSTALLING SL and reinstalling it from a new fresh download?yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled and even went to the Emerald viewer thinking that would help. I will say that I found an extra cache folder in the SL documents that I deleted and since then it hasn't happened. I also used a software cleaner to do my hard drive. |

Solve : Guitar Hero: Van Halen? |
|
Answer» Does anyone else have this game? If so, are you as disappointed as I am? I mean, the gameplay itself is okay, but I was really hoping for more than just a GH: Metallica clone. What do you all think?I have to agree. My FRIEND has it and we were seriously disappointed with the outcome.is it any better then aerosmith? i was thinking of GETTING itAerosmith was a lot better. I think the music is probably better in this game, but the menus suck and the lag is almost unbearable at times. And so far, I haven't been able to find a way to fix it, as calibrating does nothing.If anyone cares, I think I have FINALLY found a solution to the lag problem. It was driving me CRAZY, so just for the heck of it, I popped in GH3 and calibrated the lag on that and then used the same settings in GH:VH. So far, the game has been running a lot better and I hardly notice any lag at all. The game is still SLIGHTLY disappointing (these menus are horrible), but at least I can get some enjoyment out of playing the songs now. |

Solve : Top MMORPG? |
|
Answer» Looks pretty nice, definetly something I will try. *censored* It's an RPG that can be played online. It doesn't exactly qualify as a MMORPG.I used to play RuneScape when I was 12 - 14 and I loved it... Never played any others sinces!theres alot of good games on that list but for me i like a game with good character custimisation for that reason i had to choose WoW. i also picked LoTRO because i think its a pretty awesome game and wasnt given enough credit, but hey thats just my opinion Out of curiosity, I decided to try Star Wars Galaxies today. I'd have to say I'm less than impressed with it. Definitely something I wouldn't pay for (I downloaded the trial). The graphics and game play feel so dated for a game that was released in 2002. Character movement reminds me of Anarchy Online (YET another failed MMORPG), very slow and clunky. The models overall are less than impressive. The whole interface is just awkward. Space flight and combat were terrible. If they had managed something along the lines of Eve Online or even Freelancer for space combat and the smoothness of play that WoW has for the planet-side of things, this game probably would have been far more successful. I don't know what it was like before they did their "combat upgrade" and other "improvements", but I'm glad I never wasted money on this.I think they went about the star trek one the wrong way. I shouldn't have been an MMORPG, and instead been an action title. you could choose from one of several characters: Kirk, whose controls consist of: A) ask SPOCK for advice. if spock isn't available, talk to himself in the form of a log entry, which just happens to be perfectly phrased to update anybody who is just tuning in. B) making, executive, decisions, without, hesitation, but, always, hesitating, while, speaking. C) make sure to send some flat, unheard of before character into dangerous areas knowing full well that they don't stand a chance. Spock who can: A) call the SCENARIO, "fascinating" unless somebody else suggests it to be fascinating, in which case it is merely "interesting". B) use the "Vulcan sleeper hold" thing, they think it's because of the action on their shoulder, when in fact it is Spocks intense body odour, when encountered unexpectedly, that causes them to pass out. Apparently deodorant is illogical as well. C) make trite observations about emotions generally in a way that allows any person that conveniently happens to be watching to learn something about themselves or far more likely cause some sort of plot shift or concept twist that changes the story, and everybody learns a lesson in the end. Except spock, who insists there is too much pepper in his macaroni salad. The Doctor, Deforest kelley... I mean, McCoy, Whose special moves consist of: A) Calling Spock a green blooded vulcan, ceaselessly, even after being told time and time again that Spock doesn't GIVE a *censored* what he thinks. B) becoming emotional for no good reason. Or for a good reason, which is quickly forgotten since nobody expects him to get emotional when it is appropriate. C) reminding everybody he's a doctor. "I'm a DOCTOR, not a nurse, now get me the hypo spray, or whatever we call it." D) using is extreme doctor skillz to tell people when somebody has died. Secret characters include Captain Picard, whose special move consists of standing up and pulling down his shirt so it's in the right spot again, and performing the "picard Palm" maneuver. As well as Data, who is very similar to spock but more amusing as they non-so-subtle-y use him to poke fun at human fiobles. Just like with spock, but without the pointy ears. Oh, and the b button let's him jump. No other character can jump. Not even Scotty (who is also a character... his special move is to remind everybody that he can't change the laws of physics, which he does anyway, or to say something isn't possible immediately before doing it. An additional feature is being able to take control of the enterprise and move it's strangely-plastic visage towards oddly blurry and often plastic-looking planets whose outward appearance can seem very hostile (dark green, red, various hues) while at the same time having surface conditions similar to earth. And for those that don't they wear poorly ventilated environment suits that look more like poor halloween COSTUMES then anything with any practical use. |

Solve : Chicaca needs your help!? |
|
Answer» Hello all first post on this site and I must say I LIKE the way it is setup. Anyway I have a technical issue that I need help with. I am an avid COD player since 2007. I am having serious lag issues within the last month or so. I have called my ISP provider and they tell me my signal is good as well as my IP address. I have a Motorola Surfboard 5150 with hi-speed cable connection no router with Ethernet connection. They also looked at my modem history and said all is normal. I have CHANGED out the Ethernet cords and even tried a usb connection and still while gaming my character freezes and jumps for short periods. I have also bought a pci adapter and plugged it in to one of my pci slots and ran my ethernet to it still same issue. I have AVG 9.0 anti virus and firewall have disabled both still no fix. I have also reformatted windows xp no help though. I also purchased TuneUp Utilities 2009 so all performance and maintenance is at peak as far as I can tell. I keep my gaming rig clean from dust and debris REGULARLY. I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to computers this is my first gaming rig a FRIEND help my build in late 2007. So any feedback as to how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciate what cod game? Well this issue started when I was playing World at War for the most part. I also had Modern Warfare installed and tried playing that with same problem. Now I only have Modern Warfare 2 installed and having same problem.well modern warfare 2 is probably because of the no dedicated server deal. Your not downloading anything are you? Whats your ping? Ping average is about 65, I am experiencing the connection interruption within Ventrillo as well and my ping holds at about 63 when in vent. So I am thinking it is more than just that......maybe IdK for sure :\ Oh btw no DOWNLOADS during gaming session to answer you question completely. |

Solve : Wow installer? |

Answer» i have Wow on my home pc but i got a new laptop literally 3 or 4 days ago and i began downloading Wow, the download was very quick but the installation is taking for ages, it just finished downloadin now (it dook 2 full nights and 1 day to install) is their a reason why? just incase its a hardware problem. any ideas?QUOTE from: computer_says_no on October 22, 2009, 08:34:40 AM i have Wow on my home pc but i got a new laptop literally 3 or 4 days ago and i began downloading Wow, the download was very quick but the installation is taking for ages, it just finished downloadin now (it dook 2 full nights and 1 day to install) is their a reason why? just incase its a hardware problem. any ideas? No, that sounds normal. WOW takes forever to install and download. The only thing I remember I had a problem with for a slow download is that it detected i had a firewall and i configure the right ports for the Blizzard Downloader.Actually, yes, that sounds pretty normal. WoW+both expansions+patches=long time waiting. There's actually a much faster way to do it, if you have the means to copy ~17GB (estimating there, my WoW folder is 17.7GB, but there's about 2GB in patch files that can be deleted). WoW doesn't require the installation to actually take place or the registry entries to be made, as long as all of its files are present. If you have access to an external drive or network crossover cable, just copy the whole WoW directory over to the other machine. Once it's copied over, simply create a shortcut to 'launcher.exe' or 'wow.exe' on your desktop and you're GOOD to go. The process takes a while, but nothing like installing it from scratch, and this way you have all of the patches and EVERYTHING READY to go, any installed mods already there, etc. This is what I usually do, as I have three machines that have WoW on it: work, laptop, and desktop at home. Also, when there's a very large patch put out, instead of downloading it on each machine, I just download it on one, then copy it to the others and apply it. This saves a lot of time too.thanks for the great advice |

None of them are on the Commodore64 either, should that be relevant somehow?3. But for pc I would go with 1 for the free multilayer.Quote from: computer_says_no on November 18, 2009, 09:31:07 AM i know, but if your'e posting on this thread then im guessing your'e a fan of the series, and if you were you would know that halo 3 isnt on pc This will be the second time I have POSTED in this thread and I can definitely say i am not a fan of the Halo series.

Solve : How many of you have tried modding or AI scripting?? |
|
Answer» I want to get a basic message on how "involved" people are in their gamesI've done both How many of your have TRIED modding? Yup. Yes i tried modding, for Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, where i changed unit stats and looks ALONG with some other things... (Even created Halo Characters...) i used a Geine editor tool that could of ruined my computer if i made a mistake along with some other things But, Halo Modding is much different from this so, you need to have certain tools for each game you want to mod in. Gets kinda confusing from there BTW, SWGB has one of the most in-depth map editor tools ever... I mean you can make any effect you want using SPECIAL triggers and conditions, for instance, you can set a trigger where if you move somebody to a certain place, 50 rancors appear and a feeding frenzy begins... |

Solve : Games run slower after few minutes of playing? |
|
Answer» Hello. My problem is quite weird - new games, with advanced graphics, such as Call of Duty 5, GTA IV, Race Driver GRiD after playing any of them few minutes (maybe about 5-10) run slower, however the first minutes of playing are comfortable, with high AMOUNT of FPS, after that few minutes FPS amount goes down, making playing almost impossible (15-20 FPS I GUESS). When I alt-tab them and wait few minutes, it goes to normal, but only for a while. It doesn't matter if the graphics settings are minimum or maximum, the same happens. I've experienced this problem several monthes ago, but after formating HDD and reinstaling my Windows XP PRO SP3 all games were working fine. However, recently the problem came back and even formating half of the HDD with the system didn't help. |

Solve : dos box? |

Answer» Hi, ...what do i do?What do you want to do?i want to play my old dos games. could you show me how? I have a floder on my mac desktop called PrincePersiaMaybe he is using: DOSBox for Mac OS X Which is an emulator.try using BOXER to get your DOS game to play on your mac... I BELIEVE boxer is only for mac so probably easier to use. see the two following links for HELP link 1 link 2sorry about that. I got dos box to work but i do have questions! -Do i have to mount C; every time i open the Dos box -How do i get out of a folder to enter a new one with out exiting it and reopening. -can i play present games on in. -if not is there a program that i can play pc games on my mac?If you have regular PC games (non dos ones) that you want to try to run on your mac without having to install windows via bootcamp or some program allowing you virtual windows environment, you can try CrossOver Games SOFTWARE It's ALSO worth creating a folder for e.g oldgames saved on the c:\ drive. This will make it easier to find all your dos games. See pic attached [Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]ok but i have to buy that. To play regular games non-dos on my mac i tried to install win 98 on dos box. I put the files from cd in the C:\ and typed C: programs\win98\setup.exe then it told me please wait setup is configuaring your system and i froze. Is there a reason it won't load or is my mac to strong for win 98 I have a: 2.2 GHz proccessor 115 Gb hdd 1 GB RAM DVD burnerDOSbox is for DOS programs, not windows. it's possible to get windows 3.1 to work with it, but it barely works at all. Windows 95 or above are definitely not going to work! to answer your questions: Quote -Do i have to mount C; every time i open the Dos boxwell, it will need to be mounted, but you could use a startup batch to mount it; I can't recall the file DOSbox uses for this, but it's probably documented in the help. Quote -How do i get out of a folder to enter a new one with out exiting it and reopening. As you are likely aware, "cd" or "chdir" changes the directory. However, there are also two "psuedo" directories in every sundirectory, single dot, and double dot. the single-dot is the same as the current directory; the double dot refers to the parent directory. also, remember that the slash \ refers to the root folder of the drive. Example: Code: [Select]C:\>cd games C:\games>cd arkanoid C:\games\arkanoid>cd .. C:\games>cd .. C:\>cd games\arkanoid C:\games\arkanoid>cd \ C:\> Quote -can i play present games on in. DOSBox is for older, DOS games. Not windows games. you will need to either have a Intel based mac and bootcamp and a windows installation or PC emulation software (such as VMware) and a windows installation to play PC games.

Solve : Star Wars Rebellion and Empire at War poll? |
|
Answer» Star Wars Rebellion is a old game with the same concept of Empire at War, taking the galaxy. But without land battles and poor graphics. Rebellion however had a much broad range game play features, like orbital BOMBARDMENT from a fleet.I was a huge fan of Rebellion back in the day and I also play EaW quite a bit still now. Essentially, EaW is a remake of Rebellion with a lot of added features like better graphics, ground battles, improved SPACE battles, etc. but they removed a lot of very cool features that Rebellion had, like bombardments, planetary siding based on player actions (like blowing up a planet with the Death Star would often result in planets hating the Empire and siding with the Rebellion), and more special characters like:
The list goes on, but in all there were about 30 characters from the Star Wars universe for each side in Rebellion, compared to EaW's 7 Imperial characters and 11 Alliance characters. A lot of the characters in Rebellion appear in the expansion EaW: Forces of Corruption, but still not NEARLY as many as Rebellion had. In addition to that, there are fewer choices for ships. In Rebellion, there were 19 different Imperial ships and fighters and 19 Alliance ships and fighters. EaW only had 14 Imperial ships and 13 Alliance ships (including special ships like the Millennium Falcon and Slave I). Also, the Rebellion in-game Star Wars encyclopedia of everything involved in the game was a nice touch they left out of EaW. thanks its nice to know some people still play that game |

Solve : PC GAME RELATED QUESTION!?? |

Answer» Ok GUYS i bought a computer game .. The Sims 3 if you must know... I wanna put the game ONTO my 180 GB Portable Harddrive.. as in.. not installed game but the game files.. like could i go to My computer > explore the cd > den copy all the files onto the harddrive and wuld the installer now be on the harddrive??? SOrry if you cant understandYes, the installer would be on the HARD drive if you copied the entire disc, but you would still need the disc in the DVD drive to play the game. What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?it seems like you want to have the installer ready available to install without cd ? I must point out that copying games is illegal and no advice on how to do so should be give on this site. More than once I've seen games not install properly on some systems requiring MODIFICATION of certain files which can only be done once it's copied off (The Sims 2 international version being one of them). The OP wasn't asking to crack the game. Even if he/she installs from the hard drive, it will still require the disc to play. As long as they aren't trying to bypass copy protection features, which there is no evidence of yet, then they're doing nothing wrong. Don't jump the gun there, sparky.looks like a spammer if you ask me. EDIT: it IS spam: googleQuote from a past reply: Quote from: Webby Alisha on March 30, 2009, 01:06:27 AM Gracey, when we use raid facility ,we can connect only 4 hard disk,because no any option r available in our motherboard thats why we connect more then 4 HDD. i think like this if any other answer u may get p, please inform me. this guy should know the answer already, definately a spammer |

Solve : Which Video Card?? |

Answer» I just bought this game NAMED Global Agenda but my FPS is like 6.76. Video Card: 256mb video ram or better with Shader Model 3.0+ (GeForce 8 series or higher/Radeon HD3000 series or higher You Should Prefer 8800gt (The Best Of All) Or 8400gt - Both Of "XFX" Or "HDMI" Quote from: the_mad_joker on February 26, 2010, 11:24:19 PM As Written On That Link You PostedBoth of your links 404. Oh Sorry 4 That =========================== Corrected Post =========================== You Should Prefer Nvidia 8 Series Thank you for the help guys Now I been looking around and I been having some questions: What is Standard, XT, XXX for PERFORMANCE? Difference between GeForce 8 series and the GeForce 9 series. Since I been looking at the XFX 9800GT and the GeForce 8800M GTX, which is good? Though Any1 Would Recommend Any Stuff To You I Suggest GeForce 8800M GTX Thats The Best Card Out There Quote from: the_mad_joker on February 27, 2010, 12:26:27 PM
two problems: that's a MOBILE Graphics card. for laptops. Not for desktops. it's the equivalent of the 8800 GTX, which is a great card, but to say it's "the best card out there" is to spread a lie. At this time I believe it was an ATI HD card... (I forget the exact model, I want to say.. err, 5870 or something) that was the absolute best consumer level card you could purchase. Quote from: DanteReborn on February 27, 2010, 10:23:31 AM What is Standard, XT, XXX for performance?The differences between, say, a 9800GT and a 9800GTX and so forth are really usually minimal; usually more stream processors. what's usually more important is the Actual Chip- (the 8800 and the 9800, AFAIK both use the same Geforce chip) as well as the size and speed of the memory it has. the extra letters kind of just BOIL down to a few extra features that you might not need at all. between the 8800M and the 9800GT, you are forced to get the 9800 on account of the M (again) being a mobile processor. Difference between GeForce 8 series and the GeForce 9 series. Since I been looking at the XFX 9800GT and the GeForce 8800M GTX, which is good? [/quote]Quote At this time I believe it was an ATI HD card I Think He Has His Own Budget Mentioned Quote from: the_mad_joker on February 27, 2010, 10:41:32 PM I Think He Has His Own Budget Mentioned He still can't get a 8800M, for reasons I stated.Quote He still can't get a 8800M, for reasons I stated.

Solve : C&C3 Kane's Wrath AI Fail? |
|
Answer» I would be amazed if anyone can figure this out but... I recently (yesterday) installed C&C3 KR and tried playing a skirmish on easy mode. Destroyed all the other CPU players with absolute ease and thought nothing of it. Later I played against medium CPU levels and realised that the game was horrifically easy because the CPU players were not collecting resources properly. My friend who has C&C3KW has sometimes experienced that glitch, but changing the difficulty of the AI usually does the trick. Thanks, I'll try randomising CPU difficulty to see if that makes a difference. Does anyone think that EA will ever release the SDK and finish patching Kane's Wrath?Quote from: Accessless on February 23, 2010, 05:30:44 AM Thanks, I'll try randomising CPU difficulty to see if that makes a difference.I can't remember how the AI levels actually worked, but he changed it from the most-difficult to the least, and then back to where he wanted it originally. |
