Nah. Aside from range issues with the thompson, I didn't see any problems. Pretty much what you would expect (one or two clicks per person).

And I like it and think it was worth the 30 bucks. Of course, I am mostly a fan of the new Operation Stonewall, since that is always what I ended up doing in skirmish mode anyway.

I loved FEAR 2, but I loved FEAR 1 for a very different reason than most people: It was fun

I never really got into the whole "OH MAH GAWDZ!! SCARY LITTLE GIRL!" crap. Hell, I got annoyed at Alma to the point that I wish she would just stop talking to me (I will admit that her killing Holiday in Extraction Point was fun, but that isn't even canon anymore).
I got into the "Holy crap, that is a lot of bullets" angle. And FEAR 2 delivers. Hell, by shifting Alma to a walking corpse, she even at least stopped being annoying (I still basically waved to her every time I saw her, but whatever). Then there is the moment of "ewww..." at the end of the game. And, the ultimate "holy crap" in the last few seconds of the game (which feels like the punchline to a really bad romantic comedy).

I spent more than a few months of my life trying to get it working in XP. No matter what I tried, it failed. Eventually I went with VirtualPC, and it worked, but not well.

Then I upgraded to Vista. Worked perfectly, and has worked perfectly on six systems I tested it on. Nothing more complex than just installing the game.

So if you haven't actually tested it on Vista (assuming that it won't work), give it a shot.

Cleaning Agent 说:

Well I steamrolled through the last part, running straight through Pripyat and into the NPP itself.

Squeezed 3 endings out of the game, none of which were particularly satisfying, and now I'm wondering what to do.

I don't suppose anyone could recommend any great mods or something... I'm reluctant to start a new game, because it feels like you only have real freedom up until Pripyat, at which point all the great weapons and artifacts you get serve only to push towards the end.

Look into *** with the (integrated) Arsenal mod. Crapload of new guns from the start, MUCH improved difficulty (the Russian Army's assault on the Rookie Camp is a thing of terror), and makes the entire game feel a lot more fun. I lose all interest in the plot beyond getting to the Bar, since there is so much room for exploration and "hunting" trips.

Back on topic, anyone actually play the beta?

It seems fun, but the voiceovers seem a bit ****. I love killstealing with the lictor.

It's weird. In one of the earliest trailers, the Ork voiceovers seemed pretty good, but I looked at the latest one featuring the campaign (I think that was the one) in which it presents an Ork boss on a giant death contraption, with a hilariously bad voice. It could be that they wanted each boss to have a different voice, so they decided to give that particular boss that voice, except it was from some ******* who can't even come close.

Kind of a shame, they should have had Gorgutz again.

I know he escaped in Dark Crusade, I haven't played the Soulstorm campaign though so I am not sure if he's still alive.

Gorgutz is dead. Read Blood and Thunder (recent 40k comic. Available in a Trade Paperback format at a store near you)

Last I read, it works along these principles:

You need to connect to the internet every X days (I think it is roughly a month or two). Same deal with when you activate a product (der). Any other time, if Steam sees you have no internet connection (but has connected within the past X days), it gives you the option to run offline.
Note: If I recall correctly, it can tell the difference between no internet, and just blocking the Steam servers.

It is okay. When it isn't being finicky, it is worth the price. But more often than not, it suffers from overly-sensitive "physics".

For those who ever played Oblivion: Imagine trying to line all your books up on a shelf (no mods). Yeah, that is the same way CC handles physics.

Grabbed this late Friday night. Definitely a fan of most of the Stardock/Reboot enhancements (no Starforce is a big plus, and the lack of SR1 is counteracted by me having the box nearby anyway :p).

Question that has been bothering me for the longest time: Is there a reason to NOT take a Pirarte's bribe and then blast him anyway?

To answer my own question: It is the driver AND the catalyst suite.

Is that the full Catalyst Software Suite thing, or just the driver?

Oy.

A Beta and a Release Candidate aren't really the same thing. A beta (in modern times) is a demo. It may or may not have everything enabled, and is mostly just there for debugging and what not. No matter how the beta performs, there will be tweaks and recompiling before the Release Candidate.

A Release Candidate is potentially the final version. It is a candidate for public release that is being tested for errors. That is not to say that all RCs become the final version (this is RC2 for example), just that it may become the final version.

While ATI/AMD's lack of foresight amuses me, this is indeed a new driver. Well, a Release Candidate for a new driver. If no major bugs are found in the next week or two, this will be the public release. Otherwise, a new RC comes out, and another week or two of testing is done.

Okay, let's just clarify a few things:

Nobody should really be saying that anyone did anything bad. Armagan didn't break it, and ATI didn't actively break it.

As anyone who has ever worked on a coding project larger than the standard High School/University ones can tell you, it is REALLY easy to bugger things up. One fix (maybe to enhance performance for MEPC, or even to fix a previous error) can have massive repercussions for other components (the shaders used by certain games for example).

Nobody is the bad guy. The burden of responsibility to fix this is technically on ATI. However, as has been stated (over and over and over...), people think Armagan needs to fix this. Does he need to? Knowing ATI, probably (if only for the purposes of sales). But is it his responsibility to fix this problem? Nope.

Think of it like this: You have some very noisy neighbors. And while it was somewhat entertaining the first few nights, it is getting really hard to sleep (damn newlyweds...). By all means, they should quiet down. And they probably will eventually. But that doesn't mean you can't invest in some earplugs. It isn't quite the same, but I think that metaphor should work.

RatH 说:

Gundato, do you even read what I write? I'm asking because you are still on the same page and still blabbering about people "whining" and "shifting the burden of responsibility". It's been more than 5 months since the 8.4 drivers came out, which should have been more than enough time for the developers to notice the problem and fix it, or post a warning that the official game was going to have problems with ATI cards. Still, I'm not angry at Armağan or any of the other developers as I think I have got my pay's worth from the earlier versions when I could play on my other rig (although I can't say the same for newer buyers). I'm also sure that the team will provide a fix soon enough thanks to the people mentioning this problem (which you call "whining"). However, I'm starting to get annoyed by your posts in which you refer to these people as "whiners".

I'm not going to reply to you anymore as it isn't doing anything for being productive.

I am only referring to the whiners as whiners :p. I have no problem, with bringing this to Armagan's and ATI/AMD's attention. Just don't complain that Armagan hasn't fixed it yet.

As for a warning: The problem is that, if you put out an official warning (especially at launch), those things have a tendency to stick around and affect sales. If it is an unfixable error, go for it. But if it is just a temporary problem, to do so would be unnecessary. Take a look at any tech support forum on an official gaming site. There are plenty of people who are still "warning" others about bugs that were fixed years ago.

As for responsibility: Again, look at the changelog for any driver update. Do you honesty believe that the developers for those games should fix every single error on there (then un-"fix" it a few months later when it is fixed by the driver devs)? And yet again, if the problem is really about how shaders and what not are being handled, any "fix" could potentially be detrimental to nVidia users (whether it be lower visual quality, or outright conflicts with THEIR drivers).

How so? They both involve unfairly shifting the burden of responsibility.

So technically, exactly what did AMD/ATI do to screw this one game up?  You keep blaming them but do you know what they did?  Is it some kind of conspiracy?  I bought this game based on reviews and nowhere in the reviews I read did it say that the game only works with Nvidia graphics cards or that I would be buying a beta version of the software.  I blame myself for not downloading the demo first and I blame myself for blindly trying to help out an indie developer.

All in all this is still an incredible game but they need to ban you from the forums because your nasty attitude is just turning people off to the whole project.

They buggered up their drivers. I don't know the specifics (something to do with how they handle shaders, most likely), but it happens. It isn't a "conspiracy", it is just how stuff works. Seriously, am I the only person who reads changelogs when updating drivers?

M&B was working great. Then 8.4 came out, and people started to have problems. Guess what? A lot of other games had problems too.
There is a reason we keep getting new drivers. Every driver update fixes two things, and buggers up ten more. It just so happens that (usually) said ten things are problems along the lines of "May cause crashes if the European version of Baldur's Gate's resolution is forcibly set to 1280*3*16 with forced anti-aliasing and the user has a cow sticker on the side of their tower."

Seriously, if people feel the need to complain (rather than assume it will be fixed, when it is fixed), complain to AMD/ATI. This is not Armagan's fault, or his responsibility. Be thankful he is working on it. And do you know why it is taking so long? Probably because he assumed AMD/ATI would have fixed it by now. Plus, any tweak to fix it for AMD/ATI users could adversely affect nVidia users (which just isn't fair to them).

It sucks, I know. My 1900 burned out a month or two back, so now I have a 4850 (that ended well...) and am forced to use DX7. Do you know what I did? I sent ATI/AMD a few emails, and I am waiting. If I really get the itch, I'll pop it into DX7 mode. Plain and simple. But whining that it isn't fixed yet is something else entirely. Honestly, up until Twini, this thread has been somewhat fun, in a macabre "We are buggered" kind of way. There is nothing wrong with being annoyed, but don't shift the burden of responsibility unfairly.

How so? They both involve unfairly shifting the burden of responsibility.

Except that the game is fully playable (even on said ATI cards, in DX7).

This would be like demanding that a restaurant never make a single peanut dish just because a lot of people have allergies to the nuts. Yeah, it sucks that some people won't be able to eat every dish (or even enter, if they are REALLY allergic), but is that really the responsibility of the restaurant?

Be thankful Armagan is actually trying to solve the problem. It isn't his fault. If you are angry, whine to ATI.

Twini 说:

Why does it seem like this problem is ignored?
Must do good for business if 25-33% of potential customers see the game doesnt work on their computers.
I've been waiting since catalyst 8.5, maybe 3-4 months? , for this thing to get fixed. I'm not going to roll back my display drivers for 1 game.

1. Apparently Armagan IS working on it. You would know if you had actually checked a few threads before whining.
2. The very fact that Armagan is working on it says wonders about community support. He is essentially going to modify his product to fix ATI's screw-up. Do you know how often drivers bugger up games? I doubt it, since you made that post, so check the changelogs in said driver updates. The standard approach is to let ATI or nVidia fix it, because it is their fault anyway. Apparently this also affected Mass Effect (I haven't noticed that error, but whatever). Do you think Bioware is working on a patch to fix it?

So be thankful, rather than whine. I have the problem and don't even have the option to rollback past those drivers. You don't see me crying because Armagan isn't posting nightly builds for a patch to fix someone else's screw-up.

Then assuming you actually DID buy it (and have access to one of the old email addresses) go here (probably) http://store3.esellerate.net/store/support/

Failing that, looks like you are going to buy it again. This time, write down the key and don't delete the email.

Check your email for the key. This is why I use GMail. I don't have to delete stuff.

I remember the time when idiots didn't come here, spam the board up, then ***** and moan that we aren't helping when we don't answer within a few hours.

Look, there may or may not be a way, but your best bet is to just start a new char.
