Did you put the 1.01 patch on yet? oh & mine still hasnt arrived from yet. :sad:

It's retro gaming time again... Hot on the heals of re-installing Far Cry, I've found my old Quake3:Arena CD and have re-installed that too. Me & Benny used to love playing a bit of Q3:A back in the old days.

I just started playing the SP again to get a feel for it. Took some screenshots too. I totally forgot how good this game looks. Screenshots: http://www.tugteam.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=3&userid=172

Was wondering if it might be nice to try & throw up a Far Cry server to see if we can do some co-op in it over the Xmas period. I always loved FC & didnt realise they actually patched it up to 1.4 recently. So who's interested in some old school fun?

Just in case your wondering if your PC can run Rainbow Six:Vegas Check out this system test here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest Select 'Tom Clancys Rainbow Six:Vegas PC from the drop down. My email/internet PC will run it fine apparantly. (Athlon XP 3000+ / 1GIG Ram & nVidia 6600GT 128MB GFX) My gaming rig will also run it pretty well too. (Athlon64 3500+ / 1GIG Ram & nVidia 6600GT 128MB GFX)

Hey fella Glad to see you came to say hello - check your PM for the TS server details.

I have now paid for this event. Booked the early arrival service, so going on the Thursday 5th.

It now appears that GRIN are involved with GRAW2 after all. However, it's not been officially announced by UBISOFT or any GRIN members yet. An information pack was found on UBISOFTS FTP with details about GR:AW2 release. GR.net thread: http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=40811&hl=

A couple of thoughts. 1. Where do you install GR:AW to on your system? Default install path or on some other partition of your harddrive? 2. Once GR:AW is installed, are you then just installing the v1.35 patch? v1.35 is a cumulative patch. i.e it contains all the content from previous patches & should be able to install directly onto a vanilla install of GR:AW. Make sure you select "CD/DVD Version" in the installer as the Downloaded version is slightly different. 3. Have you any software installed blocking registry entries or blocking the installer? If you run regedt32, you should do a search for ghost recon & be able to find registry entires pointing the installed location of the game & current version. 4. The most important of all - do you have enough disk space available on your HD in the windows/temp folder. The patch requires about a gig of temp disk space to uncompress & do its install thing. If you dont have enough free space, then it may bork! Failing the above, I'd be happy to remote access your PC via VNC or remote desktop & take a look if you want?

Mucho crazy fun.... http://www.vkmag.com/media/boratsoundboard/

Very funny... http://www.totallycrap.com/videos/videos_dog_humping_a_cat/

mmmm.... I'll believe it's on PC when I have the DVD in my hands!! What's interesting is the part about it being developed by the award winning teams that created the original - Ubisoft Paris & Red Storm - which is bullshit, cos both those studios created the console versions, not the PC version. Absolutely no mention of GRIN who did the PC version or which of the 2 'Award Winning' teams are creating the PC version. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!

Thats sussex - New Brunswick - in Canada - not the UK, dave.

JJ - thanks for making me laugh outloud when I read this....

lol & yes they have tweaked some of the maps.... Hollow for instance is now purple tinged for me!

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say it might be your system overheating if its random. GR:AW tends to use 100% cpu usage when running & will put a strain on the CPU & your GFX card temperature wise, if there's not enough cooling or power from your PSU, then it could be the system getting too hot & causing the seemingly random crashes. Might be worth sticking a monitoring prog like MBM and logging things like temp on CPU & GFX card when idle & then when running GR:AW. Alternatively, I could be wrong & you might have little gremlins running around inside your PC.

I have updated our server to v1.35 this evening. Please let me know if you have any issues. Enjoy.

Our public server will be updated shortly (once it's downloaded)....

Yep, thats right sleepy heads....

I'm looking at the following: (in no particular order) Armed Assault (Due next year in UK - probably Feb) Crysis (Due after Feb next year - probably April) Enemy Territory:Quake Wars (Due after Feb next year - Probably April) ...oh & any expansion packs for GR:AW

That means you'll be coming along then....
