GAH!!! GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFFFF!!
*tears off the parrot and shoos the eyepatch* -
I've been running it on Win7 RTM on 2 machines. Be careful though cause if you have a 9800GTX+ you might have to run it in Windowed mode (stupid BFG not patching the BIOS on the card like eVGA and Gigabyte did so we could update drivers).
Either way though it does work well. -

Well, considering its still going on, and The Cape is still got live DJs through the event, I think the hangover really starts tomorrow for a bunch of people.
I really only got to play yesterday, but a late night timeslot for my show, while fun, has me needing a little more coffee this mornging. -
Quote:Then with the whole trademark thing, all of a sudden you have another game pop up, on of their developers use a name you have been using for years and you get Genericed. Happened to a friend of mine just recently. I won't state names cause I'm not calling anyone out, but the whole trademark thing is a bit vague at times, especially when you hit a situation like this. Legally because of the CoH EULA, NCSoft has first right in a case like this one would think.Originally Posted by QuiJon
But there is a difference legally between using characters that clearly fall in the public domain like a shakespear character or GoldiLochs and using say Superman. If you made a super strenght character named Paul Bunyon your not violating anyones active trademark. If you made Super-Duper-Man, a Invul.SS tanker with flight, in blue tights with a red cape, boots, andbriefs, and a yellow belt, with a S on his chest, your pretty clearly violating someones trademarked character.
Now as someone said, NC Soft was already sued by Marvel. It was dismissed BECAUSE the court decided that NC Soft had appropriate systems in place to watch guard the abuse of trademarked characters. One means to that is players reporting the violations for review.
Now having had a character get genericed let me just say that i would preffer that someone tell me they think its wrong then report it. The GMs dont just look for that one character, they go over your entire account looking for violations to trademarks and taste and hit everything. And their definition of what is wrong is much wider then players. Like making a "Darth" anything character is a violation. It doesnt matter if its an attempt to make vader or not, the term Darth they see as violating trademark no matter its use.
So in that way, i could say take a bit of abuse, let that player in the game feel they made their point and avoid the petition if given the chance. -

Well, now I feel better. -
Ok, the scoop is that due to the lawsuit with intel, NVidia is halting production on the chipsets for Intel Processors.
Nothing about them stopping and GPU production at all, in fact the HPC architecture is being used in the Fermi GPU's and will continue to be worked on.

So, I've been getting ready for Windows 7 to come out, and am right now running 2 test machines with it. One my Laptop has the 9800 mobile with 512MB and it works great.
The other is my desktop, an Athalon 4200+ with 4GB of ram and a 650W power supply. The card is a BFG9800GTX+, which worked fine with XP. With 7 on the other hand, there are some major problems with the card itself (and from researching the 9800GTX+ cards overall).
The first issue arises with the fact that updated drivers tend to lock the system thanks to the card. I got around it by pulling out an older video card for loading windows 7 then installing the 9800GTX+, then booting into safe mode, uninstalling and cleaning the newer drivers and loading the 177.16 Vista 64 driver from last year. Bang 9800GTX+ and windows 7 works. Well, except for full screen mode in CoH. I get a weird set of lines like a refresh issue only when on screens that have interaction (login, char/server selection/actual zones) but splash screen look fine. Windowed mode works perfectly fine.
The funny thing is that I don't have that issue on my laptop. I"m gonna try to compare some things between the two, but I do notice that my laptop will automatically turn of Windows 7 Aero and go into a basic mode for the desktop settings when CoH is running, while my desktop won't.
I'm going to keep testing things, but I would be wary of the 9800GTX+ from BFG. It seems that evga and a couple of other manufacturers out there have an updated BIOS that allows for newer drivers to work with the card, but BFG just says to use old drivers, so I can't tell you if it is a driver issue or not. -
Is it Wed yet?
