Pacific Standard Time.

Which means for the UK players it is 07:59 (am) December 1st.

Same graphics card as me

I just loaded up the main PC to find out, and I have *exactly* the same options for you. Maybe the Aegia PhysX one only appears when you actually do have a PhysX card installed in the machine.

If you do increase the Particle options one notch higher, it does suggest having a seperate card to deal with it (seperate PPU). This is believe is the NVidia PhysX system.

There have been some tweaks done to it (i believe) so it could affect what you had seen previously. Not sure why they tweaked it, unless it was to correct some of the more esoteric ragdoll/knockbacks that cropped up occasionally (which then borked it for everyone else).

To be fair, considering that they only need to check two forums for news about the #SaveCOH movement, it *isnt* all that hard to get the news out almost as fast as it happens.

All Nvidia graphics cards (from the 8800 range and above) support PhysX... If you are talking about the *highest* PhysX setting in game, i believe that is going to be greyed out unless you do have an *actual* PhysX card installed.

If i remember correctly, the lower settings run fine even if you have an ATI card installed (not 100% sure, but to find out, i would have to kick the girlfriend off Guild Wars 2 to check).

Side note: PhysX (in general) doesn't actually require an NVidia card installed. There is actually a CPU emulation version available for developers to use when an Nvidia card is not present.

*HOWEVER* It is up to the developer to implement that Nvidia "free" version.

I have an HP Envy laptop with an ATI 5850 card, and i am able to use the "generic" graphics from ATI.

The 1st time i needed to update them, i went to the ATI driver page and ran the compatibility tool.

Once it said that I could use the generic drivers, I then just carried on downloading/installing when they did updates.

*edit* Side note: Good to see that at least *for now* it is working.

Indeed... it would explain a lot of things (Golden Girl for one )

*edit* And what are you doing up so late Shadowe? Surely you have work tomorrow...

I do...

About 1/5th of my breakfast

Laptops are going to be interesting.... some of them play nicely with the generic drivers from the card producers (ATI/NVidia), others only seem to accept the graphics drivers which are issued by the manufacturer of the laptop.

Can you tell us the make/model of the laptop? Might be able to find out what is happening with it.

*points at his own user name*

*laughs*

Yeah... right.

What makes you think I follow your politics?

Is it a laptop or a desktop?

The only one that i can *think* of that was viable, was Exteel. It wasn't actually loosing any money, it was just that the cash flow for it was very irregular (from what I have read in the past, trying to drag up statement to support statement).

Tabula Rasa *could* have possibly been saved if it had more time in the cooker (or at least the chance to swap over to F2P). Not so sure on Auto Assault being viable... it did have more flaws *overall* than TR.

Dungeon Runners... that would have probably worked if it was setup to run like diablo with Battle.net.

*shrugs*

Just my thoughts.

Because rumors start flying around and people tend to act on just rumor and not fact?

((Although to be fair, from what I can gather in the stock market, you can miss out big (or lose big) if you don't act on a rumor))

So, that means that for the UK players, it will be around 08:00 GMT December 1st 2012

Rest of Europe, work out from there.

It has always been subscription free, even the original Guild Wars is.

The Mac version is similar to how CoX is done (transgaming i believe are responsible for that, correct me if i am wrong).

*shrugs* You might not be able to trust it, but they have had success with their business model in the past, and it seems to be working now.

I thought that you were *not* allowed to wear that out in public?

I mean, assless chaps o.O

Thanks, I appreciate what you have said here. I really do. I think I am more concerned and worried about *wrong* information from getting out of the Titan Forums than anything else. I know I sound (and sometimes am) really abrasive, and that my posting style could be better, but when someone posts something that I find to be untrue, I will question it in public. If it was posted in public, it is prepared to be discussed in public in my mind. And if something is later found to be untrue, then it can make the whole movement and ML look extremely foolish.

If anything, if ML just took a few seconds to *think* about she is saying (especially in an opening statement, or an introduction of "facts", and had evidence to hand to back up a lot of them), I would be more amenable to her.

Red names follow her for updates on how the negotiations are going? That is great. It is one thing that I *am* willing to believe her on (with an extreme pinch of salt. To be honest, it is hard to pick up evidence either way without having an ear in the room).

The rest though... which i have picked up on, and pointed out in the relevant threads over on the Titan Forums, she seemed to be very defensive about her stance, and not willing to be proven wrong (or that instead a better phrasing would have been better in the initial statement).

Sure, this is her method of saving face, but surely it wouldn't take much for her to admit that she was incorrect, or that something should only be posted as "hearsay", especially if she is unable or unwilling to back it up.

Fair enough, and as i have stated, I *DO* support the *goal* of Titan Networks. Their methods, not so much.

I have been doing my bit, to spread the word about the game, among my friends and family. Unfortunately, I am not made of money, so being able to buy capes/masks to spend (especially in this tight economy, and after already going to the EU CoX player meet, where stuff was said/discussed already).

*shrugs*

Different strokes for different folks.

((Side note: And to be fair, I would find it hard to match the momentum/background of TonyV and the titan networks... especially in this environment, where he already had the backing of *many* players. One day 1, he already had a practically insurmountable advantage.. which is all his to lose. If he does screw up though, I am sure that will be the time for someone else to pick up the mantle. Starting something similar now? Splitting of effective resources)).

To be fair, it was because the publishers (Simon & Schuster Interactive) stopped trading, so that made it *ALOT* easier for them to get their rights back to self publish the game.

Which is different to what is happening here.

So i guess you never saw my posts up there questioning ML/VV about her statements?

Infact, I have questioned her sources/evidence in *each* of the threads where she has opened her mouth and said something untrue/unbelievable.

Sure, I don't do it all the time, but when something is presented as *horribly* incorrect or dubious, I tend to question it.

Unfortunately, if all that is required is dedication, that wouldn't be a problem. Preventing the spreading of misinformation should also be on the agenda.

Hell, there was a [urlhttp://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,5259.0.html]forum thread[/url] over there complaining about the inaccuracy of the Toms Hardware article. Shame that there was stuff that was being said in that thread that was incorrect and that I tried to correct. The response? Fishing for reasons that *might* be valid, and with no evidence to back it up.

If i came up and said something with *no* evidence to back me up, I would be eviscerated.

ML, you believe everything that she says, even when there is evidence against her. In fact, you still believe her when she has *no* corroborating evidence.

That is something that I would expect from a two bit operation.

At the start, to be fair, I was a ML backer (even though I hadn't heard of her at the start, I googled her up, and found out who she was). So I thought "Great, here is at least a known name supporting us".

BUT, and here is the but...

This was up until last week, where she started stating incorrect things. And unfortunately, the lack of correcting facts from her end (CoX being the 1st MMO that NCsoft have given refunds for is untrue), being evasive as to where she has gotten the information from (concerning the finances and that PS was making $800K/month profit) and some *totally* unsupportable statements (the forums being closed on September 1st) *really* doesn't make me a believer in her any more.

Yes, all 3 of those incidents have been since 18th September.

Being incorrect in details early on? Since when has *almost 3 weeks after the initial announcement* been early on?

As I have said, I *believed* that she had the developers ear, in fact I do still believe that they talk to her , BUT unfortunately due to her inaccuracies (which I have to admit, I have also seen from some posters in article comment sections), I have lost *all* faith in which she says. Does she relay everything that she says to us correctly? Or is she twisting things around to suit the SaveCOH agenda?

Because she has been incorrect in the past, makes me unsure if to believe what she now says in the future. Sure, an apology for mistakes that she has made so far would help a great deal. It wouldn't make me trust her 100%, but it would at least raise it above the 10% state that I am currently in.

Hell, half the time when we state something on the boards, we commonly get called up for citations.

ML? She gets away with it scott free.

I am not saying that you shouldn't believe what she is saying, but that it is always going to be worthwhile to take a pinch (or dozen) of salt with it (and if possible try to find out where the information is coming from).

And of course, there are always going to be the official announcements which really put the stamp of authority on it. And *THOSE* I still take with a pinch of salt. For as we all well know, freck happens (sometimes).

Read the rest of what I said. Notice the caveats that I put in. And this announcement only came through today (of at least A red name using her updates as correct information).

However, as i stated, there have been a couple of other incidents where she has been unable to back up her statements.

Hell, here is another example:

Bolded and enlarged the relevent section.

This was also incorrect, as proven by the EU Tabula Rasa website (link courtesy of webarchive):

Bolded and enlarged the relevent part.

So, she is *not* perfect, she does get things wrong.

And this is why, more than anything else, I would like (when asked) for evidence to back up her statements, especially when I *KNOW* that they are incorrect.
