The Steam community forums have among the most unreadable image captchas I've ever encountered.

Under what category?

Steam is a Combine plot.

Just looked at the listing on Steam...

Devs should really consider bumping up the reported min. specs -

Processor: Intel® Pentium® III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon™ 800 MHz
Memory: 512 MB RAM

The game will really chug, but that brings up the issue of whats on the box.

Awesome.

The exposure Valve can offer via Steam is epic.

More exposure = More subs
More subs = More Paragon Studios money
More Paragon Studios money = More goodies
More goodies = More Pie

Pie FTW.

I just canned my Diamond 2600xt as it would overheat on me with the smallest amount of dust collected on the fins.

Diamond really screwed the pooch with poor cooling and personally I dont intend to ever buy another one of their products.

Check the card and make sure it is dust free.

Running the 9.1's now on my 2600XT pcie.

High water still ghosts and breaks FSAA.

Played a while, no other issues to report.

Feel free to upgrade I would say.

Only major change in the cat 9.1 is the introduction of opengl 3.0.

Carry on!

Cat 9.1 was released Jan 29, 2009, just thought I'd drop this in here so it can be disected

Been meaning to take them for a spin, gonna wipe current cats and try it now.

As far as I know, the high def audio for the ATI cards is only available for the HDMI output.

If you removed your audio card, put it back in.

If the card is still there, you may have to go into the audio control panel in your OS and make sure your default audio is still selected, ie not the ati audio.

As someone else already mentioned, any info on why the Nvidia logo has been replaced with an ATI logo other than ATI paid more money?



With that said, I like it.

Just wondering Bill, as you mentioned Ubuntu in another thread.

Have you tried the latest ATI linux drivers with Ubuntu?

The linux CCC is great, a real step forward for Ubuntu.

ATI Linux Drivers

If you are starting with a fresh install of Ubuntu, do not install the depository restricted drivers as I trashed my Kubuntu install by not removing the old fglrx and the xorg conf got screwed up.

If you give them a shot just follow the installer directions with a fresh install of Ubuntu and you should be up and runing in no time.

I wonder if the image is being compressed by the host.

The image you posted does seem "off", but can be explained if the host you used is applying a higher level of image compression than you uploaded for the sake of saving diskspace/bandwidth.

Try uploading the same screenshot to
imgflip and see if it gets any better.

If not, something needs changing in your settings.

Some of the other screens I took from the same session i posted..

Great way to make an [censored] of yourself.

I reside on freedom, My sg is on freedom.

I laugh at your mere suggestion I have nothing constructive to add.

lol, new guy

freedom and constructive dont go in tha' same sentence

[/ QUOTE ]

Grats on quoting a post.

Dont use your post count as a shield. Post less and read more.

No, I have one toon in the game that resides on Champion, and the rest are on Freedom.

Well, as it goes unlocked, people who are refreshing the server list going "open, open, open" and then immediately pile on, will push it back over the population limit.

However, we are heading out of the peak of prime time and I expect the server will be available again soon as more people are logging out for the night.

Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.

You rule LH, but sometimes I really wonder why you bother.

The type of snide responses you get would lead most people in your position to just say screw it and not inform people of what is going on...

woah, deja vu..

'Cut the reds some slack, I just got locked out of a STF but understand the major awesomeness that is Freedom. '

hell no. freedom's full of noobs taking up my server space

[/ QUOTE ]

Obviously not as full as the noobs in the forums that cant quote a post.

If all the noobs are taking up your server space you have other servers to choose from.

Dont overreact, There are still more people able to enjoy freedom now than in the past XP events.

I'm not saying Freedom does not need to be looked at in the area of more improvements or even server transfer locking, but people still need to acknowledge attempts were made to limit these interruptions with a cash investment most other MO's would not have made at this point.

C'mon people enough already..

I hope someone else other than me realizes that with the server upgrades, more people are playing on freedom that what would have been allowed if they did not upgrade the servers!

Had the server upgrade not happen, this thread would have started at 2 like other threads and be 100 pages long with the same issue, not being able to log on since then.

Freedom is the fo-shizzel Fo-sure, but even after the upgrades with Freedom able to handle many more players, we still are bringing too much bling and dragging it down.

Imagine how much sooner the lock would have been, or how much longer the wait to get in would be if not upgraded.

Cut the reds some slack, I just got locked out of a STF but understand the major awesomeness that is Freedom.

Happy birfday to me, cant think of a better way to celebrate the day I was dragged into this world cold and naked.

And yes, there's a few more places where such fields would be handy, although I'd be happier if they just put up an anti-power field around the consignment houses. Wentworth's is not the place to be running your Sonic toggles!
