Patches dont do a lot, tbh, but avoid 1.02 like teh plague! 1.01 helped a bit, but 1.02 screwed up more than it fixed.
9800GTX 1Gb..had a few problems at first (see here!) I thought my card was burgered...but it turns out was a BIOS problem on the card..A quick flash with the latest firmware from Gigabyte sorted it with no problemo!
As for special deal...not really a special, but performance/price will take a LOT of beating on this card..I got mine from Dabs..(linky)
Problem is, they are out of stock again...they sell them as quick as they get them, so get in quick!
You will need a LOT of savegames from other people to complete it, because there are loads of missions (both story and free roam) that need the internet.
Come on guys, its down to under £10.00 in Morrisons...gotta be worth a tenner!..Even if there are still a few (lots!) bugs to be ironed out.
My main gripes:
Stuff removed from game to increase framerates in patch 1.02
RSC10 errors in 1.02 if you use clip-capture.
Bloddy Haxx0rs online with "godmode" cheatz.
Bloody Haxx0rs online with SMG's that fire rockets.
Bloody Haxx0rs online spawning loads of cars to crash teh server
[edit] @ Toki...PM sent by mistake...meant to send it to Obsolum..sorry! Got totally fscked up, but you can both have it anyway [/edit]
Or even better advice - NEITHER OF THEM!...hunt around for a better deal with another company. Remember the golden rule, in business, there is no such thing as a free lunch!
You might be getting a "free" console, but you will be paying for it twice over by the time your contract is up. Example..my contract: 300 mins x-network, 500 texts, unlimited evening and weekend interweb access, decent phone (HTC Touch), FREE calls to Mrs B and Emmy (unlimited, anytime!) because I have their phones on the same contract..(Mrs B also £10 p/m and Emmy @ £20, cos she needed unlimited texts and 800 minutes - being a teenager!)....my own contract/deal is all for £15.00 per month. It should have only been £10, but I opted for the interweb option.
In short, I am paying £50 p/m for THREE phones with more than enough extras so that I never have to pay any extra call charges.
This is very well documented on the R* site and the main GTA Forums..
The ONLY thing that causes this is...
Using a crack
Way to bypass it...fresh LEGITIMATE install, run updates, then grab the OFFICIAL no-dvd loader from the GTA forum site.
It must be bad if the publishers/securom actually release an 'official' crack...talk about admitting that you fscked up!
I hear this is being released on PC this week...was apparently a BIG hit on the consoles...anybody getting it for PC or have it on console can give me their views please?
I might grab a demo version and "reload" it...if you know what I mean
Its about 90 minutes on the plane, approx 15 hours by road (I know, I've done it!), F**k knows how long the train takes because I dont use trains..ever! And it might take you a few weeks to cycle it, or months to walk it.
Dont forget...the well known Vista feature (read: BUG!!!) that makes copying big stuff to an external/different HD slow as buggery.
I have a pretty fast system running Vista x64 SP1, and my major problem is that when I am copying LARGE files from my C: Drive to my D: drive - or one of the externals...(all running USB2.0, and I got 6GB RAM...so it shouldn't be THAT slow!)..it takes YEARS!! Jeez...sometimes I think it would be quicker just to download the damn things straight to the externals!
Just to clarify, when I boot the SAME system to XP x64, it copies nice and rapid...so I KNOW its a Vista bug! Hurry up Windoze 7!!!
Not photoshopped...there are LOADS of sites around that let you create spoof signs like that...including overhead gantry signs etc...were a few on here some time back
A small bit of constructive criticism (if you dont mind )..but checking for typos is just as important as the 'look' of the page...prospective customers WILL be put off by simple spelling mistakes, as it implies a lack of thoroughness and dedication...and more importantly, if it is a school project, it WILL cost you marks!!
(from the 'ordering' page: I didnt look further than that, but hopefully that is the only one )
"Myst" is always worth a try...has a very dedicated following...
"Another World" 'could' be categorized as an adventure game, although more action based, but still fun.."Fahrenheit" was good apart from the fight sequences...got a bit confusing..
You _CAN_ use the red/cyan glasses that come with 3D movies and stuff, but TBH, I tried LFS in 3D..and it sux.
Tracks and other cars are OK-ish...but the cockpit is out of focus and hurts the eyes.
Try it by all means, but dont blame me One game that I HAVE heard good reports about in 3D is GTA4...yet to try it because I cant be bothered to reload the 3D drivers
(as a footnote, I had better add that I have to wear glasses to see the screen anyway, and find it awkward using red/cyan plastic glasses over my normal ones...might try getting some coloured film to stick over my lenses...see if that does any good )
Havent even bothered to read it, but definitely fake...NO serving police officer would DARE to comment on a ticket that he issued on a public forum...in ANY circumstance.
