I'll take the damn car then. And trade her my BLUE 97 Oldsmobile.

Freaking b**ch cake.

Xfiles themed X.

9/10 because I used to watch X Files

Bump because this topic was almost lost past the 3rd page mark.

An update to redline servers also..

They, from current knowlage, are not changing to patch X.

Quote from H@rry :

- Have you tried the latest test patch?
- Have you tried a single player game?
- Have you tried to create your own server on your LAN and then connect?
- Do you have problems with other online games?
- Is your network card OK.
- You have the latest drivers for network card etc.?

And did you report this incident before? If you dont provide more details ther is no way this problem is gonna get solved. Saying that it doesnt work and not giving info so the devs can even get a clue of what is going on, is a hopeless situation.

- Have you tried a single player game? No..
- Have you tried to create your own server on your LAN and then connect?..nope..
- Do you have problems with other online games?..nope!
- Is your network card OK.yes it is
- You have the latest drivers for network card etc.? yup!

First time this has happened. I'll try it again with patch X though.

EDIT:Alright. in W48 it works fine. Must be something with W or the servers I goto..

How about, taking a step back, take a breath count to ten and start providing some more details? With this information i can in NO way get a clue of what could possibly be wrong.

Basicly in the regular (stable) patch W (not a test patch) it does that error for every server I connect to.

wait..friday is tomorrow??....Hope i remember to return my copy of Forza 2 since i rented it

Seriously though I'd love to come..if it wern't for this coding error in Patch W that now prevents me from connecting to ANY servers at all!

Quote from ATHome :

Maybe every server you try to connect to uses an incompatible patch ?

....

They are ALL patch W. PATCH W IS THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWS UP ON PATCH W...

Man forget it.

I'll just sell my account or something..

Yeah I just started getting this BS in patch W.

Can anyone help me at all? it happens for every damn server.

Quote from glyphon :

hmm...haven't noticed that problem. very well could be the cd-saver things causing read errors.

Most likely because they said "It helps protect agienst copying the CD's info."
Guess it blocks the game itself too!

Im not sure if its from the rental place's thing they do to CDs ("CD Saver" thing which goes over the disc to protect from scratches) but I have found that Forza 2 locks up alot in the mainmenu a few times. Maybe its from my xbox getting a little hot but its not really overheating...I have it set up with a few PC fans outside of it circulating the air.

Quote from Slopi :

Well, if history shows, it's stuff like that, with the defects, that will sell for a lot more than the 'regular' items on eBay 20 years from now... assuming eBay exists then

And with that, this should be my 100th post. Yay me.... Gawd I've been slacking lol...

Edit: Damn, 101... my bad

Ironicly yes..

And im willing to bet somewhere theres a Dale Jr. clock with a Jeff Gordon voice set..

lol.

Quote from Slopi :

Made In America

The ironic part is after showing that to a few other forums..i had 3 emails from people asking me if they could buy it.

Yeah..I got this Jeff Gordon electronic clock for Christmas (even though im not much into nascar) so I put some batteries in it and the box says "its cheers for jeff gordon and has sound FX of him winning"...

Well...it says something else..lol.

Dale Jr. fans would be proud.

Nice with the fix.

Will be alot more enjoyable in LFS now

Quote from Niels Heusinkveld :

Hi readers,

I'm assisting a Romanian student who is doing a research project on small cable companies (i.e. TV / Internet / phone type providers). Part of the research is a study of the European situation.

Finland it seems, has quite a few smallish providers. We have a list of possible companies, but now we need a Finnish (speaking) guy or girl who is willing to spend a few hours gathering just basic information about a few of these companies. Things like:
- amount of customers
- amount of employees
- type of products offered
- involvement in local activities

We anticipate that in 5 hours it should be possible to find these superficial details for 3 or 4 companies. We can pay what we get paid, about 10 euro per hour.

Are you Finnish, somewhat aware of the cable company market and good with google, not afraid of perhaps making a phonecall or two? And can you use 50 euro?

Send me a PM!
/Niels

Well I actually looked up on it and figured out some numbers.

- amount of customers:Average is about 100-200 weekly possibly more (google translator doesn't help much.)
- amount of employees:Acording to google about 200-250 in one of the places.
- type of products offered:Basic cable accessories, video players.
- involvement in local activitiesDidn't look into this enough yet)

Thats what I found at a glance looking on google.

Quote from glyphon :

don't forget the $130 for the wheel.


yup. pgr4 looks like it will be a very cool arcade racer...dynamic weather conditions, and that dynamic weather will affect the traction available on the road surface. but pgr4 doesn't even have a slated release date (that i've seen). i'd expect late this year, to early next year.

Pfft! Who needs racing wheels when I have my Neo Advanced $25 controller? lol.

I rented it yesterday...

F**KING KICKASS!!!

The customizing is awesome and its very realistic to say the least.

Online multiplayer is sweet too because you can bring your car from carrear to race other people.

The tuning is kinda like LFS though so its easy to do.

Its hard to get the best upgrades and stay in a certain class though! (cuz if you go over 400 in D class it goes to C class and you cannot race D class races with em).

Overall I need $110 atm..$60 for the game and $50 for 1 year of Xbox Live.

Lets see...GTR2 or LFS....


Forza Motorsport 2!



It has great physics and has all the car damage I could ever want!

Yeah its out instore ATM for $60 on 360...

Im gonna try to rent it today.

Quote from Btoryo :

Theres this guy crashing servers, username evilpimp. He just crashed [LTC] Live to Cruise, WWD Drift, Carribbean Cruise by CLC 1. Hes on a streak He also crashed the TS server. Anyone know whats happening? He also made me reconnect without me leaving the server? How is that possible? He crashed 3 servers 1 after another. Weird how same thing happens in 3 different servers. He is Undercuver h4x

EDIT: Added picture.

And guess what? I lost my car on LTC!

Goodbye XFG. I shall miss you

Good for you.

Nascar 2007 is already out...your behind in games by about....2003. lol.


EDIT: Oh yeah..

That game is WAYYY outdated.

The graphics look...like LFS in the S1 days...heck i doubt LFS looked THAT bad.

Heh I was right.

It will get to W40 before Patch X..or W40 will be patch X.....hmmmm

Quote from MAGGOT :

Oh yea, I know damage is important for some. I was just adding that only traffic is damaged.

I know but I crave total carnage looool.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Only traffic gets damaged, none of the 'player cars.'

Well some people,like me, wanna see their car and the other car they crashed into damage a little.


I'll wait for NFS Pro Street then because it looks promising in the damage catagory.

Quote from Rappa Z :

In a typical game when you hit a car, niether car gets damage. In TDU, you still don't get damage, but other cars do.

I have been playing for a week on my new computer. On a 22 inch LCD with max graphix and no lag or sturring it is a crap load of fun.

No dude, In a typical game when 2 cars collide they COLLIDE and get extreme damage.

But since I know how bad TDU's damage engine is, I won't bother to pick it up.
