I have been a bit pi$$ed off with games the last couple of years, too over hyped and fail to deliver.

Worth buying then? Are we talking about the kind of thing where you forget the girlfriend and stay in doors for a few weeks?

I have the page open on amazon do I press buy now?

 

the hovercraft was cool & ravensville - creepy

just started playing Doom3 now too, makes ya jump when you have the lights off & sound up. glad to see theyve got that thumping shotgun like in D1

 

I've done the hovercraft bit and found the professor type bloke but now I'm playing CS:S which is where I'm likely to stay Well, at least until I get a better graphics car so I can enjoy the scenery in HL2 a bit more.

 

Whilst I think it is one of the best games I have played the logging in stuff is really really anoying. I am not a patient man.

 

Ah! I have just been through that with EQ2 (which is pants BTW). I will get it ordered.

 

Same as me Frosty. PC just about copes playing CS in 800x600 res until a smoke gren goes off.

CS: Source is well needed improvement. Only played a few games but got an hour in before work this morning lol.

Computer games before work! Thats like having a beer before breakfast! You're on the slippery slope mate

 

Well I wasnt in til 10am and its only a 10 min drive. So not like I was up at the crack of dawn just to get my fix

Anyone experiencing crashes with this game? Myself and a few other people I know are having loads of problems, machine reboots and all asorts. We are not running old kit either

Geezer

 

Works fine for me (no crashes at all)...

Home built P4 2.5Ghz, 1Gb ram, SB Audigy 2 Platinum ex, and a 256Mb ATI X800XT Plantinum.

Runs silky smooth at 1024x768 with all settings ramped up to maximum

 

Yeah - I got that with the new (eg about a month old) ATI drivers. Reverted to the old (from summer), got a message that they were outdated but clicked to continue anyway and no more crashes, still works fine........

 

Running fine on my machine. Only been playing an hour or so.

Its very good.

Weirdest thing though. My surname is freeman, so evertime so one in the game says "Hello Dr Freeman or Hello Mr Freeman" its like they are actually talking to me.

Makes the game (if possible) a little bit better.

 

Can't get my reg key to work- it keeps telling me its incorrect. have checked it several times and made sure the hyphens are in the right places but I'm still puzzled......

anyone else had problems

 

13 year old daughter sorted it- it was me typing a 1 instead of an I

********

 

Aha! I have put the new ones on because of that msg. Looks like a roll back or get the more reliable Omega ones.

Cheers

 

Just had my first ever go on counterstrike.


It all looked a tad confusing LOL What's the best way to get into playing, I don't just want to enter any game where everyone else has been playing for years and gets annoyed with me LOL

Any tips?

Any plans for any Snet only games?

Cheers,

Gareth

 

Strange, I'm using the latest ati drivers and they work fine for me.

 

Got mine yesterday

<<<<<Corner>>>>>

 

Took me a flippin age to work that one out aswell, I didnt have a "1" in the code so there is no way I could tell

 

Top man Jason,

Should be in most of the weekend & most evenings, you let me know a few times and i'll confirm one

Thanks,

Gareth

 

Jason,

Just had a couple of hours on BlkKnights server & think i've got the basics of the game sorted.

Will probably meet you in there at some point anyway mate.

Thanks for the offer though.

 

Whats the server details?? I've just got this game and I'll be looking for a server to play on.

 

It's on page 3 of this thread mate...

server.lanse.co.uk:27015

I'm just nipping on myself for an hour before I go out, lol it's getting addictive already

Jason, what's your username?

Gareth

 

If your having performance problems on an ATI card try the 4.10 catalysts. I had 3.10's and was running slow framerate in CS. I tried 4.11's but had problems with ATI Control Panel so stepped back to 4.10 and now works fine with about an extra 20fps so CS Source is pretty smooth now even on my 9600 pro and athlon 1400.

Simon.

 

Jason, saw you on last night again, appologies for not responing, was absorbed.

It's getting difficult keeping the kiddies off, there are soo many muppets about now it's gone "over the counter"

How are the server settings for you?

 

It's FF on
TKPunish on
Kill Friendly within 10 seconds of map start = kick
Fixed chase cam

Valve hasn't turned on VAC2 (anti-cheat widget) yet, but will hopefully do so in the comming week.

They are releasing the SDK and a "supprise" at the end of the week. I've no idea what it is - but hopefully some more maps for CS.

Hi BlkKnight,

Tried to join on to your server the other day but it looked like it was using a custom map and it wouldn't let me in. Is there anywhere I can DL the map pack from for he server?

Rich

 

ah, it was a map one of our guys was playing with. It's not finished yet. It's based on the venue where we hold out events.

You can get it from:

www.lanse.co.uk/lanse2.rar

The server is back on the standard rotation now.

 

Cheers Man,

Might well have a looksie tonight. Been playing condition zero on a Rogue server lately so it just might be time for a change.......

 

A small question for you guys, I've had a quick look for it elsewhere but couldn't see anything, so here goes.....

The results screen is too big, it obscures the chat messages at the end of the game, and all of the option windows are too big when you escape out of the game. Also the name of the player when the crosshair falls on them is huuuuge. Anyone know of any way to reduce the size of these??
