Gonna start downloading this right now, it will be a good way to test my new GF4 card

Went a bit OTT and got a Gainward TI4200 GS 128Mb card

SS

edited to add..after reading the next post perhaps I didn't go so OTT after all

.......new game from nVidia..... and its free!

Don't know how it plays, but the screens look mighty fine. It supports single player and multiplayer, too.

Nice eh?

The demo weighs in at just over 200 megs.

Probably showcasing the GF4 features.

Downloading it now, I expect it to run like a dog on my GF2 GTS

i downloaded it in sections and ran the merge.bat as per the instructions. when i try and launch the exe file thats been created i get told it is not a valid w32 app. anyone else tried the game yet and how did they go on?

i dual boot w98 and 2kpro, and neither of them will let the exe start.

even with 512 its still not very fast..about 20 - 25 kps where I'd normally get about 50kps. Takes about 40 secs per meg I think..

It depends a lot on the site you are d/l from. And Cable 512 is faster than the one that uses the old phone line like mine does. All down to fibre optics and the speed of light you know.

But it still PEEES on ISDN for downloads. And 56k? HA! NEVER AGAIN!

update for ayone who's interested.

dowloaded game in ten section and the merger file no with joy.

found out there is another file required, No11. downloaded this and got the resulting exe to lauch and install.

tried to play the game, had to get directx 8.1.
the game plays but with bizzare graphics.

am now downloading dx compatible drivers for the radeon 8500,

the game looks pretty good, even better it's free.

hang on, my driver download has just finished, back soon.

btw Burr,

Massive off topic but a mutual friend fitted a d/pipe to my car which had the PPP on before and I could tell no difference in sounds AT ALL.

Maybe hope for you to get a d/pipe.
