oh, almost forgot:) : Ive tried a number of different drivers - incl nvidias beta 10109...

Pentium IV 2.0 2gig ram geforce 6200 Game nearly unplayable as soon as the shooting starts, considerable fps drop. Movement and position works fine up until then. Have tried to play the game on the lowest setting, 1024x768, with all graphic settings to low, no EAX - but with the same result. No such probs with games such as Medieval Total War 2, were tweaking the settings actually makes a difference...

Actually, "Captain Corelli´s Mandolin", is a great novel, not sure if it will be that good as a movie though. It´s not really that much of a love story., more about the complex situation of an occupying army and it´s relation to the local people. There are some really great caracters in the book and it´s actually a joy to read. A couple of "battlescenes" that are some of the most horryfing stuff I´ve read, for instance an assault on the "Metaxas line" etc.. . But a war movie???? Naah!!! Read the book if you´re on holiday or something, I think you´ll be pleasantly surprised. And one more thing, "WTF" is a GREAT movie!

I remember seeing "Come and see" in school, a long time ago. We were just kids and a couple of us started crying, can´t say I remember much of the movie other than it was frightenig ( I think i recall a scene where an einsatzguppe sets fire on a building with elders and children it it - a very schocking scen by any standards). Maybe it´s time to watch it again? This time I´ll remember to have the napkins at hand.

I think it´s the voodooo-card. It don´t look a bit like some of those screenshots I´ve seen.

Thanks Madmatt!!!! Finally, things are getting better. And my breakfasthabits are back to normal. Cheers

Well Mr.Clarke I second your plea.

Hi Pops I have the same problem (smoke comes up in squares?). But then again I´m using a lowly voodoo 2, luckily enough I have a quite good imagination, and can easily get carried away (like that time in the kitchen when I used the peppershaker as a divebomber to take ut the evil peas, but thats another story...) Try posting on the tech forum for more qualified help. But I think it´s a voodoo problem that can´t be patched... think I read that somewhere here some time ago.

Like it alot! Been playing it from the german side for a couplr of hours yesterday. Very fine, very fine indeed. Though it slows down my poor old sys.

Sorry ´bout that, the more the merrier )

Well the pictures are all very nice indeed. Just some minor concerns: where are the rodents (and the cows and ozelots)??? And wheres that hardware I´m so desperately gonna need ? I´m deeply impressed and can´t wait to be ruined once more just to keep paces with the everlasting hardwareracingclub (run Luke...run!!!)

I was in fact referring to the rodents. Everyone knows that it´s the RATs and not the HAMSTERs that rule all the universe. But of course they prefere to rule in secrecy so they just send the hamsters out to create a diverson until the real masters of the Cesspool arrives. And not to mention the cows and the ozelots. You guys had no idea what you where up against where you???

Well Bratch, it seems you feel the same way as I hope most of us do. I´ve been away for a couple of months and then I come back to this, I honestly don´t recognize this forum anymore. Let´s just hope things can return to "normal" again. And it would truly be a shame if potential CM customers would be scared of because of this messageboards last incidents.

Well this probably has been stated time and again but I have to say IM SHOCKED!!! Part of my daily morning ritual for the last year or so (yes I have read most posts on this forum until recently) has been to check out the posts here and either get a good laugh or a nice link or something. Anyways I have been away for a couple of months and when I finally get back to some of my normal routines I find this forum degenerated in a way I didn´t think was possible. I´m not going into details about JP:s sick pic posts etc, (but as WBW said this kind of behaviour cannot be ignored). From the beginning I have to say I was quite worried about an open forum like this one on such a potentially "dangerous" subject which ww2 trivia at the end of the day is. I just hope this place can once again return to what it was not so long ago. Otherwise I will always remember it like a sweet fairy-tale:"Once upon a time...". Sincerely, Bugger Stein
