21:00 server didn´t crash on us, but we didn´t play for long afttervtaht. I also had to do some kitchen cleaning

just to rule out the obvious: your graphics card is Open GL >1.5 newest drivers are installled

Congratulations Jung! Enjoy! (the sleep deprivation) @Poesel: ein bißchen früher wenn ich bitten darf

I´ll be there. I hope all relevant timezones aree now on winter time or whaterever you call it where you live . Junglist, can we congratulate on the production of a new space cadet yet?

should have read the forum... found nobody for 15 min at the usual time. Oh well, had some fun playing Bioshock.

CU then in 20 min

did the US also change to winter time today?

I played outdoors once (near Wr. Neustadt airfield btw). The standard CO2 rifles are very imprecise so don´t waste your ammo on trying to hit somebody >30m away (the paint balls won´t open anyway at that distance unless you they hit a hard surface). I think the most important fun factor is the people you play against/with. have fun!

The same side is enough, according to Clay. The coordinating is the trick (as we demonstrated this sunday ). My point was more that it´s better to give bots ions than conventional arms than bots are better than humans. re: yesterday´s games. very nice, maybe one should play treachery 3 vs 1 defender since it is really quite easy to defend, though 152&Ithai, you would have been more edffective if you had used your EMP and artillery strikes (hint hint )

thats what i meant.

I know nufink about macs, but cool. my new PC rig: core2 duo 8500 (2x 3,17 Ghz) asus P5Q MB (intel P45 chipset) 4gigs Kingstin DDR2-800 CL4 radeon 4870 1 gig version 1 terabyte drive LG Flatron L227WT 22 inch TFT Monitor logitech G5 gaming mouse winXp on one drive, vista64 on another

You need trhe thors in the end since they are the only units that can survive HEAT. On a good day any of us experienced players can take out a whole army of apollos in minutes. if you keep the thors at distance (just give them a move order) it forces the defenders to leave the base. Also even the most experienced bot wrangler has a hard time keeping the bots from pointing their backsides at the enemy, so you stand a good chance of depleting the defender even if many of your rounds get stopped by the ion tower. Ions controlled by bots work fine, especially in large groups i.e all 4 ion thors. The weakness of the bots is their maneuvering, not their aim. When positioning is essential I sometimes drive to the intended position and lock the brakes. bots can´t unlock breaks

heh, I somehow missed that we won after all in house to house. in recon in force, your main mistake (from my point of view) was that you never cut off my reinforcements with a bacchus. also you let your precious 120mm thors trundle towards my base under bot control, should have let them fire at range. the ion attack was good, but it would have been better to leave that to the bots.

very nice games gentlemen! even had 5 players at one time DropTeam will never die!

i´ll be on DP at the usual time.

5) disagree. Apple simply makes much better products than it used to. I don´t think there are many consumers that really choose between the 2 systems. 4) true, also XP (after SP2) doesn´t have major stability problems (win 98) or security issues (win2000) 3) disagree, a new windows release always kills last year´s system. try running win95 on a 386 2) a ha 1) IMHO they should have gone 64bit 100% instead of trying to please all customers wth a bewildering variety of OSs and driving software developers nuts by forcing them to write software for 32bit& 64 bit vista and xp

after hooking up the fan I played for about an hour on DP without crashing. the drivers are new.

sorry ,but i had a few tech difficulties, i think the mainb. was overheating, because i forgot to hook up a fan

OK, DT installed, now back with even more FPS and WIIIIIIIDE screen cya in 30mins

cool, i´ve just finished building a brand new system, and am frantically updating DT. i´ll post again in 1 hour (our usual time) if the update is finished. shouldn´t be a problem though

anybody going to be online today at the usual time?

Sing a song of shock force harddrive full of updates patch without jarheads on our patience grates

re: harddrive failures: google published their experience with HDs a few months ago. The bottom line (IIRC): harddrives fail at the beginning of their lifetime or very late. ambient conditions (heat) and frequency of use are totally irrelevant. I would use RAID1 with at least 3 drives and backup on an external HD (USB, firewire or external SATA) forget tapes

just a note to junglist: we greatly enjoyed your country (i'm posting from Victoria on Vancouver Island) , now for a week of USA, i'll be back online in 2 weeks
