    A fantastic album to doze off to. I do love Roger Waters' Lyrics but the sleep/dream references thoughout put me into a bit of a trance... which can be a good thing when you are an insomniac like me..!

    Radio KAOS is another Waters lyrical gem, though musically it leaves me wanting a shower....

    Four Minutes is a classic example:

    [billy:] "Four minutes and counting."

    [Jim:] "O.K."

    [billy:] "They pressed the button, Jim."

    [Jim:] "They pressed the button Billy, what button?"

    [billy:] "The big red one."

    [Jim:] "You mean THE button?"

    [billy:] "Goodbye, Jim."

    [Jim:] "Goodbye!

    Oh yes

    This ain't au revoir, it's goodbye!

    Ha! Ha!

    This is KAOS

    It's a beautiful, balmy

    Southern California summer day

    It's 80 degrees...

    I said balmy...

    I could say bomby

    Ha! Ha!

    O.K.

    I'm Jim and this is Radio KAOS

    And with only four minutes left to us

    Let's use this as wisely as possible....

    ([Molly:] Everybody got someone they call home)

    Out at Dodger Stadium

    It's the bottom of the seventh

    The Dodgers are leading three to nothing over the Giants

    And for those of you who are looking to go surfing tomorrow

    Too bad

    (Telephone rings)

    I'm kinda lost in here to tell you the truth

    O.K., good

    Ladies and gentlemen

    If the reports that we are getting are correct

    This could be it

    Billy, if you're listening to me

    Please call now."

    After a near miss on the plane

    You swear you'll never fly again

    After the first kiss when you make up

    You swear you'll never break up again

    And when you've just run a red light

    Sit shaking under the street light

    You swear to yourself you'll never drink and drive again

    Sometimes I feel like going home

    You swear you'll never let things go by again

    Sometimes I miss the rain and snow

    And you'll never toe the party line again

    And when the east wind blows

    Sometimes I feel like going home

    [Jim:] "Billy, if you are listening, please call."

    [Californian Weirdo:] "Sole has no eyes."

    [Molly:] "Goodbye little spy in the sky

    They say that cameras don't lie

    Am I happy

    Am I sad

    Am I good

    Am I bad?"

    [Jim:] "Billy, if you're listening, please call."

    [Californian Weirdo:] "Sole has no eyes

    Sole has no eyes."

    [billy:] "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

    [Margaret Thatcher:] "Our own independent nuclear deterrent

    Has helped to keep the peace."

    [billy:] "Six, five four, three..."

    [Ordinary Person:] "...you've go a job..."

    [billy:] "Two, one..."

    [Margaret Thatcher:] "For nearly forty years"

    [Jim:] "Goodbye Billy."

    While playing the Training campaign I noticed one of the OPFOR soldiers moving supposedly with his weapon in his hand. His arms and hands were in position to hold the weapon but the weapon was on the ground in his original position.

    I have also seen a couple instances of the Scarecrow glitch.

    The scarecrow thing cracks me up. I thought maybe the guys were being punished "hold your arms out!"
  3. So... if the game works on Windows XP with my ATI x200 integrated POS, and the DEMO runs on Windows 2000 with my ATI x700 (haven't tried the game yet), but crashes on Vista / ATI combination, would this logically point to a problem with the game, with ATI hardware, with ATI Vista drivers, or with Windows Vista?

    And for those that don't understand OpenGL - it is a programming interface, so that you can use the same code to speak to any number of video cards. In the old days (very old days) programmers had to write drivers for each video card - but with the introduction of standards for video interfaces (Directx and OpenGL) programmers, in theory, could write one piece of code that would work with all compatible video cards.

    If the game code works for ATI on XP & 2000, and works for nVidia on XP, 2000 & Vista, is the problem with the game code? I imagine it *may* be possible to debug the problem with ATI/vista to the extent of "we make this call to OpenGL and it crashes" but I don't know if a work around could be implemented by BFC to get around the problem in the OpenGL layer.

  4. AMD 3000+

    Radion x200 integrated card

    1GB ram

    XP

    CMSF plays ok at lowest settings but for some reason the scrolling on the glidepoint doesn't work. Not a big deal, I use the kbrd instead.

    Actually, the more I think about this, the more it makes sense - it doesn't exactly replicate the functionality of the wheel on a mouse.

    I still see brutal shift and ctrl locks, though I haven't applied 1.01a yet (still paradox 1.00)

    I still need to install on my main PC - the DEMO worked fine on it under Win 2k.

    Cheers!

    Edit - larger scenarios slow down (S_L_O_W_D_O_W_N!) in RT mode on the nb.

    As has been said before RTS is definitely the way BFC wants to go. I'm presuming it's to broaden the commercial appeal of the product.

    Except by Battlefront themselves, which somehow seems relevant.

    So try not to present speculation as fact. It's misleading and untruthful. </font>
