I let it autodetect, I tried telling it what to do. Still nothing. Then I rebooted. It worked fine.
Sometimes I hate technology.
Thanks guys.

Do you mean 'towsetup'? If so, I have run that, and that is where I opted for the single processor setting.

OK, I am assuming it's something on my end. I am up to date on drivers and more than exceed the system reqs. I d/l'd the demo and installed it no problems. I try to run the .exe and get nothing. No splash screen, no error messages...nada.
XP Home
Intel Core2 E6400
Dx9.0
GeForce 7950GT @ 512MB
*edit* I ran the setup, switched over to run as single processor, no changes.

Ideas?

Well it's late, going to try to d/l and get ina mission or 2 before I must sleep.

Yes, post here when you find something.

I'm as big a fan of coop as anyone. Nothing like teaming up with a friend (or stranger!) or group of people to dominate the AI.
I dare say I prefer coop to playing 2v2 vs humans. At least historically speaking, at least 1 of the humans will be a juvenile idiot.

Agreed. As long as you don't carry a balance from month to month, and are smart enough to find a card with no yearly fee, you don't pay any more with a card than you do with cash.Originally posted by franz:how do you figure credit cards to be "rip off" ?
Only if you are dumb enough not to pay off at the end of the end of each month are they "rip off".
As a matter of fact, I've got a card now with no yearly fee that gets me 5% off of gas purchases with a certain gas company. With gas prices this high, I figure I'm actually making money by having this credit card. Just pay off the balance every month and save 5% on my gasoline bill. No catch.

Well if today is the 10th, and the release date is the 19th, we have at most 9 more days to wait til downloads open.
-
True, true! Moon, didn't you promise us more screenies and goodies while we're waiting for D-day?
-
If you don't want the DVD or manual, I assume you can do with it as you wish.

H-street, it's been stated that if you fail to deactivate a copy, you should be able to just send an email to Battlefront and they will deactivate it from their end.
-
That's from Matt, so it certainly appears that you will not be able to "type stuff and send it" during a game.but once your actually playing a battle, there is, sadly, no chat functionality. -
I respectfully disagree. A team that can organize and plan it's assault (or defense) stands a very good chance of winning.Originally posted by Elmar Bijlsma:And secondly, when things kick off you either type or you win, not both.
Conversely, the lack of in-game chat tends to level the playing field, so to speak.
I say this lack of chat is going to favor the team that just sends their forces, en masse, into the enemy. While the strategic thinking teams are spreading their front, deploying reserves, etc, the clicker will just drag-select a huge group of troops and click "attack" somewhere. The other team, being unable to communicate, will not be able to coordinate a flanking maneuver, etc.
-
Sure you will.Originally posted by franz:remember this game is much shorter than Combat Mission. Are you really going to have time to type out messages to each other in a real-time, 30 minute firefight ?
I dont think so.
"go left, I go right"
"Sherman in overwatch"
"get arty on the trenchline"
Short messages, or some way to communicate in a MP game is pretty essential, I'd say...at least if you want to have some sort of battle plan.

I'd use Vent or TS if one of you has a server.

Are you serious? We were told from the start that preorders would be opened up "earlier than the regular orders". Where in there do you read it would be "weeks" earlier? :confused: As if that wasn't enough, we were also told the demo would be released "around the same time as the full game opened up".Originally posted by FaxisAxis:What's the point in preordering when you're only going to get it a few days before the release?
Again, where in there is the confusing part? :confused:
If you're regretting your preorder, based on some photos and an admittedly silly intro movie, then maybe you need to contact them about cancelling your order. Then you can wind up paying $55 for the stuff you already had for $45. I'm sure they wouldn't mind taking an extra $10 from you. Better yet, just send me $10.
-
Depends on your job, RCMP. Most of us had off friday, for the Holiday. Some branches of work also give Monday, as well.
-
I remember some of the old games (read: 7-8 years ago) that forced you to watch the intro movie every time you loaded up. No amount of 'esc' or any other key presses would let you bypass it.
Those were dark times, my friends.
-
Don't know, but I'd be interested in finding out, as well. I've used both TeamSpeak and Ventrillo in the past; be nice to be able to converse with your team during MP matches. I'm not holding out much hope for built in chat, as there is no real multiplayer "lobby", I'm not sure how they would integrate chat into the game....
-
Hear hear! Here's hoping you and I can hook up for a match or 3. Maybe I'll even let you win one, you old coot!Originally posted by Gface:iplay,
I can relate to your post, and that is why I asked the question initially...I have played the games you mentioned and playing with "kids" or "uber" players just isn't any fun...there is no thought or immersion in the games...they just want to kill you and get on to the next "victim"...why not just play a shooting gallery game...I like the age mix in here...and I like most of the reasons people play...Hopefully, you're right, and some of us Old Timers will hit it off and we'll have some good MP experiences...

You guys realize the official release date is April 19, right? That's still 13 days away. Moon stated long ago that preorders would be opened up "before the official release date". He even went on to elaborate that preorders would likely be "a few days" before official release.
I want this game as bad as anyone, and have placed my order like many of you. But to condemn BF or any other company (and threaten to be 'less likely to preorder or buy in the future') when you're not even giving them a chance to act on their promises is just ludicrous.

29 here, be 30 this summer. Been gaming for about 20 years now, back to the Intellivision and Commodore 64 days! Big fan of WW2 games, own all of the CM games plus the DiF game. Tried a bunch of others but I guess I just like the realism and the fact that smart tactics gets rewards in these games.
Not a big fan of playing with young kids, at least not in any of the games I've tried. CoH, CoD, and all other WW2 games I've tried online have been against 'uber' people, as they call themselves, and I just can't stand it. My hands don't work as fast as they used to, and I can't do well in a clickfest RTS like CoH.
Perhaps playing with some of you old timers will rekindle my faith in playing MP games!

seasider, I doubt they're losing a "huge customer/fanbase" by not accepting paypal.
And MajorPrivate, not everyone is able to get a visa or mastercard. It's no skin off of your back, so why do you need to be so ****ty about it? Your comment about getting a credit card signed "The rest of teh modern world" seems pretty sarcastic, wouldn't you agree?
