I really liked BFV, especially the air battles - the migs were sweet to fly. Also the choppers were good - who can argue flying a Chinook wasn't great! The problem is that when you go back to an older graphics engine the nostalgia quickly wears off. BFV also had the annoying feature that you...

I've only had the 'modified content' error once - that was when I reloaded BF2 and got the EF install order mixed up a little. I never have the EA loader running unless I want to download something. It's really annouing though as the loader itself needs updating frequently and it takes a...

you can back up the files to CD - I did this with Euro Force - they're buried somewhere in the EA downloader directory. Once installed the EA downloader is not needed - there is an online check whether you have bought the game but it is based upon your BF2 nickname and is checked upon login...

I agree that the sound creates the atmosphere that scares you. I'm playing FEAR (after buying it in a recent on-line sale) and it does create a bit of a edgy feeling - however imagine playing it with the Benny Hill theme tume playing in the background and it suddenly feels absurd. Not too...

Does anyone else have significant perfromance drops when running on 64-player maps? I have a FPS rate of between 55-99 when on 32 player maps but this drops to 30-40 when playing on 64... :confused: Can't really understand why the drop - its not like all the players are lined up in front...

Well I think that now the precedent has been set then the temptation for other publishers to follow will be great... Lets be honest - how much does developing EF or AF actually cost Dice? Three maps and a few re-skinned models and some bandwidth for content download. A few guys a couple of...

I agree with most of the above - the servers playing the SF and EF maps are few and far between, I also find that the maps are not as good as the original BF2 maps - especially EF - the two desert maps are totally dominated by air power. I found that the BF2 standard maps were much more...

You have to be very particular about how you load the patches. I had to recently re-install BF2 / SF then EF. It goes something like this: BF then SF(which patches to 1.1) then the 1.2 full patch, then the 1.21 incremental then EF and then finally the 1.22 incremental patch. Phew! Any...

Does anyone notice an improvement / reduction in perfromance when running HT in games? 3D Mark shows anything up to a 25% increase in CPU score when running HT but I was wondering if anyone has any real instances where it makes a difference?

The whole thought behind the original thread was not would you throw out your PC in favour of a console... rather next time you need to spend some serious cash upgrading would you buy a console for gaming and keep the PC for old games/ useful pc stuff or just upgrade the PC in order to play...

Hmmm... all valid points. For me the big descision will come next year when I will probably go for a HDTV set up. At that time I might be able to save some cash by having a console for watching HD films etc. But then again theres nothing better than ripping into a brown cardboard box with...

I have been a PC gamer for many years but… having bought a new PC last year and just recently upgraded the graphics card, memory and PSU, it got me thinking whether the money spent constantly on upgrading the kit was worthwhile and good value… The old arguments about PC vs Console was that a...

SOFII was a great game and ran fine on my first personally built PC - 1700XP with a Geforce3TI and 256MB Ram.

Have you tried deleting the shader cache? I delete this every time I change the graphic settings - when loading a level the game shows a message after a change of video settings saying that the shaders are being re-optimised but I always find that unless they are deleted they can cause...

I have installed Coolbits and tried some modest overclocking of my 7900GT but the clocks are reset on boot every time. I have checked the option to set the clocks on startup but it does not appear to work. :confused: Is there any thing that I need running in startup to set the clocks? Thanks

Hi, Last year I bought a PC through work - a Dell 5001, BTX Intel 550 with an audigy 2 ZS with a set of 5.1 speakers. I have two issues if anyone can help... 1. Recently when playing audio through the speakers every 1-2 minutes the playback stops for 1-2 seconds before resuming. It...

HI, I bought an OcUK 7900GT last week - the manufacturer is Galaxy. I have added coolbits to allow the card to be overclocked. I noticed that the clock shows only 660 MHz instead of 1320MHz - is it me reading the display incorrectly ie:should I double that figure to get the clock for...
