    Well, it seems a sizeable machine upgrade has resolved all of my crashing issues in this game and it's now pretty much rock solid. I'm still enjoying it FWIW, more so with a decent squad.

    I bought the game via Origin two days ago. I'd say I'm enjoying it when in-game, but I am getting frequent, maddening CTD's. :(

    Your TV probably doesn't support 5.1 passthrough over the HDMI connection from external sources. As Howard says, connect an optical connection from your Xbox directly to the amp and change the audio settings to optical. Et voila.

    Good news for me today - I was 99% sure I had a sports hernia but the doc. says no! I have a groin strain and the lump I found 'in the crease' is actually an enlarged lymph node. Phew, no surgery for me! A few weeks of taking it easier should see me right.

    Sweet bejesus. Two weeks into my new lifting routine and I'm 99% sure I have a sports hernia. I can feel discomfort when I brace for deadlifting, and I had quite bad groin pain after football last week. Will check in with GP to be sure. Anyone else had one? Did you have surgery? What was the...

    The problem with running is that people equate running further as being 'better', with the obvious end result of overuse injuries.

    Thanks mrthingyx. Just to clarify - what would my Day 1 look like? Day 2 I understand as something like squat/bench/military press? Won't my tri's be fried? Would it make sense to move a press to Day 1?

    *** The 2017 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Hello, I'm looking for a bit of advice on 'getting back into it'. I used to post in this thread a few years ago when I was doing Stronglifts with a friend. Since then, I moved on to triathlon for the best part of 5 years (sprints all the way up to and including ironman) This last year saw me...

    I'm going to try to replace windows 10.

    The repeated GUI changes and software updates have seen me move away from Win10 as my desktop OS of choice. I now dual boot with Mint on my main desktop with Windows kept just for the odd gaming session. Mint has been pretty much perfect out of the box with only minimal bits required for me to...

    Still freezing cold down here. Can't wait for some slightly warmer weather to give my new beast a decent clean!

    So mine went in for it's 3rd oil service today, which means diff. oil, air filter, spark plugs etc. Not cheap! Also, my brakes are at 12%, so they'll need replacing soon too. And then I had to fill up, another £75. I also got them to do a full diagnostic check/dump. There's been a few battery...

    I concur :cool: Yesterday I found the button that adjusts the side bolsters, is this a standard feature of the seats in the M3, or is it part of an option?

    Well, I'm a massive two weeks into my E92 M3 ownership and I'm still smiling every time I drive the car. Can't believe I waited this long to buy one! The only slight negative, as others have mentioned, is that anything other than 'normal' for the EDC is just too hard and crashy for the roads...

    I paid the same price as it has miles. The competition pack cars attract a premium which some might say isn't really deserved over a non-comp. HK is a nice and rare option! :) Best of luck and of course we need pics ;) Gah! Don't say that :p pics! :cool:

    There's a pic just a few pages back, but it's a 2012 E92 with competition pack, metallic mineral white with bamboo(?) leather. 28k miles. It's a glorious machine! :cool:

    Picked up the M3 today. Had an epic drive home! :D As I mentioned earlier, the headlights had some condensation, which appears to be quite common. As it turned out, the lights were completely shot, failed the MOT, and had to be replaced for brand new ones! Result! The hinged door bin on the...

    My friend has one of these - in exactly the same colour combination. It is an epic car! Enjoy!

    Thanks dudes. I think the white is the mineral metallic, looks lovely. Might change my mind when it's filthy and covered in tar spots! Not sure what colour the leather is though - it's not the darker brown (cocoa?) nor the very light beige colour - it appears to be 'one in the middle'. Does...
