Daz : "I didn't like supreme commander because in order to control the insane army sizes you have to zoom out to a point where all the units become little icons on the map. "
Wtf ? That was the beast feature/gui find of SupCom. How else do you want it - ant sized dots ? 

Sure it worked great! But I wanted to see death robots blasting the shit out of each other, not icons slowly moving across a map and disappearing :)

Just my personal preference. 

Zoom back in when the masses of icons meet ? :D 

Ahh I remember an epic shield and nuke SupCom match, soooo pretty, such destruction (don't fucking shibe) 

It's in Open Beta now for NA, next few days Euro will also have access.

Anyone like the 3rd Stalker, Call of Pripyat?
I've been trying to play it but it just won't work, constantly crashes and won't load saved games. I'm amazed that a company could put out a game that just doesn't run, I thought they would have learnt from the first two games. 

I have 190+ hours on Call of Pripyat and the game works flawlessly. It is by far the most stable and bug-free Stalker game. 

Try this, it works as advertised for me.

though all stalker games are fairly buggy in my experience. 

yeah i tried cop complete. seemed to crash constantly with that as well, shame because 'complete' made the game look much better as well - it looked pretty sweet. 

CoP complete is shit. NEVER install it under any circumstances. 

The moddb rating doesn't lie and they are usually rather nice with mods. Complete is total garbage and will make your game crash, corrupt your saves and introduce horrendous bugs everywhere. It also uses completely outdated versions of third-party mods like AtmosFear or Absolute Nature that are plagued with issues, issues that have been fixed with subsequent versions. You can make your game look really really good without having to download Complete, and thank god for that.

The base game should work by default, however. There is no reason why it shouldn't, and the game is perfectly fine vanilla compared to Shadow of Chernobyl and especially Clear Sky. Call of Pripyat is a very stable game compared to the other two and I never had any issues with it. The only times the game crashed or behaved in a weird way were always because of various mods that are usually less stable (but still a lot more than Complete for some weird reason :rolleyes:).

If you get a crash there is usually an error window called BugTrap saying X-Ray Engine 1.6 has crashed. If you see that, an error log will be copied to the clipboard automatically, so open notepad and paste its contents. This will usually tell you what's wrong. 

hmmm maybe I'll reinstall it. it did crash before I installed complete, but I did manage to play for a good half hour then put complete on and can't really get 10 minutes out of it. perhaps complete is still causing issues even though it's uninstalled. Yep the x-ray engine 1.6 is the error I get, although the forums seem to be littered with users getting the same error. there's a lot.

one user said it works fine on xp but on win7/8 the issues start.

but anyway, i'm on l4d2 now so i'll get back to COP it in a week or 2. 

I just remembered that there is a microsoft update that messes up DX10/11 games including Call of Pripyat. Do you have MS Update KB2670838 by any chance? If yes you could try uninstalling it and try again if it changes anything.

Will this be the game that gets 40K FPS right?? Skacky isn't that your studio??

Epic have got rid of Gears Of Wank thank fuck. Maybe they can concentrate on making great games with their great engines like they used to, instead of pure shite. 

I got scroll bars into Func, go me! 

Keep the console bullshit out of this thread!!!


...oh wait, that's what you said when you renamed this thread from being about all games to being about PC only games. 

Why did Epic Games agree to this acquisition?
For (slightly more) creative freedom? 

Yeah the death of of epic games some years ago was a shame, when they started doing console only games. maybe if they create a new ip it'll force them to have to support pcs as well. if it weren't for pcs they'd never exist.

i guess it means gears stays xbox only though with microshit. 

I used to work there, yes. There wasn't plans for a WH40k FPS yet when I left though. I'm curious to see how will this turn out.
