    [PC] Diablo 3

    Nope. Well, we got nowhere near that by the end anyway. I think we finished the game at around lvl 26 each. Never even came across one of the set pieces of equipment - which are coloured green, from what I believe? In fact, we only got a few orange ones, tbh. D.

    [PC] Diablo 3

    One of the few games that my girlfriend would actually play - lol. We completed it in co-op just on Normal difficulty, but have actually thought about restarting it with different character classes on a harder difficulty. A good game - definitely suits the console platform in co-op too. D.

    Win7 & ALC898 popping/crackling

    Tbf, I'd pretty much have attempted the reformat as one of the first fixes :) I did have this on my old Soundblaster X-Fi card running on the PCI bus. I changed the PCI latency which helped a lot, but the problem went away completely when I switched to the onboard Realtek card. My newer...

    Battlefield 4

    Iirc, on the deploy screen, there's an option for Team Setup. In there you can join or create a squad. D.

    Battlefield 4

    Anyone has the moonwalking tank yet? On a slight slope - and sometimes even a flat surface - the tank will slide in one direction. Weird when it happens - often enough where you have to compensate on long range shots. D.

    Battlefield 4

    I still can't get my head around the tank vs tank hit boxes. Last night I had a small round (literally just three a side) on the map with the large dish. With so few players, it ended up being a vehicle on vehicle round and I was doing really well (too well in fact at times) with the Chinese...

    Battlefield 4

    Funny you should mention that. I had another quick dabble on the Test Range last night and while in air with any of the choppers, the surface of the island itself was a solid, one tone beach colour - no texture at all. I had to come into a very low hover, before I started seeing surface textures...

    Battlefield 4

    I tried that, but it didn't work for me. However, increasing some graphics options to Ultra did? Lol. D.

    Battlefield 4

    Lol - what have they broke now? I installed the latest nVidia ones last night, enabled SLi and set the Quadro to dedicated Physx. Seems ok...... so far. D.

    Getting very close now..... :cool: http://store.steampowered.com/app/240760/ D.

    Battlefield 4

    ^^^ - short of having absolutely no other alternative option - I would never game online via wireless. It's just pure horse. D.

    Battlefield 4

    I like the idea of having an LMG fitted to the tank, in order to sort out the infantry..... Then again, I could go for the HMG and really make them keep their heads down. Oh, wait........ Why do you fail at such obvious things, DICE?? ;) D.

    Lol - just watched that. Classic :) D.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Wouldn't a current-gen i7 be better as a CPU if you're heavily involved with non-realtime rendering, etc? Or have the recent i5's come on leaps and bounds that has negated the i7's additional abilities? Just a thought? :) D.

    Battlefield 4

    Still using the old established BF favourite of the UMP-45. A bit pants at range, but epic in the mid-to-short distances. Unlocked the heavy barrel the other night. I actually applaud DICE for making you choose between gun additions, dependant on how you prefer them to behave. The heavy barrel...

    X-Com: Enemy Within

    Sorry m8 - the majority of spare time I've had has been with the love/hate relationship that I have with BF4 :) It's definitely on my list to retry and tbh, they've got so many things right with the latest incarnation of XCOM - that there's no way they won't develop it more. I've even...

    Battlefield 4

    I'm not too sure on that though. Who really picked the engineer or anti-tank role in the original BF1942 or BF2? We know that those classes have always been useful - in fact the engineer class was my de-facto choice on BF2142. But the vast majority of players tend to go for the assault and...

    Newbie alert! NW member

    Welcome! Without trying to sound like a gobshite(!) - do you actually mean a Mk1 or a Mk2, Phase 1? Something that looks a Clio 16v/Williams or more like a 172? Good to see another NW member on here anyway :) D.

    Battlefield 4

    Nudging Level 30 now - I think the below are my main BF4 pros and cons Pros Vast majority of the maps are well designed and enjoyable, perhaps with the exception of Flood Control. Graphics are good - certainly given the scale of units/buildings on-screen at anyone time. Destructible scenery is...

    Tyre blow out on dyno.

    Could have been a whole lot worse if the fastenings didn't do their job! D.

    Fallout 4.

    Hoax or not - there's no way they will pass up on the opportunity to make Fallout 4. Just in the same way they won't ignore doing a follow-up to Skyrim. Two very large cash-cows there, just waiting to be tapped. D.

    A bit of UE4 "tech stuff"

    I smell a hint of something, something resembling that thing...... you know..... BULLSHIT! ;) We all might as well jack-in our boxes of Uber-Win if you turn from the PC to become a professional thumb-twiddler. D.

    Battlefield 4

    The game is simply too big and complex for its own good. Funny on how the older, simpler BF's never had as many issues as this. BF3 set a new standard in feck-ups (one of the main reason's why I jacked it in) - but they don't appear to have learnt much with the release of BF4. Can EA/DICE plan...

    How to boostgaming PC performance?

    I run an Extreme Edition first-gen i7. Personally I suggest that if you're going down the complete overhaul route, that a decent i5 would be far better suited. D.

    Battlefield 4

    Seen a rough 50/50 split on the PC between HC and Barbie modes. Pretty fortunate that I can pick and choose. I really, really, really like the lack of crosshair on HC mode - makes ADS just so important (and enjoyable) imo. D.

    Why would my boot light be disconnected?

    Possibly had a drain on the connection? By that, the previous owner found out through trail and error that a power drain was coming from the boot light connection and flattening the battery on a regular basis? Just a guess, but it could be that. Or something far more simpler? (edit - H's answer...

    Battlefield 4

    Jesus - I always turn down the standard sensitivity on FPS games - some are silly, like Scutch says - making you do a 360 spin in about half an inch of mouse travel. I watched a bloke on an opposing team who clearly had his ramped up. The tank turret swung around comically fast! There does...

    Battlefield 4

    Nice one - I'll try that. Does seem a little daft with DICE's meddling in a feature that worked fine before. I forgot I snapped a pic of that server last night. Definitely one to avoid in the future. The server name sums it up perfectly "XP Farming" ffs?? :S D.

    Battlefield 4

    Another benefit of being in vehicles with the IR sights - snipers hiding away, light up like a Christmas tree. Unless they have that stealth unlock. I don't even know how to counter yet - lol. Only got my first dog-tag last night - and that was because the dude was stood there trying to get a...
