    [PC/PS3/XB360] DiRT 3 - Official thread

    Tried that m8 - still no luck. :( The launcher hangs on a black screen and when I go to Task Manager, it's set to something s**t like 1024x768. I'll have a look on the internet for other suggestions, but thanks anyway. :) D.

    :( Can you copy and paste you change to the xml file? D.

    Gareth - did it work for you? I just get a black screen - even after making that change..... D.

    [PC/Xbox360/PS3] Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Official Thread

    I've found the MG36 to be the medic's weapon of choice. Brilliant for laying down many accurate bursts at all distances. I still can't choose between Magnum ammo or the MMG perk for it though. Each seem to be as good as the other, I found. D.

    A messy afternoon - CV boot clip failure. And the clean-up afterwards...

    Well, the offside-front CV boot has spat it's grease out again, as mentioned in the following thread.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?583803-CV-boot-clip-failed....-again! Today was aimed at not only fixing it, but also cleaning up the mess it created. :dapprove: On initial...

    Is it that bad m8? D.

    I'm far too old for this but I just couldn't resist when I saw it in a shop...

    Hats off to the devs on this one - seriously. They managed to reverse engineer a classic game and formula to run on a 64-bit OS and in 1920x1200 resolution. The installer makes it painless - download the main app (circa 4.5MB) and off it goes to download all the relevant files needed. Once...

    Royston - I'm a massive fan of SP campaigns in games like these. In fact, they are the ONLY reason why I buy the next COD installment as their campaigns are really enjoyable. The one on BC2 (while fun) is clearly an after-thought. Online is where it's at. It's massively more cerebral than COD...

    It is m8. :) Just select the version you want to download - there is a Mac OSX version there. D.

    Given the excellent suggestion by Kerry-W yesterday for the open source version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.... http://www.openttd.org/en/ I thought it would be useful to create a thread that included any other worthy suggestions. Please DO NOT post links to torrent sites for illegal...

    MGS HD Collection

    Even the original demo on the PS1 got on my tits. Definitely one to avoid for me! :) D.

    Transport Tycoon Deluxe = awesome! Became a staple game on the PC back in the uni days. Even people who hated computer games loved that.... D.

    Network tone generators?

    Cheers Jamie - that's the kind of pricing I was thinking of really - ignoring the cheap £20 units etc. You think you got yours from RS Components then? I'll have a look on their website and see if I can order one. Thanks again. :) D.

    Network tone generators?

    Chaps, Any recommendations for network tone generators over structured cabling? Want to get a pretty decent one, but not a diamond-encrusted all-singing/all-dancing one. Seen a couple on Maplins website, but th reviews have been pretty bad for them. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    [PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

    Sure do! I know I keep going on about 2142 - but DICE got SO many things right and evenly balanced with that game. The squad beacon being a perfect example. Yes, it allowed you to respawn wherever the squad leader dropped it. But to allow that in the first place, he had to use one of his...

    WASaD Players showing the way! :) Would love to see the return of the 6-man squads as in BF2142 - but I suspect that that would get abused with the 'respawn on squad member' ability. Especially in the defence role. Really, really intrigued to see if they've addressed the slightly weird assault...

    New ATI graphics card.. help please

    Is the card getting hot? Seems a little strange why it would just hang. In the graphics tab at the top of the ATi CCC, there should be an Overdrive option in the GPU section (iirc). Even if you don't use it, it should show you how hot that card is getting. Have you tried enabling EDID on both...

    CV boot clip failed.... again!

    I'll post up a pic when I redo mine! It's a simple job to sort out - just a little messy more than anything. The first 'clue' I've had on both occassions that the clip has gone is a slight vibration through the steering wheel - not really at town speeds - but definitely on the motorway. It...

    CV boot clip failed.... again!

    For the third time in its life, the off-side front CV boot has let go its grease. Is it more common for this side to fail, or not? Hmmmm. I wonder...... Poll added! D.

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    You've only gone and bloody jinxed my car! :rasp: Gave it a wash before work this morning, to find that the inner rim of the alloy looked like your first greased-baked picture of Post #208! Got two clips spare and some CV grease on the shelf. Looks like a nice messy job to sort out.... again! D.

    That one that's head to head? I love that one! I've done alright on it so far. :) I'll definitely take the time out to set the wheel up then - even if its only to get past this bloody gymkhana crap! ;) D.

    Macshield infection?

    The sister-in-laws iMac seems to be infected with Macshield malware b****cks. As per usual with this kind of crap - the obvious answer is to pay for the 'fix' in order to remove the pages to gay p**n that randomly pop-up (duh - ok) - other than that, it seems quite a recent infection...

    Lol - just came 5th after my first attempt when I came 4th. Rage quit. ;) I think the best bet I'll have is in setting up the G25. Up until now, the 360 controller has been good enough - but its diabolical in the gymkhana imo. The cars are far too powerful for the responses mustered up by the...

    Please make it stop...... :( The gymkhana bits are really beginning to piss me off. Some people might like them - personally I just think they are boring as hell and I can't move on to Season 2 until I gain 3rd or higher place? WTF. There should be the option to skip it completely - even taking...

    Haters gone hate (182 rr)

    That alone is one hefty climb - approx 19% increase over standard, iirc? I'd be well chuffed if my car managed those figures with the work you've had done. Just a shame RS Tuning is so far out of your way - their RR takes no prisoners! ;) D.

    Whats going on with waw...

    Now that's down to people using hackorz files etc. Imagine how frustrating it is when the game you used to know and love (I'm talking about Team Fortress 2 here) has been officially ruined by updates and add-ons by Valve? I tried one game of Capture the Flag yesterday and got told off for...
