The other option like I mentioned previously is to simply run the .exe straight from the Steam folder. Seems to work fine for me that - and I've had no CTD's since doing that. :) D.

Was excellent - really enjoyed it! I just wanted to go straight back out once we'd finished! Biggest frustration I had was that I was just about getting used to not locking up the rears going into right-handers..... about 5 laps from the end! The staff were excellent too - well organised and...

Anyone else having some real issues with the interface on this? I'm having a hell of a time simply dropping equipment! I know on Oblivion, you held down shift and then clicked on the item you wanted to drop and it did it. Not so on this. It says 'R' drops stuff. It doesn't for me. The...

No. :headno: D.

Got a new works unit just around the corner and was up there yesterday. Spotted it parked on the kerb near the Mazda dealership there.... D.

Lol - loads of people have picked that - including me. I knew I should have resorted to type and kept as a brain-dead smash/kill/destroy type character. Life is much simpler that way. :) D.

Oblivion - GOTY Edition is back on Steam for £3.74.... That is a LOT of game for that price and well worth it if you missed it out first time around. Doesn't need a monsta PC to run it either. D.

I can see where you're coming from on that. My landlady from uni days is on WoW - and she's late 50s.... D.

Not quite as tacky as spinners........ but getting there. D.

Scutch - just as a test, a m8 of mine at work said the textures looked much better on the 360 version when running from the disc? He couldn't see much in the way of impact on the game loading times either? Might be worth a try? D.

^^^ - good post that, apart from the red bit :) The PC platform has a back catalogue that any console, past or present, simply cannot match. I tried (just for the hell of it) - running a fan-ported text adventure from 1979 the other week and it ran fine on my Windows 7 x64 PC. I had no need to...

Jesus - scarily accurate. I'll be 37 next month. :cool: D.

Haha! 3DMark2011 is clearly talking pap. It was just over 8,000 marks where my SLi'd GTX460s managed 6,500. Yet in Graphics Test 4 (along with others) the fps score was at least three times higher than mine - sometimes 3.5. I have a slightly better i7 CPU, but it would account for such a low...

Possibly. But it wasn't that evident from my play-through. The enemies that were a challenge in the wastelands near the start were an absolute push-over towards the end. ^^^ - that's good news on both counts. Phew! D.

Aw - please, no. It hasn't, has it?? FFS - that's the whole reason why Borderlands sucked shlong. The whole reason why I've stopped playing Dead Island too. When auto-levelling makes the enemies on par with your stats and it takes three full-speed run-overs of a standard zombie to kill it with...

Definitely on console some of them. You can tell with the 'snap-to' location on aiming. You never, ever get that on PC. That said, some of those clips were pretty damn impressive - if a little lucky with some of the shots! D.

Yep - yours should piss it. My twin GTX460's aren't stressing with it either - so it should be silky smooth on your PC. :) Yes. Follow Cookie's viewpoint on this. On my 2nd attempt on Oblivion, I just went for a thick-b*****d orc who could hit things hard and repair items well. Seemed to be a...

Lol! I tried it for about a minute to make sure it worked and haven't been back to it! I'll need to though. :) D.

You probably wouldn't because of one thing.... Right near the start with the dragon attack, I saw one of the towns-folk calmly walking around while on fire. He'd caught a fair few licks of flame from the dragon, but carried on about his business as if all was ok. I really wish I'd FRAP'd it...

Yes. Definitely. D.

Flying mammoths? What's the problem? ;) Only at Level 3 at the minute - but pmsl at shooting a giant in the nuts and then legging it. The fecker chased me for ages - despite putting 18 arrows into him. Managed to get back to town where the local Bobbies got a kicking.... .... just so I...

Passed it earlier on. Anyone's off here? D.

Any error codes or anything? I've had that twice where it simply closes down to the Steam library screen. No bitching or fatal errors or anything. It's almost like I've told the game to close itself? D.

I might do m8. But I think I'll just tell myself to not be such a tight arse and buy one from States! :) I'm thinking that the gfx card manufacturer (Gigabyte in both instances) will blame the lack of a decent SLi connector on Asus (my mobo) and vice versa. D.

Ah! Another possible contender! :) D.

Flol! Proper bargain.... :S D.

He stated he would be more accurate over range with twiddling his thumbs on some contraption. I said that mouse accuracy would prove he was clearly wrong. Oh well... D.

You're not m8 - I thought it was something obvious and straight-forward too. By default, I always enfore VSync on, but on the two games mentioned (Skyrim and Company of Heroes) - it made no difference and was unplayable as it was annoying. The YT clip below is EXACTLY what it was doing on...

Excellent Dink - that's stopped me chopping that in half and breaking it! :) I might stick to the flexi cable Rhys, but clearly it's not perfect. I'd much prefer a 90mm rigid bracket - but they seems to be like hen's teeth in the UK... :( D.

Chaps, I've had some tearing in onscreen graphics with the two GTX460's - but only in a few games. Of the ones I've played over the last fews days since getting the SLi bridge, just Skyrim and Company of Heroes of shown tearing. BF3, Shogun 2 and everything else have been fine. My gfx card...
