I finally started getting into Fallout 2, then what happens? Vista crashes everytime I try to equip a gun, or the guns dont shoot. Feckin' brilliant.

There's only one solution.

SHOOT VISTA

Or hit it with a hammer.

Sic an attack dog on it.

Throw a grenade.

Blow it up with explosives.

Or leave it alone and unsupervised somewhere in New Reno for fifteen minutes.

Huh. Finished all 3 fallout games on this vista machine, periodically the screen goes black, but no crashes over and above fallouts norm

(it was never particularly stable)

Everything updated?

Indeed it has been. I'm going to try it on the different compatibility settings, see how much that changes, although past experience doesnt inspore hope

If i remember correctly, there were some unofficial patches for Fallout 1&2 that might help. Mine had it, and was running pretty fine for a while. Forgot where i got it, though

Isn't that a 3rd person shooter?

Perhaps it was meant as irony.

The PS2 upscaler got fixed with today's update, so back into Persona 3! School trip woot!

Bit of a change of heart with assassins creed.

So long as you play within the games limitations, its actually alright, it picks up a lot, all my complaints are still valid but the general atmosphere and the fun of the platforming make up for it.

I started playing AC also. As long as you don't rush it, and try to play it like they want you to, its pretty fun. Also, this is the closest game I've played that makes you feel like Batman.

I bought Unreal Tournament III

Then got it home and found out that the included CD Key was invalid so that the game was completely unplayable.

So I went back and got a replacement!

Then I got it home and found out that the replacement CD Key was also invalid, so the game is still completely unplayable.

Now I'm soon to go to the game shop for the third time in three days, and I intend to headbuppercut people until someone gives me a working copy and then some. I expect compensation for waste of time and travelling expenses.

Otherwise I will single out just one employee, and cause them more pain than they could ever possibly imagine.

On the plus side, (forgive the double post, but it's a completely different subject and I forgot to mention it) I played through the entire of Portal on friday night. Went to a friend's house and commandered his 360.

Never before have I loved a single-player game so much. Crazy computer lady is the single greatest creation in the history of everything, and the song at the end gives me goose-pimples.

Anyone else reckon we'll be seeing some 'portal gun lady' goodness in Half-Life 2: Episode 3?

But what if it's not their fault? Wouldn't that just encourage them to do shit like that on purpose?

Check online to see if this is a common problem, and if people have found a way to troubleshoot it. 2/2 being invalid seems like a bit of a coincidence.

ShineDog · Post by **ShineDog** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 1:30 pm

2/2 suggests a bad batch.

I'd double check that the 0s aren't Os or something. (The zeros aren't Os)

ShineDog · Post by **ShineDog** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 6:11 pm

Or even 5's and S's

I've seen that being difficult before

FLASHPOINT!

It turns out that my port blocker program was blocking steam. So with that sorted out, I'm currently downloading orange box. At the current download rate, I'll be playing it around Friday morning >_<. Stupid crappy EA ps3 version rassin frassin... Eh, my laptop should be able to run it way better anyways.
