    Please don't like my thread-campaign

    There are 16,000 + posts in this thread, how is someone supposed to ruin anyone else's chances by making sure that everything is liked? It feels like the job interview game. You go to 100 interviews, just to get experience doing interviews and get over the jitters. Then some jerk, usually...

    Me v the Flat Earth society

    Enjoy! That sounds like fun, except for the plane ride there. Walk around the passenger cabin every hour or so, and bring a very long, very good book.

    What Smell?

    Are you sure about that shit? You took a lot of shit, but I didn't take shit. I keep thinking, it's a shitty job, someone has to do it. Sure as shit, not me though. How much that shit go for? You know, it might not be shit, what if it's tampons n shit. ... oh, wait a sec ... I was...

    My Poor Freelancer

    Heh. Your HUD shows your ship had no serious damage, until your HUD is blanked out by the explosion. This is kind of longer than I wanted but I think it unravels your mystery . I had troubles sleeping so I watched the video again, and went through it almost frame by frame. I think, that...

    My Poor Freelancer

    Wow? That was neither, rubber banding or being too close to Port Olisar. Im pretty sure I've been even closer. Except that your freelancer demonstrated a little of the quantum mastic tape at the beginning of the ascent, everything looked normal until you blew up. It looks like you hit...

    3.0 Darkness in general

    I don't think that's a lighting problem. I think people aren't sure of the perspective here. You can expect good to poor illumination by a 1500 watt flood light here on earth, for about 180 feet (say, 60 meters), beyond that it becomes like like lighting a match in your back yard very...

    Idiot testing Lesson 1

    At 2501 meters, I think he was too far away to hit someone on the pads. Don't even think at that distance, someone looking right at him might not have even been able to see he was firing. Some things like that are weird in SC.

    3.0 Darkness in general

    I just want to point out, if you hit something on your way down in darkness, you are making far too shallow an approach. It's a common mistake, one that I've made on occasion too. It means you're thinking two-dimensionally, in a 3 dimensional game. You want your approach to a facility...

    so... same problem... i can't download 3.0

    That is actually something, if you are using the wrong launcher, it will not download. You might get this exact symptom since the PTU is disabled.

    3.0 Darkness in general

    I don't think there is much wrong with the lighting model in SC, other than it should be more stark on bodies without a thick atmosphere to reflect and scatter light. Space is more than just dark like we experience it on earth, outside at night. We have a thick blanket of atmosphere that can...

    so... same problem... i can't download 3.0

    3 processes in the launcher is normal. One of them controls the game, one controls your ID, and the other controls downloads I THINK. They're separate threads in the same program.

    so... same problem... i can't download 3.0

    The launcher screen you posted initially indicates that it's trying to download the files, but not getting a response from the server. It also sounds like you're having the same problem on 2 PC's. There's nothing special about the download. As long as you have the right launcher, it should be...

    Crytek is full of um, poop. (every 6 year old I ever knew loves the word poop)

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Yeah I get it. There was always the possibility that Chris Roberts made a decision about dumping Crytek without consulting his lawyers, in fact this may actually be the case. That's how this kind of thing happens far too often. I used to say "If lawyers were involved when you bought your...

    Trading: Banking

    Interesing idea. But I'm curious about the names you came up with, you aren't by chance an undercover Canadian, insead of being from Oz? These seem like very Canadian names for banks. TIB = Got me here a moment, but Maybe RBC. RBC is the largest bank in Canada, and one of the wealthiest...

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    The law, well contract law at least, is so tedious because it is very very concise language, meant to convey the conditions of the contract so that there can be no misinterpretation, and even over the passage of time with the inevitable change in the meaning of certain words, the intent of the...

    CIG Responds to Crytek

    Also: 8.2. of the agreement describes that if either party is insolvent or can't otherwise pay their obligations, they must inform the other in writing. And that if they are insolvent or can't otherwise pay their obligations, the contract is terminated (ii) Crytek may be in violation of this...
