  1. http://blog.theinspecters.com/british-man-...woman/#more-259 Has anyone heard about this guy over there? Is he really popular or well known? How is he holding a city council position... saw this online and was loling but got to wondering if any of our brothers across the pond have heard of him.
  2. Awesome man! A fresh OS install along with a fresh Steam installation should eliminate all problems, so def let us know how it turns out, good luck!
  3. Gardner, navigate to: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\youraccount\day of defeat source\dod\scripts and look for "weapon_ifm_steadycam" in the directory mentioned. Rename weapon_ifm_steadycam (just put some Xs at the end or something) and let us know if the game still hangs and disconnects. I looked up your issue and what I found was that weapon_ifm_steadycam could be an old file from the DODS beta and some servers may block it believing its some kind of bad script... no I idea if it will work or not but figured it wouldn't hurt to try.
  4. Johnson, has your issue been resolved? Or do you need more help in getting a solution? Please let us know if we can close/complete your ticket.
  5. Manning should have been found guilty of all charges and thrown in the brig for the rest of his miserable fucking life. That Colonel Lind bitch was too soft. Maybe she doesn't understand what her job is. Just another example of the Mothers of America running the show folks. Once again tarnishing and weakening the US Military and their integrity. What ever happened to putting little girls like this up against a wall and giving a firing squad the go ahead?
  6. hey man I'll be around all day on Friday, so if you want to do it then we can both hop on vent and I can walk you through doing it over vent Just hit me up on steam chat, I'll be sure to leave my mobile app logged in on my phone so you can reach me!
  7. +1 However make sure you are changing the channel it is operating on, not the frequency. As the frequency is what determines G, or N bands. http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wifihom...wifichannel.htm That link is a somewhat detailed how-to about changing your channel for your routers broadcasting
  8. You should try changing the channel / frequency your router is operating on. click this link to see how to log into your router That's assuming you have the router BELL FibreOP gave you. There should be an option to change the channel your router is operating on. You can take screen shots and post them if you need to so we can help walk you though them. Also check this link from BELL FibreOP's website: here that will provide additional trouble shooting tips for interference you may be encountering.
  9. I would agree with McDowell, your issue does have some hallmarks of bad or failing hardware. What construction is your moms bf's desk made of? If it's one of those cheaper ones with a lot of metal, it could easily be a culprit. What I would have you try are as follows: Have you already tried power cycling your router and modem? You would do this by unplugging both from the power outlets, leaving them unplugged for a few minutes, then reconnecting them. Another possible fix is changing the channel on which your wireless network is operating on. you would do this by logging into your router and adjusting the channel it is broadcasting on. We can assist you with this better if you post the make and model of your router. Neighbors around you may have started setting up wireless networks, and when they are on the same channel they can cause interference. If you have an android phone you can download wifi analyzer and it will give you a graphic display of other networks operating around you and how close, etc. This method has actually worked great for me when my wireless router was acting up for no reason. Upon investigation of the wireless networks around me I determined they're probably all on the same channel as mine. After changing the channel on which my router operated my connectivity issues were alleviated. Hope this helps! Good hunting!

  11. The pacific and Generation Kill are both amazing. Jarhead is utter and complete... read the book. One of the most amazing and truthful novels i have ever read.
  12. Holy shit.... so many feels. I was in a ton of RBs and IDs... I played a lot on Merrils Marauders and Over The Hill... I only remember a few names... My cousin was in the 5th SS I believe at one point. Anyone remember a Clericuzio? He started quite a few units. There was also some kid named Lara (SoccerLara I think was his AIM/forum name..) Man those were the good old days. Sucks there aren't really any decent servers around that arent frigging gun game or dod_orange maps.
  13. Hey brother, check out my posts in this thread Most importantly, keep the case off the side of your computer, and make sure your GPU's fan is working. Run heavyload on your machine and let us know if everything comes out OK. From the sounds of everything I think you're hitting the nail on the head. It's most likely a bad GPU. Let us know how the machine performs with the card you buy from best buy. Just be aware, their return policy changed recently and only gives you 15 days to make a return. Regardless, at least run heavyload and make sure the unit doesn't crash or come up with errors. Good luck!
  14. Awesome, thanks for the extra info, Lopez! Yes, please run heavyload when you get the chance. Hate to be a negative nancy but I'm almost positive it's a hardware issue... is your sound card dedicated or built into/onto the motherboard? At the least you may have a bad GPU. I ask about the audio being built into the mobo because I'm also starting to fear your motherboard could the problem after what you've noted. Running heavyload will hopefully narrow things down. Another option is to spend some cash on even a crappy graphics card (like 60 bucks) from a local retailer, install it, and run the games to see if the issues still persist. Or if you have an older GPU laying around you can use that. ***just make sure you understand their return policy so you can get your money back either way*** (for example best buy has a 15 day return policy, but they will give you your money back even if you've opened it, used it, and just didn't like it. However other retailers may differ, so make sure you ask or read the receipt) Good hunting!
  15. Also, be aware of any bulging capacitors, as these too are a smoking gun of already bad and failing hardware components.
  16. Lopez, a couple of dumb questions; when you say the game is cashing, is just the game crashing, bringing you back to Windows? Or is the whole computer shutting off/power cycling after the crash? What other games, specifically, are you able to play & for how long are you playing them without the computer or game crashing? It could just be some software/DoDs issue or it could be something more serious like a failing GPU or part, that when stressed to a certain degree, is causing a crash . 1) Please download heavyload and run it on your system. http://www.jam-software.com/heavyload/ This tool is a hardware stress test that will stress out your machine, more importantly it will stress out your CPU and GPU. Let us know if there are any errors or if the program or your computer crashes while running it. 2) Open up your case, and turn it on, inspect the unit to make sure all fans are operating properly, especially the one on your graphics card, if you have one. 3) With the computer turned off, and unplugged from all components/peripherals/power source, inspect your motherboard for any blown/leaking capacitors. this is also a how to for looking for bulging/leaking capacitors: Some of this may sound dumb, since it's most likely a software issue, as only one of your games is crashing but I only recommend things I have seen work for similar problems before in the past. I've had machines where one game is crashing consistently, and other things work fine... come to find out a graphics card needs to be replaced or that a motherboard is shot with bad capacitors. But please run the stress test and check into the things I mentioned. At the very least it will let the others rule out bad hardware for sure. Just figured I'd jump in and give my two cents since it's still pending and figured it couldn't hurt. GOOD LUCK!
  17. If you're looking to actively protect your PC I'd recommend actually buying an antivirus solution, as opposed to anything offered for free online. Free online tools such as malware bytes are great for cleaning out an infected machine but not so great for proactive protection. I'd recommend Kaspersky antivirus if you consider yourself a more advanced user, otherwise Webroot is another great option. I use webroot on my own unit simply because it operates more in the background where as Kaspersky will ask you what you want it to do constantly. It's also a lot easier to turn webroot "off" when you want to play a game. It also provides very adequate protection online to prevent fishing, block harmful sites, etc. Best rule of thumb about antivirus programs when it comes to free vs pay is this, subscription based service is always better. Big companies like Webroot, Kaspersky, etc they have paying customers which gives them the massive amounts of funds they need to stay better on top of emerging threats. Kaspersky for example is a great example because it's definitions are updating constantly. I'd strongly recommend staying away from letting your PCs security hinge on any pre-installed/free microsoft utility. I find AVG to be about just as useless. Just this geek's two cents
  18. There's something really wrong with these poll results. If you don't like letting one fly on your woman's face, you aint a man. And you're wrong.
  19. because the other guy is obviously a liar. Gosh, didn't you even listen
  20. that was fucking amazing. There's always that one angry black Marine in charge of legal sep Marines that tweaks the fuck out here and there one of my favs.

  22. Absolutely excellent. I've been fucking with my in game settings for over a month trying to crank out as much FPS as possible. The average was about 60FPS (I play on a i3 toshiba laptop ) and my lerp was a constant 100ms (which my dumbass thought was a good thing) DL'd the autoconfig, followed the steps. I'm cranking out average of 100-120FPS with 0.5ms lerp. Out fucking standing. So fucking happy about this. It's amazing how much better i'm playing. Kudos to all involved.
