I would watch out for the Buddha fellow too.  He seems kind of shifty.... >:(

As bad as that D-Day character? (I hear that those guys from the Philadelphia area are bad news  - just wait until Agent sees this post! :P)

Do you guys know who an Otis4F is?  He is trying to register onto the forums, but I don't recognize the name or email address.

I do not know them, either (could it be a bot?)

I'm back, sorry for the delay, I kept checking bp.net... Guild Wars 2 just got released and tribes ascend has been eating a lot of time. Now I need to figure ou if I want to buy my way into the MWO beta and if so, at what level... The atlas looks sooooo badass.

Hi Hugh, welcome back.   :)

ARE YOU NUTS ??????

pfffff...you give us guitarists a bad name....im sure you are banging your head to the wall by now... if not ,you should :P

Chief, now, if that was Prime, he would think;"If there's grass on the field, I'm playing ball."  :P

Or, you could go with what Fat Momma's fat brother would say; "if you're old enough to pee, you're old enough for me."  :P



Good to see you Poppa Kazak!  ;)

Yes see if he has the set.  It will save me the trouble of having to go out onto the internet to find them.  Once you have them, can you zip them up and send to my email account.  Thanks D!!!    :D

E-mail away. I sent it to your AOL account.  :D

Yes you can upload your own avatars and I have that working.  The stock ones with the site, which have musicians and some other stuff are not working.  I will look into it, but I am thinking of replacing those anyway with Mech profile avatars.  Does anyone know where there are Mech profile avatars out there that I can download and load as stock files for us?

I can Ask Genghis Prawn at the Sunder Junkies forums if you'd like.

I found out how the Local Time (the time displayed just below the words "BLOOD PEARLS" at the top left of the PC screen when you're on this web site). It's based on Central Time in the US. So, just add (or subtract) form Central Time whatever you need to get to your local time.
Also, I found that this web site also takes photos that you supply for your avatar.

It sounds to me that it is your power supply also.  From the sound of it, it is not passing the Power Good signal to the motherboard, which is why it is not attempting to even boot up.  If you have a power supply tester you can verify.  Of course I have one here, but I don't think that will help too much, unless you want to visit me Old Man!!!   :D

I am in the process of setting up my new Dell desktop just for MWO.  I went crazy.  But in the end I think it will be worth it as I keep my desktops running for 5 years.

I do have an even older desktop that has Win XP and an old Ubuntu install on it (8.something). It works, just real old.
900mhz cpu, 512ram , 120gb hdd, 40gb hdd, soundblaster live card and it even has a floppy drive. Old Gigabyte mobo amd not such what power supply thinking Antec (since that is what I usually buy) Might have to pull the Power supply out of it and put it in the old server to see if that does it.
I got an old HP desk top with Win 98, 192mb ram, 466 CPU, 12gb HDD, floppy and a Sound blaster 128 sound card. I use it to play all the old MW2 series of games. still works great, lol

That should work for a test, wouldn't it?

This is about MWO (and some bad luck)

So a couple of years ago (? maybe, crap I dont remember), I boughts myself a really nice laptop.

It has 4 gig Ram, a 2.5ghz dual core AMD cpu and an AMD/ATI Radeon 4250 (chip).

It plays MW4 GREAT!!!! plus some others like Veng and Black Knight and Megamek and MechCommander and well thats pretty much all I play. It also did all the other things I needed in a laptop, nice big screen, built in number pad, large HDD and DVD burner.

It doesnt meet MWO SPECS (CPU not enough and Vid chip not enough)!!!

To top all that off, I was gonna save up for a new machine (I remember a day when i would just go order the shit and build me one, but now I gotta save). We had a pretty bad TStorm come thru here this past weekend. I was on my old XP Gamer machine (still not enough for MWO) and lightning strikes very close by. Power goes out (for about 20 minutes).

When the storm passes and power is restored, I am a little concerned about me gamer being smacked even tho on a surge protector (nice one). To my surprise, it starts right up and works just fine. However, my olde server machine (I now use it as a testbed machine to check out crap before putting any software on my old gamer or my new laptop) seems to be zapped. It was NOT on and plugged into the SAME surge protector as my other (gamer) machine.

When I hit the power button, the front panel lights up as does one of the internal fans, but that seems to be about it. I am thinking power supply, but it could be more. Cant check it out unless I replace the power supply. Its an old 2.4ghz dual core 1 gig ram XP machine, but it worked and worked great, now, not so much.

So, no PC capable of playing MWO and also down 1 pc that I used to work on other peoples machines as well as my own. Really sux.

From what I have read, gathered and Dev statements, MWO is pretty CPU intensive. They highly suggest Quad core CPU

I been looking at Tiger and NewEgg and price wise/performance I am thinking AMD Quad Core if I ever get up the cashola. I have had very could success with AMD in the past (in fact, I have only owned about 3 different Intel based machines). Price wise, they are MUCH less than Intel and the performance is only a wee bit less (especially for 2oo to 300$ diff in price). Will shoot for 6 to 8gb Ram and I will most likely go with an NVidia GPU. I already have a GREAT sound card and speaker system and probably enough fans out of my old (non working server and currently working old gamer) to keep it very cool inside.

I will still need to buy a copy of Win 7. I have one on my Laptop, but it did not come with a disc (cheap bastards), only a recovery section on the HDD and my backup discs I created when i bought it.

Based on all the above info, it will be awhile before Ole Vettie can get into MWO.
Boo!

So in the mean time, its MW4Mercs and some MegaMek.

Chief, I built my own system form parts (Newegg FTW). However, I will most likely just use my present MW 3.1 (this PC just makes the minimum specs).  :o
