    That magic Rig!

    Sorry i only got half way through the first paragraph before my eyes glazed over from all the vacuous dribble. There is simply too much here to correct you on, i actually don't know where to start. I can see its futile discussing this further with you, all i get is arrogant, childish insults. I...

    That magic Rig!

    Hey, appreciate the feedback, although i can't help but feel a condescending attitude here. Admittedly i don't know half as much as some people that frequent this forum, but i like to think i know enough to differentiate between a minor technicality that falls into my responsibility for system...

    That magic Rig!

    Hey there, I appreciate your constructive input and agree with you for the most part, but i must pull you up on a few things near the end there. They are only impossible to fix if you have a certain build, with the right hardware configuration, the problem doesen't exist in the first place...

    That magic Rig!

    Certainly could be explained in that context or vice-versa, if the engine cannnot work with the hardware's specified software and no 3rd party software to compensate, we must change to a different hardware component which supports the level of software the engine requires, after all an Engine...

    PC not powering on/up?

    It must be one of two things, i would pay strict attention to how you wired the F-panel, some of the labeling can be very confusing on some boards. That or your 24-pin isen't seated properly, either way it sounds like a terminal has no connectivity or like others say, reversed polarity. I...

    That magic Rig!

    I am quite aware of such titles that require older drivers in order to function properly, but that's not what i speak of. Although i wish it were that simple. The bugs mentioned above are unavoidable with certain configurations, even after exhausting all avenues of drivers/software options...

    That magic Rig!

    I have no idea how you got that impression, that was in no way meant to be derogatory or hostile in any way. I was simply pointing out, not all people can discern between broken mechanics and a fully functioning game. Just as if you were to put me in charge of operating a nuclear submarine, i...

    That magic Rig!

    I'm not sure of the technical reasons behind it, could be a number of things such as bad on-board audio, chipset/driver options, input/output devices, lack of bios options, all i know is when tested, games function very differently. A good example being a mouse acceleration issue with Bioshock...

    That magic Rig!

    Not everyone is lucky enough to stumble upon a compatible hardware configuration, i did once but those components are 4 years old now, not that memory and especially PSU's have anything to do with game engine related issues i've ever encountered. Its usually Processor/core utilization...

    That magic Rig!

    Does anyone remember that perfect setup where everything just worked, no bugs, no crashes, no compatibility issues, your machine simply did what it was told and life was good. I used to have a system like this and never appreciated how good it was until now. While everyone else was pulling...

    MX518 is dying, looking for thoughts on other mice

    I am also in the market for a new mouse, i have been using a Razor copperhead for the last 2 years which i find to be really uncomfortable and the middle button now needs 2 tonnes of finger pressure to activate. The thing about all these new mice is they have very radical shapes and...

    Hey guys, Reporting back with findings. I went with Tommo's method and uninstalled the problematic IDE controller but it diden't go as smooth as anticipated. After a reboot my windows loading screen hung for a while and windows eventually started up, then before everything could render i got...
