F.E.A.R.Multiplayer to be released for FREE

[hdeck]

is it worth the 2gb dl?

Not hot for me. It crashes every time I start it, and VU Gaming's Customer Support forum is a joke. This sucks.

I played it for about 20 minutes earlier. I'm still getting used to the controls. I changed the some of the control keys in the main options but they remain unchanged in multiplayer mode- which is kinda fustrating. Other than that, I thought the graphics were very good and I like how they have different game modes like DM, DTM, and CTF.

i dont get the difference between control and the other one" _______________ all" i forgot what its called. they both look the same.

Same here.

Yes, I finally found the culprit. It seems that the problem is caused by Security Update for Windows XP (KB917422) (go figure). Just go to Add/Remove Programs, check Show Updates, and remove the update. It works for me

Edit: The update fixes this

A security issue has been identified in the Windows Kernel that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

So, remove at your own risk

meh, I think it's pretty boring. Looks nice for sure, but gameplay is nothing special, and it feels like you just move so slow....
(goes back to playing UT2004)

Doesn't look like I'll be playing this anytime soon if it requires the removal of a critical security patch.

 

[RelaxTheMind]

I still have yet to get the cd key I tried 2 email addresses and both have all spam stuff off.

I was hitting over 300kB/s on the torrent download.

 

[ourfpshero]

resign up-u will get a msg stating that this email address has already been used- and the key will be mailed to u immediately!

 

[Saku]

They wouldnt send it to my hotmail account, it worked with my comcast email.

played last night, excellent game.

reeeeeepost, someone hates the search button.

This game works great on my system at 1680x1050 almost maxed out.

You have to manually go into your settings.cfg file to set widescreen resolutions though (FOV is automatically adjusted).

Don't you need the original 1 player game to get this add-on?

NO

great game better than most games that actually cost money but why no voice chat? it also needs better objective maps like bomb/defuse.

runs great on dual core too

 

[ClockerXP]

I have an X2 CPU. Does this game actually use both cores? Just wondering...how can you monitor that?

CXP

 

[topslop1]

Played the single player - multi any good?
