I'm getting the same thing. Someone in the Hot Deals thread got it working by uninstalling KB917422. Since that is a critical security update I'm not going to be trying it.

Thanks for pointing it out! It worked! It's one of dozens of "critical" hotfixes, I'll take my chances. :p

Woooo!!! Time for some FEEEAAARRRRRRR!!!!

I have to read a review first before I think about putting FEAR back on my machine.

I don't know if their site still takes you back to step one after step 2. But what I did was refill out step one again after taking me back and then I got a hotmail message after clicking to the second step again.

Still nothing here, using Gmail.

If anyone's got a spare, I'd appreciate it! :p

Some more Mirrors

Emm. direct link to File Mirrors doesn't work... so...

Go Here and type "fearcombat_en_107.exe" (without quotes of course) in the search box. I'm getting 700KB/Sec on one of them...

I went into the sound options. It wont let me enable any of the eax modes. They are grey out. I have a sound blaster x-fi

I have not played this game for quite some time, ages in fact. I thought I'd DL the new FREE MP patch and see if it was any good. Anyway, I remember when it first came out and the SecureROM protection or what ever it was played havoc with playing the game, due to virtual drives and all that rubbish. Anyway, after messing around with it and after the 101 patch was released most people got it running etc. So, it really doesn't matter how fast it downloaded cos the darn thing won't run again...I can't believe this still has these problems after all this time. What a POS. I really cannot be bothered to go through all that BS of trying to get it running again which is annoying the hell outta me. :(
