Title: Anyone without a life?
Post by: Sn00ks on December 31, 2008, 01:36:37 PM
Fancy a game tonight?
I'm not going out so I'll be stuck in. :sad:
If there are four or less do you fancy giving one of the other campaigns a go?

I'll cancel my sexy new years party just to keep you company.

Currently watching "Dead Set" that I recorded whilst at the last LAN to get me in the mood.

Cancelled mine too. Make a change to vomit so early on New Year's eve.

I was hoping for some CoD4 as I'm not a big fan of L4D (Lag4Dead)

DuVeL rolled back his drivers from the latest and got rid of the lag, might be worth a try if it's nVidia.

My temporary card runs L4D fine but struggles slightly on COD4, although I could probably get it working better if I switched a few things off.

Remember - the other solution is to put the game in borderless windowed mode. Worked great for me with no need to rollback drivers.

Aye loads of problems with that, sort of lagging in game...
Although it stopped "lagging" I now miss my GPUfolding.
Might try that Windowmode Oldy is about this weekend.
 
Sorry, not on tonight, familystuff to do and after that, party at a m8s house.
 
Untill next year.

My PC is one of the oldest here running a GeForce 6800 so if I can run without lag I'm sure you can?

I'm in. :)

Fed up of spending Hogmanay at some random house party, having nowhere to sleep and no way to get home, and ending up walking miles home in the freezing cold at 7am.  So this year it's a bottle of wine and a takeaway with the missus. :D

Or rather, some gaming while she watches telly.
