I had a similar glitch on my first play through, although I was able to get half my squad through the door and then it acted like a closed door for movement (my soldiers could still shoot through it. I ended up having to have my volunteer use rift to commit suicide and restart the assault (on...
Money is usually limiting, at least early in the game. That's the way it's supposed to be. Makes you make tough decisions. Selling stuff in they grey market helps a lot though.
Off topic:
If they hadn't just made Syndicate into another crappy FPS remake I'd say that would be at the top of the list. Same with another turn based fallout (although that one made a pretty ok shooter)
In general I find anything with ranged attacks to be the bigger threat as long as the zerker isn't at close range. Usually you will get at least 2 turns to take shots at a zerker before he gets in a shot as long as you retreat your guys away from him and use your attacks to distract him...
Well that sucked! Bug killed my Normal Ironman game right at the end of the Temple ship! Finished my first turn in the last room with the big bad guy and during enemy turn game crashed. Reloaded and started back at the beginning of the previous turn...free quasi save-spawn, nbd. Well I then...
Not sure. I went after the base a little too early (july?) and tried to pull my guys out and there was no extraction zone in normal. got my squad wiped by 8 mutons and a berzerker all at once. got pinned down and couldn't keep under cover. Playing iron man. Debating restarting whole game or...
Yeah my guess is it hurt the game mechanic too much. Basically all you'd have to do is have the first guy target the cover and everyone else take him out. Wash, rinse, repeat. It would completely negate 90% of the tactics and strategy in the game. Sure you can use the rocket launcher for the...
What do you guys do for squad selection strategy? Depending on the difficulty of the mission I like to send between 1 and 3 low level guys on every mission. This provides 2 benefits. One I have a steady flow of guys leveling up, and two it provides me some fodder to use as scouts while my...
Just ordered last night and needless to say I was up till 2:30 playing "just one more turn"! Playing at Normal Ironman to get the hang of it before moving up to classic. Spent hundreds of hours playing through the previous games multiple times.
Overall I'm satisfied and the perma-death of...
I also upgraded to this from an 8800gt, although I did pick up a second used one to sli about 1.5 years ago which made waiting easier. Definitely a significant upgrade, you won't be disappointed!
This! If you can find a good deal on a 7870 that would be my vote. Keep an eye out as they can be found in the $200-220 range lately. Definitely worth the extra few bucks over a 7850 IMHO.
I just built a new machine and have been thinking of upgrading my monitor. My current monitor is a 5 year old 22" Acer 1680:1050. Overall it's a fine monitor but relatively low end with some serious light bleed around the edges on dark scenes. I'd say my price range is probably $300ish but a...
Very happy with mine! Running at 1150/1300 no issues at stock voltage. Got it to run 3dmark11 at 1175/1350, but had a few random crashes playing Max Payne. Since I've dropped it down everything has run with no issues for a couple of weeks. Don't remember my exact 3dmark score, but somewhere...
Looks like it's still live in the September catalog. picked up a 3570k and ASRock Extreme4 about a week ago. Very happy and can't beat the price! Bundle prices (-$50) seem to still be good on the 3570 and 3770 with Z77 mobos.
Dang! Missed it by 3 days! Ordered mine on the 29th. Only good on purchases after the 1st. Very happy with my card though (other than the size which barely fit in my case)...anyone looking at buying a card around this price should jump on this!
Just picked this up a few hours ago before seeing the thread. Was buying the OCZ 128 GB SSD ($80 in another thread) and came across the card deal as well. I was thinking of trying to get another couple of months out of my 8800GT SLI setup and waiting for some holiday deals but at this price it...
I'm finally considering upgrading to blu-ray. I currently run my DVD's through my HTPC and upconvert them to 1080i. I'm am debating between just adding a blu-ray drive to my HTPC. The one thing that concerns me is I'm running ~5 year old tech on my "HTPC" (basically my old desktop) and it...
Well everything is inexplicably working today. Yesterday I had a couple calls into comcast tech support at work with one telling me it was the connection limit and another telling me it was my router and then transfering me to netgear. When I got home my internet didn't work at all but it...
well looking at my router firmware it looks like my router is acting as a DHCP client. I do see only one public facing IP address so I guess the problem is on the router end. I was doing some testing and I was able to get all 6 devices to connect to the internet at the same time at least once...
hmm I'll check into that. I'm not a networking expert, but I'll check my router settings. I've heard/see the term DHCP but frankly i'm not exactly sure what it does. Google is my friend...
I can't switch providers because I live an apartment and comcast is the only company that services our area. I tried to get FIOS but our place isn't wired for it.
I have a router, a netgear wgr614. I've had a number of people tell me that only my router should show up to my ISP, but I still can't get more than 5 devices to connect to the internet at once (they will all connect and show up on the router, just no internet connection)
So for the past few months I've been having problems with connecting to the internet from my laptops. Well today I found the answer. Comcast apparently has a poorly publicized limit of 5 connections to the internet at any given time. This sounds like a lot but it isn't. We have 7 and it's...
Well found the SLI indicator and installed far cry 2 and ran the benchmark. It's working and I'm getting about a 50-60% boost in FPS with SLI vs. single gpu. Guess the other two were just CPU limited. Thanks guys!
I've got MW2 and far cry 2 (never actually installed) so i'll check those out tonight. Just ran the first few benchmarks I knew of that would give me a numerical result. After reading some more it does seem plausible that I'm just cpu bottle necked in the two benchmarks I've already run, but I...
I've looked for options within the driver menus, but the newest drivers don't seem to have many options that I can find. Where exactly is the sli indicator?
The other question is do I need ntune for sli to work? I tried installing it but it says I have a phantom version already installed...
Is there a good way to check that it's even working? I know there may be CPU bottleneck issues on some games, but I would think I'd see at least a bit of a boost in world in conflict at 1680x1050 and high detail. I know my CPU isn't a blazer, but I've got it OC'ed to 3ghz.
I just picked up a second used 8800gt to SLI with my existing card. They are both EVGA cards. I installed the second card, connected the SLI bridge (does it matter which side is which? No indication on the bridge) updated the drivers and enabled SLI. Both cards show up in device manager and...
Finally fixed it! the trojan redirects your internet connection through a proxy server. This link describes how to go through your internet options and remove fix the proxy settings.

Actually this is the exact same problem I appear to be having. I removed the exact same trojan/fake antivirus last week. AIM works and I was able to download updates for malwarebytes but I can't connect through either IE or firefox over wifi.
I know many issue are a key mismatch, but I've typed the key in a dozen different times. It is the same key I typed into my HTPC, iphone, wii, and the laptop i'm typing this right now. Every other wifi enabled device I own will connect except this piece of junk old dell laptop.
wife recently got a nasty trojan that malwarebytes fixed around the same time I switched the network so I'm thinking that may have caused the issue instead of the switch
definitely not a key mismatch. Connects to network just not the internet. Tried ipconfig /renew and get a "media disconnected" error. Trying to sift through googled threads about this error and seems to be a tough problem to fix
I recently switched my netgear router from WEP to WPA. My new windows 7 laptop, iphone, wii, CAT5 connected desktop and wireless HTPC have all connected to the network fine. However my wife's old dell with xp home can't seem to find the internet.
It appears to connect to the network fine...
