Here are all the things I've come across and found out, before I found this place. lol
I installed America'sArmy ( AA ) and when I went to run the game, I got a Credital Error right away saying this after I clicked on the AA.exe
No Label
OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD Unknown processor @ 6305 MHz with 1023MB RAM
Video: RADEON X800 XT (6561)
Negative delta time!
History: UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop
yeah thats the full error message I get from AA.. Mind you the clock speed seems to differ from the 6305 Mhz to -5678 Mhz or at one stage 2345 Mhz.
I don't understand how the clockspeed can be in the minus tho?
What I've found out sofar from doing a hell of alot of searching..
Negative Delta Time is a possible issue with the unreal engine when having 2 processors or a dual core.
Some links to ut2004 threads with the same issue, ut2004 is a different game but its the same engine so the problem's cause is the same.

They both have possible ways to fix it though.
So there saying it's any game that use's the UNREAL Engine that has a problem deteching the DuleCore.
Also I had a major problem afterwards when trying to play BF2. I had BF2 installed 1st and was running smooth as for a day.. It was only lastnight that I decided to install AA to make sure it was goiing to run ok. Then I get the CE, understandable.. But when I went back to BF2, I join multi player and as soon as I do. Sound starts messing around with squilling and what not..
Then the screen goes black, then she reboot's.. I get a message at the start of windows/after its loaded up saying, Your system has recoverd from a cridital error. Problem caused by device driver or new hardware..
I didn't get this problem until I installed AA, and yes I uninstalled AA to see if it would fix the problem as it was the very last thing I installed.. But no go there, so I had nochoice but to do a system recovery in the end and now everythings back to normal and BF2 is working again.. This one has me stumped!!
Here's some of the dxdiag information

Well that's about it.. New windows installation, new/lates chipset drivers ect ect.. Just no AA.
Also what's this program you's are going on about, I tried the ROPE thing. But couln't figure out how to use the thing.. Also it was made in 2002?
I really hope someone here can help me on this as it's starting to make me go nuts.. LOL
