  • Truth or dare? Something to read about...

    On the following URL you'll find besides 35 (!!) steps to install the latest NVidia Riva TNT drivers, something of truth about how it all works in the hardware and software business nowadays.

    Like:
    "Direct3D and OpenGL are
    at a pretty early stage of evolution on the PC compared to other drivers (for example, printer drivers are now very reliable and stable). So, there are a lot of features in the API's that aren't very well defined or well tested, and the API's and extensions are evolving very quickly."

    and more...

    check it out at <A HREF="http://unreal.epicgames.com/News.htm" TARGET="_blank">Downloading drivers and patches is an unfortunate necessity in this industry.</A>

    and think again before you start swearing about some drivers, games or hardware not working

    P.S: If for some stupid reason the above link doesn't work, copy the link (http://unreal.epicgames.com/News.htm) and paste it in the location-bar yourself. Then hit enter... Sometimes I hate PC's and Internet

      But, swearing is one of my finer points.

      Is this some kind of bust?
      Yes, it's very impressive.

        They missed two steps right at the beginning...

        1) Format c:
        2) Reinstall Win98

          All this from the guy that shipped the BIGGEST shovelware game in history ! T. Sweeney is a Patch's best friend. I still like Unreal and that is the only reason that I still have a V2 in my system. I feel better now that I admitted that.

            What gets me is that he ends up commending himself for creating a patching process that's so good, *everyone* should use it!!!

            Too bad they didn't just ship the game as line drawings in a flip-book, he could have become the patron god of patches, complete with shrines and offerings of virgins, instead of the unjustifiably maligned and beleaguered creator of buggy software....


            LOL, Steve...!

            Know just how you feel, LAMFDTK...I'm like that about SiN...but I ditched my V2 and I'm not putting it back no matter what the provocation...

            And I'm with Matt, Jorden, where's the fun in being a hardware geek if you can't swear?

            Who put her V2 in her roomie's PC, because finally her own Soyo 5EMA, K6-2 333 not o/c, 256MB PC100 , Millennium G200 8MB SGRAM, Win98 works plenty good enough...'til she's saved the moolah for the G400/Athlon rig, anyway [drool, pant, drool... ]
