UT challenge tonight : Murc vs Tech support staff

[Snake-Eyes]

Haig: I need a copy of that. Too bad that it'll be too late for it this time around. My system's to the point that I need a fresh format/reinstall to get rid of some of the more flakey behavior- ie: Windows self-enables the sleep mode (even though I've repeatedly disabled it) while I'm playing, causing me to lose all keyboard control. When that happens, whatever keyboard key I was using acts like it stays pressed (meaning if I was sidestepping, my character is stuck sidestepping, etc.) until I hit the reset key. I did get 2 frags with the enforcer against guys with rocket launchers that way though, LOL.

Can't we all have that copy of Ghost? I've heard that Ghost 5.5 can copy the image directly onto a CD-R(W), but no Ghost below 5.5 can do that, or so I'm told. So Haig, what about giving us your copy of Ghost?

Jorden.

Hi guys,

search for ghost.exe and a dos mouse driver like mouse.com. I think you can find this mouse driver on one of the dos 5 or 6 disks.

Ghost itself is ~500K.

back to topic, dudes !

weee ... that was fun last night !

I've been fragged to hell, but what do you expect form a 28.8 modem when you have to pickup the weapons twice or three times to really pick 'em up ...

Anybody out there that might give me an hand to get better and steady ping times ?


------------------
Cheers,
Maggi

Hi Jord,

So Maggi, what you dare to say is that you'll be better when you're playing with a faster modem?

...

Of course I'm not sure, but at least I hope so ...

It's kinda useless, when you launch a load of rockets, run ahead to get that enemy, but being fragged into pieces by your own blast ... know what I mean ?

Anyway, it was fun and I'll be back on there asap !

Maggi,
I found iSpeed helped my dial up connection a bit, but I'm thinking a modem upgrade would do quite a bit for you.
For some reason, I get wildly fluctuation pings every now and then, but usually disconnecting and redialing solves the problem (must be something at my ISPs end of things).
Maybe it's about time someone (Maggi for instance...) tried one of those USR gaming modems, just so we all know whether it's a load of hooey or not

[Maggi]

Thanx DarkSyd !

But I'll stick with my modem until there's something really interesting and affordable here in Germany ...

[Guyver]

Is the Ghost you all are talking about different from the Norton Ghost program, which the latest rev is 5.1d (patched)?

Guyver

[Haig]

That's the ghost I use.

Nuts, don't you guys ever work?????

I wonder if anyone would care if I was playing UT at the office? Of course, they haven't picked up on the web browsing yet either.....
They joys of being self employed

[Maggi]

Sure, I work about 10 hours per day ...

Now it's one hour before midnight and I'm at home trying to reconnect to MGI.

I tried to tell myself that as well, until I'd been blown to bits for the so-manied-time by buddy Haig there... It's all in the skill, kid (And it looks like Haig's been playtesting alot lately, or that someone else is playing with his name... )

Dame I also want in but I dont have UT
and Quake 3 just dont want run on my
Pure3D2. Buhuuu, Cant the dame MAX arive soon.

[Rogier]

Maggi, same prob here, a man needs to sleep sometime, those canadian frag times are just too much if you are from Europe (and have to work the next day). Any contenders for a EUROPEAN MURC (UT) FRAGPARTY tonight (at a decent time for us, let's say 21:00 GMT) ?
