  1. Thanks. Which driver are you using for your video card?

    The error is most likely a driver issue, since your hardware specs are fine. I hate to say it, but there may not be a solution other than experimenting with driver revisions.

  2. That error is usually indicative of either an unsupported video card, or a video driver issue.

    Please post both your hardware and driver specs. No promise that it will help someone help you, but it's needed to even start to try to figure out the issue.

    While you may have "the right hardware" by the box, many video cards and chipsets have been released since the game shipped that read as qualified, but aren't for one reason or another. Mobile versions, "budget" versions, etc.

  3. In the root Ghost Recon directory, there is a text file named "modsset.txt" which contains which mods will be active upon game start. The contents look something like this:

    // MODS SETTINGS - LIST OF MODS ACTIVE ON THIS SYSTEM
    "\mods\mp1"
    "\mods\mp2"
    "\mods\hx5"[/code]

    The mod name comes from the folder name containing the mod in question. Note that this file may be set to read only, and changes to the file require GR to be stopped/started to take effect.

    I've seen some tools that allow you to configure mods outside of GR via a GUI, but all they really do is modify the above text file.

  4. Is this legal? Is it an emulator or something? Is the client free too? I'm confused... :unsure:

    It's not legal in a general sense, it's not an emulator, and the client relies on modifications to work with the servers in question.

    Those running these servers are violating copyright laws in most of the world, though those connecting as clients are probably technically in the clear, legally speaking.

  5. I can't help with the crashing, but if you are stuck uninstalling/reinstalling, you can backup your save files.

    According to the FAQ here, look in the folder "GRAW 2 Installation > settings > profiles > (yourprofile) > savegames" and back them all up.

    Note that I don't have a copy of GRAW2 to double check this.

    Edit: If Windows is telling you the folder is corrupted, you may want to run a Checkdisk scan. For those who don't know how to do this, right click on the drive name in your My Computer window, select Properties -> Tools -> "Check now" and select both tickboxes. Okay it all, and you will probably be told to reboot. Do so, after the usual saves of current apps, and on reboot, the system will verify the integrity of your hard drive.

  6. Install order is GR -> DS -> IT. DS patches to 1.2, IT to 1.3, with 1.4 being the final patch.

    Patches can be found here, with "Patch 3" (1.3.5.0) being the one you need to apply if you have GR -> DS but no IT, and finally Patch 4 (1.4.0.0) for online compatibility.

    I can't help with the freezing issue, though, but at least you should be able to sort your patching out.

    To further clarify:

    GR installs version 1.0

    There was a patch that updates to 1.1

    DS patches to 1.2

    IT patches to 1.3

    Patch 1.4 fixes a few (for lack of a better term) mistakes 1.3 introduced. and is the final retail patch released.

  7. do i still need to be concerned about some hijacking us.

    It depends on whether your router's wireless connection is on or off by default. If it's off, you're fine. If it's on, check the instructions that came with it/your Comcast user manual on how to log into the router and disable the wireless portion.

    If you're using wires exclusively, you can just turn off (if it's on) the wireless portion, and have no risk of anyone leeching your service.

    If you're not sure on how to do this, please post the make/model of the router in question, and I'm sure someone will be able to give easy instructions on how to check and disable if need be.

  8. I don't think it's really worth it, but if you do go in that direction, look for the X1950Pro in AGP, at least. It shouldn't be much more money, and since you're already pretty much at the top of the upgrade path for an AGP system, you may as well go that small step further.

  9. 1. Is what I read true, and 10.1 renders current DX10 cards obselete as they cannot do 10.1?

    Yes and no. You will need a hardware DirectX10.1 card to process software DirectX10.1 specific rendering techniques in hardware, though DX10 hardware will pretty much render the minor "improvements" in software just fine. Remember, though, that even if an application uses 10.1, it doesn't mean it will require a hardware 10.1 card. Consider games like Half-Life 2 that technically are DirectX9 games, but work just fine with DirectX7 hardware. Also, keep in mind that DirectX10.1 is more or less a patch to DX10, not a major revision, and as such, doesn't really bring that much in new tech to the table. It's more of a change in standards than an actual change in tech.

    2. When will DX10.1 cards come out?
    November 15, 2007, in Beijing, at least for the AMD/ATI first release.

    3. Is it worth waiting?
    I still have an AGP video card. What do I know?
  10. G.I. Jane â„¢' date='Nov 10 2007, 05:51 PM' post='502582']aww man, & the 8800GT is DirectX10. ARGGG Cpl Ledanek, lemme get a piece of that wall...

    Perhaps I'm misinterpreting, but the 8800GT being DirectX10 shouldn't be a concern. DirectX is backwards compatible, so a card that runs DX10 native also runs DX9 and older normally. It's going the other way that's an issue.

    Sure, you need Vista to take advantage of DirectX10, but the 8800 series is still a fantastic card under XP/DirectX9.
