Thread: Mirror Match27 Dec 2012, 07:05 AM By RNG, you mean the randomnmess of accuracy and critical hits evening out because both sides hold the same statistics, and it boils down to bare luck? In: Lobby

Most motherboards have the onboard graphics connections and may not work well with the Xeon solution. You can disable the onboard GPU in 10 seconds in the BIOS. It does come in handy sometimes though as well. My GPU once overheated (I live in a tropical place)and was having a lot of issues. since I didn't have access to my onboard graphics solution, I was stuck with a dead PC. Luckily I correctly assumed the thermal paste had dried up and was able to reapply and fix the issue. If I've had access to my onboard GPU, I could have saved myself two weeks of wasted time and CoH. It simply helps you troubleshoot some issues as a last resort, and sometimes, money depending on how computer savvy you are. In: Scrap Yard

I also have 2TB of storage for porn, which is now full. Fixed He is right, though. SSD is only getting cheaper, because they are getting larger and larger. The ONLY true disadvantage SSD has over traditional HDD's, is that they have more limited read/write numbers, but its an insanely large amount, that you probably won't run out of in like 7-10 years, by which time you just upgrade. The advantages? VERY fast speed. NO moveable parts, that means the disk doesn't have to spin up and also you can't accidentally bump your computer and mess up your HDD's (it can happen, especially with external drives!). SSD gets like a 15% to 50% speed increase depending on what its doing (booting up, launching an app, or running the app) IMHO, money is always a big factor, but I'd rather wait another month or two to get the money, than risk a performance loss or even regret it and upgrade earlier than usual. I spent about $1600 building my current rig, but that was in 2007! I've only had to replace one fan, and thermal paste once! Its now time for an upgrade, but $1600 in 5 years? Thats like $27 bucks a month! In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Mirror Match26 Dec 2012, 17:30 PM The good thing is, the game only has to factions, and balancing is more "simple", that way.If we'd had the stream of patches that OF had, without OF ever coming out, CoH would be a competely different game, and IMHO way more balanced. With two factions, they could even perform unit specific balancing, such as Stug vs T-34, or Rusky sniper vs German sniper, without having to worry about the cascade of consequences with the other faction, or when mixing them in 2v2, etc. That said, I still think 2v2 will suck if both sides are mixed, but Relic has surprised me more than once In: Lobby
Thread: Ubisoft to Buy THQ?26 Dec 2012, 17:26 PM Of course not! Basilone wants Valve to buy it... Except Valve doesn't do RTS. Oh wait, Valve doesn't buy companies, either! Or maybe he wants THQ to go the Indie way, and sell CoH for $2.00 on Xbox Live, electronic music and retro graphics. Or maybe what everyone wants is for Relic to be purchased from THQ by a private billionaire, donating an obscene amount of money so they can do games at his whim.... actually that one doesn't sound bad at all! 12azor, give them your moneyz!

Thread: New comp26 Dec 2012, 10:23 AM You won't be changing the Data yourself, but a lot of automated processes in your computer does. Something that is very recommended is spending a little money in an SSD where you'll be storing your OS, and/or high-end games. That way, your games will load faster, and any background stuff that the OS has to do while you are in the game, and must be written to disk, will be much, much faster. ...of course if you have a ton of RAM that's a little pointless.
