  1. Well, after frigging around with things a bit, it turns out that there was some 3rd-Party software banging around in the background that I could have SWORN I'd disabled ages ago. Killed those processes and removed them and shabadoobie-wow everything worked flawlessly. Well, I was pretty sure it was something I was doing wrong in any case, but I'm glad the problem largely resolved itself. See you all on the battlefield, and don't feed the visceroids.
  2. So, I just updated (and subsequently reinstalled) Renegade X after being away for a few months, having needed to replace my CPU and Cooling System after the latter crapped out on me. When using the launcher, the game will not start. At all. I don't even get a loading screen - my mouse turns into the little spinny gizmo for about 3 seconds then nothing. Zip-Zilch-Nada. UDK.exe process is running in the background, but other than that, no dice. So I do some basic trouble shooting, going down the list in the various FAQs, still nothing. Then I try just running the 32-bit application on its own - same result. Then I try the x64 version, and at last it starts! Rejoice and be merry, and all that. The conclusion I come to is that, naturally, the Launcher goes for the x32 version (because the x64 version isn't really supported). Is there any way for me to hook the x64 version into the Launcher instead of the x32, if only as a stopgap? It's worth noting that the game was running perfectly normally via the Launcher 3-5 months ago on the same hardware configuration, so I'm not sure what's changed in the meantime since I got identical replacement parts. I'm also running the game on a drive other than my C:\ drive, which I was doing before with no difficulties. I'll try reinstalling to my C: drive just to see if that changes anything. I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64, have an 8-core 4.7GHz CPU, have 32 gigs of Ram, and running with a GeForce GTX Titan X GPU. I am open to suggestions, as I'd like to run the 32-bit version from the Launcher if only to have parity with everyone else. Getting the Launcher to hook to the 64-bit version would be a nice stopgap, but ultimately I'd prefer the former solution, not the latter. Any help greatly appreciated!
  3. Niiiiice. Great Stuff!
  4. >sigh...< I dunno. This whole thing... the second I heard that EA was even CONSIDERING making Generals 2 F2P, I got very concerned indeed and started bracing myself for the worst. Now that the worst is here, the pain isn't any less despite that precaution. Ultimately, it means I need to start looking elsewhere for solid RTS titles. I mean, sure, there's SC2, but I felt really... apathetic about that one. Starcraft is great and all, but... it ain't no C&C. Hell, the best RTS I've played in recent memory is Sins of a Solar Empire (really really good, but not if you don't like space RTS's). There's others out there, but nothing that captures the raw scale of combat in a proper C&C title. Well, here's to hoping that Petroglyph (the Westwood remnants) get to work on something interesting and new now that that game they were recently working on fell through.
  5. Well, hey, man, have fun! Enjoy your holiday!

    New forums!

    The new forums are lookin' good! Pretty pleased that I didn't wind up having to go through the password-reset rigamarole. Woohoo! Next couple days are gonna be intense.
  7. I don't really mind the "new" RenX Chemsprayer gun all that much. If anything, the only gripe I have is with the green canisters. In Vanilla Renegade, it looked like it was filled with glowing, green tiberium. The new one looks like someone took some forest-green spray-paint to the canisters (that sounded really harsh, sorry!). Also, if I remember correctly, the Vanilla-Ren chemgun had larger canisters in relation to the rest of the gun. Granted, this could all just be the lighting/positioning in the picture, so I might be totally off-base here. Honestly, though, it looks pretty much fine. Not a high priority.
  8. Ahh, leadpumper! Good to see you, komrade! One of these days we shall show these puny americans the strength and majesty of a TRUE wrestling match! It... shall... be... GLORIOUS!!! . .. ... .. . In other news, a cute ragdolling/feign death trick, at least on Field, is by going to the top of the waterfall and ragdolling, ideally sliding your body into the water and catching it on a rock. This will provide you with an UNPARALLELED Bird's Eye View of the map. Tactical reconnaissance, anyone? You will always die eventually, so it's best if you use a freebie unit. leadpumper, we shall meet again, if not on this plane, then SURELY in the Great Halls of Valhalla!!! Needless to say, it'll be frickin' kickass! As is the Wrestling Map idea.
