What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Silent Hill 2 looks gorgeous on my new secondhand PC + 22" 4:3 LaCie CRT monitor.

Can't save.

Running the game as administrator lets me save.

Game freezes, virtually locks my PC up, and messes even with my OS's screen resolution in the process...

Should be fixed by setting the game's processor affinity to just one core.

No idea how to do that. I'll have a look tomorrow...

Open task manager, go to details, find the process, right click, that menu will let you set affinity.

Foxhounds b-day is monday but i am going to wake him so he can get his b-day gifts early that way he can spend the weekend playing it. Then it's off to the grocery store to buy stuff for tonights family b-day dinner.

Smile: This. Warning, it may get you misty eyed.

Yes, I will mark it late.

MARK IT ZERO!

I would, but only for going "over the line". (The line, of course, is plagiarism.)

Ticked: My monitor appears to be on it's last legs. After only a year and a half too. So just outside the warranty period.

The IPS panel is still brilliant, but, the monitor loses signal, wont respond to any of the buttons, and sometimes even distorts the image. I know it's not my graphics card or cable. Happens with both my new and old graphics card on both DVI and DisplayPort. I reinstalled drivers but that didn't help either.

I left it unplugged overnight in a hope that for some reason, who knows why, that would help. I guess we'll see over the course of the day.

Smile: My new 7950 is an absolute beast. With my 6850 I couldn't run PlanetSide 2 on lowest at any resolution without having framerate issues (it's not veryoptimized), now I can have it on highest minus ambient occlusion and it runs like butter.

I'm very impressed with MSI's cooler design. I haven't been able to get the card over about 73c and it remains extremely quiet at all times. It even looks nice:



And a last smile: I have the house to myself till Monday evening. Pajamas and video games ftw!

Super Smile:

My wife putting in work while I goof off:



Mow, mow, mow my lawn,
While I play on Steam.
Merrily, merrily, merrily merrily,
It doesn't suck to be me.

As long as Luke's house/neighborhood exists i'm not sure i could comfortably post pictures of mine.

Color me bashful.

I couldn't wish for a better house or neighborhood. If I had my druthers, I'd retire here.

Smile/frown: Giving the master bathroom toilet a make over. New handle, pump, and ballcock. Would rather be loafing around watching college football, but I do like my john running like a champ.

Problem fixed. Thanks... ^^

After that I had one more problem. Random video glitches...

Set fog from complex to simple, even though complex did not give me any video glitches before. That took care of that problem. Only thing, just to be sure, I set it back to complex, and lo and behold, the glitches were still gone...

PCs are just fucking weird I tell you...

Seriously considering a Windows XP / Windows 7 dual boot.

That should take care of most older games' compatibility problems right?...

You sure lots of vinegar and patience would not have solved the problem?...
