I for one would like to apologise to Walrus, Rarebit, Brewko and any other MxO staffers that have been personally attacked during the recent "Tetra" happenings. Shame on those members of this community who, rather than structuring a compel...

That was fun Etherial 2... But looking at this screenshot: I guess spelling doesn't count... Otherwise where was Cyko's mask? Disappointed that noone became a pidgeon.

/manhug Anyway this topic seems done now unless any more job advice can be offered.

Glad you've stabilised. Was the background animated? if so it would have been hogging resources on your video card and causing the problem. Thanks for letting us know the result and we're glad to help

So the process of separating your RSI from your body and residing in the shell is a one way trip... The consequences of this could prove interesting. Anome will learn soon enough (albeit too late for himself) that, to quote a legend, "the...

Yes... Well it would seem I was pwnt. Although, I'm not applying for a job and that number of typos isn't bad for replying on an iPAQ in a moving car. Yet the point remains... phi = owned.

Also try turning off "scale LOD with framerate" in your GFX options.

can all affected players please post a screen shot with your graphics options displayed. I'm only interested in your GFX settings so feel free to blank out inventories, names, chat boxes, and "top secret" hotbar layouts. I have my suspicio...

What are your system specs Chuui? Just general hardware.... RAM, HDDS, CPU, GPU

I know a lot of people are busting to get Vista, and I'm sure it will turn out to be fine, but for now I'd recommend gamers to stick to Windows XP until vista get's it's 1st service pack. most of the high-performance issues should be sorte...

Chuui is on the money. I had the same problem. There seems to be a z-buffering issue with MxO AA clashing with nVidia hardware AA. You also can see doors a mile away too as black squares (not so obvious with all the recent darkness)

Oh ... there's alread a bunch of story behind this event that has yet to be revealed by the participants, like who helped the effectuator collect the twin parts, how the effectuator reassembled them (I guess that SUV really exploded big hu...

Recursion is/was scheduled for a restart in the afternoon of october 24 according to walrus .

And now mine have gone AWOL. Here's hoping the comms server gets fixed

Typically I would say SOE HQ would be the place to go. In the mean time I'd work on your grammar and general sentance structure. Uneducated teens rarely get hired into positions of comunity leadeship.

At this point your shoud /ccr it in game and wait for a response. Most players should be fixed by now I'd imagine.

I've racked my brain and all I can think of that might be causing this is your desktop. By the look of things you are running some sort of Dynamic Matrix desktop. If the video memory garbage clean-up from that is buggy then that's your pro...

I appreciate the fact that it is probably nice to not have have forums clouded with the questions of novices, but many new players do have legitimate questions that need to be asked. It's not a case of n00b questions, but rather there were...

Shhh... Or someone will bring out the anti-spam necro-neutalising lock-stick *hides* "Everyone's all for saving Hitler's brain, but as soon as you put it in the body of a great white shark... wooo sudenly you've gone too far!"

A book that buzzes in a big stinky trash pile... Sounds like somewhere Mr Anderson would keep hidden codes (in a book). I don't think that the Assassin would be terribly pleased that Anome is using his kill codes. Although given certain pe...

Dang that looked fun. Well done all for bringing that unlimit scum out of his command shell (I'm so funny) o.O Obviously Anome is planning something huge. Pendhurst Amaranth obviously are the key to key to his plan. Anome needs to confront...

There are some serious problems with these forums at the moment due to the worst test and implimentation plan I have ever been witness to. Basically they're a work in progress and were being abused by some people who think it better to des...

If you have overbright or anti-aliasing turned on in game (it's very hard to tell from JPG screen shots taken inside) try turning them off then update your video drivers (if you have an ATI card try the Omega drivers). The glitch is caused...

Good to see... Wouldn't want to get you all trained up just to see you go.

*phew* Here I was thinking that the techs didn't love us Good to see you haven't gone anywhere David.

I'm back from Hiatus! I had to install a server... took a few days. (I get to fly up to Sydney next week and install it on site) Chuui, could you perhaps post a photo or two of the router, in particular could you post a photo of the label...

It just so happens that my brother teaches Japanese (Kanji mostly) and can read it quite fluently... If I have trouble I'll get him to help me The only language is binary.

Ahh good old Norton... It gets worse with each release. Why it can't just pop-up and tell you that the program file has changed and ask if you want to allow the new version.

Welcome to our little pit of chaos Dan. David... what happened? You were doing so well answering everything before I even read most posts. Here's hoping the users appreciate your efforts.

Some routers (like CISCO routers etc...) you have to specify ranges like so: TCP port 9999 allow GT (GT=greater than) TCP port 11000 deny GT which allows ports greater than 9999 (10000) and up, but blocks them from 11001 and up. What is th...

Please, I need the ENTIRE MSINFO and DXDIAG files. If you like, upload them somewhere and post the links. You only have 512Mb RAM I notice. That will slow you down. Possibly launcher is corrupted. In your MxO install directory: Delete laun...

Looking at the msinfo again I'm a little worried by this line from the Systeemstuurprogramma's section: Naam Beschrijving Bestand Type Gestart Startmodus Provincie Status Foutenbeheer Onderbreking accepteren Stop accepteren amon AMON \??\c...

That's because the users that help tend to have a longer shelf-life than the TSRs aparently. Welcome our newest TSR: Dan T! "You don't have to be crazy to talk to yourself... but it helps"

2 possible reasons that it might have fixed the problem: A corrupt entry or invalid character in any of the .cfg files would cause a crash on load. A corrupted 3rd party .dll would not get replaced by the launcher. They only get replaced w...

You hit the info cap?! *frowns at the i$2573 in his wallet* People *CENSORED* about not having betajump... I think the ability buyback was a far far bigger thing to miss out on. It had to happen right when I had no internet for a month.

In your MxO install directory, delete any files or folders whos name begins with an underscore "_". There should be two directories and maybe two files. Then run a full system check . That will delete the temp download files and re-check e...

Without your MSINFO and DXDIAG reports there isn't too much we can do. How many screenshots are in your MxO install directory? If there are a lot, that can cause time-out. However, if the problems started after the patch then I'd say the w...

Which server? Which RSI? What is your system info? Keep the rudeness 'till after you've answered those questions. Otherwise nothing can be done. The servers seem to be working happily for almost everybody else.

I thought the only way to get an inventory item fixed was to /ccr it... I guess /bug is actually followed up on these days... :/

This has been identified as an issue with the forums. What happens is when you click "New post" (or any other link that will let you make a message) your future post is assigned an ID. The problem is how this ID is generated. At the moment...

This looks like the good-old Faction bug. Your best bet to get this fixed is with a /ccr in game (TSRs here can't do anything to the live game database)

What is the make and model of your modem (cable router/adsl router/dialup modem/etc...)? More commonly cable and adsl modems have firewalls built into them.
