If you are lagging when there are a lot of people on screen, it is usually caused by your hardware struggling with the extra polygons (it should happen when there are lots of pedestrians as well).

Muvy1999... I hear ya. "XP is a pile of rubbish... nothing runs right... I'll never move from Win98!" Sound familiar? So far the only 3 programs I've had ANY trouble from under Vista are: MxO (minor rendering issues) Symantec Internet Secu...

If Reverb's file is offline you can get another version here: http://www.aliciaandnick.com/MxO/files/pblip.zip It has all hardlines, uplink boosters (satellite dishes), landmarks and a few key points already marked for you.

Bayamos is right. Setting "Load sector LODs" to "on" means that the game will use more memory by pre-caching the the LODs for each sector (high and low). Because they are already in memory when a sector passes the high-low boundary it can...

Lag spikes tend to be caused by one of two things: 1.) Programs running in the background that periodically use the network or harddrive (p2p, some AV scans, widgets, gadgets and extra crap...) 2.) Something interfering with your wireless...

Muvy1999 is right... except about 1 thing. If you have anything other than the final release of SP1 (Windows Update or OEM release) you need to uninstall it and install the newest version. It fixes a security bug or two in the installer an...

Not including screenshots your MxO folder and the subfolders in it should total at about 5.67GB I'd let it finish patching if I were you.

Probably about a month, but I'm guessing. Here are a list of older versions of XP drivers for your card, and you can find the older Vista 32bit drivers here .

any decent software firewall will warn you the first time a new program tries to send outgoing data. Sygate Personal Firewall FTW (before Symantec bought them and messed it up)

Iterator reporting in. Flame on!

Screenshotty goodness! When I see Halborn angry I can't help but think "Hulk mad! Hulk smash!" (he does have a green tint as opposed to Colbard's blue tint)

Well the final release for Vista SP1 became available via Windows Update yesterday for the general public (Vista Ultimate users will get it slightly earlier than the rest). I've installed it and spent the last 24 hours testing it. So far I...

Can you send your options.cfg and useropts.cfg (if it exists) files, too? I'l have something for you in about 2 or 3 hours... I'm out of the office at the moment.

I'd love to help you here... but I need 2 files: MSCONFIG and DXDIAG (the full versions - email them to [email protected] if you can't link to them): *** Read before posting *** (you know the drill) In the mean time, run a full system...

Something to keep in mind in the future... Deleting a character often will cause your account to become stuck. To release a stuck account follow the instructions in this thread: ** CHARACTER LOGIN ISSUES - ACCOUNT IN USE **

A quick summary for the rest of you: It turned out that he had 1 stick... and replaced it with 2 new sticks of RAM... One of them was bad. The lessons learnt: Don't buy RAM of unknown brand (or anything at all for that matter) from eBay.

a basic object like a small sphere hardly needs an animator to make the object and give it a movement path. I personally think it looks not quite as "matrixy" as I'd like, but it seems to have pleased a great many players... Overall a big...

Story characters have hidden characters in their names to prevent being added to your friend list. Last I checked you could log the area chat when an event character was around (alt-L ?) and the actual name showed up in the log. Of course...

Memtest isn't as exhaustive as you may think. This should tell you if it's a RAM problem... swap the sticks in their slots. If the crashes happen more often it's a bad stick. If they happen about the same then it's either a dodgy slot or m...

The mobility x300 is on the extreme low end of 3D hardware (it's built into your motherboard). It shares it's VRAM with the system memory, so if you have say: 512MB system memory and the card is using 256MB then that leaves you with 256MB...

Don't forget that most players don't hang around the same areas that are available to new characters. Mara Central and Camon Heights Central hardlines seem to be the place to hang out.

Do all of you use computers that have the sound card integrated into the motherboard (AC'97 etc...)? I have a soundblaster X-Fi and haven't noticed it... there does seem to be a problem with the sound channels though... quite often I'll lo...

I'm sure this is just an accidental deletion but it can't hurt to check your subscription is paid up.

Can you be specific about what you copied over from your other machine... if possible I'd recommend re-copying the entire MxO folder to your new laptop, then re-patch. There may be a missing .dll file (they don't all get replaced with a fu...

Mashoe. Your laptop's video drivers are most likely the cause. You have intel chipset onboard graphics with BARELY enough power to run Vista. I'd say you barely meet minimum specs to run MxO. If you can, switch back to the other laptop. Yo...

It sounds like Comcast gave you a broken second hand modem. I'd speak to their helpdesk about it. It might just be their poorly made software that needs the USB. Either way they should never have given it to you.
