Re: GPU error/crashes

My Gigabyte GTX660 was doing that with BF3 and I sent it back under warranty. Since they returned it I have had very few problems with that error. In fact I'm feeling PC blessed right now. It sucks when people have to restart their PC's midgame. My crashes mostly occur when the next map starts to lo...

M320 causing crashes

There are reports that the M320lvg will cause your game, not the server, to lockup in some situations. Just a heads up. I'm not sure if it happens in every instance but some people were saying that if you shoot it at the right location it is a repeatable problem. I just did a test 3rd shot - crashed...

Moving BF3 or 4 to a different hard drive.

There are probably other ways but these instructions worked for me. How to move Battlefield 3 from one Hard Drive to Another (SSDs) 1. First things first, on your new drive create a directory similar to your C:\ drive. For example: Program Files (x86)\Origin Games 2. Open up Origin, and go to Origin...

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

I have had my ssd for a couple of weeks now and I am doing the same thing. SSD has Windows BF3 and BF4, very little else on the drive. Keeping it minimal and using the other for working....most of the time. If I really have to I can still use the regular drive to play bf3 or 4 and work at the same t...

Re: Hot Jeep

It was a small block chevy engine. The two rigs that were racing to him both had extinguishers but it was too hot to get near by the time they arrived. This picture was taken as an afterthought when the fire was dying down. They were afraid to get too close because of the fuel tank but, the fuel tan...

Re: Official BF4 Tag Thread

I voted no because I think it has the potential to cause people to leave or feel like they don't belong. We didn't have tags in DC for admins or players, and that server is still running. It is in my opinion a gaming community style server. By that I mean that it really doesn't matter what side you ...

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

From what I have read it is because the code in BF4 is poorly written. Granted it is still in beta but, the end of the month is official start date. I wouldn't expect it to help in other programs unless they were written the same way. If you google bf4.exe low priority you will find some people that...

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

I read that changing the bf4.exe process to low priority after starting the game helps. (go to task manager, right click on bf4.exe, hover over set priority - then click on low) I have told a couple of people that were having problems this solution and both said that it made the game play smoother. ...

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

Sometimes I am not very clear :15: Battlefield 4 is $59.99 on Origin and then for premium you add another 49.99 bringing the total to $109.98. Dammit Jim I'm a Dr. not a cunning linguist.

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

While an SSD will make your pc load faster and your games start faster they should make very little difference in actual gameplay. Yes SSD's are cool but if your budget is tight then imo the best value is a regular hard drive. $100 is enough to purchase BF4 and most of BF4 premium.

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

You should be fine Bob. Assembling the computer isn't really hard. Watch some youtube videos of assembly, be especially careful with the CPU insertion. It only goes in one way and you don't want to bend any pins. Make sure that the heatsink is installed correctly. Read it a couple times and if you a...

Re: BF4 Beta FPS

Maybe so. I guess I would rather have more information than less if I was getting ready to jump into BF4. It may be that the full version maps will be larger or have higher graphics requirements. As soon as the full version comes out I will post those numbers as well. So, like Toolman said, these ar...

Re: BF4 PC System Requirements

Interestingly enough Windows 8 is just a little bit faster than 7 for BF3. Not enough that I think you would notice it though. I expect similar results from BF4.

Re: BF4 PC System Requirements

Looks good to me. Lots of people are using the 660ti and getting good frame rates in BF3 and the specs of the 7970 are higher. I haven't built an AMD system in a long time but that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with them. They use more watts, so they run a little hotter. Your case specs ...

Desert Combat on Mac?

Is anyone here using a mac to play on the DC server? I found the downloads for Desert Combat 0.7 and final for mac and a 1.61d mac patch. Wondering if they would work for an old friend who I used to game with. If they will work I can post them.

Re: 460 Ford Exhaust Bolts

Good tips. Already done. I used to work on commercial fishing boats so I am pretty familiar with stuck, broken, corroded hardware. Some people will tell you that you can't run a mig welder in the holes without ruining the threads. In our case it worked fine and after running a tap through the holes ...

Broken exhaust manifold bolts taken out by welding with a mig welder then welding a nut on top. Then impact gun. You can see the broken off easy out in the center of one of the bolts.
