VU say it will be fixed in the final product, though that isn't much help to you. When you installed the game were your system date settings correct?

cant belive i had to restart for a demo, that happens..not so much

Yeah but to be honest, the installer says you need to restart. You didn't, it didn't work. Surprising? (I guess not considering that there are many other problems reported with this demo) If you don't follow the instructions you don't give yourself much chance of getting an already 'faulty' (I had no problems running it on my 2.4Ghz/512Mb/Ti4600 system) game to run.

The intro was nicely done, had the MGS feel to it like a poster said above.... the actually FPS part of the game is "average", the Gun's feel terrible.

However the game is pretty good at creating a creepy feeling, like another poster said above, it does the standard hollywood scares(screams etc) and then the messed up "the ring" scares with that little girl randomly appearing and giggling.... had me spooked(note... playing these games at 1:30am is not a good idea)

The hallway bit was pretty messed up, Punching the ceiling caused blood to shoot everywhere and even tho I kinda knew exactly what was gonna happen when I went through that door at the end, I still jumped and shuddered when I heard a scream and a pair of eyes :s

The ragdoll effects in this demo were a bit messed up tho, The enemy's seemed to bounce around way to much even when dead and made way to much noise for something that shouldn't be moving

The scaryness in this demo alone > Doom 3....(which was like OH NOZ!!! Another zombie!!!!)

Did you guys notice bodies which died in awkward positions suddenly falling? This gave me quite a shock.

*SPOILERS*

At the part where you come down some stairs and see a man in a room behind some glass and overhear some radio muttering, I blasted the guy with the 10mm HV thing or w/e it is which shot the glass out too, the other guys rushed out, one of them (awesome ai) jumped through the broken window but I bagged him halfway through the jump. He died in a really awkward (<3 ragdoll) position on the ledge. I cleared up killing the others and turned to walk off when I heard a thud behind me. The guy on the ledge had suddenly dropped off.

I don't know if that is scripted or if it was just the ragdoll doing what it does. Was quite an effective scare though!

I couldn't play the whole thing through in one run. When I got to the ladder part the girl scared me so bad I had to save and quit.. Then I come back.. Finish going down the ladder and there she is again.. Save and quit. Then I finished it...

I get the same thing when I scroll down and see your sig...

:p

I'm loving the demo so far. The graphics are quality. I'm running it on full everything with 4xAA. Sweet!

I have yet to try this game

I wonder how scary it is after finding doom 3 boring half way through the game...

that's what I was thinking. There's too many obviously scripted scary pieces in here.

Also, it's like Medal of Honor; just before a new wave of enemies there's a short (<half second) loading stutter. It kind of spoils the suprise.

After playing it once, Let's hope you can still find it fun running around shooting people when the scary aspect has been removed.

Wow this game is really really cool.

The a.i is semi dumb at medium though. But most of the time its fine.

I see people here with great specs saying that cant run this game smooth with anything above 640 x 480

I find that strange because im running on a 3200, 1 gig and a non gt 6600 with medium cpu settings and high video settings @ 30 fps.

:wacko:

I thought the AI was rather decent...but maybe I just suck! :p

The part where the helicopter lands...if you take out the guy standing on the platform across from you without the guy on the base level seeing, the guy from the base level will do the same thing over and over again.

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
