I have taken three screenshots of each of the three new maps and compressed them to 80% quality JPEGs. Together in a ZIP file, they total 1.91 MB. Where should I upload it to to share?

Used Exoload, here: http://www.ex0.biz/uploads/806/1155911705.zip

I cant even install it I try to launch fearcombat_en_107.exe then my comp HANGS for like an hour (or so it feels and nothing happens) dont know the problem

Not sure where you are getting it from, but I had to download it 3 times from Fileplanet before I actually got the full 1.8 GB file. The first file I had was 426MB although it said the download was 100% done, and the second one was 386MB or something and it also said 100% done.

Ok I finally got this thing working, and it was worth all the effort, i've played F.E.A.R all the way through so I knew what I was getting into but its far more enjoyable than what I expected. You spawn on and around where ever your team happens to be, which makes for some great choke point battles. If you have 5.1 surround turn up the sound set it on high and get ready to hunt. With 5.1 sound you can hear where your teammates are getting gunned down and go to that location, it totally helps. You can even hear people creeping up on you.

Last night an enemy was following me and I had no idea, he was trying to take me out unarmed for a good laugh, but he stepped on a bottle behind me which I heard from one of my rear speakers, I turned around and blew him away. So much fun.

For those of you who are getting errors on launch, or the game won't start up, we need more information than "it won't start up" :)

List your PC specs, what drivers you are using, etc.

AMD 64 3000+

A8N-E latest BIOS (1013)

2 x 512mb RAM

7800GT 91.28 drivers

Soundblaster live 5.1 with KXaudio drivers

XP with all the latest updates and I installed the August DirextX that came with it

Installed on SATAII HD

I've tried a few things from the sierra forums such as playing with the resolution in the configuration tab, turning off sounds, running it in Win98 compatibility mode. I also tried this which someone suggested but that didn't work either.

At what point does it crash? If it crashes immediately upon opening it, then verify these settings:

Go to the Properties of My Computer>Advanced Tab>Settings Button under Performance>Data Execution Prevention Tab

Make sure that on this tab, either "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" is check, or if the other option is checked (Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select), then ensure that the FEAR executable is chosen.

I have the second option selected, so I had to add FEAR in the list of programs below it order to prevent it from crashing. This might work for you, just something to check atleast.

When i run it all i get is "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed"

What a pile of crap, Securom protection on a free mp game.

Why is it a pile of crap? They are still selling the full retail game, the multiplayer still requires punkbuster and auth servers, and it is their right to protect their game with protection. Or because it's free, that makes it not ok? :|

*Game Uninstalled*

Just not ready for my system.

I feel you, I can hardly play it given my current system state.

Don't need too because I can run the retail version of FEAR just fine. Only reason I resorted downloading this release was because I only use FEAR for the multiplayer part. So this would have been quite nice to have, provided the "free" copy was tested prior to release.

Most of my screenies can be seen here

TBH it's no diff from single player except it's MP :) - I feel the weapons as always are wy too weak, compared to CS:S for HL2 DM for example there is no feeling of "Ouch I BET that hurt" and you can't "feel" the power of the guns in FEAR/Combat at all.

Oh well, it looks good and runs well....enough anyway.

I play with 2xfsaa 2xaf and mostly max details

7800GS

3200+ AXP

1gb dual channel ddr400

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Nick H. · Posted

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

      Anyone who expects MS to play fair is a complete idiot.

      Everyone behaves like Internet Explorer just never happened and Edge is whole new thing all while Microsoft is pulling the exact same ###### it did back then. Sigh.
