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

      What would be the point wasting time, money and resource testing EOL operating systems?

      expected when they force you by having to use TPM and secure boot for anti cheat crap, and lazy developers only test on windows 11.

      The fact I need to use "Show more" like 99% of the time is so annoying. Or why I have 7-zip under 3 submenus when it could be in top. And Microslop keeps saying how they'll improve Start and I've not seen ANY improvement yet. In MONTHS. WTF?! I'll believe any of it when they actually deliver anything.

      LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.
