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

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
