FEAR demo worked fine back then.

The game doesn't even attempt to launch, it gives needed to be closed msg 1 second after I click the icon.

Tried changing drivers and stuff... nada

Hmmm, I don't know what to tell you then. You certainly can run the game, of course you won't be on max, but that isn't a problem. Hmmm, have you tried any tweaked driver?

Also not just for you, but for others having the "can't start" issue, have you disabled Alcohol 120 or Dameon Tools by any chance? (If you have it installed of course) The virtual drives may be causing issues. Also, are any of you running any kind of refresh rate forcing app or reg hack? Mioght want to disable that as well.

I can't think of anything else offhand :|

Is multi-player all about killing other players?

What is fun part of the game?

Yes, multiplayer is usually about killing other players. But in FEAR (and other games) there are other gametypes that don't specifically involve killing others, though that's what always happens.

Anyone else noticed the status text size takes up most of the screen now? :/

Yes, it's a bug. I'm sure it will be fixed soon, or you can fix it yourself once we find out how :)

I know for a fact that some people can run it with tools like daemon tools

I killed all none essential services via task manager and now I don't get an error.. I get nothing at all, doesn't work of course, double clicking the icon and nothing happens yet other games work fine this way as well.

WTF is up with the MOD 3 ROCKET launcher ! just had my ass handed to me never seen it before in 100 + matches

There are several weapons that are "hidden" throughout some of the maps such as the rocket launcher and a really big honkin canon thing. Yeah, don't get hit with that one.

Nice game, although there's no 1280x1024 resolution to choose from in the options. That's really lame, does anybody know any workaround to this? :pinch:

Set your options in-game, then Quit and go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Monolith Productions\FEAR

Open settings.cfg, change the values and save. Change the file properties to Read Only.

Keep in mind the aspect ratio will be weird (e.g. in the loading screen)

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.

My specs are in my sig. I'm running on ForceWare 91.31 and this is the error.

I played the demo and borrowed a friend's full version back when it first came out and it was VERY smooth and now that I play this combat crap its slow as cold molasses even with the settings turned down, heres a tip too don't use the BUSTED automatic settings thing it'll set all the gfx options way too high. Also when I go to start it up I always get this BS message about my system time is wrong and needs to be athuenticated??? WTF! BULLS**T!

Ah my specs

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? :|

No i mean the stupid restrictive SecuROM copy protection, i like my virtual drives it means i can make images of my games and just select the image i want to mount rather than having to swap and change my cds.

Its a damn FREE mp game, why on earth they feel the need to protect it up to the eyeballs so it restricts people from playing it i dont know.

      I named Hitler because he is the de facto anti-semite. But you don't have to hate Jews to be a genocidal maniac. In fact, these days, so called semites are the ones acting in ways that would make Hitler proud.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
