I got Athlon XP @ 2ghz

1.25gb of RAM

Radeon 9600XT

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

Is multi-player all about killing other players?

What is fun part of the game?

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

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 :|

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 :)

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

[Beastage]

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.

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:

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.

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)

All the download sites are slow a heck...even the torrent.

[Trong]

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.

Yeap many people getting it

that means someone at sierra pooped the game.

[Marduk]

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

p4 2.4

1 gig ram

Geeforce 6600gt

Identical to you, apart from using Forceware v91.33 on a 6800GS.

[Inplode]

sounds like it dosnt like v91.33 FW

[Cavalyr]

gonna have to grab this..thanks for the update...

Oh I forgot to say that that isn't the issue, I already tested with some of the 80 series drivers.

[Sheppard]

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.

For all you people complaining about a crappy download speed. I gave you a perfectly good link to download from.

http://www.uk-online-gamer.co.uk/files/fea...mbat_en_107.exe

Use that and you'll be fine.

Ps : Loc, can you add that to the main news page?

[ANova]

They removed the good weapons. Lame.
