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 found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
