This is really stupid. I have no virtual drives running at the moment, and I have tried the registry/permissions fix but still I keep getting the "A Required security module could not be started" error. I've even tried Widnows 2000 compatibility mode, and still i get that error. I've tried searching the entire VUgames forums and google, but still cannot find a fix.

Why are they doing this for free?

dL

Likely to help spur sales of the now-dated game, which probably doesn't sell much right now. And also to help get people interested in the expansion. By giving free multiplayer, if people like what they see and see another game obviously of the same franchise in the store they're more likely to get it.

^ I can vouch that that fix works. I installed fear combat on my friends pc with daemon and alcohol installed.

No! I've tried that very fix already. And it did work but ONLY for the first time..i restarted my computer and FEAR gave me the same error upon starting it. I checked to see if that Registry method was saved or not..and I checked the permissions and it was indeed saved..all users has the Type "Allow"....but now I STILL get that error. That's what I meant in my post...and as you can see in that VUGames forum that bangbang posted...for a lot of people the problem still persists.

If anyone has any clues, please help.

This multi is poor, give credit that its free. It dosent run well on my system, I run at minimum which looks crap to get a decent smooth frame rate and I have a decent-ish system too. Its actual online is a mess, esp spawn points and power of weapons. This isn't for me. I find ET more fun and playable.

So are you saying the game stinks because you can't run it well? :|

The online is far from being a mess, spawn points are close together and timed perfectly to spur teamwork on most maps. The weapons are all balanced well, you can kill anyone with any weapon at any time, instead of one super powered weapon of doom. Which I find is good for an online multiplayer game such as this. I think I'd rather run around a map and get killed by someone with the pistols than some newb coming in and wiping out everyone with say the plasma gun over and over again because he "found it" on the map somewhere :p

Of course ET is fun, but I don't think you can even compare the two games really. Plus, if you are not liking FEAR because you can't run it well, that isn't really giving it a chance per se. Where as ET runs well on a 386 (not literally, lol) FEAR needs a fairly beefy system to get decent frames.

I'm constantly doing pretty good in all the games I join and this is only like the 2nd FPS I've played for PC. I barely played BF2, in fact, I gave my key away... All my FPS games are for X360. I think I'm just that awesome at shooting people. Assault Rifle FTW.

You get what you buy when you get a PC, expect no more from it.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Shun Tao · Posted

      I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

      Anyone who expects MS to play fair is a complete idiot.
