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

1gb dual channel ddr400

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
