OMG the update is still not here for europe!

also where is this soccer thing? i cant find it in the game!

they really should have had some better instructions, and some arrows in the menus for those who WERENT in the beta!

You have to go to Find a game and select the soccer map.

PATCH IS UP FOR EUROPE!

:woot: Only 13MB too, so it downloads in seconds!

EDIT: Whatever they did, they've done well. I've just joined three games at the first attempt of trying, and experienced no lag what-so-ever! :D

Finally able to put some time into this game!

Man, i'm pretty worried now. I used my debt card with them so i don't know if i'll get any calls from my bank. Going to have to check any charges to my account.

Nearly ?300 was stolen from me recently, used to buy an airplane ticket somewhere in the Czech Republic. I'm 99% sure it has to do with ShopTo as well, because I rarely ever use my CC. So anyone who had a CC tied to their ShopTo account back when their Database was exposed, get a new card.

Yeah I have used shopto this year.

Done a bit of searching around the internet this week and it quickly becomes apparent that a lot of those fraudulent transactions happen to people who have used shopto.

From what I understand it seems the bad guys try a phone top up as you don’t have to speak to an actually human over the phone, this is to test the card should the purchase go through then they would move on to buying more extravagant purchases.

Lucky for me the bank has stopped the purchase and cancelled my card immediately, just waiting for a replacement.

Damn really?

I got phoned a few weeks back by Halifax fraud saying a ?25 or ?30 (cant remember which) phone top up was attempted, and a ?1.79 "tester charge". They asked me to confirm if it was me, I said noooo, payments blocked, no card issued. I thought to myself how the ****? As the bank account it's tied to hasn't been used by me since March this year (old student account).

Now it clicks, that account used to be used for my ShopTo account. I thought that was suppose to just be a "scare", Shop:no:no:

Only just read your comments guys, but yup, exactly the same story. They said people use top up cards for testers and if they get away with it they'll move onto more expensive items. My bank spotted it and called me right away. They mentioned a charge for 99p which I actually thought was legit and a purchase from the App Store on iTunes, but after reading AB's comments it looks like it was another fraud attempt.

.Kick from Neowin also had some trouble with his bank a few months ago which he pretty much led back to Shopto. A frickin' j(N) (N)

cant you report the site?

also just curious which airport in CZ? if you have the details maybe you could track em down :)

Shopto already released an official statement/comment on the security breach they had. According to them though, no personal details were taken, which was obviously a huge lie.

It's not the actual site stealing the money, so I don't think there is anything you can report them for.

This is basically all the information I have, it's from my bank statement;

"CSA AIRLINE 06476908" 14/07/2009

And yes, I did get my money bank after a lot of paper work.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
