IW = open mouth insert foot.

I e-mailed Activision and asked for a refund because they aren't delivering a hack free server. They requested me to run DXDIAG and send them the files.. I did that and now they want me to Verify the integrity of my games files in Steam.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you contact them? What email address? I've been wanting to do the same thing, $60 for a game full of aimbots and wallhacks is unacceptable!

Went to support page and started from there. Also I know that a lot of people on the Steam Forums been reporting Activision to the BBB Online. . :)

WOW, I bet they are right on the downloadable content too, the PC guys have unlocked it.. You know its just sad to have the most anticipated game of this year, release and suck this hard due to how the developer is handling it.

Heh, this IWNet thing is now getting ridiculous. People are reporting that they receive viruses through some of the servers, as a result of the P2P nature and open ports.

Funny, but even funnier if this is actually true.

Yet still no reports from the big players websites.. You have to dig deep into the depth of the internet to find anything remotely calling out IW..

That's because the big players have wads of cash in their pockets that they just 'happen to find.' Either that or they have a "fair and balanced" mindset.

I'm a PC gamer, I didn't buy this game, mainly because of how hyppy it has been and it doesn't look all that different from its first. I'm just ganna wait for Battlefield Bad Company 2, which looks better than Crysis.

And it's a bad idea for game companies to simply look away from the PC gaming community, if rest follow suit then you'll just see more hacking communities start dedicating to raping consoles.

I also have a 360, but I also don't have enough to shell out 30bucks a month

^30 bucks a month? What are you on?

Its $50 for a year, so $3-3.50 a month. Or 3 months for $20(6.50/month).

So yeah wow.

Im a PC gamer and WILL NOT support activison for this screw up of a choice. Stupid idiots whoever decided to take out the dedicated support.

lol I was going to say the same thing.. Where in the heck did the $30 bucks a month come from. You can get an entire year for $49.99 !!

I agree with you on the dedicated servers, and thats why I did not purchase it for PC, but I DID get it for xbox, which in a sense doesn't really help the PC case I guess.

Yeah my bad I was thinking back in time when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

Another thought is my games look better on my PC than my xbox. I don't know why I should settle for the lessor.

While I do agree games look better on PC, my problem is developers are now trying to just port everything over to PC from consoles, so its pointless. On top of having to buy the latest and greatest PC hardware every 6months to a year. I honestly would rather just use my PC for reading neowin :p and emails, etc ALONG with using it to play MMORPG's since devs haven't figured out a way to make WOW play on consoles yet :)

There will always be great communities for PC gamers. There has never ever been a good RTS on the console, I cannot forsee that ever happening. MMOS probably wont either.

Most Xboxes will Red Ring if someone left their MMO on that long ;) Plus Xbox Live + MMO subscription + Broadband sounds like a ripoff. At least on the PC you only have to pay broadbrand and the MMO subscription.

^ Stay on topic. Red ring is totally different from gaming on xbox and pc.

Anyway, @Spysix of course I understand what you mean by that. I am the same way. PC games look 10X better then 360 or PS3.

Thats a fact because we put so much money into our rigs. Hell borderlands looks 13616516 times better then me playing it on my 360 via 1080p.

So yeah its understandable what you mean, but sometimes you just have to say **** it and go the other way if you have another option thats what I did and i did not yet regret what i did.

@Smeltn: DO IT NAOOO. Its an awesome game. First "RPG" i ever played in my life that I loved. More RPS's ftw.

On top of having to buy the latest and greatest PC hardware every 6months to a year.

No, these times are looong gone, my PC is over three years old, early last year I only bought more RAM ($40) and a new graphics card ($150) and I can still play the latest games with the highest settings smoothly. Seriously, the "buy new hardware every few months"-shtick is outdated and you can get great upgrades for small money.

The worst part of PC gaming is reading all the chatter from people who can't formulate complete and concise ideas. They also make up new meanings for words with no regard as to whether or not it makes sense to base it of said word. For example:saying they got "ninja'd" in which they mean somebody took something from them in a very overt and forceful manner which is nothing like a ninja. Hey, I got Godzilla'd which means an enemy dropped some money because, you know, Godzilla always does that.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
