Steam now has a 4 pack for sale. It's actually $149.97, that's 4 games for the price of 3...which isn't bad, but it really is a day late and a dollar short.

Yeah just saw that too. Current UK price is ?29.99 on Steam although I can get a physical copy for ?25. Now I just need 3 more people who'll buy it and I can get it for ?22.50 through Steam.

Good to see that you were playing on a PBBans streaming server ;)

Stats are currently showing over 1000 servers streaming, 236 total bans - 142 in the last 24 hours. The majority of the latest will be from the #50120 violation - Evenbalance wanted to take a chunk out of one of the major cheat sites, and succeeded! Waiting for the appeals to roll in now ;)

Yeah I played BC2 online for the first time today and I must've seen about 20-30 of those messages in a few hours.

that's why VAC is fail and PB is awesome. does it in real time, not monthly...

Yeah, its so awesome that it more often blocks legit players on some bull**** reasons than it bans actual offenders. I would rather play with hackers than use that piece of ****. Also Evenbalance is probably most ignorant company ever only behind apple seeing how they never do anything.

On another note - am i the only that has http://badcompany2.ea.com/soldier showing 0 everywhere for 2nd or so day?

PB only kicks, occasionally handing out global GUID bans for certain violations. It is the streaming communities that provide the lovely instant bans - specifically those that use the UCON method of streaming as opposed to repository :)

Tried to play some games today. I say tried. The only servers I could get on was the ones in my history. Kept getting my favourite message:

When I do get in there seems to be a flood of the following image, like every 5 minutes.

bfbc2game20100321162248.png

Which begs the question, is this happening just on the PC? Because If so I'll abandon ship and get the PS3 version. Im sick and tired of it all.

I am in love with the M1 Garand. So much ownage in a neat little package :) It and the M14 are my two favourite weapons in this game. So much more satisfying to use than any M60 or noob-tube/pro-pipe :)

Also, @Anaron: http://www.battlefie...ny2.com/veteran <-- Veteran site is now back up and integrated into the BC2 site.

Every time I try it, it keeps saying

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
