Rush? Never heard of that. The only game types I've played are "Get sniped in 10 seconds", "Get sniped in 4 seconds", and "I'm camping at your spawn point".

Find some friends and play with them then. I've found, on the PC, snipers can't hit **** if you're running hell to leather between cover.

Hit detection is defintely broke here. Playing on my regular server last night, creeped up to a baddie and plugged 4-5 shots directly into his head (no way I missed) with an M60 too. Nothing happened. The cursor didn't even flash. And this happened consistently last night. One of my favourite guns (XM8 Compact) was reduced to a beating stick.

Oh yeah hit detection has been off for weeks. More so recently than before. It improves if you restart the server every night but I've had 40mm under-slung shotgun rounds not kill someone at point blank. Or nades land next to someone foot and not see a damage marker.

@Killmaster

I said I was done for the night and I guess my game felt it too because it crashed as soon as that match ended. :laugh:

Anyways, horrible games for me tonight. I have the worst luck with spawning and then pretty much eating a grenade to face every time. Some might consider that good luck I guess...depending on how you look at it.

Good idea, I'll get them to restart the server tonight and see what happens with tonights session.

MW1 is a better game than MW2. Why it's still held in high regard by some I have no idea.

Different strokes for different folks really doesn't seem to fit the bill this time around. Same goes for GoW1 > GoW2 imo.

For me:

COD2 > MW2 > MW1 > WaW > COD3

GOW2 > GOW1

however....

Resistance 1 > Resistance 2

PGR 2 > PGR 3 > PGR 4

So, I am pretty flexible when it comes to sequels.

trag3dy maybe in here whistle.gif

A lot of that was from yesterday. :laugh:

I was having some bad bad luck. All those sniper shots you got on me...yeah...I pretty much just spawned there. And then wham, dead. Depending on how you look at it I have really good luck at finding peoples bullets/rockets/grenades just after I spawn. It's a skill that's easy to learn yet takes years to master..

And I'll be on later tonight, we should try to get into some games together if anyone is interested.

I'm thinking about getting this, but I'm very reluctant to dish out the 50 dollars (after having bought GOW3 and FFXIII over the last month). Is this game worth the purchase? I have been looking for a good, well-paced multiplayer centric game for a while now. :p

yes

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
