Is anybody having freezing when clicking through menus? I find if I am looking through say example the armory upgrades menu in the campaign my game may freeze sometimes it wont completely lockup my computer but freeze the game for a bit and then comeback. It also does it sometimes when loading a mission and there is no hard drive activity from my comps indicator led.

I by the way, am Aindraes. I've continued to knock them down and prove to them that it's not as bad as they may think, repeatably.

It's a worthy read, though it might give you a bit of a headache because they're a bit stupid and it's long.

So I finally did it.. after 20x reloading the level.. I did it. :D I even took a screen cap of how I did it.. SCVs piloting the fire turrets ftw. I did it because it was the most effective way imo, all my other units died except for some Tanks covering my rear. If I was flanked, I was done for.. but they held up pretty good.

and yes, I know about the screen res.. my bday is coming up so I'm getting a new monitor. :)

It's a shame they don't have a demo really. Thanks for the help :)

There is a demo in the form of a guest pass. There's a thread somewhere around here where you can request one. It lets you try the game for 7 hours(playtime only, not real time).

I get the same. (win2k.sys) error for me.

I found I can get into, and play the game by running it in comparability mode for Vista, and updating Direct X.

But when I exit the game, it blue-screens my pc, with the win2k.sys error again. Don't know if that will help you at all, but it seems im the only one having this error. :\

Hey man, have you tried posting the problem on the SC2 forums? or emailing Blizzard?

It seems the videocard thing was the problem that was posted on the front page. Adding the lines seemed to of fixed the problem.

Somehow SC2 feels a bit similar to

Mass Effect

storywise. Or is it just me?

I've only played a very small portion of the first 2 missions so far, and I'd have to more or less agree with that sum up. I think it's because Blizz saw how popular those games are and decided to add some "flavor" to the story telling aspect of SC.

Yeah I thought the same thing whilst playing. The only thing missing what the rep meter with your crewmates tongue.gif Still I thought it enhanced it.

Great campaign, definitely get your moneys worth imo. Epic storyline, good missions and plenty of cinematics etc. The choices, the tech choices and the RPG'y elements of it just enhanced things imo. Cant wait for Heart of the Swarm.

The game ends on a high two, in the sense that the last cpl of missions are epic of course. The 3rd Crystal mission was a bit sad though, those lil fellas are always left to make brave last stands.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
