Hello:
I would just wish to advise all descent fans about a promising project taking form here:
http://cadenzainteractive.com/games/retrovirus/
Seems it has failed it's first kickstarter but it's still in the process of being completed and released...
What are your thoughts?
-
Actually looks really cool. I find this whole you being an antivirus program within the workings of a computer fairly interesting and for once, original.
-
Tron + Descent + Doom.
Interesting... :drevil:
-
indeed!
you know what to do: spread the word.
-
The alpha impressed me quite a bit; I hope they're able to successfully pull off a full release.
-
wow, that looks quite good. and i'm cynical about damn near everything new :P.
i do hope this gets released, i'll buy it.
-
actually if they are planning a new kickstarter, I'd say the best thing to do is inform all of us descent bufs about it.
speaking of which does anyone know what occured with the other promised 6dof shooters based on descent that the community was once discussing?
-
Miner Wars is still in alpha, though I think it's turned out somewhat differently than people were hoping for. As far as I know, pretty much every other project petered out at some point.
-
actually, I'm still looking for a complete release of miner wars. however, retrovirus might help diversify our current 6dof catalog.
Again off topic, but skyjacker from digitilus promises also to be a very nice space sim. It's kickstarter is still active.

The game demo crashes Windows Explorer when I try to open or delete it (not internet explorer, but a core component of Win7). I can't even right click it without Windows Explorer crashing :/

Probably a corrupted download?

Corrupted file system. Save all your work, close any extra programs, and run chkdsk <driveletter>: /f from a command prompt.
Like this:
Start > type cmd
right-click, then click "Run as administrator"
now, in the command prompt box, type in (assuming the drive needing to be checked is drive C) :
chkdsk c: /f
Windows may give you an error saying that it can't check the disk because it's in use, would you like to schedule one for next reboot? Press the Y key, then press enter.
Now, type in
shutdown /f /r /t 00
and press enter
Watch that you don't press any keys to cancel the scheduled disk check when it comes up. Note that you need a space between /t and 00. FYI, the syntax of the shutdown and chkdsk commands are:
Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f]
[/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]
No args Display help. This is the same as typing /?.
/? Display help. This is the same as not typing any options. {{this option gives you what you are reading now, and is very useful when used with pretty much any command}}
/i Display the graphical user interface (GUI).
This must be the first option.
/l Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.
/s Shutdown the computer.
/r Shutdown and restart the computer.
/g Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is
rebooted, restart any registered applications.
/a Abort a system shutdown.
This can only be used during the time-out period.
/p Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning.
Can be used with /d and /f options.
/h Hibernate the local computer.
Can be used with the /f option.
/e Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer.
/m \\computer Specify the target computer. {{ if shutting down a remote computer admistratively}}
/t xxx Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30.
If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is
implied.
/c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown.
Maximum of 512 characters allowed.
/f Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is
specified for the /t parameter.
CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]] [/B]
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
/F Fixes errors on the disk.
/V On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of every file
on the disk.
On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
(implies /F). {{takes a long time!!}}
/L:size NTFS only: Changes the log file size to the specified number
of kilobytes. If size is not specified, displays current
size.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid
(implies /F).
/I NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
/C NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the folder
structure.
/B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
(implies /R)
The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
skipping certain checks of the volume.

Huh, I was expecting chkdsk to bring up this special screen and take a while, like it did on my old old Windows XP computer. Instead it appeared to boot as normal, dunno if it actually did anything.
-
It should have... perhaps something is preventing chkdsk from running. :ick:
Read the last couple of posts here:
http://www.w7forums.com/chkdsk-does-not-run-scheduled-t4149.html
-
That link led me to a hotfix that fixed the problem. Come to think of it, I haven't ran chkdsk in a while, and really needed to run it.
Should probably defragment my hard drive while I am at it.
I'll see how the computer runs over the next few days. Thanks for the help!

:yes:
