My power supply and hard drive are still very old in mine, but i need to get a new power supply since it isn't strong enough to hold my monster 8800.

[Killer Whale]

I don't think anythings changed on mine, apart from a few more programs. And getting rid of the internet (no way we could get a good firewall on the old thing)

[Jeff Vader]

Indeed. A computer gets old 3 years after purchase. Unless of course you were to upgrade the components regularly, in which case it would stay sort of modern all the time. But, if you have a computer that is 9 years old and has never been upgraded component-wise, it is old. ****ing old. No offence. It's just the truth.

[colecampbell666]

My PC will soon be about 2-3 years old - I'm getting a 3 Ghz P4 Extreme and 2 Gb RAM.

[Jeff Vader]

My whiplash laptop is one year old. I'm just concerned that upgrading it won't be easy, apart from adding RAM.

[Killer Whale]

so is anyone goin to help me, or am i screwed

[Killer Whale]

any campaigns that i can download with retail would be fine in the meantime if you know of any, i'd prefer not to go over the 100kb limit for missions though (game crashes)

[CP5670]

There are one or two official campaign missions over that. I don't see how that in itself would cause any crashes.

APC Computer: Starting the loading process

FS2 Loading bar: Two bars done, not much to go, lets get this mission through fast and clean

APC Computer: Can't handle it. Searching for centre of CPU Usage, arm the beam cannons

GTC Killer Whale: No hardrive, no! Just finish the job, i don't care if it takes 5 minutes

APC Computer: Sorry, no can do, found Cause of problem and commensing plasma core insertion, targetting the FS2 Game

Game crashes

FS2 Fred: Okay, this is the FS2 FRED, we are jumping in to try and soften the enemy forces.

 a few seconds later

FS2 Fred: This is the FS2 FRED, we are getting smashed out here, requesting immediate assistance. Hull breach on all decks, we've gone critical, help us!! AAAaaahhhh!!!

Booom!!

GTC Killer Whale: There's only one way out of this. *Changes detail to absolute minimum*

Starts game

APC Computer: Okay this load is complete, starting mission

GTC Killer Whale: Well, this detail is terrible, after i get past this mission i'll change it back

APC Computer: Fine, as long as it isn't to hard to process everything, it will be 'A' okay

Ok, whatever...

Get a new rig.

[colecampbell666]

First of all, get CPU-Z. Post screenshots of every window of CPU-Z onto HLP.

To take screenshots, press the printscreen button on your keyboard. (should be near the numpad). If you press ALT+Printscreen, it will only take the currently selected window. Open up a program like MSPaint or IrfanView (PhotoShop or any other image editing prog will work too), click somewhere in the middle of the canvas/screen, and press Ctrl+V. Save the screen as a JPG/PNG, and upload it to Tinypic.com. Repeat with the other tabs of CPU-Z. (be careful of the "SPD" tab, as it has a pulldown menu to select different memory modules, take a screenshot of each module. When you do this, get GPU-Z, and take a screenshot of that. Upload them to TinyPic and use the "IMG code for forums" to post them here.

I know how to post a screenshot










But i just said cpu cause that's the energy that computers use to load things isn't it?

What's a whiplash laptop? Is it a brand or a description?

In this case, an adjective. Something we came up at highschool.

The original Derelict?

[Killer Whale]

As someone a long, long time ago once said "It is finished..." The full Derelict campaign is now completed and available here on the Volition Watch Archives. Kellan and I have certainly enjoyed putting Derelict together, and we certainly hope that after 10 months, it was worth the wait. Enjoy!

I click on the here, and,

... and realise that you really should get FSO. Just the game engine and the Launcher will do. No need for Mediavps if your computer can't handle them. And then just get the SCP'd version of Derelict. And everything will be alright.

And this sounds like you're using IE. Wrong. Get any other browser.

Well my computer is older then me. But it's a good rig because it has the latest parts. Perhaps killer whale's rig is the same?

Explain yourself.
