Hawkian,

I have a question about xpadder if you don't mind answering. So my system is Win 7 pro and after some quick research, looks like you need to use compatibility mode for xpadder. The odd thing is that when I select Windows 7, it doesn't work. I ran a troubleshooting scan with the program and apparently it works with Windows XP SP2....pretty strange. I wanted to ask if this was normal and if selecting this older operating system for compat. mode will affect anything negatively?

You're all good. Compatibility mode runs at the app-execution level, it doesn't do anything to your OS generally. As long as you can get the controller to respond (can you move your mouse with it?) it'll work for the game.

I should add the guide to my recurring post...

Guarantee I'm going to screw up this post? Yeah.
Haha, SoE's CEO just tweeted:

"for all you GW2 people cheating on Planetside 2. I will be one of you at Midnight tonight. don't worry. PS2 will be off for a few hours that should give you plenty of time to play GW2 for a while then come back and experience manly open-world PVP!"

I didn't get any emails about that. Thanks for the help, guess I'll have to email customer service. I better not miss out on early access!

No one did. They were announced on their facebook page.

That's pretty cool of him. I like the idea of game companies acknowledging competition, and giving them their due praise.

Is that in the NVIDIA Control Panel?
Click to expand...

Yes, quoting a few pages back
razgriz417 said:
Are you running 305.67 beta drivers? Also make sure you in nVidia Control Panel you have the power management setting set to maximum performance.

go to Manage 3D settings>Program settings>Guildwars 2>Power Management Mode> Prefer Maximum Performance


But yea I wouldn't be surprised if SLI performance is currently not up to par, there's suppose to be new nVidia drivers coming out within the next week or so, hopefully you'll be able to get some better performance

Hmm, do you know if there was a code for early access seperate from the account key? I registered the account key I received from Gamestop's online store. Think I'm good? Prepurchased back in April btw.

If I played in one of the headstart weekends with my purchased Guild Wars 2, do I still have to put in a code? Or can I just log in and play when it starts?

EDIT: Oh, apparently it's already on this page, ok!

Even more reason for me to wish PS2 well.

I have no idea about Gamestop. Might want to contact customer support.

No AMD/ATI equivalent of this chart (I'm using a 6970 + 2500k @ 4.5)?

I figured you needed a game to test it out on so didn't try it but it detected my controller and displayed it within the program and I noted the controls seemed to be already configured. I'm assuming it's on Welltall's simplified control scheme (by default) since he mentioned you could switch away from that in the instructions.

Mine won't install from the disc for some reason, just pops up the client and carries on downloading. Looks like I'm in for a long wait, 34% downloaded :(

a lot of the pvp community will be playing on Stormbluff by the way, so just be prepared for that, not everybody gets along with the pvp community.

Super important question:

Friend of mine wants to buy me the game and let me pay him back on my paycheck. Can he just put in all of his standard info at the pre purchase page over at GW2 site, and then simply change the email there to my own, so that way the CD key,etc is emailed to me? Or do we need to dos omething else?

Upon seeing the CE, I decded "fuck it" and picked it up. I attempted to sign up on the guild website, but there seems to be an error. I can't register a new account. Just goes to an error page.

I was trying to do the battle for lion's arch before release, get myself a free oppressor weapon with those marks of honour that are burning a hole in my pocket, but fuck this game. GW1 will not be missed, terrible henchie AI means I spend most of the time trying to micro manage them to not get themselves killed which means I'm losing DPS time and I'm the only one doing anything. The waves pile up and Blimm's buff expires and then the Jade Cloak's/Armour's have their way with you.

So I guess I'm a little confused. If I want to order the game right now, and play on Saturday, what's the best way to do it? I see that Amazon has $5 credit for preordering, but it does not make it clear that I'll get the early access.

Hmm. I'm not sure. What's the error say? The last sign up according to the site was today at least an hour ago.

If it asks him to create an account/password obviously he'd need to put in what you want. Otherwise I think what you said makes sense.

I don't know what to do. I just picked up Dark Souls on PC, which I've already played on PS3 but I also preorder GW2. I have too many games to play and not enough time to play them.

Yeah, I did this the other day. I made sure I wasn't logged into the site first, though (not sure if it matters.)

It'll email the CD key and also place it into the "Register Your Serial Code" field for you, so he can copy/paste it into a PM if necessary.

Although Hawkian already answered, let me also point out that you're supposed to select Windows XP SP2. You see, you're not selecting the OS you have (Windows is pretty well aware what version it is), but the OS you want to emulate (as Windows has no way of knowing what version the program works with). So Windows 7 is precisely the one option that won't work (XPadder doesn't work on Windows 7).
