Would http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/05/05/disable-driver-signing-windows-7/ work for installing XBCD?

I also leave my computer on 24/7, but there's no reason to waste power, especially if the power options are so simple and unobtrusive.Railer said:
You can make a custom race with just two points.Blizzard said:
Everytime I start Steam it gets so slow to the point of being unusable. I click some shortcut and the mouse arrow turns to the cicling ball while steam just freezes. But, after maybe 5 mins, it get normal, running at blazing full speed. Don't know what to do and it is Steam Beta.

Yes. 3 activation TAGES.
Worth noting that it's the same price on D2D and Impulse.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
So apparently Jericho is $5. Thinking about buying. I always kind of liked the demo... :|

Hmm, £3.49 in the UK. I remember thinking the demo was ok as well. I'll give it another go before buying as I haven't played it since it was first released.

I liked the demo too. Ran nicely, looked nice and I find the occult-type stuff really interesting.

It was released back in the good ol' days of Ubisoft DRM.

May the Schwartz be with you
Should I get Civ4 or 3? This is for my Acer Apsire One netbook (XP) for when I go on my Euro trip.

I doubt 4 would run. 3 is probably your best bet, but not owning one I can't really confirm. Specs look fine though.

If you can run it, Civ4 definitely!

Thanks!
But can you do that with a group of people online, like from the world map?Desaparecido said:
Get back online!Jangaroo said:
Basically, yeah. It gets low ratings presumably because the world is empty of people and vehicles and doesn't have more variety, I guess, and there are some missing feature and not really much in the way of configurability/modding (not to mention the lack of AA thing people complained about).MNC said:
It DOES have a ton of unlockable points, liveries (paint/designs for vehicles and people), vista points (like scenic views) and challenges. It has some very atmospheric weather like thunderstorms and tornados and clouds and sunsets and such. I haven't seen any fog yet, dunno if it's in.
But the best thing in my opinion is the GIANT MAP where if you're in the mood, you can just drive for hours with no loading or anything. And as we've been pointing out, you can randomly do that with a bunch of friends too. I'm considering going ahead and getting the chatroom started for later tonight (maybe start driving in 1-1.5 hours?) but I might play some TF2 or something first. Four people added me from this thread alone, so if anyone from last night plays we might have a pretty sizable group.
*edit* Room is up. Add me at http://steamcommunity.com/id/agentelrond if you want to play in like an hour. We have 6 people including me currently idling.
No, there's not a party system like that in place to take people automatically from online free-ride to an online race. Someone would need to set up the custom race (not hard) and invite everyone to the race lobby via GFWL. Which requires gamertags/friend requests. It's what I wanted to do last night when n0b and Java hopped on, but I didn't take it to the next logical step of making a custom race.Blizzard said:
Also RE the weather I still haven't seen a tornado but I did hit a patch of fog in the 3rd or 4th zone the other day.

Steam won't process any transactions for me. I've tried two different credit card and Steam tells me that my purchase has been denied by credit card company. Both cards have plenty of funds available. Has anyone else ever run in this problem?

I would love to play Fuel with people online. I tried it singleplayer but couldn't really get into it very much.

I got that earlier, but I just tried again later and it worked.

Yep, that's a negative. I created a support ticket. But I don't they'll help me in time to buy the Civ 4 pack. This sucks. PC Gaming is failing me.

My odometer started at ~480km, and ended at 631km. 150km seems a bit low, actually, considering those cars go 200km/h. Still, we went a damn long distance. :lol
And thus, FUELGAF was born.
I was worried at the start...we couldn't get the last person or two in, but by joining off the GFWL list and using the steam chatroom voice chat (make sure to hit voicechat even if you're not using it, so you can hear everyone else), we managed to stay together with EIGHT people, plus one random guy who followed us like 200 km or whatever. I guess he wondered where 8 cyclists were going to. :lol I think the server limit may be something like 8-10 random people. If you have more than that it can be hard to get everyone on the same one.
I'll try to find some of the better screenshots and post them later.
*edit* I'll leave these two here.
Cruising across the countryside, all nine of us?
The few, the proud, those that stuck in and made it to one of the vistas.

Before I install all three Civ4 games, do they download to the same copy, like Company of Heroes does with its expansions?
I think I've seen him in free roam before, too.Blizzard said:
