All your RAM should be the same speed and DDR rating. Does the new RAM's DDR and clock speed match the old RAM you're still using? That'll create an error.MMaRsu said:

Gaah. Does the mouse not work at all in the Last Remnant's menu screens?

Sounds likely, a memtest overnight pass with only the new module installed should give a good indication. Also check your BIOS for RAM voltage/speed/timings.MMaRsu said:
As long as you're using the same type of memory with similar voltage requirements you should be fine. Usually the mobo automatically chooses speed/timings that all of the sticks can handle, unless you've manually adjusted either.Dambrosi said:

Since it's a Visual C++ Runtime error I'd start there. Check that you have the required version installed (there are multiple versions for both 32/64-bit).Imp the Dimp said:Once I launch Jamestown this message flashes across the screen:
wat do gaf? Apparently I'm not the only one having that problem but I haven't found an efficient solution yet. Updating my GPU driver is pointless as it's an integrated graphics unit (SiS Mirage 3 or something).
Verifying integrity of game cache, defragmantation of cache files and reinstalling didn't do the trick either.
In my humble opinion, the first Mafia game is one of the best games of all time. It's so ridiculously good.GuiltybyAssociation said:
There is this mission where you drive a race car through the city at night to get it "fixed" at a garage. With those insane sounds and the awesome atmosphere in this game it is goosebump inducing. I always play Mafia with a manual transmission, for full-on awesomeness.
Sadly, the second game did away with many of the realistic tidbits, like manual transmission or losing ammo when reloading prematurely. It's also nowhere near as good a game overall.

I ordered it online when it hit 10 here. 20 is way too much, especially for a sale.fushi said:

I hope I'm not going to regret this but I grabbed The Last Remnant on the sale - despite thinking I got away with it last night (mainly because it didn't show on the front page)!

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to digging into the first Mafia. I fully trust my friend and he considers it a top ten PC game of all time, so this should be something. One really can't complain at $2.50, at any rate.

Should say on the sticker on the RAM module, also enter BIOS and set everything RAM related to auto.MMaRsu said:

How is the co-op in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory?
Still fun and worth it?

I don't own Jamestown (sadly) but, the guess here is that, like unrenowned said, you might not have the correct version installed. Since the games are built using different versions of directx, dotnet and all that, you could give it a go and (re)install the version in your Jamestown folder. Since I don't own the game, I can't check the file structure, but if you try and do something like this: Go to where the game is installed (in my example I use Chime and Steam on C
, located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\chime\ and then head on into the VC Redist folder, and install it from there. Steam usually installs it as you get the game, but something might've happened right then or there's an error in the installfile. But, that's beside the point, please go ahead and try, then get back to us! Wessiej said:
Reading through this thread seem to give me the impression that it doesn't work on Windows 7, not sure if there's a difference between 32 or 64-bits. If so, I'd venture to guess your best bet is to try compability mode, run as admin, or something else. If that doesn't work, well, then I guess it's up to the developers to sort that out, if they are.

Hoping for a Terraria daily today, although I will get it before the sale is done.

A chance for more people to experience Crysis (especially those poor fools who have only played the sequel) is never a bad thing!1-D_FTW said:

I don't think Crysis, Mirrors edge or other games which have been discounted by 66% - 75% in the past will be making it into the sale. Valve can put them up as a daily, mid week or weekend sale and still probably sell the same amount as if they were part of the summer sale because the vast majority of users already have them.
Valve uses the summer and winter sales as away to attract new users, get $50 out of the infrequent buyers and get the more hardcore users to buy the games launched in the preceding months between sales.

So pretty much zero chance we will see a Bulletstorm sale?
