Here it is. Hope you can make something out of it.

Full log: Just copy everything in the console to a txt fle and post it here?
Fonts: How do I do that?
-
So, any help for us two? Pleeze?
-
Here's the list of the errors the DR console shows. I started copying the messages as soon as they turned up in a different color than black. Maybe you coder guys can make something of it.

I have an issue with the Readable Editor. When I try to work on a Readable I created in an empty map, nothing is shown on the preview screen. I attached a screenshot of my desktop, so that you can check the error messages in the console. If you need a copy of the complete console text (at least the yellow and red text), just say a word.

I thik you need to update TDM to the latest version first. In order for this to work, you need to d/l the TDM Updater from the website, as the tdm_update.exe supplied with the first release of TDM didn't get a connection to the server (at least not in my case). After TDM is updated, everything should work fine.

Re-d/l'ing the tdm_updater worked, thank you sooo much!!!!
-
Hi guys, I'm having problems getting the tdm_updater to work. Every time I start it, I get the attached error message. Firewall (ZoneAlarm) and antivirus (a-squared) are switched off, the Windows temp directory is empty. Does anyone have any idea what this error message means?
By the way, I'm d/l'ing the update via Torrent, and so far there's only one seeder. If anyone can you so kind as to help seeding? Right now I'm getting 30k/s from Austria, and I would very much like to finish the d/l today.

...and while you're at that, replace the fan(s) on the old PSU (or have it/them replaced). Even high-quality fans don't cost much, and you should notice the effect immediately. Also, they are way too important to maintain the airflow in the computer case, and if such a fan gives out, the effect for your gear can be deadly (as in overheating). Please keep in mind, that according to Murphy's Law the fan will give out precisely when you need it most.
-
I second that. This sounds really strange and suspicious to me. 550W should be more than sufficient to power CPU and GPU, even on high loads. Maybe the PSU didn't have enough amperage on the 12V line, and that could be a potential problem. The Nvidia Fermi card is rumored to need 42A and above on the 12V line, so this might fall in the same category. As for the mobo, if the Acer CPU compatibility list explicitely mentions the chosen CPU, then a simple BIOS update should have done the trick.
Not to talk bad about someone I don't know, but I can't shake the feeling that you paid more than you needed to.

Hi SeriousToni, ich warte mit der Übersetzung von St. Lucia vor allem darauf, dass der Readables-Editor fertig wird, mit dem man eine Echtzeit-Vorschau der Schriftstücke bekommt. Bei Living Expenses war es ein irrer Aufwand (allerdings zum Teil selbst verschuldet), das Ding in seine finale Form zu bringen. Da eine Übersetzung und die dazu gehörige Begriffsfindung ein fließender Prozess ist, werde ich mir also um die korrekten/passenden Begriffe erst dann Gedanken machen, wenn es so weit ist. Material habe ich erstmal genug, und Dein Input hilft mir auch schon weiter. Beachte aber bitte, dass TDM (noch) keine Sonderzeichen (z.B. Umlaute) darstellen kann, die Begründer, Gläubigen, Anhänger und Jünger fallen also leider erstmal raus.
Was die Verbindung zwischen Begriff und Story betrifft, so gibt es bei jeder Übersetzung gewisse Spielräume. Die auszuloten und zu nutzen ist das Handwerk der Übersetzer. Wenn es so weit ist, werde ich den Interessierten erstmal Beta-Fassungen zukommen lassen, die sie dann kommentieren können. Ich bin überzeugt, dass auf diese Weise eine Übersetzung entsteht, mit der die Community leben kann.

jdude, remember to update that bios, the latest version is dated 2008/12/09 (R01-B0). Also, just to support Serpentine's claim on that wattage, note that Fermi is reported to consume 280W alone, which comes very close to the PCIe specs that allow for 300W max. So, the HD5850 (which is a very efficient card) will consume much less power. 500W PSU sould be fine by all means.

Check AnandTech here: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/default.aspx?p=52&p2=56&c=1
Although he has no Q8300 to compare, he has a Q8200 and a Q8400, so you can safely assume that the results of the Q8300 are right between them.
Also, while this page is in German, you can find results for E8400 and Q8200 here: http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/hardware/prozessoren/2009/test_prozessoren_2009/2/#abschnitt_das_neue_testsystem
But the comparisons you are really looking for are these: http://www.hardware.fr/articles/778-1/comparatif-geant-131-processeurs-intel-amd.html
Good luck!
Quick note: You are absolutely sure that your bro's mobo can run these CPUs?
-
Don't know which link you mean. Anyway, since Anand from AnandTech has experienced the same things (like being shut out because he didn't praise PhysX and CUDA to heavens), I trust that Charlie's articles are essentially true. So far, he was right with all of his predictions and rants.
Anyway, regarding Catalyst AI, it's three or four clicks to disable AI, and TDM runs perfectly well. Also, I have no idea why ppl are complaining so much about ATI cards/drivers. I for one have little to no issues, and I'll be happy to buy the HD5870/2GB once it reaches a sane price point.
-
Oh thanks, Serp. I have been searching quite a bit for decent info about fermi. Seems like I'll have to wait for the next generation like my friends predicted. Or get a geforce 9, but that's hardly an upgrade. I do need something better before Witcher 2 is released though...
Even worse news for you, bro, is found here: http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/02/20/semiaccurate-gets-some-gtx480-scores/
"The GTX480with 512 shaders running at full speed, 600Mhz or 625MHz depending on whichsource, ran on average 5 percent faster than a Cypress HD5870, plus or minus alittle bit. The sources were not allowed to test the GTX470, which is likely anadmission that it will be slower than the Cypress HD5870."
So waiting for Fermi will be quite pointless, or so it seems.
EDIT: And this is the main reason why I don't like Nvidia: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1051123/nvidia-cuts-reviewers-gts250

Yes. Also, have you tried to explore the city a little more, especially the upper parts? There is a lot fo find in this FM!

Mr Lemony Fresh, there's a point that seemlingly hasn't been stressed enough in this thread: you are not supposed to fight in hand-to-hand combat. In fact, it's the last resort. Granted, some players will want to rid the whole level of all human life (as it was the case when I played the Thief games), but I think the focus of TDM is that you try not to be seen/attacked by enemy AI. Think of TDM as T3h_Mutha of all First Person Sneakers. While it does thake a while to get used to, it will pay out eventually.
Nice art, by the way. You really do know your stuff. Loved the Turtle Lizard Man!

Same with AMD and the cripple tripple core Phenoms/Athlons. In part, these are CPUs where one core is really defective, but often there's such a high demand for these in-between CPUs (as in between a quad core and a dual core) that perfectly good four-core chips are sold as triple or even dual core. If your mobo supports ACC, you have a good chance to unlock the switched-off core(s) and make a great bargain.
As for the Intel CPU, it also depends on what software tools you use. While you can't raise the voltage if the mobo/bios doesn't support it, you can go a long way with the stock voltage alone. Just find a hardware forum and ask the overclocking gurus there, they sure will be glad to help.
-
My brother is spending 500-700 dollars I think. I thought the 9600 he has is still really good though
Say, has your brother tried to overclock his CPU? In this case, a simple CPU cooler upgrade would help to keep the CPU cool and stable. Intel CPUs usually overclock very well, so 3 GHz could be within reach.
-
STiFU, the graphics card of your choice would be something from ATI's HD5000 series. Depending on your budget, I'd say go for a HD5850 - not too expensive and considerably faster than your old Nvidia part.
Serpentine, you beat me to posting the SA article. You know, although ppl tend to dismiss what Charlie is writing because he's such an Nv hater, all his predictions concerning Fermi have come true.
-
That teaser! Man that was scary! But honestly, it totally looked like a graphically improved version of TDM.
-
@woah: Why did you think Starship Troopers was bad? Okay, it wasn't the right-wing, reactionist crap the book was (actually the other way around), but a truly great movie non the less. I agree on most of your other choices, though, except Alien. Alien_s_ (the first sequel) is one of my other favourite movies that didn't make it into my list.
-
One of my most hated movies is Spider-Man 3, just after X-Men 3. Both movies were horrid crap.
Movies that I own on DVD (which always is a sign that one loves them):
Predator 1 and 2
Pitch Black (Special Edition)
The Chronicles of Riddick (as well as the Director's Cut)
Fight Club
The Matrix (same as with STiFU)
Equilibrium
Evolution
Serenity (and the associated show Firefly)
Not really falling into the category of a movie, but great (and in my DVD shelf) as well: BSG and Eureka.

Snakebite, do you have Catalyst AI disabled?
