Angry_Games Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 you can install it with SATA drive, but you'll have to use a no-dvd exe to run it because the copy protection sees Daemon Tools & SATA drives as SCSI devices, and so it automatically blacklists them. besides, who wants to hassle with having to put the xxxxing disc in the drive each time you want to play? You bought the xxxxing game, put the no-dvd exe on it and let's play instead of dicking around with drives and uninstalling and rebooting and bios fiddling etc. once again: YOU CAN INSTALL WITH SATA OPTICAL DRIVE no limitations on installation. the copy protection bull crap kicks in when you try to play and it accesses the optical drive to verify you have a legit disc instead of a dvd+r/-r etc (or you aren't using Daemon Tools). The instant it sees Daemon Tools or any non-IDE drive, copy protection stalls and you can't play. Even if you switch your SATA optical drive to IDE mode, it will still xxxx up and not let you play.

EllisD Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Just drop a warning before you hop into vent. With all those exclamation marks you use while typing, i may want to turn my sound down. LOL, jk :beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailindawg Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hmmm......you are having one hella time AG with Vegas 2. The points you have brought out make the game sounds like it s####. The first Vegas is on Steam now for $19.95. Maybe I'll try that one out. I tried reloading my old version of RS36 and it will not run well. It won't play nice with the 8800 GT. Oh well, Dx8/Dx9 meets Dx10 and pukes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repr Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 so the co-op doesnt work? then it kinda looses the point of buying it i thought of buying it to play the co-op. if there isnt one...well...its just a tactical shooter. and there are some that do have co-op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisD Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Im pretty sure hes saying that there is no option for co-op in the Dedicated Server Options. Co-op is still possible as long as a player hosts the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisD Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Well, i went and picked it up yesterday. Seems just like the first but a little more polished. I am quite happy that it runs with everything maxed at 1280x1024 I only played through the first mission though. Anyone done the multiplayer bit yet? We gotta hook that up soon.

krazypoloc Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Has anyone found a way to make the god awful textures any better yet? I was poking around in the game engine config files and didn't see anything for a texture setting. I know GRAW had a texture setting hack and the engines are similar.

I was poking around in the game engine config files and didn't see anything for a texture setting. I know GRAW had a texture setting hack and the engines are similar. textures look bad? you looking at the same game? I'm with EllisD, I've got everything maxed @ 1280x1024 and the game looks awesome. Even better looking than Vegas1 and plays better, more interesting story, etc. Kranky: make sure you make judicious use of the right-mouse button (the action button that makes you hug walls/corners etc). Once you get really good with the right-mouse button, the game takes on an entirely new challenge because it is now a much more realistic tactical shooter. We'll get together with RS Vegas 2 on Hamachi on Friday if we can get it to work. Jeff will be here and it will be the only day until the following Friday that I can play (final exams start Monday) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
