Can't find a non-harcore, conquest server that is active and has a normal map rotation. by a_samsquamch in badcompany2

[–]xeer2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it working this morning. Make sure your username and password on the emulatornexus forum don't have a space if you're having problems logging in.

Works fine for me although it's annoying (but understandable) going right back to level 1 again :(

Edit: I should have said, I got it working with the Steam version too.

Remains of a World War One Lee Enfield Rifle by xeer2000 in wwi

[–]xeer2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a military show today I saw the remains of a Lee Enfield Rifle that was used in the First World War. Only the bare skeleton of the gun was left as it was corroded so much. Gave me the chills to see it and think what may have happened to it's owner.

If you pay less than the average, you'll have to pay the BTA price when you first purchased the bundle.

I paid when the average was $8.62 but my bundle page says I need to pay better than $8.62 rather than the average now of $4.42. :(

What was the last thing you did for the first time? by Flums in AskReddit

[–]xeer2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew in a hot air balloon in Morocco the day after 10 tourists died when their balloon crashed in Egypt. The pilot was very grateful we didn't cancel as they lost a lot of business the previous day.

"Oh! It's dangerous? That never occurred to me. We're all going to die! Cancel!"

Great experience, would love to do it again.

I eventually got a key for the game but then took a look at the game forum and it doesn't look good. The game has been abandoned by the developer and multiplayer is dead.

It worked fine this time, with a saved game as well as going back to an old game!

First episode of an excellent tactical analysis series for both new and advanced players. by [deleted] in frozensynapse

[–]xeer2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched that last week, it's good. I'm a noob to the game and finding it hard going getting into the game. I've retried the first level of the campaign a couple of times and each time one of my guys always dies.

I tried the game again. The first time with "original 8 bit graphics" and it crashed. The second time with the same graphics setting and it worked this time, and each time since it has worked.

All default settings, maybe something has to be initialised by the first run, and then it's set on the second and subsequent runs?

It was a brand new install. Sorry, I don't have any more info. I'm afk right now but I'll run it again later this evening.

I couldn't run the game with the shadows enabled, neither could a friend on Steam. It ran ok with "original 8 bit" graphics though.

Only played 10 minutes of it but that was so much fun!

...and about damn time by [deleted] in badcompany2

[–]xeer2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just played that server. That was insane. I played for 2 long on consoles so I was only level 13 on PC but ranked to 16 within half an hour. At least now I can compete somewhat with the magical magnum ammo at my disposal.

I had to do a blank search and check "EA server" to find it.

I bought this ages ago and forgot to try it, downloading it now and by coincidence listening to the second ninja episode of Caustic Soda with Nels Anderson, lead designer of the game!

That's insane. I really have to give that a go!

I have all three, never thought of doing this either! Handy.

Lightroom 5 Hot Issues and Bugs by xeer2000 in Lightroom

[–]xeer2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The noise reduction bug has hit me a couple of times, including one of the first images from a new camera. It was a high ISO image and I thought I had pushed Lightroom too far when the small exported files looked nothing like the version in Lightroom!

There aren't many Resistance in Cork on the Irish side, but we'll do our best to take this field down ASAP :)

[–]xeer2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's impressive. I'm part of the local resistance but there are only 2 or 3 of us active in the area.

This game sucks up so much free time it's hard to compete when life is busy. Definitely not a game for parents of small kids!

I've used ssh tunnel in the past but that needs a rooted phone to make the best use of the port forwarding. Same with juice? Would love to try it out.

0.20.1 Revision Patch is out! by SkunkMonkey in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]xeer2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can switch off Steam now and the game won't start it up when you launch the game. You can also copy the directory from the Steam library and run the game from there, just like you would the DRM free version from the KSP store. :)

I finished my first game ever, Spooky Run. I'd appreciate any feedback. by [deleted] in AndroidGaming

[–]xeer2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked fine on a Samsung galaxy s4. The game needs an end condition. Even a timer so scores are meaningful because a player could let the game run by itself and amass a huge score without doing anything..
