the dll thing is saying something along the lines of: ______.dll could not initialize because windows is shutting down. This is normal... any program that attempts to load after you have told the pc to shut down will do this. Here is your solution: http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic...l=visual+themes

On your screen, everything is local and in real time. You do not see your location and weapons after you have sent them to the server and it sends it back, you simply see it as though it were a single player game.

That's easy to fix: ?nopubchat or ?lines=0

is it wireless?

Everyone lags to some degree. If it isn't stopping you from playing, don't worry about it.

Negative packetloss happens when your packets are being received out of order, timewise. You send data to the server as a series of packets, each packet has a time stamp which tells the receiving service (either the server or the client, depending on which originally sent it) when the packet was sent. So your client sends a packet to the server, it doesn't wait for the server to receive and confirm it, it just sends the next packet as though the previous had been received as normal. So the first packet goes through the internet along a different path than the second packet. assume that the first packet is taking a longer route to the server than the second. The client has not yet received confirmation of the server recieving the first packet, so it decides to send it again. This second packet goes along the path of the second of the original 2 packets. Eventually the server receives all 3 packets. In the client's eyes, it sent 3 packets when only 2 were needed in the server's eyes, so technically it's not LOSING packets, its actually gaining them along the way. In this example, you would experience -50% packetloss. But chances are that your packets are being received out of order, so the server can't really use them as efficiently or possibly as accurately and you may experience lag if the difference is large.

At the game's main menu, hit: control A to access the Advance Options. Make sure you have ONLY 'no framerate limit' and 'avoid page flipping' checked ON. If you are currently using this configuration, then try turning those option off, one at a time. If that fails: update your video card drivers from the manufacturer's web site update directX from www.microsoft.com

Unknown bugs are few and far between, nowadays. If it truly turns out to be a bug, then it will get moved to the proper place, and the proper people will be notified. But for now, you will get a larger, more qualified and active audience here, in tech support. That being said, lets start with the basics: latest drivers and directX unistall/re-install continuum (possibly choosing a different directory name) also check access priviledges/permission for the game directory and .dat files in the root of the game dir.

When you right click the shortcut to an application, and choose 'properties' then 'compatibility,' you have an option to "disable visual themes.'

Right click the game's directory (C:\Program Files\Continuum) and click 'properties'. Click the checkbox next to 'read-only' a couple times until it goes on/off at least once. Leave it UN-CHECKED.

It's a permissions issue? Your user may not have access to write to certain resources (total guess.) But on the other hand, I have seen Continuum run in a 'read-only' directory and the only problems were that it wouldn't remember macro settings or passwords (if told to save) etc. because it can't rewrite profile.dat macros.dat etc.

Try http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Update drivers and DirectX.

Many of the antivirus programs use "heuristic" methods of "intelligently" detecting new viruii as they are released on the public. If they use similar methods, looking for the same, or similar attributes in an application (such as network access or certain types of compression, whatever) they CAN mistake SS/Continuum as a virus.

Actually, it's been occuring for years. The most common solution is to turn off your antivirus or firewall software because many of the freeware apps will cause this. You may also wish to right click the shortcut to the game and try some of the different "compatibility" modes.

At the game main menu, go to options, then go to the graphics tab. Set color depth to 8 (bit). If that doesn't work, try these: update directX get older drivers run a 2d benchmark test to see if it is broken or working properly

Multiple ports. What's the problem?

get new drivers

Disable antivirus and popup blockers.

Explain in detail the error message or problems you are having... "it wont work" is too broad of a statement to begin troubleshooting.

Solution/Fix has been given... Closing topic.

Technically, this is not a bug in continuum, it is a flaw in the Anti-virus app you are using.
