We tried this last year at the exact same time didn't we? Continuum has no chance, now that half the month is gone, to beat whichever game is in 1st place >.> But that's my 2 cents, still worth the vote though.

When your computer is booting, press F8, which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu". Select SafeMode with Networking. If the problem occurs, it pins it down to this: Internet Connection (which you said happened both online, offline, and on a different network so it doesn't apply) Other apps and processes running in the background. Bad graphics card (e.g. Nvidia) Safe mode will disable a lot of processes and graphics used by your system, if it does indeed load faster, it could indicate one of the above. And yes, I'll mention again #3 because I also run Windows Vista x32, but with ATI and have never had a single problem: Spoiler! --Click here to view--Edit: Candygirl beat me to the F8

Actually, I've used windows 98SE for the longest time, and even I don't get that problem still today. I've probably had more problems with XP and Vista than 98

I would still like to know if Continuum runs and loads faster in safe mode. (this can help narrow it down to 2 possible causes) And Shadows, what's your graphics card, is it also Nvidia?

To be honest, there's no possible way to properly control your fps. However: View -> Advanced Options -> No framerate limit (uncheck this) This will freeze your framerate limit at roughly ~60. If you're running in windowed mode, framerate limit is ignored. If you have software emulation on (in advanced options), this will also ignore framerate limits. [so make sure you're running Continuum in full screen, and don't have 'Software emulation' or 'No framerate limit' checked in your advanced options]

Didn't Spyed beat him by 50 years? At any rate, happy birthday TRP

Sad to see you go also Syrus; drop by Deva again sometime

I'm not asking you to constantly boot your computer in safe mode I was rather asking does Continuum load faster in safe mode? And you should probably try "disable desktop composition" (this disables Vista specifics). Also, are you running 0.40? And is Continuum set to the same resolution and color bit as your desktop? Else, I'm pretty sure it must be a driver issue, since I also run Windows Vista x32, but everything runs perfectly normal (I have ATI, not Nvidia).

Google search gave me this link to a user using WoW. He basically lists the same symptoms as you, but I don't think he ever found a solution. You might want to check it out for suggestions though. What you failed to mention is, are you running Vista x32 or x64*? Does the problem occur in both full screen and windowed mode? Have you tried running in safemode to see if the problem still occurs? Have you tried running it under compatibility mode (for XP)? Have you tried "disable desktop composition" (right click, properties, compatibility)? *I strongly believe this is a problem with the Nvidia driver on the Vista x64 system. In which case, I would recommend that you get a new driver, contact their tech support, or that you put up with the lag.

Pff, you're all labeled.

Yah, I think most people missed the part that said "bye" and failed to read the first post of the thread entirely. The ban was disputed, and was resolved. Though JDS isn't actually quitting anymore, so it does invite the topic to be trashed. What I will agree is that JDS could've taken a ticket, and not make a big scene. What I won't agree with is that he asked for people's opinion on the general matter, not his own ban. JDS plays the game probably more than anyone else who disputes him (still) does. I would like someone to point out what spam he has written before he was accused of it (1st-2nd page). Had he originally posted in the spam forum, people would've just said "!@#$%^&* SSC" or "JDS had it coming" and laugh at everything and no one would take things seriously. I argued the private chat matter in this thread, and I will stand by the older rules SSC followed before MTN rewrote them, unless better rules are imposed to stop loop holes.

hi JDS

Needless to know, as the problem was resolved (maybe that's what he meant by pinned).

I'm going to assume you're running windows XP, 1. Have you tried uninstalling Continuum and reinstalling it? 2. Have you tried rebooting your computer? Also: Please disable all known antiviruses, and do not run any other programs in the background (some programs or games launched before Continuum could prevent Continuum from loading, most notably games which use GameGuard or the such) I could also be a problem with your registry. Try running a registry cleaner.

Because: I just used the VIE poster [edited] + some NASA image in the background. I posted it in the media forum though. The only difference is that I added a moon on my version above, which is my own work.

My current desktop:

Well, I don't know about the rest, but my vote for #3 was legit. I just prefer darker, less obstructive backgrounds ; that, and it's the perfect resolution to for my windows 98 computer downstairs . #1 is really nice though, and deserves to win, but as a desktop background it's not that great; and #2 isn't any better.

I don't think we can dew dew without JDewd

lol! Good eye

Oh come on, you forgot the most important one of all: Best speccer

Wasn't even a week yet, let alone 5 days

If you do though, you're screwed terribly. Driving without insurance is illegal, so you just shouldn't do it. What would happen in a case where you hit someone or got hit? That's worse than just getting stopped.
