Yeah I am running Vista Business 32bit Shame really as it its not *as* smooth in Software Emulation mode, but yes as stated in previous post, Software Emulation does cure the problem to a certain extent. Things flicker a bit more in software emulation mode and its not perfect, then again, its better than 10-18fps. Hope this can be something that can be looked into, I don't understand the complexity of the problem to know whether its an easy fix or not. But for now, I will struggle on with software emulation. Cheers

Hey hey, Using a Lenovo X301 with Integrated Intel 4500HD graphics. Latest drivers, latest directx, Profile resolution set, refreshs et , etc etc, FPS is ok on an area with no action and no tiles, then instantly drops to very jerky when theres other ships/tiles etc. Software Emulation fixes the problem, but I was wondering more about the cause and if it can be avoided/fixed. I know the 4500HD is crap, but I'd have atleast thought it could pull 1440x900 (res of display) at 60fps quite comfortably. Any ideas ?

Here's one, that shouldn't be that hard to do, Can you add a minimise to tray function ? That'd be cool for me, and maybe others I guess, to tuck it in the tray and give me valuable taskbar space back !

the laptop doesn't like you ?

Im here, and think its a good idea, will p!@#$%^&* it on to the relevant people

StrikeForce has been around since 1999, and most of us are active(ish) :-) http://sfss.org/StrikeForce/members_&_alumi.htm

lol a southpark moment. I miss StarWars being populated with enough people to have the type of flagging game I like back when it was RiSC or SFSS it always had enough pop, and also so did SWR, which was fun and roughly similar settings, can't find any populated zone anymore with flagging that I really like, only EG comes close, and its nothing like it used to be oh well

well there's a !@#$%^&* of a lot of packet loss on some of the hops. Also Bezeqint from what I remember is an Israeli ISP, so the ping to the US is probably pretty shabby as will the lag then be also. Not a lot of help on that one other than either to try a different Israeli ISP with better US routing, or move closer to the US ? yeeeehaw ! luckily for me UK is one country away from US, even so I get pings up in the 200ms area, then again if you're on DSL and you can understand what Im saying try seeing what mode your modem connects to their DSLAM (your local DSL exchange) at , if they use interleaving, try getting technical support to change it to fast-path, lower pings, but a slight loss of reliability, then again, it probably won't change things too much but its still an option to use to see if your connection will work better let me know how it goes

unless you find someone to host a SOCKS Proxy for you on a fast internet connection, then its feasable :-) put it on something fun like port and off you go :-D

wow, after you made that post I logged in to check on my UK live account and sure enough the option has been very quietly added in there. Weird man ! 10 years and they just slip it in like that. Finally !

Religion, no religion, ethnicity, sexuality, its all just a reason for people who naturally want to have enemies to make them. We should all just get along really shouldn't we ? I mean thats the bottom line when you think about it. And if christianity preaches that we should be good to each other, and 2 billion people try to follow that, I say fair enough. For the record I'm an atheist, but I'd never stand in the way of letting another person think, or be, whatever they choose from their lives. Because as long as they're happy, I'm happy Peace

cool banana :-)

Anyone planning to update the graphic on getcontinuum.com to say 0.40 instead of 0.39pr1 ? 90% of people who go there will probably just download it anyway and get the 0.40 but 10% of people might not, thinking they need 0.40 and not actually realising that the button does indeed go to 0.40 download Ta

root, you'll get there one day :-) Im miss Subi-cide as well was fun fun zone !

The best thing for new players would be having a tutorial zone. Call it TUTORIAL ZONE or something super creative like that, and have it on the default zone list. A fun to play tutorial gauntlet could be made covering all the basics and more advanced stuff. Lots of colorful lvz and AI bots too! And at the end of the lesson have a banner for each zone with a short description. I really like that idea :-)

sounds like you're doing good work and you're right, I never actually !@#$%^&*umed there'd be other groups but on looking there are quite prosperous ones Interesting, then again the more groups the more chances that it'll capture newer audiences Another point of interest, if anyone actually has the time, is to have a much easier "Getting Started" guide, like your quick 5 page guide to being a pro and taking you from downloading to the end of your first flagging game, inbetween choosing ships, setting options, different chat commands, etc, all in plain english, so that everyone and anyone can at least have a fair hand at attempting to play it so far the getting started guides I've seen either don't go far enough into the explanation or are slightly disjointed, anyway thats just my 2cents.

simplest and most effective way of getting subspace known again through a generation that might play it is via facebook and myspace. those are the mediums that people who are online a lot these days come online through, start facebook and myspace groups, share amongst your friends, if everyone here on SSForum joined up on facebook and created a group and all added their friends, it'd grow to at least 10,000+, if they added their friends, etc etc simple idea, but effective, and wouldn't take that much effort for those of you that arent on all that jazz :-) for anyone who's interested, this is the link to the facebook group I've started : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5198877335
