I wonder if it is worth the effort, but I pruned the last part of the thread a bit. Disappointing to see otherwise bright individuals getting trigger happy and confrontational when certain subjects come up. Lets see if we can do it without the personal insults?

Bioware is part of the EA family now. You guys keep forgetting that it's all a question of what LA wants to do with their IP, not what developers around the world would like to do with it. LA wants maximum return of investment. I think most people guessed a few years ago where it was headed, when Bioware had established a MMO studio in Austin (2006) and a joint domain name featuring Bioware and LucasArts was registered (2007). I don't think they want something that would detract players from paying monthly subscription fees, it wouldn't make sense Maybe after it has established itself and found it's level of activity, spin off games might be considered.

That was my experiences with replacing the cooling on an ATI 4970x2 too. Just make sure you keep track of all those darn little screws and have some thermal paste handy before starting I cheated a bit and read the instruction pamphlet that came with the cooling though.

I think he meant the OCR software Most scanners come with some bundled OCR software. Do you already have a scanner? Try google for free ocr software.

In my experience, yes. You are more likely to have issues with newer gfx cards and/or vista, which you would probably also have in 32 bit versions, than you are with the 64 bit architecture. The only exception is if you try to run software so old that it is 16/32 bit hybrid products. No 16 bit windows support if I understood it correctly (when digging around for reasons that my Moo2 installer didn't work).

You don't say

This thread is getting a bit long... Continued here (with copies of the last couple of posts).

Start of old thread End of old thread My pike is bigger than yours Just to avoid disappointing the discussing gentlemen, the end of last thread. Not sure if it leads anywhere, but worth a try I suppose.

Europa Universalis III Because it is the only rts that I like.

...and he is serious about it too The gaming industry needs more CEO's like that

If you didn't already, then you are going to need x64 Windows (or whatever OS) now

Are you a troll/bot? The latter I think. Skynet in the making.

The Doors - The End This is the end, Beautiful friend This is the end, My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end End of thread...

I think the biggest problem is to sell these projects to people. There are no tangible benefits in such projects, so it lacks the "no holds barred" monetary backing to make quantum leaps. People can see the immediate benefits of smaller, energy friendly cars, faster computers and crops that are resistant to pests, so that is where the research money goes.

It's an oxymoron. Translation: An action game for people who would like to think they play strategy games Not the best, but the first Star Wars game I ever played:

Claiming it to be impossible doesn't stop the guys from the University of Vienna from actually doing it in real, practical tests

Well, yes, because you have been arguing that the laws of physics might prevent us sorting out what are effectively logistical issues. The Europeans are already doing experiments with FTL communication. If you can transmit info faster than light, then it isn't impossible to imagine FTL travel

Never underestimate the power of genetic engineering. Just select "wings" from the add-on menu

If the third one is "just" an old game with a user mod and sold through their own online distribution, there isn't exactly a lot of cost involved As for the rest, loving both EUIII and Victoria, all I can say is

Lords of Midnight I prefer the Commodore 64 version over the ZX Spectrum version

Time for a short break... thread continued here

Start of old thread End of old thread And because people were posting a lot of links towards the end of the old thread: Got link?

For what it's worth, I've tried Dead Space, Painkiller, all Infinity Engine games, the last 3 Tomb Raider games, Jagged Allliance 2, Europa Universalis III, NWN2, The Witcher, VMBL, Kotor1 & 2, Pirates!, MS Flight Simulator X, X3, BF1942 and a handful of titles that I can't remember without problems on 64 bit quad core architecture. Only issues were gfx related and could be fixed in the ATI control panel I still have a handful of "very" old games that needs testing. Moo2 didn't work. I am not sure that X-Com 3, Carmageddon and X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter will work, still have to try those. In short, I think people attribute mystical destructive powers to 64 bit

Which is really the core of the issue, isn't it? I am not a MMO player and would have loved to play a continuation of the story, but the realist in me arrived at the conclusion, at the very latest when it became known that LA had laid off their in-house Kotor3 staff, that it was unlikely to ever happen. It is Ok to want something badly, but life can be cruel sometimes and we don't always get what we want, even if it doesn't seem to make much sense from the information available.
