Yes, I will miss F-A too... Egidio.

Yes, 1 month each for cs:s and hl2 for me: I don't know why but my son downloaded the cs:s in 5 minutes when I paid with my credit card for him???? When dod:s was in pre-loading, I go it in 15 minutes because I was the first who have reseted my old pc few minutes after midnight here (yes, again a pc crash) and Steam displayed a post that dod:s is in pre-loading and when launched the download, I informed all the TAC Members and some french friends from France that dod:s was in pre-loading... My son downloaded dod:s the next day in 5 minutes only???? Strange isn't it? But I think with the new mobo, this will take few minutes like my son (A7N8X) and his high school friend who have the same mobo like my new one (A7V8X-X)... Egidio.

Thank you Gator, will try it soon with my new customed computer the next week-end if all will be alright... Egidio.

I have already formated in 05-2005 for reinstall all but the problems not changed under cs:s and it take 1 month for redownload all the hl & hl2 mods... If I uninstall Steam and reinstall it, this will take again 1 month for redownload all mods by Steam... Yesterday, I purchased the 1 GB. in 2 Kingstone rams pc3200/512MB. each and a 80GB. hd Maxtor and I have already a second 120GB. hd Maxtor for the new mobo and Tuesday, I will purchase the Plextor dvd reader & the Plextor dvd writer in double layer both with black front for the black Thermaltake tower and the new pc will be assembled and running for the next Wenesday or Thursday if all will be alright! When all will be done, I will reformat the old pc (A7V133) and I will put in only utilities and for to use it for to recover lost datas, make backup on crashed hd, etc... Because it have 4 IDE connectors and I have 5 hd Maxtor connected & 1 cd reader, 1 Plextor dvd reader, 1 Plextor cd writer and 1 Plextor dvd writer in single layer when I disconned a hd for to use the dvd writer... New pc: MB Asus A7V8X-X, cpu AMD Athlon xp 2600+, 1 GB. ram, fx5990 128MB. (from my son), Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (from my son) [or the onboard sound chip], C:\ =hd 80GB., D:\ =hd 120GB., black dvd reader Plextor, black dvd writer Plextor, black floppy 3"1/2, cpu fan cooler Thermaltake Volcano 7, black Thermaltake XaserII lightning tower (from my son too). My son (Psy4) purchased a new black Thermaltake tower named Kandalf, a new Sound Blaster AudigyII and a new video card fx6800 Ultra 256MB (<-- 600€ only the vc!).... He have a nice computer: a monster! If enough money, I will change the Sound Blaster Live 5.1 by a 7.1 or a Sound Blaster AudigyII or Audigy3 or Audigy4... Egidio.

For to use 2 times my credit card on Steam, I do to go on their website for to write to active a second time my card for to "offer" a silver pack to my son because he was under 18 and only me have a credit card in my family: they deblocked my card for to can make the gift to my son else nada but this will take 1 to 3 month and I used my second credit card for that he have his silver pack immediatly, you can only use only one time the same credit card or use another like you typed with your mommy! Egidio.

Yesterday for you and in the morning for me (10:30 am CE), I was the last player on the TAC FA server when it have been closed or shutdown for ever! Thank you for the last guys who played with me before they gone at midnight! Egidio.

Electricity bill or energy bill will be higher too! Egidio.

I think you can play dod:s without hl2 because some can play cs:s without hl2... Egidio.

The sepcs are in the first post upper... Rams are 2 * 512 MB. Apacer pc133. Egidio.

My son can snipe the sniper with the garand and with only 1 bullet? Egidio.

I found this: GCFSCAPE This "GCFSCAPE", it's a program who can extract the files from any .gcf compressed Steam files like dod:s .gcf and cs:s .gcf.... I extracted all the folders & files missing in my game(s) folders for to complete it: I will take you informed of the next tests... Egidio;

I thought the problem become from the bus at 133 mhz. most of mobo are in 333 and 400 mhz. My agp is a 4X with a vidéo card 8X, perhaps the problem become also from the agp who is so slow??? Egidio.

Impossible to play dod:s : map differs from the server! Same problems remain like on cs:s but only 4 run byside the 16 officials???? Here, on dod:s, no one run on the 4 officials ???? Do not ask me to "deleter" it for that Steam will reload it, there are not in the "maps" folder from dod:s! Perhaps my pc is old now, 5 years old, or Steam crash onto this old pc : mobo A7V-133, Athlon xp 2000+, Asus fx 5700LE, 1 GB. of ram, Sound Blaster Live 5.1 what need more? I have the A7V8X-X who missing only 1 GB. of ram and a HD for to run it soon... Egidio.

I see also if you have firewall turned on, it crash the game because there is a conflict! Egidio.

I have the old Sidewinder forcefeedback V1.0 (connected to the sound card) from microsoft and auto detected/configured by winp: most easy for to fly, I make 4 hours training in heli when the bf2 server was emty yesterday... And my son purchased the 3D Logitech forcefeedback in USB... Egidio.

They launch a car with c4? The car who hit the heli? It's Fun! Egidio.

ROFL! Expecialty when the men run to the guy crying: "Mine, mine, mine" and the end of the run... And the subtitles.... <--- You need the same subtitles for to understand me when I speak with all of you... Egidio.

I already played sometime The trenchies, fun game too... Egidio.
