Win 7 and Galaxy Forge 3 in Technical Sins Forums

So i just recently installed Win 7 RC x64 and im getting horrible performance in galaxy forge of all things. Ran fine on when vista 64 was running. Anyone else having the same issue? Input, thoughts and help will be appreciated.

Thank you yrag, after i finish backing up my files, ill do a quick reboot and give ur suggestion a shot. If not, ta hell with it. Might as well save up 100-120 for the best socket 775 overclocker Gigabyte EP45 UD3R. That thing is a performs like a ferrari but at a civic price. And if i decide to crossfire my 4870, the pci-e lanes running at x8 2.0 dont bottleneck the performance. Wish i would have known prior to getting my p5e deluxe. Edit: Before i flashed to the RF v410 bios, i did

[quote]Shouldn't forget to get a second identical controller as a backup while you're at it. The main reason onboard is crappy a lot of the time is because a lot of times it is really software/driver based; another reason is if the controller goes out on a good onboard setup, you may have to replace the whole mobo (with an identical one) to get at your data. Happened to a friend of mine. Due to the age of the board, he had to pay through the nose for a replacement. The main lesson, use RAID a

Motherboard is Asus P5E Deluxe x48, ICH9R southbridge controller. The bios is flashed to the Asus Rampage formula v410 for the improved memory compatability and decreased Vdroop and Vdrop while overclocking (the two boards are exactly the same other than a 2nd lan, lcd poster, few other bells and whistles, and most importantly price). The Drive is a Western Digital 640gig SE16 AAKS sata drive. Got it OEM w/ no jumpers and havent added any. I plan on getting a 2nd AAKS for a matrix raid array

So i downloaded and burned the windows 7 RC build 7100 iso and preparing to install. Im currently running vista home premium 64bit and im about to drop kick it in the teeth (figuratively) b/c of sluggish performance with high end hardware. Im going to install and use win 7 as my primary OS from here on out and here are my questions: 1. Should i reformat my HDD for a clean install?

Well, since my previous posts regarding constant minidumps etc., it seems i have fixed the problem. I just downloaded .7 and patched from there on out. still get the crashes randomly though, but less frequent.

I primarily use a logitech G9 with the smaller grip, after market mouse feet (cant remember the brand) cuz the stock ones were bad and my mouse pad is a razer destructor. I used to use a razer diamondback 3g optical mouse but the max DPI was too low. love the G9 and its high DPI.

Reply to Which should I upgrade first? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

do urself a favor, for ~ 180-200 look into a 4870 1gb and it will last for much longer than a decent 9800gtx+ of which is in the same price range and is much slower. the 512mb 4870 is a lil bit cheaper tho. I have the 1gb 4870 from sapphire paired with a q9550 overclocked to 3.85ghz and the only game i have to turn the settings lower than max is crysis/ crysis warhead.

Reply to Need Your Opinion: Namely on CPU's in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Wirespeed is correct about a dual core @ higher clock speeds will beat a slower quad in most applications. Imo, the triple core phenoms are not the best choice, unless u get lucky and unlock the 4th core w/ phenom II (the phenom II X3's have 4 cores but with one disabled). On the otherhand, ive been kicking myself for not waiting for the X4 Phenom II's and getting a q9550 from intel. The black edition's have massive amounts of headroom for overclocking and are a great, great performance

I run a overclocked quad core at 3.85ghz and when the unit #'s reach 1000+, the fps drops to ~30. Supcom and FA where greats games although its nearly the same as Total Annihilation and its expansions from back in the day.

Reply to Geforce 9800 in Personal Computing Sins Forums

All of the answers above are correct, but ill dive deeper in the differences in both physical and performance. Ill try to not make it confusing. Let me start off with the 9800 series of graphics cards by nvidia. These are the entry level main stream cards that perform well enough for the casual and budget gamer. But some dont know this, the 9800 series cards such as the 9800 gtx contain the very same gpu die as the older 8800 series, 8800gtx as an example. The question that may rise i

Nacey, props to you and your team. This mod is fantastic. However, i would like to inform you that i am experienceing frequent minidumps on large - huge multi star maps as well as some custom maps as well. I have narrowed it down to 2 common occurances, when a game is just about done loading, being a vanilla or custom map, and the other common time is roughly 2 hours into a game. I have changed nothing in the files, and i know its not my computer's hardware by running tests and monitering tem

Another job well done Jason and to your team. Couple questions though, Any thought to adding the Sins Plus planets + planet bosus' and particle effects and volumemetric explosions? I believe it would add more flavor to a already fantastic n polished mod. If needed, i could attempt the merge. just would be a while since this is finals week for me then movin. Let me know.

Reply to Modified Cap weapon bug / problem in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Well, i fixed it. I was way to simple for me to think of it, it actually happened by mistake. It wasnt the modified autocannon, it was the front beam. I had originally changed to to WeaponType "Projectile". that for some reason didnt compute. The fix is keep it as a WeaponType "Beam" and just change the class to LASERTECH. Easy enough. Cant believe it was something so simple, no wonder i overlooked it.

Kaspersky is statistically the best AV out there. I was doing research on what AV software i was gonna use for my new gaming system, i found a credited study that found kaspersky to be the most efficient at detecting not yet "known" malware, trojans etc. i believe it was at 36% while the 2nd best was around 24%. I wish i had bookmarked that article. was very informative.

I just tried changing SyncronizedTargeting FALSE for the modified autocannon w/ gauss defense platform.

Modified Cap weapon bug / problem in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I took the kols 3rd weapon, the lasers, and changed it to a Autocannon class to benifit from research and altered the particle effects, muzzle, travel, sounds etc. to that of the Gauss defense platform. It all works fine until, for example, i send the kol to clear a planet of local militia so i can colonize. While engaging the targets, it only shoots at a givin target until its at extremely low health, 2-4%. It thinks its dead. A couple times i sent it in, went on to manage something else on

Troubleshooting Changed Cap Weapon bug in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Ive having issues when i send my modified Kol into combat, whether it be to clear local militias at planets or enemy fleets, the kol attacks and doesnt ever finish them off. It attacks the target until its down to 1-4% of its HP and then switches, essentially presuming its been destroyed. I changed the lasers to autocannon class, fires to projectiles and has the gauss defense platform muzzle, projectile and hit effects. Here is a sample of the changes: Note, this isnt the exact copy
