Being Australian, you should know to add one to the date for just about all releases in America ;)

Unofficially, you need at least 2GB. Most of the benefits from 64-bit computing come when you have the extra RAM. Remember, 32-bit Windows will only see about 3.25GB of RAM (the rest is secretly used behind the scenes). Also, many developers tend to expect more system resources for 64-bit operating systems (i.e. som eSystem Requirement pages say that you need 1GB of RAM, but you need 2GB of RAM for 64-bit). I think this is because games are still 32bit apps, and have to be emulated on Windows 64-bit. More info on the emulator here. If you're concerned about having a dual-core CPU, don't worry, as 32-bit Windows will see and use both cores. The main difference is that 32bit Windows will put ~ 50% of programs on one core, and 50% on the other. If you run Windows 64-bit most of your programs (and games) are still 32bit, so you don't get much benefit, as it works in the same way. The biggest benefit comes when you run 64-bit programs on 64-bit Windows, as the program can run on more than one core at the same time. Video editing programs, for example, are much better if they are 64-bit (even better if they support nVidia CUDA for making use of the GPU as well). /technical lesson

Because it was a secret :nuts: Which Lee spoiled :fp: :) If you were in the chatbox you would've heard the others talking about a trip to the moon instead of London. If Diablo has news that he is allowed to share he might make a new post tomorrow.

+1 for Windows 7. Home Premium would probably do you fine. If you're thinking of upgrading to 4GB of RAM then get the 64bit version, otherwise just grab the 32bit version (no price dif), Retail versions (the most expensive type) come with discs for both x86 and x64. If you find a store that sells OEM versions of Windows 7 Home Premium, you should find it pretty cheap. Retail shops usually don't have them, they're mainly found at computer specialist shops. OEM versions are cheaper because they are tied to the computer you install it on. If you sell or throw away your PC, Windows goes with it, and you have to buy it again for the next PC you get. Retail is more expensive, but you can use it on more than one computer (not at the same time, only if you sell or dispose your PC and remove Windows from it). In order to buy OEM some shops enforce the rule that you must buy hardware in the same transaction - most of these are happy for you to get an el'cheapo keyboard, mouse, set of speakers, USB stick, etc to qualify (even though what Microsoft means is that you're supposed to buy a whole computer (or the parts)).

You realise everyone paid there own way there? It was a near-last minute thing as well, and the $1400 return airfare was a bit steep. Nice to Mellors got back safe, but I haven't seen any of the other staff post here yet (haven't checked the CB). Glad you [will insert here later] the game so much, Mellors.

He's talking about TDUCk staff being @ Eden in case anyone thinks there's a new TDU2 website

wow, nice one.

The first demo I was going to make use of in years isn't on PC - that basically reinforces that Criterion treat PC users as second-class gamers, so the odds of me buying it for PC have gone back down from 75% to 45%. The only reason I'd get buy it would have to be if most of my friends got it.

Besides myself and others who have done similar (remaking actual TG reviews), no, although we have discussed similar ideas to yours but decided to wait for TDU2. I can recommend someone as the Stig (starts with D) but won't say who here in case you want to keep their identitiy a secret (besides those from the old Euro forums who know exactly who I'm talking about) :)

Let's hope the development team are as good as the marketing team :nuts:

Wow, Leadfoot beat me here. Thanks for the kudos Scoob. In my experience, the best camera cars are either: 1) The same car as the one being filmed (so the engine noise is the same) 2) A fast car with auto transmission with the sound file removed (so you don't hear your own engine. Scripts are a multi-person affair. One person comes up with an idea and posts it. Each writer then goes away and expands on it privately, and then everyone comes back in a day or two to collaborate and pick the best ideas. Google Docs is a good place for doing this. People who are filming should have near identical setups (i.e. should all be able to film at the same resolution, same FPS, using the same software (i.e. Fraps), and be competent at video editing. You're best just having one or two cameramen at the most. It just means you have to do each shot one at a time. It takes a little bit longer, but the quality is better and more consistent. You also don't have to upload/download loads of pre-edited film. If you're filming a timed SIARPC lap, film each corner one thing at a time, and then once you've filmed everything get them to do their own flying lap (not filmed) with the stopwatch out. I can help out in any role but won't dedicate myself to anything just yet since I'm shorter on time nowadays compared to when Leadfoot and I made all those SFCPD moves a few years ago. I still have one that I haven't finished from earlier this year. I'm happy to be an admin if you require further help/experience. If you've got any ideas, write them down somewhere. I've got a bunch of online hidden stuff for writing and devloping ideas, so if you prefer not to bother creating your own stuff, you're welcome to join that site. Leadfoot willing, you might wish to become part of 'Speed Car Productions' and we'll work on it together.

Haven't you heard of it? http://www.3m.com.au/intl/au/Brands/command/

What about those 3M things that hold up massive weights without marking the wall?

It looks like he linked to an attachment in his online email account - which is why it won't work

14 cookies left :D

I was talking to Syndycate :lol:

There appears to be 4 groups of testers: 1 - Devs/Eden staff - can test at any time when the servers are up (educated guess) 2 - Focus testers - are able to test on most weekdays during business hours (GMT) 3 - Normal Beta testers - Most Saturdays 4 - Stress Testers (all the people who got codes this week) - Whenever Eden wants to put massive load on their servers to test their networking code and infrastructure.

There might be more stress tests in future, but if you don't have a code let me know and I'll PM yours to you. It won't grant you any gameplay until another stress test is setup (which we've heard nothing of yet).

What he said :D I'm happy to test it as well.

I was referring to your signature :cheeky: The game is open to everyone now. Each person can post no more than one discovery though - and you'll win pretend chocolate-chip cookies :D

The TDU2 BETA stress test is NOW UP AND RUNNING for those who have codes (which should be everyone)

I suppose it's worth mentioning the the TDU2 BETA Stress Test is NOW UP AND RUNNING. Approximately 2 hours 30 mins left

whatever your name is

If you wanna show off find all 25 and PM me the list :D Congrats and welcome Jopeter

Nah, my life is too choca-block to complete a game in one sitting. No-one rents PC games anymore due to the piracy that almost always occurs
