I just upgraded from 98se to XP and Im having trouble playing the game. Every 2 minutes, the game freezez for about 10 seconds under 2000 compatibility mode, and no compatibility mode. Under 95 and 98 compatibility mode, the game freezez in the middle of loading the map. In NT compatibility mode, the game fails to regicnize my cd rom thus not letting the game start.

I do windows xp updates, i have dx9.0a, latest sound card drivers, and v43.51 detonator drivers(latest). I hate the latest drivers. I have the latest drivers. I have the latest drivers (sry i had to repeat cuz sometimes people dont understand that I have the latest drivers)

OH and no programs in the backround are running whatsoever. Not a single one. volume control is the only icon. I turned off the auto update checker also.

Any fix for any of these compatibility modes would be much appriciated. The game used to run flawlessly under 98se.
 
oops I didnt mean to say I hate the latest drivers. I meant, I *have the latest drivers. cuz I do have them!

    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?

    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:

  • The Helper The Helper:

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
