No idea what it means lol. But i got BF2Deluxe and when i installed it it wouldn't work. So I learned it was a video card problem, mine was well below the requirements. So my brother got a new one and let me have his old one, which allowed BF to run. I got really excited, and started it up. I got right to the tutorial, because I forgot how to play, and it was really laggy. I didn't mind. But when I started it up again, it loaded and boom, just quit, and i had to reboot my computer. I'm at the log in screen, and it has the sign saying Problem, with no description. So i click troubleshooting, which doesn't help. And because I don't know what it does, I need any advice with what's wrong... please.

Troubleshooting -> Locating (and possibly solving) problems, usually with some extensive testing.
That's all I can help you with though, but a rough guess is that the card is still too weak or it has an old driver. I'd suggest going to the manufacturer's site and downloading the newest before anything else.

Oh crap...
I just realized this should go to gaming tech...
Oh well.
Thanks for that, though i figured. It's just when i read the thing it doesn't help, it's full of words I don't understand, but really, I'm not surprised because I'm not a computer geek, far from it. I barely know what drivers mean lol.
Thanks for that, I would rep you if I could lol, which is why I think that the rep system should be changed. Just because people are newbs doesn't mean they're n00bs.
Once again thanks.

Really sorry for the double post...:(

When I play a game in BF2, I play ranked to get stuff. I just started a few days ago. But I got Basic Spec Ops medal, Purple Heart medal, and Airborne Ribbon, and when I go to BFHQ I don't see any medals, ribbons, exp for next rank promo, or any lone wolf time, squad member, squad leader, commander... It's really annoying. If you know how you fix this I swear when I get rep points I'll rep you five times...when I get it...

Problem 1: Your video card is too weak.
Problem 2: You Quit the game before disconnecting frm the server. Disconnect first.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
