Me and young nashboy have just spent one and a half ballsing hours attempting to play Operation Flashpoint online against each other.
All we wanted was to have a nice little co-op game with just us, no one else, nothing too complicated. It should be like phoning someone up and talking to them.
Was it hell.
First, we have different editions of the same game. Why are there different editions of the sme exact game you ask me? Who bloody knows is my answer. We just wanted to play the original Op Flash but NOOOO the stupid GOTY edition wouldn't let us. It kept crashing.
So I installed all the add ons and everything, but could we play? Take a wild guess. We needed to patch up to the same version.
But could we do that? Did the patches work?
No
Is there any way to solve this problem?
No
Are we extremely ballsed off?
Yes
why can't things be simple?
This is why I hate online gaming with all my cold, cold heart.
And don't tell me that Live is easier because I know that it isn't.
Why does everything have to be so damn hard nowadays?

The topic title should read "Why is Windows so crap?".
why where's you both fully patched up beforehand? did you not realise that you were playing a pc game?
I remeber trying to get dos games to work. In a lot of cases the three + hours trying to squeeze the best performance out of the title were more fun than the title itself.
sadest momeny was going to bios to get another couple of frames a second out of Doom, on a 486 25 Mhz.

I remember buying a 486DX66 processor so I could play Doom in "hi-res".

Bwhahahha. Trade descriptions act. It's either "320x240, and so blocky you can't tell whats happening, or true 320x240" :)
Happy days..........
As a side note, even if a title plays perfectly well in 1024 x 768, I'll still run it in 800 x 600 cause I preferto see pixels.
Weird I know.
