Why can't games just work Playstation style out of the box instead of all this hassle

[Twinky]

Took this from VN boards worked like a charm for me to stop me from going ld after releasing

ANYONE WITH A NFORCE MOTHERBOARD THAT USES NVIDIAS ONBOARD ETHERNET WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM!

To fix this problem go to your device manager, seen here:

Right click Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller, choose propterties.

Then change Checksum Offload to DISABLE in the advanced tab seen here:

dunno, but worked for me on ld etc

I am still missing this file from the critical.log though Effects/rnbwtriswirl_hit.nif.

Illu, I have just checked my files, and I dont have that file on my pc.

I am running the Catacombs client too.

One thing you could try, is to copy rnbwscint_hit.NIF and rename it to rnbwtriswirl_hit.nif. Im not sure what effect triswirl is, but I dont have it so it cant be that important! I think its worth a try. Do this before you run the patcher, and then check after your in game, to make sure the file still exists.

:> Oh for a computer that is stable

Your problem is not with DAOC, its with gamecam. Are you recording to the same harddrive as you are playing from?

I think the problem is very much possibly a gamecam issue maybe with the Asus nforce2 motherboard. There is a new version of gamecam coming out real soon and also new releases of DAOC (1.78) due soon, so this might "ease" my problem.....

dunno, but worked for me on ld etc

Thanks for the reply Twinky, I tried that suggestion, but I think my Mobo has 2 Ethernet ports. I upgraded the drivers for the Marvell one (which is the one with the properties where you can disable that checksum thing - but I don't seem to use that port anyway. I will try and swap the cable from the port I am in to the marvell one and see if it makes any difference)

One day some I.T. genius will work out what this problem is :>

The quest continues......

AT LAST!!

This version of the game v.1.78 + new version of Gamecam v1.3.0.2

Whooooooooooooooop

Thanks for all who looked at this post and tried to help. Looks like it was mainly down to Gamecam.

you think daoc is bad?
i remember the days of doom,quake, unreal, tthey were freakin awful, first they would scroll past every goddam line of code as they loaded and just randomnly fail , lock whole pc, or just blank screen, you'd have to type all kinds of crap in dos to get them to even think about loading, cos i remember those days i'm always amazed, when daoc just loads and runs without kicking out endless hexadecimal error codes

true i remember the days of using memory managers to try an optimise the first 640k of memory so that bloody wing commander would run....

ive heard that W is a useless fact, its Ohm that matters. atleast for sound measurements.
