Now you know.

It will ask you to approve a certificate, so be warned, but I've been using this for a bit, and it's going fine for me.

forgot all about this, but it'd be better posted in the PC section of Games.

True, though it could go either way, since it's a tech question. I'll post it there tomorrow.

Sticky it while you're at it, Drak. I keep forgetting apps like that exist.

it just told me i couldn't run Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich, yet i've had the game installed for ages and play it quite often

Does it push your system a lot or do you have to turn down the display settings to play it? Maybe it's looking for whether your system can run it at optimum settings...

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

nope runs fine, very little problems

Hmm. Weird. Sometimes games run okay but are doing slight damage to your hardware over time. I'm actually getting a new video card now because I'm pretty sure pushing my old one too hard playing Fallout 3 burned something out--but I played F3 for a good month or so before it actually conked out on me.

You could also add it to the free software FAQ made by another user. It's a nifty site, great way to benchmark your unit.

I'm switching to the 216-core GeForce GTX 260. I may get another one to run in SLI later on, since the 260 is already fairly cheap (about $200) but still nearly top-of-the-line.
