This weekend, you can grab the cult and legendary "The Witcher" franchise on Steam with -66% save !
The Witcher Enhanced Edition at less than $4, one of the best PC RPG, you must be a fool if you don't jump on it at this price :D
Be advised that TW-ED has a bonus novel and the OST included, you'll have to explore SteamApps folders to find them.
I'm not advertising for Steam (plus, I don't like it that much), but I just wanted to share this great offer on this epic game.
Offer ends in 27hrs from now. The franchise includes TW-ED and TW2-ED, you can buy them separately.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/20920/
In Europe it's less than 3€.

[...] Lt Caine Merit Patrol and Vapid Cruiser [...]
They are known to have the "window bug" : crash when you or AI aims at a window. Maybe that's the cause.
Anyway, when you say you reverted back, do you mean you've reinstalled the game (fresh install) and tried without ANY mods except lcpdfr ?
And something that may help troubleshooting : >G17 Media IV Diagnostics Tool
Paste report here, in "spoiler" tag.

Ou, comme je l'ai dit au-dessus, directement désactiver les touches du Trainer (sauf celles du menu) comme indiqué dans la doc FR, plutôt que carrément supprimer le Trainer ou s'embêter à trier des touches et fonctions useless.
-
- Untick "read only" on main game folder,
- Run LCPDFR installer as admin,
- Check that you have required components,
- Finish install and run the game as admin.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
- If you still have issues, use title="">Diagnostic Tool and post the report. -
As we know, XboxOne is a cheap PC with TV networks and PRISM integrated.
And we have cool pictures of it :D http://imgur.com/a/NbGau

Samsung P2370HD 23″ + Acer AL1714 17″
EDIT : so it gives me 1920x1080 + 1280x1024
I love the Samsung, not expensive but high quality monitor. My old Acer is a bit shitty now but it's enough to display documentations or other stuff while working on some projects (dual screen ftw).
Sometimes I use the monitor of my netbook and my laptop as a bonus.

I don't know what to think about this for the moment.
- Ubi is promising the entire US as a map... 17x the size of our (Ubi and me) country, I really doubt it !
- The gameplay is not, really not, like the trailer. For me it looks like a Carmageddon HD (look at collisions for example) :/
- I love Ubi but Ubi loves bugs in games too, imagine how much it can be bugged in an openworld game which is so big (if the size is true).
As I said, I love Ubi (it's french, it's a big company, and they make quite good games, plus Rayman was my first game on PS1 -but not my first game- during my childhood), but it's not because I love them that I will blindly trust all the promises.
Look Rockstar with the crappy PC GTAIV port, RDR cancelled on PC, etc... I love(d?) them but they do shit sometimes.
Anyway, conclusion : I think it's too early to have a clear opinion about this new IP. But I hope that it'll be a good game, and not a copy of the latest shitty NFS.
Sorry for my english, an entire week of E3, I'm a bit tired lol.

Try another savegame, maybe this one has cars on parking lots.
And be sure to put the savegame in C:UsersYOURNAMEDocumentsRockstar GamesGTA IVsavegames
-
It's normal, you have to use Xliveless instead of Dsound. Then you put the 100%savegame to the Rockstar folder in "My Documents".
GFWL will recognize your user id and only allow your own savegames.
-
Sure. I probably missed some cars and I still have to put lists from some other websites.
Quite busy these days + E3 + FarCry + StreetFighter lol
@everybody : If you see some missings cars from LCPDFR/GPM/GTA4MODS, give me a link I'll add it.

You just put the number.
Look at the User Guide provided by LtCaine.
PS : it's not the goal of this topic, we are here to solve common crash/perfs issues.

Thanks for the response, guys. I had a few Q's or general repsonses for you over the course of your reply DarthWound, so I thought I'd break them down.
1.) From what I Googled, you have to use the little Terminal thingy, and you use the 'yum' commands to get stuff installed. I have no idea where it's actually getting the software from. The software "finder" that Fedora comes with in my opinion is worthless. Search results of software that would peak my interest yeild nothing. YumExtender was an app I downloaded that seemed to help a little. It makes downloading software a bit easier than using the Terminal. I've grown up on .exe files and setup wizards since I was in my single digits age group, so while I have a few basic Windows Command Prompt comamnds memorized, I can't say I use the thing regularly, so coming to a distribution of Linux that relies so heavily on the terminal is a daunting task since I have to look up how to do everything on Google. Thank god it came with Firefox standard or I would have been really screwed. I've considered switching to Mint or Ubuntu since they both have app stores and are supposedly friendlier to newbies, but I'll give this one a shot for a little while.
2.) I'm using Windows 8, and while I haven't gone deeply into the HDD properties menu, I'm afraid Windows may try to format the whole drive to NTFS, thereby killing my Fedora install. Never heard of GParted before. Is it any good & what does it cost? Luckily Fedora is on a second hard drive, apart from my C:/ drive which I will unplug for safety when dealing with a re-format outside of Windows. I currently use my BIOS's boot menu (F12 key) to get into Fedora when I start up the PC. Regarding installing stuff, it's like I was saying in point #1; I never grew up using command prompts, and even if I did I don't exactly have a handbook here of the Linux YUM "language" and what it means. I'm sure with enough practice I'll have a basic understanding. The one command I have memorized so far is "su --login" to give yourself root access for certain installs. YUMExtender has helped me to install codecs for programs that support them. I did in fact download RPM fusion Free & Non-Free and that didn't help any of the media programs I had play MPEG4/AAC files. MP3's would play okay, but nothing else. Audacity and some associated plugins I found through YUMExtender did the trick though. Now I just have to learn how the program works (building a library) since it's not as intuitive as iTunes or Google Music. So far I've just been playing one track at a time since I haven't had much time to play with it.
3.) Did that (I think) didn't seem to work. But at least I have one player that does what I need. Now I'm curious about how to un-install software (my unnecessary media players), which I'll probably have to Google for. lol
4.) I've noticed some crackling of sound every now and then, especially if you play a Flash video while Audacity is playing an MPEG4/AAC file. That could be a lack of sound drivers, though. Who knows. Is "Pepper" built in or do I need to go install it using YUM somehow?
5.) Performance I'm not so concerned about since I don't plan on running games of any sort, but exactly how much energy are we talking about? I'm on a desktop so I'm not on a battery of any sort.
Thanks for your reply.
I'll try to be complete and understable, but english is not my mother-tongue and I just woke up lol, so forgive me :D
1)
First I'll try to explain about repositories. There are several repositories, or mirrors if you prefer. It's a database of packages on a server. Packages are compiled softwares, maintained by the packagers. It's the same, more or less, for every distribution, not only Fedora. The packager pick the source or build it, then he makes a package, which is the software, compiled for Fedora, that you have with Yum.
The graphical tool, I think that in english his name in the "menu" is "Add/Remove Software", can be worth if you know what you search. But, yes, Terminal is, imho, way more useful, but maybe it's because I know what to do with it. Don't hesitate to look at the documentations, and there are a lot of websites explaining everything, a bit like the books "... for dummies" :p
There are some websites that are letting you explore the repos, like pkgs.org, or an official Fedora one but I forget his name/url...
Bonus : you can search alternatives to Windows apps here.
About what cp702 said : "you can download actual package files from, say, a website, and install them directly", it's true, but it's often not recommended, because of security and conflict issues that may happen. Of course sometimes it works without a problem. Just be advised that it can provide issues. Try to always use official or trusted repositories.
If a package is old, use Bohdi website to make a ticket or request.
2)
Gparted is free and well-reputed, don't worry about that.
About commands, as I said, read some documentations, for end-users the commands to remember are just a few, and they are more-or-less the same for every distro.
And about su/sudo, in Fedora sudo isn't well configured by default, but anyway I don't like it, because of its behavior, I see Sudo as a security hole for non-experimented users.
About RPMfusion, you'll have to install the codecs from that repo, just installing the repo won't help ^^
Default GNOME Fedora provides Rhythmbox, it's a bit like iTunes (a bit). You have Audacious, Clementine, etc... there are a lot of tools. And you have the excellent Amarok, but it's a KDE component.
3)
Uninstalling software :
- graphical tool : go to the section which display your installed softwares (or maybe a filter to tick, sorry I use some different specific tools or terminal).
- terminal : su -c yum remove packagename
You can look at this : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_Guide_-_Managing_Software
4)
Pepper is directly integrated in Chrome (but only Chrome, it's a Google+Adobe "product").
5)
As cp702 said, GNU/Linux distros are less energy-hungry than Windows, but I was talking about GPU, sometimes without proprietary driver the GPU can be always running at 100% with a nice big fan noise and an increased electricity consumption.
---
To conclude, I like Fedora for some reasons : fresh up-to-date packages, flexibility, "philosophy" behind it. Ubuntu is great for beginners, but Fedora is not that complicated, it just needs a bit of learning.
Test several distros (VirtualBox may help ^^) and use what you like ! And don't care about distros flamewars, trolls don't help.

And if so, what do you think of it? I just installed my first distribution of it successfully, attempting to dual boot it with Windows. I have to load it from the boot menu, but it works well enough for me since it won't be my main OS. I just wondered what some people on here thought of it. Any distribution of Linux, really. I chose Fedora, personally. I like it well enough so far, I just wish it had an 'App Store' like Ubuntu and Mint do. But from what I hear that may be coming in the near future.
Yeah I use it, and I love it. My favorite one is Fedora too, I created a lightweight deviation of it, "Viperr". I made versions 1 & 2, since v3 the maintainer is a friend of mine.
About "app store", as cp702 said, there is one, not like the one in Ubuntu, yes it will come later, but there is what we call a software manager, which is a graphical tool to explore the repository.
In fact, there are several software managers, the one in default Gnome Fedora, the one in KDE, and some others.
I used some other distros, I was known to be a freaky distro-hopper lol. Ubuntu, Debian, Crunchbang, Slackware, Arch, Fedora, Mandriva, Manjaro, a lot of other little distros, etc...
I have to say that, because of gaming, I mainly use W7 now, but I still have some distros on my other computers and I use them for everyday tasks.
I just couldn't get it to take 250GB of my 2nd HDD for whatever reason, so it took the whole 1TB. I'll see if I can change that with Partition Magic or something later on. The only real problem I have with Fedora is that installing stuff is kind of hard, and out of the box it's not compatible with anything, more or less. I had to try 4 different media players before I found one that supported MPEG4/AAC music formats (iTunes), and how to download the plugins for it. The one I'm using now is called 'Audacious'. Flash for Fedora exists, but from what I understand it's not the latest version, and Adobe may not be developing for Linux anymore, so some videos I might have to switch back to Windows for.
Yes you should partition your HDD with Windows7 tool or a Gparted Live CD. Be careful before doing that and make backups of your datas.
Can you explain what is hard about installing stuff ? Real question, not sarcasm, I ask because maybe I can help ^^
About multimedia codecs, enable the RPM Fusion repository (see documentation about doing this correctly), you'll not have any problem with them after that.
And yes Adobe won't make any new Flash plugin versions for Linux, but they are still maintaining the existing one about security.
You have some alternatives like Gnash, but they are shitty lol. Anyway, fortunately the Linux Flash plugin works quite well on Firefox, and Chrome has his own plugin, "Pepper".
I like the way it looks though, runs pretty quick, interface works a lot like MacOS without all the proprietary crap, and it's free. I didn't even have to install any hardware drivers, oddly enough. Not for sound, video, even my 3rd party wireless card.
Interface is heavily customizable, on Gnome it's a bit more difficult because they say they want it simple even for a 90yr grandma, so we have to install some hack tools to customize Gnome.
But other DesktopEnvironments or WindowManagers are incredibly flexible.
Depending of your GPU, you should install the proprietary driver (use the akmod version from RPM Fusion, akmod, not kmod, it's important !) you'll have better performances, and you'll save energy, because the free drivers may not be well optimized.

Do you have "xlive.dll" too, in game folder ?
If yes, remove it.
-
Sure ^^

BEST
Well, maybe not the best ending that I saw in a video game, but being a bit tired ^^ the real good one that I remember right now is from Metal Gear Solid 3. Heartbreaking (but I'm a sensitive guy :3).
http://youtu.be/jvKGqNWKhxk
EDIT : another one, I think it was in Super Metroid (or a later episode), when...
...the baby metroid sacrifices himself to save your live.
WORST
And there are too much shitty endings imho to tell which one is the worst :D

The Witcher 1 & 2 -66% on Steam
in Computers, Technology & Gaming
Posted · Edited by DarthWound
The TW are more "core gaming" RPGs than the TES (Oblivion and especially Skyrim, because of the consoles, were quite casual :/), so it's not for everybody, I must admit that and I agree with you.
A lot of players won't like those games, they are typical "old-school" RPGs. But TW had a huuuuge success anyway and it deserved it.
EDIT : about TES, of course I loved Skyrim, but Daggerfall & Morrowind were way better imho. I still play to Daggerfall which is abandonware now and runs under DOSbox.
