Well obviously GNN has no Idea how MA will treat GNN's customer base once they get their claws into them.Maby a heads up would be in order.

""The company puts gamers first by giving them free access to its compelling titles, supporting its amazing communities, offering creative pricing models and updating its games based on community feedback. ""

Ahh wont MA break em of THAT habit in a hurry.

Actually Rage stated in a funny post that we seem to be the single playerbase who likes gettin our salad tossed (was that the correct slang for buttfuck?)
And no, i`m living under the same impression for quite a while

I'll be contacting GNN and show them how MA cares for its customers. Besides me, I only know another brazilian in EU, and she is not depositing anymore. I am on my way out, and will do my best effort to guarantee that no other brazilian gets scammed by MA.

Hi,

I just updated to new version, but, when the screen to create the new av is displayed, the av is blacked out. I used to have the option "disable shaders" marked in the previous version, but didn't find it in the new version.

Hi,

It is the Intel 945GM Express Chipset http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/945g/index.htm)
This chipset includes the Intel® GMA 950 graphics core http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/
Here are the 3D characteristics:

High Performance 3D

Up to 4 pixels per clock rendering

Microsoft* DirectX* 9 Hardware Acceleration Features:
-Pixel Shader 2.0
-Volumetric Textures
-Shadow Maps
-Slope Scale Depth Bias
-Two-Sided Stencil
-Microsoft* DirectX* 9 Vertex Shader 3.0 and Transform and Lighting supported in software through highly optimized Processor Specific Geometry Pipeline (PSGP)
-Texture Decompression for DirectX* and OpenGL*
-OpenGL* 1.4 support plus ARB_vertex_buffer and EXT_shadow_funcs extensions and TexEnv shader caching

I have no problems whatsoever running other applications as Second Life, Vside, Kaneva and etc.
In the previous version of EU, I had the shaders disabeled option checked, but, didn't understand why, since my chipset supports Pixel Shader 2.0 and Vertex Shader 3.0.
This is the chipset that equipes very recent notebooks from Dell, Lenovo and others.

Sorry,

The correct link to the chipset specs is this:

And I do have the latest driver installed.

Hi,

We develop for ATI Radeon and Nvidia Geforce chipsets, the performance of the Integrated Intel chipsets leave very much to wish for, even though Intel state " High Performance 3D" you have to severely re-define the meaning of High performance 3D by modern standards to make that statement valid.

Here you can see the requirements for running our application :

We are sorry that we can not be of more help to you.

& plonker is right
People look at communities & other sites to gain interest for EU if evrybody states that its crap and like i always hear "its a richkids game"

Then i dont think tey will play it much.

But thats imho

Hmm... anyhow about the Brazil announcement more. I agree with whoever it was was who said "Hello anyone home????".

I'm sure its a left hand, right hand thing as in, someone from a different dept posted it without perhapse having any knowledge of the current issues.

Unfortunately due to the timing, it comes over as, "Up yours we are not listening" but I don't think it is intended that way. Any other time I'm sure this would have sparked a good discussion but right now I think it seems very insignificant to most and even perhapse a little annoying...

Be interested to see what others think.

Unfortunately, that's the way it's coming across to a LOT of players - me included.

[psychnosiz]

quite funny, if you search the GNN site, entropia is mentionned NOWHERE lol
not in the forums, no link or info in the GNN clientloader, nor on the main page is this info confirmed. I don't think they like us down there ?
They haven't even placed some tiny link so I don't think they're qualified enough to be partners. If they're ripping off MA, they're ripping off us cuz it's our decay paying for that promotion

furthermore ...
