I've been playing hyst since day one and I agree. While it does take a lot of skill to do such things as correctly place a mine to plop an enemy worm,  accurately  fire bazooka/molotov/grenade etc from jetpack all of this in the span of a single second, most games revolve only around telecow shit. It doesn't matter if you can use jetpack + lg + grenade if your opponent can just take advantage of teleport and kill you before you even move.

Also hysteria isn't even a classic scheme so it doesn't belong there whether we're talking about age or skill ceiling.

I remember you being more helpful than this.

So recently I've been getting this problem where no sfx will play. No explosions, no speeches, no fanfares etc. All I ever get is the background music. I reinstalled the game several times and checked all the .wav files, they work fine when I play them with VLC or Winamp but the game won't load them.

70sgroove works for some reason though.

Pls respond, I need your halp.

Yeah I remember doubletime having shit karma it was hilarious.

Almost all of them are totally shit because Team17 is completely talentless and all they can do is keep rehashing their flagship once successful franchise. Kind of like george lucas.

God Hand and Persona 3-4.

South Americans and slavs tend to cling to older games.

Wow I can't believe we have this forum this is f@#!ing great.

Jesus.

What the hell?

I don't remember playing Elite with those guise.

You guys make me sad 

I'm using a torrent but I have the CD (the cd's autorun won't work for some reason).
If I run the game with the lastest driver, it will freeze, if I try the older driver, then
the game won't' open at all because of the 1366 x 768 resolution.
The newest driver works on 1024 x 768 and below.

Dudes, I've just updated my drivers and I can open the game, with intro
and stuff but it freezes at the main screen, althought I can still hear the background music and the clicking sound, video's frozen.

Edit: It' almost like the video is lagged by 10 secs and frequently fails,
leaving me a black screen with some yellow boxes.

I only tried safe mode to make sure the RESOLUTION was the prob.
It's a crappy note/net book hybrid that runs even crappier Windows 7 starter, at 1366 x 768 resolution (cannot be changed) with epic failure SiS Mirage 3 Graphics (SiS 672 Series) and Intel pentium dual core.
Withouth the patch It just crashes, with it I get "Unable to set desired video mode"(Which I believe to be the resolution).
It never worked before, but I got to the title screen in safe mode.

I always get some kind of error when trying to run the game, but today I've managed to actually run
Wurmz for a few secs (in safe mode) before it crashed (but for no apparent error).
It only worked because the resolution was set to 800 x 600 for default, and apparently
Shiticon Integrated Shitstems won't let me change mah resolution from 1366 x 768 in unsafe mode.

Helps?

Don't forget to smite me  

TUS should differ the "oficial" schemes from the crap ones.
