CW4

Well before I start playing around with Win 11, I'm making a diskimg of my Win 10 just in case things don't work too well. The beta Win 11 didn't like COD4 but that could have been just a driver problem. Was dropping frames like I had a 500 ping back in the day of dial up.

I'm 69 years old and my wife still says "Just when are you going to grow up!'

Stupid is as stupid does.....

Just ran the Auto-Update in the COD4X and there is a 20.5 version... Still running fine after the update. Also connected to the MW2 FT server with no problems.

I don't think that works, the COD4X 1.8 that Steam pushes out isn't compatible with 1.7 servers. Remember 1.8 is a MOD. However I did run over to the COD4X Website and found a 20.0 version that I installed and ran. Works fine with out freeze tag 1 sever and connected to several others. So if you have downloaded COD4 from Steam I suggest you do one of two things.... The rollback to version 1.7..... Or download the 20.0 mod update from COD4X. So with the COD4X 20.0 installed you can join all the servers out there from 1.7 up.

The latest official version, is 1.7, the 1.8 and now the 1.9 versions are CoD4X. COD4X is a MOD not from Activision. Looking at the COD4X 19.0 description found over at Gamepressure it looks like it may now support connections to 1.7 servers. However I haven't tested this. Anyone want to give it a try?

Just doing the updates or in place upgrade, you must have Win 10 with a valid key installed. Gas price just went up, so let's call it $1 ... both ways... more if I fly...

For $30 I'll head over with my USB stick with all the downloaded updates and install them for you.... Plus 75 cents a mile surcharge.....

MS is backing off... some what, that is... MS backing down....

I installed just the Intel 1211 driver, no crapware along with it. Tend to do that with all my drivers and such, like printers.

Activated TPM last week so that wasn't it, still guessing it's drivers for the mobo NIC (Intel I211). But then again it's a beta. Got the wife's laptop that meets the hardware requirements that I could try it on, but she says that I'll be singing soprano if I do.

So went and grabbed the last ISO for Win 11 and put it on a USB stick. The install took about 20-30 minutes as it hung once at 68% completed. I hit the Esc key and the continue option and it continued the install. After reboot and a few more install/update screens, it seemed that all went well. I really don't care for the centered taskbar, nor the way the taskbar opens and options-layout displayed. Got to do some digging to get to some common settings. The Network & Internet options are lacking or I just didn't find what I was looking for. I tried several of my installed programs and all opened and ran. I got on Teamspeak and jumped on FT1. COD4 joined with out a problem.... but.... I was lagging so bad that it was not playable. Ping was ok but there was a ton of dropped frames. I would turn 90 degrees and the first 10-15 degrees displayed ok before jumping to the 90 degree point. After leaving the game I got back on the net and did a speed test, also doing the same with my other Win 10 computer. The Win 11 system was a good 12-15% slower in the download speeds but the upload speed was the same. I'm thinking driver problems maybe, but doing some searching I found that many have had the same speed reduction, some as much as 90% or better. Also the Widgets didn't work for me, again a common problem for other people. It kept wanting me to "sign in" with my MS account but it wouldn't stick after I tried several times. So rolled back to Win 10 after playing around for about a hour, which took only 5 minutes. Jumped back on FT1 and smooth as butter, but Sally still kept shooting me. If I give this a try again I'll wait for a few more beta updates, but see no real reason or features for me to rush into Win 11. System is... MSI Carbon Gaming Pro MB R7-2700x 32GB DDR4 3000 memory HP EX920 M.2 1TB and other drives... RTX 2070

You can get a free BF-1 key if you are a Amazon Prime member... How to get the key Just the basic game and only until August 4.

Don't even mention the Silenced P90 that can shoot 500 yards......

Corpse was always great to play with and I'll miss him on the server. Never said a bad word about anyone, friendly and fun to play with. RIP my friend.

The FX-8350, from what I can find out, doesn't have TMP support in it.

Wonder if I get a TPM Module for my old ASUS board would my old FX-8350 run Win 11? Might give it a try and see what happens.

Bitlocker isn't available on Windows 10 Home edition.

Microsoft Now Says Windows 11 TPM Requirement Is For Version 2.0 The company has updated its documentation to say that its previous guidance on the minimum TPM security requirements was incorrect, and that TPM 1.2 is no longer considered to be sufficient. windows-11-tpm-requirement-is-for-version-2-0

I have several friends running older systems that only have DX11 cards or older laptops that are still good for web surfing that won't be upgrading to Win 11.

Nice to see you on the servers Hog.

Looks like someone at MS really liked Windows 8.....

I've had no problems with this version. Been running it for over a month now on 2 desktops and 2 laptops.

Rob I would have said 23 tops.....

I have a 144hz monitor and a RTX2070 running the DP cable. Could do the G-Sync but bench testing shows it just drops the GPU performance, so have it turned off.
