That's good.. nothing to do with the demo manager though

Would anyone be up for some quick testing of the Demo Manager? I have migrated the portal over to the new version and it has broken the demo manager so need to push out a new version of that. The testing will simply be downloading and installing the new version, checking it works with the portal and that's it. Any takers?

One quick Google later - https://twitter.com/TeamFortress It is related to the previous source leak in 2018 and should be of no issue to keep playing.

I haven't looked at it but in all honest as a software engineer - it should not matter if your code is public or private. Ignoring the commercial side of things good code is written in a way where it does not matter if it is made public. Yes open code makes it 'easier' for people to find the flaws and exploit them. However the flaws were always there and exploitable. Generally the decision for open sourcing code is a mixture of commercial and risk based. Either way - the code quality should not change. I imagine from the brief skim of the link that it has an element of scaremongering as I read about uninstalling the application etc.

Holy crap that was your issue? Out of the numerous spelling and grammatical errors. Lower your standards.

I think we need to punish the admins!

I would kill for some yeast! Have struggled to get some since this chaos started. I have been experimenting with all these non-yeast recipes; backing powder, yogurts.. they come out OK just not quite that fluffy light loaf I am looking for!

I'll one up you.. what game?

Thanks for that @Angelz and @EDD THE DUCK The fist ones still don't work great as they either disappear into the background or 'blur' to be unidentifiable. @EDD THE DUCK your one seems to work well: Thanks again!

The current ones in the above screenshots are 16x16, yes small but cannot be larger.

Does anyone have a small Insurgency icon, I need a .png 16x16. I have been messing with updating the Portal players map to split down by game type and it's not looking as nice as I would like for Insurgency: As you can see even when zoomed in the icons is not as visible as the others: I think something darker or with a dark background would be better. Can I get some help from someone please?

In all honestly I probably wouldn't... I upgrade/downgrade things all the time and rarely post. @Oster - as long as it doesn't hit 12Kb/s then you are hitting the redirect correctly. There is no limits being reached server side so potentially a client-side or somewhere in the middle issue. Duc

@ShaunZAR thanks. The code that is being invoked and determining the path for the exe is using the registry. Are you familiar enough with regedit to have a look at one of the keys? The code: private Game GameInstalled(GameVersion version, string name) { if (Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\" + name, "codkey", null) != null) { var game = new Game(version, name); var path = Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\" + name, "InstallPath", null); if (path != null) game.InstallPath = path.ToString(); return game; } return null; } As you can see it checks for your game key to confirm it is installed and configured and then gets the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Call of Duty WAW" value. It is that value that I would like to see. Can you provide a screenshot of it? Do not include the value of the codkey in the screenshot.

The 'XI Demo Manager' supports COD2, 4 and COD 5 (WAW). It is mainly used by the COD5 players. @ShaunZAR - I had a look at the code and for COD5 it should be using the app data path: private readonly string _codWawAppDataPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "Activision", "CoDWaW"); Can you provide the full stack trace please? (click the details button on the error message). Thanks

OK so not the XI one?

I mean it's solvable yeah.. just haven't looked at it at all. You have me confused again though, what is the 'COD4 Demo Manager'? as opposed to the demo manager that you are using?

That is one fucked up crazy fucker. Honestly thought that was a fake article at first.

Update: I started my 'social distancing' on march 24th with high hopes of seizing this as an opportunity to learn and develop myself. Increasingly I have found it hard to remember what I did yesterday, focus on projects and my diet is shockingly bad. Entering my 15th day.. which in reality is not long. I have been on holidays far longer. I have been to the 'small' Tesco twice and 'large' Morrisons yesterday (as a B'Day celebration). I have scarily only gone for a handful of walks and a single bike ride, other than that I have stuck in the house or the garden. I have sunburn from sitting in the sun too long. I am now stocked up to last another two weeks without leaving the property but will have to go out for walks/rides for my sanity I think.

OK so your issue is a separate issue and unrelated then. Shaun's is because of the install location.

I'm confused now - when you said 'still not working' - who was it in relation to and was it a question or statement? In any case the file is in the download section.

It's not working for you @BlackRose? or for @ShaunZAR.

No clue what it means either.. going to try and break it down: "All it makes !e think about is getting drunk and how much I fucking detest snow." - Pretty sure this means he just doesn't like snow. "I was reading though about how poets the good ones usually come from ugly shitty looking shit like this." - He can read? I guess he likes poetry. And that the good ones come from 'ugly shitty looking shit like this'. I guess that means good poets are from places that snow? Perhaps a recognition that when the weather is snowy more people stay inside and potentially write poetry? "It isn't realistic because the last check from the Netherlands I knew just wanted to take pictures next to statues with any size penis. That and shitty taxedermy." - Right this one has me a little stumped. I think 'check' is 'chick'? If you read it as that he knew a 'chick' from the Netherlands that was interested in history especially statues with a penis visible. The 'chick' apparently also likes taxidermy. Still unsure what isn't realistic though? "Oh and living in Az is paradise." - He comes from Arizona and thinks that is paradise?.. So that's my breakdown.. unsure how accurate it is?

Nope - I had a power cut which is why XlrStats stopped working. And I couldn't be arsed to get out of bed and resolve it when the power came back on. Duc

Or not I read demo manager not download manager on the screenshot. Which is it?
