Shamu

Question: If the problem is relative to a recent update would System Restore be of any help? My game ran fine until Fri. afternoon. Or perhaps reinstall, and go back to square one without any update installed.

Rescue 911 I dont find those 2 in my mp-config??? 4. snaps "30" 5. cl_packetdup "0" They are there, look again Snaps is found as> seta snaps "30" The other is> seta cl_packetdup "0" Mine show changes already in place. Word of caution when messing with the config. Copy and save the original, maybe on Desktop, just in case you screw something up.

Players should also make a Desktop folder or use a flash drive for FPS games where they can copy and paste their Config files, update them periodically. If something craps out with the game and you have to reinstall you will not lose your hard earned classes. Just copy and paste the saved Configs back where the originals are. This is also how I keep my characters current on multiple PC's.

Well, I have Googled the message and got to Steams forum page. Only consolation is that I am not the only one with this problem. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1579980 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960189-call-of-duty-black-ops/57086214 Lucky me to have company.

Amen!

Can't connect to Blk Ops, get a message that the servers are down and to check the Blk Ops servers "are not available at this time" and to go check the status but the status looks okay. http://www.callofduty.com/blackops/status Went to the Activision site and found my question there but the answer is not doing me any good, I do not understand it. https://activision.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/activision.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=28998&p_created=1289277603&p_sid=LgRknUek&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_srch=1&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NjgsNjgmcF9wcm9kcz0xLDE3NDgmcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PTIuMTc0OCZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=&p_topview=1 Too much info for me to process. Hopefully this is just a traffic issue. Anyone else have this problem? As you know misery loves company. Any ideas in XI?

No problems here.

Personally I have not experienced any lag but I fail to see the game as a major move froward of wither 4 or 5. It's different, it's new, it has new maps, but we'll see if it has staying power.

I play the COD games on multiple PC's and keep my character s current by transferring the Config files back and forth between PC's. I also save the Config's in a separate folder on my Desktop for backup should I need to reinstall for any reason or if I get a new PC. For Black Ops the player config is found in Steam/Steamapps/common/call of duty black ops/players. Save the config files under players.........that saves many headaches should you trash your game for whatever reason. Also allows you to transfer your character between PC's. One Config file is for Single Player, the other for MP. Yes, you need to have the same CD used for install on each PC.

I posted in another thread but this one is more appropriate. Just what is Steam? What does it do? I have never encountered it before and am basically computer illiterate. Some general information would be appreciated.

Well at least I registered on Steam as ShamuPA, that will work for me. I have never opened steam and this is the first time I have encountered it. I do not really need any more complexities challenging my limited computer knowledge.

Looks like Player name is whatever you applied with Steam. I have not seen any way to change except perhaps by editing the Steam account.

That's right, time to turn the clocks back 1 hour this coming weekend. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/

Just in case you want to know what it's all about> http://us.movember.com/about/ It's a good cause and about cancer awareness.

Hey, hey......lets not rush things, it's only just 67......... still a kid. Hope I am still gaming here when I hopefully do reach 87! And thanks so much for the best wishes, it is appreciated to see the courtesy shown to a guest. And in closing as my sig says: GROWING OLD IS MANDATORY, GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL!

Well at least it was only the temporary crown. If it was the finished crown you might be screening your poo for a few days to save some bucks.

I rarely ever even look at stats let alone know how they work. In my time here I may have looked twice. There are bigger and more important things for admins to administer. But it seems to me the programs run should be an admin decision since they do the work.

All of you with tattoos best hope you never meet a person like Ilse Koch. http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Buchenwald/Atrocities.html http://www.nizkor.org/features/denial-of-science/clay-koch-01.html She would be turning you into lampshades. Gruesome.

JohnnyDos Shamu come on now you are old enough to know the old STONES like these tunes Oh, I know many of them, just focused on the more popular ones which I expect will be performed by the Satisfaction cast. I have to admit to amazement at the "staying power" of the Stones. You could make a thread on Stones songs alone. Sirius radio had a Stones channel for awhile. Think it's off now.

Very very cool......need too hit Google and learn more about this place. How did you get to owning property in what appears to be a remote place? Edit: Need more than Google I think.

First I want to thank all who have inquired about my well being while in game. It really shows the respect and courtesy XI members show to a guest. Rather than trying to talk over the game noises and bore those who don't want to listen I thought I would post an update. First my house is under repair to include significant modernization. I am closing in the fireplace and having a nice wood burning stove installed. Much more efficient and I can still enjoy the fire. The "chase, which surrounds the fireplace flue and that the raccoons chewed through to get in my house has all been replaced. In tearing down the old wood two more dead raccoons were found inside the chase bringing the total to 6 dead, one live trapped and released. The dead ones in the chase had been shot by my son but made it back to the hole. Take my word for it, a .22 is not the best to kill a coon. As for myself I am improving. Still get dizzy and have to watch my balance especially when changing from one position to another. Neurologist says all looks to be progressing normally and time should heal everything. Just don't know how much time it will take. Cat scans of my brain look good...and yes there is brain matter in there. Gaming still bothers me. I can get dizzy or nauseous if I play too long. Again Doc says this is not abnormal. It's caused by the screen motion and concentration on objects that may or may not be moving. No harm done playing just inconvenient. He also tells me not to go see any 3 D type movies for awhile. Says they can really trigger nausea and dizziness. My back is an issue...... it hurts. Just went to the Osteopath and he also says it is a matter of time. I have not taken many pain meds by personal choice except for bedtime to help me sleep. Sleep only lasts at the most 4 hrs. before back hurts to much to stay in bed. When up and about there is little problem. My recliner is a life saver for napping. He did write a prescription for Celebrex which I have taken for the first time this evening. Other than that it's Tylenol only at bedtime. I still have some Percoset but do not take them, drugs are not my thing if I can avoid them. Tried using a leaf blower the other day, not a good idea. Also hurt my back getting up off the cat scan table, that magnified the pain for a few days. I have a prescription for PT and will be looking into that this week. That's about it. Everything is going as well as can be expected and hopefully time and PT will take care of things. Again, thanks to all who have asked.

My next show, 1/21/11, Keswick Theater, Glenside PA http://www.rollingstoneshow.com/ And how about Jagger and Turner?

Granted, potentially a volital subject but for me this is a very unique election year. Never in my life have I ever voted a straight party line. This year I will. I will be voicing my opinion of the Obama administration and Democratic policies through my vote. In a first ever for me it will be STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN. Only one lever to pull, I will be in and out of the booth fast.
