F.E.A.R / Combat / Extraction point / Perseus Mandate

Please read the previous posts on this and the last couple of pages which also discuss stuttering and FEAR RAM usage.

I know, it is not new to anyone of you but what is strange with my case is that it is always locking up after that I'm dead! And not all the time, only after a while playing. Sometime can sucessfully do CTRl-ALT-DEL to bring the Task Man and ending my locked up FEAR but this only works 2 out of 10 times.

Of course, already tried everything about sound and video tweaking but no luck and can't find anybody having this same strange behaviour!

My Specs:
AMD64 X2 3800+ (not OC)
ATI-X1300 with 19" Flat Panel using HDVI
2 gigs RAM
150gig Maxtor HDD (two Partitions)
1 x DVD and 1 x CD
X-Fi Xtreme

Any hints, tips?

just tried to log on a server and was told i didnt have the most up to date version. the Gamespy downloader is getting it off the sierra ftp now. it would appear to be around 45MB. can't find it at any fileplanet or gameshack or anything yet the only info i could find was at hte FEAR homepage to say it had been released. they linked to a page on the sierra site for downloads but it didnt appear to be working properly.

Downloading the 1.08 patch right now, and according the the release notes they've added Widescreen Support. Now that is good news for widescreen LCD owners with good enough hardware.

P.S. Don't expect fast download speeds at the Sierra website. FilePlanet's hosting it now. http://www.fileplanet.com/filelist.a...100580&v=90002

i'd advise people to wait a bit. very few server are using 1.08 yet and the ones that i've found that are, are having a few problems where they become unresponsive or say they are full when they're not.

as far as the patch itself goes, the only thing i have to say is i dont like the way your kills dont show up in the bottom left in bigger text now, only at the top right.

The change list is as follows:

This update is for F.E.A.R. Combat and brings it up to v1.08. This is a required update.

Update Notes - Multiplayer:

* Added ability to pick up and reuse Proximity Mines and Remote Detonators that were thrown by yourself.
* Limited support for Spectator Mode in objective (CTF, Conquer All, and Control) game modes.
* Added code to improve spawn with buddies system in team game modes. Will be noticeable only in Stockpile and custom maps.
* Player kill/death messages are now shown in both system and chat messages. Player kills and deaths will only be displayed in the system message area.

Update Notes - Global:

* Added widescreen support.
* Fixed bug where FEAR.exe would not always start when switching from FEARMP.exe to FEAR.exe.

Hi everyone.

Load and install the 1.08 (the big one from sierra) and didn't play for hours but my problem seems to be fixed now and also notice smoother graphics.
Didn't had any crash during about two hours of playing.

Finnished that last two intervals and can't wait to see how 'extraction point' will look like.

Thought it might be good to let you know.



Cheers.

Well what about the U.S patch for the Combat? I guess we have to wait a while.

I've been playing the F.E.A.R Extraction Point DEMO and everytime i get out of the game i either get a black screen and can only see my curser or reboots/blue screen of death. Anybody seen this issue with this demo because there is something wrong with this games setup, not sure everything was and is fine with my system just with this demo for some odd reason, anyone?

I'm not sure if that has to do with the patch or anything but since it came out I decided to reinstall the game and I noticed that the game was a lot smoother.

In some areas like the beginning of the game when you get out of the car it would really bog down on me but this time around it stayed as fluid as ever.
