*blush* Task master is.... where? :s

Ctrl-Shift-Esc

OR

Right Click task Bar > Task Manager

OR

Ctrl-Alt-Del > Task Manager

 

[arc@css]

Task Manager can be opened more than one way, but I tend to enable it by right clicking on the taskbar, and then select 'Start Task Manager'.

Oh THAT task bar! Riiiiight I'm with ya now. Cant find any way to adjust cores though.

*sigh* Meh to hell with it, too tired to be messing around with this.

 

[dmcg]

It is related to the refresh rate of your monitor, nothing to do with the number of cores. It is designed to be run on a 60Hz monitor and the FPS is tied into that, you have 120Hz. You need to force your monitor to run at 60Hz, so just go to the Display Properties/Screen Resolution page then Advanced Settings. Monitor tab, change the refresh rate from 120Hz to 60Hz and click Apply. That should hopefully sort it.

The trouble is most of the games are the same as what was in the summer sale so we bought most of them then lol..

 

[andrewohare]

I bought it on the 360 when it came out, managed to fluke my way to the first town where I had to kill a monster in the lake, didn't play it for a few days and in that time completely forgot how to play it.

Since then I've bought it on PC thinking it may just be a controller scheme thing, tried a new game a few times and can't get passed the start bit. It just doesn't make any sense to me at all???

I have the same problem lol

 

[Craig1981]

Think I found it.... lets see what happens.

EDIT: Yaaay! The game runs normally now! Thanks guys!!!

Got 3DMark today as I noticed it had a huge 90% price decrease! Worth it for £1.89, glad I got it

That brings my total purchases to 3 in this Steam sale:

- Bioshock Infinite
- Far Cry 3
- 3D Mark

Think I'll probably get The Witcher 2 as well, hopefully the Flash sales will get better soon as they've been pretty terrible so far.

 

[kmetek]

3d mark is pro version right?

advanced i meant.

[sunny007]

Tomb Raider, worth it ?

 

[HungryHippos]

Tomb Raider is worth it for about a fiver I reckon. One of my my Games of the Year

 

[Nate75]

Tomb Raider, worth it ?

aye - good game

 

[Stelly]

Tomb Raider, worth it ?

Definately worth it I think. I really liked the story line but its defiantely nothing like previous games in the series!!!

Stelly

 

[Titchy]

Just echoing what others have already said , Tomb Raider for a fiver = no brainer imo, great value game.

On a side note , i quite liked skyrim , do you think it is worth getting the oblivion goty edition for a few quid to experience one of the previous games ? ( i never played any of them )

Cheers

 

[Rezident]

Antichamber 75% off - great game. Really enjoying it.

 

[Carl-Brit]

the witcher 2, WHAT A BARGAIN, never played the first one before so jumping into number two was a big surprise at just how graphically intense it is on par with crysis on max settings to bring your pc too it's knees = )

Agreed, one of the absolute must-buys for anyone who doesn't have it when it is at this kind of price !
