WowLoader Source Code Discussion

Yeah dude, if you read more closely, you'd see it's a mobility card...I.E. a laptop. I didn't overclock that much, 10-20%...but I haven't done it again and won't, which is why I really want the bugs on this to be worked out so I can play on XP, which, apparently for those for whom it works, gets a much better frame rate.

Which is even worse because you are overclocking a part that already gets limited air flow. It's good that you aren't overclocking it anymore though. Other then getting a new laptop I don't think there is too much you can do to improve performance. Even on XP H2V is still a pretty demanding game, and I'll be surprised if the issues you are having are easily fixable. You have a relatively slow CPU, a low amount (for the game) of ram and a relatively poor performing GPU. The only thing I can suggest is to turn absolutely every setting down or off and try and play it like that. If H2V has some kind of safe mode setting try running it in that.

Microsoft really isn't into open source. This is obvious. They release a few cut down apps here and there but until I see Windows/Office Free Edition (even if it is based off an older codebase like 9x) and it's source code released I won't consider them a part of the open source movement.

Yeah you're right...I got it to work in XP...but its not a lot better. It's definitely better, but not super. I've applied at three places so hopefully I can get a job, and a new computer.

Also Nick. Everyone knows Microsoft doesnt like open source, they have been FORCED into open sourcing things to keep the numbers up and to keep the customers.

Unless you were trying to suggest that Microsoft is against open source, in which case you would be wrong as usual (yes, those are three separate links).

I said doesnt like. Not doesnt do. Theres a big difference...

Please dont put words into my mouth.

If you think I misinterpreted what you were thinking then fair enough.

I'm saying, its currently at its max really.

How did you come to that conclusion?
There's still a few things which could be added.
And even if MS begins searching for it proactively, there would still be legitimate ways around that.

Your tricking it into thinking the OS that is running is vista/making it think that XP is compatible with the game.

That's not all it's doing, it also provides several API's which are only available on Visata.

That is pretty much the only way to make it work.

Well, duh. If your car runs out of gas, there's only one solution to that as well.

Sadly it has its limitations such as the live issue, but that isnt fixable right now.

*Sigh* Did you even read my first post?
Or maybe the concept of source code escapes you?

But you fixed one thing I didnt think was possible. XP h2sapien

Why would H2 Sapien be different from everything else?

[Snaver]

Could we please keep this thread relevant to the WowLoader Source Code and keep other discussion out?

Sup admin, am I the only one that can see your posts.. or..?

DAMNIT! Missed one *deletes*

abcba, can you please just take one last look at your loader? for some reason it keeps asking for the disc when level 12-gravemind loads. apparently, everybody has run into this problem. if anybody can fix it, please?

I said doesnt like. Not doesnt do. Theres a big difference...

I can't recall a company to financially support something they don't... support... morally?

As for the loader, it doesn't get past the initial Halo 2 logo load screen for me, upon launch.

When I click on loader.exe it doesn't work.


Edit. Damn! "Process exited with this return code 00000000"


Edit. Fixed that, now It loads half-way and then it exits out oh and loader.exe still doesn't work
