Well big boy what are the good ones? We have tried most the original maps plus some of the maap ones. Enlighten us oh wise one.

I thought you guys would have gone nuts over mAAp Pipeline. How could I make it better to entirely replace the regular version?

Get out! That's awesome! Was that in 2.8.5 or is this your creativity?

zoxxy you can see from spawn to spawn on mm only with nofog or with a corner of your screen, drivers that gives you nofog are detected with pbss, only 1 thing i dont get, is how ppl can use scroll to fire, isnt it cvared?

PBSS are gone and what if you bind your mouse scroll to be CTRL which is usually bound to FIRE in AA?

Good point

GPU card manufacturers don't really make drivers these days. I'd be surprised if there are any re-branded drivers anymore either.
*EDIT* Killa beats me to it while I type a more detailed reply...

We saw this issue on that guy's laptop with the Intel video too, same critical if I recall right. I also recall another person having this issue.

From Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb174714(v=vs.85).aspx):

Devices can also be lost due to a power management event, or when another application assumes full-screen operation. In addition, any failure from IDirect3DDevice9::Reset puts the device into a lost state.

I know there's PCI-E power management settings and Windows 8 has less aero effects so maybe the GPU idled down and couldn't be brought back? Just guessing here.


Maybe it's also possible that the default fullscreen resolution values aren't compatible with that specific graphics card/monitor so the game crashes? Idea from here:

nooby, what's your monitors native resolution? Can you try to set it with setres? Example "setres 1680x1050" in the AA console. Once you do that, go into the AA settings and tick the fullscreen box. See what happens?

Incredible work

Go to the Assist SETTINGS tab and click on Reset + Repair AA and then go to the SITREP tab and click on RE-INSTALL next to DirectX.

You can put it anywhere you want as long as the folder and .exe are together. It's simply a preference of where you would like it.

If you don't like Windows 8 and want some Windows 7 functionality back, I would suggest grabbing ClassicShell but it is not necessary to use Assist.
