Yep ... they can't take the truth .. :wink:

[quote]Cheers Drexion :) that clears that up, I guess for some reason it's suddenly become more noticeable on my machine with the fov hack.. weird hu? Well, no-one else has said anything about it so must just be me! lol

No, not weird at all. If you are using a larger FOV, your graphics card has to work harder, higher loads tend to slow things like framerate down, and probably makes the texture popping more noticible.

Yeah, I noticed a 0-2 fps drop on my 8800GTX :oops:

You need to crank up something then :)
Your 8800 GTX is such a beast it isn't even noticing the extra load on it. What resolution do you game at?

Haha, they can't handle the... Ok, I won't lol.

This whole Bioshock (and soon to be Airborne) WS debacle has spurred me to sign up for the forum here (long time reader).

Bioshock widescreen issue has made it to Slashdot... http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/28/1420250

among the other issues :)

Hello folks,

Well I read through the 28 pages of this thread and I would like some help...if possible. I read through the pages, but didn't see a solution to my problem.

First Time Caller!

I have a Z-Board Mercs keyboard and I cannot get the */-+ keys to work. I have tried switching back to my old Thermaltake, but it no longer works (which is why I replaced it). I have reloaded the hack twice, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried re-booting and turning off the Number Lock. I thought about un-installing and then re-installing the entire game, but I don't want to hit the "we won't let you install our software too many times" wall. Is there a work around or is there something that I am doing incorrectly?

I have tried to activate it when exiting the ocean. I tried waiting and then attempting to activate it right before the bathysphere. I tried waiting until I picked up the wrench. I did each one as a new game, but each time I had the same results. I have included possibly pertinent specifications below.

Thanks,
Chris

texasphile ... welcome tho the forum ... 8)

Unfortunately I have no idea why the keys are not working for you ...
Very strange ...

Sorry that isn't any help ... all I could suggest is try changing your keyboard ... but you have thought of that yourself.

May be I was wrong about Medal Of Honor: Airborne ...
