Hello, I am new, and found your forum by accident. I was happy to see that there is a lot of interest in ET, I LOVE this game. I tried to join some servers, but kept getting errors and such. I've tried downloading the files, putting them in right spots, etc. So, right now, I am pretty frustrated, and instead, just want to start fresh. I did a little looking and I did not see any sort of step by step procedure, so my question is this: Would anyone be willing to take a few minutes, and list a step by step procedure for someone wanting to play, and assuming they had NOTHING on their computer? So from the very beginning, to the end? I think this way would be best, as my efforts prior have failed. If this has already been done, sorry, its late, and I don't mean to be redundant, just frustrated right now. Thanks! <3

(We would not normally post Tech-info in News, but the timely post by SinCity could save many, many people a lot of time.) Sincity's post: https://fearless-assassins.com/topic/92671-usb-devices-stopped-working-last-week-microsoft-has-released-a-fix/ My computer and a co_Leader's computer both had the USB problem. Our printers and other USB-connected devices had troubles of various kinds. My keyboard and mouse seem to be working okay... I am posting this here to save a lot of people a lot time trying to troubleshoot their printers, etc. Update after Dzoni posted below. People may get different problems on their different computers...or perhaps no problems at all. My update was successful. Addresses an issue in which some USB devices and onboard devices, such as a built-in laptop camera, keyboard, or mouse, stop working. This may occur when the Windows Update servicing stack incorrectly skips installing the newer version of some critical drivers in the cumulative update and uninstalls the currently active drivers during maintenance. This announcement was intended to help people avoid the troubleshooting adventure that is posted below.

This site says that MS will install Emergency Updates today, at 5pm EST and 2pm PST...I just received mine at 1pm PST. It included updates for ARM and Windows Server 2016. https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/3/16846784/microsoft-processor-bug-windows-10-fix NOTE: "The update will also be available for older and supported versions of Windows today, but systems running operating systems like Windows 7 or Windows 8 won’t automatically be updated through Windows Update until next Tuesday. Windows 10 will be automatically updated today." Nest Tuesday is the traditional "Patch Tuesday". Here is the Update Catalog that I received for Win10 ver. KB4056892 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4056892 only about half apply to my win10 pro 64-bit ver.1709 Here is a PC Gamer article which says that the Intel CPU design problem won't affect gaming : http://www.pcgamer.com/serious-intel-cpu-design-flaw-may-require-a-windows-patch-but-probably-wont-affect-gaming-performance/?utm_content=buffer5f93b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer-maxpcfb The biggest danger is to large companies with large sites and systems. "... the fixes will also rely on firmware updates from Intel, AMD, or other vendors that are rolling out...." -
The next "On the House" game for EA's Origin PC game store has been revealed. The new freebie is World War II shooter Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, which was originally released in 2004. It currently sells for $10, but when it's added to the On the House hub sometime "soon" it can be yours at no charge. Pacific Assault will replace Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which was free starting in February up until this week. On the House offers one free game at a time, but there is no set schedule for when new titles will replace the existing ones. Most Wanted is no longer available through the program and Pacific Assault has not been added yet. It should be coming soon, according to EA. We will let you know when it arrives. While On the House titles are completely free for all Origin users, gamers can also pay $5/month for an Origin Access subscription to get a library of free games (among other perks). The lineup of games in "The Vault" grows on March 22 when Titanfall is released into the library. GameSpot's Pacific Assault review scored the game an 8.3/10. "It can be difficult to reconcile how, exactly, such a grim event as World War II could become the context for a fun-filled action game, but it's once again made for an exciting experience in Medal of Honor Pacific Assault," reviewer Greg Kasavin said back in 2004. After 2012's Medal of Honor Warfighter came up short, EA put the series on hiatus. No new entries in the shooter franchise have been announced, though EA still retains the rights to make more games in the future.

I would like to start off with a small introduction of myself. I am blackknight8653. I am not sure if many of you know me but this post will be my first post I will be posting in F|A Report News Section. I am not sure if I am allowed to post here but I thought I should share some things that some might not know. I apologise in advance if my English is not that perfect and my writing skills may not be on par with professional writers but I thought it is important that I share this with all of you especially for those who are not aware. It is currently 30 July 2015 (in my country and it is almost 31 July 2015 in a few hours time), which is 1 day after the official release of Windows 10. I know some in F|A forums have already tried Windows 10 insider or just installed Windows 10 which released yesterday and have mixed reviews about this new Windows release by Microsoft. I just updated my own computer to Windows 10 a few hours ago as during the official launch day I faced some Windows Update Error (Error Code 800240020, etc) and I only managed to fix it today as I am currently busy with my military work. Similar to some, I have also tried the Windows 10 Technical Preview and now that Windows 10 have been officially release I thought I did share a particular hidden feature which some of you might not realised after updating to Windows 10. This particular feature is related to Windows Update. In Windows 10, Microsoft introduced a new method in how Windows Update would function in Windows 10. This method was introduced in the early stages of the Windows 10 Technical Preview and I am sure some of you already know what I am about to talk about. It is none other than Microsoft adoption of BitTorrent-Style P2P (also known as peer-to-peer which is a protocol) method to deliver updates to Windows 10 users. I am sure many of you know what "torrenting" is and what it is often associated to. Torrenting has long been put under the spotlight with negative presses relating torrenting with illegal activities eg. pirating. However, this is not the main purpose behind torrenting. In order to make it easier for general users to understand, the basic idea to torrenting is the ability to share/distribute large files easily to many people. Using this concept, Microsoft is able to tap into the huge potential that P2P can offer. One such potential is that it can reduce the load on Microsoft's servers and reduce the time it takes for users to download updates for Windows 10. I am sure many of you now wonder how would Microsoft be able to accomplish this as P2P methods are only effective if there are many "peers", in simple terms, many people "sharing" the updates. To answer this question, Microsoft makes the option for every Windows 10 users to be automatically opt in to become part of this P2P network. In other words, you would also automatically become part of the programme. Now I am sure some of you are beginning to have concerns about such programme especially with regards to it possibility using your bandwidth affecting your gameplay or felt that being automatically opt in for such a programme to be a violation of individual rights etc. Regardless of how you may feel with regards to this new adoption by Microsoft, I will provide you a way to opt out of this programme. With this guide I hope it brings a sense of comfort to those who have concerns with regards to this new feature introduced to Windows Update, How to disable P2P in Windows Update: Step 1 : Go to your Start Menu and click Settings. Step 2 : On the Settings page, click on Update & security. Step 3 : Select the Windows Update tab and click on Advanced options. Step 4 : You should see a panel as shown in the image below. Click Choose how updates are delivered. Step 5 : Turn off the option under "When this is turned on, your PC may also send parts of previously downloaded Windows updates and apps to PCs on your local network, or PCs on the Internet, depending on what's selected below." Step 6 : You have successfully disable the new feature introduced by Microsoft. If you are not convinced by my article or feel the need to have more reliable sources with regards to this issue, I have list some other news articles from popular news sources) below: http://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2015/03/16/windows-10-to-use-bittorrent-style-p2p-to-deliver-updates/ http://www.techtimes.com/articles/39960/20150316/windows-10-updates-might-come-via-p2p.htm http://venturebeat.com/2015/07/29/windows-10-tips-for-gamers-how-to-save-your-bandwidth-do-a-clean-install-and-more/ (For those who are looking for a more recent article) This is the first time I have wrote an article and I apologise if it is not well written. I may write another article if I have time on how to update to Windows 10 for those who are eligible but did not get to update as you encountered errors such as (Error Code: 800240020). This is not related to the article but for those who are wondering why I have not been online on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory etc, it is due to the fact that I have been busy with military work, my own projects (which I hope to release soon) and the need to take a break from activities such as gaming due to doctor's advice. I apologise as I might not be online on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for a while though I may or may not play a little once in a while. I will still be active on F|A Forums. If you need me, do not be afraid to private message me. It is getting late now and it is time for my rest. Goodnight. Thank you for reading. I hope the article is useful.- 2 replies
