CC5 PC's

I was just discussing some things with Ana, I said the shedule hould be as tight as posible and players are the blame for PC fuck up. He didn't agree and said drivers can fuck up the PC, but only drivers you would need are mouse drivers or you must have some uberspecial keyboard and headset.

So I need to know if system restore is working properly, I don't want all shit settings added by some uberleet players who need 3847923890 tools/drivers to aim smoothly.

And I don't wan't to play at 03:00 or smth because nobody ever thought of a system restore.

IMHO all PC's should be restored before a player even touches them, or the player who used to PC the last time has to do a restore when he leaves. And you can blame the player for fucking up the PC, PC's only do what you tell them to do.

"uberleet players who need 3847923890 tools/drivers to aim smoothly." :)

e; that would be crittie loool! XDDDD
COME FIX MY PC.. FFS WHERE R THE ADMINS ROFL
I think the same! When onlan, you saw players wasting your time cause of tools problem & stuff. Personaly I just need setting of my razer deathadder!
AWESOME JOURNAL
Make a bootable linux USB stick and play from that one. Keeps your setting and everything in order completely independent of how the guy before you played.

Dunno if that's allowed though :D
would be nice, but doesn't works properly.

Atleast when I treid to play ET from my USB drive at school I got random lags because it needed to write and read fromt he same usb drive at the same time. Was alot better with demo recording off though, but stil not perfect.
Parent
Then make it work!
Ramdisk could be a good idea if the I/O to the USB drive is laggy
Parent
I'm thinking about a windows disk with ET installed, but the problem is that I don't know which drivers are installed on the PC's.

If I had the drivers I could make a windows XP live boot CD with ET and my settings :D
Parent
Doesn't some of those TinyXP builds have a shitload of drivers on them?
Parent
Don't want a shitload of drivers, I want the drivers the PC's need :D
Parent
I would add unbindall to all the autoexec_*.cfg files just in case the next person to use the PC didn't use them and couldn't figure out why his binds kept disappearing
delete his profile make a new one ...
Parent
what does that have to do with /etpro/autoexec_*.cfg
Parent
just split up cod4 and et... they are the ones that fuck the pcs
a fast and good working system restore feature would be nicer, lets say max 10 mins for full system restore.
Parent
to restore registry and all drivers people installed?
Parent
yep liek windows system restore, only faster. Well at my PC it takes about 10-15 mins but in some cases windows system restore can take a while.
Parent
i just need my deathadder drivers, thats all. hope people dont fuck up the windows registry on the mouse settingz :D
Just get a registry file of your mousesettings at home and get your drivers there.

One more tip! Mark a spot on the mousepad that's reached when you've done a 360 at home, so you can actually see if it's the same sens or not. :-)
u think a 30cm wide mousepad will fit beside the other pc :D?

i guess it will be kinda tight with space between the pc's
Parent
if its too big just cut it off and sell it
Parent
my qpad CT, is already cutted to 30cm !

D:
Parent
It will fit I think. As long as the guy next to you doesn't have a 60cm mousepad with a 1 meter keyboard.
Parent
haha, ok thanks :p
Parent
and bull, was friggin huge :D
Parent
hmm so my qck+ is gna cause a problem? its like 45 centimeters... :D
Parent
if you have 2 ppl with those huge pads next to each other it might become problematic.
Parent
don't need drivers, windows default is enough.

I heard stories of matches being delayed because somebody fucked up a PC, and I don't want that! A simple system restore should be enough.

And if you still fuck up your PC after the systeem restore ur a noob and ur team has to start with 5, waiting until the noob fixed his PC.
Parent
90% of ET-players wont get to 360 when moved across the mousepad! =)
Parent
:XDDDDDDDDD so true
Parent
The schedule for this event will be made in a way that I'm hoping not to fall behind schedule this time. We will be running things more strictly in order to facilitate this.

And yes, the only drivers required should be for the mouse. USB rate changers are the most frequent cause of problems, so I think (hope) we'll be banning them this time around.
Just set 500hz beforehand?
Parent
Some people, such as me, don't use it, so that would screw those who don't want it. It should also be noted that it really makes pretty much no difference (I wouldn't care if I had to play with it, but others might).
Parent
Also fix the LAN-Server the last server were shit. They had rate of 13000 at LAN. Isn't 25000 the best?:o
Parent
Yeah - that was probably an oversight in the config.
Parent
Its a huuuuuge diffrence for people that use older mice like me (MS 3.0 and 1.1 come to my mind). I get terrible negative accl. with 125hz :(.
Parent
"no difference at all" :DD

instead u should ban everyone who manages to crash the pc
Parent
It makes a huge difference for older mice, just as drago said. It's simply an advantage for ppl with some new high priced glowing mice that got that implented in the drivers already.

Just force ppl to use the USBMrs1.1 or something exe, which requires a reboot before it works.
Or maybe, just a maybe, they have finally managed to setup the PCs correctly that the Raziel fix works (like it does on 99,99% of all PCs)
Parent
I have never seen the realtime fix work ever on any PC. It has always, with 100% record, screwed the PC completely - at least to the extent that it disabled all USB devices and required me to reset the drivers with a PS/2 keyboard. You can tell people not to use it, but the fact the option is there means that someone almost certainly will, if only by accident.

The non-realtime option normally works, but due to the catastrophic impact it has on schedules if it doesn't, I strongly feel it should be completely disallowed.
Parent
Like urtier said, maybe force people to use a diffrent one (like USBMrs1.1)
Parent
Seems like I need to stick to this glowing mouse then?
