Another FEAR question...

[BowlofRice]

I figured it was phoning home, which is why it reminded me of Steam. However the window's firewall had never prompted me to unblock it, so I assumed it was blocked. That assumption proved wrong, as it was on the "exceptions" list.

Though after reblocking it, it still prompts me to update. I dunno if it's to late to stop now that it's already checked once...

Edit: It would seem that unchecking the box does not tell windows firewall to stop allowing that program from accessing the internet, in fact all those checkboxes seem to do is tell windows weather or not that box is checked or not. I guess those checkboxes are cosmetic or are there to give you the illution of internet security. However after deleating both FEAR.exe and fpudate.exe from the exceptions list it stopped prompting me to update. It also stoped all the intro movies from playing. 3 birds and one stone! Thank you for the assistance.

Nevertheless you find your solution and peace with this one,
I would still recommend to use a third party firewal.
Not the Microsoft one.

There are many freeware firewalls out there... waiting for
you to download them. Give it a try.

I use Zonealarm for example.

hey guys, tried surching for this problem, came up with nothing .. so im hoping someone can help me.

I installed fear, got it all working .. used a no cd crack, and all .. but when i go to load the game, its black. I can hear music, and see the cursior when i move it .. but thats all.

Read the read me file to see what was up, unintalled the codex i had, updated my driver. Did almost everything that i thought you could do. Still not working.

Any ideas?
