Too bad. Reinstall. Are you getting an error message with that.

[Ganymed]

I have another question (crack for 1.02 works fine here, by the way, playing under win2000 sp4):

Has anybody seen a TRAINER for this game (ver. 1.02) ??? difficulty is very high in my opinion and can be rather frustrating. this savepoint system adds to the frustration.

groups like Pizzadox are trainer experts, arent they. I wonder if they are going to create a trainer

could someone help me out? i'm having a really annoying problem with vegas... i played it several days ago without any problems whatsoever on a clean installation and now the game doesn't start at all... i've tried reinstalling twice now to no avail. and i've tried all the various forms of NO CD patches out there for ver 1.0, 1.01, and 1.02 and the game doesn't start. whenever i try to run the game i can see my computer is trying to run something because the light on my case flashes but after a while it stops and when i check task manager, it doesn't show up under applications, but it DOES show up under processes just sitting there idly... strange thing is it doesn't lag my computer by eating up memory either... it says it takes up like 100,000K but my computer runs as if it's not even there

Do you use YASU 1.05 Before you started your game. Turn that on and off a couple times. Nothing shows up in WTM processes but it something is hanging. I'm guessing you've done a reboot as well. ? Also double check your firewall to make sure it hasn't blocked it.

@Haunted ...

I had the same setup as you when I bought this game. What I did is went and got myslelf a Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB RAM with Shader Model 3 (Needed for Vegas) for £90 and sold the Radeon 9600 for £40. Cool Eh?

"Want some super speedy framerate tips...well do you?
Well you can't blame master_chief for being rude.................nope joking. Here goes.

*NOTE* these tips only work with V-Sync OFF....OFF I SAID

For nvidia cards
1. Download and install the latest NVIDIA ForceWare drivers.
2. Download and install the "Coolbits2" registry tweak:
Coolbits 2
(To install, unzip then double-click the .reg file to apply the registry mod)
3. Go to Control Panel -> Display -> Settings tab -> Advanced -> GeForce XXXX (your card model)
4. Expand "Performance & Quality Settings"
5. Click on "Additional Direct3D Settings"
6. Change "Max Frames to render ahead" from 3 to 0. 1 seems a very good setting.
7. Click "Apply" then "OK" to exit the settings page.

For ATI

For ATI users, you can adjust the 'Flip Queue' setting which is the equivalent setting to the one above by installing and using ATI Tray Tools. The same values apply to both cards.
Download ATI Tray Tools
Adjust same as Nvidia. Try a Flip Queue of 1 then 0 and see what's better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Locate
Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\KellerGame\Config\PC\KellerEngine.ini
If you installed to a different directory just locate
KellerGame\Config\PC\KellerEngine.ini
People will tell you to edit othe ini files but only KellerEngine.ini has any direct effct on the game engine. The others are for default bootups.

AS ALWAYS BACKUP KellerEngine.ini BEFORE HACKING!

As this is based on the Unreal engine there are a few speedy tweaks we can do, alot actually.

locate the lines

UseTrilinear=True
LevelOfAnisotropy=4

change them to

UseTrilinear=False
LevelOfAnisotropy=2

or you could

UseTrilinear=True
LevelOfAnisotropy=1

I think you all get the gist with that one.

Locate

bUsePostProcessEffects=True

change to

bUsePostProcessEffects=False

Turns off the stupid framerate sapping bloom\blur effects

Locate

UserMaxTextureSize=4096

Change

UserMaxTextureSize=2048

Texture resolutions. 4096 is very high. Too high for 256 meg cards. 1024 might even work. Always work in multiples of 64.

locate

ShadowBufferResolution=1024

change

ShadowBufferResolution=512

Shadow resolution. Will look blocky but your framerate will improve. "

I tried these tweaks and they help quite a bit without noticing any quality reduction. Framerates much better.

stop updating and use the crack from GCW v1.0 it works
Thats what companies want to do is corrupt your computer and game

There is no such thing as Rainbow Six Ghost Recon. You must be thinking of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter!

Well, the names are often mixed up. AFAIK the Ghost Recon Series is inspired by Tom Clancy, but not placed in the Rainbow Six universe. But I might be wrong here ;-D

There are several games released under the Ghost Recon label. Have a look at this Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancy%27s_Ghost_Recon

The german article has got some more informations about Ghost Recon 2 and 3 series:

I've patched up to 1.03, using the No-CD no problem. Have used several tweaks for shadows, blur settings set to off. Still getting F-Up frame rates. Pretty cool game except when I have a mexican terrorists come up on me and I turn to shoot him with my combat shotgun and its like I'm on acid or something as the gun goes in slow motion right past him. My 6600 isn't cutting it anymore.
