Whilst I have no clue how to fix this by using software, I do recall having the same issue years back. I couldn't figure out a fix so I ended up getting an adapter that could also be used for computers without a soundcard, which for me was something like this: http://www.dansdata.com/images/pc135usb...

Again, have you asked other players using Gamespy Arcade, ChateX or the gckms server browser whether or not they can see your server? If not, it's normal it's not showing up for you, or you have potentially made an error forwarding ports or overlooked other protective software. For the rest, all I r...

Yes, it's normal that you can't see your own server. What matter is that others can see it, so the easiest way to check is to ask someone else online if they can see your server.

Typically, the person hosting the server will be unable to see his own server when using the same network. However, this does not mean others can't. Simply ensure that UDP 8911 and TCP/UDP 19711 are forwarded in both your firewall and your router (if applicable) and it should be visible to all playe...

That looks pretty good, thanks for posting! It does look a bit armored, like thick skinned parts (though I like that re-imagining as vimps now look terrible). The 3 nostril type things do look a bit weird, and so does the pattern on the legs. And Just out of interest, what was your general idea of w...

As all the servers (game/master/chat) are privately hosted, it can happen they crash or otherwise stop working and will be restarted once this catches the attention of the host. Also, please be sure to thank them for their efforts.

Setting up schedueled matches would be cool, maybe could get a full 20 man game going sometime that way. Though getting the time and date through to people who actually play is the hard part. Basically getting people to read forums or send messages about it. As for place, Accus' Giants Dedicated Ser...

The system requirements don't look too impressive for that game. But you are actually able to play it with an integrated video card, which may indicate it also pulls a lot on CPU(?). I'm not sure you will be able to run on max even with a new card, but a GTX260 ($100 on newegg) or an ATI 6770 are go...

What video card do you have now and what games are you hoping to play after you upgrade? My initial response is that that's a pretty old CPU, and fairly slow for today's dual core standards (I don't even know if AM2 socket processors like you have are even still being sold). Perhaps it's a better id...

While the errorlog is just a big collection of complicated words and letters to me, you could try switching to do the dx8 renderer. If you installed 1.497 it should be in your Giants folder, rename it to gg_dx7r.dll and replace it, then start the game. All I know is that this has fixed an issue befo...

I think the general response of veteran players will be a skeptical one. There have been people in the past making all sorts of great promises leading to failure or simple dissapointment by the author. I do recall a group making a serious(?) effort to port the game to the source engine, but in the e...
