My spare puter is an Inspiron 8200. 2gig proc, 1gig ram, GF440 54MB VidCard, ANd cyrstal audio card. Now stat wise the game should run fine since the game is so simple. However when first playing I was getting horrible lag. Now after running some tests I believe the lag comes from the audio card. My...

Sounds to me like they launched everything first. Which brought them into first place but your defences worked to soften the blow as they did not do a very tactical attack (basicaly they launched everything and hoped for the best). Where your team was taking it's time destroying AA batteries to make...

Was just coming over here to sugest such a thing. There have been times when I spot the early signs of an attack and am not sure if my ally seas it yet and want to warn him quickly

I have 2 computers with Defcon installed. With my main comp hosting and the other one joining I notice that the secound one lags allot and gets out of sinc. After doing some poking and proding I realized what was happing was the secound computer was video lagging and stuttering. After playing a bit ...

Always good to keep an AID's computer around.

here's a little trick I learned some poeple hesitate to join empty games so add 2 AI to your game. This will show up as 3 of 6 poeple ingame on the server list so people will join quicker. And as they join remove the AI players.

ONly bombers on the ground (or ones in the air that are carring nukes) Subs with nukes and siloes with nukes are counted towards the nuke count. If a carrier or airbase has stocked nukes but no plans to fly them they do not count. What I have found is the AI will sometimes hold on to a couple missle...

Yea I have problems trying to send them back to base. Most of my fighters are sent out to there max range. with a steady flow of plans behind them. Once they start getting low on fuel I tell them to go home and restrock. However somtimes they find a bogey and asume it is's there dutry to crash and b...

Your probly playing on a speed server where the world is small (half size). You get less room to put stuff down and you get less time to put stuff down (specialy when game is at 20x speed)

I had a simular problem before. Heres what I do now. Make it so team switching is on. And if you run into this problem again switch teams until you find the one that still has nukes. and fire them off.

I have a crystal sound card also (on my laptop) changed the sound and game crashed. trying to start it now and game crashes. The reason I was chaning my sound (wanted to lower it down) becouse I was getting some lag. Now my sound card is old and there have been no driver updates for some time for it...

If you install it on one computer. Transfer the files to anouther computer use the crack. the secound computer would never have starforce installed.

It's a bright yellow flashing nuclear icon. Pretty easy to spot if your desktop is not clutered and you don't have allot of programs running. Just one hey what's that is all it takes to bring down the show.

Yet the discription for this forum is Idea's for exspansions.

I would not be suprized if IV decides they have enough copies of this game sold to make a good profit on an exspansion of his game.

Yea that screen shot was done for showing a ton of nukes going. (to show the curvature of the world) It's normaly not like that. As for the game itself it's a great game if you can get past the horrid bugs, and that is an understatment. The copy protection (Starforce is even worse) however there are...
