Playing with the Steam version. I haven't updated my video drivers since I got the card a few weeks ago, so I'll try that. This is something I've noticed throughout my entire play history though, (I always noticed that multiplayer gamers were choppier than single player - I thought it was just lag.)...

I go from 60-80 to 15-30.

I've been playing 15-30 all this time, just thinking that was normal... heh.

So is there no solution other than to keep the chat window minimized?

When the chat window is up, I literally lose about 50 frames per second. I have a dual core AMD 64 (3800+ I believe), an 8800 GTS, and two gigs of PC 4800 RAM (or something similar - been a while since I've checked my specs, lol). Is this a known problem that I just now noticed? If so, is there a fi...

I was dumb and should have counter launched. Too busy trying to get kills on SA. That's my play style though - I like to kill. LOL I tried to tell Africa to backstab you almost as soon as Ace launched (I'm not dumb, just bad) but he was being slow about it. It's too bad, because he might have gotten...

FYI whenever I start a server it's usually called LULZCON 2007.

I tend to alias as the first name of politicians (ie, Donald, Dick, and Josef) as well.

I'd like to play with some regs here, just wondering when you all are on and playing!

Ah, cool! I took a few years of French in high school. I, of course, suck at it.

One last question - do bombers ever run out of fuel like fighters do?

I've never heard of AZERTY...

I can't seem to land fighters from my airbases on to my carriers as sea... usually it just deselects my base and selects my carrier instead.

Is there some kind of trick to it?

Any idea when we can expect a patch? I'm giddy with excitement.

So, can subs attack enemies in passive sonar, or must they use active sonar in order to attack? Your tips have been helping thus far (in particular the notion of having one carrier for fighters for every two for bombers)! What should the priority for bombers be? Battleships or Cruisers? For that mat...

I'm really terrible at microing naval battles. What should be targeting what? What are fighters good for, what should battleships be targeting, and how EXACTLY do subs work?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Vicarious by Tool is pretty good -- "Becuase I need to watch things die / From a good safe distance / Vicariously / I live while the whole world dies"

I actually like letf-alt + left-shift, but I don't really use either key for any game I play (as I have my hand in the home row position, ala EDSF/.EOU).

Also, thanks for posting the directions -- I meant to do that but it slipped my mind!
