naa we not super poor dude.. they have houseing set up for low income tennents. they do rent them out to ppl who work @ full rent i pay half 90 bucks a week for 3 bedroom house. not the flashest of houseing one can hope for but it's a house.. in nz they passed a law that stoped the isp's charging what they liked for BB internet. now each isp has to charge whats fair and give full speed etc etc. long long story a real head banger to read... anyway.. people have moaned about BB being costly for the average user, so yer...the only thing that most users in nz forget expect in some places that have fibre optic cables, is that copper wires are not the bee's knees for surfing the net.. most are so old that it will take over 40 years to replace most of them in nz..
just goes to show ya how bad the lines are here. if you lived next door to the exchange, then ya really getting good quality internet. the office workers in auckland wellington etc have all there fibre optic cable strung up on the power lines that the bus's use and man do they have fast internet wow they fast..i can always go sat internet if i wanted but work wont allow me to..

90 bucks a week? WOW. I pay 2,800 a month for my house! 90 bucks a week won't get you a refrigerator box where I come from. Ill take crappy internet any day of the week if I only had to pay 90 bucks a week for my house. Hell I spend that in food!

2800 a month?? man thats bad.... any thing close to that would get me a brand new house at 500a week, lots of people are builing new houses and renting them out just to get the bank paid back.. at least i have a big back yard to stick the boat in and let my porkchop run around.. dam caint wait for summer to come around proper... cause it be marlin time ...

Well I do own my house. But if I were paying rent it would be around 1800 a week.

 

[fishnchips]

1800??? man thats bloody outragous....what would the house be like? 10 bedrooms with spa and sun room?? wow you must live the high life dude

well firstly - hes a mailman.
secondly - did u ever have something valuble get lost in the post???

if you managed to put 2&2 togther - yeah id say being a mailman has its perks - speaking of which, mailman probably wears a hawian shirt. has a moushe & drives a Red Ferrari 308GT.......

 

[fishnchips]

LOL

 

[TheMailMan78]

Well I'm not really a mail man. Its just my nickname because I always "deliver" on time. I got it years ago. To be honest I'm a pro illustrator. I do ok for myself money wise but my house is FAR from 10 bedrooms. Whats funny is I wear hawian shirts everyday. Including now I have a mustache and my neighbor has a Red Ferrari 308GT!

I live in Miami. A cheap house in a bad neighborhood runs close to $200,000. If anyone wants to live in south Florida my house is for sale

 

[fishnchips]

I thought if ya living in miami your either in vice squad or old people or cuban drug runners lol lol
just kidding,
Ferrari is old mans car.. what ya need is a Lamborghini now thats a car style and speed and looks even better with a blonde in the front seat lol lol lol
im glad your working hard and getting paid for it. hard enough to get decent work that pays well these days. it's ok to own your own house, its another to have it paid off under time, what with all the bank's owning every thing. i would rather rent than own, being australian from brisbane i'll wait till i get back to oz and get me a bach near the beach, so i can launch the boat and fish till im 110 years old the house prices these days are thru the roof disgusting indeed.
oh and i also wear a mustache and wear a shirt that say's. " I only act dumb so i can get dates with blondes"

I have this strange error when im trying to start the game - "Error during initialization: Unhandled exception caught" - never seen some thing like this. I have tried reinstalling it but no luck. This is a legal copy. Can someone help me on this issue?

I haven't heard this one before. Have you tried a reinstall?

yes...

 

[TheMailMan78]

yes...

lol. Sorry I didn't catch that. When you reinstalled did you clean out the registry? Also did you ever have the beta installed?

 

[Zebatshu]

Yes did a registry scan with CCleaner and fix the issues. I have never installed the beta.

 

[fishnchips]

Sounds like a video card error, when trying to initial drivers, update drivers and check the sound card has updated drivers to..then try and start it again...

 

[TheMailMan78]

Fish is right. Make sure all of your drivers are up to date. Also you DX. FYI CCleaner isnt the best when it comes to a registry scanner. I use this. Iv never had an issue with it and you would be surprised how much CCleaner misses.

 

[Zebatshu]

Reinstalling CCC didn't work for me but I fixed it kindof... On a local form i read its a sound issue, and some ppl have reported by changing the sound sample rate in windows to 44kHz fixes it but i had no luck, but when i changed my settings back to default the game worked (PCM 192KHz). So it seems like a sound issue after all. Changing the sound sample rate "fixes" it, strange but it works for me.

Mail man, i don't roll with da dollars . Being in Africa forces me to go down the open source/freeware path, software is way to expensive down here. Do you know of any other free scanners that is better than CCleaner?

 

[fishnchips]

I was wondeing if that was the problem after all. cause lots of problems arise from the sound. ive never had any problem with sound etc etc. just plug in and play well the sound card was causeing IO errors every so offen seams i caint have a x16 snd card in a x8 slot

Its a bit sad theyve taken an 'EA' approach rather then gathering enough material make it into & sell it as a full on expansion pack available in all gaming retail stores instead. - if its just map packs - make it free to download.


I cant tell you how much i Despised EA for releasing expansion packs for 'ONLINE DOWNLOAD ONLY' that i could never get because i dont have a credit/debit card. I really loved BF2. but releasing 'online only' expansion packs like that is a real onesided affair & if anything more Disrespectful to those who bought the game in the retail store, then cant join the rest of the world in playing what is supposedly a great expansion which everyone has left to join. my 'Gunner' who I spent like a life time flying him around in jets & choppers actually left me to go play Armored Fury. Me & this guy made a great team. but he enjoyed A.F a lot more then the standard game.

 

[fishnchips]

are they makeing a cod5 map pack for online download only and have to pay for it?

 

[TheMailMan78]

I'm sure it will be for DL. However I doubt us PC users will pay for it. Remember CoD4 map packs were free courtesy of Nvidia.
