I will be posting information on the community driven FEAR tournament for rAge 2007 here before and during rAge 2007. Before the tournament begins I will post a link to a seperate page which will allow you to apply to participate in this tournament so you can be registered in the roster.

I will still be hosting the NAG Forums FEAR server at rAge 2007 and the tournament will be held on it.

Shall you have any questions, suggestions or complaints about the tornament or server please post them here.

Oh, thank you Miktar. Very nice forums to put the post on. Lol.

Wow, that is an awesome pic! N1, how'd u take that?

[Frozenfireside]

You know I keep being disconnected? That freezes everthing. I can run round the level and people are standing still but their legs are moving.

ps. I recently read on bluesnews that the performance issues some people experience on FEAR was due to certain USB keyboards and mouses (mice?), including Logitech. So if anyone is experiencing performance issues, that might be the problem.

[Frozenfireside]

Linkey-I own a logitech KB and I'm having issues with it and windows.

[Scorp1on]

PS: Its mouses brazed. :D

That happens to me vary rarely, and I have a PS/2 KB and Mouse

"You get a BIG drop in performance because you have one of these
device in any games that uses FEAR engine :
- G5 Mouse ?
- G7 Mouse ?
- G15 Keyboard ?

Here is the solution for you :

Go in "Device Manager"
Expand "Human Interface Devices"

Disable all "HID-compliant device"
where Hardware Ids begin by :

"HID\Vid_046d&Pid_c041&..."

How will you know the Hardware Ids ?

- Right click on the device and select "Properties"
- Switch to Details Tab
- Select Hardware Ids Property in the drop-down list

Enjoy! "
