WHY DOES IT DO THAT.

I think everyone got tired of me and left.

Okay, if this was going to use Physxloader.dll, where would it be?

lol i fixed it.

IT WORK-it crashed.

I just copied a 'physxloader.dll' from another game on my system to the BC install directory

Looks like I'm not the only one either.

Yeah, okay so copying that random .dll to it just broke it. Removed.

It says it needs physixloader.dll but when I download and place it, it just crashes

Tim Stone

@GnomeSlice Eh, PhysX is a NVIDIA thing, so presumably somewhere in `C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation` or your Windows folder.

GnomeSlice

@TimStone I have it though. It runs fine sans-steam without it, and doesn't work either way with it.

Although, it does bring up the splash screen.

Tim Stone

12:16 AM

Hm

GnomeSlice

It has to have something to do with either the windows games folder or the mce .lnk thing

Maybe a config file change?

Can someone torrent these for me, and then upload them somewhere?

alexanderpas

@GnomeSlice > Closed. Sorry.

GnomeSlice

@alexanderpas I don't know what that means.

alexanderpas

@GnomeSlice that was the message I got.

GnomeSlice

At the link, or the torrent?

alexanderpas

12:24 AM

@GnomeSlice at the link.

GnomeSlice

Really? It worked for me...

torrent link address

=[

alexanderpas

seems like there is no torrent program installed on this machine... sorry. (torrent itself was reachable.)

GnomeSlice

I don't even know what a torrent is.

Margaret

@GnomeSlice I'll see if I can, hang on a tick

GnomeSlice

I could tryredownloading it and installing it somewhere else, but I don't think it would help, I've got the file path.

Margaret

12:30 AM

@GnomeSlice There may be no-one to download it from, is the problem. I'll see if it comes through.

GnomeSlice

Likely won't help anyway.

But thanks. =]

Someone here said to download DirectX9.0c I'll try that.

Urgh, 95 mb.

^ Is there a config parameter I could change to fix it maybe?

Pubby

you could have just pasted the text

GnomeSlice

I suppose that would have made more sense.

use control-k to format it

GnomeSlice

Wait, win32?

I'm running 64-bit Win7 I think.

I am, I mean.

Margaret

12:38 AM

@GnomeSlice But if it's Steam it's probably installed as an x86 application anyway, isn't it?

Pubby

what are you trying to do?

Tim Stone

@GnomeSlice It's just a group name for Windows versus the other options.

Margaret

(Haven't been watching the entire conversation)

GnomeSlice

@Pubby Add it to my steam library as a non-steam game, and have it work.

Q: Are female gang members also hos?

I've been working on some assassination missions, and started tracking The Big Time, Baby.. I went into Espina, and started killing a bunch of Morningstar members. I got up to a 5-star notoriety with them, so I certainly believe I had fulfilled that part of the task. While killing the mornings...

Thanks, but I think I'm going to have to give up.

These "what should my character build be" type Skyrim questions make me sad

Bethesda put a lot of effort into making it so you can play how you want wthout worrying about that stuff

GnomeSlice

@DaveMcClelland What catch?

Dave McClelland

@GnomeSlice Oh, the wording in "not the hos I was looking for" was intentional :)

GnomeSlice

Oh, right. What's that a reference to, exactly?

:P

Dave McClelland

12:49 AM

@GnomeSlice Not sure if serious?

GnomeSlice

@DaveMcClelland Er... I probably know what it is, but don't remember?

Dave McClelland

@GnomeSlice youtube.com/watch?v=vzcWPKAv2Ow

GnomeSlice

I'm sure I'll recognize it when you say it.

Oh, Star Wars, right?

Dave McClelland

@GnomeSlice Yep

GnomeSlice

Downloading DirectX, can't stream, just saw the title.

Phantom Menace?

lol

I never remember which movie quotes are from.

Dave McClelland

12:51 AM

A New Hope

GnomeSlice

Right..That one is... uh...

The... fifth?

Dave McClelland

Episode 4

GnomeSlice

Oops.

x_x

Dave McClelland

Close enough

1, 4, 5... they're pretty much all the same

GnomeSlice

Everyone gets mad when I say the Phantom Menace was my favourite.

Dave McClelland

12:53 AM

Eh... it was the first one that had Jar Jar, so people have a special hate in their heart for it

GnomeSlice

...I love Jar-Jar... The Gungans were my favourite species.

Dave McClelland

Well, then I can see why you would like it

GnomeSlice

To be honest, he's pretty silly, but the actually race of Gungans was done really well, I think.

Dave McClelland

To each his own, I guess

GnomeSlice

Don't you agree though?

Dave McClelland

12:55 AM

Yeah, I can see what you mean by that

GnomeSlice

As an alien species, they were very alien.

Dave McClelland

If anyone has 12.5 minutes to kill, this is a pretty good way to do it

GnomeSlice

What a waste of time. That did absolutely nothing.

It occurred to me as I was driving around today that there's a bunch of elevated train tracks in Steelport, (you can see some from the helipad of Saints HQ, for example) but I don't think I've ever ridden a train or even seen one anywhere, and I don't remember seeing any train stations.

there's been an uptick with the hat dash, but I don't think it's enough to push it over 100 questions.

@Fredy31 200, but it ignores points for accepted answers

@DaveMcClelland the cap only applies to up votes
