lol, So I did not want to say that he should look for a single core, but that he should not buy an i7 with 8 cores and less frequenzy, if he had more of four cores with higher frequency ...

therefore you should look what you have for a ram and how much it is ... if your pc was 8 years old, the memory will not fit into a new computer or be so slow that he will slow down the entire computer. in the picture is on the sticker a line that contains "2gb pc2-6400u-666". a similar line would have to be on your memory. When I am at home I can look for a computer but I usually leave something like this for a few weeks and compare because otherwise you automatically make mistakes somewhere or spend too much money.

You have to think about whether you want more clockrate or more cores. For old programs like pr, it does not matter how many "cores" a processor has because pr can only use one. if you want to do different things at the same time (internet, multimedia, at the same time a bluray rip and skype eg) you need more cores so that the individual programs can be distributed. are you mainly doing something with one program and that is not designed for multi-core technology then only a higher frequency will give you a speed boost. At home I have an i3 with 3.3 or 3.8 ghz but only 2 cores and 4 threats. my laptop has an i7 processor with 4 cores and 8 threats but 2.4 ghz. For PR, HD movies, rendering in c4d and normal operation, my i3 is faster. with after effects and cubase my i7 is advantageous because these programs can use several cores for themselves... amd is much cheaper than intel. but many people do not like amd and swear on intel, which in my opinion is groundless. since you do not want to do any video editing, rendering or animations, you should not care. I have a 1050ti. It can not do any miracles but it is oversized for normal operation. since this video card I can play pr with full details without lags.

First look for a CPU and then for the associated mobo and the graphics card. if you take an intel the graphics would be onboard. with an i5, that would also be enough for pr. if you take an amd (which are cheaper) you still have to plan a graphics card. since the cpu, graphics and memory are barely set limits you should call an approximate buget before you can say something. with an 8-year-old computer you would also have to check if the power supply, memory and hard disks are still usable. If you put your old memory into a new computer, it will probably slow it down. the power supply could be too weak ... it makes sense to see exactly what you have on components and what is still usable and think about what you want to do your new computer. then you can start to put something together. or you buy a complete system, which is sometimes cheaper.

^^you mean something like this: ASRock X399 Taichi/64GB G.Skill Trident DDR4-3600/AMD Ryzen TR 1950X/960GB Kingston KC1000 NVMe M.2/512GB ADATA XPG GAMMIX M.2/2x 6000GB WD Red/11GB Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti thats my new computer... the stupid thing is that it is only for work ;( but just for PR and some multimedia, the computer can also be cheaper than $ 800 I think ...unless it has to be a laptop.

then try to boot in safe mode. if in your bios "restart at bluescreen" is activated, then you may not even see him ... If you can start it in safe mode, you should look in the Event Viewer what happened and what he currently has for errors. (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer )

oh, no... just kidding. welcome back.

ah, ok. that make sense... thanks for the info.

As you can see in the picture, we just had someone in our squadchannel who was not on the server. He could not fly and was always asking for a medic, so it was probably on another PR server. Was not a real problem, but would be intreressant to know if this is known ... edit: weird. now he is on our server...

the map is not playable. If you have spawned the screen went black and the game called you to drop the kit. There were also weird graphics...

thats one of the best endscreens i ever seen...^^

the only picture which is not really funny, but I still have to laugh.

try renaming the picture and upload again. I think the forum saves somewhere quick views and this one is broken... if it still does not work, you have to throw salt over your left shoulder and pray three rosaries backwards. Of course, only at full moon.

btw: how many memory bars do you have at 4 gb? if it is only one, you use only half of the usable bandwidth. It always makes sense to have the same amount of memory on two or four benches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-channel_memory_architecture#Dual-channel_architecture I am just not sure if that does matter with 32bit ...

I had forgotten that ^^ hmm, then i would do a memtest. and also look into the log of pr ... Edit: have a look at this: http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr-bf2-support/112852-windows-7-32-bit-crash.html http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr-bf2-support/106709-32bit-xp-vista-7-fix-memory-errors-allow-applications-use-2gb-ram.html

when your genius technician got money from you, break his kneecaps;) you can not update windows from 32 to 64bit. nothing helps except to reinstall. what was the problem, why you have reinstalled? I am not sure if this has something to do with your error. that could also be a defective memory.... Edit: if you have more than 4gb ram but win running with 32 bit, it might be because of PR messes up the memory management of windows. win x 32bit systems can only manage ram up to 4gb.

an important point! then it has nothing to do with internet / fw / dns or anything like that. I remember that I had a similar problem at bf2 times. it was up to eax. I had an onboardsoundcard (which, of course, met all standarts like eax, dts, ac3) with this I never had any problems. but whenever I have used a semi-professional audio interface (in this case a motu ultralite mk3) which of course does not meet the dolby- and creativ-standards crashes the game when entering ... always when you heard the first game sounds. I had to select the onboard sound card and then disable under options eax. then I could use the motu ... maybe that helps.

ping means the time that your computer needed to get an answer from a certain counterpart. in this case the vg-server. if your computer is not overwhelmed then it can actually be only the internet connection, a cheap router or a bad wireless lan. if you are not using a cable, try it or try another one (cat.5 or better if you have a long distance). otherwise a bad connection is the most likely reason. if you use other programs such as skype, outlook, facebook, updatetools, torrentclients, browser or anything else that needs performance and / or internet, that can also be the reason ... if i make a hotspot with my cellphone i can easily play pr. if I run Skype at the same computer, my ping goes up. when i run Skype on another computer or the mobile itself my ping is till 25 and 75.

Because you still have no electricity? ;P This is not a real problem. That's why I thought it was a joke in the beginning ...

no, not my lamp flickers ... if you record something with 24/25 fps (cinema), and you hold into a lamp or a monitor with 60hz running then you see it flickering on the film. the same, only weaker, would happend if you take something with 25fps but just 47hz are on the power network. but you are right... I have just read it. but only clocks are affected. Since this is not permanent, but at peak and then only for a few moments, it has hardly any other impact. In Germany, this is probably the case in badly populated areas. the limit should be 24hz. Everything under it is perceived as flickering. That's because of the sluggishness of your eyes.

lol, this is a joke ... that would mean that you can no longer make video recordings if you use a lamp because then you see the flickering ^ ^

before you reinstall everything you can try if it works if your firewall and your antivirus program are disabled (your router has a firewall, too). if it does then you have to create exceptions in the firewall. but you should not forget to reactivate everything if you are done.

could it be because someone made the earth flat?

the newest ever! I'm looking forward to the next update ... maybe vg should schedule a daily update procedure ^ ^

thnx, but have a coffee first;)
