Oops ... they just never got uploaded. Fixed.

With all the new skins available at CA it would be great to know which ones you guys like to use. To select or try a new skin locate the skin drop down box in the lower left corner (footer) of any page on the site. Skin choices will remain until you select a new skin and can be used site wide regardless of the theme. Drop your favorite in the poll above. E

Copy courtesy of Fallen Earth - IcarusStudios It’s been a month since early access launched, we’ve done patches, major optimizations and are finally able to catch our breath a bit. We’re seeing consistently strong sales and building a great community. We figured this would be a good time to address some questions and give everyone an update on where we are and where we’re going. We’re currently testing our first big patch 1.1.0 which includes one of our patented wall of patch notes. For those of you who have been tirelessly helping in New Player Chat, your job is about to get easier! We’re adding an extended training area into each starter town so folks can learn more about basics like crafting, harvesting, buying and using mounts, how to use mail and other essential skills. We also reorganized town events like the Embry Monster Hunt to have a better flow, although you may be too busy fighting off zombies in our Halloween event to notice our many pages of bug fixes and tweaks. Stay tuned for more details on that soon! Following patch 1.1.0, we will work to resolve issues related to accessing promotional items cross-character on user accounts in addition to a few quick bug fixes. We’re also working on more content in the levels 32–35. You’ll also see upgrades to the updater, significantly cutting down on the “Collating Data” phase and helping with some of our European download rates. The following patch, 1.2.0, will include an increased focus on group-oriented and social content, such as camps, that we’ve heard players want. Obviously there’s a lot of info to unpack in this patch but you’ll see more on that in the coming weeks and months. We keep a pretty consistent presence on the forums and general chat to see how the community is doing and want to let you know we hear you. We want to use this opportunity to weigh in on some topics that seem to come up a lot: • Fast Travel: Long term, we will likely have some manner of fast travel between sectors (probably barter town to barter town). Once we get to areas such as Sector 5, traveling back to the beginning sectors will be a HUGE pain in the butt (imagine traveling about twice the length of the existing game). Although fast travel is further down the road, when it does get set up it will be limited, expensive, and between a very strict number of settlements. • Respec: We will probably have some manner of very limited respec options in the future. What would like to help the people who spend a few points wrong and want to fix those mistakes, not folks who want to rebuild their whole character. The specifics are still up in the air, but it will be expensive, slow, and limited. • Box Sales: We acknowledge the difficulty some folks have had trying to acquire a physical box copy from their local retailer. We are working hard with our distributor to remedy those situations and open up new channels for folks to buy including the ability to buy directly from www.fallenearth.com. We are incredibly pleased with how our first month has gone. We’ve overcome a number of hurdles and seen a great response from the community. You make our game great. Keep evangelizing Fallen Earth and letting the world know about your new home. Bang down the doors of retailers and let them know they need Fallen Earth on their shelves. You are the lifeblood of this company and we need you to help spread the word. Thank you for making Fallen Earth great! :: READ MORE ::

Hey everyone - Bugz0r hunting season is officially open. With the last round of upgrades that I just finished today I'd like to start getting some feedback from everyone. Please post here and let me know if you are having any problems related to the site that include: 1) Functionality (is it working like it should without errors) 2) Look and Feel (is the skin set you're using working like it should) 3) Reliability (are the pages loading fast enough and are you getting any error messages) 4) Anything else that should be noted. Thank you for your help. A thousand eyes can debug faster than me anyday. E

One small problem here. For you to hear a sound file on your computer speakers you have to download the file for your computer to play. So a "preview" mode would cause double downloads if we passed one to your browser cache and then one to your computer for use. I would think a modified preview of "x" amount of seconds from a sound mod might be handy but since we just don't have that many sound files I can't see the request justifying the effort. Thank you for the suggestion!

In the ‘Look & Feel’ video, now available at www.flashpointgame.com, key dev team members discuss just how far they’ve gone to ensure that Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will take you as close to war as you’ll ever want to get. “When we were doing the motion capture for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, we went to incredible lengths to get the real guns” explains Executive Producer Sion Lenton. “This is because the weight of the guns can actually affect the way the animation looks.” “Every vehicle in Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has its own characteristics: look, handling, turnout, weaponry and so on,” Lenton continues. “Everything from the smallest jeep to the largest chopper has a completely different handling experience.” Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will set the new standard for sandbox shooters when it arrives October 6th (US) / 8th (EPAC) / 9th (UK) for the Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, and PC.

Looks like an Asian Leopard Cat or possibly something not considered fully domesticated. I dunno but from the size of that catch I'd sleep with one eye open.

I found it. :yes:

and now?

In the meantime I think we should get you set up with a forum or whatever you need so you have some place to call your own that you can show your wares. What do you think? E

Hmmm well if Pol ports over DirectX to Linux (which is what CFS3 and MSFS both use) then I'll buy the man a month's worth of beer.

Can you verify this is resolved? Thanks. E

Can you verify this is resolved? Thanks. E

Can you check the full editor on your end and advise? It appears resolved here. Thanks.

No easy answer here other than I will get it fixed. Standby and I'll keep you advised. Thanks. E

Thanks! ... I'll catch this sometime today. E

I've never used AVIRA but ... False positives based on heuristic scanning happen quite a bit. Scan engines and definitions work on the principle of if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it must be a duck. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Hence the term "false positive". I would highly recommend since the service is available that you report the false positive to AVIRA so they can update their scan engine. You can do that here through their online submit form: AVIRA Sample Submission While I was digging around AVIRA I also noticed a removal tool that's free and independent of any A/V. I would be interested to see what their removal tool detects and reports for you. You can get a copy of it here: AVIRA Removal Tool For those of you that enjoy using Internet Explorer (IE) for browsing I would highly recommend you at least consider the followiing. A) Keep your IE software up to date and current, flush the browser cache routinely. Personal recommendation is to not keep a cache at all as you can set in the IE options for IE to clear the cache when the browser window is closed. * From IE // Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > Scroll down to security section and check "Empty Temporary Internet Files ..." > Click Apply B) Keep your Java updated and remove older versions from your machine (add/remove software). Also here again make sure the cache is cleaned regularly or turned off as Java allows configuration of its cache settings. * Update your Java // Control Panel > Open "Java" Control Panel > Update Tab > Check For Update > Install if update found * Set Java's Temporary Internet Files // Control Panel / Open "Java" Control Panel > General Tab > Temporary Internet Files - Click "Settings" > Untick box to keep files at top of window * Check latest version of Java running in IE // Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > Scroll down to Java section and make sure the latest Java is selected > Click Apply C) Check out Windows Defender. It's a good way to protect your MicroSoft products. * Windows Defender D) Strongly consider using a more secure and compliant browser like FireFox. * Get FireFox E) At the very least make sure you check the IE Browser Add-Ons and remove (disable) anything you don't recognize which includes removing tool bars. * In IE // Tools > Manage Addons > Disable as necessary F) Keep your module files clean and updated. You may safely remove all module files and when they are needed again your system will download and install current versions. You can access your plugin module files in IE * IE // Tools > Internet Options > General Tab > Click "Settings" in the Browsing History Section > On pop-up window for temp internet files and history Click "View Objects" > Remove files in this view window as necessary or right click them and update them if you recognize them as being used often. * :: Usually these files are stored in C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\ G) Keep your OS Updated by using Microsoft Update regularly. Check this yourself and don't rely on the automated system as it can be disabled by malware. For a further diagnosis of your file system if you are unable to find and remove the TR/DropperGen.Trojan I recommend the following: Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) * Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. * At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following: o Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware o Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware * Then click Finish. * If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. * Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan. * When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. * Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. * When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note) * The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM. * Copy and Paste the entire report in your next reply. Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Good luck. E

... yeah we stole her from the circus. Congrats and Happiest of Happiest! E

It appears we've found another bug ... Yes we were down for some time this afternoon, mainly with database issues. The server stayed online but under heavy load due to a MYSQL panic. I've repaired the corrupt tables and restored the database content (thank goodness for the backup procedures I put in place). There was no loss in data, but during the restore process I had to shut off the apache (web) server because the continuous connections to the database were making restoring it impossible. Sorry about that. No the down time was not due to anyone maliciously attacking our equipment or service. Thank you for your patience. E

Some might say that what can be perceived as an oversight is also the genius to the ThirdWire series. The extreme mod'ability is what makes it highly desirable to the degree that this entire community rallies behind it.
