New add-on 'crawlers for 1NSANE

[daxe]

agreed on screamer 4x4..the most realistic game as far as offroading goes. Makes 4x4EVO2 feel like an arcade game.

What windows do you guys have for these games. Cause I have Windows XP and I have a hard time to find a game that is compatable. For example the game the Sims played fine on my computer but other programs ran like $hit and as soon as I uninstalled it the other programs were good again. I mainly want to know for the games 1nsane and Screamer4x4.

IM using XP pro on one computer and XP home on the other. XP uses a pretty good amount of system resources just running itself, so if you dont have much memory, you might be having a problem that way. I wouldnt suggest trying to run XP with less than 256 meg. MOre than that is better.

You could also shut off system restore, which tends to eat up lots of resources in the background. There's a GREAT set of pages to tweak XP for performance here:

try out this guy's suggestions for killing off unneeded services and setting up alternative hardware configs.

Also..since you said you "uninstalled" XP, it leads me to believe that when you installed it, you did an "upgrade" install by installing it over your preexisting operating system. That is never the best way to do things. You shoudl always do a clean install. A lot of people dont know that you can use the upgrade CD to do a clean install of XP (or any other version of windows) as either your only operating system, or with XP, to set up a nice dual boot system automatically. So if you want the benefits of XP for one thing or another but want to hang onto your Win9x installation for some other reason, you can just choose which to run when you start or reboot the computer.

XP runs great and runs all my games great. Its very stable for everything else, too. Make sure you have updated drivers for your video and sound card while you are at it.

You can email me for help wiith some of this stuff if you want.

Cheers for Screamer 4x4, bought it off of ebay for 6 dollars!
The physics are rather realistic. Climbing a hill off camber with a locker
in the rear will swing the rear around, too much tire spin, same thing.
Cool game, graphics are kinna silly though, not too complicated.
NO SAMURAI!!

Thanx for the info. I didn't uninstall windows, I uninstalled The Sims. I am running 512mb memory. But when I did the Sims I only had 256mb. I'll have to see what happens.
