If you have a software firewall (e.g. Norton), the first time you attempt to access the net, it will prevent the program (UCMP.EXE) from doing so. When the warning pops up, allow it to do so and if there is an option to allows the program to access the Internet (as in Norton Personal Firewall), be sure to select it so that you are not prompted next time. Because the game runs in fullscreen mode, you may have problems continuing after it loses focus to the firewall program. In this case, once you have set the firewall to allow the game to access the net, quit the game, then restart. Now that it is configured, you won't be prompted again. In the case of a hardware firewall (e.g. in your router), you still have to open the ports listed in the game's troubleshooting FAQ. If you have both a hardware and software firewall, you have to configure BOTH of them as indicated.

hehe, I was thinking the same thing. n00bs, what can you do?

Yeah, thats because they are different models, with turrets in different places.

There's plenty of freeware tools around to verify checksums (at least the most common ones) and it'd enable people to verify whether the problem is indeed a corrupt download or not. You know, thats a good idea. I'll try and get that done today.

You guys are absolutely going to piss yourself laughing when you read this. Scroll down to the second post with images. Then read the captions on the images.

I have rebooted all four servers

LMAO!!! "It's weird when they put their arms around me," she replies, "but then I feel them shaking and I'm like, whatever, if it's so important to you . . . it's funny when guys come up to me and tell me that it's their first time touching a girl." I swear that wasn't me!! I wasn't even there!!

LMAO!!!

Interesting. Looks like I'm going to have to check the Florida labor laws to see if I can sue myself.

Night vision goggles!!! Oh man, very soon they'll be breaking out the silenced MP5's.

Dunno, you might have a bad patch download. And no, you don't need ANY RCs. There are only TWO patches available for the game. You might want to start from scratch and use them BOTH.

Lawsuit: Google Stole Orkut Code

Yeah, I'm in an active discussion about this very same thing right now.

That, you get to blame on the people who work for him. I fail to see how the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq can be regarded as a bad thing. At the end of the day - to me - the end justifies the means; whether one likes Bush or not. Going to war is a sacrifice one makes. No matter whose war it is. And with all conflicts, come casualties. The world is a MUCH better place today for wars like WW1, WW2 and the imaginary (only because it didn't play out like a full fledged war) Cold War. All I can do is thank the brave men and women who get to make these decisions and put others in harm's way. Hell, I'm glad I don't have to live with it.

He's a racist idiot, then?

heh who didn't see this coming?

And I here I was thinking Google was the culprit. Thanks LIS (OK, that didn't sound right, did it?)

Oh boy. I had no idea. How'd you find this stuff?

Well, I just got into the office with several post reports (one from Denny) about some cracker (aka Flint) who posted this in two threads. But the admins/mods had already taken care of it. Funny thing is, he also sent this same thing to both the devteam and support email addresses. I did a search and found out who he is code: Troy Willig / Willig Piano Services A-1 Piano Service and Sales AAA Piano Services Service>316-554-1764 Tunings>316-788-5844 [email protected] Here is the post.

I spent over 12 hours trying to figure out this pathetically stupid (piece-of-s**t) game. Everything from trying to figure out how in the f**k to use the controls to getting to certain screens such as the launch bay not having power screen or whatever it was trying to direct me towards. Jesus Christ what a stupid game. Had I known that a ni**er put this pile-of-shit together I would have NEVER even thought about buying it. This game (Universal Combat) is the most obvious and shameful example of those people who should NOT be in the computer game producing business!!! This guy is the KING of all of them. I intent to return this game with any means possible to return my money to my pocket and to put this ni**er back on welfare! Later dipshit!

whoa, cool. And how did you figure this out? I wonder if I can get them to make this a permanent feature, assuming it doesn't break the normal operation.

First!!!!! I was out at lunch and figured, why the hell not? So I went!! OMG!! Just.go.see.it!!! Everything you thought was good about the first movie, toss out and get ready to be blown away. Again. And this time, the moral dilemna that Spidey suffers all through his comics, come through here very, very well. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised that they are making a third movie already. The theatre was packed!! I guess Summer is really here. Now I can go see it this weekend again, minus the eager anticipation!! 10/10
