I would actually enjoy this very much, However! When I use jump jets I hit the ceiling, then I stay there... Any answers? Running Windows XP X64 Edition, I assume that's the problem? Anyways if you can help me fix it so I can use them I would like to sling some Slag your way, not that I have played it in... 7 or maybe 8 years. Fully customizable for the winz!
Im not bitter I just dont like you Micro$oft!

I've heard some really evil things about gameranger about add-spammer/installing malicious stuff on your machine, so just watch out.

BLACKFIRE-im just assuming that youre running it in  win98/2000 compatibility mode? if not not alot i could think of.

Kit-im pretty sure that bugs only single player, but its f***ing odd...

Giest-its not bothered me at all, works like a charm. just make sure you have it minimized before play or the screen randomly flashes white. no add spam whatsoever, its not affected me at all in any negative way

the floating vehicles and jj issues are the vid cards are rendering the game to fast. turn on v-sync and aa. also set your monitor to 60hz refresh and give it a go. try searching the help forums at mw3.org.  i have posted several times on these issues with what i did to get things working better than it ever did on 98 se.

Where did you hear that? You're probably thinking of GameSpy.

GameRanger has never installed anything other than itself. It's about the least intrusive app you can get. GameRanger has been around since 1999 as the official online gaming service on the Mac, even though only recently released for PC in 2008. It's entirely reputable and is the longest running online gaming service on any platform.

i figured out how to fix this :)I think it had to do with the refresh rate of your monitor being too fast, gotta be at like 60hz or something like that. And us poor saps with newer ati cards get this really nasty graphics bug :( so if i really want to play i gotta plug my old x1650 pro in and install new drivers which is more effort than i'm willing to put forth.

here's a screeny of the nasty graphics issue =\

:-X I actually tried it on an older system setup, ye ol' AMD 3200 w. a Radeon 9600 PRO and 2GB Kingston HyperX RAM, but with Windows XP on it and I still get the BUG even if I follow the above mentioned setup by Perigrin, but hey I got it running smoothly under Windows 98 on that comp :P

Nm it was another gaming service I saw listed, was just in the same forum post as game ranger :)

Carry on ... nothing to see here.

Not legally, and i won't tell you to look on certain peer to peer, especially torrent, sites, because that would be, you know, illegal . .
