Free Giveaway Ideas!

Guys, I totally know where you're all coming from, but I can't justify giving £100 of my own money away just to you guys. The community as a whole wouldn't benefit.

However, if I spent £100 on google adsense then we'd get a massive boost in traffic. Probably almost 10 fold. I don't want to do that though, which is why I was wanting to run a giveaway to people who have signed up to ATK - old or new.

Obviously, we'd all have to do our bit in getting more people to know about the giveaway, but that wouldn't be too hard. Most people when they see "FREE STUFF" will give it a shot if it looks legit.

...three reasons why i'm never on TS anymore...

1) I keep having to reinstall it due to a dodgy comp
2) Most of the time it's just pairs or threes of members in games I don't play
3) Some douchebag(s) that will remain unnamed being a bit too quick to use the admin options

I mostly play with friends or pub now... very few people seem to play source...

Oh, forgot to mention. My headset broke a while back, that's why I haven't been on TS. My new mic should be arriving soon, then I'll be on more.

I don't play many games nowadays other than HoN (which I play enough to make up for not playing any others lol), and when I go on HoN I go on GR vent.

I'm never on TS because my brother has stolen my headset with mic to go play VATSIM >.<

- Also, on an unrelated note, while previously my PC was not good enough to run CS:S - now it runs at 200fps, but the doors and people while running are really jerky =/ - I can play Crysis on full, but CS:S doesn't work? I call bull xD

It could well be BECAUSE your getting 200fps. Thats not a multiple of 60, which can create tearing on screen. Turn the setting "wait for vertical sync" on in CSS settings, your FPS should drop to, and stay at 60, and it should be smooth.

I capped my FPS at 60 with the command, which didn't do anything, but should I turn vsync on anyway?

(Lol, totally not used to having a computer that can process faster than 90fps at maximum XD)

yes v synsc is a good thing

It causes mouse lag in most of the games I turn it on in.

don't play in high-ping or non-dedicated servers, and check your connection

By the way, INXGaming doesn't yet host TS3 servers. When they do, I'll make sure we're upgraded :).

I have V-sync forced by catalyst on all games and it causes me no issues :)

i BLAME NVIDIA ;)

Same results both on and off-line servers (i.e. I click create game for offline), so nothing should be anything to do with connection.

I'm gonna check vsync at some point today, if I can pull myself away from ArmA II and Mass Effect.

(Also, this thread has gone a little off-topic XD Sorry)
