Myself and mlabudda will most likely be on tonight for a little bit...maybe around 7 'ish? If there is no server online to use, I'll try and host a game. I did it last night but nobody joined.....wanna try it out again tonight.

So if anyone wants to play....please join us! :cool:

I wouldn't consider what I did playing but it was fun. After Xmas I will be much better, eggnog and xteam practice.

Do you need to have the Xteam game to do this or can you just have the demo?

you have to have the full version but it is worth it. For 20 bucks you get endless entertainment of watching me circle around in the trees :cool:

try the demo first and make sure you don't need a new video card though. I had to get one, stupid emachines!

It's worth it and we could use some new blood, Matt is way to good and we are tired of getting bluehazed :undercover:

OK I'm slow I downloaded the game and where do I get this username and password and I thought you had to own the game to play online.

Oh and if you buy it from the xteam website do they send you a disk or what?

Did you pay for the game yet or did you just download the demo version?? You need to buy the game online and follow the instructions to download and play it. No disk is sent to you, you download it from the site.

I did not buy the game. Once you buy and download it its for that specific computer only is that right?

I don't know for sure, I haven't tried to load it on another machine. Good question though...

haven't tested it but I think you might be able to download it elsewhere. If you log into the site and go to the purchase area it will say download instead of buy it.

Come join the fun. Tunedbyear is about to race me in the trees next week! And watch it Corey bluffs about his abilities!

You can download it to as many computers as you want, but only 1 can use it at any given time. It seems that the computer in use downloads a small certificate from the xteam website and causes that computer to retain ownership.

Over the course of a few hours or longer, another computer can use teh game, but that certificate must now be transferred to the other computer, rendering the orginal one unplayable until it is transferred back.

It is all automated, you do not need to do anything other than accept or cancel the transfer.

Cool!! Tips?? :sly: Watch out for the trees!! :lol: Yeah....ditch the keyboard, get a joystick/game controller. I have a controller similar to a PS2 controller. It's a Gravis Gamepad Pro, they can be found for fairly cheap on ebay.

Get a controller. Mine is a microsoft sidewinder and it was like $10. Makes the game so much easier.

Alright I'll most likely do that.
