nVidia Forceware 78.05 - get it for DOD:S

[Varsity]

With just a few hours to go before Day of Defeat: Source is released worldwide (http://www.steampowered.com/) (11PM GMT), nVidia have released a beta revision of their Forceware drivers to fix a 'compatibility problem' with both DOD:S and Lost Coast. Download it fast...

Download the new driver now (http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_winxp_2k_78.05.html) (BETA)
Day of Defeat: Source (http://www.dayofdefeat.com/)

Also be sure to read bit-tech.net (http://www.bit-tech.net/)'s new feature on DOD:S (http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2005/09/26/dod_source_screens/1.html), with side-by side comparisons of the HL1 and Source versions, and HDR on/off.

If you can get to a launch party on IRC (like this one (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53525)), do. There's nothing quite like counting down the last few seconds before release with two thousand others. Happy DOD-Day!

A hour and a half left. Damn I'm tense.

[Atorak]

Cool, how much does this cost if you didnt get the super Half-Life 2 package?

[Zurik]

18 dollars until its launched, then 20 bucks. So if you don't have it, or are not getting it right now, its gonna be 20.

I think Varsity works for Valve. ;)

I'm gonna be playing this so damn much, oh happy day.

I'm going to hop on board so I can review it once I'm finished with Myst V. :P

[goc_sin]

I have mine preloaded... (starts watching clock)

[Cupelix]

I'm going to hop on board so I can review it once I'm finished with Myst V. :P
You'll be done with Myst V in about...oh... 6 hours. Most disappointing Myst game ever. Simple puzzles, and extremely short. I had such hope for the closing chapter of the series.

I'll buy this if the reviews are glowing. Played the original, but not sure if I'm ready to pony up the casheesh.

[Varsity]

There are reviews, or at least very lengthy previews of the final code, at all or most of the major sites. The ones I've read have all been raving.

Bear in mind that it's primarily a port, though.

I think Varsity works for Valve. ;)

People are always saying that...

[51|RandoM]

I'm ready for some DoD with HDR.

Hope somebody has some servers up already.

[Zurik]

I want to see that sunlight glinting off of the shovel as it comes down on the back of an allies' head!

[Serapth]

So when is zero hour anyways? I have DOD already preloaded, and checked a few minutes ago (5:30 EST ) and its still listed as Coming Soon.

[Varsity]

6PM EST, 3PM PST, 11PM GMT: twenty minutes!

There's a launch party going on at #dodradio, Gamesurge. Click to join with an IRC client installed (irc://irc.us.gamesurge.net:6667/dodradio).

[Oddmaker]

Thanks for the update Varsity, somehow im guessing its not going to go so well since steampowered is basically crawling, and the forums have crashed.

[niai]

Yeah, shouldn't it be out by now?

[niai]

Oh yeah. it is...

[goc_sin]

It's out now.. I quit out of steam and launched again. It started downloading.

[Wyrm]

I cant make it work for me. I have it downloaded (I preloaded it) and it just comes up as a "new release" in steam. When I double click it, I get payment options. God, I hate steam.
