I enjoy blogging and I always try to keep up with the latest gaming news over all platforms and the industry in general. I'll occasional post a news story on my website to keep up my blogging skills.
My website is always updating, some of these updates can be fairly small and insignificant but I find it important to keep a log on these errors and how they were fixed
Want to know what I'm currently working on? My website has most of the projects I am/have been working on including some of the more intresting projects from my work place.
Eyefinity - Team Fortress 2
Valve has done it again with Team Fortress 2, it generally works great out of the box with ATI Eyefinity but there are a few issues which can be off putting but defiantly aren't a deal breaker. All the menus work great the same as all the other Valve game I have tired with the loading screens centering and all the floaty steam like windows that Valve games use work across all 3 screens. Once in a game there is a few issues with the HUD and server display not aligning correctly to standard 16:10/16:9 aspect ratios, so some overlays can be off centre (fix for this after the bump).
I'm going to be looking at ATI's latest feature for Eyefinity "Bezel Compensation", I'm also going to demonstrate what bezel compensation is and why it is beneficial.
Just a quick little article here. Thought some people might like some huge triple screen backgrounds from Just Cause 2 demo, some great scenery to be seen, I can't wait to see what the full game will produce. Read More to enjoy multiple views from the new island:
In this "how-to" session we are going to look how to setup ATI's new Bezel Compensation feature for multiple monitors, you can read more about bezel management and what it is about here. Before we begin make sure you have ATI's latest Catalyst Driver 10.3, without this installed you will not see any options for Bezel Management. You will also have to have a multiple monitor setup to take advantage of this feature, preferably and Eyefinity setup. Right on to the tutorial, just follow these simple steps:
I was going to write a tutorial on how ATI's new bezel compensation feature works but I've just found this great video which covers almost everything you need to know courtesy of Widescreen Gaming Forum. Check out the above video and I will hopefully have some tutorials and explanations of bezel management by the weekend for my ATI Eyefinity section on the website. Written is always better, eh?
The latest version of ATI Drivers and Catalyst Software update 10.3 preview has been leaked onto the interwebs and I'm going to take a risk to check them out for you guys. I'm mainly trying these drivers out so soon as I would love to finally have bezel management for Eyefinity game resolutions, also I haven't upgraded my drivers in a while (9.12) so I might see a fair performance gain. Continue reading to see how it all goes down:
Whoa forgot about logging down the changes I have made to my website, here is all the stuff I can remember over the past 4 months of tweaks and changes:
Added ATI Eyefinity Section
Corrected some huge articles for displaying wrongly in certain places
Changed the MP3 player back to the original one
Removed GDGT Gadget as I never used it and it was a bit of a mess tbh
Added plenty of new articles about my triple screen experiences
Slowly adding games to my gaming history/influential games (Shenmue soon I hope)
Using a new backend editor which will hopefully allow adding articles to become easier
Added some custom CSS views for my modules (took me a while to get right)
I did have custom snow over the Christmas period which shall return next year
Cleaned up some graphics
Re-arranged some ftp folders and links
Nearly got through my backlog of "need to do" articles
Well that will do it for now, I'll see you in 4 months... hehe.
Had a few requests for some more backgrounds and I found these images on my old backup, I don't actually play Aion so all these are from the beta event. Enjoy:
A good 4-5 months ago my Logitech G25 Racing wheel started to produce a burning smell after 30 minutes or so of use, I thought nothing about this and just kept using my wheel as normal. Another month or 2 after that the smell became strong and would occur after 10 minutes of use so I knew this was getting worse but I was baring in mind that the wheel was already 20 months old. I was maybe thinking about contacting Logitech support as the G25 comes with a 2 year warranty but I didn't really want to go through the hassle of trying to find a box etc for returning my wheel so I forget about it. Well my H-Shifter lost reverse so I tried to re-install the wheel and everything from my end but the button was totally unresponsive which left me no choice in contacting Logitech's support.
