A firewall shouldn't interfere with installing programs. It's there to control traffic. Agreed, but somethings going on. And after all when you install the patch, it does say turn off...blah blah - mainly to cover ANY possibilty. If I get time and I'm bored I'll re-install and do a more thorough te...

You may wait a long time. I think it was principle back then, not the chance to contribute to enable a chance to have your say!

Good on everyone who conrtibutes 1 or 1000 $ or £
And good on every regular tourney player, whether they pay or not.

It's a similar problem with ZoneAlarm, alt tabbing doesn't work. It's possible to configure it even if you can't see the ZA alert/allow screen if you know the keyboard shortcuts. That's how I used to do it, but now having 2 displays, I can get the alerts to pop-up on the other desktop. Also, regardi...

100 tournaments for Darkhorse

Many thanks for all your tournaments Brian!

Dunno what has happened to the frontpage of VPHQ....every TD who reached 100 had a little mention on it, so I thought it would be a nice touch do say thanks here.

Why not apply for TD?

You can make donations to the tournament system which would go towards the costs of running the server that the TD's use to host tournaments.

support@celeris.com should be able to point you in the correct direction

Re: Two points( sorry 3 points) to make about Snooker in VP3

2.There is a problem in Snooker that no doubt many players have come across right from the start of VP3. Ill give you a scenario.....My opponent commits a foul in Snooker.The game screen gives me the option to play or make opponent play again(but from a static top down view.) Consequently I cant ge...

Direct X, Direct Play, latest video/graphics drivers.
Also try disabling 'hardware acceleration'

If problem persists, try desktop mode, then safe mode.

From my limited knowlegde of the real game I cannot see anything wrong with that shot. It was played with a little draw but at a slow pace that 'kills' the speed off the cue ball when contact is made with the object ball.

But then again, I never knew what the stun bug was anyway.......

By the way, does anybody know whether it is possible to edit keyboard layouts, so that perhaps I could have those special letters in combination with pressing alt or something?

nq,fqttitqn are the letters for NamfatTitan, I guess.

I noticed the 'n', 'f', 'i' & 't' are still in the same place.

Could you not re-arrange the keys on your keyboard and then edit the ASCII table?

It sucks if they have all been deleted... and this skin thing sucks too. I like the bog standard default one, but it doesn't seem to matter which one is selected.

Six years? Wow, bro! It seems more like 3. perhaps 4. Have you've always played VP Tone? I also began on VP (DOS) and kali, I''ve been gone for a few; maried, divorced and maried again :3some: .

Re: Why do Celeris think it's ok to charge $21... for a patc

There is another good thing to come from all this. Celeris now have been updating the patches (which are free) and are continuing to do so. So eventually all those little 3099 bugs and some new ones 'should' be ironed out as we get new patches. There should not have been bugs in VP3 before being re...

Re: Why do Celeris think it's ok to charge $21... for a patc

Anyway, it isn't $21, but it's still a joke, isn't it? Actually no. You obviously where not here when the ghostball cheat was 'made available' to all. The game was in danger of going under, seriously. Most of us that had the Curley version got the DL upgrade for free. There is another good thing to...
