Auto Assault sounds like a game I would play.

SWBF2 seems to be incompatible with vista so even if I got it, I couldn't play it. What kind of game is it anyways? rts?

Quick summary:
It's a 1st/3rd person shooter in the vein of BF2. Large maps, capture points, classes, 2 sides, vehicles, etc. Also features space maps where you can dogfight in x-wings, tie fighters, droid fighters, and other ships, or you can grab a transport and board the enemy capital ship. Playing well on maps can get you temporary access to heroes/villains. For example, on Coruscant you can access either Mace Windu or Darth Maul.

I googled around about with Vista issue. Some folks have the game running fine, others have problems. A common issue seems to be RealTek soundcard related, though a fix has been discovered. When I got my dual-core X2 CPU, I had to set the .exe to Win98 compatibility mode for the game to work, but since then it has been perfect. Here are some relevant links:

Unfortunately, Auto Assault was an mmo that went under. The servers no longer exist, so the game is useless now unless someone can setup a private server.

There's a 1.69 for NWN!? And it's the last patch evar?!

Still wondering how you'd run a NWN server.

I haven't run a server of my own, but this is what you get when you run nwserver.exe in the game directory:


Seems simple enough.

Best of luck to you if you try 1.69. I tried twice with a fresh install--borked the game both times. 1.68 works great for me.

OK, i've gotten 3 pages of feedback now. I'm seeing a lot of support for 2 games in particular, SWBF2, and NWN. Now that I own a copy of NWN myself, I'm a little more inclined to set up a dedicated server for that, however, I did say I would put this to a poll... so now to set one up.

Poll set up: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/9209

Mod, think we should lock this?

No no, I know HOW you run a server; I'm wondering WHAT you're going to play on it (map).

Ah, I misunderstood your question. So your wondering about gametypes/levels?

In NWN you can play coop through the campaign or custom modules, and I think there's even PvP as well. I'd vote coop, of course.

Yes, but wouldn't persistent world be the only type that would work in this case? Wouldn't a campaign be beaten once someone goes through it with their character? I've only played online once, in co-op campaign with my friend, briefly.

Possibly just regular HL2DM, because anyone who has an ATI or Nvidia card right now can get it for free at

Nvidia
http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/
ATi
http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/

Which opens up the potential for a lot of people to play, I am not sure if ATI offer still works but I know Nvidia did 1 month ago

Also, I agree with FPS, mostly because like someone said, it is more satisfying for a quick stop by.

Just my 2 cents

If I acquire my friends old DVD drive it appears ill be able to run it well, according to requirements it appears my cpu may be bottle neck, because I am at the reccomended cpu level but way above in gfx and ram.
