i think that OP's question still holds: can you start a "normal" epohh and "winter" epohh simultaneously? (can they run at the same time, so that you get even more marks on a daily basis)

well, given the fact this winter event gets boring after playing it for around 15h, they obviously need to attract players back to their servers...

obviously, upgrading to mk xiv will now become a 1-to-2-year "event" ...

ehm...

Delta Quadrant Patrols:
Doubled the amount of rewarded Skill Points for all Delta Quadrant patrol missions.

have a weird feeling that the "hit and run" strategy wont work anymore ...

hahaha, seems someone is deeply affected by this whole DR thing
look it on a bright side: at least with today's patch they'll double the EXP points for Delta patrol missions...
I wonder whether the "empty queues" problem will now be explained by "many players taking part in the winter event"

Mara: only advanced fleet AP exists, as far as i'm aware ... noone mentioned CritDx3 here ..

since i will be making such an investment already ... ok, let's try to create a plasma build.
which plasma beam arrays would you suggest (i'd suppose its the romulan plasma beam array, but which proc) ?

regarding the CritH and CritD ... at the moment i have 9,8% CritH and 74,2% CritD ... would you say it's ok like this, or that I should focus more on CritH (and what should I buy)

ok, so much about the new ground set armor ... simply put: UGLY (and no, there is no pink version of it...)
but what is actually even funnier -> whenever you try customizing your head, by simply selecting the "Delta alliance combat armor" -> well, you end up with a bald head, with no helmet, no sunglasses, no nothing ... simply amazing

why the plasma torpedo, if I dont have any points in that? (for the 2set skill Plasma Conductive Circuitry?).
wouldn't it then be better just to completely switch to the romulan plasma setup, and replace all the beam arrays and vulnerability consoles into plasma type?

Delta Quadrant Patrol Systems:
- Teammates can now play together on the same Delta Quadrant patrol maps.
- Previously, players could only team together if they had the Delta Quadrant mission associated with the patrol system.

ok, it seems they'll be fixing patrol missions ... let's see if the good old "exploiters" will return after this update

Inferno: These starting videos are not about graphics, they will be very likely related to video codecs installed on your PC .. I myself do not have any codecs installed (very fresh new win) and intro videos shows normally.

hm, should K-Lite mega codec pack solve the codecs dependency issue? or maybe do I need a specific codec installed to play the intro videos?
as for the GPU support... well, I did add it to the list in that file, but i've also forced the game always to start it using nvidia via the nvidia control panel

Has anyone managed to get CF 2.0 to run on windows 8.1. I followed the instructions to the letter and have had no success at all. I have done this twice now including cleaning the registry but cannot get Crossfire20setup.exe to run for more than a few seconds. The installer starts but after a few seconds the installation screen disappears. I have all the folders in my anti virus exclusion list.

using Win 8.1 x64 here. Everything worked perfectly right from the start. No compatibility needed. I've installed everything (FL, FLMM, FLAM and CF2.0 using "run as an administrator").

Thx for the font trick info, it was bugging me as well!

On the other hand, I'm having a problem with the intro videos -> they are not showing, all 3 of them, I just get a black screen. Luckily, during the menu, graphics returns and I can select whatever I want. But, I'd really like to look at the intro videos

I have added my GK to flconfigdatabase.txt ... get used to do this automatically

how do you do that? (where exactly in the file, and where do I find the code for my graphic card...)

edit: nvrm, found it under sticky in technical

that's great news
haha, I wonder how my 2-3 years old chars still function.
finally the time has arrived to roam through the wonderful universe of crossfire

p.s. OP, I would give you a "like" on the post, but since the only button I can find is "dislike" ...

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

so, it was a "bug"
maybe we shouldn't play the game at all, you never know when a new bug might be discovered...

what about EP2W vs EP2A (i'm refering to it because of this post: link )
the way i understand it: first i'd need to make sure my ship's transfer rate is high (suggestion on a good console for that?). and following OP's idea of trade off (dps vs sci skills), i would have a following rotation: EP2A -> A2B -> fire all other skills.
now, i'd assume that both EP2A and EP2W have the same cooldown ... meaning i'd be able to activate each of these only once every 30sec .. meaning, i could either provide extra boost to A2B, or simply put additional power to weapons directly with EP2W.
in the end, which combination would result in a higher weapon power level, and thus more dps?

definitely damage output.
well, for now it seems an extra beam and FAW contribute well to this goal.

also, was reading the small letters about technicians today.. basically, the cooldown reduction only applies upon activating A2B.
but, does it mean: 10% reduction in time of the remaining cooldown, or 10% of the base cooldown.. and does this also imply the necessity of having two A2E abilities (like, ensign and lieutenant level), so one could hit the buttons constantly?
and if so... then one would have to first increase the auxiliary power level by little and only then activate A2E, to harness the extra power.. or doesn't this matter at one point?

thx for the hint will try making some changes today (starting with an additional beam, and adding the FAW instead or torp skill), and let's see how it'll perform in stf's
i start having the feeling i should have invested more thoughts into the selection of appropriate doff's.. so, time to finally collect the right ones
