Ambush! - The Online Geek Community

Mark Rein just posted the following news on the INA forums:

Hi Folks,

The demo is nearly ready to go. It should be out sometime within the next few days. Keep watching this space (the stickies) for an announcement. When it's ready we'll just be releasing it randomly to a few major sites so that hopefully it will spread like wildfire and everyone will be able to get it from their favorite games site. There won't be any special exclusives or anything like that. We want everyone to be enjoying it the minute it goes live.

More details to follow, keep watching this space.
Looks like we'll finally be playing UT2003 in a few days time. As soon as it hits the (virtual) streets, we'll let you know! Props to Selerox for the text message giving the heads-up.

Update - 16:29 EDT by RaptoR: Mark has made a followup post, giving a little more info on exactly when we can expect the demo.

I'm expecting the demo to be out sooner than 5 days but things have a way of cropping up and biting us in the ass so you never know. It could be as early as tomorrow or as late as the weekend but I'm pretty confident that it's this week.

Found this fix on the web

Razer Boomslang & Windows XP

This Fix is intended for all users of a Razer Boomslang who have problems using it under Windows XP (Lost Settings when rebooted, not being able to program buttons).
If you install the common drivers from the provided cd (version 2.0.12, also downloadable from www.razerzone.com)

-First install the drivers, reboot when asked

If correctly installed, the razer application asks something about registration, press later, then apply or ok.


Double checking if the mouse is correctly installed

-Go to the Control Panel
-Click on "Mouse"
-Click on the "Hardware"-tab
-Check if it says "Karna USB mouse"
If so, continue, if not, install the drivers again


Customizing your mouse

-Open Control Panel
-Click on Razer Boomslang
-Adjust your settings (sensitivity, program buttons, etc.)
-press apply, then ok
Continue to the next step, the most difficult part!!

Making the settings permanent (this involves editing your registry, so be carefull please & do not hold me responsible for mistakes you make after this point of warning!)

1. startup Regedit (start>run>type: regedit >press enter)
2. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareKarnaRazer
3. You'll see all kinds of settings (I will call these "items") like DoubleClickSpeed etc.
4. go to HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareKarnaRazer aswell
5. You'll see the same items as seen by step 2 along with a few others, but with other values
6. Adjust the values (by double clicking on an item like DoubleClickSpeed) in such a way that the new values match the values seen in the items in step 2
Adjust the values for the follwing items
-ButtonAssignedX (where X = 1 through 5)
-DoubleClickSpeed
-RazerSpeedX
-RazerSpeedY
-ScrollWheelSpeed
7. Reboot, the settings are permanent from this point on, well done and good luck!

Game on!

PS.
-I have the Razer Boomslang 1000dpi
-I connected it via the USB port
-I use Windows XP Pro Corporate Edition (Build 2600)
-I use the 2.0.12 Razer Drivers
