You need a modem and then use it as a bridge

Yo ED that router I got is immense, I swear my internet has gotten better lol

Thanks for the advice again

Can I ask which router??
I wouldn't mind getting a decent one that has lots to mess with and being faster would be nice too :P

Our internet goes down a ridiculous amount. I think what happens is the DSL will drop for a split second and then the router doesn't realise and never tries to reconnect. So we have to manually restart the router every-time (actually when I say it out loud that's probably not the issue). I would hope getting a good router would fix the problem.

No probs. A good unit can reduce pings and process packets faster, so you could perceive a slight difference.

The error message seems to think it's a 16 bit app.
Of course there is no way they released a 16 bit version so something is not right.

That doesn't make sense. 99% of games are 32-Bit and run fine through built-in emulation, why would this one not run?

Yah games dont tend to be 64bit.

AC has a 64bit version? What version is on Steam?

Doing some investigation, it seems that its only 32bit

AC has a 64bit version? What version is on Steam?

Man im ****ing raging here. Near 24 hrs of downloading Batman:Arkham City (16.9gb) and the ****ing thing is 32bit instead of it being 64bit

This isnt the first time downloading it and it was previously 64bit so those wasters gamefly must of changed it

Linus always goes on about how he loves the Steelseries 7H but googling suggests they have a f'ck load of QC problems. Anyone have them, worth a punt?

Could be the PCB is loose in the cage or a damaged USB port(common). Pop it open and take a pic, it should be an easy fix in any case.

I opened it up already and nothing jumped out at me. I reckon its the usb slot. The previous owner is not the best with electronics
