Hi.

I am wondering if anyone has ever tried using cam video while playing the game yet? Now that you know how to play SOWgb with any chat program (ingame), how about video? (HIGH-SPEED required)

Just download a cam program, and line up the cam windows on your game screen. Who knows, thought I would put it out there for you to consider. Here are a couple of links to get you started.

1: Camfrog (FREE) Works with Routers
2: TopTen Reviews on Cam Video Software.

Later!

The video on this site was all taken with FRAPS, which also has a free version.

Hi Jim.

I have heard of Fraps before. Do you see a frame rate drop when you use Fraps? I used the program about 8 months ago, and I noticed a real drop in fps, maybe that was just me.

Thanks for the reply Jim, Cheers...

Yeah I've never noticed a FPS drop with Fraps either. Fraps is also used to benchmark FPS (used it a lot during development of SOWGB) so it is designed to use very little system resources.

Okay, I'll install the program, and give it a try. Thanks Braxton.

Oh, have been able to get the DUC working yet (ports)?

Hi Mister Powell.

I'll give it a try, thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has tried having video & voice (or Video & Text)while playing an MP game yet?

Later!
