As you are probably aware, removing the RadLinker entries that show up after a scan will create the 'installation loop' and it is possible to loose custom settings from the control panel, it will require resetting them.

I just usually select the [5] RadLinker associated entries after a scan, and do an invert then clean. But, I guess it would be a bit easier not having to do that.

The advanced mode is automatically enabled in the normal version of RadLinker. The Omega version has the extra settings disabled to make it easier for the normal user to configure.

I really don't understand why these driver cleaners think this is an obsolete registry key. It was added using the instructions Microsoft provided. However, the next version of RadLinker should not suffer from the reinstall problem caused by this key being removed.

Are you suing CCC? The RadLinker settings will not match exactly to the settings in the CCC. Any specific games this happens with?

"C:\Program Files\Games\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game DesertCombat

my question now is...should i use the same procedure as described in the Steam how-to??

is it -applaunch DesertCombat or -game DesertCombat that i should type in the Radlinker Command Line Arguments section?

& would someone be so kind to tell me wich string to use for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero?

Thx in advance...

also a big thumbs up for ChrisW (for providing this great tool) & TwistedMetal (for putting up this great guide!)

I added the Condition Zero instructions to the FAQ (-applaunch 80). For Desert Combat, just make a normal BF1942 RadLink or custom setting (set the timeout counter for BF1942 2-3 seconds) and add the -game DesertCombat to the command line arguments tab.

I had found out the problem, and it was posted in another topic here that i made. I have a "custom settings" for my steam, and i had left steam just running in the tray (although the custom settings were set to "use defaults"). When i would start up a game like unreal tournament 2004 with custom settings (4XAA / 16XAF) and then quit, that 4xAA , 16xAF would appear as my control pannel settings (instead of "app preference / app preference like they were prior to opening the game). The screen would flash and stuff when leaving ut2004, making it seem like it was reverting back to the app pref/ app preference defaults, but it was not. The moment i closed steam (running in my tray, with custom settings on it), the screen would flash again and my app preference / app preference defaults would be restored. So I have to just leave steam closed (and can keep custom settings on it) or not have custom settings on steam itself (steam.exe). This isnt really a problem with cs:s or anything, since it has in-game AA/AF settings, so no need of a radlink in any way anymore...

I had some custom command arguments for Halo, Halo Custom Edition, and some other games. But I figured out why they were running very slow. I found this when I clicked the shortcut properties:

As you can see, the target to the executable box is also messed up. Has this been covered yet?

ChrisW · Oct 31, 2004, 09:31 AM

Looks like the link got corrupted somehow. Try clearing the target process box and the command line arguments box.

MythicaL · Nov 1, 2004, 07:28 AM

Hmm, that seemed to have fixed it, can't believe I didn't try that before. Well, I hope it doesn't come back again. Thanks for the info

Tiribulus · Nov 13, 2004, 03:44 AM

Forgive me if this has been addressed already, but I only could find the question about CCC. Is it necessary to reinstall Radlinker and reset all your Rad links after a new version of the Cats? I'm just getting familiar with it and just encountered the issue yet.
Thanks,

MythicaL · Nov 13, 2004, 09:57 AM

Bad news Chris, it seems that the problem has returned. I even uninstalled the Radlinker that came with the Omega drivers and installed the stand-alone version. Still gives me that weird text in the target area and command arguments.

Not sure if this is on my side or not, but it would be nice to get this problem sorted out soon

Thanks

Usually not, though something could possibly change in a future ATi driver that makes it necessary to reinstall RadLinker. The links should be fine in any situation as far as installing a new driver goes.

Just out of curiosity, are you also using the overclocking function to overclock individually for games? In the past I've seen similar oddities come up when doing that. Re-doing the link fixes it, but it could occurr again some time later.

Thanks,
I tried it and everything seems good so far on my daughter's machine running a 9700 pro. Not the end of the world, but it would be a bit of a pain to have to set up all the links again. Haven't used Radlinker that much yet, but seems to be the closest thing to my ideal tweaking util. Like the fact that clockspeeds are only increased when needed. Need more time with it to really get a feel.

Half life 2 is -applaunch 220

and Half life Source is -applaunch 280

you probably ought to add that to the guide too

RadLinker is independent of the drivers installed so you should not need to uninstall/reinstall RadLinker when upgrading your drivers.

Same thing has happened to me once before. I still don't know exactly what happened to cause it. It is probably a bug in RadLinker. If you can reproduce the steps required to make this happen, make sure you post them.

dzjepp · Nov 20, 2004, 07:04 PM

Chris, would it be possible to add refresh rates to [global] RadLinker, or/and maybe for individual RadLinks?

I've written a simple refresh rate fix, but it currently runs in the background so it is not included in RadLinker. You can try it if you want:
http://users.adelphia.net/~webspace/RadFresh.zip

It adds a refresh rate tab to the display control panel and requires RadLinker or RadClocker to be installed.

Any news about fixing the RadLinker laptop standby/hibernation issue?

Edit: Never mind, your latest test version fixed it

Here is what i did when i had this problem:

Under the properties of the "custom Radlink" for Halo select "remove customisations". Then remove Radlinker and reboot. Then Reinstall radlinker and create a new radlink for Halo.

MythicaL · Nov 28, 2004, 10:54 AM

Someone tell me what "~e5_0003" in the process manager means? Everytime I see this the game takes FOREVER to start and usually won't work...

Think it has something to do with RadLinker, but maybe not.

Looks like the kind of code that game disk protections sometimes run. The delay may be caused by it taking time to identify the disc in the drive. For instance Rome - Total War uses something like it. I'm sure it's not RadLinker related.

toao2001 · Nov 28, 2004, 02:56 PM

Bevor switching to the latest Omega Drivers I could apply global d3d Gamma settings... worked just fine...

Now, with the latest release and Radlinker, I used the radlinker settings; but gamma changes dont stay and disapear as soon as the login screen apears...

... The game itself is game.dll, which is loaded as soon as the acc is validated and the Updater is run... This can take anything between 30s to 30 min...

Any way to get it work?

Regards,
toao2001

I posted this in a separate thread, but it's easy to overlook.

Maybe someone here can help, since this is about the application in question.

They're useful if you use RadLink a lot, but for those of us who rarely or never use them, they're just annoying, because they clutter the right-click menu.

Has anyone found a way to remove them? I looked around in the registry, but couldn't find the entries.

To Omegadrive and ChrisW: It would be great if an option to hide the right-click menus would be included in future versions, since I know I'm not the only one who has no use for the RadLink menus and is irritated by not being able to remove them. Thanks for the continued driver updates, though.

I couldn't find a solution in TweakUI and when I removed or edited the registry keys (posted in the other thread), they were restored as soon as I right-clicked my desktop.

Does anyone here have an idea? I'd really appreciate it, since I really like using Omega's drivers including RadLinker, but I hate the way it integrates itself (which is annoying when you never using radlinker links).

And maybe [color=Red]ChrisW[/color] can make those menus optional when installing RadLinker or even include an option in the interface to hide them in the next release?

Do you have any other tweakers installed that may be resetting your clock rate?
