Wow, this game is beautiful with all of the graphic specs turned all the way up! I never knew how great it looked with my old rig. Can't wait to try out SHIII and GWX as well.

Quick question though. I've been trying to download some mods, such as RSRD, OpMonsoon, RFB, etc. However, my Winzip won't extract the files. No other extraction program I've tried will extract them either. This is a brand new computer that I got yesterday. Is this a Windows 7 thing? Any idea? TIA.

Most modders prefer the 7zip format because the compression ratio is better then anything out there that i'm aware of. 7zip or winrar should unpack them. the zip format by itself, is an outdated format that should probably go the way of 386 machines. :O:

Congrats on the new rig, statboy... I can still remember when i fired up SHIV for the first time on mine (now almost a year old).

Enjoy!
