The signups for the Winter CPL have begun and a LOT of big names are signed up and ready for action. To name a few: Vo0, Stermy, nts`zen, SK|zyz, SK|GitzZz, C_Lains, Aim, Cha0ticz, Daler, Stelam, proZaC, Lexer and of course Fatal1ty. The competition should provide some indications of form for those who tried Painkiller previously and moved on to other games, only to return now that CPL have moved behind Painkiller.

I only hope that the CPL can manage to record demos this time…

You can catch the entire list of signups here.

Someone noticed this on the DC Forums for the cheapest price (UK) that they could find BOOH.

http://www.mx2.co.uk/acatalog/MX2_co_uk_PC_Shooters_M_R_69.html

..has BOOH coming in at £12.95, which is around 19 Euros? Painkiller itself is at £15.99.

Has anyone seen this cheaper?

Back in the day when Painkiller was new to us all, I put together three map reviews to help everyone get upto speed. The map reviews were for DM_Illuminati, DM_Mine and DM_Fragenstein. Now we seem to have picked up some more interest again (no idea why 😉 ), feel free to have a look over the reviews and make my hard work worth the effort 🙂

This is quite obvious, and I apologise to those who already take this foregranted, but I think a lot of people forget to do this and dont have PK running at a comfortable refresh rate for their eyes.

To set the monitor refresh rate, you need to access the display control panel (either by right clicking and selecting properties, or via display in control panel). Find the manufacturer specific options for refresh rates. These are normally under Settings|Advanced|Nvidia/ATI blah.

You should be able to find the following page:

Select the resolution in PK you want to use and set the refresh rate (this assumes you know what your monitor can handle… beware about damaging your hardware).

I find 120Hz PK a lot more comfortable to look at than the default (which I think is 85Hz).

I hope this helps people 🙂

Just a quick word about our servers. They are now up and running on the gamemode TDM, and a maxconnect of 2. Our servers are provided by our sponsor ukgamer and are run on top of the range hardware, so they should be pretty stable. The Ips are:

PKEURO.COM [1]|14ms|217.158.150.66:3456
PKEURO.COM [2]|21ms|217.158.150.66:3457

The servers are located in the United Kingdom, so they should provide fairly decent pings to most of europe. There will be a 3rd server up fairly soon also from what I gather. More details on that one soon.
