It may look overwhelming but it is really simple. Just follow the instructions one step at a time, very well written.

I purchased the Titanium CDs of ebay for like $40. Installed to C: drive. Downloaded files from website, uncompressed them (just double click and extract files), pasted them in to the folder indicated on the instructions, and voila.

Recommend you install the discs and download the files from p99, then if you are having problems post specifics.

[Expediency]

You're not alone, it took me two days and a post to the tech forum to get it running last year. Just follow the guide and if you run into trouble ask your specific question to the tech guys.

Maybe someone who is qualified will come along and help you via skype.

Its worth the trouble, p99 is great

[Expediency]

why did you need to tell us that you were in the military

Maybe because people tend to be more sympathetic to members of the military since they risk their lives and get moved all around the country for very low pay?

[Thulack]

Send a message to this guy http://www.project1999.com/forums/member.php?u=32207

He will get you going.

[phacemeltar]

maybe he just mentioned it so you guys would be cautious to troll him, as he is a real-life killing machine looking to cut loose on some pixels

[Aesop]

I think the word you meant to use was empathy not sympathy.

[Brokerage]

Colgate, go back to the trashcan that are the Red forums and keep your toxicity in there.

[Expediency]

i have no sympathy for members and ex-members of the military who joined of their own volition

enlisting because of conscription? sure

You're slipping, thats a pretty weak troll attempt

[Scatch]

What you ought to have is appreciation, not sympathy or empathy, or anything else. Can you name a country that has no actual, concerning threat to its sovereignty for a reason other than the presence of the United States military, except aggressive states like Iran, China and Russia?

Australia, perhaps, but that's only because they're selling China what it wants right now. Others might even correct me on that note.

They choose to serve, but not because it was such a sweet deal, therefore the rest of us who reap the rewards of such protection have appreciation.

[Nune]

excuse Colgate, hes like 14

[Muggens]

Maybe it was so he could really hammer home the fact that he's going to need this explained to him in great detail - as if not being able to figure it out yourself isn't enough of an indication.

[Scatch]

Speaking of countries completely dependent upon OP for sovereignty... resisted just over two months last time, right?

Show some appreciation.

I thought I saw someway I can perma-ignore someone ...

COLGATETHEGRANDMASTER

How do I do that again?

BTW: I am not ex-military or anything but I still need help.

If you figure it out, let me know so I can ignore that guy too. Although, I feel bad for him. He spends his time trolling people cause nothing better to do. Pathetic.

i just realized that its page 3 and still no one has linked to the getting started post, lol

[wwoneo]

ding ding ding

every1 in this thread too busy white knighting the idea of being in the military in 2016 to see the big picture here

So, we should white knight you instead? Our savior!

[Llandris]

Stop trolling server chat or you will be banned. Thanks

[letsjoe]

quick bump to recognize our men and woman fighting for p99 across the borders and in the states

[letsjoe]

this is obviously a troll post, not sure why you are banning the people pointing that out, just look in technical issues.

Glad to see colgatewhoeverthatis banned. His posts were pathetic.

Yeah, all our heroes are getting stiffed on pay these days... Teachers, police, firemen, paid assassins.

Maybe if you start taking the tough missions, like explicit slaughter of civilians, you'll get a higher pay bracket. Just sign that application, we all sell out, right? Look at me, I handle taxes, you handle dead kids. All in a day's work, yeah?

That said, OP, yes the instructions are great, but there are certainly steps that require close reading and can still be ambiguous. Definitely utilize the help forum, I think I have a few posts there.

wow you are an idiot. I do agree him dropping his vet status is stupid and not needed, but you seriously have issues.

[HallyVee]

I certainly do have issues. I have serious issues with genocide, rape, murder, poverty, disease, etc. All of which are direct consequences of mass violence.

If you'd like to argue that without the mass violence there would be worse consequences, great, do so. But these days those justifications are in short supply, and extremely dubious when available.

Let me guess - mid 20s, lives with parents, no job, no life experience?

I've seen Fastcar in game. Get him some starter gear or help. He is using the name Fastcar.

[HallyVee]

Well, no, but...

You're not far off. There is some truth to the adage, Liberal when young, Conservative when old, Democrat when poor, Republican when rich.

At least, for non-thinking adults who use emotion and instinct for guidance. Whose critical reasoning faculties are crippled, often by religion.

For those of us who reason through things, using our morality for guidance, it is often the opposite, considering that, as in my case, the onset of long term planning and empathy are A) not my doing and B) severely delayed; leading to the realization that we humans are largely shaped by our environment. This slices through those dichotomies, rendering them both poisonous ideologically.

For reference, I'm mid thirties, out from under parent's wing for a decade, stable job for 13 years, and I dunno, I've had some interesting life experiences. I'm a bit of a recluse though, so my "life experience" means "read a lot of things."

[JackFlash]

Thread is really going from bad to terrible. We need to moderate this stinking pile!

[maskedmelon]

For those of us who reason through things, using our morality for guidance

For those of us who abandon reason at the behest of guilt and rogue desire, but continue to profess intellectual piety

Go on...

Made a ranger "USMARINE"
Starting new stinks !

Wish I had 1/1000th what I use to have in my old bank =P


Would like to have some fun ,skulking around doing bow kite.

Any donations of stuff would be great ( as a few have offered) plat or items.
Recurve velium bow or runed oak or any .5 ratio or better would be fantastic.Does P1999 have quivers? Back in the day "Fleeting" was amazing Some haste! fun fun fun
Its no barrett .50, but will do.
IN real life, I and most Marines wont take charity.IN a game I have NO problem being a slight whore :). At least at the start to get going.

Ty in advance, I have nothing to offer in return for any help.....I mean besides keeping you and your families safe from bad guys !

Some are not into military, they have that right.
Not gonna talk about here again...ever.
