Re: Fixing the Orfeo bug

why doesn't someone just post how to fix it since every system is going to deal with this eventually... seems there is no secret among the cheaters or the groups going around doing it, so wouldn't it be better to put the knowledge out there like the bard crash bug so folks can't use that?

Re: Access Violation @ Cleanup Consistently

Just curious, how long does a clean up take? Depends what your system does while down... say you just run the base system with no add-ons... its a couple seconds for the system to go down and come back up... say you decide to make a backup of the whole system... depending on your processor and hard...
