The other day I was running Unreal Tournament 2004 in a Windows 10 Boot Camp install on my Intel-powered MacBook Pro, and the game locked up. I was able to bring up Task Manager via Ctrl+Shift+Esc, but the mouse cursor–I was using a basic Bluetooth-connected mouse–was not visible (captured by the game still?). I tried…
I’ve had the game GRID for a few years, but never got around to playing it. Now that I’m using an nVidia GeForce 770 video card, I wanted to enjoy the game in 1080p with all graphics options turned on. Unfortunately when I installed and started up the game, I was only able to select…
