The F1 League lives again!
Commander Keen:
Sorry about all the delays, bought a new PC. Biggest mistake ever, since installing xp took an age, but It's running nicely now. I suppose I should really update my db install. Hopefully league running is less flaky than it was...

There wheren't any updates in the summer, where there? So running the league hasn't inproved.
Why is buying a new pc a mistake? Any extra computer is good.
Commander Keen:
There's version L, the most recent version I have in my backups was version k. So now I've downloaded that, I'll go redownload all the bots again, and then I'll run db and hope version L is more reliable than version k. What did you find was better when you ran the league Bacillus?
Well, ok, it wasn't much of a mistake, here's the details:

Both have dual monitor support (not that useful, but can be handy)
My Laptop has a motherboard fault that causes it to randomly freeze/reboot.
Probably could have got better for $900, but I bought it off a guy I know, and it does have quite the array of neon lights and fancy fan controls
And yes, I was running the league on my laptop before I got this pc. So now I have a decent PC that doesn't crash every 15 minutes, I should be able to run the league pretty fast.
bacillus:
Nice. I did use k for the league, if you want to be consistent.
I always use dual-screen, mainly because my main screen is so much bigger , but also because you can keep an eye on league contests, for example, while doing (or pretending you're doing ) something else.
Commander Keen:
Blasted through quite a lot of the bots, my new PC is faster than I thought. Goes to show AMD make better CPUs I suppose.
L seems to be more reliable, with dual core I can run both concurrently, but k got a bit stuck, while L kept going
