It should not really matter so long as you have 7-zip.

Very easy to test both compression methods. RAR is by far faster and has much better compression. Winrar is a great app that also handles zip files.

Only winrar costs money and 7-zip is open sauce.

That is incorrect. Winrar does not cost anything. The trial software works forever. You can however register to show support for the product and get rid of the ok button. Pkware was great in it's time but it's been obsolete for many years now. Winrar is a tiny program that handles many formats and has some of the best features combined with speed and compression. You don't see people making volumes of DVD with pkzip. They use rar and for a reason

This forum is quite nice how it handles file attachments.

I had the trail and it was annoying! With 7-zip I can show my support just by using the product.

Doesn't really matter what you use as long as it handles all formats

Only time I use zip is to uncompress. I've used Winrar for years though to compress stuff especially larger files that have to be broken down into volumes. The trial does say it exipres but it never stops working. Does 7-zip handle rar files also? Maybe I'll give it a go

Yup 7-zip does do .rar.

7-zip compression is even better than rar. And it supports multi-volume spanning, something I needed when releasing the Basin And Range map.

First post, have to be logged in to see it.

Ta for that.

Found that in game, the map on my machine only shows Los Angles to New York - seeing as some of the objectives need to include going to San Francisco, what do i need to alter/change/do to enable the game to show the full width of the map?

Post by **Warll** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 10:37 pm

ummm,,, what did you change in the first place?

dogsbody42 · Post by **dogsbody42** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 10:40 pm
