texts:
When playing league of legends I commonly like to google for statistics, such as this article and as such, I play on borderless mode so I can make use of my three screens.  Commonly I can be found playing a game on the central screen, watching a movie (netflix) on my right screen and either posting on here, or doing other cool things on the left screen.

However, recently I have found that I am getting problems with my FPS dropping to around 15fps while playing all of my games on borderless mode.  These games range from watch dogs, to league of legends, even to portal 2.  I am concerned that this was not happening before, and is just happening now.  Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?  I don't' have any problems in proper full screen mode, but it makes going between screens more tricky.

I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 and I am using three screens running on 1920x1080 resolution.  I play all the games at max settings which can be done easily with my Intel Core i7-3630QM processor.  Any other technical details can easily be added, if needs be put the other stuff I need to put here in a comment.

I have GTA online on PS3. My avatar has a nice place and some decent cars. I just got a PS4 and GTA Online for it.

Can I simply have 2 online avatars attached to the same PSN account? Can I still play on the PS3 with my buddy if I play on the PS4?


texts: How much related story is there between parts of The Witcher series?

texts:
I'm new to the Witcher series and wonder if I should spend time going through all of them. I read that the story is somehow related and there's even ability to import saves from previous parts into the next ones.
I had a similar experience with Mass Effect, where having started with second piece I eventually replayed the game starting from ME1 for a much more rich experience when I could understand story behind characters from ME1 (and later ME2) showing up in the game.

Thus ultimately my question is, how the three Witchers are related in terms of story (NPCs with history, locations, quest decisions etc.) and if how much time will I have to devote to parts 1 and 2 if I only consider the core story-line of those?

There's a related question, but it only considers the first two Witchers.

texts: Some “Serious Sam” Levels End Prematurely

texts:
While playing through Serious Sam II (PC) I found that some of the levels ended prematurely (as though the level were successfully completed).

For example, on the first level of planet Ellenier, Greendale, the level is supposed to end when you enter the castle after killing the two Big Spiders and Cannons that materialize when you approach it. However, the level often ends before that, once the enemies in the village have been killed, before the Big Spiders and Cannons are even spawned.

Similarly, in the first level of Kronor, Area 5100, the level is supposed to end after you enter the tunnel and kill all the aliens, then pick up the minigun that materializes. However, the level keeps ending early, after the other monsters outside are killed (and before the prisoners are even freed).

Later, while playing Serious Sam: Next Encounter (GameCube), I notice the same behavior in a couple of the bonus levels.

In The Silk Road, there is a gauntlet in which you fight numerous monsters, then at one point, you get in the combine to mow down even more monsters. Eventually, you get to the gates of the palace and enter to end the level. However, the level often ends whether or not you reach the palace. It definitely ends if the combine is destroyed or runs out of fuel, but even if you get in then get out and an unknown amount of time passes.

In The Geothermal Tunnels, you are in the submarine, underwater. Whether or not you take damage, eventually the air/gas runs out so it makes some sense that the level would end at that point even if you have not reached the end, though it could just as easily kill you, thus require reaching the end to complete.

If I ignore all the goodies, monsters, secrets, etc. and just go straight towards the end, I can get to it, but trying to get everything in the levels seems to cause this to happen. It seems as though there may be a timer of some sort, but if there is, where/when it is triggered or how long it has is unknown.

Another thing that they all have in common is that they all include vehicles, but then, there are other levels that include vehicles which do not exhibit this behavior.

Does anyone know what the trigger or triggers are for the levels or why they may be completing prematurely?


texts: How can I bind something in autoexec.cfg so that it doesn't get rebound by default bindings or whatever is set up in settings?

texts:
I want to rebind mouse1, shift, ctrl and some other keys so that they also clear decals in csgo. I did that in autoexec.cfg:

bind r "+reload; r_cleardecals"
bind shift "+speed; r_cleardecals"
bind ctrl "+duck; r_cleardecals"
bind mouse1 "+attack; r_cleardecals"

However these bindings are being overwritten by simple bindings which are set up in csgo settings. Is there a way to prevent them from being reset? Ideally I want to be able to bring autoexec.cfg to a new computer with csgo and have everything configured there just working.

I've had some maps that do not show up in the atlas. For example, dig as well as precinct is not highlighted when I do a search for them in the atlas screen. Although, in their descriptions (map tooltip when hovering mouse over), it's indicated that they belong to a certain region.

Is it a bug? if not, what's the point of running these maps at all since they will not progress the game?


texts: How to get extra achievements at the talos principle?

I finished the game and reached all 3 endings, but there are still quite a lot achievements, which I haven't got (in order of "i have no idea how to get it"):

LOL (Laugh at the pointlessness of existence). What the hell is it?)) Can I laugh at this game?
Split Personality (Communicate with your double). I touched my record and the Shepard too.
Hedging My Bets (Do as you're told (for now)). I did how I was told quite a few times, following Elohim's order to collect sigils, to go on the light, to turn back from the stairs - all these doesn't help.
Know Your Limits (Accept Elohim's wisdom). Again, I turned back and went to the lighting door, accepting what Elohim told me, but didn't got this achievement.
Press The Serpent (Expose the flaws in the code). I know that I can reach the code by pressing F1, and I even changed a value of one variable, this didn't help me.

How to get them?
Please use spoiler tags.


texts:
I was going for ghost in a level, and had no way across a courtyard.  I ended up possessing one of the guards as he was going past, then going towards the door.  The possession ended just shy of the door, with me in front of the victim, but I didn't hear the chime for being detected, so quickly opened the door to the new area.  At the end of the mission, it showed I'd been detected once, but I didn't think anyone else had detected me.

When possession ends, does the victim automatically detect you if you're in their FOV?

I was also wondering if you can have a world without a woodland mansion, and if so, what the chance is that this happens. Thanks!


texts: Is it possible to reach the Claptrap above Marcus's store in Fyrestone?

texts:
I have been playing the first Borderlands game for quite some time now, and for the most part I have found it incredibly enjoyable. The gameplay of Roland, Lilith, Mordecai, & Brick stays varied enough to encourage playing as all four characters, and the 4 DLC packs (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, & Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot) add hours of additional fun.

However, while in the Firestone area at the beginning of the game, I noticed something rather odd: a bright, green Claptrap standing on a cliff behind Marcus's store. I have managed to get on top of the store, but have yet been able to reach the little robot. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a hidden easter egg put in for a laugh by the developers. (Note: I do not know if it matters, but my copy of Borderlands is a PS3 Game of the Year Edition)

texts: Should I be worried about overwriting buildings?

texts:
When I place a new road or a building in a section I had previously zoned for RCI space, sometimes the new structure overlaps an existing RCI building. Simcity seems pretty relaxed about this, only highlighting the structure in yellow as I place the new structure, but not warning me excessively. When I finalize the placement of this new road or building, the RCI buildings that are highlighted are destroyed.

This usually fixes itself, a new RCI building is built in the reduced space now available. But should I avoid this? Does it cause any, to borrow a DF term, unhappy thoughts in my Sims?

texts: Are small monsters synchronized among hunters?

texts:
In previous Monster Hunter games, when two or more players were hunting together, the same small monsters would appear for all players, but their position and behaviour was not the same for everyone. It was common to see another hunter swipe at empty air and a small monster die to nothing a few meters away.

The given reason for this behaviour was that synchronizing small monsters would take up precious processing power while not being all that noticeable in a hunt. Now that Monster Hunter is on newer consoles which might have more processing power to spare, are small monsters synchronized among all hunters?


texts:
This seems to be a question for myth busters. The point is that the claimant that I press will become my vassal. Everywhere I search for an answer people are answering differently.

The claimant should not gain a higher title then yours.

To me this means I can vassal an entire kingdom if I am emperor or a county if I'm a duke by just inviting someone with a claim to my court and press his claim in a war. He will become my vassal and my land spreads

You should land the claimant a higher title then he can gain

In this case you can only do this as a king (or perhaps petty king?) since as a duke I have to give away my title of duke in order to gain a county as a vassal. Likewise, this seems unwanted if I'm an emperor, as the emperor of 3 kingdoms I would not want to give away 1 kingdom in order to gain a duchy.

Even if I could gain a kingdom I would end up with a vassal holding as much kingdoms as I do making him extremely powerful.

texts:
I've started gambling items in order to get better gear.  As expected, this is a very expensive endeavour, and I run out of gold in short order.  To this end, I am attempting to maximize my playing so I pick up the items that are worth the most.  I am aware that items that improve class skills, such as wands, orbs, and scepters, are worth a lot of gold when vendored.  I also pick up all magic items as well.  The problem is, many magic items only sell for 200-300 gold, while taking up a lot of space in my inventory.

I have attempted to search for a list that shows how affixes modify the base item value, but all my searches just bring up websites offering to sell me items for real cash.

So, my question is two-fold: does anyone have any tips on how to bring back only the most valuable items, magical or otherwise?  And does anyone have a list of how affixes modify the base price?

texts:
I have a situation here which I am unable to solve.

I bought a PC last year March, here are my specs:

Intel Core i3 550 @ 3GHz
4 GB RAM @400 MHz
XFX GeForce 9500 GT graphics card 1GB @550MHz
500 GB HDD

Lately as soon as I load my save game of Skyrim, it crashes. I have been playing Skyrim since I joined this site.

Crashes as in the entire scene gets red lines. I can not ALT + TAB back or even CTRL + ALT + DEL either.

My only recourse is a hard reset via the power button. Can not take a screen shot either.

I have the latest Forceware 296.10 drivers also. This has been happening since the last 2 weeks. I always use Driver Sweeper to clean my old drivers, since that is what XFXForce recommends before installing new drivers.

I installed MSI Afterburner lately to see my GPU temperature. My GPU is default, never over-clocked it. In MSI's Afterburner, I can not adjust fan speed. It is greyed out. Also in settings there is no fan tab.

With normal Internet browsing it stays at 51 C. Ran Memtest86 over night with level 11. Took about 13 hours, but no errors in my RAM.

I even re-installed my OS, with just the 296 drivers. The fan for the GPU does come on. I can play Diablo 2. I can not get past Warcraft 3's menu selection.

There WAS some dust in my machine, but I always try and keep everything clean, since in my home town dust is an issue. Always keep cool my entire PC cabinet.

My friend came with his functioning graphics card, we bought our PCs at the same time with exact same specifications. His card did not work either. Same problem with the scene freezing with red lines.

I did do my research before posting here. That is how I was able to learn about MSI Afterburner, Driver Sweeper, SpeedFan etc. I followed posts on Tom's Hardware too regarding people that had similar problems. One person suggested and was followed by worked as well the suggestion to "Bake the card in an oven".

Since I bought it, played Diablo 2 for months, Starcraft 2 campaign for months and Skyrim recently for months. Bought ME3 also.

I am at my wits end. I do not know what else to do. I can go out and buy a card, but my friend's card did not work either.

I can use the machine for Eclipse or VS2010 development just fine. Just not with 3D gaming.

Can some experienced gamer(s) shed some light on this scenario? Is it a 3D graphics card problem? Will a brand new card work? What else can I try to pin point the problem?

Thanks.

Edit

Replaced my PSU with a new Corsair CX430. Problem is still there.

texts:
I just recently got a hold of a G27 Racing wheel and been playing F1 2010 with it ever since.

Since F1 2010 is from Codemasters I assumed the older titles like DiRT 1+2 and GRID will also have awesome support for Racing Wheels and bought those.

After trying to play Grid now for almost 30 minutes I'm about to give up and go back to Keyboard driving since I can't seem to get the wheel to properly reset itself.

In F1 the wheel is centered like a real wheel of a car. If you let it go it will go back to it's center position and if you turn it only 10% your tires will only steer slightly.

In Grid there is absolutely no centering on the wheel (even if I turn force feedback on) and you can't really drive that way since it quite literally maps wheel movement to normal keys - so 10% on the wheel equals a pressed right key on a keyboard.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

So Windows was giving me some troubles this weekend, and suffice it to say that I had to reinstall my OS.  Instead of wiping my drive, I just installed over the previous installation, preserving all my files so that they wouldn't need downloading again.

I've run the Oculus installer twice since reinstalling Windows, but when I try to install any game that requires additional actions after downloading (games and apps that require the "Finish Install" action), I get a 1971021 error.  This happens for both fresh installs (I uninstalled one of the apps and then tried to reinstall it, as well as installing an app I never downloaded prior to reinstalling Windows) as well as for the games that I had backed up.  The exact error text is:

  Redistributable info missing. Internal error when we're missing info for a required redistributable package.

Presumably this means the Visual C++ redistributable packages, which I've run for the 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2015 versions (both x86 and x86_64).  I've also tried setting the owner of the folder to "Administrators" (as that is what most folders in Program Files are set to) without any luck.

Searching for this error code through Google and the Oculus site doesn't return anything useful.

What is causing this, and how do I fix it?

The Power Play stats screen for Li Yong-Rui lists the 15% outfitting price reduction under the heading "Control systems", so naturally I would assume that only control systems have this bonus.

So in which of Li Yong-Rui's systems does the outfitting reduction apply? Control systems? Exploited systems? What about the HQ system, Lembava?

texts: How high is the production bonus of a great engineer in Civ5?

texts:
To quote the manual:

Special Ability: Hurry Production
You can expend a Great Engineer to create
a sudden burst of production in a
city. The production is immediately
applied to whatever is presently being
built in the city – unit, building or
Wonder. This will usually be enough
production to immediately finish all
but the most massive Wonders, and it
will drastically shorten their
production time.

I had a great engineer during modern times, and using it to help produce the Statue of Liberty (1200 prod needed) yielded 750 production. Letting it help along for a Stock Exchange immediately finished this building (650 prod cost).
I assume that the amount of prod. generated is somehow game-stage related? Are there any known specific rules?

texts: Using /testfor in minecraft to check if a player has a certain item in their inventory

texts:
I am wondering how I can use the /testfor command in Minecraft 1.8+ to check whether a certain player (For example the nearest player to a command block) has a number of items.

For example, if a player pushes a button, this causes a command block to check if they have 10 iron ingots. If they do, the command block outputs a signal to another command block that takes 10 iron from them and gives them a diamond, making a simple shop.

IS this possible? If it is, could someone reply with the commands, as I am not very good with redstone. Thanks :)


texts: Bitrate and Resolution Settings for Recording osu! with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) with a GTX 1060 Laptop?

texts: Recently I've been having many issues with osu! lagging a lot while recording it with OBS. It was suggested to me that I lower the Bitrate and Resolution in OBS settings. I have lowered it to 7200 bitrate and 720p at 60 FPS (I'm using VBR as rate control and the new NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder). I am wondering what the best combination of bitrate and resolution settings would be for a computer with these kind of specs (for reference, I use a Razerblade 15 with an i7, GTX 1060, and 16 GB of RAM). By "best," I mean what would be the ideal settings that stop the lag in osu! but also allow me to have a good quality video. Thanks in advance.


texts: I have noticed that when doing manual firing orders, unless you specify in the next turn to change firing coordinates, the gun will fire at the same position turn after turn. When you're captaining a ship with 8 guns, it becomes a massive pain to have to reassign targets to every gun every turn. Is there a better way of doing this? Autofire may work, but as in How does autofire work?, auto fire doesn't seem to operate on optimal efficiency.

texts:
I’ve been playing Outer Worlds and while in Edgewater, I did a quest for Vicar Max and he began to make a case for why I should allow him to join my ship crew. One of his arguments was that he used to be “quite the 32nd”

and left many an opponent bleeding in the field.

My friend and I have tried searching what this could possibly mean, but googling “what does 32nd mean” just gives me results explaining that 32nd describes the 32nd item in a sequence.

Does anyone know what Vicar Max’s statement is in reference to?

texts:
I was playing the other day and I was west of Megaton, ahead of where the road splits into two, below a cliff I encountered 3 nonhostile wastelanders, upon talking to them, they mentioned about going for a treasure north I believe, then they turned hostiles and tried to kill me.

I managed to kill them and didn't check the new marker on my map, sadly I was low on health before this and a giant radscorpion ambushed me not far from there and killed me.

Sadly I didn't save for quite sometime and when I tried to find these guys I failed to do so. It was nighttime but I don't know around what time when I encountered these guys.

Does anybody know how to trigger these guys?

texts: Will load times improve if I keep my games on an external SSD vs my windows drive?

I have an Acer nitro 5 gaming laptop, and it came with windows on the hard drive . But I had an m.2 ssd at home and I attached it to my laptop. So now I have windows on my hard drive and an unused ssd as well. So thinking as per performance (fastness ,loading speed) I was wondering to put my games on my ssd rather than my windows installed hard drive

Will it load faster on my separate ssd rather than my windows installed hard drive?
Do you think putting my programmes on the ssd as well will give higher speeds (programmes such as winrar and Corel draw, photoshop etc.)?

texts: Too many items in the end is causing my client to disconnect from my realm

texts:
Short version:

Huge number of items in the end, are causing my client to disconnect when I log on to the realm.

Suggestions?

My current plan is to keep logging on to the realm manually, and hope the game clock advances enough each time, that eventually all the items despawn.  I see no other possible solution.

Longer Explanation on how the situation came about:

I have a realm.

In the realm, I have been pushing items into End Portals in my overworld, to transport them more efficiently to spawn.

I have been playing one of my kid's accounts on the realm, on the overworld.

I was keeping end chunks loaded (and thus items being processed) by having my personal account (the owner) AFK in the end.

Unfortunately, the end AFK account disconnected, and now when I log on with my owner account, Realms hangs.  When I log in with any user account, I can play fine, as long as I don't go to the end.  If I go to the end, the game hangs, and eventually disconnects.

I am inferring from this, that there are a large number of items in the end, causing the game to lag so massively that all network connections timeout.

My account that can execute commands is in the end, so every time I connect, I disconnect without being able to open a command window.

Updates

I tried the "log in a bunch of times, to advance the game clock" strategy, but it's pretty clear that the game is 'resetting' to the last saved time.  It is not moving the clock forward.  I'm thinking the game is crashing or hanging.

I tried @Corsaka's idea, at spawn, I set up a command block on a 6 tick timer that executes the command:

  kill @e[type=item]

I tested this on a single player world, and it worked as expected (if I go to the end, items at the end are deleted by the command.)

When I do the same at the realm, the realm just crashes/timesout/resets itself back to a previous saved game state.

Current plan is to download Realm to local machine, and work on it there.  That seems the best solution at this point.  Interested in other options.

texts: How can I tell whether a character is male or female?

texts:
I know, just look at the portrait, right?  But I have this two-year-old kid in my prison that my soldiers captured after a siege, and I'm honestly not sure if they're a girl or a boy:

The portrait looks pretty ambiguous, and it doesn't help that I'm playing in a new part of the map (west Africa) so I'm not familiar with all the character models yet.
The name also doesn't say anything to me.
The line under the name that often says "Son of X" or "Daughter of X" just says "Your Prisoner".
I can't look at their sexuality icon, since, well, the kid is two years old and doesn't have one yet.
For the same reason (and because my character is also a child) there are no right-click menu options to marry, seduce or romance them.
I don't even seem to be able to arrange a betrothal for them, either directly or via their liege.  I guess you can't betroth a prisoner?
None of the tooltips or dialog boxes that I've tried refers to them as "he" or "she".  And I've tried quite a few.  They all just use the kid's name, or don't refer to him/her directly at all.
I don't think there's any way to figure out their gender based on inheritance, either, since all titles they have a claim to have equal inheritance law.

So, any other suggestions?  I suppose I can just wait until they get older, but surely there's some better way.
(Ps. I did eventually find a solution, kind of, and I've posted it below.  But I'm still hoping that there's some easier and better way that I've missed.)


texts: How do you increase the Limit Break bar?

texts:
There have been a lot of discussions over the past couple years on what does or doesn't charge the Limit Break bar, but most of what I can find is either hypothetical speculation or contradicted by other commentators.

The best I've been able to find is a consensus on the following:

The bar charges normally over time, taking 6 minutes and 40 seconds to fill the first segment.
Certain boss mechanics can charge the bar, i.e. interrupting Ifrit's Eruption or killing his nails.
Healing a player while they are under 10% health adds a charge.

What else can charge the bar?  I've seen back-and-forth on topics like tanks taking damage, dps performing crits, and arguments over whether these provide a small one-time boost or speed up the rate of charging until full.

Does anybody have documented proof that other actions can contribute?


texts:
Peers often tell me that Dota is more about skill of the player, and not really on the heroes themselves.

This talk happened after the epic win of Alliance versus Na'Vi, with me agreeing that Na'Vi had the better lineup in terms of hero strength. One thing I didn't consider was that the Alliance lineup can travel all over the map REALLY well.

I am skeptic though. Is it safe to say, that any dota hero lineup can win against any other hero lineup fairly?

for example,
a team picks a lineup of Chen,  ezalor, wisp, slayer and rylai.
Does that team have a fair chance of winning against Doom, Magina, Sven, Treant, Warlock ( much more rounded team in my opinion)?

Assuming all teams are incredibly skilled at each hero, are the both teams of heroes evenly matched?

Can I have an example of a dota 2 lineup that can NEVER win, or a lineup that's a GUARANTEED win?

texts: Fire Emblem Heroes weapon Mt stat not added to damage?

texts:
Every site I've found describes combat in FE Heroes to be Strength + Weapon Mt - Enemy's Defense(or resistance if magic attack). However in testing this I've found that the Weapon Mt is not included. For example:

Attacker: Strength 46, Weapon Mt 15

Defender: Resistance 25

Damage = 21

Shouldn't it be 36 damage if Weapon Mt is added? There were no skills or adjacency bonuses involved so that is not the reason. Am I missing some other factor?

Edit: It was a Green Tome user against another Green tome user.

the question: i'm confused about rendering and lagging, should i build farms far away from my base and spend some minutes afking in the chunk to farm? if yes, should i build them in different areas to prevent stacking too much in few chunks?
how many chunks far away from constantly loaded chunks??
and witch mechanics create lag? i know about to many hoppers and entities like minecarts are better to avoid

texts:
Steam just erased all my games without warning.  Here's my setup and what I've done recently that could be related (I'm including probably too much detail in the hopes it helps someone figure out what happened):

I've had my Steam account in use on 3 computers for months, and added a fourth about a month ago.  There were no issues with this other than the normal needing to coordinate which one is signed in at what time.
Yesterday I restored part of a backup (made on Computer A several months ago) to Computer B.  This was a bit problematic; it failed once, then again when I tried in Offline Mode, and worked the third time although there were connection issues and I had trouble getting Steam to exit after it finished.  In the end this exercise was entirely useless since Steam wanted to download the entire games again anyways.1
Today I completed some of the downloads on Computer B (COD1 and Worms Crazy Golf).
I then signed in on Computer C, forcing Computer B to be logged out.
Then I put Steam into Offline Mode on Computer C, and logged in on Computer B again.
Next I started up Worms Crazy Golf on B and exited Steam when I realized that B didn't have my saves since the game doesn't use Steam Cloud. (Despite this, Steam reported that it was syncing to Steam Cloud when I exited.)
Finally I started Steam on Computer A before connecting to the internet, and it naturally gave me a connection error.  I connected and hit Retry.  Instead of logging in it said something like "Exiting", the main window flashed briefly, and it exited.
I believe this is the point where it erased everything because the log-in window came back up about thirty seconds later and, while it remembered my username, it didn't remember my password and otherwise looked like it does when you start it up the very first time.
After signing in none of my games were marked as installed, and my Favorites menu was empty (and ended up empty on the other PCs as well).  My steamapps\common folder on the hard drive was empty and nothing could be recovered with undelete tools.

So, now I have a few questions:

Why did Steam erase everything?  Is this a known issue?
Did I do something "wrong"?  I was the one doing all of the actions, setting up and playing, though who knows what their heuristics thought of it.  My account doesn't appear to have been suspended or anything.
How can I prevent this from happening again?

1The re-downloading could be because there were updates to the games, but I don't think so since the downloads were the size of the entire games.  COD:MW2 couldn't possibly have had 11 GB of updates, right? Either way I am sticking to manual backups from now on, Steam's are too slow and obviously unreliable.

texts: I am having problems connecting to the Minecraft server from a 2nd machine in the local network

texts:
The kids have got into Minecraft and want to run their own multiplayer game locally, however, we can't get one computer to connect to the other, but the reverse connection works.

COMPUTER A is the better machine and we want to run the server on that as well as a client. COMPUTER B can only really run either the server or the client. It's good enough to run TF2 etc. so it's not underpowered.

What works:

Run the server on COMPUTER B. We can run the client on COMPUTER A and connect to the server without any problems. We can also run the client on COMPUTER B and connect to the server, but it's unplayable.

What doesn't work:

Run the server on COMPUTER A. Running the client on COMPUTER A works and gives a decent frame rate etc. However, from COMPUTER B when we try to connect it appears to work, but then 30 seconds later it times out. The server reports that the connection has been made and then lost.

We have Sygate personal firewall on COMPUTER A which has a 1GB network card. This computer is also running IPv6.

We have Comodo firewall pro on COMPUTER B which has a 100MB network card. This computer is still running IPv4.

The two are connected via a 1GB switch.

Both firewalls have rules set up to allow all local traffic of any protocol on any port through. We haven't tried turning the firewalls off (that's for this afternoon), but I thought I'd see if there was anything else I could try.

UPDATE

The messages in the server are:

  [INFO] User [/192.168.2.6:3222] logged in

then 30 seconds or so later:

  [INFO] User lost connection: End of stream

We've just tried with firewalls on both computers disabled and got the following:

  [INFO] Disconnecting /192.168.2.6:3172: Took too long to log in

Still at complete loss, but it does appear to indicate that it's a network connectivity issue.

UPDATE 2

I should have added that we're running XP SP3 on both machines. COMPUTER A is new hardware and (obviously) a new installation of all drivers and software. COMPUTER B is old hardware (hence the problem) but has recently been reformatted/reinstalled.

UPDATE 3

Just tried again with server version 0.2.4 and the latest client and we get the following message on the server log:

  [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?

This is with nothing else running on this machine and no one connected. I would have thought an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz with 2 Gb of RAM and Physical Address Extension should be able to run the server software OK.

texts: My rockets lose stability when trying to launch

texts:
I've been playing KSP since about 0.22. I've been having a bunch of problems since 1.0 though, where I cannot even get into orbit.

The major issue is that with every rocket design, when it comes to gravity turn, the rocket goes into an uncontrollable spin in that direction- the command pod torque seems to do nothing now. I tried adding several reaction wheels (like, 10 at the top of the rocket), but it had no measurable effect. I added some of the wings, which seem to help keeping the craft stable but only when it's going up- when trying to stably turn the rocket in-atmosphere they don't seem to help.

It seems somewhat to me like the controls just aren't working properly. If you're going straight up, and you push left or right, the whole craft wobbles tremendously because 10 consecutive reaction wheels are not a good structural element and you're applying a lot of torque. But when the craft is spinning, there's no wobbling at all and pushing the keys has absolutely no effect.

What's the cause of this huge change in stability mechanics and how can I adapt my older rocket designs?

texts:
I'm trying to figure out how the damage is calculated in a game, but have been unable to. I'm not sure if this is the right platform to ask this. If not, pls let me know in the comments and I'll delete the question right away.

I have tested it with 3 characters, fighting 2 other characters separately.

DMG        damage done to defender
ATTACK     attack power of the attacker
ARMOR      total amount of armor of the defender
LVL        lvl of the defender
REDUCTION  total amount of dmg reduced (ATTACK - DMG)

The data is as follows:

          DMG     ATTACK    ARMOR    LVL  REDUCTION
Norma    9.142    13.342    1.064    160    4.200
OD-01    4.305     6.284    1.064    160    1.979
Vesas    3.222     4.703    1.064    160    1.481

Norma    9.674    13.342    1.039    180    3.668
OD-01    4.556     6.284    1.039    180    1.728

Someone pointed out the formula should roughly be like:

reduction in % = ARMOR / (200 + LVL * 20)

But this formula is off by a small margin and was hoping I could find the exact formula to calculate the damage. Anyone an idea how the DMG is calculated from ATTACK, ARMOR, and LVL?

Also, would it have any effect to his PS3 as he has only agreed to let me try it if I know what I'm doing. Can this wipe his PS3? Can I copy my profile and saved data to my PS3? I haven't backed any of it up but both PS3s are fully working.

Is there a setting I can change so both can join either game?

When I want to open Darksiders II's Steam store page I get to the starting page of the steam shop.

==>

It seems to be deleted from the store. When you search for the game there can only be found a Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition which can (currently) be purchased for 6,--€ (normal price: 29,99€, Germany). Furthermore this edition is evaluated very negatively (15% positive !!!).

When I google Darksiders 2 Steam the first pages also redirect me to the starting page of the steam store.

Is it a current bug (maybe because of the momentary sale?) or has Darksiders II - in the normal version which I have - been deleted from the Steam Store?

I can't find any statements for this. Do you know more about this issue?


texts: How should I allocate my stats to maximize damage on a split scaling weapon?

texts:
I assume (but correct me if I'm wrong), that if I had a weapon that had something like E scaling on Strength but B on Dexterity, I should just raise Dexterity to the softcap before putting points in Strength.

However, when the scaling is evenly split, say C/C, should I alternate which stat I raise every level, or will that bet the same as just raising one to the softcap and then the other? I want to keep my damage maximized as I level up.

texts: How to improve Civilization 5 savegame load performance?

texts:
My PC running Windows XP sp3 has a Athlon 64 X2 3600+ processor, a 7200RPM 160GB HD, a ATI 3850 graphics card and 2GB of RAM. (Note that there's plenty of free space on the HD and it's defragmented regularly.)

Loading a civilization savegame of a normal sized map of a somewhat progressed game takes > 5 minutes. I think that is too long :-)

Should I get an SSD? Should I upgrade my system to a more modern processor? The gfx card can't really be limiting my load performance, or can it? Disable Antivirus?


texts: How can I control my distance from the final boss?

If you read further and don't expect unmarked spoilers, I don't know what to say.

In the final phase of the final boss battle, it seems like a crapshoot as to whether I'm close enough to punch Jergingha's weak points or too far away to hit them with anything but Gun or maybe a level 5 Sword, and it doesn't appear that I can do anything to move towards or away aside from waiting for him to do a long-range meteor toss and teleport back at a different range. It's especially annoying to try and reach his feet. How does this positioning work?

texts:
Xbox 360 Slim with 4 Gb HDD and two USBs: 3.1 Gbs free (4 Gbs total) and 4.6 Gbs free (16 Gbs total)

Titanfall, which I have enough overall storage for its 1.5 Gbs, says I need to store it on the HDD which is nearly full on its own.

On the HDD, Black Ops II has 2.2 Gbs (separate files for Title Update, Vengeance map pack, something else). Curiously, BLOPS2 also has a Title Update on at least one of the other two USBs. Possibly both.

If I move the BLOPS2 files (all or just some like Vengeance since it's biggest) onto a USB stick, in either the ones with free space or a new stick, will it cause any online gameplay problems or the same problem with Titanfall prompting me to place it on the HDD?

texts: Hidden modifiers to various stats in Diablo 3

texts:
I've been reading around and found various topics on different hidden modifiers to stats/attributes in Diablo 3. Some of the ones I found most confusing include the Life oh Hit (LoH) modifier, which is based on the skill you are using. Others include lifesteal modifiers for higher difficulties, monster HP and damage modifiers and more people join the game, etc.

My question is whether or not there is some place where all this information is compiled, or where people are getting answers from. For example, is there a list of all the LoH modifiers for every single skill? Is there a list of the lifesteal modifier for each difficulty (I already found that it is 70% for Nightmare, 40% for Hell, and 20% for Inferno, but I'm still wondering where this information comes from)? Is there a website that lists the different damage formulas, and how DoT (damage over time) effects stack (or don't stack) with each other?

Overall, I'm basically looking for something like a game guide which explains what each stat does (including secondary stats like resistances, armor, etc), and what modifiers exist on them in each of the difficulties. I know that for Diablo II and Titan Quest, these weren't provided by the game makers, but were instead discovered by the players and later posted somewhere so everyone could access it.

texts:
In Fallout Shelter, when I send a dweller out to explore the wasteland he or she always finds an item within the first two hours, then simply doesn't find anymore items. The message log is normal and continues to indicate the dweller is finding caps and earning experience.

Even after 12 hours of exploring he has only had the one item from the first 2 hours. This isn't just bad luck because my dweller has 17 luck (lucky formal wear) and I have consistently never found more than one item during exploration.

texts: How many vendors should I assign to my markets?

texts:
I started playing Banished again during this latest beta release. I was curious about vendors in the market. I didn't used to use the markets before, but I find it is a great storage facility and vendors stockpiling it with goods is great.

However, I was curious about the optimal amount of vendors needed in the market. It starts out with 12 by default, but I quickly lower this to 1/1, because that is all that seems to be needed as my one vendor is keeping that market fully stocked with no issues. Is there some kind of population to vendor ratio that should be maintained for the best results? Or is it a more raise the vendors if they seem to be slacking in resources?


texts:
After reading this question I understand agrarian skies modpack generates the world with nothing in it.
I recently found a world seed with multiple small biomes very close to each other, an ideal world for me.
I want to re-use this world, but start again on agrarian skies (nothing in the world, HQM totally reset, thaumcraft reset, etc.).
I have tried:

Generating a new world and traveling to the exact co-ordinates of my old world. This seems to have different biomes (due to it being a new seed).

Copying my old world and attempting to remove all player added blocks manually. (this is far too time consuming, not an ideal solution, though possible if nothing else exists).

Copying the world and removing the region directory. (this seems to generate a new seed, rather than use the old seed and generate a new world).

Is it possible to generate a new agrarian skies world from my seed so that I have a blank world with all these small biomes?
If not, is it possible to take the old agrarian skies world directory and convert it into a blank one?
Or, is there a command to remove all player added blocks?

Extra info
This is on Agrarian skies multiplayer using agrarian skies v3.1.2 (I think).
I generate the world via the server startup.
Apologies for multiple questions, but I think they all relate to the same problem.
The world seed is 3922357017991451086, if it makes any difference.


texts: I randomly got a corrupted DLC which I didn't buy?

texts:
I was playing Just Sweat when I noticed an interesting song - Crying Blood by V V Brown. I never bought this song, so I thought maybe the game glitched and I received a DLC for free. The cover was very low resolution, and when I went to play it, the game said "the song could not be loaded because the data is corrupted."

I went to Archives under Extras, and it wasn't there. When I went back to the song menu, it was gone.

Does anybody know why this happened?

EDIT: Apparently the same thing happened in this video with Futebol Crazy. A person in the comments said they also had the same thing with Crying Blood, but I still couldn't figure out why it happened.


texts: UQM: Star *constellations* for balance of bio and mining

texts:
Lists of individual wealthiest stars can be found, but I'm interested in the best star constellations overall where I can take one or two extended trips with a full complement of cargo modules (nine or ten), landers and fuel, and loot the most biology (or rainbow worlds) and minerals possible.  This would be for around mid-game, where I just want to complete all the building up quickly, buy all the tech upgrades and fighters I need, and then proceed to go through the rest of the game plot from a position of strength.

My current favorite target for this is Vulpeculae, as it seems to have lots of both, a Melnorme visit point, and it has plot points too.  But I haven't visited every system in the game, so I thought there might be others I haven't found.  Since part of the point is to acquire bio for tech upgrades, a lone supergiant (i.e. Zeeman) or other high-risk-only destination won't do for this purpose, even if it's loaded.

texts:
So I've made a mob spawned in my survival world and I am currently using a button, redstone torch tower and a long redstone line to dispense the water. (I made it in a creative world and am using daylight sensors observer blocks to dispense the water.)

The problem is that I want a better way to flush out mobs rather than the button at the bottom of the spawner so it does it automatically. The daylight sensor/observer method leaves the water out for way too long so is there a redstone clock that has a long delay, then a short delay, then a long delay etc.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I'm assuming that it's ONLY bosses and other storyline-related enemies that aren't tameable but I figured it's worth asking.  Is EVERY random encounter enemy in the game tameable?  If not, which aren't?


texts: I can't figure out level 16 from the "hard" category Lineum puzzle game

texts:
Given that I found this game on a site for kids, it shouldn't be this difficult... :)

Lineum is a puzzle game where you have to draw a single continuous line to turn all the tiles green. In the "hard" category (there's also novice, easy, and normal), level 16 looks like this:

I can't seem to figure this out. If you ask the game for a hint, it tells you where to start:

...but that hasn't been terribly helpful, either.

Note that it is possible to flip a tile twice if you go through it with perpendicular lines, and all the other puzzles in the "hard" category make use of this.

I can't find any walkthroughs or solutions to this game. Is there someone smarter than me out there who can figure this out?


texts: Powering a Redstone Lamp on top of a Piston

texts:
I am trying to design a street lighting system which is controlled by a light sensor.

What I would like to have is for the redstone lamps to be lowered, flush with the ground, during the day but at night a piston below raises them up from the ground and they switch on.

At first (having had no experience with pistons) I thought this would be easy. I figured if the piston is powered on, then it will transer power to the lamp. Apparently this is not the case. The lamp raises from the ground but it is not switched on.

I can get the lamp to switch on by putting a power source next to it, above ground, of course, but I'd rather this was totally clean, with just the lamp visible.

Is there a way of neatly powering this lamp when it is raised?

I have tried googling, but nobody else seems to have tried this before (or at least not documented it).


texts: Payday 2 on Linux: locked at 60fps with NVIDIA's Kernel Mode Setting

texts:
I use Nvidia's DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) Kernel Mode Setting (see here) to get rid of screen tearing on my desktop. I've also tried to use compton to get rid of screen tearing but their solution doesn't seem to do anything.

Sadly this also locks my fps to 60 in Payday 2 and it causes tons of mouse input lag, making aiming very difficult. The vsync or max fps settings don't do anything.

I don't have this problem with any other game.

These are my laptop specs:

i7 7700HQ with Intel HD Graphics 630 (but using dedicated GPU of course. Both are enabled in BIOS settings)
GTX 1050 2GB VRAM (with latest proprietary drivers)
8GB RAM

Disabling DRM KMS fixes the issue, but I want to keep it enabled to fix screen tearing on my desktop.

Things I've tried so far:

Adding vblank_mode=0 %command% to launch options
Turning vsync on and off again
Setting an fps limit in-game
https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Payday_2#60.2B_FPS_not_applying_in_settings
https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Payday_2#Mouse_input_delay

None of these work for me.

Can anyone, who also has Payday 2 and an NVIDIA GPU, enable DRM KMS and see what happens?

texts: I need all items (ice) to stop flowing in to my reactor when the filter isn't powered. Let's say my reactor is full on ice, but it has a slot for 32 ice. The filter pulls out a whole stack, and put's it in the reactor leaving 32 left over. Since that ice has no where to go, it gets stuck in the pipe. What I want is that when I unpower the filter, no residual items will flow back in to the reactor. Is this possible?


texts:
I got several conflicting sources

It starts with level 1. Then you hit it 6 times, it becomes level 3.
It starts with level 2. Then you hit it 6 times, it becomes level 3.
If  you create a level 1 turret and then turn on molten core, that level 1 turret becomes level 2 and you hit it 6 times, then it becomes level 3. If you activate molten core and then build a turret then it will start at level 1 you hit it 6 times and it becomes level 2.

Which of the 3 scenario is right?

Should I build a level 2 turrets and turn on molten or should I drop a level 1 turret turn on molten and quickly upgrade, or should I turn on molten and turn on turrets?


texts: How can I make the redstone repeat a task x times and reset it self?

texts:
So I'm trying to make a redstone circuit that can repeat a task x amount of times and then reset it self.

I was thinking of using a dropper and a hopper and use the hopper redstone signal (retrieved by a comparator) to check the amount, so lets say I need it to repeat a task 20 times, I place 20 items inside (along with the 3 items that are already inside the hopper, so it emits a 2 long signal once it has the 20 items from the dropper, I know how to do that part, but to the question, how can I make it reset to 3 on the hopper and 20 to the dropper?

The main question is the one described in the first paragraph and the title, the second one would be good to know, but idk if its possible.

texts: Do weapon stats include bonuses from skills, class mods, etc?

texts: It seems that weapon bonuses that are on the weapon itself are accounted for in the weapon's stats, but are bonuses for skills, class mods, badass bonuses, etc?  If not, is there any way I can see what my actual stats are?


texts: Is there any way I can do key combos on a steam controller (mac)

texts: I would really like to be able to do combinations like ctrl+rightarrow and things like that. As a mac user knows, to switch between fullscreen apps (and use mission control), you need to use the trackpad, but there are also some keyboard combinations, including ctrl+rightarrow and ctrl+leftarrow. I have set up the controller so that the left back paddle is control and the joystick is the arrow keys. When i hold the button down and flick the joystick, nothing happens. help?
