texts:
I have a TV and a monitor that are both HD. I have been switching both my PS3 and Xbox 360 between the two using HDMI ports successfully for the past 10 months. Last night my wife watched a Blu Ray movie disc while the PS3 was plugged into the TV. This morning, the TV no longer gets a signal through the HDMI port.

The HDMI port on the TV works: I can plug my 360 in and everything is fine.
The HDMI port on the PS3 and the HDMI cable work: I can plug my PS3 into my monitor and all is well.

I can plug in the AV cables from the PS3 to the TV and that works. The only problem is connecting the PS3 to the TV using HDMI.

I have tried holding down the power button on the PS3 to automatically reset the output. The TV shows 'No Signal.'

I have tried plugging in the AV cable and the HDMI cable at the same time, switching the TV to AV, and then manually changing the output to HDMI. When I switch the TV to HDMI it shows 'No Signal'.

I have tried connecting the PS3 to my monitor using HDMI and manually changing the resolution (1080p, 1080i, 720, 480) and then tried plugging it into the TV. The TV shows 'No Signal.'

I have tried unplugging both the PS3 and the TV and then retrying all of the above steps. The TV shows 'No Signal.'

Does anyone have any other ideas?

EDIT : I had not unplugged the HDMI cord from last night when I tried this morning.  I tried all three HDMI ports on the TV, none of them work.


texts: Which hold items are more effective during the battle phase? I've seen "duplicate" items throughout the game, such as the Zap Plate and the Magnet which both increase electric type moves. But which one gives you a greater increase to damage? I know there are others, such as the Flame Plate and Charcoal to increase fire moves, so how many different variances are there of these items and what does each do?

At the very least, I want to beat the game, but I tend to get most of the items as well (I never quite can get everything, but...) This is the first time that I've played my way through it.

So, what would be a fair estimate of how much total time I need to complete the game?

Is there a way I can get the game to generate a chunk of my map without having to get "close" to the chunk?


texts: XCOM 2 crashes with Pure Virtual Function call, GIsRunning == 1

texts:
This is a well-known bug, and I have read just about everything there is to find. It seems to occur in other games running on Unreal Engine too, but in XCOM 2 it happens so often that the game is simply not fun any more. It can happen whenever, but usually when in the base or returning to base.

Things I read about that might have worked for some and that I tried so far:

disabling all DLCs: makes it better, but doesn't completely go away
setting my swap file size manually to three times my RAM size (=3*16GB): doesn't help at all
I don't have mods
I have Windows 10 and a Geforce GTX 970 with latest drivers

Is there any remedy for these annoying crashes?

texts: Setting Xbox One language to English, while setting region to a non-English country

texts:
My Xbox profile region is set to The Netherlands, as I live there. However, I'd prefer to use my Xbox One in English. Unfortunately, the settings don't seem to offer the possibility to set the language and region to a combination that doesn't match.

To remedy this so far, I've set my language to English and my region to UK. However, some apps seem to have an issue with this. For example, Xbox Music will complain there's a region mismatch, and I must set my region to The Netherlands. Of course, once I do this, I can only select Dutch as a language.

Is it possible to keep the system language to English, while setting the region to The Netherlands?


texts:
So all palicos have one of three "team attacks":

Purrtuoso - The palicos heal you and increase your maximum health and
stamina
Rath-of-Meow - The palicos jump into a tank and attack the monster with ranged attacks
Flying F-Bomb - The palicos launch a rocket that staggers the monster and deals damage

...or at least I thought they could only have one of those three.

As I started to recruit palicos from high rank quests, I've noticed some of them have different abilities:

Purrtuoso/Water
Rath-of-Mix
Rath-of-Fast
(etc)

I'm assuming these abilities are variations on the three "base" ones, but what do they do and is there a full list of them? Their ingame descriptions are identical to those of the base abilities.

texts: What does it mean if a monster is "vulnerable"?

texts:
Pretty frequently I'll be fighting an enemy and alongside all of the damage numbers that come flying up, I'll see the word "Vulnerable" popup above the enemy hitbox briefly.

What does this convey? Is this a term for staggering an enemy with your attacks? Is it a specific condition like poison?

If it matters, I've been playing almost exclusively in the Finesse tree, using Faeblades and Daggers (whatever I find a better one of at the time), with a heavy investment into the passive skill that allows me a chance to poison my targets.


texts: How do I automate my farming and bee-keeping industries?

texts:
I've been trying to build fortresses that produce sheep and bees. It's not too bad, but I have to manually micromanage milking, shearing, cheese- and mead-making.

I can assign these tasks to individual workshops, but the moment the dwarves are unable to do a task, it gets cancelled, so I have to reassign it manually some time later. Or I can assign tasks via the manager, but then orders to the same workshop seem to stack up, so until n orders of shearing are completed, dwarves won't try to milk my sheep or make cheese. Both require significant micromanagement, which I can imagine only gets worse as the fortress grows.

What can I do to make these production chains (also: butchering by-products) handle themselves, so I can direct my attention elsewhere?

texts:
While exploring the ocean, you'll periodically receive notifications about the surrounding area when you approach certain areas for the first time.

For example, one notification

  tells you about a nearby cave system having fossilized remains.

A document I came across later in the game mentions several of these areas as places to search for important points of interest. The problem is, I want to find these areas again and have absolutely no clue where they are.

Is there a way to reset certain notifications to trigger again when I'm near the right area?

texts: PS4 controller only working wired in games on WIN10

texts:
I've been using my PS4 controller wired on Windows 10, but it's not too comfortable.
I tried on several occasions to get it running wireless but to no avail. I have successfully connected it to my PC using a Bluetooth adapter, and it shows as connected and it is lit up, but it doesn't work in-game. Only works wired.
I have tried using DS4Windows (the new one that's maintained), but the problem with that is that it makes it be recognized as an Xbox360 controller, changing all the prompts in-game to Xbox controls.
Is there a way to get it to work in games wirelessly with or without DS4Windows while also keeping it visible to the game as a PS4 controller?.. The 'DInput only' option in DS4Windows only works wired.


texts: Do tougher targets count as multiple kills in challenges?

texts:
In Prototype, challenges that required you to accumulate X kills within a certain timeframe  rewarded multiple kills for tougher targets (for instance, killing a tank would increase your kill count by 10).

One of the very first Radnet challenges in Prototype 2 would have you kill 30 targets with a grenade launcher within 30 seconds. Seeing how I have an obsessive compulsive disorder with challenges, I am really aiming to get this done, but have yet to find a sufficiently large mass of targets with which to accomplish this feat. However, if vehicles do count as more kills, I might be able to get this done.

So do the mechanics from Prototype carry over, or do I need to simply wait until I find a mass of targets on which to unleash explosive fury?


texts: Is there a technique to hand-to-hand fighting in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception?

texts:
From what I've been through so far, the hand-to-hand fights in Uncharted 3 seem to be pretty random and a lot of button mashing. It seems to be a lot of ☐ to punch, and the occasional Δ to counter, and sometimes randomly mashing ○ to struggle and throw.

Is there a consistent technique to taking down enemies faster? I know that if you can sneak up on someone, you can take them down quickly. And occasionally, some of the fights seem scripted if you're close to an object that you will smash someone into. But for the normal fights, are there moves, or combinations of moves that you can do to take the enemy down quicker?


texts: How many battles does it take to increase my Summoner support to S rank?

texts:
As of version 1.7.0, ally and summoner support were added to the game. These features emulate the support feature of the regular series in which units that battle alongside each other foster a relationship together and boost each others' stats when near each other.

After reading this notification, I immediately made Camilla my summoner support unit. However, after using her to battle, I didn't see any sort of experience or progress meter towards her next support rank, which is in line with the main series. However, being that this is Fire Emblem Heroes, I'm wondering if the criteria is any different for ranking up.

How many battles (roughly) need to be won with a support unit to increase their support rank? Is there a difference between summoner support and ally support or are they the same?

texts: How to decide whether an attribute scales well with certain skills?

texts:
Reading several guides and build regarding Guildwars 2 characters I often come across mentioning of attributes that scale well or not so well with certain skills. For example, power, supposedly, scales badly with the Necromancer's scepter skills. It is therefore advised to take precision with scepter because it scales better.

What I've come to understand is that skills use a certain formula according to attributes to come to their final damage output, and based on this formula some attribute contribute better than others.

I would like to know how to decide which attributes scale best with an arbitrary set of skills for any given class. Is there a way to figure this out rather than applying empirical testing?

texts: Can I Use a DLC Character on a Non-DLC PS3?

texts:
Okay, so a couple friends and I all have Borderlands 1 & 2 for the PS3, and I want to transfer some copies of my characters to their PS3. I already have a FAT32 formatted USB stick with my saves on it, etc.

The kind of thing I want to know is: can I transfer a DLC Character (i.e. Gaige or Kreig) from Borderlands 2 to their PS3 and use that character if they don't have any DLC? Can I use a non-DLC Character from either game if that character's level is above the default cap (i.e. above the default Level 51 cap)? I don't think it's very likely that I'll be able to use DLC characters, but in some cases this is possible and I haven't yet found any answers online. Both of my games are Game of the Year Edition's, with DLC stored on-disk for install, if that matters.

Also, if anyone knows, does my PS3's system need to be fully up-to-date in order for the copied saves to work? I have no internet, so my PS3 Software Version is behind theirs. Will this matter?

texts: How many unique Pokémon formes are there?

texts:
Some Pokémon only have one version and one shiny version, so 2 total formes/sprites/call them whatever you like. Some others, however, have several. Examples include Vivillon (20 known patterns), Meowstic (prominent gender differences) and Deoxys (different activatable formes).

I'm looking for the total number excluding Mega Evolutions, Spiky-Eared Pichu and Spinda, specifically:

How many unique formes are there at all?
How many unique formes can one have at the same time, assuming enough Pokémon are accessible? (As far as I know, you can't have both Black and White Kyurem at the same time, for example)
How many of these are available in storage, that is, don't get lost when the Pokémon is put into a PC box?

It would be great to have the answer updated as new Pokémon and formes are released, but in any case, I'd like to have an answer as of X/Y.

The versions count as different if they are visually different. Things such as evolution that differs depending on gender don't count as different formes.

How can I make sure villagers stay in the destination village?


texts: Weird symbol under my character after [Empty] was equipped

texts:
I was climbing the road to the shrine of Azura, south of Winterhold. At the top of the road, there was a frost troll. As the road is very steep, I decided to Fus Ro Dah his ass and watch him faceroll to his death downhill, which is what happened. But then something unexpected happened. As soon as my Fus Ro Dah landed on the frost troll, it was written " was equipped" at the top left corner of my screen. I guess I must have equipped Nothing... but what is Nothing? I don't know. at the exact same time I looked down only to see i was walking on some weird blueish transparent icon thing that is indefinitely emitting a frostbite-like spell effect (it's stuck under my legs and it doesn't go away, whatever i try to do). I can't properly describe what the weird blueish transparent icon thing looks like because it is self-aware and seems to be shape shifting everytime I look at it from a different angle.

My question is pretty simple: What the hell happened?

I don't know if that frost troll is always there, but let me quickly enumerate the steps to reproduce the event.

Have Unrelenting Force level 3
Approach the said frost troll (at the top of the road leading to the shrine of azura)
Fus Ro Dah his ass and watch him faceroll to his death downhill.
" was equipped"
Forever ride a mysterious blueish transparent icon thing

How do you play Transmuters? Which skills do you train and when? Which god should I choose?

I started to play Transmuters recently, and I normally start raising Unarmed Combat to 5 and then push Spellcasting and Transmutation to get Blade Hands reliable. I like to go with Nemelex Xobeh, since it's fun, it's strong, offers a lot of options and since I don't wear heavy armour or weapons I can sacrifice a lot of stuff which helps to raise piety quickly.

But I often get hit by the 'midgame-barrier', when my character just seems too weak to survive.

Do the bonuses stack the same way with different equipment combinations?

I haven't purchased the Mighty Eagle but am curious if it's possible to throw the sardine tin in a spot in which the Mighty Eagle will not achieve completion of a board?  Or does the sheer force of the eagle hitting inside or outside the game-play area always cause all pigs to be destroyed?  I noticed the ground bounces.

Videos, which are my only source of information at this point, show how the Mighty Eagle destroys mostly everything on the first use but sometimes with a bit of structural integrity left behind, like some bits and pieces on the ground.

I expect the answer to this question will be short. :)

texts:
I have been playing America's Army Proving Grounds for quite a while now and I have always played on international server with a ping of 300 to 500 which was very bad and laggy but I had no choice as there was no local servers for me to play on until about 2 months ago when a few local people hosted their own server.  I could then play with a ping of about 50 to 80 which was great.  I played like that for about 2 months until now when my ping is suddenly no lower than 250 on the local server I have been playing on all this time with a 50 to 80 ping.  I asked the host of the server if his ISP is having problems but he said no and that the ISP was fine.  I also did a lot of research about this but couldn't find anything that works for me.

Can someone please help me get my ping back to 50-80 on one of the local servers? I am out of ideas and nothing seems to work.

texts:
After a particularly successful game of Overwatch I went to watch my highlight of the match since I enjoy inflating my ego like a bouncy castle. After having done that I went back to the main menu and glimpsed rapidly changing characters at the bottom left of the screen. (See below)

This set of characters appeared every time I went to highlights and back to the main menu but not for any other menu option. However, upon restarting the game it no longer appeared. The last number that is changing appears to go from around 4000 to 0 and then repeats once before the characters disappear.

What are these characters? Is it a hidden message? Is it just loading something?

texts: Is there any logic behind how will bonuses get added each rank?

texts:
I noticed that each soldier gets different will bonuses every promotion. Does this depend on something specific in the mission such as kills or actions, or is it completely random? Does every soldier have their own predetermined will bonuses?

-- ADDED FOR CLARITY --

What I have seen is that all rookies start with a will of 40 (from my limited sample size at the start of the game). Once you get the "new guy" perk that allows specializations for new recruits their will can get bumped anywhere from +1 to +10 points (up to 50 is the highest I've seen on a soldier with 0 missions). From there, every rank seems to grant some amount of will points which either differ by soldier or by something else.

I'm wondering if some soldiers are just more gifted than others and generally get larger bonuses or if it's something mission specific that determines it. I have a colonel that has a will of 90 and another that has only 75. Now, some of this is probably due to the perk that grants larger will bonuses, but I haven't seen any numbers on this. Any info related to will progress would be great. I'm trying to build a psi army.


texts: Is there a reason to be picky when choosing a steward?

texts:
As part of the Hearthfire DLC, you are able to select a steward to help manage your new house(s).  There are 34 followers to choose from.

Among these are some important followers from the main questline.  Many of the NPCs listed are eligible bachelors/bachelorettes.  Each Housecarl (both from the main game, and Hearthfire) is available as well.

With so many options, and only a maximum of three steward positions to fill, I'm left wondering if there's any particular reason I should choose one over the others.  This breaks down to a few questions:

Are there any particular disadvantages to turning a follower into a steward?

For example, will they no longer follow or train you?
Does it render potential marriage candidates ineligible?

Do any of the eligible candidates bring something special to the position?

Particularly, anything they would not normally do for you as a follower.

Does it really matter at all who I choose?

Would I be just as well off assigning my Housecarls, as I would anyone else?

texts: Mouse sensitivity in Fallout 3 menus too high

texts:
I'm trying to lower the mouse sensitivity in Fallout 3 to an acceptable level.

I have done the following changes to my fallout.ini file:

ForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0

The only thing I can find that regards the sensitivity is fMouseSensitivity, found in falloutprefs.ini. Changing this seems to make no difference to the menu sensitivity.

Anyone know what I need to change?

I've been attempting to get powered minecarts to push an empty minecart from a break in the track.

====R==W========

(R is for raised level & W is for wooden pressure plate)

In the track above the powered minecart comes from the left and pushes the empty minecart that is resting on W onto the track and it continues to the right. However the powered minecart always gets stuck on the Wooden pressure plate and doesn't continue.

How can I set this up so that the powered cart keeps pushing? I've tried using downward sloping tracks both in front of the W and after but it just keeps getting stuck.

texts: What are efficient sources of colored energy hexes throughout the game?

texts:
In Resonance of Fate, you can get colored hexes primarily as a drop from human enemies or as a bonus prize after specific overworld battles. Once you figure out where to get each drop, it becomes not too difficult to harvest them... until you advance the plot. In later chapters, enemies in battles are replaced by much more powerful encounters, which not only replaces the drops of the enemies themselves but also affects that bonus prize in overworld battles. This makes it much harder to get some of the earlier hexes when you're approaching the late game.

My question is, what are the most efficient ways to harvest the different colored energy hexes throughout the game? Ideally, I'd like to know not just where they are best found, but during what chapters I can use those sources and what alternatives are available after those points.

In particular, the purple energy hex in the diamond shape seems to be almost completely absent at the stage of the game we're at. It is only ever dropped by a single normal enemy (the Outcast STG in the Hughes Power Station), which does still occasionally spawn but is more often replaced by the more annoying Mask Raiders who do not drop purples. Unless we somehow skipped over it, we also have not found any Arena battle that drops purple hexes. And all of the encounters where they used to be dropped (primarily on Level 6) have been replaced with more difficult battles that prefer to give greens instead.


texts: Show Windows games on the Steam homepage, even when using a Mac

texts:
I have both a Windows PC and a Mac. I use my PC for gaming, and my Mac for work. I browse Steam on my Mac.

On the new Steam website, launched about a week ago, the homepage will show games based on what OS you are using.

For most of the sections, you can click on "Customize" to show ALL games, rather than limiting them to Macs only. But for the "Top Sellers" list at the bottom of the page, you can't do that. So only Mac games are shown.

In order to show best-selling games across all platforms, I have to click on "See more: Top Sellers" then click on the "X" for the "Mac" label to remove it, so that the list isn't limited to Mac games only.

How can I make it so that either Steam knows to show me BOTH Mac and PC games, or to make Steam think I'm using a Windows PC (I guess I could just change my user agent for a specific site somehow)?

texts:
Was the old Armorer Bug fixed in the recent HD Remake (the new release on Steam, not to be confused with the fan-made HD Mod of the original) of Heroes of Might and Magic III?

The original version of the game had a now (in)famous glitch in which the armorer skill actually worked in reverse specifically against siege towers (made you more vulnerable against them). I recall it was revealed to be one of those super simple, brain-fart programming bugs where some guy once accidentally put a divided-by sign where he meant to put a multiply-by sign, or some such.

Was this bug fixed in this remake?  I know that the team made some bug fixes, but also left a lot identical to how it was as well, so it seems really up-in-the-air.  I have not had luck asking on the Steam forums.


texts: How to install the R4 software for a DSi?

texts:
I tried to install the R4 operative system from http://www.r4isdhc.com/r4-download/ following tutorials from several pages and it still doesn't work; when I insert the R4 with the Micro SD on the DSi, nothing happens, I don't see any launcher or something.

I guess that the problem is that the operative system isn't compatible or is just the incorrect one, but I don't know which I need to download, because the R4 has no tag, so I can't know the model or version or year of the R4


texts: Should I wait for the install to complete before playing?

texts:
This is strictly related to the Xbox One as I do not know how the process works for PS4.

During the installation process of a game, the notification comes up "Ready to Start".

I've noticed on some games that even though it said it was ready, I couldn't play the game. It would bring me to the start screen but when I tried to start, it would tell me to wait until installation is complete.

Is there any risk to start playing games while they are still installing? Possible data corruption of the install, or save game data?


texts: Why is my attempt at night vision goggles not working?

texts:
This is my first attempt at using scoreboards for accomplishing tasks so I'm still learning. I'm trying to make a golden helmet behave as night vision goggles by giving the player the night vision effect.
Here's what I've done so far:

Create a dummy objective named "nightVision".

Place this command in a clock:
scoreboard players set @a nightVision 0

Then this command:
scoreboard players set @a nightVision 1 {Inventory:[{Slot:103b,tag:{display:{Name:"Nightvision Goggles",Lore:[Equip to see in the dark!]}}}]}

And finally this command:
effect @a[score_nightVision_min:1] 16 30 0 true

I've tested it by wearing the helmet mentioned above on my head and doing a scoreboard test command. It works if I combine steps 3 and 4 into one testfor command and run a comparator out of it:
testfor [player] {Inventory:[{Slot:103b,tag:{display:{Name:"Nightvision Goggles",Lore:[Equip to see in the dark!]}}}]}

But that seems like the very thing scoreboards could be used to avoid.
I've tried taking out the first command because I thought maybe the scores were being reset too fast but it still doesn't work. I've come to the conclusion that my error is either in step 3 or step 4 but I'm not seeing it.

I was under the impression that trains were a fast travel option, or at least moderately fast.

I got a train ticket in Valentine, to head to Saint Denis. I don't really know what happened but a few minutes had passed and the train was still going. I again kept waiting for a long time (over 10 minutes) and never arrived in Saint Denis.

I assumed the train would stop and kick me off when it got to the correct destination, and I also assumed it would have been much faster.

I ended up robbing people on the train and left when it was stopped at Wallace Station.

Has anyone else had a never ending train ride?

texts: Random dots on screen while playing game (Screenshot attached)

texts:
I play PUBG on Tencent Gaming Buddy. It worked fine until a couple of days ago when random dots started moving all over the screen mid-game, something like static bubbles in old TVs. A screenshot looks like this :

This doesn't happen with other games, just this one. And it's not just in the game, this happens in the emulator too (when the emulator starts and just before the game is launched). I have tried a lot of things to solve this, I'm at a dead end.

I tried :

Uninstall & Reinstall/Update -

Graphics drivers
Integrated Drivers
Tencent Gaming Buddy (the emulator)
The game itself
DirectX (I have DirectX 12 installed)

Troubleshooting Compatibility with all color and DPI settings.
Changing the graphics settings in the emulator.

For now, nothing seems to work.

What is happening and why is it happening? How do I fix this?

texts: Lots of trouble with group combat in The Witcher 1

texts:
I'm playing The Witcher 1 (Enhanced Edition, if that makes a difference), and I'm having a ton of trouble with the combat. The trouble started in chapter 1 when fighting

   the beast,

and now I'm in chapter 2 attempting to get through the part where

   you speak with the PI and are ambushed around the city when leaving at midnight.

These fights all involve multiple people, and I die incredibly quickly whenever fighting more than one person/enemy at once. I've only been able to make it this far by cheating the system--running far enough away so someone leashes back and I only have to fight one person, things like that. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to properly fight more than one person at a time.

I'm trying all three styles. Group style does almost no damage to anyone involved, same with fast, and none of the opponents at the moment require the strong style.
I found a Sword of the Order (only -10% damage) which I'm using in place of the standard Temerian steel sword (-20% damage).
I do try to mix in my signs, but they don't really have much effect. Aard usually does literally nothing.

Any advice for group combat in TW1 would be greatly appreciated!


texts: Better game performance in Fortnite on Windows 8.1 vs Windows 10?

texts:
I have noticed a strange issue when playing Fortnite on different Operating Systems with the same hardware.

With Windows 10 installed, my CPU load is 100%, the gameplay is sluggish and suffers from input lag. But if I play on Windows 8.1, I lose input delay and in general the game becomes much more stable, only reaching 100% CPU utilization occasionally.

I noticed that Windows 8.1 displays 4.36 GHz in the task manager instead of 4.4 GHz, and Windows 10 displays 4.39 GHz. I believe that Windows 8.1 reserved a part of the frequency, and because of this, the processor does not overload and I can get better responsiveness.

How can I repeat the same thing in Windows 10? I tried the instructions on the following site: How to Change Maximum Processor Frequency in Windows 10, but it only allows regulation below 3.3 GHz, and also if I set the max processor state to 99%, it resets frequencies to 3.3 GHz.

Any ideas?

2500k@4.4Ghz

texts:
When I try to start my Xbox 360, I get most of the noise and none of the action.

The cooling fans spin up
The 1/0-logo in the middle of the led ring is lit, all four parts of the ring are dark.
The four lights on the controller blink when started with the controller.

After that just sits there humming, no signal over HDMI and after 300 seconds it turns itself off. The same thing happens whether I start it with the controller, the power button or the eject button.

The console is an 120GB Elite model from around the time Forza 3 came out. It's under warranty until December.

The thing is- I already sent it to Microsoft and it came back with a "dear customer, we looked but we couldn't find anything and therefore didn't fix anything" letter. Indeed, when it came back it was working perfectly fine for the next four or five times, then the exact same symptoms were back. (They did apparently reset the firmware, I had to update that).

It seems clear that I need to send it back again, but it looks like I'll have to include a heck of a cover letter to avoid further embarrassment.

Things I checked:

The wall socket puts out 234 volts. This is nicely within the 220-240 range it's supposed to.
The XBox has (for the entire time that I own it) been attached to a power strip with an on/off switch that I turn off at night and when I leave the house. I've had it directly in the wall socket for the past few days to see if that makes a difference (it doesn't).
Tried booting without the hard drive, no difference.
Tried standing the console up and lying it down, no difference (it stood upright most of its life).
Inspected the back of the face plate, as suggested by Microsoft's online troubleshooter. That's undamaged.

One thing I noticed is this: when I plug the power adapter into the wall socket, its status light is orange. Only when I power the console does it turn green. Microsoft's online troubleshooter is unclear about whether this is correct or whether it's supposed to be green all the time. I don't have access to another unit to swap parts with. Question: what color is the light on your power adapter when it's plugged in and the console is turned off?

Is there anything else I could try before sending it in again?

Microsoft's instructions are clear about sending only the console and none of the peripherals. If I included the power adapter, can I expect to get it returned or would I end up with only a console and no power?

Notice the hitbox is not there and the two chests that are connected to the pipe (the pipe is bending the right way) yet they appear to be way further back.

Image two:

Same thing, showing the chest hitbox. The chests still work, I can right-click them etc...

Image three:

The hitbox is a redstone engine. The particle effects are still there and it functions right, but it's not there...

Image four:

This is me standing in the redstone engines that are glitched about ten blocks to the left and about 3 forward. They're not solid. Also only the top 5th of the chest is showing.

Image five:

That's a crystal chest.

14: Emerald
11: Ruby
1: Sapphire
34: Silver ingot

Any ides why it does this?

Also I have a ruby, emeralds, sapphires and silver ingots in other chests and it doesn't glitch out.

texts: Is there a repeatable place to find summon orbs (any strength)?

texts:
The daily dungeon rewards include many types of orbs but not summon orbs. Some dungeons have them as First-time rewards or Mastery rewards, but those are obviously not repeatable.

Are there any dungeons that have summon orbs as the repeatable completion reward or as drops from enemies?  (I'm not particularly concerned about the level of the orb - I can use a bunch of any of them except the 1-star orbs right now).


texts: Does stamina recovery speed stack by wearing a Chloranthy Ring and a Grass Crest Shield?

texts:
Often I wear the following items in Dark Souls 3:

Chloranthy Ring

  Raises stamina recovery speed.

Grass Crest Shield

  The grass crest is lightly imbued with magic, which slightly speeds stamina recovery.

(quotes from item description in game)

Question

When equipping both these items, do their effects stack?


texts: Source-based games hang every time on the loading screen

texts:
I've been playing Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 specifically, and I noticed that every single time a screen appears with "Loading..." in the corner, it momentarily "hangs" my computer, at least that's what is seems like. This also happens when TF2 is "Requesting server information...". I can hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete to get to the Windows 8 actions menu, and after that if I click the back arrow and Alt + Tab to the Desktop, I can interact with the taskbar but I can not use my mouse to interact with the rest of the screen. Using the keyboard works, though. It seems like these games create an overlay of sorts, which - while it's hanging - prevent any and all actions with my mouse outside the taskbar.

I'm using Windows 8 right now, but this happened in Windows 7 as well.

How can I get rid of this overlay or get these games to run hang-free?

My computer specs are:

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual E2180 2GHz
Memory: 4GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 2GB
Hard Drive: SAMSUNG HM400JI ATA (400GB)


texts: What are the specific conditions that cause repeater lockup in multiplayer?

texts:
While playing SMP, the issue of redstone repeaters "locking up" (getting stuck in the on state) was brought up.  Another user showed me their issue, a redstone clock using two repeaters and redstone wiring that was no longer "ticking".  Breaking and replacing the offending repeater fixed the problem.  They claimed that this issue was caused by unloading the chunks the repeater was in, while it was powered.  Curious, I set about my own tests: a lever next to a repeater failed, multiple times, to create a "stuck" repeater; creating my own,  identical, clock, also failed.  Thus leading me to my question:

Under what circumstances will redstone repeaters become "stuck" in the on position (and if it only sometime occurs, what seems to be the probability)?  (It may help to consider that this does not (to the best of my knowledge) occur in single player.)  Information on fixes is also appreciated.

Possible Duplicate:
  What determines if a soldier is gifted with psionic powers?

After just building the psionic training facility, I immediately test all my soldiers for having the gift.

Among my original collection of soldiers, two soldiers had the gift, the rest had not. I immediately started ordering new rookies, testing them all for psionic abilities. But after hiring 20+ soldiers, none of them had the gift.

Is this normal that it is so rare for the soldiers to have the gift? Or can there be a problem that no psionic abilities are found when testing soldiers with no combat experience?

texts: StarCraft2: Easy way to calculate number of harvesters

texts:
During game play one of the most important questions is: how many harvesters do you have right now. Will it be effective to build 3 more harvesters or it is better to build additional production building (for example)?

AFAIK optimal number of harvesters per base is 30: 8 minerals + 2 gas multiply by 3.

But often is hard to detect how many do you have right now. From what I see you could go to your minerals line, select all harvesters and see how much do you have. But sometime it is hard to do that (other units, non-harvesting SCV/probes). Time - is also factor. I would like to look into my supply numbers and know something like this: currently I have 50/64 supply.... how much harvesters do I have 20? 30?

Usually in replays that I lost my opponents have around 27-35 harvesters on 1 base and 43-48 with expand... Usually I have less...

Probably I just need to build those harvesters CONSTANTLY till supply id less then 60/80? (don't forget to build army too)? Probably I don't need to worry that I have too many harvesters?

Any thoughts are welcome!

texts: How can I use shotguns effectively in multiplayer?

texts:
I have been playing ME3 for a while now, and I have been trying out different classes and different builds. So far I have to say I can't really find any use for the shotguns, even as vanguard an SMG or a light AR is much better. Irony of it is that I keep on getting shotguns, even though I never use them.

So I figure I'll ask the fellow gamers out there... Just a couple of notes, I do no currently have the Geth Plasma Shotgun, so I cannot say I have tried that. But in practice I really can't think of any situation where having a shotgun is better, I mean they are heavy, slow to shoot and usually not very accurate. Anything I am missing here?

Oh and I usually play on Silver; assuming that I get some better weapons/equipment and find a bunch of reliable players, I will eventually get to Gold I think.

Edit: I should perhaps clarify what I mean:

what class/build plays well with shotguns?
seeing that most shotguns are optimal in close range situations, is there any other way of closing up to enemy than biotic charge?
while equipped with a shotgun, and assuming that you managed to get in the thick of things (a room, small corridor, or just a bunch of spread around in a small area) how do you manage to stay alive?

I do not have all the weapons in the game, the RNG gods have not been very kind so far. Yesterday I tried out the newest shotgun I got, the Wraith, and sure it dealt a lot of damage, but I was practically never accurate or fast enough to contribute significantly to the team. Especially considering annoying top-tier enemies like atlas/banshee/praetorian, where you want to keep your distance, the shotgun becomes pretty useless. Any tips on that?

texts: LBP2 Infinite Loading Screen Glitch - Hangs/Stuck at "Important Information" at Startup

In Splatoon, there's a particular item of clothing, called the "SQUID GIRL Tunic" (based upon the outfit of a character in the "SQUID GIRL" anime)

It looks like this:

This is the only dress in the game.  And surprisingly, it seems that the majority of people using long-range, slow-firing charger weapons to splat their opponents from the opposite side of the map will wear this dress while online.

This clothing piece seems much less frequently used by people using other weapons, but is very common for people whose play style focuses on sniping.

Other than style, why would those snipers prefer to wear the game's only dress, over any of the other clothing options available within the game?

texts: Fastest scenario for evolving pokemon such as Magikarp (400 candies)?

texts:
Magikarp (and some others?) require at least 400 candies to evolve. The obvious way to evolve a Magikarp is to catch 101 wild Magikarp (which would take me about 0.5 years).

Thus far, I've caught 1 (maybe 2) Magikarp and hatched 1. My current candy level is 13. And, I'm not sure why it is 13.

strategy for evolving Magikarp
1. Hatch as many eggs as possible, and hope for a Magikarp (that seemed to yield 10 candies).
2. And of course, catch as many in the wild as possible.

What else can I do to accelerate the evolution of my Magikarp?


texts: What is the optimal way to play the remade Evelynn in the jungle?

texts:
After the remake Eve has become much stronger in the jungle. Her base stats have improved and she has a much faster clearing time. Her Q can hit all mobs in the camps and her E helps trigger slots of Wiggle procs.

She has also become quite a potent roamer. Her passive means she avoids normal ward vision (but not vision wards) so she can gank over extended lanes pretty well, although mid lane ganks aren't very easy for her pre level 6.

Eve can also counter jungle very well, depending on the enemy jungler. She is not strong at dueling so you need to be careful.

Is Eve better as AD or AP when playing jungle?
Early-mid game, is it better to focus on ganking, counter jungling, or just normal
jungling as she clears camps so fast?

I am using Snes9x to play Nintendo games on my Mac mini. I have connected a wired USB PS3 controller and I have been successful configuring it with the emulator. However, I am experiencing a noticeable latency (time lapse) between the buttons being pressed and the actions happening in the game. The result is such that a jump in Mario brothers happens too late, and I die by falling into a pit or running into an enemy. It is really annoying, and it makes the games virtually unplayable. (pun intended) I wish there was a setting to adjust the timing so that I could compensate for the timing. Has anyone experienced this problem and come up with a solution? Does anyone know of another successful configuration

texts: Are these XCOM: Enemy Unknown (reboot) victory stats possible without cheating?

texts:
On the victory stats pages after finishing a game there are some stats which seem to be likely caused by cheats:

+-----------------------------+-------+-----------+
|            Stat             |  You  |   World   |
+-----------------------------+-------+-----------+
| Overall Score               | 11701 | 123132.66 |
| Average Damage per Shot     | 5.6   | 16.11     |
| Scientists                  | 104   | 108215.93 |
| Engineers                   | 138   | 113203.35 |
| Total Credits Earned        | 19933 | 228587.44 |
| Credits Spent               | 17996 | 116097.38 |
| Grey Market Sales           | 4169  | 113806.89 |
| Days Until Second Satellite | 42    | 7.98      |
+-----------------------------+-------+-----------+

I don't think any of those are reasonable differences without involving cheating, but I'd be happy to be corrected. More interestingly, some stats are not entirely unreasonable:

+-----------------------------+-----+-------+
|            Stat             | You | World |
+-----------------------------+-----+-------+
| Average Damage per Shot     | 5.6 | 16.11 |
| Days Until Second Satellite | 42  | 7.98  |
+-----------------------------+-----+-------+

Basically every other world stat seemed to be reasonably close to my own result, so I'm wondering if these two could be actual big differences between my own and an average playthrough? Short of save-scumming with Damage Roulette or heroes an average damage of >16 seems very high but not ludicrous. And is it even possible to build a satellite within the first eight days without a ludicrous amount of engineers?

Granted, a script kiddie could probably sabotage the stats easily, using some elementary math to make every number 31337 or something. However, the majority of the stats were similar enough to my result that it seems likely they haven't been actively sabotaged, but instead probably reflects actual values from real playthroughs (cheats or no cheats). That makes the stats in the previous paragraph interesting: Are they skewed because of cheaters, or did I miss something fundamental about gameplay?

texts: When using Deadly Re-entry, how can I add heat shielding to unshielded parts?

texts:
I've designed a SSTO shuttle using mostly B9 Aerospace parts that flies pretty well with Ferram Aerospace Research.  The only problem being that it doesn't really like to slow down that much, and landing at speeds approaching mach 1 is ill-advised at best.  The solution, of course, is to use air-brakes.

The problem is that for air-brakes to be effective, they need to be in the airstream, and if they're in the airstream, they tend to heat up.  When they heat up, they tend to explode, and exploding air-brakes is not good.

This doesn't only happen during re-entry either; on the first full test mission for this craft, I lost a few of them on the ascent.  In fact, the ascent is when I'm more likely to experience this, since I'm flying at a smaller angle of attack during the air-breathing phase, limiting my ability to shield the air-brakes with the wings and body of the shuttle.  There's also the problem that sometimes the air-brakes aren't destroyed in pairs, leading to a situation where I introduce a yaw on the vessel when I apply them.

Is there any way to enable heat shielding to these parts specifically, and any part in general?  Adding a construction time option similar to how B9 lets you toggle the various landing gear between unshielded and shielded would be optimal.

Question: is it going to be necessary for me to build a railway in order to get enough resources to build the rocket pod?  Can I fudge it with, y'know, a few mining bases and a long conveyor belt, or will I be collecting resources from all over the map?-

Question: what is necessary to get a few hundred alien artifact orbs?  Can I do this with leapfrogging laser turrets, or do I need to research the power armor II and get a bunch of capsules?

texts: In Caesar 3, how many tiles do school children run?

texts:
I ran 20 tests on completely straight roads, placing a school at one end, such that only a single tile of the school is adjacent to the road.
These are the figures I have come up with:

Tiles   |   Count
 14     |    3
 19     |    2
 20     |    7
 23     |    6
 24     |    2

I have also observed the following scenarios:

all children would run as a group and disappear at the same time
some children run forward, while some turn back after 1-2 tiles, run to end of road and then turn back to the original direction
all children run straight, all but one disappear early, and the last one continues for a few more tiles

Also if all schools were placed on the same X or Y coordinate, it seemed that they would have the same effective range on their respective roads.

Of course, each school only had a single route pattern, which never changed once the school was created.

Did anybody research this topic?


texts: Why don't Garbage trucks spawn in cities skylines?

texts:
Recently, I suddenly got an issue which I can't understand. My garbage trucks don't spawn; the figure keeps on jumping between 0 and 1. My city is starting to die and I need help or else I can't play the game anymore.

This problem came out of the blue.  I even tried with all of my assets and mods disabled but I still get the problem. I started to play with the budget but still nothing happens. It definitely has nothing to do with my roads because my roads seem to be fine because they are used by other vehicles. I even tried placing down dumps in the middle of the city but still the same.

I just started playing Night in the Woods, and once I got home, I noticed there was a guitar in my bedroom. I interacted with it, and it started playing a guitar hero minigame...

I know next to nothing about the game, just that it was recommended by several people in chat. However, if the game is full of minigames like this and at least one of them is needed to get to the good endings, I might as well switch to another game.

Does this game have rhythm minigames that are required to finish it?

So League of Legends currently has its new Dominion game mode open sporadically for testing, and I've been checking it out. It's pretty neat; one of the biggest changes from the traditional MOBA-style "Classic" mode is the advent of a scorecard.

Others, like "Martyr" are less-so.

I've managed to generate a couple of coastal volcanoes so far, (including one with a sub-ocean magma pipe. that was a fun embark -- 5 minutes of "cave in has occurred" as water became obsidian and then fell to the bottom of the magma sea) but they're never close enough to the poles to be in an arctic ocean.

Some cities have a route each direction between them. For cities that have a route each way, is there a way to travel back to the other?

I can't figure out if this is an intentional gameplay limitation, or just something I am missing in the UI. The return route is clearly displayed when I explore the second city in the pair.


texts:
I don't see on the Official MarioKart Guide about Automatic vs Manual?

1) Is it true if everybody is using Manual and you use Automatic, then you have an advantage, unless the person is really good at using Manual?  (but probably you don't want to be seen needing this advantage)

2) With Automatic, you can't press the B button to hop and do power slides or Mini-Turbo?

2b) The booklet in the box says Automatic means automatic drift, but no mini-turbo.  Seems like the term "drift", "power slide" mean the same thing?  Mini-turbo is a something you can with Manual, and if you drift long enough?

(update: i just found http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_Mario_Kart.pdf )

3) Is that the same with Karts and Bikes?

4) When you are getting better and better, is it better just to use Manual?

5) If you try to beat some top records in the world, then using Manual is almost a must?

Thanks for your answer!


texts: Can I use Razer Comms' LoL Scouter on League of Legends Garena?

texts: Garena is the distributor for League of Legends in South East Asia, I am a razer fanatic and owner of many razer headsets. Today I tried to open my LoL ACC via Garena and open comms @ the same time, hoping that I would get a chance to use the scouter as I was in game when I opened comms. So does this really work on Garena LoL? Or does it only work on NA/EU etc. servers? If yes, how? Am looking for steps


texts: Figuring out algorithm/formula for item scaling in WoW

texts:
I am trying to figure out the algorithm/formula for item stat scaling in WoW. If you play in battlegrounds or arenas, your item's stats increase to the highest possible level in that bracket. So if you're level 10 your items will be boosted to level 19 in that bracket. 20 will be 29 and so on.

I have an example here:

This item is level level 20 and has 10 armor, 7 agility, and 7 stamina. When you join the arena or battleground, it will increase to this:

I am trying to figure out this algorithm/formula, so I can enter any item's item level and stats, which will then figure out the stats when in a battleground or arena. How would I approach that? I've tried a few isolation equations, but it won't really work :( Thanks in advance!


texts: Default/suggested familiar names for Mite, Tumbelemur and Seed Sprite

texts:
When you get a new familiar and are prompted to name them, there are four default suggested names which can be cycled through by pressing triangle.

e.g. when you get Mite, the initially suggested name is "Mitey", then if you press triangle you get another suggestion "Matey" then "Mito" then a fourth option then it cycles back to "Mitey" e.t.c.

What are the four default suggested names for Mite, Tumbelemur and Seed Sprite?

I know this is a bit of a strange question to ask, so thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer!
