texts: Can the Templar (follower) actually tank Act 3 and 4 Inferno?

texts:
I cannot afford to equip my Templar with really good items, as I have to use all my money on my main char.

The Templar seems to do really nice in Act 1 with the gear I gave him.

This looks quite different in Act 2. Here he can only divert the enemy for a few hits until he dies. Act 3 is a disaster, he usually just dies from 1 to two hits. I need him to tank about 5-7 hits so my DH can deal the required damage without getting bothered.

Can I somehow equip him with gear that he can actually help in Act 3 and 4 or am I on my own from now on? What items should I look for?

Again the question is not: What follower should I use, but can I use the Templar with really good gear in Act 3 and 4?

texts: How much time do I have before one of my dens is recaptured?

texts:
Templars are attacking my dens a lot and I strongly dislike the Den Defense minigame, so I'm tempted to ignore the attacks.

I'm assuming my dens are going to get recaptured by the templars sooner or later, so I don't want to ignore the attacks for too long, but how long is too long? Should I always drop everything and go rescue my dens?


texts:
I'm playing through ME1 on Veteran difficulty. So far, every Krogan I've fought, battlemaster or not, regenerates health up to full in two or three seconds when they are knocked down and nearly dead. If I'm not quick to unload my assault rifle on them, they stand up with full health and shields. I actually timed it and from near death to full health and shields, it took no more than three seconds.

Is this intended? It makes battles with krogans a bit hairy.

texts:
I have been stuck on this puzzle for far too long and at this point I just want to get past it so I can continue on in this game. The idea is that each roman numeral tile needs to be under its corresponding lock and all tiles must be facing in an up position so that the point is pointing to the lock. I have been able to get the I and IV in place multiple times but I always find myself in a situation where the III and II are flipped and with the way it works, I can't figure out how to get them in their respective positions.
I realize there are probably several guides out there that explain each puzzle step by step, however I do not want to accidentally spoil any of the game, thus would rather not have to comb through a guide to find this one puzzle.

When you kill civilians in Payday 2, you are deducted "cleaner costs" which scale with difficulty and vary between heists.

Where is this money taken from, as it doesn't appear to be deducted from your end of heist payday?


texts: Can't force game to use dedicated graphics card

texts:
I am new to these forums, so I don't know if this is the right place to ask but...

I recently purchased a new laptop, the Thinkpad P53s, which comes with an NVIDIA Quadro P520 Graphics Card.

I have been trying to play games on the laptop, specifically Risk of Rain 2 and Hollow Night, and both games have a similar problem: The game will run smoothly most of the time, then periodically, the frame rate will drop for around 30-60 seconds before returning to the original framerate. When this happens, my task manager also shows that the Integrated Intel Processor suddenly is maxxed out in its performance (at 100%) while the NVIDIA card has Dropped to almost no use (10-15%) from its usual 75%.

I have tried every solution that I have found online:
I have set the Settings for the app to be "High Performance" in the Windows 10 display settings
I have set the game's preferred graphics card in the NVIDIA Control Panel to "High-Performance NVIDIA processor"
I have used the right-click context menu to "Run application with graphics processor > High-Performance NVIDIA".

Despite trying all of these. The program will STILL switch between the integrated graphics and the NVIDIA card.

The NVIDIA card clearly THINKS the game is running on it because the NVIDIA card taskbar menu shows Risk of Rain 2.exe running on the card; however, the actual performance of the processors says otherwise.

Again, I know this because EVERY time it lags, my task-manager shows that the NVIDIA card drops from 75 - 85% to 10-15% in the 3D category, while my Integrated Intel Processor rises from 10-15% up to 100%.

Thank you in advance for any help You can give. I have been stuck on this issue for quite some time now, so assistance is much appreciated.

I finished the quest The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. The Greybeards sent me to Ustengrav. Upon completion I saw the note from Delphine. In a bid to learn my last word of "Dah" I went to Riverwood since she was the one who left the note for me.

When I meet her, she tells me "You are the one the Grey-Beards summoned and why I did so and so". Which is why she beat me to the horn of the Wind Caller.

But How?

Maybe she heard the summons in the story line, when the Greybeards summoned the Dovahkiin and deduced, BUT HOW?

HOW did she know to go to Ustengrav, which is exactly like a lot of Nordic ruins?

And why Ustengrav?

texts: Is accuracy, recoil or bullet spread affected by enemy hits?

texts:
To experiment I started a bot game, toggled invincibility and let the bots attack me. There were two clear hit effects: a major one that tilts view up a lot and sideways and a minor one that only tilts it up.

So I tried releasing single shots exactly at the tilts: during a major one a single bullet ended up here (slightly covered by text). Actually the crosshair never moves that high so there tends to be a good amount of additional upward deviation of single shots fired.

But when single-shooting during the minor tilts the marks seemed to end up exactly at the location of the crosshair.

Now, when switching to spraying while being shot this pattern emerged. This was mostly caused by the minor tilts and, I guess, "standard recoil". Occasionally a major tilt caused a single bullet to lie severly outside of the depicted cone.

texts:
Since there is a large amount of oil deposits in my city, I chose to go into oil specialization.. I've plopped several oil wells and I make a fair amount of profit selling crude oil on the global market.

Now I want to go to the next level by making my oil into fuel or plastic. I already built a Petroleum HQ. However, I can't build the Refining Division (which is needing for the oil refinery which in turn makes plastic out of crude oil), it shows "Not Approved" without explicitly stating which requirement I'm missing. It also might be that I have to upgrade my HQ first, because it's showing a progress bar indicating that I must make a certain amount of profit. I tried selling more curde oil, but I have come to the point where I'm making more oil than the trade depot can sell. I've added more trade depots, but that doesn't seem to make any difference because only one depot is selling as far as I can tell. The others just get their storage filled up.

So, any ideas? What am I missing here?

I don't think we changed anything, but maybe we did and I don't know what it was.

texts: My nether portal spawned inside of a cave?

texts:
I am making/placing portals in the nether every 125 blocks so I have a checkpoint of portals every 1000 blocks in the overworld.

The Y axis of my portal are is at 120, like in the screenshot below.

Now, when I entered that portal, it spawned me inside of the cave.
(the screenshot shows no portal on it since I removed it, but the obsidian is the original location of the spawned portal)

I decided to dig straight up and try to look for a reason why I spawned in the cave and I'm just seeing an area that is perfectly fine for a portal to spawn in.

My question is why did the game decided to spawn a portal in a cave? Are there some checks that the game does? All I know is if it has a space for it, it goes there.

If it matters, the game version I'm running on is 1.14.4.

texts: How to control a Counter Strike(CS 1.6) server which is hosted in a remote location?

texts:
I have been playing Counter Strike 1.6 for the last two years; however, it's still interesting to me.
A week ago, I bought a dedicated CS 1.6 server which is hosted in a remote location. They didn't gave any remote access tool to handle that server. Does anyone know about that kind of tool?

Info About the Server:

They are giving around 80 GB of disk space where the CS 1.6 server is installed.
The remaining space can be used for file storage.
Separate username & password was given to access the server through a web interface.
Using that interface I can start or stop or restart the server(This is not enough for me)
I can also setup the server configuration in there.
They do have a tool named AMX mod but it costs too much for me for each month.

What I want to do with the tool is:

be able to see the player names using a browser interface or something like that.
some operations like kicking, banning, and warning.
ban such that it may be a temporary ban or permanent ban using the player's IP.

Any suggestions, links or knowledge base would be appreciated!

texts: How to effectively engage enemies at medium to long range?

texts:
I have a level 10 character with high small arms and energy weapons skills, which is very effective in dealing with enemies in close to medium range - with assault rifles, laser rifle, combat shotgun or machine pistol.

However, I find myself having trouble with enemies in longer ranges. The weapons I have which are supposedly appropriate for these ranges - hunting rifle, sniper rifle and scoped magnum - are just not accurate enough, either with or without VATS, and I end up wasting a lot of ammo and sacrificing a lot of health in those situations.

Right now my tactic is to try and close the distance as quickly as possible, but it's not always easy. How else can I effectively deal with enemies at these ranges?

texts: Having a problem with lighting a large area

texts:
I can't be the first person to have this issue but I can't seem to search out a solution. I have a large box that I'm building in. About 100x100x20. I have glowstone all around the perimeter and I also have the room grided out so I have lines of glowstone every 10 blocks for the length and width of floor. I also have glowstone on the walls at 10x intervals at the 7 and 17 mark up the 20x wall.
Suffice to say I would think this is a lit space.

I still get spawns, and not only do I get spawns but if I am across the room up high looking down the ground is in shadows... not dark just darker that I would expect. If I move over to the location it typically takes a couple of seconds for the 'light' to pop and brighten up the area.

I don't have a slow computer but is this just lag or something else? Its pretty consistent if I am some place in the room the lights dim in the farthest location away.

help?
thanks.

EDIT:  Version 1.2.5

p.s.

Don't know if it factors into things but the building splits 3 biomes. It's a flat creation but I have desert, grass and snow. Actually there is a diagonal swatch of snow that cuts thru the building from corner to corner. I can have desert , snow storms and then grass and rain all within a couple of steps.

texts: Is there a way to take out unsuspecting enemies silently?

texts:
Rage has plenty of opportunities to attack enemies that are unaware of your presence. Consider the following situation:

It would be very easy for me to dispose of the gentleman sweeping the floor in one of several ways. However, I am unaware of a way to go about it without making the other enemies in the room aware of my presence. A shotgun blast to the back of the head would definitely do the trick, but would obviously be too noisy. Trying to be more subtle and relying on my fists doesn't cut it either, as I would need to get too close to my target and he would end up noticing me.

Is there some sort of trick to it that I am not thinking about, or perhaps a suitable weapon that you get later in the game?

So I want to delete my Steam game server browser history, because there's old servers that keep coming back, and Malwarebytes keeps blocking outbound IPs when I open the server browser on the history tab.

Are there any reliable sources which document what the population of Los Santos is in Grand Theft Auto 5?

I am aware that most civilians will likely respawn elsewhere in the city - otherwise, in theory, a player of GTA5 could wipe out the entire city (although it will certainly take some time to do!).

I played for an hour yesterday evening - as I'm sure that one or two others across the globe may have also done - and it dawned on me that I have not read nor heard anything about the population of Los Santos.

If anybody can help I would love to learn this.

For clarity, please note that by "population" I mean the number of human beings living in Los Santos, regardless of their profession, colour or creed.

Many thanks.

I landed this time by spinning my craft wildly to stop the heating, but some just don't turn as well and get stuck pointing prograde.

2) How do I know if a rune is "primary"?
3) By example, let's say that I want to buy Cooldown Reduction (CDR) runes. I found out that I will need Focus and/or Celerity runes.
Celerity has Glyphs and Quintessences. Focus has Glyphs, Quintessences, Marks and Seals. It's implies I can (If I want) fill an entire rune page with CDR Runes? What an efficient buy of CDR Runes, considering that I want buy Magic Penetration and Mana Regen Runes too?
4) I've got the runes list here, but it presents ALL runes, so is really boring to check that list. There is some list/table where we can check only "primary" and "greater" runes?

Thanks!


texts: What is the critical level of a resonator?

texts:
From the Ingress Help site:

  Resonators must be periodically Recharged to maintain their power and control a Portal.  If Resonators lose too much XM, then they will be at risk of easy destruction during enemy attacks. If all the Resonators on a Portal drop in XM health to the Critical level, then Links from the Resonators’ Portal will fail.  Recharging a Resonator involves transferring XM from your Player reserve to the Resonator(s) on a Portal.

So, at what level of charge does a resonator go to critical level?

texts: Why are the events of the Gears of War 3 ending inconsistent with what happened earlier in the game?

texts:
SPOILER ALERT

The ending to Gears of War 3 left me a bit confused. After beating the game, you find out that:

   ... Adam Fenix injected himself with the emulsion to accelerate the transition into a lambent human. He then tests his weapon on himself to see if it kills the emulsion (which was determined to be a parasite). In the cut-scene at the end of the game the weapon actually kills Adam Fenix, he said he is too far into the transition to be cured. This is where the confusion lies. When he tested the weapon on himself, shouldn't it have killed him then, rather than at the end game cut-scene? Surely when he tested the weapon on himself it should of cured him and then consequently not kill him in the final cut-scene.

texts: Will fish populate artificial underground canal?

texts:
If I channel to make an artificial underground canal or pool, fed by a natural river (and disappearing  at the edge of the map), is there a chance small fish (as I understand it, vermin) will populate the canal so that I can fish from it?
What if I let the water run through floor grates or wall grates to keep out crocodiles? As I understand it, this will definitely keep out large fish (creatures, as opposed to vermin) like carps. But what about small fish? I.e. do vermin pass through the floor grates? Or, on the other hand is it possible that the small fish will spontaneously spawn in my artificial pool/canal?

Of course I could build a walled off area with floorgrates over the river, this would let my fisherman fish safely as well. but it's less beautiful and I thought the grate over the river would be more vulnerable to building destroyers.

One thing I tried was simply two hoppers underneath a chest, then 2 hoppers underneath each of the output chests (so 4 hoppers on this layer), but two of the furnaces filled up while two completely did not...  something like an expansion of this.

texts: Is there a way to retreive your hidden stats?

texts:
The League client records many statistics about your battles. Some of these include who you played against, how long the game was, and other things like that. Often when I have a game end my client crashes, or I end up stuck at a 'waiting for stats' screen with an option to click a button and skip the wait.

In both of these circumstance my client does not display most of my information about the last game. Some of this information is often important to me. IE: The name of the Kat who afk'ed so I can report her. Or the number of assists my support had so I can post our game stats on facebook. Those are but two examples, I could write a thesis on how much of this lost information can be usefull.

Is there anyway I can retreive information that has either been hidden (too long ago in my recent matches list) or that was never displayed at all due to bugs or such.


texts: What is the Mother of All Bombs or MOAB killstreak reward?

texts:
I've seen a couple of online rumors about a killstreak or strike package reward when you get 25 consecutive kills that is similar to the tactical nuke from previous Modern Warfare games.

Allegedly it kills every player on the map.

Is this a confirmed part of the game or just rumor?

if it does exist - is it part of a specific strike package : i.e assault, support or specialist?

Any information on this would be great.
Thanks!

texts: How much cargo does each type of ship typically carry?

texts:
This question is unrelated to Kenway's Fleet, it only focuses on the actual free-roaming world.

In Assassin's Creed 4, the player can look at a ship through the spyglass, seeing useful information such as the cargo (the five types - Wood, Metal, Cloth, Rum and Sugar) it carries, as seen in the top right of the picture below.

My question is, how much wood, metal, cloth, rum or sugar would you expect to find on each type of ship?

Now, unfortunately the 'type' is also another question in itself. Does the cargo vary depending on:

Whether the ship is a gunboat/schooner/brig/frigate/man o’ war?
Whether the ship is British, Spanish, owned by pirates or is a Hunter?
How high the level of a ship is?

It seems to be randomised, maybe there is a particular range the number of each type of cargo falls between?

texts: Minecraft launcher not logging in on windows PC and not updating on a mac

texts: I own a macbook, a mac and a windows PC. I generally use my MacBook for gaming (weird, I know) but I recently met some restrictions forcing me to use a different device for gaming. I had used the windows PC before for minecraft, but I got logged out some time ago and I can't get back in (via the minecraft launcher). It used to say it could not connect but now it just says it is an incorrect username/email and/or password. I have checked my minecraft password on the website (minecraft.net) and it works just fine on there but I just can't get in on the launcher. I also cannot access minecraft on my mac because "the launcher is unable to update". The circumstances basically are that I can't play minecraft at all at the moment so I would appreciate help.

texts: How do I defeat the final boss in Chantelise?

texts:
So, I'm at the final boss battle and struggling. Everything else up until this point seems like a piece of cake in comparison. The Archdevil's attacks are massive in form, range, and damage, and it seems difficult to even get close to him without getting blasted in the face by cannonballs, bombs, fire pillars, or thunder.

Even when I manage to make the core vulnerable by summoning a spirit, I'm only ever able to inflict a mediocre amount of damage before he becomes invulnerable again. I haven't been able to take even a quarter of his health off before I die...and this is in practice mode, where I start with full health.

Quite frankly, this battle seems insurmountable.

Are there some spells I should be using when he's vulnerable? Is there a pattern to his attacks? How should I approach getting magical gems without suffering incredible amounts of damage? What signs of danger do I need to watch out for?

How do I defeat the final boss of Chantelise?

texts:
Corpse eating isn't entirely uncommon in roguelikes. In fact, I watched as some of my Troll allies in Brogue ate the bodies of my enemies. After eating will o' wisps, one started to fly while the other became immune to fire - they took this opportunity to dance around a lava bed and beat up a pixie with their newfound powers. I thought this was cool, but no matter how many future will o' wisps I beat down, nothing came of it.

Is it possible to eat corpses yourself? There isn't any item dropped by foes when my allies decide to chow down (but I have seen some, like Nagas, "look over the fallen" at times), and the only way to eat something is to apply it. Are corpses only for allies, or is there any way for you to eat one? Are there also only specific allies that will eat the fallen?

As a melee shield user on hardcore I like to play with the auto-defend skills. Reckoning, Riposte and Vengeance. However when it comes to support gems it seems some of them don't work. I've tried Life on Hit, since the point of these skills is to act defensively.

texts: What is the best way to land skill shots at short range?

texts:
I am by no means a bad skill shot based player, but it always seems much easier to land a successful skill shot when the target is further away from me.  No matter the speed of the skill shot it just seems easier to predict where the champion will be and when you will connect at longer range.

At shorter ranges it is just a toss up predicting where they will go, when they try to dodge, or if they will even dodge at all.  Its hard to tell in such a short amount of time with them running or advancing.

Is there a way for me to practice better skill shots at short range or should I always wait for  them to distance themselves and mess up a dodge?  I would like to go from 80% success rate to at least 97% in short range.

I use smart cast with range indicator so that my cast is pretty instantaneous.

Anyone know of any replay of a perfect skill shot game?

Suppose I use a Moat Lurker to remove a card that is, at the moment, annoying me. Something like "The Lich King".

What happens if I then play a card that takes this Moat Lurker off the board? Like say, Shadowstep, Vanish, or Sap, or other effects like Youthful Brewmaster that remove a card and return it to the hand?

Then I could play Moat Lurker on another card to destroy it, will Moat Lurker return both this second target AND The Lich King, or only the second target?

If this is indeed true, it could be pretty powerful in deck that can reliably return moat lurker to the hand.

In Pokemon Sword Shield hidden items are littered throughout the map. I'm referring to those that subtly blink as you walk near them.

For example, next to the wild Onix spawning near the Meetup Spot, there is a tree with 2 jars of honey underneath it, and I am able to obtain them more than once within a week.

How often do hidden items respawn? Do all hidden items respawn at some point?

I have heard that having high affection will ultimately pay off, but having to take long breaks to do both Super Training an Pokemon Amie (both have vital bonuses, but take ages to make a difference) gets in the way of me enjoying the game. So, I would like to know whether affection can be gained through actions like using the pokemon in battle, using them in wireless battles (if regular battles don't work), leveling them up, healing them with potions or berries, or something else I haven't even thought of. (Also, are any of these actually effective methods, where affection gained per time spent is better than using Pokemon Amie (like, if it has a marginal increase and takes hours, I wouldn't consider it a viable alternative, but still mention it just in case).

Here is a related question, dealing with the bonuses friendship will give: What bonuses are related to friendship?

texts:
I've read that disabling Autosave in Skyrim helps to avoid the lag it can create after the savefile has exceeded a certain threshold.  However, I'm wondering if it really is all of Autosave that needs to be disabled, or just some parts?

On the PS3, Autosave options are:

Save on Rest
Save on Wait
Save on Travel
Save on Character Menu [Choose Interval]

Are some of these options still fairly useable without undue lag, or do all of them need to be shut off?  Autosave has saved my hide a fair number of times, so I hesitate to disable it entirely.  Has anyone tested just shutting off bits and pieces?

texts:
I've been having a rough time killing bees with finesse. Given their small size and ability to fly, it seems nearly impossible to stab them in the back.

Since the Finesse rating is (at least partially) based on how many backstabs I pull off during an encounter, I typically get no higher than a B when I'm fighting bees.

At least once, I've somehow managed to get a supposed "backstab", but the bee was at least 20 feet above me and both myself and my party member that assisted me with the Blindside whiffed gloriously at nothing and did a whopping 0 damage, so I don't even think that counted.

Is there a good strategy for stabbing bees (or any other small, flying enemy, really) in the back?

And it is doing pretty much exactly what I want it to do - rotate a player when they walk 2 blocks above a coal block. HOWEVER, it is not rotating them 360 degrees from their current position, it is rotating them to the direction (which in this case is positive y/south) of the command block with the above command. Is there any way to navigate around this problem?

texts:
In my current game, under Economic Overview, it's mentioned that I "own 3 units that do not require maintenance."

I'm using the Communitas AI&Tools and Interface mods. Not sure is they made the info available or if it's in vanilla as well.

Factors:

Built Pyramids (2 free workers)
Policy: Liberty -> Citizenship (1 worker 'appears')
Liberated 1 worker from barbarians and did not return to Denmark

Total number of suspects: 4

I do not have the Oligarchy policy from the Tradition tree, so it's not from units garrisoned in cities that cost no maintenance.

Which of these (or the other) units are usually maintenance-free? And is there any way to find out which ones walking around, say, 1 of 6 workers, is the cheap one? ;)

texts: How do I increase the number of workers in an industrial area?

texts:
In the Cities: Skylines - Industries DLC, I have zoned a couple of forestry areas and built one of each type of building that is initially available; the main forestry building, a small plantation, a sawmill, and a storage yard. The industrial area itself covers a large area of the forestry natural resource. I long ago met the production criteria for levelling up (something like 5000/500) but I am stuck on the number of workers at roughly 90/150.
I assumed that in an industrial area zoned as a particular industry type, even the factories that get built by the AI would be related to that industry (but they don't seem to be) and the number of workers in the zone as a whole would be counted, but that does not seem to be the case. Is the only way to increase the number of workers to build more forestry specific buildings? Given that I am still at level 1 and only have one of each type of building, does it mean I have to build multiple plantations and sawmills?

Because of traffic issues, I do NOT want to export using trucks, especially since the rail capacity is more than enough to export everything.

However, even though I took away ALL delivery truck garages from the trade port, trucks still appear (from the region, I guess) and pile on my traffic problem.

Can I force this trade port to export only using rail?

What I mean by my question is: how does Skyrim determine whether something is a potion or poison....or even what that Poison/Potion is based off?

Like say we have 2 ingredients that both have Fortify Strength and both have Damage Stamina for instance....How do we know what it's going to end up as?

texts: I bought a game on steam (sins of a solar empire: rebellion) and I was using a mod for the game. Now all of a sudden I turn on the computer and start the game and it says that the game automatically updated to version 1.80 (it used to be version 1.52) and the mod doesn't work on 1.80. How do I downgrade the game back to 1.52?

I know it exists, but I haven't yet unlocked it as far as I can see.

How do I unlock the bobblehead (and magazine?!) stand so I can put them in my settlement?


texts:
When I'm shooting I notice that when I first aim I will typically lock onto a target. Locking onto consecutive targets after that (keeping aim pressed) is intermittent, sometimes it will hop to the next person, other times it will drift into thin air and I will have to manually aim.

I looked in the options and noticed three settings: Auto, Manual and Traditional (I think). I'm using the default (Traditional) but having only ever played previous GTA's on the PC (always manual) I don't really know what Traditional means. Auto-aim appears obvious, and I'd like to avoid using that if I can, but I'd like to know the techniques for using Traditional.


texts: Density Bar - what happens when it completely fills?

texts:
0 bar - low density

2 bars - high density
3 bars - ????

also, just a side question, why are the first two bars shaded weirdly? Is it just a graphical glitch?

texts: What is the best way to deal with cave spiders?

texts:
The cave spider spawner isn't too hard to destroy, it can be done in a few seconds using a pickaxe. But it is fairly difficult when cave spiders are still spawning. And it seems that placing torches by/on the spawner doesn't stop them spawning.

Does anyone have any strategies for dealing with this?
