texts: How do I beat Grand Duchess Faolain? (Twilight Arbor Spoilers)

texts:
The final encounter in Twilight Arbor story mode is quite hard.

The Grand Duchess Faolain torments Caithe with phantasms of Destiny's Edge, including Mr. Sparkles (but not Garm, oddly enough).

so the encounter is fighting those 5 instead of Faolain herself.

Only Mr. Sparkles is not a Silver-portrait elite, which means all of them hit hard and have a fair bit of health.

My group focused on Logan Thackery, and brought him down easily enough, but as we moved on to Rytlock, we were surprised to discover Logan had reappeared, at full health to boot!

How are you supposed to win this encounter if everything you kill comes back a few seconds later? Do you have to kill them all at the same time? A specific order? What gives?

I know that there are starting biases that affect where a particular civilization is placed

I have got really far in my second profile in Skyrim, level 41. It took a long time to get back to that level, because I had got a game-breaking bug on my last profile and I erased it by accident as well as my other messed up profile.

texts: Does refactoring have a cost besides time?

texts: Why is my Minecraft launcher not working?

texts:
I need help because my Minecraft launcher doesn't work...

It's been a long time I haven't played Minecraft and until now it worked nicely. But now that I want to play on it again and I run the launcher, this appears (click images to enlarge):

At the bottom left of the screen the profile names keep loading (normally my username appears in the box) and as you can see I am unable to click on the "Play" button.

I tried creating another profile but it doesn't work because soon after they ask to enter my Minecraft username and password. The password I entered disappears and it keeps loading (I've tried waiting like, 30 minutes and it still doesn't work) so this is definitely not normal.

So basically I can't play on Minecraft anymore (version 1.7.9)...

P.S. I use Windows 7.

texts: How can I make my chicken and cow spawners more efficient?

I am playing Minecraft factions (server desteria) and I currently own 2 spawners, one chicken and one cow. I was wondering how I can make this more efficient. Right now I use a looting and fire aspect sword.

This came to me after seeing my chicken spawner spawning 2 at a time while my cow longer. I have the same light levels of 4 torches in each 5x7 room.

NOTE - This faction's server doesn't make special rules about spawners other than them having to be near you in order to spawn.


texts: How do I get daily Konami rewards with minimum spoilers/effort?

texts:
I am playing on Steam.

I am going to play MGS:PeaceWalker (on PS3), then Ground Zeros (PC), then Phantom Pain (PC).
But I will be missing out so many daily konamin rewards, like those real money coins.
Konami states that you need to reach some point in the game (main campaign I assume) before getting daily rewards.

So the questions are -

How far into the game? How many hours or completion percentage?
How many spoilers are there?
I haven't played Ground Zeros yet, I know there is an option to upload/download saves whatever. Can I utilize this option later, if reach "reward point" now?


texts: Why aren't my entry/exit signals working correctly?

texts:
I like to use loops in my train systems to speed up loading and unloading, with multiple platforms at each station. Each loop feeds into the stations and at the end each train feeds back into that loop. I use entry/exit signals on the entrance and block signals on the entrance of each station. The problem I'm running into on this particular station is that the trains aren't following the entry/exit signals the right way. Take a look at this screen shot:

The train on the far right of the image shouldn't have gone to the left-hand path, which has a red exit signal. It should have gone to the right-hand path which has a green exit signal. Now it is unnecessarily waiting for the other train to finish loading at the platform even though there is an empty one available. What am I doing wrong?


texts: Cut redstone circuit when a signal is sent

texts:
I have a simple thing to do : whenever a minecart is on a Detector rail it triggers a piston to block it, and when another signal is thrown by any source, the redstone circuit is cut and the piston turns off and liberates the minecart

I'm lost for where I should go to cut off the circuit

texts:
I used /setworldspawn to set the spawn point on the server, and I have a command block on a clock that tp's all new players to a custom first spawn point (based on players within a radius of 30 around spedific co-ordinates). I have all the command block stuff that makes the server go under there, and use that spot to execute commands on players that only need to be run once.

I increased the spawn protection in the server.properties because I kept having issues with hackers wrecking things at spawn (despite enforcing gamemode 2, etc within the spawn area), and now when players first join, they seem to spawn in any random place within the spawn protected area (which is not what I want). Is there any work around for this, or is this just how an increased spawn protection in server.properties is going to function?

texts:
So it turns out the phrase "you'll never take me alive, coppers" is particularly apt in Carmageddon as they really have no interest in taking you alive. Ram, bash, charge, crash, KKND as opposed to Miranda rights.

I've upgraded my cars to almost max level (5/6 in Armour, Power and Offensive) but I still don't seem to be able to take out the cops, even with the Damage Magnifier active. I will occasionally get a few credits for dinging their bumper but no appreciable damage.

I remember them being tough, but I'm sure I was eventually able to take them out on a semi-regular basis*. I mostly drive the Eagle - is the car's relatively low Toughness rating (3) to blame? Should I be driving something heavier? Or is it simply not worth the cost in time and repair money?

* Was the cops' difficulty lowered in the sequels? Is that what I'm remembering?

texts: Armor not providing armor bars/protection

texts:
Im using command blocks to give players custom armor, and I ran into a slight problem. All the armor (except the boots) are not actually giving bars of armor in survival mode and will not actually act as protection. Here is the command for the boots:

/give @p chainmail_boots 1 0 {display:{Name:"Archer Boots",Lore:["You feel somewhat lighter,and resistant to ranged damage"]},ench:[{id:0,lvl:2},{id:2,lvl:2},{id:4,lvl:2}],Unbreakable:1}

Which as I said do provide armor bars/protection in survival, however the following command is to summon my helmet:

/give @p chainmail_helmet 1 0 {display:{Name:"Archer Helmet",Lore:["You feel somewhat faster, and resistant to ranged damage"]},AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Amount:0.10,Operation:0,UUIDMost:24682,UUIDLeast:195471}],ench:[{id:0,lvl:2},{id:4,lvl:2}],Unbreakable:1}

Some history -- have never enabled cheats of any kind, and I use no mods at all (and never have.)
I've already looked into "cheating" my way back to the tree I had before, but I'd rather fix the problem than band-aid the symptoms if at all possible. Anyone have any thoughts on what happened, and how to fix it?

texts: How does the "crash to desktop" spell work?

texts:
Since Magicka is free to play during this weekend, I thought I'd give it a try after I found the demo quite enjoyable at the time. It appears that this currently-free-to-play version includes quite a few of the many DLCs (maybe all of them?) and so I got a chance to learn the "Crash to desktop" spell.

Assuming the spell would do as the name suggests, I tried to cast it when I actually wanted to quit the game, but instead I simply wound up killing myself with it (there was no body for me to recover after that, which was a tad vexing).

I saw a video of someone using the spell much more successfully to dispatch of monsters instead of himself, and that led me to wonder just how it is this spell works.

So, can someone shed some light on this?

texts:
So I recently started playing Fizz and I've seen some builds from some various sites. The Runes I ended up using now are:

+6.5 Magic Pen.
+4.5 Armor Pen.
+45 Ability Power at level 18
+15 Ability Power

So I'm just thinking, why use +45 AP at level 18? What I mean is that if I get fed early game I'll be good late as well because of items and everything. So that +45 won't do much ( In my opinion ). If I feed early game, that +45 definitely won't do much ( Again, in my humble opinion ). If I stay with a decent score through the whole game, same logic as before. So, I would like to ask. Isn't it better to put Runes focusing only on early game instead of putting some for early and some for late? Because if you get fed early game with the advantage from the, only, early game Runes you will have a huge advantage late game, which means that you won't need as much that +45 AP.


texts: Will Battlepack quantity or quality lead to more puzzle pieces?

texts:
I periodically buy battlepack's with my free scraps in battlefield 1, because there is little else to do with them, except buy really expensive weapons.  This way I can eventually get all the melee weapon puzzle pieces to complete my weapons collection.

I wonder, though, whether it is better to buy as many of the cheapest battlepacks as I can afford or does it make more sense to buy as many of the most expensive battlepacks as I can afford if I want to maximize my chances of receiving puzzle pieces over time.

The more expense battlepacks advertise that they are more likely to contain puzzle pieces, but they are also more expensive so less can be bought, thus its not clear which path leads to the best odds of receiving a puzzle piece over time.

Which battlepack buying strategy is better, quantity or quality, when attempting to complete melee weapon puzzles?

stealth kills,
boss or deathclaw encounters where they need to stay put

texts: How do I place a red block under a red team member who is on a white block?

texts:
I'm trying to create a MineCraft minigame for practise with command blocks, and I don't know how to place a block under a specific person with specific conditions. The conditions varying based on what team they are on.
I have:

Repeating

Chain

execute @a[team=red] ~ ~ ~ testforblock ~ ~-1 ~ concrete 0

Conditional Chain

execute @a[team=red] ~ ~ ~ setblock ~ ~-1 ~ concrete 14

I'm quite sure the way it is set up now whenever any red team member stands on white concrete, red concrete is placed below all of them. I can fix this, with it always placing red concrete below them, but then they break it when they jump. I'm also thinking of giving them points when they replace white or blue concrete, so I need to at least know how to update the score of a specific player on a team.
For now I am going to make each team hold 1 player, and the score held for the whole team.

I think it is like this: The first two XYZ (coordinates) is to mark an specific area and then the last XYZ is what block all blocks in that area should be! For example if the block at the specific xyz is an air block all blocks in the area I marked need to be exact that block... but it feels so weird why cant you just type what block you want it to be for example why can't I just type minecraft:air instead?

texts: In what order will enemies be attacked if the selected target dies mid-turn?

texts:
In Bravely Second: End Layer, in what order will characters attack enemies if the initial target of their attack becomes untargetable mid-turn (ie from dying)?

For example, suppose you are in a battle against enemies A, B, C, and D (in that order on the enemy roster list). You then command all of your party to attack enemy A. After a hit from your first party member, enemy A dies. However, there are still other attack commands from your other party members ready to go. Which of enemies B, C, and D will be selected as the target for those party members' attacks?

I would have assumed that the next enemy in the enemy roster (enemy B in the above example) would be selected as the target, but it doesn't appear to be the case. In fact, from my observations it looks like it is random - but I cannot be sure.

Is there a set order for which enemy would be selected? Or is it random? I would really like to know this since often there are situations where one enemy has a buff such as Reflect or Wall, and having the game choose to attack them without me specifically wanting to attack them would be detrimental.

Now that Starcraft 2 is free to play, is there a painless way to run it in Linux?

People have been doing it with different success for years, but the hacks are spead over different resources and often are distro specific.

I have some specific limitations though.

Since I saw file names like Starcraft64 on a Windows install of Starcraft 2, I would like to run it on a clean 64bit Linux distribution without the multilib 32bit compat layer installed.

I am fine with either 64bit stable wine or the 64bit staging wine, no wrappers like PlayOnLinux or Lutris should be involved.

Is it possible to install and run Starcraft 2 this way?

So far I went to starcraft2.com website and downloaded the installer, but when I ran the file tool on it, I was told it is a 32bit Windows executable, so obviously it won't be able to run under pure 64 wine.

I want to either close a players inventory with a/some command(s) or detect when they don´t have their inventory open. I already know some ways to do this but they are not easy to use or near perfect.
1. My first idea was to simply switch gamemode to spectator and then back to survival because i thought you didn't have an inventory in spectator mode but it didn't work at all and i was wrong.
2. By changing the players spawnpoint to their current location and then killing them, will close the inventory. You also need to set doImmediateRespawn and keepInventory to true. But not only that i also need to disable my death counter and the death system. For me it isnt a problem that their old respawn location will be changed. showDeathMessages should be false so the chat don´t get spammed.
3. Sense you can´t sprint/walk/jump when your inventory is open you can detect if the player does any of that and if it does you know their inventory is closed. This isnt perfect either because the player must move before it will detect. Exemple: scoreboard objectives add jump minecraft.custom:minecraft.jump
4. I also tried with nbt. When running this command /data get entity @s. You will see example isFurnaceGuiOpen or isSmokerGuiOpen. One of them is just isGuiOpen and sense there isnt a isInventoryGuiOpen i thought that was for the inventory but it wasn't. When putting this command on repeat
execute if entity @a[nbt={isGuiOpen:1b}] run say hi nothing happens even if i have my inventory open or not :(
Is there any other way to do this?  (Java 1.16.1)

Very mild spoilers ahead for the Bhakti side quest.

Once you complete Bhakti's side quest, by bringing him his Bhakti oil, Bhakti tries to 'save' his friends. When he realises that humans need constant re-fuelling and have all died he powers down and is unresponsive.

Is there anyway to revive Bhakti after this point and can he give you any items, new quests etc?

When I need to move a crafting table, chest, and/or furnaces, I usually use my tools.  I end up moving those items a lot as I change the layout of my place / mine from time to time.  I also know mining/ digging/etc wears on that tool so:

Does picking up the those items wear on my tools?

Should I move those items by hand or use the tools?

I hate breaking my tools! I want them to last forever!

I enjoyed the first level of MirrorMoon EP, looks like a cool game so far. But I'm completely lost on what to do on SOL.

On side A, the disk says 95%, and doesn't let me play. On side B, the disk now says 94%. Does that mean I've already done everything I can possibly do?

I start by rushing towards the concentric circles to an elephant boneyard-looking flashing house. A click sound happens when I arrive, but nothing seems to change other than the rings stop ringing.
I go to the tent and pick up the red triangular pyramid moon-rotator.
I go to the archway that illuminates when the animated markers hit it, and pick up the blue moon-marker shooter.

Then I go to the broken tower and watch an eclipse every five minutes or so. The only change seems to be the sky darkening, and the navigator cursor reappearing on the moon.

I have no idea what to do after that. I tried:

Walking into the tiny white ball at one tower (takes me back to the navigation menu)
Searching for the moon-dragger gun piece (can't find it)
Rotating the moon every which way (no change)
Shooting sites like on the intro level (no change)
Standing at the broken tower during an eclipse (navigation cursor reappears, much wow)
Standing near the rocks pointed at by the middle row of running markers

The left and right rows of running markers point at two pieces of the gun. The middle row seems to point at an empty patch of land, with two rocks and not much else.

Would someone be kind enough to try this game and give me a hint or two for SOL?

MirrorMoon looks like an awesome game, but I can't help feeling a little frustrated my first moon after the intro level. Ordinarily, I'd go to IGN walkthroughs or the MirrorMoon wiki, but both are almost resources completely empty.

Also posted on r/walkthrough. The video game has such a small following that I haven't gotten much feedback.

texts: Starcraft II - How to drop MULES most efficiently?

texts:
I tested out that the MULES of Terran do not "colide" with SCVs. One mineral patch can have 2 SCVs working at the same time. If the distance is long enough the SCVs work perfectly in groups of 3-4 (2 collect and the others travel). With MULES one mineral patch can have 1 MULE and 2 SCVs without interrupting each other. The rule is that 2 MULES can't work at the same time on a mineral patch.

The problem is that if you drop all your MULES always on the same mineral patch, it gets drained way faster than the others and therefore 2-4 SCVs lose their job in that base and become obsolete.

My question is how to minimize that effect considering that a usual base in Starcraft II has 4 mineral patches with double the amount of the other 4. Those with half the amount are further away to compensate. Every other race mines them out evenly if they send exactly 16 workers on those 8 mineral patches.

My nephew is all excited about Undertale, but did not play the game yet. I would like to gift it to him for Christmas. Unfortunately, he only plays games with his iPad (and is not computer savvy) and I am only familiar with Windows and Linux.

I set up an account on Steam and noticed that it's possible to give games to another user. It would be no problem to set up another account for him and give the game from my account to his, but I don't know if this will work with his iPad.

texts: How do I copy player data from one account to another in the same bedrock world?

texts:
I am playing with a friend in a bedrock edition world. My friend created a Microsoft account to use, but this caused him to respawn in the world with nothing. Using MCC Tool Chest, I attempted to copy the player data from his old account to his new one, but was unable to figure it out. I got as far as figuring out which player needed to be copied to which, but didn't find a "copy player button". When selecting the original player, I found I was only able to clone one file at a time.

So, to summon things up, I found I can slowly copy files from one player to another, but I am asking for a better method. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks in advance.

I've been playing Quake 3 for a long time now.  I recently bought a new laptop and I am experiencing highly variable latency.  My ping seems to just bounce around between 30 - 140ms at random.  Since my ping varies so much players find it difficult to kill me.  Even though it is easy for me to kill them.  Obviously, they think I'm hacking.  So, how do I stabilize my ping so that it isn't bouncing around?

For those of you who play Quake 3, this information might come in handy:

timeNudge = -10
com_maxfps = 125
maxpackets = 100
rate = 25000
snaps = 40

I saw people on the Internet lament about the game crashing while playing as Chandra, so I'm pretty sure it's not something that would be unlocked later.

texts: How can I draw the attention of ("ping") other Minecraft players to a specific point in space?

texts:
In multiplayer Minecraft play, is there a way to visually draw the attention of other players to a point in the world? Much like the "ping tool" in Portal 2, or to a lesser extent, the minimap ping in Starcraft.

I am mostly interested in using this in creative mode, especially when all players are already nearby and I want to direct their attention to a single spot in a room. I am using a Bukkit server, so answers that relate to that are also acceptable.

If it's not clear, the Portal 2 ping tool looks like this: . There's an animation that is visible no matter where the player is looking (even away from the target, even on the other side of a wall), and then it focuses in on the point of interest.

texts: How does the new "smart" quest sorting in Warlords of Draenor work?

texts:
A preview of the Quest Log in Warlords of Draenor states the following:

In Patch 6.0.2, we’ve made a brand-new UI to bring together the Map and the Quest Log with everything you need to manage multiple ongoing adventures. Now when you browse by zone in the Map & Quest Log, you’ll find all of the associated quests you’re on, your progress, and relevant cartography.
In addition to intelligently ordering your quests, the new window (default hotkeys: M or L) gives you more information about your objectives right on the map. It also features scroll-wheel zooming, click-and-hold panning, and a handy View All Quests button—plus, if you leave it open while you’re moving, it fades so that you can see both the map and the landscape you’re venturing into.

In Mists of Pandaria, I can choose to order quests by proximity, and then if I've selected the top quest (which has the closest objective), once I've completed it, my active objective automatically moves to the next closest quest—and as I move around, if a particular quest is now closer, it moves to the top of my quest tracker, and and I can change my active quest to that one.
Here's a screenshot of the quest log from the beta, though:

As you can see, the top quest in my quest tracker on the right is close to my current location, but the map shows that I have a completed quest ready for turn-in considerably closer. While the tracker has definitely changed the order of displayed quests, I can't tell why it's ordering quests in the way that it is, and I no longer have the option of changing the order of displayed quests.
So: how does the sorting algorithm decide how to order my currently displayed quests?

texts: Started game before trophy support; after update (which adds trophies), they still can't be earned?

texts:
First off, sorry for the vague title, but I can't find a good way to describe this situation in brief.

Recently my brother and I began playing Uncharted on PS3 (yes I realize we're 7 years late.) When we started the game we were told to update, but we were so eager to play we decided to forego what we thought would be a lengthy download. We had done it before on other games plenty of times and never had any problems. Besides it doesn't matter if we download it later, right?  Perhaps not...

We played for a while, and truly enjoyed the game. Once we began to get tired, we closed the game and decided to leave the PS3 downloading and installing the update. That's when we found the sad, and ironic, truth: the update was under 15MB, and this is where the trouble began.

The next time we started the game, we were happy to know that trophy support had been added. Looking through the list of available trophies we saw that there was one we already qualified for, and another we could earn momentarily.  We had already found a treasure or two, so we expected the First Treasure trophy to pop as soon as the game booted. It didn't.

I figured the game wasn't counting yet (which I could understand), so we started playing again and quickly found another piece of treasure, but still First Treasure did not pop.

Flabbergasted, we tried to reason this out, and figured perhaps it only worked on your first treasure ever. If we really needed it, we'd make a new save file and quickly grab it.

Then things got scary. After playing for a while we hit two other trophies whose criteria we had not met earlier. They were Beginner Fortune Hunter and 10 Headshots. The in-game messages* notified us of the achievements, but the trophies did not unlock.

* The game has its own award system that is separate from the PSN trophy system. That said most achievements mirror directly to a corresponding trophy.

In short it seems that although the game has updated and added trophy support, we still can't earn any trophies.

What can be done in a situation like this? We're not so desperate for trophies that we'd go to any extreme to get them, but if there is a simple solution, I'd love to hear it. :)

texts: When to use which strategy in Afterwind?

texts:
I am playing Afterwind quite regularly nowadays and I was wondering when one should use which strategy. For example, if you are surrounded by a lot of other players maybe you should use prefect defense but lack of expansion will mean you will get bankrupt very soon, so maybe Imperialist will be better strategy because it will reduce the cost of all units and let u afford more even though units will have low hit points than usual. Even Gurilla warfare won't be a bad strategy under the circumstance.

So what strategy should be used in what situation keeping in mind the number of player surrounding you, starting limit (high or low), and special scenario like WW2 or WW3?

Is it even possible to pick these up?  If so, will I need certain items?  How can I do it?

Fi mentions at some point in the game that you could get some when I returned to the forest but I wasn't really paying attention to what she said on how and never figured out myself.


texts: I can't see messages of enemy players in chat (War Thunder)

texts:
I have been playing War Thunder for a few years with no problem. But more recently, I started watching Youtube videos of WT gameplay, as well as started playing more custom battles. Something I see on Youtube videos is a few enemy players using the [All] chat feature, and their messages are visible.
  But when I play, I see none, even in custom battles, where enemies talking to both teams in chat is very common. I can tell that enemies are using chat with both teams because I see many "ghost conversations", where my teammates answer questions and reply to nothing (I can see) in chat. Here is an example of a "ghost conversation" I saw:

(Teammate)> hey (Enemy Player) I like ur skin

(Teammate)> you custom made that? what program did you use?

(Teammate)> ok thanks, i'm getting it now

{comes back with new skin}

(Teammate)> you like?

(Teammate)> thx

(Teammate)> oh ok bye

This is from a custom match, and the messages were uninterrupted by any messages in between. I have no problem viewing teammates' messages.

Edit: When I first got the game I could see enemy chat messages. That was on an older computer, but this glitch started on that computer after about a half-year break from the game and carried on to this newer computer.


texts: How do I keep from bleeding to death after I punch this window?

texts:
I'm playing Cryptozookeeper.

I need to retrieve an ape, and circumstances suggest the correct course of action is to punch this window so that I can break into the facility where it's being held. As soon as I do so, my companions are aghast, and I begin bleeding profusely.

At this point, I only have a few turns to address my medical condition.

I've tried checking the room for medical supplies, but all I've found is a receipt in a filing cabinet. Before getting too much further, I bleed to death.

How do I keep this from happening? Is there a better way into the building?

texts: Are there different fences giving different prices for loot in the city?

texts:
I just started playing Thief: Deadly Shadows. I'm now in the city for the first time.

I'm wondering if there will be different fences over the course of the game. Will they give different prices for my loot? Does it make sense to hold back on selling now, to get better prices later on?

If not, is there any reason not to always use "sell all"?


texts: How does the amount of money in the Coffers relate to the resources received in Miscellania?

texts:
After the Throne of Miscellania quest, you rule the kingdom of Miscellania.  You can assign workers to resources to gather for  you and manage the kingdom.  Part of managing the kingdom, is depositing money into the coffers.

I usually keep 3.2 million gold in it at a time out of the maximum 7.5 million.  Is there a certain amount the coffers go down each day on reset or is it proportional in someway? Does putting more money into the coffers yield more resources (while at a 100% approval rating)?

Do I have to craft a badge?
Before I was level 10 cards gave me XP, why don't they give me XP anymore?
How much XP will I get from crafting a badge and leveling that badge up?

Well if any of you can answer back that would be great. Good day.


texts: Is it possible to play two different Steam games on the same account at the same time?

texts:
I own a lot of games on Steam, and I'm overall a big fan of the service.

However, one thing about it really bothers me, and I'm wondering if anything can be done about it.

Let's say I have two different online, multiplayer games, both of which I legally own.   If I bought these games normally, I could be playing one of them online, while my fiance could play the other one online on another computer.

However, with Steam, I can only be signed in on one computer at a time.  So, despite the fact that I have bought about 40 games, if I'm playing one of them, someone else in my house is not able to play any of the others.

Is there a way to get around this?  I don't think this is illegal or immoral as I own both of the games in question, and only one person is playing the game at a given time (same IP address and the same household, so it should be easy for Steam to verify that I am not sharing my games unfairly).

If I had bought simple boxed copies, this wouldn't be an issue, but since I became such a fan of Steam, I can't play any of those games at the same time as my fiance.

Is there anything that can be done?

texts:
I am playing on Normal mode, Level 47-ish, and using the Colosseum key blade (the most powerful one I know of anyway). I am trying to beat Chernabog (when you revisit him, and he's in a volcano).

What I do is cast my protection spell, and then just start fighting him. I try my best to avoid his two main attacks (especially the one where he makes the volcano erupt), and his fire breath. However once I get him down to his second to last health bar then I start getting in trouble. Donald, and Goofie by this point are both incapacitated (until they get back up with their spell), but soon after get incapacitated. So really three is no point in healing them up aside from heals, and protection spells. Admittedly Donald is bit under leveled, because I neglected to play with him more in the early game so he is a tad bit weaker than Goofie.

Anyway am I just under leveled, or is there some trick I am missing here?


texts: Can I stop an Uruk from inviting all his friends to the party?

I'm currently trying to work out how to kill my nemesis, who's survived death twice. I nearly got him a third time, but he keeps calling in reinforcements, multiple times. While I've managed to thin the herd, its pretty hard to kill someone with quick life regeneration (and a ton of other buffs) while I'm trying also needing to deal with an ever increasing cloud of lackeys.

Is there any way I can interrupt a Uruk calling in reinforcements in Shadow of Mordor?


texts: How do I get Lydia to stop attacking people so I can progress in the quest?

texts:
I'm at the first quest in College of Winterhold and I came in with Lydia. Tolfdir wanted me to demonstrate the Ward spell but Lydia was in the middle and not moving at all and the quest wouldn't progress even though I used the spell. So I told her to stop following but suddenly she started attacking Tolfdir and everyone was attacking. Since she goes to a tired state, it became a loop where she would fight after getting up over and over again...

I love Lydia as a faithful housecarl and so I don't wanna kill her... So what should I do?

Info: I don't use any mods and only have the add-ons (Dawnguard and so on)


texts: Do abilities based on weapon damage take both one-handers into account?

texts: How can I alleviate intermittent freezes?

texts:
While playing the game mostly everything goes smoothly except for one thing, intermittent freezing. Every so often (pretty much at random) the game will stutter, and by that I mean it will freeze then quickly go to where it should be. If you've ever played a game like Amnesia: The Dark Descent or any of the Penumbra games you probably know that the atmosphere is amazing, but this stuttering really makes the game hard to enjoy (it's still enjoyable, but not quite as much with the frequent stuttering/lag/freezing temporarily).

Things I've tried, but didn't help:

Lowering my settings (both custom and the presets) to see if it was my system.
Modify my main configuration file (one of the developers/administrators recommended trying it). See his post below:
(Original Post)
Update drivers (stable and beta version).
Close all unnecessary background programs.

This is not an isolated incident other people on Frictional Games forums say that they have nearly the same or similar problem. So, does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how I can try and fix this or at least make it more playable?

My system specs are:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits
AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.20GHz
8GB DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT430 1GB

texts:
In Dead Island (1), every time that you landed a critical hit with an elementally modified weapon on an enemy, the elemental effect would be applied. Among the elemental effects, there are fire, shock, impact, poison, fire, and bleeding.

texts: What's the fastest way to rile up an angry, murderous mob to poison for Mosh Pit?

texts:
For the achievement Mosh Pit, I have to poison 10 guards at once.  I attempted this last night by breaching the palace walls and having 3 sets of Janissaries attack me at the same time.  Despite flinging Desura bombs as if they were full of candy, I didn't manage to get 10 of the poisoned at once.

One of the other achievements also requires that I have a group of 5 guards injured by caltrops and then scaffold'ed, which seems somewhat similar in that I need a whole mess of guards in a relatively confined space.

What's a good way to get a whole bunch of guards together, and what's the best way to get them all poisoned at once?

Why did she leave the hospital? Will she recover while working or should I try to force her back in bed again?

If you create a trait with birth = 0 and inherit_chance = 100, does that effectively create a trait that only your ancestors can have?

In other words does the inherit_chance attribute take precedence over the birth attribute?

birth- Given number out of every 10000 characters born will receive this trait, (e.g., 100 = 1%)

inherit_chance- A newborn can inherit the trait from a parent (optional); if both parents have the trait, uses two trials of same chance

texts: How can I check how long I need to wait for the next bank deposit?

texts:
I never know how long I have to wait until the next bank deposit. I know it's meant to be every 20 minutes and that there are events that annoyingly reset the timer without telling you, so I was wondering if there's a way to check how much longer I need to wait for the next deposit (assuming it won't be interrupted).

I'd like something more specific than 'dawn, midday, and dusk' because those are just as hard to time as 'every 20 minutes'. Is there a timer anywhere I can have a look at? I've not found anything so far but I've only just started playing and was hoping that after two games they'd include something as simple and useful as this.

texts: Multiple Canteens and Kitchens in my prison

texts:
I tried making multiple cell blocks, with each trying to be relatively self-sustainable (for each cell block, a shower, canteen, yard) but even though a canteen was closer to prisoner's cells, they still went down to the first canteen, where the other cell block was eating.

In other games, when multiple blocks shared a canteen, I'd change the regime so half the population was eating while the other was in the yard, or whatever. Here I didn't do that since I figured they'd go to the closest one, but obviously I was wrong. Here are some other things I tried:

Restricting one canteen to Normal Security and the other to Minimum.
Result: Max Sec had nowhere to eat, but I had so few prisoners there it wasn't worth creating a third canteen
Trying to restrict hallways in the same fashion (min/normal sec).
Result: Same effect, Max Sec went hungry. Alternate paths for those prisoners were used by others just because of the layout of the prison.
Ensured that both canteens/kitchens were stocked with cooks in each one. Food was prepared in both (with food on the serving table).
Result: The cooks in the 2nd kitchen went down to the first, even though they were not needed. Prisoners still ate at 1st canteen

I suspect that Logistics can solve this problem somewhat, but I didn't really want to direct each prisoner to a particular place to eat, although I could if that was solution.

The bigger question I have then is, is it even worth having multiple canteens and kitchens? I've seen some layouts in the Steam Workshop where in a centrally-located position, there is just one large canteen and kitchen area that apparently services all cell blocks, presumably at different times of the day. Is that the most efficient method? It always seems that fights break out during meal time. Metal detectors at the doors don't help if they use their spoon to disembowel an inmate over some Jello in the canteen.

If it matters, I've not yet had an issue of running out of land, I usually find that a particular layout is faulty, so I sell my prison to start another with more startup cash to test another layout. (I'm hoping I get one big enough where it does become a problem!)

I'm trying to plan out my build but don't currently have the skill points to test this out for myself.

Is this a passive ammo capacity bonus that is in effect even if I'm not using that particular ammo power?
If so, will the ammo capacity bonus from different ammo (such as Incendiary and Disruptor) powers stack, such that I'd have +60% capacity?


texts: AppleArcade The Oregon Trail: What does wagon grease do?

texts: In the AppleArcade version of the Oregon Trail, the purpose of wagon grease is described as increasing the wagon's resistance to damage. When used, the wagon glows green for a moment with some + symbols hovering around it. However, from my experience it does not really seem to do anything, and I can't find a menu showing the wagon's current damage resistance or anything like that. So does it actually work, or could it be bugged? It's very inexpensive so perhaps it works but doesn't have much effect?

texts: Can I transfer my downloaded GTA 5 from PS3 to PC or PS4?

texts: I bought and downloaded GTA 5 from the Playstation store on my PS3 and I would like to have it on my PC or maybe even PS4. I do not wish to have a duplicate game, if I have GTA 5 on my PC I will definitely not be playing it on the PS3. I understand it is highly unlikely I can transfer my game from PS3 to PC but I can not seem to find anyone else asking the same question and especially can't find the answer. I am not worried about game saves and character progress, I am only asking if I can change the platform of my game just once without any duplication. I would really like to play on PC but if it's not possible I would like to know if it is possible with the PS4. I already bought the game at 59.99, I am asking for the exact same game, just different platform. Sorry if I repeated myself but I wanted to be thorough and detailed.


texts: What are the type of view projections in League of Legend, or Dota 2?

texts:
I know the theories behind parallel, perspective, and side scrolling, but still can't tell exact projection types used behind the games confidently. Although similar questions have been asked before, the answers seem to differ from person to person, confusing me even more.

Does League of Legends and Dota 2 use perspective projection with really far away vanishing points? I find it really hard to observe perspectiveness in Starcraft 2 graphics for example, even though some of the answers in the similar question suggests that it is indeed using perspective projection. So I'm guessing here that the SC2 graphics engine uses very far away vanishing points, which makes me wonder if the same technique applies to the games like League of Legends and Dota 2.


texts: How to increase Rome: Total War beyond "Very Hard" settings

texts:
Rome Total War was a classic game that I had the pleasure of being introduced to as a teenager on Christmas day. After re-installing this game and playing both the locked and unlockable factions on "Very Hard" I found the battles and campaign scenarios trivial compared to when I was just a kid. Although I have played as every faction, I feel that I could derive more enjoyment from this game if I could find a way to make it more challenging.

Is there a mod(s) or configuration files that I can adjust to make this game truly challenging?

Note: At the risk of sounding immodest, I will say that I am a military genius as far as gaming is concerned. I am a grandmaster in Starcraft 2 and have won RTS tournaments and crushed dozens of human opponents at LANs and other organized events. SO BRING ME A CHALLENGE!!!

texts: How to show extra info about skills and items

texts:
I was watching a VOD (I can't recall which one) and Luminous showed some extra information about skills like range, type of damage and etc. Things that the interface don't really say. I think the text would show in green in the tooltip box like the aghanim's info.
He said that pressing 'o' would show that information and that it was very useful, but I went to dota and pressed 'o' and nothing happened. I don't have any commands attached to the 'o' key and I didn't found any option in the controls menu like "show extra info" or something like that.
The information the interface provides to you about the skills and the items isn't really that specific to the point of saying if the some abilities have orb effect or can stack with orbs and that kind of stuff. Does anyone knows how to show this information?


texts: Is it possible to maintain a max rank with all six syndicates?

texts:
There are a total of six syndicates currently available to side with in Waframe since the Proxy Wars addition. However, due to their allegiances and conflicts, raising standing with one allied syndicate (via wearing the appropriate sigil) will decrease standing with two other syndicates. By switching what sigils I have equipped around, I can control what standings go up and down per mission.

So, I was curious. is it possible, through micromanaging, to maintain a max standing with all of the six syndicates. I know it's not too difficult to accomplish with three, and a little bit more challenging with four. But, five or six?


texts: Does Animal Crossing: New Horizons have an offensive words filter for the island name?

texts:
In the Bridge chatroom, today we had a discussion on whether Animal Crossing: New Horizons would allow the name "Tardanas" (a name that was randomly generated by one of the online name generators) because the name contains an offensive word. Some of us think that the "no offensive words please" message on the name entry screen is just a "scouts honor" thing, but I personally think that it might be blocked, because even though you can only play with friends, there is still the reality of livestreaming and let's plays where these names might show up and Nintendo does not want that kind of publicity.

Does the game have an offensive words filter for the island name?


texts: What will happen when I ignite the flammable gas for Keely?

texts:
I'm currently exploring Vault 22 for a couple of quests: There Stands the Grass and I Could Make You Care. I've just spoken with Keely and downloaded the experimental data needed for the quests from the terminal on the 5th floor. Additionally, I have found Keely and found out that she wants to destroy the plants by flooding the vault with a flammable gas and igniting it.

I'm not sure if I'll have to go back to the Vault to re-download the data once I've completed one of the quests, and I don't know igniting the gas will affect my ability to re-download it (i.e. if the flames will destroy the terminal and the data).

If I choose to help Keely, will I be able to go back down to the 5th floor of Vault 22 and get the data again?


texts: Multiple Strange Errors when Starting TF2 Dedicated Server

texts:
Before I ask this question, note that I am referring to a strange error in the console when starting my server, not a strange kill tracking weapon in Team Fortress 2!

When I start my server, I get 2 strange sounding errors in the console. They both relate to, what I think is, missing textures. This does not affect the game play so far, but have not seen these errors on other servers. I say this is strange because I have followed the official Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server set up guide. I have taken screenshots of the two errors:

This is error one. A lot of missing skybox textures are detected which may effect some maps.

This is error two. This is the most interesting one because it seems to be missing the variable $CO_X which seems to be referring to a development texture.

------Any help regarding fixes to these errors, or what these errors even are would be appreciated.Note: I have sv_pure set to 2 and SourceMod and MetaMod installed. No plugins are installed however. You can find my server.cfg on pastebin.

EDIT: Later on I was on my server and I opened the terminal to this. I don't know what it is but seems like more missing textures?

texts: How do you unlock skulls in Halo Anniversary?

texts: I have a feeling that it's tied to stuff in online mode.  Is this the only way to unlock skulls?


texts:
I've been heavily invested in the DPS role: my main character is a warlock who I've played for 5 years. But I wanted to start exploring the other two roles: tanking and healing.

I have a paladin alt that I wanted to start to use for tanking for some time: I've leveled it to 78, but 90% of that was solo, and the other 10% was basic healing. So I don't know where to start, especially post-Cataclysm. I've tossed around learning-by-doing using the Dungeon Finder, but the tank role is particularly crucial and getting chewed out over and over while I'm learning on the job doesn't sound particularly fun.

I understand the numbers: what stats are important, what to talent, what to glyph: my question is really about the actual gameplay.

How do I pick targets? What rotations or spell priorities should I use? What should I be looking out for? Are there any up-to-date tutorials that assume no knowledge?


texts:
I've been enjoying some SMAC recently and I've frequently been confronted by massive swarms of mind worms towards the end of the game. I presume that this is related to the "growth dream" you read about in many of the Book of Planet interludes. I've encountered swarms of up to 30 mind worm units which can devastate even a 24-pop base. This forced me to pull forces from the front line with other human factions. Luckily I won with Transcendence before they could deal critical damage.

What triggers the arrival and/or size of these giant swarms? Is it purely based on M.Y.? Specific technologies or secret projects? Ecological damage? Next time I am thinking that I wish to have a lot more garrison units available to protect my bases and I would like to have a better understanding of the timing so that I'm not desperately trying to produce garrison units too late.


texts: What is the minimum safe spacing between trees to contain forest fires?

texts:
After trying to implement a minor controlled burn to tame the wild forests surrounding my home, I managed to create what I shall heretofore refer to as The Burning Land.

It occurred to me that we do not properly understand fire and its ability to spread from treetop to treetop. I am quite certain that I witnessed fire jumping from leaf block to leaf block over a span of at least two blocks of air, so clearly trees can catch fire even if they are not adjacent to a blaze.

So what is the minimum safe spacing between trees?

(A similar question was raised in Properties of Fire?, but I thought this question could be focused on forest fires, which the other question doesn't appear to address in sufficient detail.)


texts: How to Solve Glitch Preventing Me From Attacking!

texts:
I'm a free to play player who's playing a Jedi Knight, 50th level.  On a mission called Firestorm, on the planet Corellia and at a place called Korvalus Towers I am unable to attack the Sith Stalkers in the game but am fine to attack other opponents.

When I click (any) attack button while focused on the Sith Stalker I get the message, "Out of range. Move closer."  This happens when I'm right up next to the Stalker.  Eventually I die of course and start back at the medical centre - and in this way cannot advance throught the game as this is my Primary (or is it called Class?) Mission.

Anyone else heard of this problem and any ideas how to fix it?

texts: Minecraft Mod: look through nether portal (gl nether mod)

texts:
I watched this video Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 200: 200th Special .

At about 23 minutes he mentions a mod called something like "gl nether mod". This mod looks really cool, but i can't find it anywhere. :( Has it been removed? Or moved to another mod? Or is the mod just too old, and no longer updated?

Hope anyone can help.


texts: What do the numbers by "Global Unlock" mean?

texts:
In my "Career" menu, I have some confusing numbers.

What's the "166"?  I thought that was my experience, but my experience is -414, as denoted by the sad face.

Is it all the experience I've gained, ignoring the experience I've lost?  Or is it something else?  What's that number?

Curiously, after another game, my experience went up, and that 166 went down.
