How to make it recognize all the drives?

and also while downloading something from xbox apps, it is not asking me if I want to save on xbox or the external hard, is that normal?

In the dance hall on the ground floor, (north of the What’s Your Poison bar), there is a ghost who pickpockets Aurum Runes at 5:30.

If you talk to him afterwards, he says:

  I found something very interesting on a large gentleman who passed through here! [...]

  If you can offer me something suitably grisly for my costume, I will trade you whatever I found. Deal?

texts:
I can't aim or fire a bow in Minecraft on my pc computer. I can use other items such as a fishing pole, so I don't think it's a 'Use item' issue.

All other things work fine, like opening doors, magic carpet, etc. A fellow gamer suggested I uninstall and and re-download and install the game. I am wondering if there are any other possibilities before I go to all that trouble.
The last time I tried to download something, it changed my desktop and search engine and it was a pain restoring it all. That was 2 months ago, so not what's wrong now.


texts: How do teleporters work in Steamworld Dig?

texts:
It's been a while since I played Steamworld Dig and I just picked it up again so I can finish it before starting the sequel. It looks like there are "natural" teleporters underground and also some purchasable ones that you can place anywhere along your route. And they all go to the same place above ground!

How does this work? Will it always deliver me to the most recent one I traveled back through? Or the deepest one? Or something else entirely? It doesn't appear that I can pick one to travel to.

2 questions:

1) Where can I get the materials to bring it back to life/keep it healthy?

2) What benefits does it give me? Does it increase a social stat or something?

At the moment, if I build the boulder with blocks having the CanPlaceOn tag, the tag disappear when the player destroys them and they go in its inventory.

texts: How can I tell the difference between NPCs and human players?

texts:
I sometimes have a hard time telling real players from NPCs (especially when the player isn't moving around). So far I've used two methods:

Look for a guild under their name
Look for a class icon above their portrait

Method one doesn't always work, however, because not everyone is in a guild. I thought that method two was foolproof until I came across this character with a warrior icon who was walking along a patrol path much like an NPC guard would.

Is there a way to tell with certainty whether a character is a player or an NPC?

The initial install of AVP 2010 worked fine with Steam. After reinstalling the OS and downloading and installing Steam, I can't install AVP 2010 from disc again.

I don't want to download the game because of limited bandwidth, and tired of downloading 15 Gb every time.

So question is how to install AVP 2010 without Steam interfering? I have installed 5 times again, yet for some reason Steam doesn't see the installation.

When I pop the CD in, it has a "Play Game" option, however when I click on it Steam thinks it isn't installed and wants to download the game again.

Or if there is a way how can I make Steam see the installation?

I have also tried the Steam retail install option, where I execute the install command from run dialog, but that doesn't work for some reason.

Also there is no downloadable content to delete, any ideas?

texts:
How much xp does one get for a guild boss kill in cataclysm?  I can't find a guide for this anywhere.

To be more specific: How much guild xp would be gained given the following circumstances?  It makes more sense to record the amount of xp given per person.  That way the amount of guild xp can be extrapolated exactly based on the number of guildies in the run.

5 man regular dungeon (24800 xp per person, with guild lvl2)
5 man heroic dungeon (37800 xp per person, with guild lvl6)
10 man regular raid (27800 xp per person, with guild lvl6)
10 man heroic raid
25 man regular raid

texts: What are the chances of unboxing a StatTrak weapon?

texts:
It seems that StatTrak variants are all too rare, and sometimes hard to find.  Compare this with TF2, where Strange weapons are aplenty, and unboxing one doesn't take too much effort.

However, nothing in CS:GO seems to suggest any sort of "percentage" of unboxing a StatTrak weapon.  Is this a factor that is affected by the item quality that a gun gets? Is it a "set" flat percentage on all weapons in the crate?

I haven't seen any official documentation listing the official percentage (however, a "Unusual" item is almost always a 1% chance).  What are my chances of unboxing a StatTrak?

I've noted that my ship comes equipped with a distress beacon that I can enable when I am forced to wait.

What does turning this beacon on affect? Does it increase the chance that someone (good or bad) appears quickly?
Do I need to remember to turn it off once I've obtained some fuel?

Works in final fight. Don't work in double dragon. Work in double dragon but after I set all 4 buttons to autofire it doesn't work.

Also once I add autofire button, how do I remove them?

texts: Is it possible to prevent Max from switching weapons during cutscenes?

texts:
Each time a cutscene starts (and god knows it's pretty much all the time in this game), Max switches back to any single right handed weapon he's got.  This is highly annoying, mostly when the cutscene leads to a gunfight: guns are starting blazing everywhere in a second and you have a simple handgun 9mm instead of your favorite ak47, looted at the price of your life a few minutes before.
By the time you understand it, you are dead already.


texts: How to circumvent game breaking bug in GTA: San Andreas (PC)

texts:
I thought I'd give GTA: San Andreas a go, given that I haven't played it yet, and having finished GTA V, I got a copy of GTA:SA and tried to run it on my computer.

Everything seems to work fine, except for the two DDR-like missions, and in fact all the DDR-like minigames (dancing in nightclubs, etc).

The arrows slowly creep to the center (the circle) from the right, but instead of going all the way smoothly, the game seems to skip ahead at least once per second, bringing up several "missed" messages on screen. Since the arrows do not pass by the circle smoothly, the two plot-critical dance missions are not complete-able.

I have tried many different varitions on display settings, trying pretty much all available resolutuibs, with 'widescreen' on and off, 'frame limiter' on and off, and all the other settings on and off.

Nothing seems to help, though. Also, I'm kinda poking in the dark with this, because I have no idea where to even look for a solution.

Aside from this, I didn't notice any other problems with synchronization, or something.

I believe the way the arrows should be synchronized, is evident in this video:

             (one of the few videos, where people don't showcase how to use a glitch to skip the mission).

This is not at all what the arrows do in my case, where the whole set of arrows on screen gets replaces by a set of new arrows, and I get several "missed" messages at once on the screen (sometimes filling the whole screen with "missed" messages).

EDIT

This error was reproducible with both the installation I made from a DVD, and by getting it from Steam.

A partial improvement can be obtained by forcing the game to be started in Windowed mode. To do this, one needs to get hold of a file called d3d9.dll, I got mine from a rather dubious source (some mediafire link I've found in the description of a Youtube video). That file has something to do with older versions of DirectX, but I'm no expert on that. The file needs to be placed next to the gta_sa.exe in the directory where GTA:SA is installed.

Anyway, the game - and especially the DDR-like minigames - become playable once resolution is set to 800x600 or less in "FULLSCREEN", i.e. 4:3 aspect ratio.

It would be nice, if someone might shed some light on what this d3d9.dll file does, and a reliable - non virus infested - source for it.


texts: How do I learn to effectively transfer to 2v2 hard AI as Zerg?

texts:
I've played quite a few 2v2 games now and started moving up to the Hard AI in 2v2.  I do fine as long as I go Terran, but as Zerg I'm having real trouble.  I find that I have 2 weaknesses in my gameplay:

1)  initial rush survival.
I can't make zerglings or lings/roaches do well against the computer.  I haven't tried going zergling/banelings yet, but even on medium AI unless i have burrow I don't seem to be able to use my banelings effectively.  Going hard spine crawlers is difficult because of lack of early creep production.

2)  transfer to late mid-game.
When I do manage to survive the initial rushes (usually due to a really effective companion) then I'm having trouble getting into an effective late mid game and end game.  I've been really effective against the ai with harassing mutalisks, especially since you can get the AI to ping-pong their troops, but microing that harassment while keeping my economy going and teching up to t3 units is giving me problems.  If I go heavy hydras then I essentially have the same problem.  I do ok until the computer techs up enough that mass hydras just aren't cutting it anymore, then I find myself behind on the tech and economy race.  What t3 units complement a hydra-heavy build?

With no weather active, Hurricane has an accuracy of 70%. In the rain, however, the accuracy of the attack is boosted. Serebii states that its accuracy becomes 100%.

Veekun and Psypoke both confirm this as well.

During Rain Dance, this move has 100% accuracy. – Veekun
During Rain Dance, it becomes 100% accurate. – Psypoke

However, Bulbapedia states that Hurricane "cannot miss" in the rain (emphasis mine).

Hurricane cannot miss when used during heavy rain, but has an accuracy of 50% during intense sunlight. – Bulbapedia

This is slightly unclear. It could be trying to state that Hurricane has a 100% accuracy and therefore cannot miss unless the attacker's accuracy or defender's evasion have been modified. It could also be trying to say Hurricane is unable to miss in the rain, similar to Aerial Ace and other similar moves. Does Hurricane have 100% accuracy in the rain, or can it not miss?

texts: What causes the bounty hunters and police to attack you relentlessly?

texts:
In Red Dead Redemption 2 it's no mystery how you end up with a price on your head and that bounty hunters will try to find you if you are worth anything at all. The other day, admittedly with a $500 bounty on my head which may be the game's maximum per region, I was attacked by bounty hunters that just magically appeared on the screen and radar unlike how they normally appear, which is a red haze in a direction.

Fortunately, I ride guns out all the time and I was able to slaughter that attack quickly but not thinking anything of it, I tried to loot the bodies and many more showed up before I was done looting even the first guy. I took them down too. Then more and more and not just bounty hunters, also guys with star icons surrounding me and charging hard - maybe military, maybe police. Not sure. By way of blind luck, lots of pre-cooked core refilling food, miracle tonics, and a ton of bullets I managed to live through what seemed like a 10 minute unending rampage where everyone in the country wanted me dead badly. Probably 50 to 80 men died that day. The battle was one of legends.

I lived. It was amazing. I never paid that bounty off, but seeking the challenge I often ride around that area seeing if they ever send an assault like that at me again. So far it never happened again, so I don't think it's just that I have maxed out my bounty price.

What exactly triggers this kind of assault? I know if I step foot near Blackwater, which I am currently wanted dead or alive, they come out of the woodwork but not in unending waves like before. Maybe I did something without knowing it, like smacking a cop with my horse or something. Sometimes lawmen just ride out in the open and I am not the most careful of riders. I was in the swamps in northern Lemoyne when this massive attack happened. Far from a city.

Anyone else experienced this and know how to trigger that kind of attack again?

UPDATE

It happened again. This time in another region of leymoyne by the civil war site. No known trigger but this time I was much more prepared. I fended off some hundred men or so with the fury of a full army. They spawn with no time between. It's like the game goes into some kind of elimination mode and it won't stop until you're dead. After a while I figured it would never end and I took off and happened to run into Rhodes where I am still somehow a deputy. They immediately quit the assault and left me alone. The down side to this is the bodies disappeared so I couldn't loot them but all the horses I killed were still there so I could loot their saddlebags and recover something from the attack. It was amazing and I'd like to know what makes this happen. It's clearly not a fluke but still no insight on what I did to make it happen.

texts:
I have heard that a zone which is completely surrounded by walls (with doors and windows permitted) results in more efficient production.

Does this require that the zone have a room to itself (i.e. all floor tiles within the wall are that zone) or merely that the zone is within a room (so that multiple zones can share one room/building)?

Or is it simply that zones are enhanced by nearby walls, without regard to whether they are contiguous?

Additionally, does it matter whether the walls are more than 1 block high (i.e. cannot be walked over), or whether there is a roof?


texts: So, what did happen on that drunken night anyway?

texts:
So, I have "A Night to Remember" as one of my (very many) open side-quests as I'm idly exploring some random wooded area I happened upon...

   Then, I come across Witchmist Grove, where I find a Hagraven.  Strange thing about this Hagraven is that she was actually named (Moira, I think) and didn't immediately go aggro on me.

 After her first lines, my prompt gives an option to ask her about a ring I (the player) currently have no remembrance of.  She declines to hand it over, seemingly jealous of some other Hagraven I've also not heard of, and then starts to attack me.

 After I defeat her and loot the corpse, I now have a wedding ring which must have been the subject of our debacle.

As if the encounter wasn't odd enough so far...

   Suddenly, I get two quest objectives immediately completed:

 - Ask about Sam and the staff in Rorikstead.
 - Take the wedding ring.

Prior to this point, I knew I had the former objective to complete, but hadn't gotten around to it.  Presumably, the former would have lead to knowledge of the latter so now I really feel like I've missed out on something.

Could someone fill in the gaps for me?

P.S.:  In probably unrelated news, I'm now fighting a dragon not far from where this all happened.  I'm sure that's not an uncommon occurrence, except this one seems strangely adept at flying backwards!

texts: FPS drops for a minute or two then recovers

texts:
I've noticed this behavior when playing either Just Cause 3 or The Crew. My FPS is usually from 40+ to 60. But from time to time, it drops to ~20 FPS. Then usually after a minute, it goes back to my normal FPS. These are my Specs:

Windows 10 Fall Creators update (Build 16299.125), 64-bit
Lenovo Y50-70 notebook, 15-inch FHD IPS screen
Intel i7-4720HQ
NVIDIA GTX 960M, Driver 388.71 (release date: 12/20/2017)
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 RAM @ 799MHz
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10S21X-24R1BT0-SSHD-8GB (SATA)

Things I've already done:

Windowed mode
Disabled "Override high DPI scaling behavior"
Enabled "Disable fullscreen optimizations"
Disabled everything relating to the Game Bar/DVR.

Edit:

Windows Defender's Periodic Scanning is off.
Kaspersky Free Antivirus's idle scan and rootkit scan are disabled.

Notes:

I have only Kaspersky Free Antivirus as my security program.
This gets triggered mostly during intense action sequence or speedy animations.
But sometimes this happens abruptly.
What's consistent is it always goes back to the my usual FPS, albeit the duration of the drop varies.
This doesn't happen before. Although I can't remember when this started happening. The first time I completed Just Cause 3, this never happened.

What else can I try? On top of my head is try using DDU and then reinstall the latest graphics driver. Using DDU and reinstalling the latest drivers didn't resolve the issue. Thank you very much.

texts: Can I skip all the checkpoints in Shovel Knight by jumping over them?

texts:
Can I skip a checkpoint without destroying it by jumping over it on level ground? I tried with the first few checkpoints in the game and at some point during the arc I dipped too low and triggered the checkpoint.

Edit: as mentioned in an answer below, not all checkpoints are the same size.


texts:
I've completed both Jack and Miranda's loyalty quests. They then have this scripted argument, and without the proper paragon/renegade you have to basically pick a side and the other one gets mad at you and loses her loyalty.

Can you talk to either of them at a later time and get that person back to being loyal or are you stuck after this scripted event?


texts:
Through the years I have borrowed or owned at least four or five copies of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Each time it'd either be given back, given away, or resold after I finished playing it... but I keep coming back for more.

Trouble is, I want Riku's story. I love playing as Riku, and I love the limitation of the fixed decks. Sora's story is boring most of the time, and the deck building system is just really jarring to me, and all the different Keyblades! I'll admit, I love Sora's Trinity sleight and the battle against Marluxia... but that's really all I like.

Meanwhile, Riku... holy hell, Riku's Dark Mode mechanic is so much fun to play with, and the restriction of the fixed decks really makes you work your battling skills...

So yeah. I have a new copy of KH:CoM. Is there any way at all I can unlock Riku's story without spending hours stumbling through Sora's?

texts:
I have a PvP Quest to acquire 100 Artifact Shards from Ashran. I am aware this is a PvP battleground of sorts, but it's also a major city hub (Warspear / Stormshield), and while I've been to the latter fairly often over the 90-100 journey, I've never been to the former.

Attempting to leave the faction city appears to bring me into a queue once I reach the main part of the island, but is there any other way? Ashran does not appear to be an option under the battleground menu like other PvP content.

texts: I messed up a child's skills; can I reskill him without loading a previous savegame?

texts:
According to Serenes Forest, children inherit the one skill from each parent that is equipped by the parent and is listed in the last position of their skill list. The child inherits those skills the moment one begins the chapter in which he/she is recruited.

I had paired up Donny with Lissa and just started the chapter, in which Owain is recruited and - stupidly - forgot to reorder Donny's and Lissa's skills beforehand, resulting in Owain not inheriting Donny's Aptitude and inheriting Healtouch from his mother which is useless for a non-healer.

Even worse: I noticed my blunder only after I had saved in battle-preparation mode right before beginning battle.
Unsurprisingly, reordering the parents' skills during battle-preparation is already too late.

Is it possible to reskill the child, without having to restart a new game?

texts: Despoina Leviathan DLC How to get past the enemies?

texts:
In Leviathan DLC, on Despoina how do you get past the Brute attack and still pick up power cells from Cortez? I tried running all over the place to get to Cortez, but died as many times.

I am in my final push to get to Leviathan, just unable to get to Cortez.

I tried killing all the enemies from cover, but the waves never end.

Normally in these situations, there is a gun available that can help with the fight. But I have not found such gun, and the enemies are kicking me where it hurts.

So how to achieve my goal to get to the Leviathan?


texts: How can I defend and build up early-game in the campaign as Eldar in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade?

This question applies to campaign mode where the opponent begins with an established army and map control, rather than the equal footing start of a multiplayer match

I thought the base was 1, and I don't see any negative modifiers.


texts: When does the health buff for enemies occur in coop games?

But when does this buff apply?
Let's say I'm fighting a boss and he has 1000 total hp, and I downed it to 50% hp, so he has 500 hp left. If a new player suddently joins the game, the remaining 500 hp for the boss get immediately increased? or it stays the same for enemies already spawned?

texts: Steam with NFS Hot Pursuit: "Failed to contact key server" despite previous success while in offline mode

texts:
I've purchased NFS Hot Pursuit from Steam, and I was supplied a CD key and could run the game after downloading it.  I was then able to run the game with Steam in offline mode, but at one point (after closing and restarting Steam), Steam returns the following error trying to start the game in offline mode:

  Steam - Error

  Failed to contact key server.

The problem cleared up once I got back online.  However, Steam had previously acquired a CD key, and it's my understanding that a CD key should be permanent for the duration of a license, so why did this happen?  Does Steam lose CD keys, and do they require online renewal?


texts:
In the game, Geron is asked by Fahi to explain the meaning of an inscription:

  As the stone rules over the scarab, so rules the scarab over the stone. Enter if to you the answer is known. If not, then forever your life I'll own.

As we find out in the end,

  the riddle is irrelevant to the story, as Sadja couldn't read it. So the heroes stop trying to decipher it.

Earilier, Geron offered an explanation for the riddle,

  saying that it referred to how the mechanism for opening the stone door had the shape of a scarab, so the riddle must have been a hint for opening the door.

Fahi however pointed out that

  the inscription appeared only after the door was opened, so it couldn't have been a clue for how to open it.

Despite the revelation at the end, Fahi's point stands.

Is there an explanation, whether in the game itself or in other material (from what I understand, The Dark Eye is a franchise with a lot of stories) for what the inscription meant?

Is it possible to watch it again from the game without completing it another time?


texts:
I'm making "magic blocks": if you are standing on a specific block you get a potion effect like speed, instant health, strength, etc. The only problem is while trying to make it survival friendly I want the player to have to rename a diamond block to the certain name to make the potion effects work. /execute @a ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:diamond_block 0 /effect @a minecraft:strength 5 30

texts: E:D Powerplay: What makes a system profitable?

texts:
I'm outside my Power's bubble on the map, and not in anyone else's bubble either, just a free system that is up for expansion.

Even though it has 2 pristine metallic rings, multiple Resource Extraction Sites of every intensity level, and a big population (shown below), it's labeled as a low-profit system on the galactic map. The only thing I can see that might make it less than awesome is that it only has one station, but it is a full-size decent station and located at a planet with a pristine metallic ring. It's awesome.

As a miner, I want this to be a controlled system of my Power, but I don't think anyone will help if it's labeled as low-profit.

What makes a system profitable?
Can I make it more profitable somehow?

Yes, I'm conspicuously hiding the name and location. Pirates are everywhere, even SE.


texts: Why does Diablo stop attacking at extremely low life?

texts:
I noticed that when Diablo's life gets really low (not sure the exact %, but it's below 5%) during the final stage of fighting him, he will simply stop attacking and sit there, usually in some strange "I'm dying" position

Is there a reason for this?

The only thing I've used it for so far is to res dead players before killing him, and to remove my weapons/skills and punch him (for the Punch Diablo achievement)

texts: How can I tell if an iOS game uses iCloud Drive?

texts:
I recently got a used iPad to do some "mobile" gaming. I want to move some of my in-progress games from my iPhone to the iPad. I don't want to do a full restore because the devices have dramatically different storage sizes (the iPhone backup probably wouldn't "fit"). I also intend to set up the iPad differently and just don't need everything restored (like Settings).

How can I tell if a game uses iCloud Drive to backup/sync progress, saves, characters, or any other kinds of game data?

I don't want to download each and every game onto the iPad to check, not only because that sounds like a lot of work, but I'm not sure what'll happen if an iCloud Drive syncing app shows up on two active devices at once.

Is it foolproof to look under Settings | General | Storage & iCloud Usage | Manage Storage | "App" and see if it has a "Documents & Data" item? For example, here is Transistor's screen:

texts: At what troop level is GOWIPE an effective attack option?

texts:
I'm at TH8 and have all of the troop options unlocked for my town hall level, although they're not necessarily upgraded yet. Generally, at what point is GOWIPE (Golems, Wizards, Pekkas) an effective attacking option?  For my personal situation, I have level 4 wizards and level 1 Golems and Pekkas, along with level 5 rage and level 4 healing.

I realize all questions like this typically depend on the base being attacked. I'm looking for a general guideline on when I can expect a GOWIPE attack to be effective if the base I'm targeting warrants such an attack. I'm looking for things like:

Are level 1 Golems/Pekkas effective enough?
Should wizards absolutely be at level 5 or higher? (they get huge gains at level 5)
Is GOWIPE even effective at TH8?
Other relevant info to consider.


texts: TF2 Mann vs Machine POP files - what can you do with a Tank?

texts:
When designing wave patterns for MvM, you can create a tank thus:

Tank
{
    Health  1000
    Name    Tank
    Speed   75
    StartingPathTrackNode   boss_path_1
    OnKilledOutput
    {
        Target  boss_dead_relay
        Action  Trigger
    }
    OnBombDroppedOutput
    {
        Target  boss_deploy_relay
        Action  Trigger
    }
}

The style implies that there could be other *Output directives, but I cannot find any other examples. The info in https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Tank_boss suggests other outputs, but there's no "OnBombDropped" there, and "OnHealthBelow90PercentOutput" is an unrecognized directive in the pop file.

Ideally, I would like to be able to either set an attribute on the tank, which could be viewed in a SourcePawn plugin (triggering on the entity being created), or have a parameterized event, perhaps firing User1, which I could then hook.

I suspect there's no way to do this with just SourceMod.

texts: Neverwinter Nights has a lot of locked chests, and it is kind of tedious to unlock (or have a henchman or familiar unlock) a chest when it would take a single bash or spell to break it. But does breaking chests somehow change the loot in it for the worse, like in some other games? It would take a bunch of testing to settle this, but I'm sure someone has already done it and my search-foo just isn't up to it.


texts:
I'm starting up a new Minecraft server.  I was advised to use Bukkit and to use the DefaultCommands plugin to add functionality.  However, upon installation of DefaultCommands, nobody but ops could pick up items...but they had every other permission (set the time, give people items, etc.).  This was a straight-out-of-the-box CraftBukkit install into which I then put the latest DefaultCommands plugin.

I tried mucking around with the permissions file, but it is unclear whether or not I need a special plugin for that, and it is even more unclear as to how I would create permissions that would play nice with DefaultCommands.  The documentation seems half-baked and very out of date.

A quick google search turned up several people asking the same question on the Bukkit forums with no answer; I have confidence that this community might be able to actually give me an answer.

Is there a simple way to make it so that ops/admins of some sort have all the DC permissions and normal (default) users have all the normal, default Minecraft commands (including picking up items...) and nothing more?


texts: If, for example, I pay enough treasure to upgrade Marcelline's health, would I have to pay again if I want to upgrade Jake's health?


texts:
Often when I play TF2 (usually as spy/scout, but sometimes as other classes), I'll find myself suddenly [blasted/incinerated/insert your own favorite way to die] by something I never saw coming. Many times there's no obvious error on my part that caused this, but just plain bad luck (bumping into someone around a corner while invisible, finding out as scout that there's a sentry behind that corner you just passed, etc.).

Although some of these could be avoided by playing more cautiously and paying greater attention to my surroundings, that takes time that I do not have when in dangerous situations. (You can't take 360 spins to ensure nobody's sneaking up on you, you have to kill your target and get out of danger.) Is there any real solution to this, or do I just have to take the deaths, curse my luck, and respawn in 15 seconds?


texts: How do I know where my Archaeology dig sites are?

texts:
I'm probably missing something obvious, but without having to open up my world map and click through every zoomed-in zone map, is there any way to narrow down where dig sites will be? For clarification, I'm talking about the big, red, general "survey around here" splotches.

Are they always in the same places?
Do they spawn in every possible location, or is it like other gathering professions where there are a list of possibilities and a sub-list of current "active" places?
Are there dig sites in all zones, or at least a majority of them?
Can I always trust clicking through the zones to find the next dig site I should visit, or are there some that don't appear until I'm closer?

texts: My companion won't give me my items back in Skyrim

texts:
I have been using my companion, Lydia, as a storage space until I can save up enough to get a house. However, when I try to retrieve certain armor from Lydia that she is NOT wearing and was not hers originally, the game says "can't take teammates' starting armor".
Even if it was actually hers, she doesn't need all 7 fur hides.
Why is this happening and how can I get it back?


texts: What should I be doing as a scout in the opening seconds of an arena match in Team Fortress 2?

texts:
I absolutely love playing arena.  One class that I don't end up playing very much is the scout.  Since arena maps are smaller, running to the front lines once the round starts and finding all twelve of the enemy running straight at me leaves me very vulnerable. I end up just kind of hanging out in the back, waiting for people to spread out, and then start playing.

I feel like I'm totally wasting the speed of the scout.  In CP, I know I could at least start to take the point, but I can't do that in arena.  What should I be doing in that first 30 seconds?

texts: Skyrim SE crashing when not connected to External Monitor

texts:
Okay, so I'm having an issue where Skyrim SE is crashing every time I attempt to run the launcher. Most of the questions available currently answer issues involving mod errors (I do have had mods installed, though I don't think that's the issue).

The reason I don't think mods are the problem is because the game runs perfectly fine when attached to my external monitor. My set up is a gaming laptop with a secondary monitor that I use as my primary display- and that was how it was setup when I first downloaded and ran the game.

Since I practically never move my laptop from my desk, the crashing issue went unnoticed for months. During that time period, I've installed and uninstalled mods and have played practically issue free. It only crashes when I'm not attached to my secondary monitor.

I've tried uninstalling my mods, using steam to check my game files, running a fresh install, changing my skryim prefs adapter settings, changing my primary display settings using windows- nothing has worked.

Any ideas?

texts: Are there any upgrades availiable for the Normandy to help me evade Reapers while gathering resources?

texts:
So, the Normandy is pretty cool. Her scanners have been upgraded, and I can check a few planets at once now to see if they have a shiny rock I might be interested in. Unfortunately, those scanners attract unwelcome attention.

I don't like Reapers, and running away from them in between scanning planets is tedious -  especially when I have to go running in search of a fuel depot every third system I visit.

In Mass Effect 2, I could upgrade the Normandy's scanners and fuel tanks, to make scanning more efficient and to allow for fewer trips to a fuel depot in between systems.

Are there any upgrades availiable that will improve the Normandy's speed (to run away more better), range (either through higher fuel capacity or more fuel efficiency, to visit more systems before needing to find a relay/fuel), or scanning efficiency/range (In order to send out fewer pings and alert fewer annoying Reapers)?

My char is a level 34 Whitemage and had an average itemlevel of 22. After failed healing Titan in story mode I realised that my heal and my MP are to low to deal with the damage Titan is dealing to my mates.

I checked the market and bought a new staff, belt and shoes. After these changes my itemlevel increased to 25.

Now I equiped the best items I was able to find there but my average itemlevel is still 9 levels lower than my character level...
I read about level 50 endgame chars with an average itemlevel of 80 and I know it's because of the crystal tower raids, etc.

But isn't there a way to get a higher average itemlevel than the character level in midgame?

texts: I play on PS3. I am 1st Prestige Level 80 and I am unable to complete some challenges still (I have done these challenges, but the challenges say I have not completed them). I'm able to look at every challenge. When I go to a challenge, sometimes it will have 2-Different-Locks, 1 of the 2-Locks, or No-Locks under where it tells you how to complete the challenge. The Locks are on random challenges throughout my Barracks except my "Prestige Challenges". There is this other glitch that has been happening to me, I have been promoted to 1st-Prestige_Level_80 about 4 times randomly while in different ranked multiplayer matches. Is this why some of my challenges are locked and I am unable to complete them? I asked one of my friends if some of his challenges are randomly locked too, and he said yes. Can anyone tell me why some of my challenges are like this and/or how to fix this problem?


texts:
In Grid 2, one of the race types is called "Live Race", your engineer informs you that these races can change at any time and you're not provided with a map, which implies that these races are dynamically generated levels.

However, I've found that if I restart one of these races, I always seem, to get an identical track. Is it that these tracks are generated and then reused in the event you restart the race or are these actually not dynamically generated tracks at all?

Are "Live Races" actually dynamically generated levels?


texts: Is my opponents card order the same for me as for him?

texts:
For tactical reasons it would be helpful to know, if my opponent sees his cards in the same positions as I see his card backs. Can I rely on what hearthstone shows me, or is it just animation?

Examples:

It's my opponents turn and he is thinking about playing a card, so I can see a card back highlighted. If he plays that card, is it the same he was looking at? If he doesn't play that card, but changes his mind and plays another card instead, and later in the game I see him playing the card which was highlighted before, is it the same card he was looking at some turns before?
The opponent is thinking and after some time he decides to obviously waste a card in order to give him a card draw. The new card is sorted to the right-most position in his hand (from my view). If he plays that card, is it the same, which he just drew? Or if he plays another card, will the card he drew remain in this position of his hand?

Knowing this would give some insight of his tactics and it would be possible to get some ideas what his deck relies on and which cards he is possibly waiting/expecting/hoping for to draw.

Depending on the answers it might be advisable to change oneselves behaviour when thinking about which card to play and not move the mouse above the card.

texts: Is it faster to build a sentry in-place or build it near the resupply and then haul it?

texts:
I'm trying to understand what is the faster way to get a strong sentry to the front at the beginning of the round (the setup time).

Is it better to build a sentry directly on the front? This has the advantage of it being able to shoot enemies even before it's fully upgraded, but the disadvantage of the engineer having to scavenge metal around the front to build it.

Or perhaps it is better to build a sentry near the resupply, then haul it? This has the advantage of metal being readily available near the resupply, but the disadvantage of having to haul it (slower move speed) the whole distance, and also that it will not be there at all until the engineer arrives. Also, the hauling method incurs the overhead of deployment time twice.

texts:
I am new to FIFA and do not know how to dribble properly during games. I can execute most of the "tricks" in the arena (1-on-1 vs goalkeeper) on a regular basis, so once I know what to do I can pull it of.

But during games it is very complicated to dribble once I select Semi-Pro, as I do not know what to do.

So here are my questions:

Can I dribble on reaction (depending on what the defender does) or do I have to guess the right dribbling?
What tricks are considered best when trying to bypass a defender (he is in front of you)?
What tricks are considered best once I have nearly outrun a defender (both run next to each other)?
Are there any good tutorials on this except the basic "How to execute"?

texts:
While playing Europa Universalis 4 I often find myself starved for ducats to be able to afford buildings. However I can easily afford some fort and a decent army but that about it.

Lately while playing as some insert nation, I often get notification that some random nation "donate" 270 ducat to someone else who is fighting against that nation's rival/hatred whatever nation. The sad part is that often they are poorer or smaller than I am (Lithuania: me and some random Prince in Holy Rome Empire can afford a large generous sum).

Just to be clear. I am not looking for general economy advice as I know how LA affect tax and where to build production boost.

I know sometime ago there was a debate about if taking on loans is worthwhile on paradox forum. However with so many changes since then (state vs territory, estates, etc...). Are loans, take 200 ducat loan build two income boost builds then pay off loan long-term, still an economy viable option?

Is there any good tricks to save ducats?

texts:
After watching some of my replays, I realized that when playing against other Terrans their economies jump significantly larger than mine even though I don't keep unspent resources long (average unspent about 200-300), and I think it's due to the use of Mules.  Is this true?  Do Mules significantly impact the initial economy size of Terrans?  I realize that one Mule can produce about 250 minerals at no impact to supply requirements, and that the rate they pull in minerals is significant.

So, my basic question here is that if I'm not using Mules I really can't hope to compete economically with a Terran who is?

My question is are there enough Spartan Points gained by getting to level 50 to unlock everything? Or will it eventually come down to my preference as to what weapons/upgrades to unlock and use?

texts: Why is my /playsound command not playing even though I am in range of the target selector?

texts:
I'm in the process of building a multiplayer adventure map and wanted to play ambient music when players enter and as long as they remain in certain areas.
However one target selector gave me a lot of trouble over the past two days and I can't figure out  what's wrong.
I made a custom soundpack and tested everything in a singleplayer world on a bit of a smaller scaling, which worked quite nicely.
For knowing how long the sound should play I'm using the scoreboard dummy variable musicRemaining, which is automatically set to 0 if a player joins the world, so they are targetable by the repeating command block playing the sound.
Players whose musicRemaining-score equals 0 and are also standing inside the rectangular prism specified in the repeating command block get to hear a nice little ambient music.
The signal then travels to a chained command block, setting the value of musicRemaining to whatever the length of the track in ticks may be (2640 in this case).
As soon as a player in the area has a musicRemaining count of >= 1, the last second repeating command block starts decreasing this value by 1 per tick. The loop runs perfectly for as long as the player remains. If a player exits the area, a repeating command block stops the music and a chained command block sets the scoreboard value to 0 so the next track can instantly start.
So far, so good, but now comes the problem I encountered in the larger scale version of the construct.
I will try to be as specific as I can be and provide all important information to solve this issue.
The first command block(repeating,always active) plays the sound to a player if the conditions are met. It holds the following command:
/playsound minecraft:ambient.custom.worldspawn music @a[dx=23,dy=10,dz=19,scores={musicRemaining=0}]
The second command block(chain, always active) is connected to the first one and executes right after it:
/scoreboard players set @a[dx=23,dy=10,dz=20,scores={musicRemaining=0}] musicRemaining 2640
The third command block(repeating, always active) runs on its own:
/scoreboard players remove @a[dx=24,dy=10,dz=19,scores={musicRemaining=1..}] musicRemaining 1
Both, the second and the third command block execute their task flawlessly in the selected area, however there seems to be a problem with the target selector in the first block, since it does not always activate when the musicRemaining-condition is met and one stands in the area, unless the player is in a radius of 14 blocks, similar as if the arguments were distance=..14.
Strange enough it still cuts the selection area as expected in any other direction.
So I'm trying to select everything in a cuboid, only get everything inside of a way smaller sphere, but still bound to the restrictions I set in place.

The colored blocks represent the area a signal is received, with the smooth blocks activating as soon as the player hitbox enters, the others only if the players cross 0.5 of the block width.

If I set the first command block to say something like "hi" and let the others go on about their business
it will fire once musicRemaining reaches 0 as it should do.
With the music command it only works in the purple area (tested by manually resetting the scoreboard variable to 0).
Any tips or advise would be really appreciated, I hope it is something trivial which I just overlooked all the time..

All my cut scenes and conversations in the single player HotS end about half a second too soon.

texts: Does Transition have enough beats to unlock the GIFTED achievement?

texts:
In my attempts to master Transition, I recently joined the 1 in 200 club of people with the ADEPT achievement: get a multiplier of 50 in Normal difficulty. Hooray!

The next achievement would be GIFTED: get a multiplier of 100 in Normal difficulty. As seen in this perfect Growth run, this requires hitting 1,566 beats with less than 8 misses. For comparison, Growth, the hardest level, has a grand total of 2,392 beats, and it features many groups of multiple beats that can be hit together, thus bloating that number.

Does Transition have enough beats to unlock GIFTED with it?

texts: Is there a "Canonical" Commander Shepard?

texts:
The Mass Effect Series is based on players taking control of Commander Shepard, and, like most RPGs, the player is given choices and customization options.

In Mass Effect (the first game), players get to pick the commander's first name, gender, pre-service history (Spacer, Colonist, Earthborn), and psych profile (Ruthless, Sole Survivor, War Hero).

Clearly, Shepard can be many things, but I'm wondering what the canonical Shepard is. For instance, we know that in the Canon of Mass Effect 2, if you don't import a save file, the Council was not saved.

Does Commander Shepard likewise have a "Canonical" origin, or are these two options always under direct control of the player - i.e., without a default?

texts: Using the Mayflash GameCube to USB adapter. All buttons work except the C-Stick?

texts:
I got a Mayflash "GC Controller Adapter for PC USB".  I plugged the GC controller into Port 1 on the Mayflash adapter (it's a dual-port) and plugged the adapter into the USB on my computer.  I noticed that programs on my computer weren't really recognizing my controller that was hooked in, so I got a free program called "JoyToKey" that accepts inputs from a controller and sets the input to a certain key on the keyboard.  JoyToKey works perfectly with the controller, but the only command that does not function properly is the C-Stick.  If I program a key, say the letter "U" for example, to Left on the C-Stick, it seems to register all along the top of the C-Stick, but not the left.  In other words, if I push the C-Stick up-left, up, up-right, or right, JoyToKey registers the input, even though I set it to only register when I push the C-Stick left.

I have tried calibrating the controls via the Windows USB Game Controller setup, but it does not work (using Windows 8 64-bit by the way).  What can I do to fix this?  If you need any more details or examples, I will post them, just let me know what you need.  Thanks for your help!

UPDATE:  I don't have a way of truly knowing if the issue is JoyToKey or just Windows, but in the Windows USB controller setup, the C-Stick corresponds to the Z-Axis, and it seems to be working okay.  If I can find out how the Z-Axis is supposed to register then I might be able to fix the problem.

texts:
I love my Shedinja. I have been running it for a good three or four years with the cunning use of Soak and Lightning Rod to keep it alive and trolling. I've lost count of the number of Mega Fire-types it's taken down.

Now I want to try something a little more daring. Setting up Sturdy Shedinja in a Double Battle.

The plan is quite simple: Lead with Smeargle and a Sturdy 'mon, Role Play to copy Sturdy, then switch to Shedinja and Entrainment Sturdy onto it.

Now, here comes the tricky part: countering counters.

Obviously the whole thing falls apart if Smeargle goes down. A Focus Sash is pretty much essential there. Additionally, Fake Out is a major problem, so I plan on having the Sturdy 'mon being Sawk, with Quick Guard to block that threat. Shedinja will need Safety Goggles to survive weather, and I need either Safeguard or Thunder Wave to prevent more harmful status conditions.

Factoring all this in, I have my lineup like so:

Sawk [Sturdy] - Quick Guard
Smeargle @Focus Sash - Role Play, Entrainment
Shedinja @Safety Goggles
Delphox - Safeguard

Remaining threats: Leech Seed, and splash damage from Flame Burst. Also, contact with Rough Skin, Iron Barbs or Rocky Helmet will cause self-destruction.

Now, here is another thing to consider: When you see Smeargle lead, you expect Dark Void, right? It's obvious, surely. So... you act accordingly. Fake Out if you have it (which Quick Guard can block) and try to take out the Smeargle (which Focus Sash will interrupt). Trouble is, Smeargle isn't exactly the fastest thing out there.

That's why I'm here. What can I do to maximize my chances of successfully allowing Smeargle to survive for the two turns it needs to set up Shedinja? What other dangers should I be aware of?

Possible Duplicate:
  What alignment is Action Mode?

So, when I was changing some options in the options menu, I noticed something very weird (for a Bioware game at least). Under Options > Narative, there is an option called "Conversation Mode" and it allows you to toggle Full Decisions vs No Decisions.

And this piqued my curiosity. If you choose No Decisions, how does the game make the decisions. Most decisions are Paragon vs Renegade, so does it choose what your alignment leans towards, or does it just choose a default set of answers chosen by the developers throughout the game?

texts: So I've found that you can examine the route that ships are going to take by holding the right mouse button down. I would have thought I could send my ship straight there, why is he taking a three turn route instead of a straight shot in two turns? Is there anything I can do?

texts: Can I sync Steam ESO files with the Bethesda client so I don't have to download them again?

texts:
I downloaded ESO from a friend's account on Steam to test whether or not it is playable on my computer. However, I intend to buy and download from the official website for various reasons. Is there any way I could avoid re-downloading the game files because they are over 80GB? Or is my only option to uninstall from Steam and re-download all over again?
Edit: clarification, I have it downloaded on Steam from a friends account, and want to play from the Bethesda client without redownloading if possible, not the other way around

texts: Why Euro Truck Simulator 2 not using my laptop's GPU?

texts:
Please see this screenshot of task manager (Windows 10):

As you can see, for any other game (like Counter Strike, Half Life), software like Adobe Photoshop, the GPU engine is shown GPU 1 (that is my NVIDIA 940MX graphics card).

But the cell under GPU engine is empty for Euro Truck Simulator game. It should either be GPU 0 (Intel HD) or GPU 1. But it's empty.

I noticed it suddenly today, when I realized my game is not that smooth even when I have a good laptop. I had a cheap laptop and had similar performance for the same game.

I also checked NVIDIA settings, where GPU is enabled for this game. See this also:

So what is the issue? Can it be fixed?


texts: How do I perform an Uber-Heart Transplant?

texts:
I have recently discovered why the Medic from Team Fortress 2 lost his medical license! Much to the Heavy's dismay, he was incapable of performing even the simplest of heart transplants.

As you can see, I was attempting to shatter the rib cage using a bat. It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done. I managed to successfully cut free each lung, the stomach, intestines, and yes, eventually the heart.

Unfortunately, I had a small accident. Unfortunately for the Heavy, I mean. I removed his heart, and upon attempting to find the replacement heart, I dropped his on the floor. I would've put his new heart in and left it at that, but I couldn't find it! I thought I looked everywhere.

How do I replace this poor Heavy's sandvich heart?

Do they have a purpose other than adding additional realism to the game?

Are they worth more or less than adults?


texts: I understand that Cache is available in the hub and it needs to be emptied once in a while for free credits (à la Saints Row: The Third and the Assassin's Creed series), but how does it work? What do the markings on the Cache checkout mean and how do the total earnings vary? How many extra credits per Cache cash out do I earn for completing other activities? What can I do to increase the total yield of my Cache outside of activities? If I don't empty the Cache when it's full, do I lose any additional benefits I would have earned over that time? How often does it fill up?


texts: Are the glitches from the original pokemon generation 1 in the 3ds versions?

texts:
I'm thinking about buying the generation 1 games on the 3ds, but if they patched the glitches from the original game I'm not going to.

To be more specific, I'm wondering if the experience overflow glitch and the mew glitch still work. Thanks!
