texts: Why do high-level players flick through control groups constantly?

texts:
When watching live-streams from high-level players I noticed they tend to constantly flick through control groups very fast. I watched a stream of a player switching between drone, overlord, hatch very quickly from the very beginning of the game.

That made me wonder why he would do such a thing? I sometimes do some switching between control groups myself, but that's mainly to check status of things, eg. is that chrono-boost ready?, zealot done yet?, time to inject larva? etc. But constantly checking a drone or overlord just doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

Am I missing something important here?

texts: Where is the build instantly option for Builder Pro on xbox one?

texts:
In Fortnite Battle Royale, all of the of the good console players use the Builder Pro settings or something similar. All of these players build very quickly, and I have heard them mention the Build Instantly setting for Builder Pro. This setting makes it so that once you go into build mode, and change to your selected building type (Stairs, Ramps etc...) it builds it automatically. I have looked for this setting, and I can't seem to find it. Does anybody know where to find this setting?

texts:
The problem is simple yet I have done a quick google search and no one else seems to be having this issue. I am playing on XBox 1 and when attempting to join servers, the screen reverts back to the server menu.

For example, when I attempt to directly join a server, the game does not get past the "loading game" screen. Instead, after a moment or two on that screen, it reverts back to the server browser screen. There is no error message and it does not seem to be a network issue on my end.

It does not work through quickplay as well.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?


texts: How can I finish marriage ceremony in Skyrim (bug workaround)?

texts:
I have the same problem as many others have reported.  When I attend the marriage ceremony, everything goes alright until my turn to answer to Maramal with the option "Yes, I do". After that, Maramal is still speaking but my potential wife is already leaving the temple and ceremony. So... the problem is that I didn't obtain a wedding ring, which I believe is essential to be "married".  Also, if I speak to my potential spouse quickly after Maramal's speech while still in the temple, I have no option in conversation for asking her "Where we are going to live?" She just leaves the ceremony and returns to her place.

So something is broken that prevents me from getting "married" and completing the marriage quest.  I also note that the priests in the temple of Mara are still sitting at their chairs, waiting to finish the ceremony - which causes me to further suspect a glitch. Any suggestions?

texts: Do attack speed debuffs affect champions with auto-attack resets and auto-attack cancel spells?

texts:
This question is highly focused on auto-attack based attack damage caster champions with a spell that can reset their auto-attack or cancel their attack animation in such a way as to allow them to deal their damage faster. I am interested in learning if attack speed debuff abilities/items help in anyway to limit this burst in terms of execution not damage.

So I will explain my question further with an example.

You are in a Riven vs Nasus lane you're Nasus. Nasus W(wither) is an attack speed/movement slow. Riven can Q(broken wings), AA(auto-attack), using that she can deal a large amount of damage in a short period of time by breaking her attack animation with her Q.
Now if you were to use your wither you would be able to easily escape however if you can not(she flash W(ki burst) on you) does your W affect her or will her attack timer reset on Q still allow her to AA thrice while she combos with her Q.

To conclude I simply want to know if attack speed debuffs helps in reducing a champions burst potential by limiting the amount of time it takes for them to deal their damage while you attempt to escape or beat them.

The only problem is, I can't find any... I've even used this tool which is supposedly supposed to show ships, however every station that said it had a Dolphin (I've checked 4) didn't have it at the time.

texts: What are the stats for the MegaTower segments?

texts:
Cities of Tomorrow introduced MegaTowers, which have many different segments which can be built.

So far I know these:

LW Residential: 800 workers, 400 shoppers and 200 students.
  800 cost per hour, 1200 rent per hour
T1 Office: 1200 LW, 400 MW and 100 HW workers.
  900 cost per hour, 1900 rent per hour.
  (no pollution, no freight, immune to techpoints)

I'm mainly interested in residential agent counts, goods counts, worker counts, cost and max rent per hour, and power consumption (in 10's of power units).  My theory is that these buildings pay less in rent and take more in power than equivalent original RCI would pay in tax.

Hoping someone might be able to me with this.

I had some internet trouble, but after one bout, steam synchronization says it couldn't sync my files and to keep playing. So I select to keep playing, and it's fine. Until today, when I played and all of a sudden I was back to prestige 0 level 1 in the middle of the game. And no matter how many times I restart, it hasn't come back.

I've sunk a fair bit of time into this game, so I'd like to know if I can get my score back.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!

Is there a reason why Madison, in her first sequence in Heavy Rain, has a nightmare about being attacked by four men breaking into her apartment? I don't remember it ever getting explained as the game goes on.

Anyone have any idea as to why she has this nightmare and why it was never mentioned again?

texts: Can a Random Property on Weapons Spawn more than one Bonus?

texts:
Lets take for example this Sever Legendary Sword

1-Hand Legendary Sword 323.4–513.8 Damage Per Second

(165-251)–(297-483) Damage

1.40 Attacks per Second

+87-173 Minimum Damage

+116-231 Maximum Damage

+130-149 Vitality

+5-12% Damage to Demons

Critical Hit Chance Increased by 1.0%

1.0-2.6% Chance to Stun on Hit

+1 Random Magic Properties

Then, we have this roll here :

Since the cap of vitality on this weapon is 149, and it has no strength spawn, i can assume that the "random property" rolled "strength".

That being said, where the others +50 vitality or so came from ?

Is this possible ?

Thanks

texts: When comparing weapons or armor, what should I look at?

texts:
I am more of a serious gamer than a hardcore Diablo III player. This is nice in that the game is very accessible to all levels of gamers from casual to hardcore. However, I find some of the statistics in the game, especially those around armor and weapons, a little daunting. Having a big armor number is nice but it doesn't seem to take into account the other affects an item may have.

When I am comparing two weapons or two pieces of armor, what are the very basic stats I should be looking at to see how they differ from one another to properly evaluate them? I am just looking for 2-3 things that I can take a quick look at and be able to determine a final yea/nay on if the items helps or not. I realize this will properly differ depending on class or how you want to play a character but I am looking for the baseline stats that may apply across all options.

texts:
I play happy wars once in a while, and when I do, I go on a spree. During that spree, I will often buy and use a premium membership, but am no longer convinced it is worthit.

During normal play, there is no restrictions, or anything else, but as per advertising, you get not-so-hot rewards, and less in-game currency unless you use a premium membership pass.

Now my dillema is that I played 24 hours straight without using a premium membership pass. I got 7 premium items, and lost count at 50 non-premium items.

Using the premium membership pass for 24 hours straight, 24 hours of sleeping later, I got 3 premium items, and lost count at about 70 regular items.

I also seemed much less powerful in-game using the premium membership pass, and because of this, I came out even, or possibly slightly behind on happy stars and EXP for items then when not using a premium pass.

This makes me conclude that it is counter-productive using a premium member pass, however, that opinion is largely biased. I also seem to find it very convienient for ToyLogic that I can't find any hard data on this, on the wiki, or anywhere on the web.

Is there any true hard data, preferably community proven on this issue?

Many thanks!


texts:
In XCOM configuration files, distances are expressed in some obscure units, that do not translate to grid cells easily.

Example values:

unit vision radius: 27
most weapons range: 27
sniper rifle range: 100
soldier (and most enemies) run distance: 12
thin man run distance: 15
cryssalid run distance: 20

A soldier definitely does not run 12 grid cells straight.

So, what are distance units in grid cells, and how distances are calculated diagonally?

I'm currently unable to make any progress in the "I fought the law" mission in Cyberpunk. I've done everything this part of the mission has to offer. I defeated all the enemies in the building, went down into the Red Queen's Race, initiated the braindance sequence in one of the rooms, and had River come down and save me. I left the area and it gave me a new mission, "Find a way into the Red Queen's Race". I assumed it was just a bug and that I would eventually proceed with this story branch, but after a day of doing side-missions and gigs, I'm still softlocked and unable to finish the mission.
Here's what the bug looks like:

I tried closing and reopening the doors, going down into the Red Queen's Race to see if I had the option to do the braindance sequence again (no luck), skipping time, calling/texting River, nothing worked.

texts: How much max mana pool size do you get by wave 100 in Gemcraft Labyrinth?

texts:
I am trying to get high scores in Gemcraft. So I am trying to apply some of the techniques explained here and here. I am using only Summoning Giants and some other modifiers. The base gem I am using is a Lime*2+Yellow+Orange. I am getting stuck around wave 130-140 because I can hardly upgrade the killer gem, mostly because my max mana pool size is not high enough.

So, how much max mana pool size do you get by wave 100 in Gemcraft Labyrinth?

Thanks!

texts: What's the easiest way to kill a Crusher in Radiant Defense?

texts:
I'm on the final wave of the Level 11: Jaws and I keep getting pwned by the Crusher. I killed him once already in the last level, but that required converting pretty much every weapon into a Seraphim missile launcher -- a strategy that doesn't work as well when I have to also defend against 20 Tauruss.

I can't imagine any way of killing it without the bonus packs either.

What weapons excel against the Crusher, and is there a strategy (beyond the obvious) with regards to killing it?

I also tried totally erasing the Sims2 directory in my Documents and Settings folder (thus forcing the program to recreate the neighbors from scratch) but I still have the same problem.

However, this doesn't seem to be a common problem around the Internet. Is this bug known? Do you know how to solve it?

texts: How to turn off a TE Redstone Energy Cell if there is no load?

texts:
A Redstone Energy Cell (from Thermal Expansion) continuously emits energy according to the rate set in its GUI as long as it contains MJ.  If the Buildcraft machines connected to the energy network aren't doing anything, eventually the first conductive pipe connected to the Cell will explode. By comparison, an IndustrialCraft MFE stops emitting EU until a machine connected to it needs EU, and this makes it very easy to use without problems. I'd like to set up my BC power network to be as well-behaved as my IC power network.

I was able to get an Autarchic Gate to toggle the cell on/off using the 'Inventory is Full' setting when beside a machine, but this would require a Gate beside every machine connected to the power network.  I would rather use a single gate to turn the cell on or off if any machine connected to the cable is working, like a 'Load Connected' setting for the gate. How can I do that?

texts: If you use cheats is it impossible to beat Sephiroth in the final fight?

texts:
When I was a wee lad I use to love playing Final Fantasy 7. Well, at some point I decided to use some cheat codes the first time playing it through. When I got to the final battle it was absolutely impossible to win. I think I played it for like 30 minutes in this one battle until I died. I tried this numerous times, also.

Then I started over with a fresh game and didn't use any cheat codes. I won the final battle I think on the second trial.

So is the final battle actually impossible when using cheat codes or was it just chance that I beat it when I didn't use cheat codes?

texts: Can I stop Skyrim slowing down after 5 minutes?

texts:
My laptop's about a year old, but I bought it at quite a high spec then so it's still fine. When I first ran Skyrim, it chose the 'high' graphics setting. At first, the game plays very smoothly, however after a few minutes it starts to slow down, and after about 5 minutes or so the game is unplayable (<5 fps).

Quitting Skyrim completely and reloading it seems to solve the problem, but only for another 5 minutes of play. I've tried turning down the graphics options to their lowest setting, but this doesn't seem to help. Is there a way to diagnose what the problem is, and fix it?

Fast foward to now - I have E-DE and Boone as my companions and I still for some reason have Waking Clouds perk, the only thing wrong is that when I pull up World Map on the Pip-boy it shows her marker there but whenever I go to it she's not there and plus when I go TFC through console she's nowhere to be found. What do I do?

texts: Is there a way to make Auto-Pickup work with lockers/containers?

texts:
I've been getting sick of having to constantly press "E" to pickup items/loot in Borderlands 2 and then I found out about "Auto-Pickup". The big downside that I've heard about is the inability for "Auto-Pickup" to get items from crates.

  The auto pickup system specifically only picks up ammunition and money. - Kalina

  All items from chests and containers can only be manually picked up. - ChrisHateZ

So my question is: Is there anyway for me to be able to pickup items from lockers/containers/etc. automatically?

It isn't that big of a deal, but when there are a lot of lockers/containers/etc. around it gets to be a little annoying. Also I am aware of this question, but I think my question is unique enough to justify it.

What's wrong? Why I can't connect my trade hubs to the trade network?

I've tried to demolish those 2 starports and build them again... - did not help. After they were built they are not connected to the trade network and I can't connect them by right-clicking.

In fact, Meskeban is connected to Taramba, and Taramba connected to Sidyr, but Sidyr has no connection either.

texts: Counter jungling, how to do it, is it worth it?

texts:
Most teams on ranked games involve a jungler. It gives the team three advantages over non jungling teams:

More team experience - a solo laner
and a jungler will be a higher
average level than two players in a
single lane.
More team gold - same as experience,
the solo laner can last hit more
minions and if your jungler is
killing dragon then the benefits can
be quite large.
Ganking potential - freedom to gank
any lane, forces players to be more
defensive, makes teams spend more
money on wards.

In my opinion, if the enemy has a jungler, a great idea is to pick an anti jungler. Someone with steal, shaco, eve are ideal. This can be even more effective than having a jungler on your team too because:

Killing the enemy
jungler usually means you can pick
your enemy off when they are
extremely vulnerable - easy first
blood
Stealing a buff early can totally
ruin a junglers pace, giving your
whole team the advantage

The downsides are:

You are behind enemy lines, a
predictable anti jungle/first blood
attempt will have the exact opposite
effect of what you had hoped for.
It the jungler is a higher level
than you, you are going to have a
hard time countering them.
You will probably struggle in lane
if you get killed in the enemy
jungle, putting you at a huge
disadvantage.

Now the questions I want to know are:

Is it really worth the risk?
What are the best characters and set ups
to be using for counter jungling?
What are the best methods of
countering an enemy jungler?

texts: Silent Hill: final boss with almost no ammo

texts:
So, I've been playing Silent Hill for the last two days and I finally got to the final boss, Samael (the one that attacks you with the blue lighting).

Somehow I managed to get there with just a few shotgun bullets and about 10 pistol bullets. I also have some rifle ammo but don't have the rifle itself. I can skip the boss attacks forever by running in circles, but I just don't have enough ammo to kill it.

I know about that trick that if you waste all the ammo just before you get to the boss, the game just skips the battle to the final cutscene. But the problem is that I have that extra rifle ammo but not the rifle, so I can't waste the ammo. Damn!

Is there any other trick to beat Samael when you have almost no ammo? Thanks!

Okay,

This may have been answered already, but I need to know the answer before I end up crying in a ball of tears.

It showed me streetpassing with my sister for the game from 11/14/13 - 01/22/14. After that, I haven't recieved anymore passes (and the Nintendogs can go up to 10, and I've only done 6.)

texts: How could I troubleshoot my minecraft connection to servers?

texts:
Recently I've tried joining a friend's minecraft server, although it worked fine for the first few days, I suddenly stopped being able to connect properly, it lets me into the server but around 20 seconds later I get kicked with the reason java.io.IOException: Existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This is constant and doesn't seem to be affected by player presence, a VPN/no VPN, a whole different client, a clean Minecraft re-install, nothing has worked in fixing it, it working every few hundred attempts seems completely random.
This is not the first time I've had an issue with connecting to a small server, I've had some friends create servers in the past and it happened on one of them, however not on the others.
Variables I've collected:

It has occured when:

Server is using Waterfall, Paper or Spigot.
Server is hosted in different regions.
I have attempted all of the above fixes.
First joining the server.
Being on the server for a few days.
Using Essentials. (This is my best guess as to the cause, I feel like it wasn't happening before Essentials was added to the current server)

It hasn't occured locally.

Pinging the server in a cmd works and it pings and replies with no losses (Tried up to -n 150).
The only weird thing about my connection is that I am relying on a TP-Link adapter to bring WiFi to my room and an Ethernet cable connected to it and my computer.

The wiki says that objects and monsters will fall through, and I've seen pools form in other rooms through open doorways (even quite far away from the fountain.

texts: How do you keep Materia when using Chapter Select? What carriers over when swapping chapters?

texts:
I've read conflicting sites about how and when Materia is kept while using Chapter Select.
A real life example:
I'm on chapter chapter 6 on a hard play through and leveled up several green Materia. I completed chapter 6 and started chapter 7 then swapped to chapter 14 so I could unlock  Battle Intel Report 18 and get MP Absorb.
I obtained the MP Absorb materia and used chapter select to swap back to chapter 7, but MP Absorb wasn't available.
Question
When is Materia (and items, exp, levels, etc) actually "kept"? I assume its only officially registered as "kept" when you complete a chapter. Is that correct? Does the same apply to exp, levels, and items?
Disclaimer: I don't play a lot of "modern" games with new game plus, etc, so I might not be down with the typical flow

Currently, it's starting to get annoying to open my password manager, enter my master password, then copy my password manually to the The Old Republic client. Is there a way for the client to remember my password? Something like a hidden startup flag.


texts: Are the Empire ships at an inherent disadvantage due to lack of shields?

texts: I noticed the Empire side doesn't have a shield slot for most ships, while the Rebel side does. The Empire ships have higher base hulls for the ships that don't have shield slots, but is it enough to offset the advantage of the shields?


texts: How do I switch to a different Starter Deck?

texts: So, I've started playing with the Green-Blue deck, but I'd like to get the Blue-White one for contrast. How do I unlock that deck in the deckbuilder?


texts: How does Dota 2 Spell Damage calculation work?

texts:
What I believe it is:

Magic Resistance = 1 - (1 - [Hero Base Magic Resistance]) * (1 - [Strength * 0.0008]) * (1 - [Any Magic Reduction Item/Ability 1]) * (1 - [Any Magic Reduction Item/Ability 2]) ... * (1 - [Any Magic Reduction Item/Ability 1 N]) * (1 + [Magic Increasing Item/Ability 1]) * (1 + [Magic Increasing Item/Ability 2]) ... * (1 + [Magic Increasing Item/Ability N])

Spell Amplification = (1 + [Intelligence * 0.0007] + [Magic Increasing Item/Ability 1] + [Magic Increasing Item/Ability 2] ... + [Magic Increasing Item/Ability N])

Damage taken in HP = Spell Damage * Spell Amplification * (1 - Magic Resistance)


texts: Problems with putting a saddle on a skeleton horse

texts:
I had a skeleton horse trap occur in my world and killed off the other skeletons and horses. I tried to tame the skeleton horse and once I get on it, it does respond to my controls but it seems super slow and unlike any other horse I've ridden in the game. I also can't open the "horse" inventory and equip a saddle. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Note: I'm using the free education edition since I'm still considering buying the game. (It's free with a school account)

texts: Why does the robot tell me to get a helmet?

texts:
In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword in the Lanayru Mine, one of the LD-301 robots tells me "So you're looking for work? Well come back when you have a helmet."

What does this mean? I'm almost at the end of the game (I have completed all the Silent Realms and have the best shield) and have no helmet. Is it a joke? If not, where can I get the helmet?


texts:
Is there a way to configure Skyrim to be like Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, where it makes monster difficulty more realistic?

That Oblivion mod did so mainly by removing monster level scaling with player level. Monsters were given a static difficulty based on their type and some other factors. For example, all wolves were easier than all trolls. I enjoyed the challenge of being aware of the type of enemies I was facing and needing to test whether they were too strong. In the built-in system, it's generally possible to kill almost anything starting at early levels, and there is no sense of excitement at being able to go somewhere that had previously been restricted.


texts:
Each difficulty level of Diablo 2 has it's own secret cow level associated with it.

When I kill the Cow King I get locked out of the secret cow level for that difficulty level forever.

How can I reliably farm the area without a chance of locking myself out?  How does this strategy need to be adjusted for battle.net?


texts: Do I get Ore if I upgrade the Dig Site in my Garrison and how much?

texts:
The Tooltip of the plan for the dig site says:

  The Mine was once abandoned, but there are still underground riches
  ready to be discovered.

  Level 1: Allows players to mine Draenic Stone from mineral nodes
  in Draenor. Draenic Stone can be converted to work orders for Draenor
  minerals. 7 Work Orders
  Level 2: Allows followers with the Mining
  trait to work here, granting a unique bonus (adds mining carts). Also
  opens a new mineshaft, granting access to additional mining nodes. 14
  Work Orders
  Level 3: A final mineshaft allows access to rich
  mining nodes. In addition, garrison guards will patrol your mine,
  keeping it clear of hostile Goren. 21 Work Orders.

It does not say what I actually get. Do I get resources or ore? If I get Ore, how much per day? What are the exact benefits?

I am Engineer so the Ore would be welcome, but I cannot harvest any ore since I am Jeweler with my second profession on my main character.


texts: In FarCry 3 is there an easier way of finding your kills than stumbling upon the body?

texts:
I often lose my kills in the grass and brush, even after tagging them with the camera or by aiming at them.  Is there any better way of finding them than having to search?

Even with the flashing texture, I often I can't see it until I'm right on top of the corpse.


texts: How to destroy AI ships without weapons?

texts: I'm using the Basilisk, which has a teleporter and boarding drone, but no weapons. How can I manage AI (crew-less) ships? So far I've been teleporting my crew there and back, slowly chipping away their hull by destroying newly-repaired systems, until they only have one hull point left, at which point I activate a boarding drone and hope that it doesn't hit an empty room. If it does, I just jump away. Is there a better strategy?


texts: How can I tell if it's day or night when I can't see the sun?

texts:
In Dragon Quest XI, after

  the World Tree falls down from the sky, the sun no longer shines. It's always dark, however the following events prove there is still a day/night cycle:

I can still camp/rest until Dawn
There is still a "change to day/night" clip

  The monsters are also the same in both cases, so can't be used as indication.

How can I tell if it's day or night?


texts: How can I scoop up my plundered space-booty?

texts:
I've decided that the space pirate life is for me. I have a decent ship (Asp Explorer) and have equipped all the necessary stuff I need to chase targets through space (radar mapper and hyperspace cloud analyzer) plus some decent weaponary.

I can blast my targets out of space easily, their loot then goes flying but I just can't pick it up. I have a fuel scoop (converted to a cargo scoop) but can't figure out how to activate it. The cargo goes flying off into space so I chase after it - but it's moving at one speed, I'm moving at another in different directions and by the time I catch up with it I just crash into it and destroy myself. There's no prompt to 'trigger cargo scoop' as far as I can tell, I just approach it and then explode.

What am I doing wrong?

Am I missing a vital piece of equipment needed to scoop this stuff up? Can only certain type of products be scooped? Is it just my bad maneuvering that's to blame?

Frontier:First Encounters makes reference to a tractor beam, but I only have Elite 2: Frontier and don't think this attachment is available. If it were that'd be ideal, but no space ports seem to stock it so I guess it's not available in this game.


texts: Which champions can roam effectively in League of Legends?

texts:
I just read a post on Elementz's blog that explained how meta game has changed in League Of Legends and how important is today the role of roamer.

I studied some videos of Alistar roaming and trained to fullfill this role quite successfully in some ranked games. But are there any alternatives to Alistar? Which characteristics should have been evaluated before choosing a champion for this role?


texts: Career mode Sponsorship explanation for FIFA 13

texts:
I'm really enjoying FIFA 13 Career mode, but am confused by how the sponsorship work.

Could somebody help clarify?

I think I figured out most of it but...

Funding per game: this seems clear
Loyalty bonus: do I get this if I choose again the same sponsor from previous year? What if I don't remember who it was?
League Bonus: is this for WINNING the league?
Domestic Cup Bonus: I guess this is for winning the domestic cup?
International Cup Bonus: same as above
Extra Bonus: as described

I even downloaded the manual but there's nothing in it!


texts: Can I Escape Est Taiyar without portals?

texts:
I've completed Redanias Most Wanted and returned to Est Taiyar to continue the Cats Gear quest.
Through a combination of skill and bad luck I managed to make my way to the lower levels without the use of portals. I foolishly manually saved my game at this point as I thought it was quite the achievement to get that far.
After exploring a bit I have realised I have missed where I need to be for the Cat Silver Sword and I now seemed to be trapped without portals and my next most recent save is two (real time) days ago and the auto saves are all after the most recent manual save.
Is there anyway to reactivate the portals? Can I escape without them? Is the Gerald in that timeline now stuck in those ruins forever?


texts: Does the effect that reduces your minimum health stack?

texts:
Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact wording of the effect in game. It's something along the lines of "Don't die until health reaches:".

I assume the way this works is that your health can drop below 0, and instead of dying at 0, you die at the number the item mentions.

However, I have two items, each of which have this attribute with a value of -40. If I equip both at the same time, does that mean I won't die until my health reaches -80? Or is it just an effect that you either have or don't, and it's still -40 even with both equipped?

I couldn't find this stat on my character screen, so I wasn't sure if it stacked, and it's not exactly the kind of thing I want to science myself.


texts:
I am playing Bringing Down the Sky DLC for Mass Effect a second time. In this DLC we have to locate missing engineers.

I enabled the transmission tower, showed me the locations of all three survey stations on my map.

There is a problem with Survey Station 1. The engineer C. Hymes, I found her body, played the logs on how she died. In my Journal it registers as I found her body. This was the penultimate body I found. But in my journal it does not go grey with a check mark next to it.

Because of this it still shows "One Still Missing Engineer". And because of this I can not hand it over for completion.

Did I get massively glitched? I have installed both ME1 patches. My first playthrough I was able to complete it like normal. This is the plus game I started.

Is this glitch going to affect my ME2 playthrough? Is there anything I can do to fix this and turn the quest back in to the quest giver?


texts: Can I transfer a GTA online character from one Xbox live account to another?

texts: How can I transfer a GTA online character from one Xbox live account to another? I have been playing on my dads Xbox live for the past year. I have recently gotten my own Xbox live account but I don't want to loose my GTA online character. Is there a way for me to transfer the data?


texts: The bonus artifacts don't show up in Tunnels and Troglodytes (Liberation campaign)

texts:
I'm playing through Heroes 3's campaigns and on the previous scenario I had 2 pieces of Charm of Mana and a Pendant of Life on my main hero at the end. I explored the map, acquired all items but I was not able to get past a border guard at the bottom right corner (he wanted The Speculum).

The artifacts mentioned above however are rewards beyond previous border guards so I don't get it. Why don't they appear when I progress onto the next scenario? And where can I find the Speculum?


texts: Where can I get fish for my Ocelot in a superflat world?

texts:
I have finally tamed a ocelot! The only problem is that I have no more fish!

Do I really need to feed an ocelot? It is only a baby. If I do need to feed it, where can I find an ocean in a superflat world?


texts: How do you use a docking computer on the Xbox One (not PC) version of Elite Dangerous?

texts:
On the Xbox One version of Elite Dangerous how do you activate a docking computer?

After playing the training missions and trading for a few hours I've been manually docking every time - I didn't even realise that it was possibly to use one.

How do I enable this on Xbox One using the default or classic control scheme?


texts: Differences between Darkest Dungeon on PC vs Nintendo Switch

texts:
What are the significant differences between Darkest Dungeon's PC version and switch version?

Differences considered significant:

Game mechanic differences
Addition/removal of game content
Addition/removal of game lore

Differences NOT considered significant are those that are done to support the new console, such as:

Resolutions supported
UI for settings
Controls supported


texts:
I've been neglecting to level Wakka and Tidus is only slightly better. Now I'm hacking through the Monster Arena and SURPRISE Shinryu is an underwater battle.

I can't seem to find any advice on dealing with Shinryu at a low level. Just tons of advice to level up my characters. I'm working on that now, but I was hoping that someone had some hints on how to deal with Shinryu without maxing Strength, Agility, Magic Defense, and Evasion, cause that's a long way off for me.


texts:
Over half of Undertale's PS4 trophies ask the player to donate a specific amount of money to a Dog Shrine.

I don't remember there being any Dog Shrine when I played the game on PC.

What is the Dog Shrine? Where can I find it?


texts: What's an easy way to lure enemies in MGS V: Ground Zeroes?

texts:
I used to play Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker in which it is possible to tap/scratch the cover you are behind. This was a fast and easy way to attract an enemy's attention to grab them as soon as they reach the cover.

Does Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes have anything like this? I couldn't find anything that allowed me to "tap" cover like in Peacewalker, but maybe I just missed it.

If this isn't possible in the game, what are alternatives to easily lure enemies towards me?

It is possible to have enemies call others towards them, but for that I would first need an enemy which is a bit tricky and pretty much what I'm trying to achieve in the first place.

I could also throw an empty magazine on the ground, but that requires me to first switch equipment and aim which takes time and might get me spotted.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!


texts: Can I use an Elecom game controller with Batman: Arkham City?

texts:
I am playing Batman: Arkham City on a Windows 7 PC, purchased using Steam. The keyboard controls seemed less than ideal so I thought I'd bite the bullet and get a USB game controller.

At the store, they looked to be all the same, in that there was no indication that one brand or another would only work with certain games or anything like that. They all promoted plug and play capability and Windows 7 support.

I selected an Elecom wireless game controller, because wireless seems like a nice idea.

However, now that I'm in front of my computer, and I've installed the drivers for the controller from the supplied CD, Batman: Arkham City seems not to acknowledge it.

I now realize that the controls section in the game settings look fairly specific to a an Xbox controller.

So... did I just waste thirty bucks? Or can I get Batman: Arkham City to work with my new game controller?


texts: When I press F3 something covers the coordinates

texts: Whenever I press F3 I see a long line of words that are covering the coordinates. I've tried changing it but nothing will work.


texts: Is it feasible to solo farm the Uber bosses?

texts:
I'm getting ready to build my Infernal Machines, and I'm trying to decide if I should start looking for groups to run with, or if I can handle the fights solo.

Given how time-intesive it is to obtain sufficient keys to build a sufficient number of Infernal Machines, I'd like to complete the Uber boss fights on a higher MP level.

It seems like most of the strategies I see assume you are in a group, so you can split the bosses.  Is that required, or are other tactics for a solo player viable?

I can comfortably farm MP4 with my MF gear, and could probably handle MP6 or even higher.  Is it realistic to expect to be able to solo farm Uber bosses at, or slightly below, the MP level I am comfortable farming?

If class is a determining factor, I play a Witch Doctor.


texts: I am a level 11 warrior build in Skyrim and I was wondering what armor type I should use... I started out using light armor because I have a shield and I didn't want to be weighed down by heavy armor, but now I know that you can eventually make each armor weigh 0. I was thinking that maybe I should start using heavy armor now and that it would be a better choice in the long run. my light armor is 15 levels higher than my heavy armor now, but I only spent one point in it.


texts: What are these black wall objects in Half Life 2?

texts:
I'm replaying Half-Life 2 and I'm puzzled about these objects:

What are these? What is their function? They sometimes move and crash into walls. It seems they are some kind of containment measure from the Combine's part but I did not find any explanation so far.


texts:
I installed Kerbal Space Program V1.22 and downloaded the Mod Kerbal Construction Time for more realism.

texts: Can you change the skill auto battle uses?

texts:
Is it possible to change the abilities that my characters use during auto battle?

For instance, Bell only use Firebolt but it would be better for him to use Rapid Slash.


texts: Can a weapon have a negative Strength requirement through upgrades?

texts: Through the use of Upgrade Scrolls, is it possible to reach a negative strength requirement? Assuming there are enough Upgrade Scrolls in the game and you don't die due to your lack of quality armour or weapon.


texts: What are the mechanics behind the 1.14.4 AFK fishing farm?

texts:
I want to know how the AFK fish farm works.

I know that the hopper carries the fished item into the chest, and that the trapdoor is opened by the pressure plate.

But, I would like to know how the fish farm reels in the fishing rod at the right time.

I'm just trying to get better at redstone, and I thought this was important to know.

Anyway, if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!


texts: Should I always equip a weapon in my free hand, even if it is a weak one?

texts:
This is a question I can't seem to find in any of the FAQs or explanations of the game.

Is it beneficial to have a weapon in your free hand? For instance, I have a pretty sweet wand, I enchanted it like 10 times, got really lucky and I've got 2 pretty sweet gems in it. So, for where I am in the game, this thing is kicking ass. But it's a one handed weapon, I have another hand free. My other one handed weapons are not as good; lesser wands or pistols, with DPS much lower and no good effects.

So my question is, is it still better to put SOMETHING into the other hand, or leave it empty? If the other hand is empty, will the good wand fire twice as often as if I had 2 weapons? Would be overall DPS be the average of the two, or the sum?

Also, does Dual-Wield affect this decision?


texts:
Arx Fatalis is my first and favorite game and there are a lot of secrets and one of its is a set of big doors around a tavern.

texts: How many mcpe days does it take to make mossy stone?

texts: I know how to make mossy stone in mcpe. I also know it takes a very long time. But I have waited for weeks (real life) and nothing. How many mcpe days does it take?


texts: I have read here there are other upgrades besides teleportation. Could you list all the upgrades?


texts:
I'm talking mostly about late wave situations on endless here. I usually start to have problems with this combination around wave 40 or so (casual difficulty, but playing solo).

I've finally figured out how to handle some of the waves that have given me problems in the past - Walker/Tank, Walker/Soaker. To handle Walkers I usually get them to bunch up by walking backwards in front of them and alternating slows and grenades. With a couple of mortar towers that works well. If there are Chargers or Runners with them then the tactic works for those groups as well. Since the tactic for Tanks and Soakers is to keep them separated so that Lightning/Gatling/Scatter Laser towers hit all of them it throws things off, but I've found that if I just let the walkers get through the first turn or two of my maze before clumping them then they have enough of a lead on the slow moving Tanks or Soakers that they don't start to get bunched with them and I can finish off those guys at the end.

The Big Walkers move faster than the Walkers though, so I can't use that tactic. Any suggestions?

In typing this I'm thinking that I might be able to concentrate on the Big Walkers and then clump the Walkers after the Big Walkers are mostly dead, but I don't know if I'd be left with enough time to finish off the Walkers. Has anyone tried that tactic?

Thanks!


texts: How do I load a previous non-dedicated multiplayer session in ARK?

texts: ARK has a non-dedicated multiplayer session, which allows you to host a server and play at the same time, along with a friend. When you start one of these sessions, and then 'quit', it never asks you to save. After quitting, how do you restore the non-dedicated multiplayer session again, with the progress you made during the previous session? I can't find a load button or anything like that. I am asking specifically for the Windows platform.


texts: Will repeatedly looting villages bankrupt the AI players' economy?

texts:
I've put together a fast, brutal party of slavers, and we love to burn villages.  My dream is to undermine the economy of Rhodoks so badly that the other kingdoms devour their lands.

However, I'm not certain that such plunder actually affects the AI players.  Does anyone know?  I'm suspicious because of things like the AI magically spawning new soldiers into a garrison, without any lord recruiting them, training them, or moving them in.  I assume that the AI uses many shortcuts.  Since I've never seen an AI lord enter a village (and collect his taxes), it makes me wonder if that economy matters at all.


texts: I've seen that you can have enchanted books in Minecraft with enchantments such as Sharpness and Knockback... but is there any point or advantage to beating someone to death with a book instead of, say, a sword?


texts: I've just started playing Watch_Dogs, and have accumulated some low-level weapons that I'd like to sell, however I've been to the Pawn Shop and Gun Dealer, and neither have the option to SELL, only BUY!  So I'm wondering if selling weapons is even possible?


texts: The QR codes in ‘Need for Speed: Rivals’

texts:
There are tons of QR codes on cars, locations, videos, and elsewhere in the world of Need for Speed: Rivals. The QR codes are always in twisted perspectives that no app on my devices can scan them.

Have anyone else had any luck in scanning these codes? Where do they lead? What do they do?


texts: How to rotate blocks while giving a set command?

texts:
I have two wooden blocks, one facing up and one facing the side as you can see in the image, I do not want the block to be vertical, I want it to be horizontal when I give the command //set <block>

Does the //set <block> command have more than one argument to do this? Or is there another command to rotate an already placed block?

The command I am using is this:
//set 17:1

The server version is 1.5.2, so the WorldEdit plugin version is
5.5.6


texts: How can I let people join my minecraft server from diffrent versions?

I've seen multiple servers where you can connect from any (recent) major version. (Example, 1.9, 1.8 OR 1.7) And they all seem to be able to do it. Alas, a simple google search did not fix the problem. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

(PS: The Minecraft server is running on the latest Spigot for 1.10 as of 6/27/16)

When my DualShock 3 controller gets low on battery, I usually just switch over to using the USB cable. After a few minutes of doing this, the controller will suddenly become unresponsive until the PS-button is pressed.

Is the controller still talking over Bluetooth despite being connected by cable?
Is the (brand new) controller not charging fast enough to sustain continuous play?
Is it that the switchover from Bluetooth to USB is delayed, and requires some extra input from my side?

If that is the case, what do I need to do? Can I check somewhere which interface the controller is currently using?


texts: Can you play two different physical games at the same time with one Nintendo switch account?

texts:
Say Steve owns a Nintendo switch A and also owns a Nintendo switch B.  (One of the other or both machines might be a lite, I don't think it matters.)
Steve owns the physical cartridge of game G and Steve also owns the physical cartridge of game H.
(Completely different games.  NO digital copies involved - physical cartridges for both G and H.)
Steve has one (and only one) paid Nintendo account.
Both machines A and B are logged in as Steve's account (let's say A is the "primary" if it matters).
Cartridge G is in machine A.  Cartridge H is in machine B.
Both machines are 100% online and are never offline.
At 10:05AM Steve picks up machine A and starts playing game G on machine A.
Steve's brother Bill is sitting next to Steve.  At 10:06AM Bill picks up machine B and tries to play game H on machine B.
Is it possible to play two completely different physical cartridge games, at the same time, on two switches, both registered to the one Nintendo account?
This question is only about

Switches that are both completely online always

Games that are only physical cartridges

same account, playing at the same time

Surprisingly I could not find the answer to this anywhere including Nintendo.
There are heaps of articles about sharing digital games; about cloud saving; about offline play; and other issues of "one account multiple machines", but not this simpler question.


texts: Fallout 4: Do I really need the Institute to continue and complete fallout 4?

texts: I don't think I'm going to move forward anymore with the Institute, as a glitch has occurred in my previous question! But is it worth actually trying to fix this? Do I really need the Institute or do I become an enemy and continue on as I can't fix the glitch I don't think?


texts: What are the parameters for Kanai's Cube when upgrading rare items?

texts:
The Kanai's Cube has a power to:

Upgrade Rare Item: Upgrades the quality of a level 70 Rare item to Legendary. This item will roll as a randomized Legendary that shares that item's equipment type.

Does legendary in this case also include a chance to be a green set item of that equipment type?

Is this upgrade only going to upgrade for the class in which you are currently playing?

I just got the second character in my party (Esther). Now I can exchange familiar between characters. I just have been told that some characters will be a better match with some  familiars. I have also been told to go to into "Friend & Familiars" menu to check which match will be best.

I don't know what to look for making the best match between familiars and characters.


texts: Do I need to buy multiple games to be able to play Diablo 3 with my wife?

texts:
I know that the account is connected to your Battle.net account(I already have one through SC2 and she doesn't have any yet). I am buying the game tomorrow and I wish to know if one CD is enough. I doubt that Blizzard would allow this as this will obviously make them lose some sales(if a group of friends pool their money and pass the cd around and then play with just one cd alone).

Which brings me to my question:

does it need a CD to play? (SC2 doesn't so hopefully it doesn't also)
do I need to buy 2 games? I find it a waste of  DVDs especially since you probably don't need the disc to play the game
is there like just a license purchase of some sort? Kind of like just buy an D3 account or something? Or do I have to buy a digital copy?

I have recently returned to play Terraria and try Journey's End Master Mode. Got lucky and defeated a Pinky as soon as I begin my game, which gives me a few gold coins, and somehow managed to find a Heart Crystal and some Bombs inside the first natural cave that I entered. Then I build a few houses (confirmed as valid housing) in preparation for NPCs to move in. It all happened on the first day, it was a great start, I thought. But then...

Currently on the 5th night. Neither Merchant, Nurse, nor Demolitionist have moved into these houses that I prepared. The same with Arms Dealer and Dye Trader, these randomly spawning NPCs just won't move in even with their prerequisites filled.

Is there any new rules for NPC spawning in Master Mode? Or have I angered RNGsus for accidentally butchering those bunnies and squirrels while cutting down trees?


texts: How do you summon the Killer Bunny on Bedrock Edition?

texts:
I know that the Killer Bunny can be summoned with commands in Java Edition, like so:
summon minecraft:rabbit ~ ~ ~ {RabbitType:99}

Is it possible to do this on Bedrock Edition? If so, how?


texts: What does the bonus item from completing the Darker Side do?

texts:
After collecting 500 power moons and completing the Darker Side, you get

   the Invisibility Cap. It literally makes you invisible, only leaving your shadow. Your hat, however, is visible when you throw it and looks like Mario's regular hat (with Cappy's eyes).

What exactly are benefits/effects of using this item?

I ate too much candy, and increased my max health too much that I now find it very difficult to defeat myself.

Since my clone has the exact same hitpoints as me, is there a way to make that fight easier and faster? Is there a way to lower my hitpoints?
