texts: Does installing the free official DLCs provide you with inproportionately powerful equipment early on?

texts:
So I have just bought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Steam and noticed there are a couple of free DLCs available. Some of these are armor or weapon sets. However, I am worried that installing those will give me access to powerful equipment/spells/whatever too early on in the game, lowering the difficulty in the progress. Is this the case?

My question(s) in detail:

After installing the respective DLCs, when can you get the additional weapons/equipment? Right from the start of the game, only at a certain player level, after a certain story event?
How do you get the equipment? Through special quests, ingame crafting (not sure if it exists in this game), or does it just appear in your inventory after installing the DLC?
Are the DLC items inproportionately powerful (at whatever point you get them in the game) compared to the equipment vanilla/base game?
Are there any other inproportionately powerfuls items/spells/other stuff avialable through the DLC that I should be aware of (such as quest rewards for the quest DLCs or stuff like that)?

Thank you!

texts: How exactly does targeting work during the fight phases?

texts:
The card minigame used to resolve encounters in Thea is a bit confusing at first, at least partially due to the lack of clear instructions.

I've got a pretty good grasp of it at this point, and the fight phase usually goes about as I expect, but sometimes I'm left wondering why one card attacked the card it did.

I don't have the exact wording from the tutorial on hand, but it said approximately

  Each card will attack the closest card on the right or left.

That leaves a lot of questions. Is it deterministic or random? Is it circular, i.e. does it wrap around from each end? What's the tiebreaker if two cards are equal distance? Does it prefer right and only choose left if there's no right, or vice-versa?

So, what's the targeting algorithm during the fight phase, are there any random elements, and how do they work?


texts: How can Franklin not lose the game because of Lamar?

texts:
I am working on a research project based on GTAV (Grand Theft Auto 5-GTA5) on PC. However, I need to use teleport feature of Script Hook V which when I use it and go anywhere, I lose the mission because it tells me I abandoned Lamar. Also when I am just playing normally and grab the car (after someone talked to Michael) using Y and then press on gas pedal and follow Lamar, after less than 1 minutes, it just tells me I lost the mission because of losing Lamar. How can I get rid of this whole Lamar thing and play solo? Seems for teleporting, I do really need to play solo else Lamar will be left out. I am also planning to run the scrips (C Sharp and Lua scripts) using Script Hook V .NET and for so teleporting is needed.

I bought the game from Rockstar and is run on Windows 10 x64 in 64-bit mode.
Thanks to Script Hook V and pressing F4, teleport feature works but I lose the mission right after going to the new place.

Here's the car driving part that I lose because of Lamar:


texts: How long does an expansion activity surge last?

texts:
It's expected that Cataclysm will bring about a surge of activity as people check out all the new content immediately after launch. Having played World of Warcraft immediately after The Burning Crusade came out, I know during the expansion surge, it's very hard to get anything done as you're competing with everyone to do the same starting content.

How long does this initial surge last, and when does the game back to normal levels (in the sense that you can complete quests and access NPCs without much competition)? A week? A month? A few months?

texts: How can I synchronize Starbound savegame for multiple users on multiple computers?

texts:
Here's my situation:

2 users play starbound on multiple computers (2 desktops)
sometimes we play multiplayer together, each on 1 desktop
I want to sync my savegames so I can pick up on any of the computers when playing single player

Is this even possible with Starbound?

If I would play always single player with only my own character, I can sync my savegames by copying the storage directory from the SteamApps directory to the computers. But as the universe is shared, if the other user played inbetween, I would overwrite the state of some of the planets when I copy files over from the other computer. Is my understanding correct? If yes, is there any way to solve this?


texts:
As content in the game scales higher and higher, especially in Sortie 2-3 missions and Kuva Flood missions, enemy armor scaling starts to become a serious issue, as your weapons start to deal lowered damage, and at some points, becomes nearly miniscule.  There are a variety of weapons that can be modded for Corrosive, as corrosive procs can strip armor, but that requires status-based weapons and requires heavy modding in order to reliably strip armor.

There are a lot of Warframes in the game with many different roles, but what I would like to know is which frames do the best job at stripping armor? I know of a few strippers, such as a Frost Avalanche build, or a Hydroid Corrosive Barrage build, or even just using Mag, but how do armor strippers fare against each other? Who is the best stripper?


texts: How do I optimise expedition and gym output?

texts:
I noticed that when assigning spirits to an expedition, gym, or dojo, apart from the basic level/rarity/type information on each spirit, some of them have an upward red arrow icon while others have a downward blue arrow icon or no icon at all. You can even sort spirits by "condition", so I'm gonna call it exactly that. My question is: how to choose the best spirits for each task?

In my opinion, each of those four stats (level/rarity/type/condition) might contribute to the spirit effectiveness, but I want to know to what degree. So my question is twofold:

What does this "condition" mean, how is it calculated, and how does that affect expedition rewards (or gym effectiveness)?
How does level/rarity/type affect expedition rewards and gym effectiveness?


texts: In KSP-Interstellar, is there a way to disable a fission reactor?

texts:
I've installed KSP-Interstellar and I'm enthusiastic of this beautiful mod, but I'm still far from understanding all of its complex mechanics. One of the problems I'm facing now is the excess of WasteHeat. As you can see in the screenshot I've covered my (oversized) space station with Huge Radiators but it still can't completely dissipate all the heat produced by the four "Aegletes 2" fission reactors. As far I can read on this page I'm quite low on radiators. I have 20 and that should be enough for just one "Aegletes 2" fission reactor. So, periodically, my reactors overheat and when are at 95% of the total WasteHeat capacity, they shutdown and I have to do EVA to restart them. Surprisingly enough, this happens even with just one reactor active, so I'm stuck in this endless loop. So the question is: given that there is no "shutdown" button, is there an unofficial way to shutdown fission reactors without doing EVA? And as side-question, how can I upgrade my radiators to disperse more heat?

Thank you for any help

I realized after the first heist that I could have made a better choice of crew in order to maximize my returns (since certain people end up costing more due to scripted events). Regardless of difficulty, what crew members should I choose in the heist missions in order to make the most money?

texts:
In response to a General Strategies question, @deceze commented that he'd recently won a cultural victory with just 2 cities and no real military vs. his main competitor's 40 cities.

I've always assumed more cities = better empire: if I have 40 cities I should be able to squash an opponent with 20, whether I focus on military, culture, or science. Is that wrong? I love the idea of micro-managing a tiny empire rather than wearily juggling lots of cities and units toward end-game. (This partly comes from my earlier question about avoiding a tedious end-game: a small empire is inherently less tedious.)

Is "Micro-Empire" a viable strategy for one or all of the victory conditions? If so, how do you pull it off?

texts:
I am experiencing an issue with Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock where songs will develop a video lag that starts out negligibly small and gets worse as the song progresses.  For most songs it is not even noticeable, but there are a few songs in the game where the lag is very apparent and it really interferes with the gameplay.
The song in particular that made me realize this was an issue was "Do You Feel Like We Do?" by Peter Frampton.  I believe it may be due to the length of the song (It is about 14 minutes long).
The song appears to play fine at first, but as you get further into it (I noticed at about 8-9 minutes in) a video lag appears to develop and gets progressively worse until the song ends.  By the end of the song the lag was so bad that the audio and video was very obviously out of sync.
I am playing on an XBox 360 using an HDMI cable for the video signal and external speakers for audio (Using external speakers eliminates any possible audio lag since the signal is going directly from the XBox to the speakers).  I have tested this using multiple televisions and have ruled out the possibility that it could be my TV creating the issue.
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue and if anyone had a solution?

EDIT:
Thank you for all of the great comments!  Based on one of the comments it was determined that it could be the disc that was causing the issue.  The only two things in my setup I have not been able to swap out and eliminate as the problem were the disc and the Xbox 360 itself, so I figured the next step would be to go out and purchase a new disc.  I bought a brand new copy too so I could be sure it was not scratched or damaged in any way.
The new disc arrived today and unfortunately the problem seems to continue even with a completely different disc...  So the disc itself is not the problem.

So here is what I propose...
I'm obviously not going to just go out and buy a new Xbox 360 when it may not even be the problem so my next guess is that this may be a bug within Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock itself.  Since this song is so outrageously long (like really... it drags on and on...) it is probably not played very often (even by people who play the game all the time like me).  If this song did have a bug, it is quite possible that it would go completely unnoticed by most of the Guitar Hero community.
I was wondering if anyone on this site has Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock for the Xbox 360 and is good enough to play the song "Do You Feel Like We Do?" by Peter Frampton on expert difficulty? (I have only tried it on expert and to be honest I don't know if i have the patience to sit through the whole thing on a lower difficulty).
If someone could test this out on their own Xbox, with their own TV and verify that the lag does not happen for them... or confirm that it does... I would greatly appreciate it!
...If you can't do expert I would guess that the problem still occurs at lower difficulties... Feel free to give it a try and report your findings but please also report the difficulty you played the song on just to be thorough ;) ...
I would really like to know if there is something wrong with my Xbox or if this could be a bug that is inherent within the game itself.

texts: Is there a way to break through bosses' "flash block"?

texts:
When fighting the last bosses like Goro, Kintaro, and Shao Khan, hitting them often results in them executing some "flash block" where their body flashes white on contact.  They don't even go into actual block mode.  During this flash block, it seems as though they take normal physical damage, but they aren't knocked back or otherwise affected by the attack (ie, except for the damage, it's as if you never even hit them).

This is annoying, especially when you're trying to get out a good combo.  You can be mid combo and they'll start flashing white and pummel you without actually breaking your combo.  They just act as if you're not doing anything to them at all.  Either there's a way to break this boss block or it's just a cheap way to make the game harder without having to invest more research into legitimate AI.

Previous Output:

After powering the impulse, I don't get the tag added to me, as expected because the impulse fails, and the first chain is conditional, but somehow the title from the second chain still shows. I can confirm that the block the first command block is searching for is NOT there, and that when I check my tags afterwards, I do NOT get the tag. Though somehow the title still shows, does anybody know how this is possible?

texts: Are perk modifiers to weapon damage added before or after DT is applied?

texts:
The combat damage formula on the wiki seems to indicate that perk bonuses to combat damage is added after DT has been applied. However if I take the Cowboy perk the dam stat on the weapon is increased by 25% suggesting that this bonus is applied before DT. The same is true for Bloody Mess, Lord Death, Pyromaniac etc.
If it's applied directly to the base damage it won't be applied to the bonus damage from critical hits, however if it's applied after DT then the effect is smaller for normal hits than it would be if it was applied before DT.
I'm assuming that either the UI shows misleading damage values, or perks like Cowboy that increases specific weapon damage is added to the base damage of the weapon instead of at the end. What is correct?

texts: Is Infinite City Spam a good strategy on Immortal/Deity in Brave New World?

texts:
Infinite City Spam (ICS) has been the go-to Win Button in the Civilization series for some time. In short, the idea is to build as many cities as humanly possible; even if some of those cities aren't much good, they're still better than not having the city. In Civ I, II, and III, there wasn't any reason not to build a hundred cities as quickly as possible. Civ IV introduced a per-city "tax", which increased with the number of cities in your empire; this stopped ICS, because a low-value city would damage your empire.

Civ V tried to prevent ICS via the Global Happiness mechanic. The idea was to make it harder to build extra cities by adding a per-city penalty to Global Happiness. Unfortunately, Civ V also has a goodly collection of per-city bonuses, making ICS workable again; it's telling that the answer to "How do I beat Civ5 on deity?" is Infinite City Spam. (Per-city bonuses include Martitime City-States and a wide variety of social policies.) Clever players found ways to do ICS despite the Global Happiness mechanic (mostly via the happiness-producing buildings).

Civ V has had several patches and expansions since its initial release, in an attempt to reduce the efficiency of ICS:

Maritime City-State allies only give +1 food per city, not +2.
Happiness buildings now produce Local Happiness, which cannot be used outside of the city that produces it. Tiny cities with all of the happiness-producing buildings no longer create a net-positive-happiness city (unless there are luxury resources or world wonders there, which are limited in supply).
Happiness buildings produce less Happiness. (Typically +2 instead of +3.)
The Social Policies have been overhauled; several of them no longer give per-city bonuses, or delay those bonuses until all 6 policies in a tree have been filled (to make it harder to accumulate a large number of these bonuses).
Research costs now increase 5% per city (including puppets), and Libraries no longer have specialist slots; small cities will be a net penalty to Science production.
Gold production was overhauled in Brave New World, reducing the power of improvements like Market and Bank while granting limited-number-per-civilization Trade Routes.

So, given the above changes, is Infinite City Spam still a good strategy as of the Brave New World expansion, in games on Immortal or Deity? Is it still viable, but now much weaker? If it's still possible, how is it done? (I'm assuming the guides from 2010 are obsolete.)

texts: How does "gaining the right" to advance classes work?

texts:
As I mentioned in this question, class changes are done at Shrines of Mila, rather than via Seals, so I'm at a loss for the way class changes work in this game.

That said, I've noticed some disparity in the way units have been "gaining the right" to advance classes. For instance, Lukas gained the right to the Knight class once he hit level 7 as a Soldier, similar to the way Tobin gained the right to the Myrmidon class at level 7 as a Mercenary. However, Alm has yet to gain the right to advance past the Fighter class (it is the the same "level" as the Soldier and Mercenary classes), despite being level 8. Faye also has yet to gain the right to a class higher than Pegasus Knight (she's level 8, as well).

Is there some sort of criteria for gaining the right to different classes? If I choose not to change classes right away, will I eventually get more options?

texts:
Yesterday, one of my friends started playing TF2 for the first time, so I thought it would be a good idea if we played a game against bots together before we play the mayhem that is multiplayer. So, I decided to set up a server and told her to connect to it. Here is the exact process that I did:

Port-forwarded ports 27000 through 27040
Clicked the "Create server" button
Set up a capture point server on the map Gorge with a hostname and password "new"
When loaded into the server, I typed "ip <my_external_ip>:27015" into the console
I also entered the command sv_lan 0
I then told her to enter password new and connect <my_external_ip>:27015

Every time we tried, one of two things happened:

Her client sent an error message saying "Connection failed after 4 retries"
Her client sent an error message saying "The server is not responding"

She can connect to normal servers fine, and so can I. What am I doing wrong and why can't she connect?

Who, or what, are they? Is this something that gets explained in a later route?


texts: How do i turn myself invisible including armor and items im holding?

texts:
im making a map and for it to work i used some commands to give the player a câmera system to use , but the system teleports the player into the câmera spots for it to watch .

There is any command to turn both invisible as well?


texts: Do "acres" still matter for how I plant trees/flowers?

texts:
In the first Animal Crossing there were sectors of the map like A1 and D4, and to get a perfect town you needed just enough, but not too many, trees/etc in all areas.

Does New Leaf work like that in that there can be too many trees in one area or can I put trees/flowers pretty much anywhere, even in tight bundles? My current plans include a dense orchard for fruits and a lot of flowers in one area so they can breed freely and so it's easier to keep them watered.


texts: Is it possible to switch factions in Planetside 2 after choosing one?

texts:
As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was any information that confirms or denies the possibility of being able to switch factions after choosing one. For example, say I choose the Terran Republic, but then I decide that I no longer want to play for that faction. Can I switch?

Edit: This was posted during beta, and as such is outdated.


texts:
Rapiers and spears are pretty common to come up against. When fighting someone who just spams the thrust move over and over, how can I effectively counter them (especially with a slower weapon like a 2H sword)?

I can parry, but by the time I riposte I'm already being stabbed again.

Chambering the thrust doesn't seem to work for the same reason. I just get poked again by the time my chamber hits, or it doesn't seem to hit them at all.

I've seen people suggest that chamber morphing can be effective, but I usually end up getting poked early in the slash animation.

Is it just a matter of keeping them at range?

texts: What determines how much Tribute you get from a Ritual encounter?

texts:
In the Ritual league, you have to fight waves of enemies you previously killed around a special altar to receive tribute. Seems straightforward enough, but the amount of tribute I get from each encounter seems almost random. What affects this amount and can I influence it?
I know that the waves are formed from enemies killed around the altar before its activation. What I don't quite understand is whether it's all monsters killed at any point or just some. Is there a limit? Should I try to draw more enemies into the ritual area before knocking on the altar?

texts: It's probably been nearly a year since I played a game on my PS3 but today I decided wanted to play some. My PS3 is connected through HDMI. When I open the game I get no video but there is sound. I use the PS3 a lot (earlier today actually) for streaming Netflix and Hulu and there's no issues - video and sound work great. I tried several games (both discs and games on the HD) and got the same result - sound but no video. I swapped HDMI cables, changed HDMI ports on the TV, and held the power button for a few seconds during turn-on to reset the video settings but still no luck. I'm at a bit of a loss. If anyone has any other ideas I'd definitely appreciate hearing them!


texts: So I've tried a VGA to HDMI and i just saw that it wouldn't work. If i get a xbox 360 vga hd av cable will i get sound?

It would be nice to have it push a redstone lamp that gets powered in the closing position but I think that is aiming a bit high. Any ideas?

texts:
The Kill Zone ability says "Take a reaction shot against any enemy that moves or attacks within cone of fire" and the Guardian ability says "With every successful Overwatch shot, there is a 50% chance that another shot will be taken."

If Kill Zone does stack with Guardian, the descriptions lead me to believe that a Kill Zone/Guardian special could potentially deal a lot of damage to a whole pod of enemies.

Do these perks stack?

texts: Do plorts in your ranch eventually disappear?

texts: In my game I have nearly 50 phosphor slimes freely roaming throughout the cave expansion for the ranch. They make looooots of plorts because of several cuberry trees (their favourite). It would be nice to only go there rarely to collect these, so to be sure, I'm asking this. Do plorts in your ranch disappear? Obviously they do in the wild areas, but do they in your ranch? If they don't disappear, is that just limited to corrals or your ranch in general?


texts: I deployed with an infinite durability supressor that I didn't research. Why?

texts:
MGS 5: TPP On Xbox One

My normal loadout consists of a Renkov Tranq Conversion sniper rifle.
I got the legendary gunsmith, and customised this to add a grade 1 suppressor rather than researching the suppressor for this rifle (also a neat paintjob).

It works great - however something really unexpected happened the last time I deployed. My suppressor on this rifle had infinite durability, marked by a small infinity sign next to the suppressor bar on the weapon when equipped. After using several magazines of tranq rounds, the durability didn't go down.

I was about to start story mission 19, and was just running around stealing resource containers and capturing guard posts in Africa. I started at the oil well base, and moved south - east from there, capturing everything in my path, all the way to the mine, picking up everything I could - I wonder if this was an item I picked up and didn't notice.

I called in a supply drop multiple times and kept my infinite suppressor, but mistakenly called in a loadout (containing the same weapon) and lost it when I jumped in the box.

TL;DR

Where did my infinite suppressor come from - any chance I picked it up as an item while running through the various checkpoints and bases I was raiding? Is it a bug, exploit, or is there a random chance I will get one?

texts: What are the limitations of the free version of FRAPS?

texts:
I know there is a downloadable version of FRAPS for free. However, I don't know what kind of limitations this version has.

Neither the download page nor the support (FAQ) page describe the limitations. The "buy" page only lists these as the full version advantages:

Record as long as you like.
Perform full-size recording with no watermarks on your movie.
Capture screenshots directly to JPG, PNG and TGA formats!

But I have a feeling this is not the whole story. What are the actual limitations of the free version of FRAPS? Is it time-limited? Are there nagging screens? Is there a watermark while playing the game? Is there any feature that is not available in this version? Is there anything else I haven't mentioned?

texts: In Metal Gear Solid, why did Foxhound need Snake?

texts:
Metal Gear Solid is a tactical stealth-ops game wrapped in an enigmatic nuclear-themed storyline.  One part of that storyline has always bugged me.

Halfway through the game, it comes to light that, in order to launch the nuclear missiles on Rex, the terrorists need either two detonation codes, or three card keys.  They lose the ability to use the codes, and so are dependent on finding the card keys.

And for some reason, they need to let a stealth operative into the military complex they took over so that he can find it for them.

This doesn't exactly make sense to me - why would Foxhound need to bring in someone who knows less about the military complex than they do?  Why would they need him to find the keycard, when they could just search the base themselves?

Yes, it's being held by Meryl when they found her, but they had her in captivity until Snake arrived.  Had they just done a better job of searching their prisoners, they would've found the keycard no problem.  She can't even resist their psychic's mind control, so he could've just found out if she knew where it was, and taken it from her.

Where, in all of this, is it necessary for them to bring in Snake to find the keycard for them?

Note that while a full explanation of how things went down is fine, all I'm really looking for is Foxhound's original plan, and how it required Snake.


texts: Is it possible to be permanently killed by the Black Death?

texts:
It is a well known fact that one of the most dangerous monsters in the original Diablo is actually one that you encounter relatively early - a variant of the zombie monster known as Black Death.

These can be encountered on levels 3-5 and seem harmless enough, as they don't do a lot of damage and are just as slow as all the other types of zombies, but each time they hit you they take away 1 HP out of your maximum, permanently (I didn't realize this until a friend tipped me off, at which point I avoided these like, well, the black death).

Thinking about this now, I am wondering just how low you can get your HP by getting hit by these monsters. Specifically, I wonder what were to happen if you manage to reduce your maximum HP to 1 and then get hit by one of these (though I imagine this is tricky to pull off, seeing how at a certain point each hit by these would kill you off completely)?


texts: Where can I find Blood Dragons wearing brain-cages?

texts:
I am trying to get the achievement 'Set Them Free' which requires that I disable 5 brain cages on Blood Dragons.

However now that the story missions are over I can't seem to find any Blood Dragons still wearing the cage.

Is there a place I can go to find Blood Dragons with brain cages?

I still have a garrison left unliberated but mostly everything else has been done. Have I just missed some crucial Blood Dragons during story play through?

For example, if I tried to play Dissidia Final Fantasy on my PS Vita against a friend who was playing it on the PSP, would I be able to do this?

texts: Does ammo depletion increase those ammo drops?

texts: There are several different types of ammunition (e.g. sniper rifle, launcher, grenades, etc.). I think being very low on a type of ammunition increases the chance that ammunition of that type spawns in the world, such as from piles and ammo chests. Is this true? If so, does the chance increase at a flat rate relative to ammo amount, or is it that, below a certain amount, ammo of that type is more likely to spawn (at a new static chance)?

texts:
I'm creating a custom population (.pop) file for Mann vs Machine, and want to be able to apply condition codes (like the TF2_AddCondition function, or the addcond cheat command) to a specific bot when it arrives.

Some examples of what I'm trying to accomplish:

Upon arrival, a bot has 100% Critical Hit chance for 30 seconds. (TFCond_CritOnDamage)
Or: Upon spawning, coat this bot in Mad Milk (TFCond_Milked) for infinite duration. (That would mean that all attacks against this bot return health to the attacker.)

The .pop files have support for event triggers eg StartWaveOutput, but the documentation is virtually nonexistent.

Does anyone know how I can apply TF2 Conditions to bots in MvM?

Getting a strange bug that I can't find a fix for. The top of my production interface windows are getting cut off a little. The first line is just missing and the second like is cut in half. It doesn't just appear to be a graphic bug but also the button is just gone. Clicking the blank space has zero affect from the button that was there. As you can see in the screenshots.
I've played eu4 for ages and never had any problems. This started after 2 changes, one eldorado dlc downloaded and active. 2nd is I plugging my comp into my HD T.V. Which is 51" compared to my previous 25/27" monitor. I havn't had any problems elsewere in other games. The native resolution is 1024 x 768. That made words in eu4 a little annoying but not a problem when it came to playing really. The interface being cut off is the real issue as nothing I have tried has had any affect. Compatibility and drivers now triple checked. This is also the only problem I have found, the rest of the game and other interfaces are running fine. Can join multiplayer games etc so its not affected that either.
Checksum is not different to other players whos games are working fine. Iv reninstalled the game, verified files, triple checked every single driver but no affect.
Any random idea at this point would be appreciated as I'v never seen or heard of a problem like this.
(Sorry for how long the question is, I'm trying to be thorough)

texts: Rust Dedicated server - Server crashes after startup

texts:
So I've been running a dedicated Rust server for some time, with no issue. I had created a couple different worlds (different seeds with different server identities) and switching between them with no problem. There was a Rust client update today, so I used the steamcmd.exe and app_update as usual, and it said it was successful. However now when I try to load any world (even a brand new one) I get this:

Navmesh Build took 50.18 seconds
Map Spawned 309 entities
Couldn't load server/MyServer/proceduralmap.4000.123456.147.sav - file doesn't exist
Missing EnvSync - creating

eac_server.dll [x64] :: hModule: 00007FFF98750000 dwReason: 1 lpvReserved: 0
Server startup complete

E:\SteamGames\rust_server>

I know the sav file not existing is just an artifact of this being a new server, so I'm not worried about that. I've seen from other posts that apparently the eac_server.dll line is okay, people get spammed with that on the console and the server still works, but I never used to get that message before when it worked. Steam just shuts the server down immediately after the Server startup complete message.

If it matters, here is my started line:

RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +server.level "Procedural
Map" +server.seed 123456 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.maxplayers 10
+server.hostname "My Rust Server" +server.description "My Rust server"
+server.identity "MyServer"

(broken into multiple lines here just for visibility, single line in the startup file)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

texts: Factorio: Cannot Finish Steam Engine Campaign Mission

texts:
I started playing Factorio and I am at the campaign mission where the steam engines are introduced.

It asked me first to build a pump and pipes to the boiler which I did. I also put coal into the boiler. Then it asked me to build pipes to the steam engine, which I also did. However, from there on nothing happened. It still asks me to build pipes to the steam engine, which are there already, filled with water, and there are the yellow "no power" triangles on all appliances except the boiler.

When I put in coal into the boiler, it heats up briefly but then stops again.

The message in the corner, that I need to connect pipes to the steam engine, does not go away.

I have no idea how to move on from there. Any clues?

How can I effectively prevent settlement growth (as in stop the population from increasing) in Fallout 4 while maintaining relatively high happiness (say at least 70)?

For example, if I want to use Graygarden only as a 10-farmers-only greenhouse and don't want any more people to settle there.

If the settlement has enough food, water and defense for those 10 people, will it automatically attract new settlers? Or is the recruitment radio tower mandatory? In which case not building (or turning it off) the tower would be sufficient to prevent the settlement growth?


texts: How can I teleport to an unloaded entity?

texts:
I am using invisible invulnerable ArmorStands to create "warps" and "homes" in a map. The idea is that I can spawn them in with a specific name, and then teleport a player back to them like this:

/tp @p @e[name=PlayerHome,type=ArmorStand]

These warps/homes need to be able to be moved, so I cannot just use static coordinates.

The ArmorStand method was working fine at first, however I have noticed that if the entity is not within spawn chunks or a radius of the player, I cannot teleport or interact with it in any way.

Is there any way I can teleport to a far-away entity? Or have it become loaded first?

I was thinking of doing something with /spreadplayers, which loads chunks that entities are spread to, but I cannot get it to target the unloaded ArmorStand.


texts:
According to the Borderlands Wiki:

  Cumulatively large contributions to Moxxi's tip jar will result in gifts to the Vault Hunter.

I only found this out after giving her about $1,200 (1x $1,000 & 2x $100) just for the sake of seeing what would happen. Aside from some amusing commentary, I got nothing.

So, how does this work?

What are the thresholds at which she starts giving loot - are they set points, or is she effectively another slot machine?
Does the "cumulative" donation need to be given in one visit, or can it be spread out across multiple stops in the zone?
Are there any particular items that she gives, or is it just random leveled loot approximate in value to the donation level?
Is the loot even worth it - could I sell the given loot and get anywhere close to a full return on my investment?


texts: Why is this Marsh puzzle solution wrong?

texts:
Ok, I'm new to the game (under an hour) so bare minimum of spoilers please.

I'm trying to solve the marsh puzzles and from the "tutorial" set, I picked up the following rules...

The outline must include all the symbols
The shapes defined in symbols must fit in the enclosed area with no overlap and nothing spare
The symbols don't have to be on top of respective shapes

This seemed to work for all the tutorial puzzles, but then I tried these rules out on the first puzzle, to extend a bridge.

This didn't work

But this did

Why? What additional rule am I missing?

I found the working solution by trial and error and want to understand before progressing

I wanted to ask what other weapons in dark souls 2 have this capability? before I got this weapon, it was my understanding that you can not block and attack at the same time.

texts:
I read that i could change the difficulty while in town so when i went to confirm it, on selecting the difficulty option i got a notice. while telling me about the differences between the difficulties the last page talked about how "some" badges can't be obtained in Picnic.

Now i've been playing casual and i read that the Badge you get from destroying the Yggdrasil Core post game without the help of the Yggdrasil Virus or Kupala's sacrifice can only be gotten in Expert so i was thinking of switching to Picnic to grind lower level characters on the lower floors to quickly get them up to par with the rest of the party and then switch it to Expert when i'm ready to take on the core.

I am wondering what badges the final page in the notice was talking about that i can't get if i am in Picnic

texts: GTA Online - Calling Another Player In-Game

texts:
Yesterday, I was in a party with a couple friends and I noticed I could go into my contacts and give them a call. I tried multiple times and each time...nothing happened. My friend never received the call and I never received theirs; the phone just kept ringing. Each time you call someone, it takes $10 from your bank account (for some reason).

According to the GTA Online Guide - Your Phone Is Your Friend:

You can also make player-to-player phone calls using your phone – navigate to the Gamertag / PSN ID of one of your friends and select ‘Call.’ This will even work if they are in Story Mode.

That's nice and all, but it still doesn't explain what happens when you call another player.  Does anyone know what is supposed to happen when you call someone in-game? I even checked to see if any private chats or parties are created, but nothing happens! The phone just endlessly rings.

Edit: (2 Days Later)

Well it's been two days and I still have no idea what this feature does and, after reading some of the comments, I decided to update my question.

Here is my current situation:

I am playing on a Xbox 360 and I am trying to "Call" other players (an option that is located in your phone's contacts).

I have tried this many times with many people while I was:

In a party
In a private chat
In-game chat (no party/chat)

Each time I tried calling another player (who also has a Xbox 360 since the game is not cross-platform), the person I was calling never received the call and never got a notification that I was even calling them.  However, every time I was charged $10. I would let the phone ring for several minutes at a time with no response.

Question:
What is the point of this feature and why does it cost $10? For example, you can call Lester and he can locate a car for $100.  Since I am being charge $10 for each call made to another player, I am expecting something to occur (i.e. the person you are calling answers the phone and immediately spawns near you). I'm not concerned with what happens behind the scenes.

texts: Does your character's skin color actually affect the difficulty?

texts:
So there's this pretty obscure turn based RPG game called Gods Lands of Infinity. So there's a melee power of each character in this game. In this case, the Melee Power is 132. Each weapon also has a damage of their own, and in this case, the weapon damage is 9-11. Now, attacking on a enemy who has defense of -30, the damage output is 11-13. If the weapon's base damage is increased to 12-14, the damage output becomes 14-17.

Can someone figure out the damage equation in this game?

texts: Is it possible to recover a gamertag/account from a (fat) Xbox 360 with no hard drive?

texts:
When the slim 360's came out, I traded in my white 20gb model without the hard drive. I assumed that all profile/gamertag information was on the hard drive.

Fast forward to today and I see that someone logged into my account, spent my points, played a game, changed the avatar, etc.

I was not the victim of any social engineering, etc. The only thing I can think of is that my old console allowed the purchaser to log into my XBL account, even though I still have my original hard drive.

texts: How is guild influence gained in Guild Wars 2?

texts:
The official wiki lists the following as one way to get influence:

  2 influence for individual guild members completing an event or part of a personal storyline. (The per-player influence gained increases substantially with each new participating guild member.)

Does anyone know exactly how this guild bonus works?  Does this mean if you have more than one guild member completing an event together, you each generate more influence for the guild?

Update: Appears that you get 20 influence if you do an event with one or more guildies together


texts: What are the Key Gameplay Differences between Valve's DOTA 2 vs League of Legends?

texts:
Valve's new game DotA 2 is a sequel to the popular Warcraft 3 map of the same name which is nearing release. The game follows the same paradigm of a similar game, League of Legends which was inspired from the original DotA map.

Both games follow the same idea of leveling of a character, gaining items and hunting down non-player controlled monsters and player-controlled heroes with the ultimate goal of destroying the opponent's base.

Outside of these core genre-specific concepts, what would a veteran League of Legends player find to be new gameplay concepts when transitioning into DotA 2 (excluding differences in Heros, Terrain and Items)?

texts:
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a question such as this but I am not sure if there are any others stack exchanges that this would be more relevant to. I recently purchased the total war complete pack on steam due to its massive discount and proceeded to install shogun 2, I downloaded it on my laptop then used the steam backup/restore function to transfer it to my main pc. after installing I tried to play the game, it got as far the splash screen and then crashes my entire computer.

I have searched the internet for quite a while and it appears my problem is in no way unique but I have yet to find solution that helps me. My graphics and audio drivers are up to date, my computer exceeds the minimum specs (I can run Skyrim on ultra without a problem) I have reinstalled the game, deleted some steam .blob files, verified cache until it didn't come up with anything new and still nothing.  Any help at all in fixing this problem is greatly appreciated and please let me know if you need any more details.

The crash happens about 30 seconds to a minute after the splash screen has first displayed the courser doesn't change to the total war cursor, the computer locks up I cant move my mouse then the screen goes black and computer reboots itself.

First mission : Milwaukee Junction

In the first play-through, I completed the Typhoon objective first and found the hostages already dead when I arrived at the office where they were held. I figured that the gas bomb was activated when I was discovered by PF members. Also, I did not discover the overhead vent passage until much later.

Today, in my second play-through, I reload the first save file (and skip the lab attack tutorial). I intended to save the hostages but I keep finding them gassed to death. Even using the overhead passage, I saw them dead through the window. I reload the mission 3 times and they ended up dead each time.

At one time, while waiting in the clean room (as a cover for game level loading), I spot a subtitle text "Dispersal device activated. Have a nice day."

Giving up, I deleted the save file. I guess the only option left is to play from the start.

Did it happen to anyone else?


texts: Minecraft Multiplayer Server Coordinates Export?

texts:
I play Minecraft on a big multiplayer server, and via voting, I lucked into a higher rank that lets me set unlimited homes. I loving being able to TP anywhere so I've set maybe 60-70 so far.

Here's the thing. I'd love to be able to map the coordinates of these homes, just to see a visual layout of where I've been, and where I can travel to. But for that, I'd need a full list of the X,Y,Z coordinates at each of my homes. I haven't been writing them down, but theoretically I could tp back to each one and manually record it's coordinates. Of course, this would take a really, really long time and would generally be a headache.

So tl;dr: Is there anyway for me to export the coordinates of my personal homes from a multiplayer server? I'm not looking for anyone else's info here or to cheat or hack or anything, I just want a simple clean list of all the coordinates I personally have /sethome.

This maybe/probably is impossible, but I thought I'd ask. Thank you in advance!

It's sterile silence has secrets yet to unveil. But I'm not that much familiar with the game world locations, so I'm not sure where to look.


texts: How can one properly reduce lag in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive?

texts: I've been having a little bit of an issue running CS:GO. Whenever I play, at times it will be good, but then all of a sudden it will just get real blocky and laggy and my computer will start to freeze up. Is there any way I can fix this? I have all my settings to the lowest possible one, but it is still doing it. The game is constantly eating up all of my CPU and RAM when they (Valve and others) claim it can be ran on an old crappy computer.

texts:
I have downloaded Forge 1.7.10, but when I try to install it I get the message:

  You need to run the version 1.7.10 manual at least once.

I don't really get what I'm supposed to do. Any help would be appreciated.


texts: How do you beat the Incursion training missions in Elite: Dangerous?

texts:
In the Elite: Dangerous there are two "Incursion" training missions that pitch you against tougher opponents in waves.

The last wave is an Anaconda with lots of turrets that just shred my shields.

How do you defeat the much more powerful ship?
