texts: Do all the buyable crates give the same amount of crafting parts?

texts:
The crates in battle front 2 kind of suck because after a player unlocks a fair number of cards that player usually gets mostly duplicate cards.   However, the crafting parts received from the crate mean that the player can eventually save up and unlock the cards they want.  I started buying the cheapest crates, the hero crates, because I didn't really care about the cards themselves.  Since the cards are mostly dupes, I really only care about the crafting parts and money.
But I can't recall if I checked the number of crafting parts when I switched to only hero crates, which gives 50 parts if I recall correctly.  Also the devs may have altered the number of parts, but probably not.

That makes me wonder if there is any advantage to buying the other crate types in terms of crafting parts, especially since you already receive cards from the other categories in each crate type.

Do any of the buyable crate types give a different amount of crafting parts? or do all of the buyable crates contain 50 parts each?


texts: Is progress kept between Regular and Gold Editions of Rainbow Six Siege?

texts:
If I played until level 41 on a regular edition rainbow six siege cd, and want to sell the regular edition to get a gold edition cd, do I have to start all over again with level 1? Or all the progress is saved on the Xbox one hard drive and I'll continue from level 41?

As in do I get to continue with my progress if I get replacement cd?


texts: How do I complete the Cursed Captives achievement?

texts:
The Cursed Captives achievement says to free 6 prisoners in 120 seconds in the Cursed Hold (which is obviously Act I).

I have tried this several times and always been quite over 2 minutes. The distance just seems too great to cover in so little time, especially if you get some really annoying champions like wallers or jailers.

Do I need to just hope for a better pseudo-random layout and prisoner placement? Do I need to boost my movement speed as much as possible and just gun it? Would this be easier with any specific class? Is this possible on multiplayer and, if so, is that perhaps the only way to complete this achievement? In short, how do I get this achievement?

texts:
I'm pretty new to Diablo 3, just got it last week. I am wondering if there is an area in-game that has unlimited enemies. Such as a spot where the demons keep spawning until you recover an artefact or move past a certain point.

The only spot I found when playing the campaign was right before King Leoric, with his skeleton pillars. Fun, but to easy since it's so early in the game. It'd be nice if there was an area later on that's a little harder and more fun. Not looking to farm experience or anything, just purely for the fun of hack & slash forever.

I know that the enemy level scaling works differently than in Oblivion - there are real dangers lurking in the wilderness for a low level character, since not everything is scaled down to your level.

Other than Whiterun, which cities reachable by carriage offer:

A surrounding wilderness free of Sabre Cats, Bears, Frost Trolls and the like
Some nearby camps/dungeons accessible to characters below level 10
More than one side quest to pursue

I've been trying to install enbs on skyrim for a while now. However, when I try to use Realvision's installer I get some error about a missing file and it fails to install. When I try to manually install a different enb, it seems to work until I load a save, after which it crashes to the desktop.

I have also tried editing the video memory usage in the enb's ini file, with no success. Enbs has worked before but I had to reinstall my game and haven't worked since.

texts: Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?

texts: I keep getting these error messages on my minecraft server. A couple times every minute in fact. I am running the server on 4Gb and have a total of 8Gb. The world is vanilla and usually does not have more than 3-4 people on it. I am running it on the same computer as I play Minecraft on but the error message comes up even when I am not online or have Minecraft open. I am running the server on 1.9.3-pre3. I have lots of command blocks in the spawn chunks to add some stuff to the game but there is not more than 62 command blocks in any of the spawn chunk as I know that can cause lots of lag. Any ideas as to how to get rid of this error message and reduce lag (lag includes mobs moving really slowly and block lag is not uncommon)

texts: Are the forever stages randomly generated?

texts:
In Osmos, you can play a random version of any level. However, all of the standard levels that you play are not randomly generated; they are the same for everyone that plays the game. Once you've beaten all the standard zones, you unlock forever zones which claim to go on forever (have an infinite number of levels). I could imagine them going on for a very long time without being random, but not forever.

The developer, writing about the standard levels (according to the context), states both

  All levels in their default form are winnable — randomization is never necessary. - Roadside Assistance blog post

and

  Levels in Osmos are procedurally generated - The Perversity of Inanimate Objects blog post

So, the default form of all of the levels in standard zones in Osmos are procedurally generated but not randomly generated. Are the levels in the forever zone random? Are they the same for everyone?

Here are my ambient impasse forever levels 3 and 4:

After playing several "normal" games with european states, I now want to go for some of the more curious Steam achievements in the hopes of finding a different gaming experience.

  Nobody wants to die
  Own Timbuktu as Songhai

The only problem is, I neither know where Timbuktu nor Songhai are. (My guess is somewhere in Asia, but where?)

While in the game, you can open a province and nation search dialog by pressing f, but this does not work in the nation select dialog when you want to start a game.

How do you find nations or provinces while in the nation selection dialog at the main menu?

PS: I am well aware I could just consult Wikipedia and find out where they are at 1444. However, I am more interested in a general solution so I don't have to do major research for every nation I want to play as. I am sure there is a search function somewhere that I am missing.

My Logitech Dual Action gamepad is detected by Steam and the Logitech setup utility, but it does not work at all with DuckTales Remastered.  Others are having the same issues with the same gamepad as well as others.

Another proposed solution is to download x360ce.ini and put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DuckTales Remastered\executable, but I tried this and it does not work.

There has to be a way to get this to work.  Anyone know?

This message continues for a few months, so I stopped trying the diplomatic annexation. I sent another diplomat to Improve Relation with them, but even after boosting it to the limit, there's no estimate of when the annexation will be done. Here's the tooltip:

texts: How do I complete the "Kill a monster possessed by two or more Tormented Spirits" challenge?

texts:
In the "Complete these Encounters II", one of the challenges cited is to kill a monster possessed by two or more Tormented Spirits.

The thing is, in most maps I can usually find two or more spirits, the hard part is getting them to be close to each other and then both also moving the way I want so that the monsters get double possessed.  But that seems like an incredible amount of RNG -- I've already done at least 150 maps and have yet to see two spirits ever spawn close enough to infect the same monster.

Is there an easier way to do this? Or am I stuck at the behest of RNG?

This question out of curiosity, we have been seeing powers such as Overload, warp, lift, adrenaline rush and so on. I knew that these powers depend upon our character class but what exactly give the characters these powers.

So where exactly does the character get these powers?

   My idea is to offer Rosaria one Pale Tongue, but I don't want to make Sirris mad at me for that, since I still want to summon her for some fights.


texts: Alchemy: How to Brew Potions and Use the Alchemy Bench

texts:
I cannot figure out how to use the alchemy bench. I have been trying to brew Spirits.

I am encountering three main problems.

It states that the recipe includes "spirits" (this is a base alchemy ingredient that just happens to have the same name as this potion). But at no point in the recipe is it used.
I need to add the ground (grindings takes a turn or 2) sage and mint 1 turn after the st johns, but the bench does not seem to want to allow me to pick up the sage and mint until after the st johns.

Can you grind both at the same time, or does putting a second herb in the mortar erase the last one?
Boiling seems really hard to time correctly, you cannot both work the bellows and use the timer, and 1 turn is really short compared to the nature lag that comes with using the bench and waiting for animations to finish.

Clicking the still does nothing. I have no idea how to distill a mixture.


texts: Why don't the XCOM soldiers say their voice quips as they run to their new positions?

texts:
I just got my son XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within on Steam.  He immediately downloaded and tried them both.  The game is working well on two different machines but in neither case do the soldiers say their quips (e.g., "Running", "Moving at the speed of death!") when he controls them.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the "enable soldiers speech" and "native language" option are both selected.

Points of interest:

Both machines are slightly older hardware (about 4-5 years old) but neither has trouble actually running the game.
He's already tried verifying the installed files.
We're seeing identical behavior on both machines.
All other audio seems to work fine (including the cut-scenes).
EDIT some time later: He's also tried playing with the Xbox controllers instead of mouse and keyboard.

Is there a set of files that I could check manually?  I have a clean install on this machine (which definitely plays the quips on move).

texts:
Sparked by this question, and not being able to get a super definitive answer on google, I wanted to ask about honey worth/flavor determination.

I know honey is not the most profitable thing on a farm. But aesthetics.

I wanted to know which flowers for each season provide the best worth to honey. When they are placed in the vicinity of the bee hives, it changes it from wild honey to the "flower name" honey.

Also what makes the honey determine which flower to take after? I've placed a tulip and blue jazz next to a hive (same distance) and it chose to take after the tulip, even though they grew on the same day. I understand this may just be random.

texts: TF2 and shared wireless connections -- impossible for me and my brother to connect to the same Server?

texts:
It's the summer months, and both my brother and I are home from college for the time being. This means we're currently sharing a wireless network.

We tried to play a game of Team Fortress 2 together this evening, and failed miserably; Without exception, the instant I tried to connect to the same server as him (or he, me) the other party would instantly disconnect.

Given that we have been able to play together on the same wireless network in the past (back around the WAR! Update), I was curious as to whether something changed in TF2 that might prevent two users on the same wireless network from connecting to the same server simultaneously? Is this a server option or security measure of some sort?

We both have separate steam accounts, and we haven't tried LAN.

texts: How does Angel have a brain the size of a planet?

texts:
I was walking through Sawtooth Cauldron, and got an ECHO recording with the following dialog:

   Handsome Jack: So what's this Zero guy doing on Pandora in the first place?
 Angel: I dunno.
 Handsome Jack: Angel, you've got a brain the size of a planet. Don't give me 'I dunno.
 Angel: From what footage we have of him, I can't even tell if Zero's human or not.
 Handsome Jack: W-w-what do you mean, not human? Is he a robot? An alien? What?
 Angel: I dunno.

(Copied from here)

I originally interpreted this as Angel's computer "brain", which could be huge for all we know.

At this point in the story though, we already know that Angel

   is a siren, not an AI; and obviously Jack knew this all along.

As you can see from the image below:

 Her head is clearly not the size of a planet, since this image is from when she's standing right in front of you.

What does Jack mean by this?

texts: How long will items from the Island stay in the island item drop off box?

texts:
In order to take items from the Island home you need to transfer them using an item drop off box inside the resort on the Island, and pick them up on the wharf when you return to your village. When doing so the game gives you a warning to "pick up your items as soon as possible." This makes me think that items will vanish if I leave them in the box or too long, or after I perform a specific action (like shutting off the game or visiting the Island again).

Will items vanish from the Island item drop off box, and if so, when?

texts: PS2 acts as if button is constantly pressed, even with no controller plugged in

texts:
I have a very old PS2. It worked fine for the longest time, but recently I have a strange problem. Every time I turn it on, no matter which game I use, it acts as if I am holding the analog (or possibly d-pad) left.

As a result, the only thing that works is pressing Start. When I manage to load a game (by just pressing Start repeatedly) the character spins around ceaselessly. The only other control that works is the other analog stick.

This means that in Tony Hawk games, for example, I am constantly spinning in a circle. Using the other analog stick I can observe myself spinning from above, below, or any angle in between, but I can neither stop turning nor change direction using the other stick or d-pad, and as I said, no other controls work.

I have tried turning the machine on with the controller in slot 1, in slot 2, and not plugged in at all. Nothing changes. I followed the instructions here:

How to fix broken controllers/pads?

... although the fact that this is happening even when no controller is plugged in makes me think it is not a controller issue. I am even more sure of this since I went out and purchased a second-hand controller today, and the situation has not changed.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Borrowed another controller, a non-Sony one this time. No difference. Also took the PS2 apart and cleaned it as best I could, tried inspecting for damage but as before found nothing obvious amiss.

Is it possible this is a software problem? Corrupted OS, maybe...?

EDIT 2:

In desperation to get a Tony Hawk fix, I tried PCSX2 (the PS2 emulator for PC). While in the process of hooking up my controllers to the PC, though, I ran a test and discovered something curious:

One controller is sending constant buttonpress signals for all buttons all the time. The other controller is sending a constant signal for just one buttong (d-pad left), again all the time. Taking them apart and cleaning the contacts had no effect.

I think I need to consider the possibility that both of my controllers and the one I borrowed for testing were all, unlikely though it is, malfunctioning. The system is certainly acting as though a button is being pressed all the time. The fact that it acts the same even with no controller is hard to explain away, though. Just wish I had another PS2 to check with.

Graarrgh!

texts: Steam family sharing shows “buy” instead of “play”

texts:
So my friend let me try out Arma 3 by adding my account to family sharing. So he logged onto his account on my PC (Using TeamViewer) and added my account to family sharing, and while logged into his account, I downloaded Arma 3. The next morning, I logged out of his account, went onto mine and Arma 3 was there downloaded in my account but it had the “buy” symbol instead of play.
I could see all of his other games but I couldn’t play Arma 3.

He also wasn’t playing anything at the time.

Any ideas?

texts: Does the Rock Band 3 Squier lock you into playing notes/chords a certain way for the game?

texts:
I know that the Squier Stratocaster for Rock Band 3 uses a semiconductive fretboard to read your finger placement in order to interpret the notes you are playing, rather than actually using the sound/tone of the strings. The guitar is still not available in the EU and I do not own the Mustang, so I can't try pro-mode properly. I was wondering if, for gameplay/scoring purposes, it allows you to play alternate fingering for fretting.

For example, on my real bass guitar, to play an E note , I can play either the open E string, like so:

E|------0-0-0-0------|

Or I can play an E note by holding down the 5th fret of the A string, like so:

A|------5-5-5-5------|

If RB3 wants to play an open E string but I play a fretted A string instead, will it still count me as playing an E note or not? Basically, I'm wondering if the tablature is open to interpretation based on playstyle and/or what one may have previously learned in a certain way.


texts: How can I know what an enemy team's strongest color is?

texts:
In Marvel Puzzle Quest, the 'Surgical Strike' skill of Wolverine (X-Force), destroys all tiles of the enemy team's strongest color, doing damage per tile.

The level of the character currently in front ?  The most powerful skill of that character ?  The 'primary color' of a character ... ?

Update: Blade (Daywalker)'s 'Nightstalker' skill also influences the enemy's strongest color.

texts: How to disable the slowing down of trains in slopes and in curves?

texts:
With realistic physics, one can disable slowing down in slopes, but not in curves.
With original physics, it is the opposite.

How do I get trains that won't slow down in either slopes or curves ?

As for why I want that... I like to build large hi-speed networks, with cyclotrons at the entry points and crossings. But then, at crossings, one has to go over or under some tracks, which reduces train speeds. Dealing with this bloats the crossings.

With realistic physics, cyclotrons must be very large, diminishing their efficiency. Dealing with this leads to oversized and complex entry points, and crossings, too.

texts: How to properly honor a heroic (but not dead) dwarf

texts:
So I recently got into Dwarf Fortress. I am only on my second fortresses (my first one died of dehydration as soon as winter came and all the water froze) and my poor dwarfs were recently attacked by a werpanther and I lost 6 dwarfs before the monster was killed. I figured that the dwarf that killed the beast died in the fight (there was blood everywhere) and started preparing an honorable burial for him (bejeweled coffin anyone?) but I found out that the one who did it survived the fight. I obviously can't put him in that coffin now. So what can I do to honor him?

P.S. He has absolutely no leadership skills. I think he is either a lumberjack  or a hunter.


texts:
Decided to revisit a classic from my childhood - Sonic Heroes 2003-2004. It runs decently on my onboard graphics Intel HD 5500, but there are times where the FPS drops and these occasions are quite often.

I have tried numerous times to force Nvidia graphics but to no avail. I have tried to run the game in win7 or win XP compatibility mode. Even disabled the Intel graphics processor but that only led to the game using Microsoft Default Display Driver or whatever.

I read somewhere that newer Nvidia graphics cards have compatibility issues with games that run Direct X 9.0 or lower, but im not sure how to debug this.

Does anyone have any idea how to get Nvidia GTX 940 M to run instead of the onboard graphics for Sonic Heroes?

texts: How does crafting XP relate to actual XP?

texts:
This question deals with how much crafting experience you gain from crafting various items but how does the crafting experience translate into actual experience?

I have noticed that levelling up crafting disciplines that you have previously put no effort into (and thus start at crafting level 1) still provides you a noticeable amount of experience even at later levels (50+) so it's obviously not a set amount of experience that you gain from crafting.

Is the quantity of character experience gained directly related to the amount of crafting experience received, is the amount of character experience received exactly the same as crafting experience, or something else entirely?

texts: What happens to dwarves with infections?

texts:
My military dwarves sallied out to fight a goblin ambush group that was attacking my woodcutter, and they were ambushed by another group. They killed a few and scared the others off. While pursuing the cowards they were ambushed by a third group. After a fierce battle, I had to send a lot of soldiers to the hospital. Luckily no one died.

My doctors took care of the wounded and got them all fixed up. Well, almost. Some of them got out of the hospital with an infection. They're back on their training schedule, and seem perfectly fine, except for the mention of an infection in the health screen. Will their condition deteriorate sometime later and get them back to the hospital? Or perhaps to the morgue? If so, what can I do to treat the infections?

So for the purpose of this question, let's ignore terrain. Pretend every hex is the same. Obviously during an actual game we'd want to modify this based on the terrain (and impassable terrain might make it more difficult).

What order should one build boroughs in to achieve maximum # of Level 2 districts, and exploit
the maximum number of hexes. In the reference photo, if I've built 1 borough already at 1, building the second at 3, 4, 5, or 7 will add three more exploits, but 2 and 6 will only add two.

I think Level 2 districts is more important than exploits.

In keeping with one of D3's themes, the forces that went into constructing it may be partially demonic in origin.  This hybrid of demon and angel could create something more powerful than either alone, but the "cost" may have been unpalatable to all but the amoral (viz. Kulle).

texts: Should I request epic cards on sundays if I don't have one to upgrade in my deck?

texts:
In Clash Royale, we are allowed to request 4 epic cards only once a week on sundays. Should I do it considering the following?

I have no epic cards on my 8 slots deck or similarly, I have epics but they are all maxed.
I still have rare cards I have to upgrade in main deck so that means it could be interesting to request for rare cards. Please consider the two subcases:

I have rare and common cards that match the appendix of this question.
I only have offensive leveling rare and common cards, see appendix.

Appendix: Upgrading strategy- What cards are most important to max?

There's three types of leveling:

offensive leveling (zap, snowball, trying to win the arms race to get unfair advantage over opponent's cards)
normal power leveling (giant is relatively level independent, but gets a normal 10% power boost)
defensive leveling (keeping goblin barrel and musketeer safe from unfair interactions)

The cards in the defensive category are the most fun, and the cards in the offensive category should be done last... with the exception of things like fireball that have defensive AND offensive interactions.

By racing zap up in level, you harm your fun without realizing it.

Commons: gang (to survive zap), tesla (to one-shot minions as
intended), archers (to survive log), ice spirit (to interact with
towers and musketeers), fire spirits (to interact with towers)

Honorable mentions: minions and horde have to be level 12 to survive
max zap, so they are important to level, but only to level 12

Rares: musketeers/3M (to survive fireball), furnace (to actually
exert pressure), rocket (to kill max sparky), zappies (to actually
kill skeletons), fireball (to avoid bad interactions against pump)

Honorable mention: pump needs to be level 12 to prevent losing elixir
to max fireball, but 12 is sufficient

Epics: goblin barrel (to survive zap), hunter (so pellets one-shot
skeletons), goblin giant (so the spears kill bats), witch (so she
one-shots skeletons), poison (to avoid bad interactions against pump,
and wizards and musketeers), skarmy (so it kills other level 13
skeletons efficiently)

Honorable mentions: barb barrel needs to be level 12 to kill max
princess, but 12 is fine, balloon needs to be level 12 to survive max
rocket

Legendaries: eWiz (to survive fireball), royal ghost (to one-shot max
princess), ice wiz (to survive max fireball), graveyard/night witch
(need max bats/skeletons to avoid bad interactions with other max
bats and skeletons)

Honorable mentions: log needs to be level 12 to kill princesses, but
12 is sufficient. lava hound needs to be level 12 so that the pups
survive zap, but level 12 is sufficient.

texts: What stealth elements are in Black Mesa and how does the enemy AI detect the player?

texts:
I would like to know what stealth elements are in Black Mesa and how does the enemy AI detect the player.

Specifically, I would like to know if:

Can enemies detect by sound?

Will weapon sounds (gunfire, grenade explosion, crowbar hit sound) alert them? (even if not hitting them, but are within their earshot)
Will walking or crouch walking lessen sound (compared to sprinting)?

Can enemies detect light levels?

Do enemies detect light from the flashlight (and are you more likely to be detected with the flashlight on)?
Will hiding in dark places work?

Do enemies see behind their backs (i.e. Can you can sneak up on them if their backs are turned to you)?
Does hiding behind objects work (or do enemies see through objects)?
Are enemies alerted forever? (i.e. If they detected you, will they be permanently be on alert for you, or will they go back to their previous routine once you have been out of their sight for some time)
Do enemies alert each other if one of them has sighted you (or is detection, per individual enemy unit)?
Does the enemy notice you if you are near their vicinity (relative to enemy's location) or is enemy detection of the player scripted (fixed), and you can't avoid detection once you are in a certain area?

Yes, I realize I have too many questions. Please bear with me. I just don't want to waste my efforts going all ninja if the enemy will be able to detect me, anyway.

texts:
Pretty much it's a climbing game. The first person to reach a certain height within the game boundaries wins. It's multiplayer so there could be people outside of the game at the specific y-axis as well. I need a command that will detect a player within the radius:

/execute if entity @a[x=244,z=345,distance=..2] run...

AND check if that specific player is ALSO at an exact y-axis:

/execute if entity @a[y=70] run...

If you picture it visually, I want the detection area to be a top-down circle instead of a sphere. Once a player reaches that detection area, it will run a command.
Hope you guys can help! Thanks :)

texts: What is the best opening strategy in Age of Mythology?

texts:
My brother and I are getting back into playing the original Age of Mythology together, with our favorite map being Jotunheim.

He always kicks my butt though, and I think part of it has to do with him being the first to build walls and gates at the holes.  I've tried rushing to build the walls, matching his player, or just saving up gold and food for a big army, but he always destroys my weak walls to build his own and seems to have the upper hand from the very beginning.

I'm wondering, whats the best opening strategy for this game?  How is he always able to build his walls so quickly?

Does it only increase on a kill where I specifically dominated someone with that weapon? Or, can the domination count increase with either of the following circumstances?

Increases on the actual domination, and any subsequent kills thereafter on that player until they exact revenge
Increases if the actual domination just so happened to take place on an assist

texts: Is there a way to display shrinking vanilla world border size in chat?

texts:
I would like to know if it is possible to have my auto message plugin display current world border size.
It will shrink from a diameter of 20000 to 213 at a rate of 34 meters per hour.
So occasionally players should get a message like:
Warning! The world border is shrinking! Worldborder is currently 18354 meters from spawn.
And the number would be in the next message eg. 18320 and gradually getting smaller.

Does anyone know if this even possible? I don't know if auto message plugin can deliver other placeholders than its own.

I am using an automessage by ELCHILEN096 dev.bukkit.org/projects/automessage
If you know any better up to date plugin like this one, or that supports papi and can put any placeholder in the message, if happy to hear one.

EDIT: I have come to a partial solution on this issue.
My current solution is to have automessage tell a message that runs a command "/worldborder get" by the player when clicked the text. also added a permission minecraft.command.worldborder.get to let them run the command.

I am still looking for a placeholder type of result without the player having to click the text to get the information.

texts: I recently picked up an old copy of Ascendancy for DOS (Installed DOSBox to play it). However, As I got farther into the game, I realized I was falling WAY behind in the amount of ships I had, as compared to the AIs. So I go to a planet with open population, but I can't build a ship (and I already have some ships built, so this question doesn't help). I try to build ships on other available planets (free population, a shipyard, and an open space in orbit around the planet), but none of those work either. Am I missing a prerequisite for shipbuilding? I have the most number of colonies, so I know it's not that, but I'm wondering (and something in the back of my head says this is true) if I need to have control of more systems or some other requirement. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have gotten as far as the 25th and final wave, but with only one Core left.  Pretty pathetic.

What is the command line to bind "drop the briefcase"?

bind "t" "?????"

texts: Why is Civilization III crashing on some of my computers?

texts:
I have been unable to get Civilization III to run properly on some of my machines; a Fujitsu U810 and Fujitsu P1630.
I have tried Windows XP SP3 and Vista (both 32-bit) on the U810 and Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit SP1 on the P1630.
I have successfully installed all of the drivers for both these machines and tested against the video drivers provided by Fujitsu as well as the latest drivers from Intel with no differences in result.
I had thought initially that the problem was due to the maximum resolution of the U810 (600 pixels) being less than the minimum resolution required by the game (768 pixels). Attaching an external monitor did not make a difference. The maximum resolution of the P1630 does support 768 pixels but made no difference.
I have tried the original vanilla release installed from CD with and without the latest 1.29f patch and the latest Conquerors release from CD with and without the latest 1.22 patch. I also tried with the GOG release.
The error message is this on Windows XP:

And this on Windows 7 (identical):

I have tried both full-screen exclusive mode as well as full-screen windowed mode with KeepRes=1 in conquests.ini. I have also tried providing explicit Video Mode=1024 and disabling the intro video with PlayIntro=0
Civilization III will work fine on some of my other computers including my modern Ryzen desktop with GeForce or Radeon graphics on Windows 10 but I cannot get it to run on these older machines.
I thought that this might be related to the Intel graphics chipset. However, I found that Intel's own website lists this game (Civilization III: Conquerers) as a supported title for the GMA 945 found in the Fujitsu U810.
Here is a screenshot of the code area where the assertion happens as viewed through a debugger:

I'm not sure where to go from here to debug this further.

The problem is that the exit from the elevator is very warped.  I can shoot portals into the weird warped wall but I can't walk through it.  What is going on?!


texts: How to keep the spawnchunks loaded without generating the nether or end

texts: I'm on a creative server and I have the ability to use cheats, commandblocks, etc. I want to keep the spawn chunks loaded entity processing when no player is online. All solutions I know of work by transferring entities to the nether, the most common one used in iron farms spits poppies through a nether portal every 15 seconds. I'm searching for a solution that doesn't require generating the nether or end in my world.


texts: Switched to new router and now experiencing lag?

texts:
I switched from a Dynex-802.11b/g to a Netgear-802.11b/g/n just yesterday. My router is downstairs because my phone-line upstairs doesn't work very well, but my PS3 is still upstairs (SOCOM: Confrontation is the game with which I am experiencing issues).

I have done everything I can to make sure the connection is solid and have checked the status and it has been as high as 80% and usually lingers at about 60%. I thought about upgrading my bandwidth from 1.5mbs to 7mbs, but I am guessing something is wrong if it worked fine before. The game seems more laggy and my voice chat is choppy. Others seem to receive my voice data fine because I can hear my own feedback clearly from other players (if you are in close proximity to another player and speak, sometimes their volume is loud enough sometimes you can hear yourself).

I wonder if porting forward or setting up DMZ will fix this problem, but I am not sure and don't know quite how to do it. Has anyone else ever experienced this when switching routers? What did you do to fix it?


texts: How do I solve "Not enough free disk space" when patching

texts:
I have a 60GB SSD and a 2TB HDD and the SSD is used for one game, Total War: Warhammer(TWW), which takes up 34GB. To clarify, the SSD have ~55GB of usable space and the only thing on it is TWW á 34GB. This gives me ~22GB of free space on the SSD. Steam is installed on the HDD and I'm on Windows 7 64-bit system. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this but how TWW's patching work is that it needs to allocate the entire space of the game so that it can open each file and rewrite the code.

The issue is that each time TWW needs to patch itself it tries to allocate additional 34GB which I don't have on the SSD. Steam tells me "there is not enough free disk space".
Instead, I've solved the issue by manually moving the game to the HDD and then back again to the SSD every time a patch is up, so it downloads the patch on the HDD then I move the game back to the SSD.

I would like to find an automatic patching of the game so I don't have to manually move the game between drives/discs every time there is a new patch. Ideally, the game would stay on the SSD and the download and patching would happen from the HDD so that it allocates the space on the HDD instead.

Can it be solved by removing the association to the library on the SSD for Steam and create a link that leads to the game folder on the SSD? I'd think that this way, Steam would download the patch on the HDD and then update the files on the SSD thinking that Steam would still be working on the HDD. Is this the best way to do it or does it involve future problems with patching TWW?

My question touches the concept of the answer to this question, "How can I move Steam games to another disk?", asked in 2010. In my case, I wouldn't use Steam Mover since I would only need the "mklink"-command but as described in the previous paragraph is this a bad idea and should I stay with my current solution?


texts: How do you get the gear in the overworld?

texts: I've acquired two of the three years I need from Gerudo Village but still need a third. This one in particular is taunting me… I see a relatively easy solution using hover boots, but I can't find any. I've got the hookshot, the power gauntlets, the feather, etc., but this year still eludes me.
