texts: Is there any way to remove a permanent bounty in Skyrim?

texts: I have basically made my Skyrim save unplayable, I had downloaded the Civil War Overhaul and done the first set up quests up until the defence of Whiterun. I did some thing that broke the quest chain and finally installed the mod and carried on with the standard civil war until I realized I was being instantly attacked in every Stormcloak city. I've attempted to yield, pay the bounty in console, set my overall bounty to 0 but absolutely nothing works. Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this problem with a mod/command?

texts: How do I fill multiple chests with hoppers?

texts:
I have a mob spawner (the KaspersMC type, a 9*9*5 room that uses water to push mobs down a hole.)

At the bottom of the drop hole I have a hopper feeding a double chest. So when I kill the mobs all their drops go into the hopper, and then into the double chest.

How can I expand this to include more than one double chest?

Here's an image of what I want to do.  This obviously doesn't work.

I don't care what order stuff fills.  I don't care about sorting. I don't care if the hoppers store stuff (so long as that doesn't block anything.)

This is on the "pc" version, offline, no mods, not a server, vanilla etc.

texts:
So I saw this question: Is it possible to solo Baron Nashor? but I did not see a question that was about soloing the Rift Herald.

Is it possible to solo him? So far I have not had any luck in normal games as he feels a lot stronger then a newly spawned Baron. I thought that maybe a Shaco could use his clone to trigger the true damage but that didn't work out too well due to being too squishy.

I tried some other champions in a custom game where I could get fed quickly. Shyvana can't do it as the Herald hits too hard. Same goes for Yi. Jax did quite well but just like the previous ones he dies too quickly against the Herald. Kindred doesn't work because the Rift Herald takes reduced ranged damage.

Getting armor/hp won't work either as you can't tank the Herald at all. So to me it seems the Herald is impossible to solo.

texts: How do you unlock the "Khaaan!" achievement in Civ 5?

texts:
I played through the 100 turns of a Mongol scenario and didn't conquer the number of civs I was supposed to (5 for King in my case). But I didn't get the "Khaaan!" achievement either ("Run out of time to beat the Mongol scenario").

Does anyone know if it's bugged, or if there's a trick to unlocking it? I googled around a bit but wasn't able to find an answer. I'm not using any mods and I had an active Internet connection when I finished the game, can't think of anything else that would prevent it.

Right now Steam says 0.9% folks have unlocked it: http://steamcommunity.com/stats/CivV/achievements/


texts: PocketMine-MP installation not completing connections

texts:
I've previously installed Pocketmine on my OS X machine and had no trouble with Minecraft PE clients connecting to it on the local area WiFi and also over the internet.

Yesterday I installed the current version of Pocketmine-MP on a Raspberry PI and also on the same OS X machine that I'd previously had success with. When I run the server, it identifies itself with the version line:

  This server is running PocketMine-MP version 1.4.1-980 "絶好(Zekkou)ケーキ(Cake)" (API 1.11.0)

However, in the Minecraft PE server list, neither of these local servers show a green light to the right, where as other servers on the internet do.

When I try to connect to either of these servers from a Minecraft PE client, the connection does manage to "partially" connect. First "Generating World" and "Locating Server" are shown, and then after a couple of seconds, the "Cancel" button is added.

If I hit the "Cancel" button, then I get a line in the server's log:

  09:17:07 [INFO] [/80.44.205.83:54232] logged out due to client disconnect

So some kind of connection is being started but not completing.

Also, if I stop the servers, then the connection immediately fails and the client shows an error message.

My player name is "tobi-bobo" (no spaces). I've also tried just "tobi". I noticed that players/ remains empty. No files created for the name I connect with.

These is server.properties in full:

I've tried a few Minecraft PE clients running Minecraft PE 0.11.1: An iPhone 5 and an iPad. They can connect to other servers on the internet no problem, but not my PocketMine installations.

I've tried a direct connection within the LAN, and also by using noip – the results are the same – it doesn't complete the connection, but I do get a disconnect message in the server log.

Also, when the Mistress uses the torture chamber herself does she get anything from using the devices?  Or is it just like a Casino and it is 'her' way of 'having fun' when not fighting?


texts:
As I understand this is a somewhat common issue; but common fixes aren't helping. Minecraft is currently not allowing me to connect to any servers. It does not appear to be a firewall issue as disabling the firewall does not change results, I added a rule to the firewall also, but could have easily messed that up. I believe the issue is due to a VPN which enables a firewall when it protects my network. I have tried to disable the VPN and even uninstalled it to no benefit. I have tried restarting my internet and connecting to a different internet. Nothing helps. I am incredibly not tech savvy pls help.

Edit: tried changing versions, which I assume would avoid the issue listed in this very similar post: How to solve the "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information" error on Minecraft?, that is to taken with a grain of salt however this is so very not my forte.

texts:
I’ve just finished The Grand Palace as Emily without killing anybody (as confirmed by the kill count at the end of the mission). Despite this, I encountered several dead people in the Palace itself; there may have been more but I distinctly remember three:

A dead lady in the maze-like shrubbery between the Palace and the sea shore, near to a man and a woman playing a game involving hitting a bucket with balls (but hidden from their view).
A dead man lying in his own (?) blood on the floor at the steps in the throne room.
A dead woman in a somewhat secluded room lying on a round divan in the company of two other women. Just next to her there’s a bone charm.

This isn’t counting the two dead criminals who have been used for target practice by some of the Nobles.

I understand that I am arriving just after a rather lavish party and there are many drunk and sleepy revellers about. But why are some dead? Who/what killed them? As far as I can tell they were dead when I arrived — I didn’t trigger their deaths in any way. And — except for the third one — I cannot find any mention of the dead people online, in walkthroughs etc., and they seemed very out of place in an otherwise excellently designed level.

texts: The resolution of annoying 60 fps cap - vertical sync adaptation

texts:
"If the monitor can't go past 60hz, then it won't go past it.
V-sync leaves your computer at a cap of 60FPS. Your eyes won't notice anything past that, so there's absolutely no reason not to. "

Question scope is how to increase FPS while using Vertical Synchronization from 60 fps to 100 fps.

We are talking about difference between 60 fps - 100 fps, not past 100 which my eyes finally dont care.

Context System(just to state that everything fine here)

GTX680 ; i7; 12GB RAM

Resolution by increasing refresh rate of the monitor

I can create custom resolution in the NVDIA control panel and give new refresh rate to the monitor. Hypothetically this should result say to increase in FPS with Vertical Sync ON as GPU should increase the fps to match the monitor refresh rate.

However I do not know the consequences of doing this, whether this can deal some damage to monitor?

And whether monitor is actually able to surpass its cap, or hardware itself is locked to the damn wretched 60 hz?

Resolution by buying new monitor

Are there monitors like CRT in 90's which have refresh rate say around 120 hz but being LED?

Resolution by applying alternative variant of vertical sync

I am aware of existence of these alternative techniques(like triple-buffering or sort of - maybe incorrect though), but not sure the names or the way they operate so I leave this for you dear experts to suggest me.

texts: How to power a row of droppers efficiently from side or bottom?

texts:
I've made a "conveyor belt" of droppers to transport goodies from mob grinder to a conveniently placed chest. I think the design is extremely inefficient though.

The vertical line is very neat: just a tower of droppers with a straightforward torch - block sequence next to it. The horizontal one though...

The "clock" out of two repeaters is fairly standard, Then follows one working as a diode so that prevents signal from traveling back, when I activate the switch that stops the conveyor (only pulsed signal makes it run, a constant "on" keeps droppers inactive). And then comes the messy part.

The main "supply" line runs two blocks away from the line of droppers (I used pistons here instead because the simulator doesn't support droppers, but it makes no difference). Then every other block it separates and connects to a block below the dropper, and each of these has a redstone torch on a side. I believe it's inefficient both space and redstone use wise - and the bend where the last dropper of the horizontal line feeds the items up, is a total mess (I didn't even include it here) - I didn't even include it here but I think it involves at least 5 pieces of redstone circling way away from the rest to avoid short-circuits and feedback from the first torch in the tower conducting power up.

I realize probably running the line of redstone through the top side of the droppers would be most efficient, but that's not viable in my case because there's a bunch of infrastructure over the surface of the droppers - a hopper feeding the first of them, rocks surrounding the grinder, another dropper where the line turns upwards, and so on. The signal must be pulsed - just providing continuous signal freezes the transport.

So how can I replace this design with something more efficient in terms of material and space usage? How do I make a bend to supply the vertical line?

EDIT:
Per request - a rough schematics - vertical bisection (a screenshot wouldn't help, it's really a mess with multi-layer schematics in a sky mob spawner)

V - hopper
D - dropper (always aimed at the next neighbor.
# - block
[] - chest (double)
~ - water
H - ladder

I skip all the redstone.

The 'home' room is located at optimal distance from the spawner to keep monsters outside no-spawn sphere around the player, but within 'monster can move' sphere. The facility can be easily converted between the monsters dying at the bottom of the pit by themselves for item farm or surviving the fall with half a heart of health for XP grinding.

This works great for mobs apart from endermen. I never get a single one. I know it is high enough to enable them to spawn but according to the wiki, they will teleport when they come into contact with water unless they are on fire. I suspect they are teleporting out to somewhere although I do not know where!

What can I do to ensure they are spawning and can anyone suggest how to get them moved into the centre 'drop' hole?


texts: Is it possible in Fallout 4 to get the Finch and Abernathy kids together?

texts:
After rescuing Jake Finch from Saugus Ironworks during the quest "Out of the Fire", and then convincing him to go back to his family, his mother Abigail can be overheard telling him that he needs to settle down and find a wife. She then asks about "that nice Abernathy girl" or something to that effect, apparently referring to Lucy Abernathy.

I've played through the game five times now, but haven't found any way to help these two hook up. I'm guessing Abigail's comment was just some neat filler dialogue that made the world more immersive, but for some reason I really like the idea of helping these two young people meet.

Is it possible in Fallout 4 to play match-maker between Jake  Finch and Lucy Abernathy?

texts: Civ V - Longbowman doesn't have range 3 or strength 18

texts:
I am playing Civ V installed from Steam on my ubuntu 14.04 OS.

As I've found everywhere on the internet (wiki), the longbowman in Civ V should have a range of 3, but in my game it has a regular range of 2. See the snapshots.

Does anyone know if there is a reason why my longbowman would have a range of 2 instead of 3? Is there a tech that I need? Or does the unit need to be promoted?

texts:
This problem has been bugging me for the best part of half a year now, resulting in me not being able to play one of my favourite games. It all happened around the time I got the DLC for Fall Of The Samurai.

Problem

Click on icon to launch Total War Shogun 2 in Steam
Game asks to start in Direct X mode (Dx9 or Dx10 is enabled)
Select either one and the game loads to the Loading / Legal screen.
Wait for 10 minutes and the game is still on that screen.
Ctrl+Alt+Del to desktop and see that "Shogun 2 is not responding" in task manager.

Computer Specs
(DxDiag)

http://pastebin.com/fi77nTaf

Things I have tried

Updated Sound and Graphics drivers
Updated BIOS for motherboard to latest version (1.2)
Reinstalled Shogun 2 on steam
Verified Game integrity on steam
Changed graphics cards
Searched Registry for "Incredibar" malware , not found on system
Disabled SLI on Nvidia control panel

All of these have not solved my problem.

I am really running out of ideas what to do here. It makes no sense why this does not work.

Any help would be appreciated!

I didn't trade it. I only have one other cart and it only has Hydreigon as Seen, not Caught, so it can't be there.
I didn't release it. I never release Pokémon.
It can't have evolved. Hydreigon is the final evolution of its line.
I don't think I traded it to friends or online.
I don't think there are any in-game trades that accept Hydreigon, but I could be wrong.
It's not tucked in to the Dream World.
It's not in the Battle Box.

texts: How to play Multiplayer game in Age of Empires II: Age of King? With an application or from the game?


texts:
I am new to EU4 (playing the demo right not) and I am confused about several things:

1) What determines how much money is kept in a node? Can this be changed?

2) Suppose my home port is A, which recieves trade from B, which recieves trade from C. If I send a merchant to C, will he know to transfer trade towards B? What if there are multiple indirect routes from C to A? Will he optimize automatically?

3) Does backflow of trade power work exactly as trade steering, or is there anything different about it? Suppose again that my capital is in A, but now trade flow from A to B to C. If I send back trade power from C to B but I don't have a merchant in B, is it completely useless?

4) If I have trade power in my non-capital node but I do not send any merchant to collect trade, do I get any money from that node?

Thank you.

texts: How do I specify my frame rate for an old game I installed via CD?

texts:
Just for fun I installed Port Royale 2 onto my computer from the original CD. Needless to say my current computer is much faster than the computer I had when I originally bought the game. The game plays fine on my Windows 10 box, but it has an extremely high scroll speed both with the mouse and using arrow keys. I did some research and it looks like someone with the Steam version of the game had a similar problem. The ended up solving their own problem like so:

  Solved by forcing V-sync to 30 FPS through Nvidia control panel for this application ("adaptive half refresh rate"). Game must also be configured to "Execute in full screen" or the setting will not have an effect.

I also have an Nvidia video card installed, but I can't figure out where/how to specify the frame rate. I tried the Nvidia Control Panel in my system tray but it was just generic graphics card stuff without allowing me to specify application specific settings. I also installed the "GeForce Experience" control panel since that does offer game specific tuning. Unfortunately the GeForce Experience control panel doesn't pick up the game even when I point it to the install location. I assume this is because I installed it via CD instead of via something like Steam like the person who was apparently able to specify the frame rate. I don't really have a way to check this though because the few recent games I own were purchased via Steam.

So my question is how do I force 30 FPS for this game or fix the scroll rate problem a different way?

I don't know if it matters but I have a GeForce GTX  780 video card, and am running Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit.

texts: Can Baton Passed stats be chained from one Pokemon, to another, and so on?

texts:
Im working on a little strategy to make my Mega Gallade a tank and Baton Pass plays a huge role in it. But I was wondering, if I use Baton Pass with one Pokemon to a second Pokemon and the second Pokemon uses Baton Pass, will every stat increase still be passed on?

For example, I send out Blaziken first and use Protect which guarantees one Speed Boost. I then use Bulk Up and take a hit, and Speed Boost comes again.

With +2 speed, I baton pass to Togekiss, which ends up with the +1 Attack, +1 Defense and +2 Speed.

I use Agility and get another +2 Speed, making it +4. I then take a hit, but then Baton Pass to Gallade. Would Gallade still have the +1 Attack ,+1 Defense and +2 Speed from the Blaziken?

And say I use Togekiss's Baton Pass AGAIN and pass it to Umbreon first, which uses Swords Dance/Agility and Baton Passes to Gallade. Would the chain of stat increases continue? I'm sorry if I'm being stupid and there's an obvious answer to this.

At the very beginning of the game, I didn't have much trouble catching any fish: put the bobber in the water, wait for the fish to bite hard enough for the bobber to dip under the surface, press A. Not too complicated. However, in the few days since, I've had noticeably worse luck with my fishing: the fish will quite often escape when I attempt to reel it in, despite the fact that as far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything different. When I'm depending on fishing for my income to some extent, it can be a little frustrating.

Am I doing something wrong, or do fish just sometimes escape, even when you use the proper timing? Is there anything I can do to increase my success rate with fishing?

texts: Illustrated list of differences between the arcade and NES versions of Super Mario Bros

texts:
In 1986, Nintendo released Vs. Super Mario Bros., an arcade version of its popular Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.  The two versions are largely identical, the biggest difference being that six of the game's 32 level maps were replaced.  Smaller differences include the arcade operator's ability to adjust the number of starting lives, the number of coins required for a bonus life, and the speed of the countdown timer.  There were also various minor changes to the remaining 26 level maps.

Some (but not all) of these minor differences in the level maps are discussed in prose in the Super Mario Wiki.  Is there an illustrated guide showing all the differences, including their precise locations, for those levels that appear in both the arcade and console versions?  I'm particularly interested in seeing which coin boxes, power-ups, and 1-ups were moved, changed, or removed altogether.

(P.S. I am also wondering if it is possible to cure lycanthropy, aka being a Werewolf, after having taken over Whiterun. I know there is a way that involves one of the last Companions quests, hence why I asked if I could still finish that quest line after taking over Whiterun.)

texts:
[This might be a bit off-topic, but I'm not sure where it would be a better fit]

I would like to control my uC with a wireless XB360 Gamepad.
The at90usb1287 has a usb 2.0 low/full speed host controller (no high speed).

Does anyone know which speed the receiver requires? The only mention I could find on various sites / datasheets was "powered usb 2 port".

(I don't own a receiver, so I can't test it myself, unfortunately.)

For the software side, I plan to use LUFA.
Since there are already drivers for Linux / Arduino, where I can take a look at the protocol, that should be doable.

texts: How can I enable mods in Cities Skylines?

texts:
I am hoping not to sound too much of a nitwit, but I am completely not understanding how mods are supposed to work on Cities Skylines (or Steam at all for that matter). I find confusing information: some sites telling me to download files (which ones?) some hinting towards subscribing to be enough (I guess...)
To be a little more specific, all I want is to be able to use the right mouse button to pan in the game. That's it. I found this mod that supposedly does that, but there is nothing I can download, so I subscribed, and started the game. Nothing. Nowhere anything about mods at all in the game.
Another option would be this mod, which seems to be a little more recent, but same problems apply here.
In short, how do I install mods (or manage them) in Cities: Skylines?

texts: Minecraft command execute problem + 1.9 scoreboard tag problem

texts:
I'm trying to make a kit pvp map in vanilla Minecraft, but I ran into a problem. I want specific people to get a certain effect. So I got a /testfor command:

/testfor @a{SelectedItemSlot:0,Inventory:[{Slot:0b,tag:{display:{Name:"Fire Wand"}}}]}

This command tests if any person has this specified item name in slot 0. It then turns on a comparator which activates the second command once it finds that person:

/execute @p ~ ~ ~ summon Fireball ~2 ~1 ~ {ExplosivePower:10,direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}

How can I specify this command to the person holding the named item?

So Skylinerw suggested this command which seems to solve all my problems!

  You have to use a command to apply a label to the player based on
  their data rather than using /testfor. For example, /scoreboard
  can assign a label:

/scoreboard players tag @a[tag=HasItem] remove HasItem
/scoreboard players tag @a[tag=!HasItem] add HasItem {SelectedItemSlot:0,Inventory:[{Slot:0b,tag:{display:{Name:"Fire Wand"}}}]}

  And you'd then target players based on their label. The correct tag
  for fireball damage is ExplosionPower:

/execute @a[tag=HasItem] ~ ~ ~ /summon Fireball ~2 ~1 ~ {ExplosionPower:10,direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}

I thought this is really cool! But how does the scoreboard command activate the execute command? Is it with a comparator? Do both command blocks have to be on a clock?

I and a friend play minecraft, and with the recent 1.3.1 release we can now open our games to LAN ^_^

Or we can sometimes, sometimes we can't, sometimes we can, it's quite confusing, and we're not sure why it's happening.

See if I open my minecraft game to LAN for people to connect, it says in chat they can connect on IP:port. Sometimes this IP takes the form 5.xx.etc... which is my hamachi IP at the time. When this happens my friend also on Hamachi can connect as expected.

Sometimes however it says 192.168.0.x and he cannot connect, because minecraft is listening on the wrong network adaptor. This also happens on his machine sometimes. We're not sure why it happens sometimes and not others.

How do we fix or control this? We've had the issue on both OS X and Windows 7.

We initially had it trying to connect a macbook air to a PC running windows 7. Apparently Minecraft had picked up the virtualbox network adaptor and had decided to start listening on that, rather than the local LAN. Disabling that adaptor fixed the issue, but disabling the internet will render the Hamachi adaptor unusable.

I would have to imagine it's somewhere if I "stored" cause it would've otherwise said discard (right?...right!?).

I tried storing my tai chi palm strike too just to pay extra close attention and maybe see where it goes or see if with both finishers stored, something would happen. With no luck, I'm out of options but to come here because searching through google is not helping at all.


texts: Can you get a hextech chest on a S rating champ?

texts:
To be more specific, if I got an S rating on a champ and am not eligible to get a chest, will I get a chest if I get an S rating on the same champ when I am able to get a chest again.

Edit: What I mean by not eligible is that I have already received 4 chest for the month and now I get an S rating on say Udyr. Next month can I get a chest with the same champ I previously got an S rating on and didn't receive a chest (due to all 4 received for the previous month). I understand I would need to get an S rating again for this champ.

This is specific to earning an S rating solo and whether you can still earn a chest at a later stage because you didn't receive any chest the first time because all chests were already used previously.

texts: Why am I getting dropped from multiplayer to main menu?

texts:
Having been a long time player of Diablo 3 on PC, I bought the game on PS4 a few days ago for some sofa gaming.

My friend invited me to his game, so I created a character and joined the party. I could see thier characters in the lobby, so I hit 'Enter game' loaded for a few seconds, and then appeared in game. I could run around as normal, but then I was immediatly back at the main menu. Strange I thought, I didn't get an error or anything.

I tried again, and roughly 30 seconds after joining the game, I find myself back at the main menu. Tried a number more times, and had the same issue.

I tried hosting a game and had my friends join that one, which did actually work just fine.

I've spent some time trying to find out what this issue might be, but most of the forum posts are very old, or on the wrong platform. My first assumption is that the PS4 version, uses different ports, which might need to be forwarded from my router. I don't, however, know these ports.

So my question is multifaceted, how can I fix this disconnection issue, and what multiplayer ports does Diablo 3 on PS4 use? If indeed the ports are at all relevant.

Incarna has dragged me back into EVE from a long hiatus.  When I played before, I was a total carebear miner.  I want to start fresh and get into the world of PvP, but I'm unsure of where to start.

I've tried some of the combat mission lines, but they're geared towards completely new players.  I just park my cruiser and wait for my drones to take out the enemies while I get a snack.  Needless to say, this is extremely boring.  It's just as bad as the high-sec mining I used to do!

I feel as if I'm "supposed" to join a corporation to get trained somehow, but I would really rather be a solo pilot.  I don't think most corporations will take very kindly to me joining just to get some free tips and tricks, and then promptly leaving.

Charging into low-sec with a cheap ship feels like a suicide run, and I don't think I'll actually learn anything from it.

In short, what's the best way for a long-time EVE player to get into PvP?

healing and I'm unable too.

Lvl right now is 55 but I'm going till 85, but do enjoy doing pvp along the way.

Are there any specific tactics for dealing with healers?

Assuming I'm 1v1 against a random healer in a battleground, and no one else interferes.

texts: Is there something weird about the Cannery?

texts:
The Cannery building is unique in Tropico 3 in that it can take several different kinds of raw material - fish, coffee and pineapple. I've always assumed that it accepts all of those, all of the time, and produces canned goods for export. However I've noticed a couple of times that even when I have producers of all of those raw materials (Fisherman's Wharf, Pineapple Farm, Coffee Farm) the Cannery ends up without stored input much more often than I would expect. Is there something odd about the way the Cannery works, such as maybe only accepting the same kind of raw material that it has input stockpiled?

Relatedly, there is an improvement that only applies to coffee. Does anyone know how that is calculated? Does it have an effect on anything else canned?

texts: How Legendary is a Legendary Treasure Site

texts:
When running around on the map I keep finding "Treasure Sites". For example a Ziggurat or a Forbidden Sanctum. I know that you can only use a single army stack to conquer the monsters that await you within. But since you can't see what armies are inside I have no idea what kind of difficulty encounter I'll end up running into.

They have an indication of difficulty, for example: "Legendary", "Mythical" and "Epic".
What other difficulty Treasure Sites exist and what tier of armies can I expect in these Treasure Sites?

texts:
In most Final Fantasy games, your characters need to meet a special condition in order to increase their damage further than the base limit. In Final Fantasy X, your weapon required Break Damage Limit customization; in Final Fantasy XIII, you required a Tier 3 upgraded weapon; so on, so forth.

In Final Fantasy XV, you can achieve Break Damage Limit for Techniques and Link-Strikes via the Ascension Skill Tree for 999 AP. I looked through the different trees, but I did not an option for Break Damage Limit on standard attacks.

How do I achieve Break Damage Limit on standard attacks? Do I need a special weapon or accessory?

I just had a game of Random Draft and wanted to repick Phantom Lancer after Earthshaker and Bloodseeker were picked against us. I know that in some game modes such as All Random you can repick.

Now, I just checked the Liquipedia and Gamepedia, neither has an article on repicking, nor lists whether repicking is possible for each mode in the Game Mode.

Which game modes in DotA2 allow repicking?


texts: Selecting where to draw materials to build from

texts:
So as we all know weight and storage is (as of yet) still an issue in fallout 76. The best way to manage this (in my humble opinion) is to scrap all the items you find, craft the scrapped items into bulk variants, store those bulk variants in your stash and keep the rest of the junk items on your person. As most people probably will I am running max level pack-rat so storing junk and scrapped junk on myself costs less weight then storing it.

Now for my question, I'm a big fan of the base building aspect but seeing as the turning items into bulk variants costs quite a bit of plastic and other materials I would like to prioritize taking the items from my inventory if possible.

Is there a way to set this?
How is this by default?
Is it possible to completely ignore the bulk items in your stash?

texts: Is there a way to fix the bug of the Unseen Visions quest?

texts:
In Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition I'm doing the vampire DLC. Now I have to attract seven moths in the Ancestor Gland for the quest Unseen Visions. Unfortunately, the moths are not being collected after I've taken the canticle bark from the tree. I've been walking to the swarms and standing in them for long times. But nothing seems to trigger that the counter goes up.

What's the name of the song that plays throughout the power plant overworld?  As heard starting here.

It's a pretty catchy beat, but the track listing that usually shows up during matches doesn't show up when entering this zone.  The inaudible chatter in the background led me to think it was a Splatoon song but after listening to the SSBU Splatoon soundtracks on YT I can't seem to find anything that resembles it.  There's simply way too many tracks for me to listen through to figure out where this is from. Is it from a Megaman track since the stage seems to be staged like a Megaman level?

texts: Is there a legitimate way to get the sword near the middle of the Ancient Maze in Arcanum?

texts:
So I was playing Arcanum, and I heard rumor of the Ancient Maze to the northwest of Dernholm from the townsfolk. Once I found it, I managed to clear it out and loot everything except for one rather strange item.

There appears to be a sword just lying on the ground in the middle of the maze, surrounded on all four sides by an impenetrable wall. I tried to look for weak spots in the wall, use College of Force spells, nothing.

I tried reading through this thread on House of Lords, which is a bit hard to follow because they don't really pay much attention to grammar, but from what I can make out the only way to get at it is to glitch through a wall. There is some mention of teleportation, but I don't have that spell, so I'm unsure of how it works. From the thread, teleportation doesn't appear to be the answer to this puzzle, however.

My question is whether anyone has ever solved this puzzle or found a legitimate way to obtain the sword. Was the sword deliberately made unobtainable, or is there some sort of hard to guess secret?

texts: Serious lag issues with Deus Ex: Human Revolution

texts:
Just had a new custom rig built. It has dual Radeon 6970 2GB running in crossfire and AMD's FX-8150 CPU 8 core processer. I've got 8G of ram.

This game is running horribly with this set up. I don't know what's wrong but unless I'm missing something I should be able to run this game maxed out with no issues.

However, when I click off all the bells and wistles (v-sync, triple buffering, etc) and turn the resolution down to minimal, it is still the laggiest thing I've ever witnessed.

Even the OPTION MENUS LAG.

So bottom line, no part of this game runs as it was meant to and I have no clue why. If anyone on here can offer an explanation it would be much appreciated. I loved Deus Ex and was a fan of invisible war as well and was really looking forward to playing this. It's one of the reasons I threw up the money to buy the rig I described. Annnnd now it looks like I might as well have bought an E-machine...


texts: How do I get the maximum amount of Dark Essence out of my kills?

texts:
While playing, I noticed that different ways of killing the maybe-not-quite-innocent net me different amounts of Dark Essence.

For example, simply shooting a guy seems to be worth less Essence than straight-up brutalizing him with an execution move, but doing so doesn't allow me to eat his heart, which is also worth bonus Essence.

What should I consider if I want the maximum amount of Essence, and thus, upgrades, out of my playthrough?

texts: What's the point of the archangel armor's "flight" capability in Xcom?

texts:
I have a bunch of soldiers who are lucky enough to have gotten Archangel armor for christmas this year.

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to use flight to my advantage.

The game's quite clear that activating flight doesn't convey any elevation bonus
It doesn't seem to improve sight lines meaningfully, which isn't surprising how little it elevates you
I can't use it to get up anywhere high

Is it really just for avoiding having to walk around low obstacles? Seems a bit weak for how cool it looks and expensive it is.

I feel like I'm missing something.

Note that I don't have "advanced flight" yet.  And I get that once I do, it will add capabilities, but I'm struggling to figure out what basic flight is actually good for, other than making me stress about fuel consumption.

texts: How are people playing betas before they come out?

texts:
Last night I noticed I had a friend playing the Gears of War 3 Beta and was playing team death match (I don't know where he came from just a random off of Xbox live). I messaged him over and over again trying to find out how this was possible but he never responded. I searched online for a good 45 minutes and NOTHING just that the beta starts the 18th for Bulletstorm Epic edition owners and the 25th for the rest of us. I honestly gave up and just figured maybe he knows someone important or something.

However today one of my personal friends said he saw a person online playing it as well. He investigated further and determined there is 90MB update when you log into bulletstorm and now the Gears of War 3 beta icon is lit up. However when he tries to launch it he receives a message that it won't be available until the 18th. I understand that officially it won't be available until the 18th but I still want to know how this is possible. Did they hack it? are we both crazy? I guess it's also possible we both know people that work at Epic?

How is it possible for people to play betas before they come out? I have seen people playing full games before they release due to them working in retail ect.. but what about betas?


texts:
Every 10 seconds or so, the game freezes for about 0.2-0.5 seconds while reporting to run on constant 62.50 FPS. I'm running Win10, here's what I've tried:

"OBS-fix", setting the graphics processor in the control panel to either integrated or GPU
Setting the graphics processor in the Nvidia control panel
Running in compatibility mode
Adjusting high DPI settings
Adding the DX8/DX9 compatibility dll to the game folder

Task manager reports a spike in CPU usage when the freeze happens (around +10% usage). Also unlike Th7 (which is running fine for me), Th6 doesn't use the graphics card (GPU1) and uses integrated graphics (GPU0) instead; only sometimes the GPU1 usage spikes to 15%. These spikes are sometimes at the same time as the lag, sometimes not.
Note that Th6 is the only game to have this issue and that the same game files worked on my old laptop that also ran Win10 just fine.
Is there any fix or option that I'm not aware of that can help? Thanks in advance!

texts: Do you get Human form back for helping as a White Phantom?

texts:
Back in Dark Souls, being a white phantom that helped to kill a boss gave you a significant amount of reward.  Not only did you get the souls of the monsters you helped to kill, you got half the souls of the boss you killed, a sun token if you had a person from that covenant, and you got humanity for your troubles.  At least I'm pretty sure that those were the benefits.

Now, in Dark Souls 2, it seems you still get tokens (either sunlight or fidelity), but you don't always get your humanity back.  There were a number of times I remember finishing a boss with a group of people and I would go from hollow to human.  There were other times that I stayed hollow.

From what research I did on the internet, it sounds like FromSoftware didn't intend you to get humanity back from helping to kill a boss, or even beating a boss in your own game session.  So, that leaves Human Effigies the only way of going back to human.  And with them being a very limited commodity, I question if there will be enough for one play-through in the game.

So, is this really the case?

texts:
I decided to try the Gwent tournament early in the game, despite that it was marked with a pretty high level. Unfortunately I found now why exactly a high level is recommended for this quest, and I'm stuck.

Finneas doesn't like to lose and starts a fist fight right after the game. As he's at a much, much higher level than me, I lost every time I tried it so far. I can't block all of his attacks, unlike with the much lower level opponents I fought so far in fist fights.

Any tips on fist fighting in general, or this specific enemy? I really don't want to abort the entire quest and reload due to this.

texts: How can I bring zombies down to one-punch kills in Minecraft?

texts:
There's something about zombies in Minecraft that if you merely drop them down 23 blocks for the fall damage, they take two punches to kill, rather than one punch like other mobs. (23 ½ is the same, and 24 blocks will simply kill them.) I’ve heard that this is due to zombies having “armor” (not visible armor, evidently) that has to be broken first (or perhaps it has something to do with the effects of rounding on armor damage reduction).

How can I automatically soften up the zombies a little bit more so that they only take one punch to kill, preferably in a way which ends in a drop of at least 11 blocks?

The mechanism must be fully automatic and accept zombies arriving through a water stream. It's OK if the occasional real-visible-armor-carrying zombie still takes extra hits.

What doesn't work:

Fall damage and suffocation damage seem not to be able to “remove the armor”: I have not found any combination of two falling stages, or 1 tick of suffocation followed by falling, which will result in a one-punch kill. (If you have found such a combination then I'd love to see an answer with a complete design to demonstrate it!)

There is the possibility of dropping mobs through lava, then water, which seems like it should work, but has the disadvantage that in order to prevent the mobs from swimming up in the liquids (thus dying to lava, or getting stuck in water), a simple tube would have to have, in order: a long drop, a lava block, (another long drop? not sure), a water block, and finally another long drop to the collection pad. This extreme height would make my underground zombie trap's plumbing poke up into my above-ground buildings.

My question is, are jungle biomes around in the Minecraft version of the xbox360? It’s the FIRST edition of the game not the story mode or anything. Also, I have no idea how the seed generator works, nor do I want to use it- nor do I think I can, I don’t have internet. I just want to know if jungles are even in the game so I won’t go looking for something that isn’t there.

I noticed that Krieg the Psycho has a skill that increases Fire Rate (Embrace the Pain), on the Mania skill tree (which focuses on improving the Buzz Axe Rampage action skill). Embrace the Pain increases Fire Rate when the shields are down.

What about the regular melee attack (V, by default on the PC) by all the playable characters (including Krieg, when non-Buzz Axe Rampaging)?

And what about items (e.g. class mods or relics) that increase Fire Rate? Will they also affect normal melee attack speed or the Buzz Axe Rampage skill attack speed (both melee and when the axe is thrown)?

texts: Once Containment bugs, can College of Winterhold questline be completed

texts:
Don't know if it's necessary to put this here, but: spoilers ahead!

So I've run into the bug on the Containment quest, whereby it doesn't trigger after the completion of Revealing the Unseen quest. After the explosion caused by Ancano, I was asked to find the Arch-Mage, but the Containment quest never came up. I found his body in the courtyard, but everyone in the college is just going about their business as if nothing happened...

After spending a great deal of time looking around the web, there seem to be 2 likely causes of this:

A dragon is in the area (this was the case, because as soon as I left the college, it swooped down)
There were uncompleted side quests for other college members (this was also the case - I had 2 that I had not completed)

I also found a command to start the quest after Containment (I had played a good 6+ hours before this happened & all the autosaves got overwritten as I was running around trying to figure out who I should speak to, so can't load up an old one). I did try starting Containment (Quest ID: MG05),  but since this ID is before Revealing the Unseen  (Quest ID: MG06) this does not appear to work. The following commands will skip Containment & start the next quest:

setstage MG07 0
player.additem 000a34f8 1
player.additem 000f1b33 1

My question is, has anyone had this issue & used the above commands to continue the quest line? By using this command, will the quest chain just carry on as normal, or am I going to run into something else further down the line? If I do, I'd rather not waste the time...

texts: Why is the victory/defeat screen sometimes in color and sometimes desaturated?

texts:
Sometimes the victory/defeat screen has the game board behind it in full color:

Sometimes the game board is desaturated, almost but not quite grayscale:

(All screenshots are from playing a Tavern Brawl on the Android version of Hearthstone; the fourth is from a phone instead of a tablet hence the layout variation, but this doesn't seem to account for the difference.)

What's the logic behind this?

Disproven hypotheses:

It can't be exclusively whether you won or lost; as illustrated above all four combinations are possible.
It can't be exclusively "gray if you get a 10 gold reward", because the fourth screenshot contradicts that.
It can't depend on the battlefield theme because all four above are the same one.
It can't be "gray if you got any kind of reward", because I've gotten quest rewards with a colorful screen (in Casual) and been defeated with no rewards with a gray screen (in Arena).

I've restarted playing and can't find my saves anywhere. I have never played any of the DLCs. Are the DLCs scaling? is there a max level to enjoy? I'm playing through from level 1, at 12 now.

Where can I find level range details on the new areas since I can warp to them with the travel system already?


texts: Reproducing original Mario levels in Mario Maker?

texts: In Super Mario Maker, with all the extra changes and removed elements, is it possible to create a level that is exactly like an original level in Super Mario Bros 1, 3, Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros Wii? I can accept not having the exact same backgrounds, as that would not affect game play.


texts:
This page suggests that the wizard can use:

Axes
Daggers
Maces
Spears
Swords

(Click on the Wizard icon, and all of those weapons are not disabled, meaning that the class can use them.)

This Diablo Wiki article explains weapons types, but it is not clear whether the Wizard can use only wands, or other weapons.

So do you know the exact list or weapons type that a class can use? Or can you find this information somethere?

My motivation to know is that the damage per second of those weapons can change quite a bit from one to the other, and the spell damage is based on that. For example, the level 1 wand (apprentice's want) is only 3 DPS, whereas the level 1 spear (javelin) has a DPS of 7.2–8.4.


texts: Why can't I use the Black Star to recharge a weapon enchantment?

texts:
I got the Black Star a while back and decided to use it today. I killed a guard, trapping his soul in the star. This is the first soul that I have trapped in the star.

When I tried to recharge my weapon, the star didn't appear in the list of possible choices. After some experimenting, I figured out that, due to the Black Star's name, the star won't show up in the interface if you have three or more (other) black soul gems.

Any idea what I can do about this, besides dropping some black soul gems all the time?


texts: Xbox One Deals with Gold Subscription lapse

texts:
Searched MSFT and the internet and am genuinely surprised this question hasn't come up anywhere...

I just bought my son an Xbox One S. It comes with a 1 month "free" Xbox Gold subscription trial. There appear to be two types of games:

Deals with Gold games  - you get a discount on these, but you still have to pay a substantial cost.
Games with Gold games - these are free.
There is an FAQ here for Games with Gold that is reasonably descriptive.

I understand "games with gold" games would become unplayable in the event the subscription lapses - but what happens to "Deals with Gold" games? Do they become unplayable even though you've paid most of the price?

I don't have a problem with losing something "free". But I don't want to stump up for a game and then lose it anyway from subscription lock in.

n.b.: I am referring to the paid "Deals with Gold" games, NOT "Games with Gold" games.


texts: What is the most profitable way to sell steam trading cards: as-is, or turned into gems?

texts:
My steam trading cards either turn into between 0.02 and 0.10 EUR when selling them, or I can turn them into gems. Can I sell these gems later on in some way? I see i can put them in a sack of gems, but I'm not sure how many I need for a sack, or even if I can sell those sacks.

I know that I won't make much money in this way, but I really don't care about trading cards, gems or medals as much as I do about money I might get from them. I want to sell them in the most profitable way.


texts: Do companions have a favoured weapon type they excel with?

texts: Do they all just deal the weapon's specified damage or do some have certain perks (companion-equivalent of Rifleman, Heavy Gunner, ..) that would make them excel with a certain weapon type? Or perhaps a preference towards melee or ranged weaponry?


texts: How to summon tnt to a specific player’s location

texts: I was thinking of trolling my friend in our survival world. Essentially, I’d like to be able to press a button on a command block that will summon tnt or spawn a mob at his location. I know how to spawn a mob or tnt, but I don’t know how to locate him. I’d tell you what I’ve tried, but to be perfectly honest I have no idea where to start. If anyone knows the command it would be greatly appreciated! (I play on Bedrock 1.16 in case that matters.)


texts: What is the daily limit for the number of coins won with social interactions?

texts:
There are several ways to win coins in Miitomo, but my question is only about the following possibilities :

Answering a question (awards you 15 coins).
Listening to a friend answer (awards you 5 coins).
Commenting a friend answer (awards you 15 coins).

My question is, how many times can you win coins for each one of those on a daily basis ?


texts: Is it possible to play ARK with two PS4 on LAN?

texts:
In case that my other question gets answered with more than 1 and we need some PS+ accounts in order to play on our own server over the Internet, we want to know, if it's possible to play the game over LAN, without having to get a PS+ subscription. Again I've searched the web, but only found information on how to achieve this on PC (e.g. using command line parameters on executables), but not on PS4.
Our goal is to play with 2 consoles on 2 TVs in the same apartment, so we don't have to use the split screen method. We don't want to get a PS+ subscription and therefore want to play offline over LAN.
Is it possible to play Ark: Survival Evolved entirely over LAN (dedicated/non-dedicated) on Playstations? If yes, how so?
