texts: How can I lower my "Templar Awareness" quicker?

texts:
Raising your Templar Awareness (formerly known as notoriety) as too easy and lowering it is relatively difficult.

Before, any mischievous action raised it a bit like pickpocketing which wasn't too bad.  At least lowering it back down was pretty easy since there were plenty of ways to do so.  You could find wanted signs everywhere to rip down for a quick 25% reduction.  Bribing heralds lowered it 50%.  Assassinating officials dropped it down 75% but they only appeared if you have a lot of notoriety.

This time, pickpocketing doesn't raise your awareness anymore but purchasing places does (A LOT!) and there's a lot of places to buy.  It seems just about anything common that you do in the game will raise it.

To make things worse, there are very little opportunities to lower it now as far as I can see.  The wanted posters are gone now, heralds only lower it about 25% now but they're still not plentiful.  Officials don't appear very often anymore and they only reduce by 50%.

What are some ways I can lower my templar awareness down easier or faster?

texts:
Yesterday, after completing my Jool mission, I have gathered enough science to unlock all nodes of the science tree in the R&D department and I have over 1300 science left.

Should I use the administration building to start a plan that takes some of the science I gather and gives me money for it in exchange, seeing as I have no use for science anymore? Or is there anywhere else I can use these extra science points?


texts: I'm not finished playing the single player campaign of Legacy of the Void, but I was thinking about playing Nova Covert Ops on a different computer (e.g. on the road), but I'm worried about spoilers for the LotV story whilst playing Nova.

texts: When can I tune in to Vicki Vale's broadcasts?

texts: I love soaking up the ambiance in Arkham city. As an eavesdropper, I usually listen in on every henchman dialogue I can find. Vicki Vale occasionally broadcasts on Gotham FM which you can listen to using the cryptographic sequencer. She can also be heard from a radio in the church when you rescue the medical personnel from the henchmen. During the course of the game, when can I tune in to listen to her updates regarding Arkham city, using the sequencer or another radio?


texts: Different number of dispensers activated depending on orientation of redstone dust

texts:
I have a column of 4 dispensers, all facing the same direction (to the right). For demonstration purposes, each is loaded with a different color of shulker box.

In the above screenshot, the dispensers are situated next to a 1-tick pulse generator, but not connected to it. By placing redstone dust on either the diamond block or the gold block, the dispensers are connected to the circuit so that the button causes them to activate.

If redstone dust is placed on the diamond block, all 4 dispensers activate.

If redstone is instead placed on the gold block, only the top 3 dispensers activate.

Since the redstone dust is not powering the dispensers, I'm guessing this is some kind of block update issue, but I don't understand exactly how it's working. What explains this behavior and how can I predict how the dispensers will behave inside of more complex circuits?

I'm using 1.13.1 Java edition.


texts: Is it better to take a hit, or fall off the course to save time?

texts:
I started wondering on my 200cc runs if there are times where falling off the course would result in less of a time loss than taking a hit from a shell. For example, if I know a blue shell or red shell is about to hit me (using the warning indicator), would it be better to attempt to drive off the course so that Lakitu grabs me and brings me back (negating the shell since it won't be able to hit me)?

I've noticed that Lakitu is generally pretty fast at returning the player to the course, and a decent amount of the time he even comes close to dropping you off where you would have been if you didn't fall off the course (from my observation/estimation).

Are there any times where driving off the course can potentially save you time as opposed to taking a hit from a projectile? Or should one always avoid falling off the course at all times?  The computers in 200cc races definitely seem to get more shells and projectiles which is rather annoying, and I was hoping that this method could potentially allow me to keep my leads.


texts: Can you play with both local and online players at the same time?

texts:
I am considering to buy Helldivers, but would like to know if it's possible to play with two local and two online players at the same time, so that if I have a friend over we can play with other remote friends.
So: Can you mix couch co-op with online co-op in Helldivers on PS4?
I could not find any information on that, and the neither the co-optimus info page nor coop FAQ for Helldivers seem to have that information.
Actually the info page says:

Local + Online Play
Up to 4 Local or Online

I am just not sure if that's an exclusive "or" or means that you combine the two local and online players.


texts: How to make a fireball summoning item in vanilla Minecraft?

texts:
I'm trying to make an item that, when held, summons a fireball above the player's head. I'm using command blocks to do so, but I've run into some problems. I don't want to use any redstone because that stops working when I go too far away.

/scoreboard players add @a Fireball 1 {SelectedItem:{tag:{display:{Name:"Summon Fireball"}}}}
/execute @a[score_Fireball_min=18,score_Fireball=20] ~ ~ ~ /summon FireworksRocketEntity ~0 ~1 ~0 {Life:1,LifeTime:1,FireworksItem:{id:fireworks,Count:1,tag:{Fireworks:{Explosions:[{Type:0,Flicker:0,Trail:0,Colors:[15627776]}]}}}}
/execute @a[score_Fireball_min=20,score_Fireball=20] ~ ~ ~ /summon Fireball ~ ~2.5 ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0],ExplosionPower:1}

This part of the code works, but I want to reset the Fireball score once the fireball has been shot.

/execute @e[type=Fireball] ~ ~ ~ /scoreboard players set @p[score_Fireball_min=20,rm=3,r=4] Fireball 0

This code works when you're alone, but I play together with my friends. The problem is, that if my fireballs passes my friend, who's also summoning fireballs, his score will be reset, too. Instead, I'm trying to make a command that looks for a fireball around the player, and resets the score when the output is negative. It should be something like this;

/execute @a[score_Fireball_min=20] ~ ~ ~ /testfor @e[type=Fireball,r=3]
INV
/scoreboard players set @p Fireball 0

Note that @p in the second command has to be the same player as @a[score_Fireball_min=20] in the first command. Again, I don't want to use any redstone here, because the code will stop working when I move too far away.

Does anyone know how I can change the commands above to make them work?

texts:
Yesterday I've finish T6 map and went to sleep in hope that today I'll start doing yellow dailies. But no:

All yellow tiers are 0.

Wiki say:

  Each day five new master missions will be presented on the Atlas after the reset at 5pm MST (GMT-7) based on the player's last completed map tier with a range of +1/-1 tier.

My question:

Was I just unlucky that all masters decided to do -1 map tier ? Or is it rolled once for all of them?

My additional thoughts below (can be ignored when answering):

Tooltip in atlas is as generic as it can be:

  will accumulate daily based on the tier of the last map you completed

This doesn't imply finishing white T5 map could give yellow daily. Nor opposite.

Pretty dissaponted with this GGG innovation, I could have done T7 map if I'd know that tricky to guess rule. If I'd be their programmer I'd make it based on Zana quest line progress, giving +1 daily per tier once it's unlocked (white - once zana quest started after completing T1 map, yellow - after completing shaped T6 map, red - after completing elder T9 map).

texts: Do Spellblade abilities scale off of Attack or Magic (or both)?

texts:
Cloud is a pretty awesome dude. He can use Spellblade abilities like Fire Strike and Drain Strike and do lots of damage and target enemy elemental weaknesses! It's great!

But I find myself dithering about how to equip Cloud. Specifically, I have some really nice armor pieces that boost Magic, as well as Defense and Attack. And I have some other really nice armor pieces that don't boost Magic, but boost Defense and Attack by slightly more!

If I give Cloud the gear that boosts his Magic stat, will his Spellblade abilities do more damage? Or is it purely based on his ATK from his weapon and other gear?

texts: What are roads for, and when to build them?

texts:
I've started playing Civ 4 recently; it's a great, complex game, and there's a ton to learn.

One aspect that puzzles me are roads. I read something about needing roads to gain access to resources - but my pasture worked just fine without any road! On the other hand, I did need to build a road for, if I recall correctly, an iron mine to start giving me iron.

What resources require roads, and, outside of the movement bonus, are there other uses for them? For example, is there a trade bonus for connecting cities with a road?

texts:
So, I built my nether reactor out of a bunch of gold and diamonds I had been storing to see what it does. It was pretty crazy; after I activated it I warped to the netherworld version of my land and was attacked by the zombie pigmen and promptly died (serves me right for activating it unprepared!)

Now I have a giant obsidian tower in my world that seems to serve no purpose. Nothing special spawns inside it regardless of the time of day, it just sits there taking up space. I didn't get to keep anything I scavenged when I entered the nether because I died while in there and my stuff didn't seem to remain when I returned to the reactor location.

So, do I need to rebuild the whole reactor again just to re-enter the nether, or is there a way to re-activate the reactor once it's done its thing already? Is it a one time thing?

texts: Disabling navigation "snapping" when activating pulse engine

texts:
In "No Man's Sky" on PC (with Beyond update), when I try to navigate to a location using the pulse engine, my ship's navigation will "snap" to a particular target (if there are any such targets available.)

Most of the time, this feature is useful. However sometimes I really am pointing my ship where I want to go, and would rather not have the "snap to" functionality change my navigation. Is there a way to disable this, like a hotkey or something?

For example, this is my current view in my system:

I'm trying to fly to my base as part of my active quest. I have centered my navigation on the base icon, as you can see. If I activate the pulse engine, however, my ship's navigation shifts to the right and refocuses on the space station.

My current workflow is to get most of the way to the space station, drop out of pulse, and re-point at my base. If the two navigational targets are far enough apart at that point, it usually works; sometimes it takes a few tries. I want to avoid this and just fly to my base.

Is there a built-in way to disable (temporarily or otherwise) the 'snap to' navigational functionality of the pulse engine? (I'm not playing modded. PC version via Steam, up-to-date.)

texts: Bookshelf error is preventing me from playing

texts:
I hadn't played in about a month, so I logged in to Skyrim and was greeted with a message saying I can't put any more books on my bookshelf.  Not only am I nowhere near a bookshelf, I'm outside.

I tried clicking OK to close the message, but nothing happens.  I tried pressing every button on my keyboard, but nothing worked.  I even tried loading up previous save points, but the message appears there too.  So basically I can't play the game until this issue gets resolved.

Has anyone had an experience like this?

Is there an explanation by the series end that tells us why his eyes are so weird looking whether it be from biotic power which gained him his status and started the Cerberus group or maybe cybernetic infusion since it seems the Cerberus operatives are going under these changes/Shepard was infused with cybernetics when revived, or is this just an aesthetic feature added to emphasize his character?

This is in reference to Dwarf Fortress 40d (v0.28.181.40d). Later versions of this game may have significantly changed the related mechanics.

When setting up a stockpile for furniture or finished goods there is a setting for Core Quality and Total Quality... what's the difference?

I'd like to set up a series of stockpiles in increasing distance from the trade depot and increasing quality (so I can give them the crappiest stuff first and save the best for use in the fortress)... but the two different ratings for quality has me confused.


texts:
I was testing out my PS4 on Christmas with Knack, when i tried to view my trophies it wouldn't show me any unless i was online.

I remember this happening with the PS3 when they changed how Trophies worked and i had to switch them from Online Mode to Offline Mode to view them without a net connection. i also know that on my PSVita i could view my PS3 Trophies as well but only in Online Mode so i'm assuming the PS4 is using a similar system to what the Vita used for trophies since you can view PS3 and Vita Trophies as well.

Thing is, it was ages ago i did the mode switch on my PS3 and the Vita it's like a separate tab at the top which doesn't work if your not online. i can't remember what setting i had to alter on my PS3 and i can't seem to find anything option like that on the PS4.

So i am wondering How can i switch PS4 Trophies to Offline Mode?

texts:
I am doing my 5thish playthrough of Tactics Ogre and for something different have Denam set up as a Rune Fencer. I have him with Divine Magic, a spear and Augment Light.

I typically get someone to cast Instill Light on him, which will mean his Augment Light skill is raised slightly whenever he hits one or two enemies with his spear.

I am curious whether the Augment Light skill will increase the Light-Touched damage as it levels up, or if it's always the same amount (it seems to be a percentage of the weapon damage currently, maybe 25%).

Dagger 1 = 18 Damage, 25 Shock

Dagger 2 = 33 Damage, no magic

Using the above, when I sneak attack and have the 15x multiple then is the damage caused by Dagger 1 is (18+25)*15 or (18*15)+25 ?

Same question with bows and arrows, does the multiplier apply to potion damage or/and the magical(enchanted)?

In other words, do the multipliers apply to the base damage only or to the final damage being caused by the weapon (base+magical+skill+potion+perks etc)?

I am confused. :-?

Also, why is there no online count for the 'ORIGINAL' server? Is it, in any way, special or something?


texts: How can I make breaking walls less tedious?

texts:
The background "walls" in Terraria are incredibly tedious to break down. Maybe it's because the hammer is so. damn. slow. or maybe it's just a figment of my imagination since the wall tiles have bigger sprites than non-wall sprites.

It's important to rid your base of places where monsters can spawn but I can't convince myself to clear out all the dirt and replace it with stone at the current speed. I understand the standard ways of breaking the background but even the most advanced hamaxes still have a speed of slow. Is there an item that speeds up this task? Or a particular method that you use to break it as fast as possible?


texts:
I am trying to swap over my default aquatic pet, but as I only have two I don't seem to be able to. Currently my primary aquatic pet is a Jungle Stalker and my secondary pet is an Armour Fish:

This means that whenever I go into the water, for the first time after logging in, the pet that I have out will swap from my Spider (primary land pet) to the Jungle Stalker (primary aquatic pet). I know that I can swap these over using the 'swap pet' facility (F4) but how do I permanently swap these over so I don't have to do this?

When I click on the up arrow, both of the pets I have available are coloured in;

However, selecting the Armour Fish in the primary slot causes no action, the selection screen simply closes. This works fine on my land pets because I have three pets, so can select the other pet and then select the pet I want in the other slot, but as I only have two aquatic pets this isn't an option.

How do I swap my primary pet when I only have two?

I've been thinking of spicing up my Rammus play with some variance, and one thing I've been looking at is the armor Leviathan, which grants health in a snowball fashion. At max stacks, it reduces damage taken by 15% (which sounds similar to the 4% reduction you can get if you have enough Defense Masteries). As a tank, and as Rammus specifically, I tend to get a lot of assists which helps build up to that 15% reduction.

That got me thinking, how does this interact with some of the various other methods to reduce damage, though? There are at least 3 methods I know of.

Armor/Magic Resist - Detailed quite thoroughly here.
Reduce damage by fixed number - Amumu's Tantrum has a passive that does this, and there's also a Mastery that affects this.
Reduce damage by percentage - The aforementioned Leviathan item and the Mastery.

What is the order in which these effects are applied? Do the latter two apply to the damage after armor/magic resist is factored in, or do they alter the damage prior to calculating armor/magic resist? Are there any other methods of damage reduction that have their own special effects for this?

If it's not too far off to simultaneously address, do damage amplifying effects like Vlad's ultimate counter the corresponding damage reduction methods, or do they multiplicatively stack with the results at some stage?

This question covers how normal attacks benefit, but it doesn't happen to cover these specific effects and how they synergize with each other.

texts: Cannot launch a game because of missing OpenAL32.dll library

texts:
I'm trying to launch a Steam game on my computer (it's Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones, but I believe the issue is much more common). Every time I launch I get a message that says:

  You cannot launch the game, because OpenAL32.dll was not found

I googled the solution, but most of what I get is "download an exe file that will install the dll". I don't trust this solution. I don't know the sites I can download it from, therefore I can't be sure if I'm not accidently downloading malware.

My question's are:

What is this library for?
How is it usually appear on my computer?
What is the safest way to get one for my computer?

Thanks in advance.


texts: Will I still get the "It was all just lying there" achievement if I miss an item I had collected before?

texts:
I'm playing The Last of Us for the third time (now in hard+) aiming to collect everything. To do this, I'm following this list to check the things that I didn't find during my two first gameplays, but I commited a silly mistake :S

I'm finishing the Pittsburg chapter and I missed the last artifact, called "Trial Note" that is near the board in the boardroom at the Architect Office (before crossing the bridge) and I entered in the room that Henry closes before the last strike, so I can't go back. In the hard playthroght, I catched this document, but now in hard+ I missed.

What I want to know is since I catched the artifact before, if it will count as a catched document in order to acquire the trophy "It was all just lying there". In the chapter select interface, inside the main menu, the Pittsburg chapter has all the things collected:

Artifacts found: 17/17
Firefly pendants found: 3/3
Training Manuals Found: 4/4
Comics found: 4/4

texts: How can I maximize my skill points gained in Kingdoms of Amalur?

texts:
Skill points are earned 1 per level to a maximum of 40.  This number can be increased by using trainers, picking up books and by some equipment.

Is it possible to simultaneously max out all the skills in a single play through?

What trainers exist?  What are the restrictions on their use?

What hoops would I have to jump through to get to the theoretical maximum levels?

Are there any items that increase skill points that might affect using the trainers (ie should I hold off on using them until later in the game) or should I plan to Fateweave later on to collect them all?

Each Great person costs some amount of GP points (those are usually produced by special districts and possibly by some wonders).

After each GP is "made" (either by GP accumulation or by purchase), the cost of the next one usually goes up substantially. This can be used strategically - if the race for a GP becomes close, player can purchase the GP and never allow other players to have any GP of that type.

The cost increase does not happen always though, sometimes even on really low costs (such as 120 points). What are the factors that contribute to that (or stop increase of the cost altogether)?

texts: Does recalling an explorer and then resuming the exploration affect the quality of loot collected?

texts:
Sometimes I recall my explorers at night, just to be on the safe side. But in the morning, I realize that they have health and resources left to keep going, so I make them explore a little farther. The exploring path looks something like this:

            <----------------------------------------------|vault
                                48h exploring
            ------------>                                  |vault
             6h returning (at double the exploring speed)
            <------------                                  |vault
            12h exploring

It's my understanding that explorers get better stuff (and also face tougher monsters) the longer they are in the wastes, but I'd like to understand better the effects of recalling an explorer and then sending them a bit further in the wastes. In my example above, what would be the resulting hike, in terms of loot quality? In terms of loot quality and monster strength, would the equivalent path be the same as if I had not recalled the explorer, just having paused the trip during the time they were returning? Like so:

<----------------------------------------------------------|vault
                                60h exploring

Or is the return trip taken into account? Like so:

            <----------------------------------------------|vault
                                48h exploring

Has anyone experimented with this? If not, how would one set up an experiment to gather evidence on the subject? Does it matter?

texts: How can I avoid eating elves when my shark skateboards?

texts:
The latest update to Hungry Shark: Evolution on Android introduced a new part of the game, the North Pole, for the holidays.

You get there by eating an elf in the normal shark world.

The thing is, I absolutely hate the North Pole - it's annoying to play and aesthetically displeasing (and I don't like hurting cute little penguins either).

Is there a way to make elves inedible so I never get to North Pole?

Barring that, how can I avoid eating them, when they are stuck in the middle of normal beach-goers and it's basically impossible to maneuver my shark to miss them when land-crawling (and doubly so when I'm speed-land-moving on a skateboard add-on).

texts: League of Legends damage modifiers while channeling

texts:
If a damage buff or debuff (e.g. exhaust) is applied to a champion while they are channeling a spell (after they started the channeling) like ww' ult, kata's ult or fiddle's ult is the damage for that spell adjusted mid-channeling, or the buff/debuff has to be applied before they started channeling in order to take effect for that spell damage. What about spells that involve traveling projectiles like ez, ashe, draven, ziggs ulties? Or delayed spells like leona's ult?

I ask this as I mainly play support and when I see one of those ults, if I can't cc to stop them, I apply exhaust while they are channeling to lower their ult's damage for the remaining of the channel and I was just wondering if that works or I am just wasting my summoner's spell.

Also, as a side-note, how do you even test for something like this, or where do you get an (semi-)official answer?

I reinstalled the newest version of Visual C++ just in case too, even though that wouldn't fix the missing files. Validating the Steam cache of the game says that all of the files are there, which is most likely not true.

texts: StarCraft 2 forcing a game that keeps army sizes smaller

texts:
What I'm wondering is: if anyone can suggest a strategy to keep the game from becoming about building an overwhelming Army, but instead about smaller (and perhaps simultaneous) engagements?

After watching some VODs online I've noticed that army sizes increase as the game progresses.  Which makes sense, because as the economy of each player increases they are able to produce more and more units, and build more and more structures (or have built more structures).

I think I see smaller Armies in the Pro games (anybody agree with that?).  (Yes, eventually one force gains enough of a lead to make the large, overwhelming army -- and it usually is near the end of the game).

texts:
In Trainer Battles (Arena, Rocket fights, etc), you can "charge" a move by swiping all of the icons that appear. Depending on how many you hit, you can get a caption showing how well you did; "Nice", "Great", or "Excellent", much like when you catch Pokémon.
When catching a Pokémon, this affects the "strength" of your catch. E.g a "Great" throw is better than a "Nice" throw, which will increase the likelihood of catching the Pokémon. However, I haven't seen much difference for the Charged Moves in Trainer Battles.
So, in Trainer Battles, when executing a Charged Move, is there any difference between "Nice", "Great", and "Excellent", and if so, what effect does it have exactly?


texts: Why does no one drop into my public Payday 2 game?

texts:
Update 8/21/15

Due to the number of views on this question, I thought I should update about the situation, which is that Xbox One players still cannot join each other's games if they are not specifically invited to the lobby.

This is a well-known, ongoing, and much lamented issue with XB1 Payday 2. Since the original post, the behavior of the broken matchmaking has changed with subsequent patches, but the issue is not fixed. Check out the Overkill Twitter feed for more information.

=====================

Original Post

I'm playing on Xbox One, with the Payday 2: Crimewave Edition. My NAT ports are open, i have Fios boosted speed, everything technical is fine according to the XB1 network and multiplayer tests. Other games work perfectly fine.

In payday though, i play a lot with one other person. One of us always goes to crime net, selects an "untaken" job (no gamertag above it), and then invites the other person to the game. Its the easiest way to join each other in payday.

The game we create is always set to public, with drop-in allowed, no reputation limit, and playing with AI. We didnt mind playing a game or two alone at first, but after a dozen games in a row, we noticed no one was dropping into our game.

We have never had another person jump into a game we have created, since the midnight game launch last Tuesday. It doesnt matter who creates the game, if it's just one person or the two of us, any map, any difficulty. No one drops into the game.

Am i doing something wrong? We can separately join a hosted game from crime net perfectly fine, and invite the other person if there's room in the lobby (and if no one else jumps in first), but thats a really annoying procedure.

I want to make a public game, invite a friend, and then have strangers fill the empty slots. Anyone know how?

Note: we had this game on 360 and did NOT have this issue

I am currently making a universal tree farm in Minecraft, and I need to know the maximum and minimum height of each breed of tree, except for Dark Oak, and the large variations of some trees.

So what is the Minimum and Maximum height the each breed of Minecraft tree (Oak, Spruce, Jungle, etc) can reach?

In Pokemon GO battles, the charge meter goes up a different amount for each attack, but it doesn't provide information as to how to maximize or change the amount of energy per attack.

Or on my Grotle how razor leaf barely gives any energy but does a lot of damage and bite does decentish damage and good EPS. (sort of) Does anyone know what the charge per attack is based on or any sort of formula? I did see something once that said you got 0.5 charge for every 1 HP of damage dealt. Is that correct?

Also, do my active skills influence his abilities as well or is it a random rotation?

What is the most effective way to kill the clone? Snares don't seem to work in the fight demonhunter vs demonhunter and im usually on 2/3 of my hp going into phase 2 so the clone kills me right away.

texts: Burnout Paradise: constant crashing on Vista & Windows 7

texts:
I know this has little to do with gaming, but more to do with lack of gaming. On both my Vista PC as my Windows 7 laptop, Burnout Paradise crashes 9 times out of 10 just a few frames after going in-game.

The odd thing is that it happens on both machines (PC has a nVidia 8600 GTS, laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650). The game was downloaded via Steam on each machine separately. Disabling anti-virus (MS Security Essentials) or, via Steam, defragmenting, verifying and redownloading has no effect.

At first, I only ran the game on my laptop. Correspondence with EA promised a patch for Windows 7 after several e-mails, but it regularly crashes on my PC as well.

A list of about 15 other Steam games run without hitches on either machine. Has anybody run into such an issue with Burnout Paradise?

texts:
The title is self explanatory.  I have a means of gathering animals without wheat via water as the flow is controlled by a push of a button (the beginnings of an auto harvester).  I have a glass ceiling only 1 block high (per schema of my place). So once the water fills the room, it will push the animals to one side(no space between the top of the water and the ceiling).  This then sparked the question, will they drown before getting to the desired location by flow of the water?

Can they drown at all?

I have seen this post  on how to round up animals but it didn't answer my original question.

texts:
I'd like to buy BF2(complete collection) on Steam, but the friend I'll play with said it's not compatible with the "normal" version.

Furthermore I wondered if getting the Steam version you are given a user+password that you can use also on "normal" clients, or you would be stuck with playing it only on Steam.

So the actual question is: what are the differences and the compatibility between the Steam and the non-Steam version?

We ended up losing the game, at which point I inquired in chat as to whether or not the Ana ult had ever been used (strongly implying it should have been used on me). The Ana player responded that they did use their ult, but on the DVa, right before she exploded.

This made me wonder, if a big DVa is 'powered up', and her mech is killed, does the little DVa retain the power for the remaining time, or is it lost? And similarly, if a little DVa is nano-boosted and then calls in her mech, does she lose that boost?


texts: Deus Ex 2: Invisible War crashes to the desktop after the first loading screen. Can this be fixed?

texts:
I am one of the many people that took up the offer on steam of the 10 year anniversary of Deus Ex.

The problem is with Deus Ex 2: Invisible war. The game launches and starts with the opening videos, and then on the first loading screen it crashes to the desktop

There are lots of posts around the internet about this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, but there seems no definitive solution (that at least worked for me).

Can we find a definitive answer as all of the above do not work?

I have tried updating all my drivers, various "compatability modes", lots of multiproccesor hacks and nothing seems to work.

My specific setup is:
2.16 Ghz Core 2 Duo
Intel 945 graphics card
2Gb RAM
Windows 7
Steam


texts:
How should I organize my troops between multiple bases?

The game gives a broad overall strategic choice of whether place all of your best troops and equipment in a single A Team, or to split your best resources over multiple teams across the world at the cost of each having less experience and equipment (as well as a higher literal monetary cost).  Having a single powerful team makes missions in the area surrounding that base easier.  Meanwhile, having multiple teams provides the possibility of performing ground missions across multiple continents, but is very (perhaps even prohibitively) expensive and each team will be less survivable than they otherwise would be.

There is also the matter of Base Defense.  These missions are quite difficult, and you want to bring as much power as possible.  Is it more prudent to defend one base with your A Team and sacrifice / bank on the others not getting hit?  Or is it plausible to defend 2 or 3 bases with all B Teams without having any A Team (as well as do well in the rest of the game this way)?

What is the most strategically sound way to divide my power between bases?

texts:
I just got the message

You hear a leprechaun reading a scroll labeled FOOBIE BLETCH.

I know that monsters can read scrolls of create monster (which I've identified) and teleportation (which I haven't).

Is it safe to assume that this was a scroll of teleportation (it's a leprechaun hall, so I can't tell whether one of them teleported with telepathy since several have already used their innate teleportation ability)? Or are there other scrolls that monsters will read?

In short, I'm looking for a list of scrolls that monsters can read. I'm almost positive I've seen a list like this before, but the wiki pages for scroll, monster, and read don't mention anything about monster use.


texts:
Mines can be placed anywhere and cause heavy damage to any enemy moving over them. However, they are not free, and require resources and time to be set up.

Where and when should I lay down mines? The general idea should be to have them cover paths that are often crossed and places of strategic relevance (e.g. VPs), but are there any details or tricks that increase effectiveness?

texts: Can I install Fallout 3 GOTY DLC to a USB drive?

texts:
I bought Fallout 3 GOTY and I unfortunately have the 4GB Xbox 360 without a hard drive. So what I thought might work is this: I take a USB and my game to a friends house who has a hard drive. So I install the DLC onto his hard drive. When that is done, I transfer the DLC to my USB.

I then take my stuff back home and plug my USB into the Xbox. I load up the game and select my USB with the DLC on it (I also put my last save onto my USB so I wouldn't have to start over) and the game says something like Loading extra content. So I think it works but when you go into my game I walk around for a while and I get no new radio stations or any notifications. Did my method work or do I just need to walk around more?


texts: Which decks are available in Trainer Challenge?

texts:
When I play the Trainer Challenge, I can't pick certain decks that I have available through online battles.
In addition to that, I have 3 basic decks that are available in Trainer Challenge that I can't use elsewhere, specifically XY Basic Red, XY Basic Blue and XY Basic Green.

I'd like to know what determines in which mode I can use a certain deck? It probably has to do something with how the deck was acquired, but I couldn't find any concrete evidence to back this up.

I already shipped a console, have practically infinite money, have won a lot of awards, and was not offered to move to a bigger office than the one I have (I think I moved 3 times).

texts: Is there a difference in speed between the spider and cavespider?

texts: I have been exploring an abandoned mineshaft lately in minecraft and I saw regular spiders and a cave spider spawner. The cave spiders seemed to be a lot quicker than the regular spiders. Is this true, or are they the same speed or are the regular spiders quicker. If I am wrong about the cave spiders being faster, do they appear to be faster because they are only one block wide?

texts: In what order should I play the DLC, in cohesion with the main story?

texts:
In Dark Souls 2, the order in which the DLC becomes available doesn't seem to match up with the difficulty of the areas it appears in.

For example, most players (speedrunners and regular players alike) tend to avoid most of the areas until end-game, or even until NG+.

What is the actual difficulty level of the DLC's? (In terms of main storyline difficulty vs DLC area difficulty)

EDIT: With the addition of the new ending, and the additional storyline content, the DLC has now effectively tied itself back into the main storyline. So, taking this into account, is there a particular order the DLC should be played, taking into account the difference in difficulty and the storyline content?


texts: How do I know what a character has seen?

texts:
I began a new character with patch 1.4.21.4

I completed the Thieves Guild story line, where Mallus Maccius pledges to me to be a fence for my services. I moved on and became the Guild Master.

Now I am on a side quest to get to "Return the lexicon to Avanchnzel". So I decided to dump some of my gear. But to my surprise, with Mallus there are no dialogue options for a transaction. He says I have developed the brewery by dumping the last of the Honning-Brew mead. But no options for selling.

Before this patch, another character that I played, I was able to fence/sell my stuff just fine with Mallus.

Now I can not.

So far I have been following G.SE on how to avoid known glitches altogether.

If other people have experienced this problem, does some one know how to avoid this glitch for Mallus Maccius?

EDIT

Neither is Niranye in Windhelm, who should be a fence once you complete the Thieves Guild quest line as well.

At this point I think it is one and only one mod that I have active. When I started this play through with the latest patch (no longer latest since 1.4.27 I think) I had never used a mod. Only subscribed to one on Steam "Dovahkiin Hideout" for the big house, more space etc.

Maybe this is why my usual fences might not be fences. But Golum-Ei still is a fence. Too confused at this point.

Anyone in the gaming community have any problems with this particular mod?


texts: Is there a way to get more points for the Job Board?

texts:
I've gotten the first Waymarker, and before the next story point I am doing a whole bunch of new jobs that have showed up on the Job Board. (I can go from Sapstrath Seahaven to I think to Rashugal. I'm in Sherilton now, and it looks like there's a couple more places further ahead I can go.)
A couple of the questions on the board are the Red Text ones, so ignoring the Kitty Collar ones, I have 3 quests that require Bronze Seal rank and I'm on Wooden Medal with still about 29k points before I get Bronze Token. With the remaining jobs I have left and the Monsters Contracts I do know the locations of, there is no way I'll reach Bronze Token. And while I expect more jobs to appear (I got 3 monster ones for the Culmar Trail, but with Sapstrath Deepwood the monster hunting jobs didn't appear all at once and I had to make a couple of revisits), I doubt I am getting to Bronze Seal from just taking on jobs.
So I am wondering if there is a way to get more points for the Job Board that I might have been missing? Something I can grind for so I can do these Bronze Seal jobs before I continue with the story?


texts: When are the statistics (IVs/Ability/Gender etc.) for a hatched Pokémon randomised?

texts:
Sun and Moon have significantly changed the breeding mechanic. In ORAS, I could save before picking up eggs, hatch them, then soft reset (SR) back to the save, and get a completely new set of eggs (i.e. the egg was determined at the point you collected it from the daycare - more specifically, it's determined at the point you collect the egg before that one).

However, in Sun and Moon, egg statistics (stats/IVs/gender etc) are determined at some point before you pick up the egg from the Daycare. I've saved, collected and hatched 5 Pokémon, SR'd, then collected and hatched the exact same Pokémon, down to their IVs.

I much prefer this method as it means you don't fill up countless boxes with the same inadequate Pokémon in the quest to find one with perfect IVs and Nature (same applies for Masuda Method if shinies are your thing).

See title for the resultant question.


texts: Start Undertale fresh, without any decisions

texts:
I told a friend of mine to play Undertale, but as he doesn't have a PC, I will let him play the game on my pc.
The problem is... I already completed the game in genocide, but from what I hear, there will be save files left even after the "true" reset with %appdata%.
Someone on Reddit even said it stores Registy files on Windows...
On another question found here, they mentioned "UndertaleGenocideRemover", but do that actually work?
I don't want that the game remembers some decision and ruins the gameplay of my friend. I want that he can experience the game as a whole, with a clean, fresh start.

texts: Is there a fix for the bugged playthrough 2 in Borderlands 2?

texts: I finished playthrough 2 quests with my friends all out of order and it seems that my playthrough somehow got forever stuck on playthrough 2. I have no story missions left and if I accept new side quests they are not scaled to level 50, like they would be in playthrough 2.5. The last story mission I had to do was "Data Mining", has anyone else encountered the problem and do they know a way to fix it?


texts: I'm not sure how Forge handles the relation between block side and inventory slots, but I would like to auto-refill my Writing Desk, that is, insert paper and ink vials and retrieve empty vials. However, it doesn't matter what side (of the 10 available, two blocks wide), I can only insert the paper. I would like to know what is the side connected to the ink vials inventory slot for this block, and also, if possible, how can I easily determine that for any given block. Finally if there is no association, is there any other way to auto refill my desk?


texts:
Is it related to influence at all? I've heard things about other CSs and civs going to war or changing their diplomatic status with you depending on how you treat other civs or CSs. Is this true? If so how does it work? Is it safe to go around smashing CSs without all the other civs and CSs getting mad at you? I would like to know how this works before starting wars.

Edit: How does this effect teams? My sister and I are playing LAN and we're on the same team. If she attacks some city states, what happens to me? What happens if she starts and I help? Also, when a CS says "We have a serious dispute with X, please murder them for us," does that work the other way around? If I kill Y and help X instead, do I get anything for it?


texts: 1001 Spikes level 10-4: Tricky jump strategy

texts:
About midway into the level 10-4, there is a single-block of ice you need to land on, and to do it, you have to jump over a single-block of spikes just in front of it.

My problem is that even when I manage to execute the exact same jumps, the results are erratic. Sometimes it works, sometimes just doesn't.

I have tried some alternative methods many times(jumping from 1, 2, 3, and 4 pixels away from the leftmost pixel of the spikes while standing or running) but none seems to have a consistent result.

I think the jump mechanics there are similar to trying to jump over a single-block of spikes with the low-jump, and that if there is a consistent way to do one, it will also work for the other. But of course, I haven't found a way do that consistently either.

So my question is: Has anyone found a consistent method to make either of those jumps? By "consistent", I mean that the method works every time you manage to execute it correctly.


texts: Infusing with faint stone vs. Infusing with Magic stone?

texts:
What exactly is the difference between infusing with a faint stone and infusing with a magic stone?

I seem to understand, that a faint stone will cause a weapon to deal magic damage or a shield to reduce incoming magic damage.
But what does a magic stone do?

The wiki pages left me rather clueless...

Background:
I'm a sorcerer, carrying the Witch Tree branch to cast spells and using a sword in the off-hand for enemies with high magic resistance.
I infused the branch with a faintstone, as was suggested in another question.


texts: When I do something on my Minecraft server, the world changes, but after a small period, my position and inventory goes back to where I was before. When I put stuff in a chest, it stays in the chest, and then I go get reset to my former inventory and position, and the stuff is still in the chest, so I have a duplicate. When I build, the building stays. But I just reset my position and inventory. This is happening to other players, by the way. How do I stop this lag?

texts:
I was purifying a few of my Shadow Pokémon when I suddenly noticed the Zubat  I had purified apparently had taken 1 damage somewhere. I had literally just purified it, I was still in the Pokemon screen; I didn't use it in battle or anything.

I also noticed many other purified Pokémon (Rattata, Bulbasaur, Golbat) with very little damage, but still hurt. I tried purifying a fainted (0 HP) Shadow Squirtle, and it came out at full HP. I can't trade them if they're damaged, and I don't have infinite potions to heal.

Can SPECIAL stats be increased past 10?

This is because I want to hold on to that cap when the new season arrives. But should I get my gear now?


texts: How can I be an effective engineer on Blu team without resorting to the Gunslinger?

texts:
Engineer is a useful class to play on Attack, with teleporters being indispensable for getting heavy-hitters onto the front line, and dispensers being...dispensable for health and ammo on the front line.

The problem is that the server I like to play on has banned the Gunslinger entirely.

I want to play Engineer on this server, but I don't have time to build up a full Sentry and still keep my teleporter and dispenser built up.

How can I support my team as Engineer on attack without resorting to the use of a Gunslinger mini-sentry?

texts: How can I create Switch accounts in other nationalities?

texts:
I have a Switch and all the player accounts registered on it are based in the EU.

I've just been sent a code via a publisher for a US version of a game - they'd run out of EU codes. I've struggled to use international codes before having previously understood that you could just change the "region" system setting on the Switch console.

The publisher told me that I'd need to create a new US-based account to do this. But I'm not really clear on how to go about this, or whether I can use it on my Switch without fiddling with the region setting every time.

Is there any way I can redeem this code on my existing EU account and play the game without having to change the settings whenever I want to play? If not, how do I go about creating an additional US account to redeem the code and adding it to my Switch?

texts: While I playing Pokemon X in the earlier moments, I came across this character that won't let me enter because I wasn't a champion yet. Now that I have defeated the Pokemon Leauge Champion I wish to find that character, but the problem is that I don't remember where he is.


texts: How can I perform the tightest turn possible in a jet?

texts:
Sometimes I seem to be able spin my jet around like a top and start going the opposite direction immediately.  Other times my jet takes a wide looping turn.  This seems to be mostly dependent on my air speed and whether or not I'm using thrust at the moment but I don't have a good handle on it.

What influences the jet's rate of turn?  How can I perform the tightest turn possible?

I want to adopt a local child (Lucy I think her name was) so I just bought a house in Whiterun. The problem is I don't have a child's bed.

texts: Can I finish both sides of the Dawnguard DLC

texts: I want to know if I can become a vampire through Serena or her father and then at a later time cure vampirism and then go through the Dawnguard quest line? I am a bit of a hoarder and want to collect all of the items offered in both quest lines.  Or will I miss out on certain items or quests?

texts: What does the StarCraft 2 client download when entering the league queue?

texts:
When I go to join a multiplayer game in StarCraft 2, sometimes the game client says it is downloading a few items before it enters the queue. This notice appears at the top center of the screen, and is soon replaced by the the "looking for players" message and then the "players found" message.

What is it downloading? Presumably I already have all the game content, and also presumably it can't fetch data on my opponents (such as their avatars) until it has decided who to match me with, which can be minutes later. Blizzard isn't issuing micro-patches this way, are they?

Edit: After the recent patch, these downloads took even more time. I'd love to know what's being downloaded, so I'm adding a bounty.
