texts: Call of Juarez: everytime stutter when loading something

texts:
I'm still at the start of the game but one thing is annoying as hell: whenever I'm maneuvering around in the map and the game needs to load something (e.g. a sound or such a thing), there's a stutter or a short pause so to say.

E.g. I climb up something it's clear that the game suddenly pauses for the sound load (at least that's my impression) the first thing it needs to play it. I've also saw this the first time the wolf came at me right in the tutorial: a short stop and then the sound played.

What's also really annoying about this is that it almost always breaks the tension because I already can expect something to happen the next moment.

I'm on a W7Pro 64 with 12GB RAM, i980EE@3.3Ghz with Intel 160GB SSD and a HD 5970 so I hardly think it's the spec not being enough and thus all my searching with Google and friends turning nothing up (they usually expect hardware not sufficient problems).

I also notice some weird stop, albeit less annoying, when calling up the Objective or Log screens (I expect the game to pause in this case, so no problem).


texts: Does the war have an ending in Planetside 2?

texts:
As enemy bases are captured, they just seem to respawn right in the middle of friendly captured territory. This is looking like a perpetual cycle, and none of the three teams ever gets closer than to the very edge of winning the whole continent, only to lose lots of territory again.

So is this by design? Is Planetside 2 eternally to be at war, with no winner ever? I was hoping it would be more like a 'match'. I admit that both are almost the same thing, but there is at least the closure of winning/losing sides this way.


texts: Does the ending change if you collect all 200 strawberries?

texts:
I think very recently, the last of the 200 strawberries has been found. You can get the last strawberry by completing chapter 1 without using the dash once. (Yes, it's possible, I actually got it myself... my death count is at over 800...)

In the ending, Madeline makes a strawberry pie, which has a different quality depending on how many strawberries the player has collected.

Has anyone collected all 200 strawberries yet? Does the ending change in any way?


texts: How do I 'upload' executables to a Nintendo DS?

texts:
My girlfriend really likes old school NES games, and she has a DS. I figured the best way to get her games would be to install a NES emulator like NESDS on her DS.  Having no experience with this, I googled for instructions, but they are a little beyond my understanding.  I didn't think there was a way to 'upload' executables or files to the DS, but maybe I'm wrong.

Essentially, how do I get NESDS onto a DS system?
Secondly, how do I get ROMs onto the system as well (I assume the same way).

texts: Why do people get dropped in Starcraft II?

texts:
Probably 3/4 games I play, someone drops from the game within 5-20 seconds of the game starting.  Why does this happen?

I understand that connectivity issues and client crashes probably account for those vanishing during load.  I am referring to those players that seemingly choose to leave right after a game has started.

Is it some kind of joke?  Do people quit and play a new game if they aren't happy with their map position?  Or, is there a techincal reason?


texts:
In Mists of Pandaria, some gear is now labeled "Elite" or "Heroic Elite". I'm used to Cataclysm having items with "Heroic" to differentiate gear earned in Heroic content (to differentiate it from normal and raid-finder difficulties), but this is the first I've heard of an "Elite" tier of gear.

What makes an item "Elite"? Does it mean anything other than a high iLevel? (I notice that there is also "Heroic Elite")

texts: Wii U - backing up save data onto a flash drive, reformatting the Wii U, and then copying the save data back onto the Wii U

texts:
Due to some complications, I might have to reformat my Wii U (basically go to Settings and select "Delete All Content & Settings"). Based on what I read online, if I do this, I will lose all of my save data and any pre-downloaded software. I had Super Mario 3D World pre-downloaded as part of a bundle when I originally bought the Wii U, and I understand that I will lose the game. So I have a couple of questions:

I backed up all of the save data/software onto a 16 gb flash drive. Once I reformat my Wii U, can I go to data management and just copy the data from the flash drive to the Wii U and keep all of the save data.
From my understanding, my NNID will not be deleted when I reformat the Wii U, so in order to redownload my Super Mario 3d World, I just have to create a new user, link my NNID to this user, and redownload the game from the eShop, is this correct?
I had a Wii before my Wii U, and did a system transfer, and right now I have 2 games on my Wii U that I bought from the eShop (Pokemon Rumble and some other game). I didn't see in "Data & Management" an option to copy this data to my flash drive, so when I reformat my Wii U how will I get these 2 games back - do I have to redownload them from the Wii eShop? Also how do I copy the Wii save data for some of my Wii Games (Mario Kart Wii for example) to my flash drive so I can recopy it back.

Just to clarify, I haven't reformatted my Wii U yet, all I have done is copy all of the software/save data I have to a flash drive.

So I build a service level like the man said I needed to do, but he still won't let me get the credit and give me another mission. Now I've build 2 service levels thinking maybe he wanted me to keep building them but I don't think that's it.

I built a workout center, and no credit. Then I built a millennium expr, and still no credit. It just says the same thing "according to my design you need 1 service level."

It doesn't say 'collect' or anything like it did the last 5 missions I've done. Also I didn't choose those 2 specific levels, I just hit service and the game choose it if that matters. I doubt it tho.

Can someone tell me if they're having the same issue or am I doing something wrong?

texts: Unable to redeem the Gold trial given with Xbox One, "you can’t acquire this item in your currently selected language" error

texts: WorldEdit - replace block if condition is true

texts:
I have a significant amount of chunks of farmland on some hills that I want to plant crops on all at once. I'm considering using WorldEdit to do this but I don't want to just select the whole general area of the farmland and replace all air with seeds (this actually works, from prior experience on a more powerful server) because it'll probably crash my server.

Is there a way to use conditional statements to the effect of "if air block is directly above farmland replace with seeds" to plant these seeds?

texts: Why is Minecraft registering a TAG_String without any quotation marks?

texts:
I've been experimenting with attribute modifiers on items. What's interesting is that each attribute modifier requires a UUID. So I've provided one myself by simply punching in random numbers on my keyboard number pad.
I know that in NBT, the UUID is stored in an Integer Array, which is formatted like this:
[I;1,2,3,4,5,6]

And here are two of my completed commands (this is as minimal as it gets):
give @p diamond_sword{AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.attack_damage",Name:"generic.attack_damage",Amount:1,Operation:0,UUID:[I;385638563,384738473,018492747,395785936]}]} 1
give @p diamond_sword{AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.attack_damage",Name:"generic.attack_damage",Amount:1,Operation:0,UUID:[I;828748274,736284721,276385632,174612674]}]} 1

If you don't want to get that complicated, I've stripped it down to the bare minimums, with these commands using user-defined tags (they don't do anything but make it look cleaner:)
give @p dirt{MyIntArray:[I;123,345,567,789]}
give @p dirt{MyIntArray:[I;123,456,789,012]}

In both of the above examples, one of them causes an error. The other does not. But all I did was enter different numbers. What could be the problem?

texts: How do Dragon Age: Origins Weapon Runes work with damage (fire ice and electric)

texts:
While playing Origins, I started thinking about runes, and how they worked on weapons. For example, I have "Maric's Blade" with a +2 damage fire rune.

Does that damage come from the weapon's damage (I.E Normal Damage -2 damage +2 Fire Damage)  or is it added on? (I.E Normal Damage + 2 Fire Damage)

Also, how does this fit in with spells such as frost weapons?

My "Maric's Blade" has fire rune, and is also Iced, is there any effect to that (such as canceling out), or do I just deal both Fire and Ice damage?

texts: Do magic resistance and flame, frost and shock resistance stack?

texts:
I'm attempting a three-heart run in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I'm not picking up the heart containers after bosses, and I'm trying not to get more than three heart pieces.

So far, I've picked up one heart piece, which I believe might not have been avoidable: playing hide-and-seek in Windfall Village, if I'm not mistaken, is required in order to get access to the cabana later and grab the Triforce piece inside of it.

Also, the first time you get a letter in the mailbox, it contains a heart piece. This means that I have to accept the heart piece if I'm going to do any side quests involving the mailbox later on.

Am I right in believing that it's impossible to complete the game without getting the first heart piece, or could I have skipped it?
If I take both of the heart pieces I mentioned so far, will it be possible for me to finish without being forced to take two more heart pieces? Or are there at least two more main questline events that award me heart pieces?

texts: Why is Player's generic.movementSpeed Attribute listed on Wiki as lower than ALL Mobs, yet you can clearly outrun all of them?

texts:
EDIT: Player's generic.movementSpeed SPRINTING Attribute is listed as 0.15, their WALK speed is listed as even slower (0.1)
Original Post:
A Player's generic.movementSpeed Attribute is listed as 0.15 but a Zombie's is 0.23. We all know players can outrun zombies. I know the English Wiki says that the final number is "about 43 times higher" than generic.movementSpeed value and describes the final value as "Speed of movement in some unknown metric".
I found a foreign language wiki states the equation for speed is: y = 43.178x-0.02141 but as far as I know math that still won't make 0.15 "faster" than 0.23... This foreign wiki even goes as far as to use the formula to calculate a Players final running speed as 6.5m/s when a Zombie has 9.9m/s. There is no similar calculation on the English wiki, but the same calculations are mirrored in an English Wiki "Talk Page" from 2013.
It also seems like all the mobs have appropriate values as the faster mobs have higher numbers; spiders being a 0.3 compared to a Zombie's 0.23 makes sense to what I've seen reflected in-game, just the Player's speed sticks stand out as an oddity.
Then, to top it all off, both Wikis list a "Default Base" of 0.7 for ALL players and mobs... but doesn't say when or how it's applied when all players and mobs all have their own speeds set already.
Any insight? Or is this still an "unknown metric" 7 years on?

I have played the game before and have never come across this symbol for 4 different characters.

I did a bit of looking around and found a similar thing which turned out to be a feature that set up an auto walk after pressing a designated key.

Note: I use a controller, the only time I use the keyboard is when I'm typing in my characters name.

texts: Is the XMP burster range calculated on the server or the client?

texts:
In the new build 1.18.1, XMP burster range has been heavily reduced. I had already upgraded to it, before finding this out and reading suggestions to stick with the previous version.

I expect that the calculations are done server side, and keeping the previous version would just give animation of a large radius explosion, but no real benefit. Assuming this is true, there would be no advantage in downloading an older apk and downgrading.

However, I haven't done tests or read about any definitive information on this. Hence, my question: is the range determined on the client, and an older version would actually make a difference?

I am one to back up my saves(certain game saves don't allow copying). I am also one to format a HDD without realising certain saves were not backed up. Point is, I began backing up my USB Xbox360 save files to my computer for later restoration if this were to happen again.
Now realising I have misplaced an important save, and that the saves are somewhere backed up on a HDD or my P.C. I have found some and tried to copy them back to a USB. I realise that it must be the same USB stick size and type.
It is not working.
So, I am looking for a legitimate way to view my saves or restore them without using a modifying program or hack or whatever.
I recall I had an Exploder(cheat save thing) but don't know what I've done with it as I never used it.
Can I use Xploder(the program) or another program to do this?
I know it is possible, and want it to be legitimate(my saves, not modified).

texts: What to look for in a graphics card for Starcraft 2

texts:
I recently built a half decent PC for home use, media centre and programming. It's based around an AMD Quad Core Phenom. I put a nice 700w power supply in it, 4 gigs of ram and a couple terabytes of disk space. I don't game often so I didn't bother with a graphics card. Recently, I bought starcraft 2 thinking I could while away a few hours with it on my Thinkpad T61p. That doesn't work. the game runs for 10 minutes before the NVidia quadro overheats and the laptop shuts itself down to prevent damage. So I installed it on the PC and it runs but the graphics can get choppy and gameplay is a little slow and jerky. Also, I don't get to use a decent resolution or the game slows right down.

So with a budget of £100 to £200, what should I look for in a graphics card. I know very little about this subject. I currently have one 24 inch display and might add another. I want Starcraft 2 to work the way it's supposed to but I probably won't do a whole lot more gaming than that. If I get a decent card, my son might make use of it for warcraft and stuff like that.

I have seen a XFX HD 6870 for £200 that looks nice and seems to tick all the boxes but I wonder if there are comparably priced NVidia cards that I should look at too. Maybe the Gigabyte GTX 460?

Is it possible to romance all your options in a single game?

texts: How do I get to the loot in Earthen Peak poison pool?

texts:
I have finished Earthen Peak (and drained the poison pool, of course). Now I was returning there on a whim and I noticed there is a pool of poison with loot and player messages. It's the pool where you can run just to the right, get ambushed by a Manikin and open the first Pharros lockstone of Earthen Peak.

How is it possible to get there? I can see player "shadows" running around in the pool so clearly it must be able to get there.

texts: This may sound obvious, but how can you tell how much health your units have in Civilization V?


texts: Are there any persistent results from exploration?

texts:
The E:D galaxy is full of unknown (grey) systems which players – if they have the right equipment – can explore and then sell data from to a faction when they're docked in a station with the Universal Cartographics service.

I haven't tried exploration myself yet, but when I do explore a system and identify some planets, I take it the (previously identified) astronomical bodies will still be identified for me the next time I visit that system?
What about for other players? If I explore a system and then sell the data to a faction, can other players purchase that data in Universal Cartographics (in the same or a nearby station belonging to that faction)? Of course I'm assuming here that the currently available cartographics data is not only coming from the players but would love to stand corrected!
If I sell the data in a station belonging to the Federation, I'd assume the other factions won't get access to the data. But does selling it to the Federation also help that faction "spread" to that particular system in any way?

And to sum it up in a more general question, will (the tiny part) of the galaxy where new players start eventually be fully explored, effectively pushing explorers deeper and deeper into the Milky Way?


texts: If I buy the Destiny Legendary Edition, will my original game data be ignored/overwritten?

My only concern is that I'm not sure if the data from my original Destiny game would be overwritten or ignored by the Legendary Edition. Would it create its own save files like a completely different game? I don't want to get Legendary if that's the case, because all of my items would be completely gone, along with god knows how much play time.


texts: What is the purpose of the Mailbox in the Bastion?

texts:
At the end of my second playthrough of Bastion, I was roaming around one last time around the Bastion area and noticed, to my surprise, a mailbox at the bottom right corner of the central hub. I hadn't seen this before, but apparently it had been there most of the game. I can interact with it, but I just get a witty comment or two from the narrator.

While I can't imagine that the Bastion gets much mail, I feel as though there might have been some sort of purpose for this mailbox other than atmosphere. Am I wrong, and is the only reason for the mailbox to add atmosphere? Or is there some sort of reward or backstory revealed for checking in on the mailbox often or at the right times?

For example, as a Terran player it is difficult to sneak reapers in to the main base as the jump up point is quite close to the ramp.

texts: How is damage determined in Fallen Enchantress?

texts:
Fallen Enchantress gives you basic information about your weapon and armor, summing up your attack rating as "8 cutting," and your defense as a straight number like 24 (though some armor gives extra bonuses against some attacks; chain mail has a bonus against cutting damage, for instance). Unfortunately, the in-game tutorial is pretty useless; it will get you started, but doesn't give any fine details that would help you optimize your play.

How does a weapon's attack rating relate to how much damage you do against an unarmored opponent? How does armor affect the damage? Is elemental/magic damage calculated differently, i.e. can you bypass heavy armor by using fire bolt? If an attack has multiple types, like 9 cutting and 2 fire, how is the damage calculated?

texts: How much HP/MP you get with Vampire/Siphon/Balance runes?

texts:
There are 3 types of runes in this game that will restore some of your HP, MP or both.

Vampire rune = Restores HP when enemy is killed
Siphon rune = Restores MP when enemy is killed
Balance rune = Restores both HP and MP when enemy is killed

Balance rune seems nice, but I'd guess it restores less then other runes.

How much HP/MP do each of this runes restore? Is the amount they restore fixed or is it based on your level or max HP (of either you or the enemy)?


texts: Where can I find other Heide Knights that can drop a Heide's Spear?

texts:
I am debuting a spear build, love the move set. However, since it is my first play-through, I am limited to the normal spear.

Arriving at Heide's Tower of Fire, I was happy to see a Heide Knight, whose armor I love and who has a corresponding spear!

However, it seems that the spear can only be dropped by spear-wielding Heide Knights, and the only spear-wielding one I found (not far from the Dragonslayer Boss room) have stopped respawning without dropping it.

As it is my first play, I don't have any Bonfire Ascetics, and am quite wary of using them. Is there any other place I can access quickly with a spear-wielding Heide Knight?


texts: What happens when you poop on a human as the Peyote Bird (aerial attack)?

I've never successfully pooped on human when in bird form, I wonder what when we successfully land the bird's shit on human, will the human react?

When searching the action house, should I care to filter for one of those 3, or should I just order the list by highest DPS and only look at that (and other affixes that do not affect damage, like life steal)?

Should I prioritise one of them, or are all the same in practical terms?

texts: Do I risk a suspension if I register a Steam key posted in Twitch chat by a streamer?

texts:
In an article "Suspended Steam Account - Why would a Steam account get suspended?" this paragraph may be found (emphasis mine):

- Piracy or Hacking
This includes using an unauthorized ("hacked") Steam client to access Steam, attempting to register fake CD Keys or attempting to register a CD Key which has been published on the internet.

I have heard that if I register someone's retail key, he will even be able to hijack my account via support by showing a scan, claiming that it's his account.
However, I also know that some streamers officially get keys from game developers to publish them in the chat: the first one to activate the key gets it. Is it legal in terms of Steam rules, e.g. do I risk a suspension if I attempt to register such a key?

texts: Non-stackable item sorter with hopper minecart

texts:
I was building an item sorter for my gold farm. Since the drop rates were high, a normal hopper line was not fast enough to move and sort all the items. I built a bunch of tracks to allow a few hopper minecarts to transport all the drops.
However, when it came to the swords (non-stackable), I was having issues. I looked at the mumbo jumbo video Mumbo Jumbo video. That idea worked, but I tried to tweak it to my settings. I used a detector rail to check for the item type in the minecart. The detection works fine, but the activation of the rail when the minecart goes over it locks the hopper below, and the swords do not get sorted.
Is there any way to fix this setup?

texts: Diablo 3 for Console Specifically for Ps3 and Xbox 360 Version Acquisition

texts:
I'm aware that the next gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox 1, are operating on patch 2.3, which brings much of the same content that PC users are experiencing at this time. However as I understand it the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions did not, and will not, receive patches beyond their day 1 status.

I only just recently purchased Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition for my Playstation 3 and I'm having a very hard time establishing where exactly in the patch timeline the game is frozen at.  Information gleamed from google and various forum searches point towards the original Console games as having Nightmare and Hell difficulties in the old D3 style, however my game clearly is updated at least to the point of having Torment Difficulties. I'm completly lost as to what content my console game has and does not have. Is there any way to figure this all out?

texts:
How is stage difficulty determined?

I look into my Zoombini map to be greeted by something strange. Some levels are on "Very Very Hard" difficulty, while others are not even close.

"Titanic Tattooed Toads" and others on that path are on red stage; so how can this be when the Mountains Of Despair are only yellow? What constitutes differences in selection?

Is it the amount played at that path (Who's Bayou, The Mountains Of Despair, etc) that determines the color of one of the path's sections?

I'm kind of against the idea, actually, considering this. Before one and after both campsites, the difficulty is different. Currently "Allergic Cliffs", "Stone Cold Caves", and "Pizza Pass" are hardest difficulty, so you can see that the mediocre difficulty of the Mountains Of Despair is quite disappointing.

Another possibility is number of trips made with the most possible amount of Zoombinis (16). My Zoombinis often collide in BubbleWonder Abyss, so I barely ever get 16 across.

Is my problem

The amount played on one path
Flawless completion on my task

Then I got to the second battle and Zack starts off the battle by stun-locking me until I am KO'd... Well, there went all of my confidence. So, I hit retry, and I'm all ready to dash away this time. Dashed away and... died. Tried to block him... became road kill.

So, my question is, how in the world can I prevent Zack from turning me into a steaming pile of dead with his omnislash?


texts: Battlefield 3 Origin Install issues - error 262145:5

texts:
I recently picked up Battlefield 3 in a physical copy but have had issues with installing it.

Install steps so far:

Inserted disk 1, created an Origin account, and installed Origin. No issues.
Started the install, slow but progress was made. At around 70% it asked for the second disk.
Put in disk 2 (remember, new clean disk) and it progressed to around 85% before saying the disk could not be read.
Gave the disk a quick clean, tried a couple more times with no luck.
Origin gave me the option of downloading the game instead. Hoping that it would use the files previously copied over from the disk. Nope. Looks like it was downloading the whole 16GB.
Cancelled the download.
Copied the content of both DVDs to a local hard disk and tried to install from there.
Same issue - guess a problem with disk 2.
Extracted the content from the disks and pasted them in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Origin Game\Battlefield 3 and started the download again.
Files downloaded slowley and then jumped from a couple of MB to over 11GB (guess it found the files from the disk?)
Managed to download another 4GB of files through Origin.
Have now go to the stage where I regularly get an error message (around 95%) "An unexpected error has occoured. Please try again in a few minutes. Error 262145:5"

262145:5 seems to be an error code not limited to Battlefield 3, but apart from that I can't find much out.

My question here, then, is what are my options? I've heard horror stories about EA's Origin support and would rather not spend an evening trying to talk to someone. I have a couple of friends with Battlefield 3 so could probably use their disks, or copy their install (if that would work). Or I could keep trying and hope it's an issue with Origin.

About a year ago, clicking on the shortcut in my user account would open the games in his user account if he was logged in - I would hear the music, but nothing showed up on my screen or in Task Manager.  I'd have to log him out, in which case Steam would open in my user account, or just play from his user account.

Recently, I got my own Steam account.  Now if I manage to log in on Steam as me, Steam will subsequently open in my user account, even from the shortcuts on my husband's account.  And if he is the last person to log on, Steam only opens in his account.

IF we remember to EXIT (merely logging off of Steam doesn't work), then Steam will load in our own accounts and allow us to log in.  But this only works if my husband remembers to actually exit out.  It's cumbersome to log in as him and fix Steam for myself, and he has a bad habit of randomly changing his password without telling me.

So, what I need is a method where I can, if need be, shut down a Steam running on another Windows user account so I can log in as me.  Preferably I'd like something that can just be bundled into the startup shortcut, like the -login %u %p command.


texts: Sims 3: Difference between "drag here to sell" and consignment store selling?

texts:
What is the difference—if any—between selling a Sim's items, like fish or paintings, in a consignment store, like the Landgraab Sell n' Swap store, and selling them instantly in the inventory using the "drag here to sell" functionality?

I understand that I have to wait a bit for my Sim's items to sell at the consignment store, while inventory selling is instant, but is there any other difference? Can they sell for more at the consignment store, for example? Because if they don't, then the instant selling in the inventory pretty much makes consignment stores redundant and perhaps counter-productive, especially with the waiting and the trip to the store and making sure it is open, right?


texts:
I recently acquired an opinion penalty of tyranny for reasons unknown. The only two things I can think of:

I decided to righteously imprison someone via the popup, then somehow by the time the action was carried out the righteousness was invalidated, which should be impossible as imprisonment is instant. Maybe I opened the popup and by the time I clicked "Imprison" they had their plot auto-stopped.
I have all my vassal levies raised for more than -40 opinion. Every single vassal with the tyranny penalty also has a -40+ opinion penalty for raised levies and the tyranny penalty appeared at roughly the same time the levies penalty went past -40, but this isn't listed on the wiki as being tyrannous.

Are either of these possibilities and is there a way in the console to examine the tyranny penalty (to at least determine when it occurred).


texts: Is there a comprehensive guide to the Pickpocket's Promenade?

texts:
The Pickpocket's Promenade in the Spite is really useful for grinding certain items at lower (pre-POSI) levels. However, to get a substantial amount of Pickpocket's Trophies you need to be very efficient and figuring out all the possible trophies/progress/unseen combinations to devise a good strategy seems very time consuming.

Is there a comprehensive reference of the options available here with success and failure rewards?

All I want to do is change the color of my crosshairs so I can see where I am aiming.

texts:
I made a mistake of building a city in a pretty bad spot - it's on an island, and other than coastal ocean tiles, it only has access to one jungle tile, one gem tile, and one fish tile. With very low access to production and food, its future is pretty bleak. Is there anything useful I can still do with the city?

I thought about

Just leaving it be. It takes ages to build anything there, but other than some unhappiness it doesn't really hurt, I guess.
Trading it to an AI for something. The problem is that this city is right next to my capital, and I'm not thrilled about giving the AI a base there. I also thought about selling the buildings there before trading it away, to make it even more pathetic.
Destroying it somehow. I'm not sure how, since it's a city I built myself so I can't raze it.

Any other ideas?

This is my first post here. I was playing with my friend the other day on my TVHM and decided I wanted to go solo. After rejoining my own solo game, I ended up in the first area with Claptrap outside without his eye. At first, I was confused and tried to use the fast travel station. I had noticed the first mission - My First Gun - had been completed in the HUD display, but the yellow exclamation mark was still present of the gun locker. When I used the fast travel startion, I had no where unlocked (except DLC) I have a few screenshots of the problem.

EDIT: I use a mac to play BL2

In other words, would you advise me to play the first game and/or Invisible War before starting Human Revolution? Or will it be enough to read the plot from Wikipedia?

mithril coils
demonhide boots

Rather than hoping for a bunch of these to drop, it would be much easier to buy them from merchants. But which are statistically most likely to sell these? I can't find any information about which vendors are most likely to sell specific items.


texts: Can I use command blocks to teleport a player who died?

texts:
I need to detect if a player has died and teleport that one to location XY and give the other team a point.

I can detect if a player has died with testfor @a[score_HEALTH=1] applied to a redstone pulse, but that just outputs a signal if a player has died, not who has died.

Is there a way to detect which player has died? Is there a way to use the detected player who has died as an argument in the next command block, like /tp @f X Y Z, where @f stands for the found player of the last command block?

If nothing of that works, are there workarounds?

I want to get it on steam (primarily a PC gamer). Because all progress is backed up on the cloud etc, don't have PSN and won't be getting it.

Is it possible to get game progress so far from my PS4 game to the PC game?
like the save data file? I backed it up from the PS4 to a USB stick, I think the PC game will not recognize it.

I would want to avoid spending another 30 hours to get to the level I am in the game.

Hoping that there is a solution.


texts: Some users can't connect to hosted Minecraft server (but can connect to other servers)

texts:
I'm the admin for a small Minecraft server hosted by Apex Minecraft Hosting. Most of my players can connect fine, but 2 are unable to connect (that I'm aware of). I can get more details from one of them; I was just trying to help the second troubleshoot. They're getting the io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information error - but only when trying to connect to this server. [Edit: the other player is getting a slightly different error, Connection timed out rather than Connection refused] They seem to be able to connect to other servers without issue, so I'm not sure where to start looking. They have the server address correct, the firewall must be fine if they can reach other servers, they're on the whitelist (and would have had a different error message if that was the problem anyway)... what else could be playing up?
The server is lightly modded (1.16.2 Fabric) but fully compatible with the vanilla client, happy to grab more specifics if needed!

Trying to enter the container and manually copying the world results in much of the same. I'd support the backup docker image also does the exact same thing. Albeit over a common network among the container.
I would like to close my vps and as such need to take a backup of the minecraft server that I can run locally. Thanks in advance!


texts: Where can I find all of the secret areas in 'Inferno'?

texts:
I purchased DOOM 3 BFG edition, which includes The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM2, and DOOM3.

I've played the first two episodes (Knee-Deep In The Dead and The Shores of Hell) already, and I'm starting out on the third episode - Inferno.

Like each of the DOOM episodes, there are nine levels - eight normal levels and one secret level in each - I haven't had any success in finding the secret levels in any episode yet, although I managed to clear the first episode with 100% of all secrets and I'll be replaying the second episode soon to get 100% on this also, with any luck.

The nine levels in 'Inferno' are;

E3 M1: Hell Keep
E3 M2: Slough of Despair
E3 M3: Pandemonium
E3 M4: House of Pain
E3 M5: Unholy Cathedral
E3 M6: Mt. Erebus
E3 M7: Limbo
E3 M8: Dis
E3 M9: ??? (Secret Level)

Where are all of the secrets in The Ultimate DOOM Episode 3 - 'Inferno'?


texts: When is the size and shape of an asteroid determined?

texts:
While I was working on an asteroid capture mission, I reverted and retried the launch of my craft many times. I noticed that the mass of the asteroid seemed to be different each time I got to it. It was definitely the same asteroid each time (I was reverting to a saved game in which I was already tracking the asteroid, and its orbit was always the same).

This leads me to believe that the size and shape of the asteroid might be determined neither when it first appears in the tracking station as an unknown object nor when you start tracking it. When are these properties determined? Is it when the asteroid actually comes into view of an owned craft (or other object) for the first time?

Taking Big Bones out first doesn't seem to be possible because he can't be harmed, not even with area effects.

texts: About the additional axe thrown by putting sidearm rune on the frenzy skill

texts:
The skill description makes it seem to as if frenzy runed with sidearm will give a 25% chance of throwing a piercing axe on top of the attack. Is this true or am I misunderstanding something?

Example of what I mean:
Assume I am fighting one single enemy. If the piercing axe procs, will that attack deal 220% weapon damage to my enemy (110% from the normal attack and 110% from the piercing axe)?

If this is true, then what is the point of the maniac rune? The maniac rune will boost dps by an additional 20% of weapon damage (but only when at full frenzy stacks). But the sidearm rune boosts dps by 25% of weapon damage (and is not dependent on having full frenzy stacks).

texts: Cannot maintain a connection to a Battlefield 4 Multiplayer Match on Playstation 4

texts:
I've had my PS 4 and Battlefield 4 (BF4) for about four weeks now; for the first three weeks, it had been rock solid, never a glitch, not a single dropped connection.  For the last week (and more, now), I have been unable to play for more than a couple of minutes before my connection to the server gets dropped.  Playing a full match is nearly impossible.  Sometimes, I can't connect at all.

I have tried the PSN fix - unplug my router and shut off the PS4 for three minutes then try again - which didn't help.
I have tried assigning a static IP to the PS4 and port forwarding more ports than you can shake a stick at*, which also did not help.
Per the @AskPlaystation twitter account, I tried booting to safe mode and rebuilding the database - no changes noted.
Most recently, I did a full system restore and reinstall of BF4, also with no changes noted.
I have tried yelling obcenities in the mic on the controller - no help.

The only correlation I can find is the new patch that was pushed on September 2nd - that is right around when I first noticed connectivity issues.  I'm not saying the patch is the problem, but it is the only change to the system that correlates to the decreased performance.

texts: In theory the void ray can move while attacking.  Is it possible to attack a stationary (non moving target) while moving your void ray?  Or does the void ray have to be attacking a moving target?


texts: Is the Homeworld series compatible with Windows 7 x64?

texts:
I remember I greatly enjoyed the Homeworld series back in the early 2000s, and would like to play the games again.

Homeworld
Homeworld: Cataclysm
Homeworld 2

However, I'm concerned that they may not be compatible with my newer computer.  Do these games work well under Windows 7 64-bit, or are there significant compatibility issues?  Are there any workarounds to enable compatibility, which I should be generally aware of?

I'm looking to have some assurance to compatibility prior to re-purchasing the games.


texts: How do you beat a large (4-5 skulls) raid boss?

texts: How do I beat a large Pokémon (that is 4-5 skulls of 31,000 CP) in a Pokémon GO Raid? If I solo it, I do not come close to beating it, even with maxed Pokémon.


texts: In "Animal Crossing New Leaf," my friend's "perfect fruit" turned out to be rotten. How do perfect fruit turn rotten?


texts: Can you use checkpoints for the no-hit achievments?

texts:
The title is the majority of the question. For the battles that have checkpoints, can I use them to complete the achievements that require you beating them without getting hit?
Such as, can I do the beginning to the first checkpoint without getting hit, then can I then get hit after the checkpoint and restart from it and keep trying until I get that part done without getting hit?


texts:
I'd like to use a comparator  to act when e.g. a testforblock command block attached to a button triggers. But the comparator changes its state only when the button is pressed after the test result changes, while I'd like to have a short pulse if nothing changed, i.e.

previous command block state | new command block state | desired output
           on                |           off           |      off
           off               |           on            |      on
           on                |           on            |      briefly off, then on
           off               |           off           |      briefly on, then off

How can this be achieved?


texts: Making Wii Sports Tennis burn more energy

texts:
How can I play Wii Sports Tennis to make it burn more calories/energy? Notes:

I realize that, even played differently, Wii Tennis doesn't
qualify as exercise.
One way to burn more energy is to never serve, and always
receive. That way, you don't get the "power serve" advantage where
you "automatically" win the point w/ virtually no effort when the
opponent can't return the serve.
Another way: I'm right-handed, and now play with my left hand, on
the theory it requires more energy to co-ordinate my weaker hand
(true?).

These methods help slightly, but are there others?

I considered taping the WiiMote to my arm and then swinging my arm to
control the racket, but I'm guessing that won't be very playable.

I realize the Wii Fit qualifies as exercise, but find the games boring
after a while.

Another game I'd like to "burn more energy" in is Wii Mario Kart.


texts: Can I claim a ship abandoned if a friend exchanges his ship for a crashed ship?

texts: My friend has an exotic that he doesn’t want. I absolutely love it but I don’t want him to abandon it it for nothing. So I thought well if he exchanges it for a crashed starship, would I be able to claim it once he exchanges it since it would then be considered abandoned? Just to clarify if he found a crashed ship and exchanged his exotic for it would I be able to swoop in and claim it for myself?


texts: How long after leaving a game will a Storage Crate despawn?

texts: After our adventures out at sea, my friends and I will pack as much of our supplies as we can into a storage crate, and leave it on the dock of whatever Outpost we end up selling our final haul at. We think we're being nice by doing this, leaving a full stock of supplies to a crew and ship that might spawn at the Outpost... but is there any point to it? Do the Storage Crates despawn at some point? We have no way of sticking around after we leave the game to be sure a crate stays.
