Is there a summary for Guild Wars 2 lore somewhere?

Posted: 20 Jul 2021 03:33 AM PDT

I'm slightly interested, but not interested enough to click through every dialogue and play through every living story. Is there an article that summarizes the events so far somewhere?

Unable to pull a chain in Emulated Twilight Princess

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 11:27 PM PDT

I'm emulating the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess on Dolphin. I'm currently in the Arbiter's Grounds dungeon. In the first room, you have to use platforms to jump over some quicksand to reach a chain, which you can pull to open the gate nearby that leads to the next room. However, when I attempted to pull the chain, nothing happened. I checked various guides and playthroughs but I haven't seemed to miss anything. I want to know if I'm doing something wrong, is this a gamecube bug, or is it a problem with the emulator.

Name for games that have abusive in app purchases

Posted: 20 Jul 2021 12:25 AM PDT

I am looking for a new game and finding searching hard.

The problem is that most games have in app purchases these days. So I eliminate a lot of quality games by trying to filter those out.

But at the same time, some games are abusive with it. Frequently requiring an in app purchase every few levels or to replace hours and hours of pointless grinding.

I want to filter out the second kind, but not all of them. I have found that "pay to win" comes close, but it is not the same. I have played many great games that allow paying to win, but did not require it.

Is there a common term (that I can use for searching) that means games with in app purchases where you HAVE to pay or you CAN'T win?

Can my XBOX mimic these features from the PS4/5?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 10:53 PM PDT

With my PS4 and now the PS5 I noticed that when I do the following(described below), certain things happen, and I'm trying to figure out if the Xbox can do the same thing.

I've noticed that with my PS4/5:

  1. When I have my TV(LG C1 and previously my Samsung QLED) off, and I power on the PS5 using the controller, the TV(both of them) automatically turns itself on and puts itself on the appropriate HDMI input.
  2. When the TV is already powered on, but on another input that's not the PS input, and I hit the "home" button on the controller, it auto switches the HDMI input to that of the PS
  3. Lastly, the PS4 and 5 can be controlled by the TV (both of them) remotes.

Not sure what this functionality is called otherwise I would have googled it but, I find these features to be pretty simple but cool and I'm wondering, is this something that I can do with my Xbox Series X? or Xbox in general?

What's the use of this section in RP window panel?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:14 PM PDT

In main menu, top right corner, there's a RP icon to click:

enter image description here

After clicking it, then this window panel open (my doubt):

It contains:

2 graffiti bottle, 1 parachute trail and RP badge.

What's the use of this section in RP window panel?

Minecraft fully-auto fuel source?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:52 PM PDT

(I believe) I'm using the latest version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition (1.17.10) and I want to know if I can design a fully-auto fuel system for furnaces/smokers/blast furnaces?

Things I've thought about:

I've wondered about kelp, but you have to craft dried kelp into kelp blocks to use it as fuel, so I don't think this is possible

Maybe bamboo would work? The only thing with bamboo is that it doesn't last long as fuel, so I'd probably need massive amounts of it to keep smokers going.

How about lava with drip stones to fill cauldrons so I can use lava buckets? I don't know how to get something to fill a bucket with lava, place it into a smoker for fuel, come out afterwards, and grab more lava!

Question: Can someone give a link or an idea of how to make a FULLY-auto fuel source to keep at least 1 smoker going all day? If needed, I can scale up from whatever you all come up with.

As always, thanks!

Is there a Minecraft Java client mod for managing inventory from another device?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 11:38 PM PDT

The idea is that I could use a phone or tablet to connect to my local Minecraft instance (perhaps it's running a local server) and have an inventory screen available, and I could use the device to move around my inventory, change my hotbar, perhaps drop items and do 2x2 crafting as well. You could think of it like using a detached version of the touch screen on the Nintendo 3DS.

Does a mod like this exist? If not, is there a reason it could not exist (e.g. because certain forms of communication are blocked even under Minecraft mods), or could it theoretically be made?

(EDIT: To clarify, I tried searching for a mod like this online, but Minecraft inventory is a very loaded search topic, and the results I'm getting are all about changing the way Minecraft's inventory UI behaves in game, or changing the properties of the inventory from a gameplay perspective.)

Minecraft(Java edition) Mob farm will not kill spiders

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 01:26 PM PDT

I built a mob farm following this tutorial:

The farm works as intended for killing creepers, zombies and skeletons, but it does not kill spiders.

My best guess is that spiders climb up the walls to avoid getting killed, as seen here.

Is there any way to circumvent this problem?

Thanks!

Diablo 3 PS4 Drowned Temple Main Quest Bug

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:47 AM PDT

I just started playing D3 after some time, the main story quest got bugged. I don't have any fragment, nor I had one to pick up. There are no objectives or active quests. Restarting the game / console doesn't help at all. Did anyone experienced same issue, if so what is the fix, please?

Diablo 3 PS4 Drowned Temple issue

My friends can't connect to my Minecraft Hamachi server

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 08:35 AM PDT

My internet provider doesn't lets me to open ports unless I buy a static IP. So I researched a bit and learned that I can use Hamachi to open a server to play with my friends without opening ports. I downloaded and sucsessfully set up minecraft server files. When I double click the server.jar file, a GUI pops up and starts the server. Later I installed Hamachi and created a new network. According to the tutorial video, I copied the Hamachi's ipv4 adress and pasted inside server.properties file. But now when I double click the server.jar file, a GUI pops up and instantly closes.

To see the error message, I runned the server.jar file from command prompt and saw below output:

[18:25:44] [main/INFO]: Environment: authHost='https://authserver.mojang.com', accountsHost='https://api.mojang.com', sessionHost='https://sessionserver.mojang.com', servicesHost='https://api.minecraftservices.com', name='PROD'  [18:25:44] [main/WARN]: Ambiguity between arguments [teleport, location] and [teleport, destination] with inputs: [0.1 -0.5 .9, 0 0 0]  [18:25:44] [main/WARN]: Ambiguity between arguments [teleport, location] and [teleport, targets] with inputs: [0.1 -0.5 .9, 0 0 0]  [18:25:44] [main/WARN]: Ambiguity between arguments [teleport, destination] and [teleport, targets] with inputs: [Player, 0123, @e, dd12be42-52a9-4a91-a8a1-11c01849e498]  [18:25:44] [main/WARN]: Ambiguity between arguments [teleport, targets] and [teleport, destination] with inputs: [Player, 0123, dd12be42-52a9-4a91-a8a1-11c01849e498]  [18:25:44] [main/WARN]: Ambiguity between arguments [teleport, targets, location] and [teleport, targets, destination] with inputs: [0.1 -0.5 .9, 0 0 0]  [18:25:44] [main/INFO]: Reloading ResourceManager: Default  [18:25:44] [Worker-Main-13/INFO]: Loaded 7 recipes  [18:25:45] [Worker-Main-13/INFO]: Loaded 1137 advancements  [18:25:46] [Server thread/INFO]: Starting minecraft server version 1.17.1  [18:25:46] [Server thread/INFO]: Loading properties  [18:25:46] [Server thread/INFO]: Default game type: SURVIVAL  [18:25:46] [Server thread/INFO]: Generating keypair  [18:25:46] [Server thread/INFO]: Starting Minecraft server on 25.51.131.200:25565  [18:25:46] [Server thread/INFO]: Using default channel type  [18:25:46] [Server thread/WARN]: **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!

When I remove the IP adress from server.properties file and run the server.jar file, as I said a GUI pops up and starts the server. As a result I can join to my server by typing localhost; but as it's local my friends who are from another country can't join to my server that way.

Here is a screenshot of my current Hamachi configuration:

enter image description here

And this is the diognastics tool result:

enter image description here

I've already tried allowing javac.exe, javaw.exe, hamachi's executable etc from firewall but this didn't changed anything.

By the way unlike other VPNs, Hamachi doesn't changes my ip at all. Even Hamachi was on and running, my ip was different from Hamachi copies to the clipboard. Is that normal?

Restart / reboot didn't help, trying to reinstall game altogether.

Not receiving the key to the sewers in Stardew Valley

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 10:18 PM PDT

I have donated 60 items to Gunther and am playing on Xbox, so I have no mods or hacks. For some reason I didn't get the sewer key the day following reaching 60 items donated. I even did the magnifying glass thing and I have done all the cutscenes to allow it. To clarify, I now have 63 items in total, just in case my info is wrong.

How do I add addons to Minecraft Bedrock edition on the Xbox by converting a USB hard drive to be used for a computer?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:43 PM PDT

I found a program to convert the hard drive to be able to be used for a computer. However, how do I open the files? One of them is Microsoft.MinecraftUWPConsole_8wekyb3d8bbwe.UWA, which is probably Minecraft, but I cannot open it.

I have tried notepad and opening the file as an archive with 7zip but both did not work.

LoL - slow loading/recovery of client after game ends

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:13 PM PDT

Since a certain patch - I cannot determine which one, like 6 months ago - I began experiencing an issue where my client is stuck on a "Game in progress..." screen for a minute after I finish a game. I tried:

  • reinstalling LoL
  • reinstalling LoL to a brand new SSD
  • moving my TEMP/TMP directories to said SSD
  • killing the LeagueOfLegends.exe process after game
    • this seemed to have an effect as opposed to the other tries: The client returns to the post-game screen immediately, but is extremely slow - graphs load slowly, returning to the party screen (Play again) works, but my friends do not see me as connected, after the minute passes (during which no actions are viable) a lot of screens blink and then the party screen opens again and everything works
  • letting the client close during a game
    • this just causes it to open immediately and then proceed with "Game in progress..." as before.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Multiple Profiles/Players on New Pokemon Snap?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 10:13 PM PDT

I just recently purchased New Pokemon Snap Digital Download on my Switch. My husband has a separate account on our switch and was unable to play (it was purchased on my account). If he plays on my account is there a way to create a new profile or does he have to continue where my game left off?

When can Super Troops be unlocked and which can I use if I maxed out the previous TH level?

When can I unlock Super Troops? I see Super Troops attacking my base, and I have super troops portions which I am unable to use.

Hardware calibrate xbox360

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 10:12 AM PDT

I am triing to recover an xbox360 wireless controle.

It had its L stick in bad shape, so i de-soldered and re-soldered a new part. The issue is, its "zero position" isn't zero.

enter image description here

If i move the the axis and let go, it always come back to that place... I think is something with the potentiometer calibration.... is there any way to fix it?

Disable a button on an Xbox controller on Windows?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 06:06 AM PDT

So, here's my use case - I own a Band Hero drumkit for the Xbox 360. It gets picked up by my Xbox 360 wireless receiver on Windows without any issues, and it's even recognised as a drum kit. So far, so good.

However, the moment I strike any of the drum heads, the controller registers a button 9 press that remains held for as long as the kit is turned on. This, as you can imagine, makes it impossible to map the pads to anything useful - everything gets mapped to that blasted button 9.

I decided to figure out what button 9 even is, and as it turns out, it's the left stick button press. The drum kit doesn't even have any thumbsticks, so I have zero idea why it's even sending out the signal.

So, here's my question: is it possible to disable that particular button through the drivers somehow? I could just buy a replacement drum brain, but those are increasingly scarce, and if there's an easy software fix, I can live with that.

How to teleport back to my freighter?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 01:30 PM PDT

Since the newest Desolation Update (v2.60) Teleporters can now be built aboard Freighter Bases. The changelog says "These variants do not require power. They can be used to teleport to other teleporters, or to the Space Station."

I have successfully built such a Teleporter on my freighter without any further requirements like a Base Computer. My first teleportation worked as expected.

But how can I return?

Does the changelog entry means that we can teleport FROM the freighter to any other known teleporter, but NOT BACK to the freighter?

Or do you know how to choose the freighters teleporter as destination address?

Random crashing in Moviebattles II

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:06 PM PDT

In Moviebattles II (a full conversion mod for Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy), I occasionally experience random crashing while playing online. So far it has only happened while I'm alive in-game and playing as a Sith or Jedi, but I'm not sure if it could happen at other points too (I don't play as a gunner that much). I'm using the Moviebattles II client, and Steam Integration is turned off (it was always buggy for me).

Here is the log in case it is useful. I am using Windows 8.1. The game used to work fine for me but in the past 4 days or so it has started crashing. Is there a fix to this?

How to use PS4 controller's audio output via Bluetooth on PC?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 05:03 PM PDT

When the PS4 controller is connected via the USB cable to the PC, it can be used as an audio device if I plug my headphones into the controller.

Is it somehow possible to use them as an audio device, when I connect the controller via Bluetooth? They can output the sound transmitted via Bluetooth when they're used on a PS4, I would guess that it is somehow possible.

If not via plain Bluetooth, might it work with the USB adapter made by Sony?

Important: It is not meant for remote play. I want to play PC games with it.

Thank you! :)

What are all the ways to get stardust in Pokémon Go?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:44 AM PDT

Anytime I caught Pokemon, it gave me 100 stardust. As far as I know, this is a set number you get regardless of what is being caught. Also, I've yet to see another way to get stardust.

So, when I captured an Eevee today, I was confused by my stardust total.

5256 stardust

Somehow I managed to get 5,256 stardust. Since I've only ever noticed stardust increment in 100s, I'm guessing I missed something. Are there other ways of getting stardust or am I wrong in thinking each successful capture always gives 100?

How to become invisible to opped members in minecraft?

Posted: 20 Jul 2021 03:41 AM PDT

I have installed a plugin called Vanish No Packet in a Minecraft Bukkit Server in which I play with my friend. I am the owner of the server but my friend is also op. I thought of trolling him by becoming invisible but he was able to see me. What can I do so that even the op players can't see me? What changes do I have to make in the permissions file? You can also download my server's permission file and make changes. Thanks!

How do attachments that add damage effects to projectiles work?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 08:00 AM PDT

I'm trying to optimize the DPS and effectivity of my weapons. With that goal in mind, I would like to know how attachments that add damage effects to projectiles work.

Those attachments are:

I would like to know:

  • How do these attachments compare to each other in terms of damage added to each projectile?
  • How do they add damage?
    • Is it a multiplier or a constant amount added per projectile?
    • Are there attachments that will work better with low per projectile damage, high rate of fire weapons; instead of high per projectile damage, low rate of fire weapons, and vice-versa?
    • How do they stack with Upgrade Circuits that increase damage?
  • What are their effects on enemies? Does the enemy react differently, depending if the projectile that hit them comes with electricity, flame or acid?

How do I go about cleaning up the corruption in Riften?

How do I go about cleaning up Riften or is it actually not possible? It seems all hope is lost for the citizens of Riften, but they still have me!

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix for the colour blind

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 11:10 AM PDT

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo CD Remix is an enjoyable game, however, for those afflicted with certain types of colour blindness like myself it can prove extremely difficult to play. The green and yellow gems look identical to me, and I can't seem to find an way to change their colour or design to make telling them apart easier, or possible for that matter.

Up to now I've had my friends tell me which blocks are coming down, and then I need to do my best to memorize the locations of the blocks once I've dropped them. In the heat of puzzley battle though, this isn't ideal.
enter image description here

Is there any other way for me to tell the green and yellow blocks apart, or better yet is their some way for me to either change the block colour or add unique designs for each colour?
