Do Battlefield 4 and its expansions have different stories?

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 04:03 AM PDT

I finished the single player campaign of Battlefield 4. Later I found out that it has expansions.

Now my question is if Battlefield 4 and its expansions have different story lines or not?

How does one summon specific tropical fish variants in Bedrock Edition?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 08:29 PM PDT

I recently was on my world trying to summon specific tropical fish variants via some commands that I found online that were shown to work for Java Edition, however if I attempt to type that same command out on my MineCraft Bedrock world, I would just get an error message.

I've also tried looking everywhere on the internet about if there's any Bedrock Edition alternative commands to spawn specific tropical fish variants but found nothing really of use.

I'm not sure if either there is a Bedrock Edition alternative to the command, or it's another instance of Bedrock Edition missing a command feature.

Regardless though, if anyone knows if there's a way to get the command to work on Bedrock Edition it would be greatly appreciated.

CS:GO Error - Auto-Disconnect problem (Custom servers only)

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 04:28 PM PDT

I can play in "official" servers without any issue (like competitive match/casual etc). but when I go into a custom server, after few seconds it shows this error: "Warning: Connection problem, Auto-disconnect in: 00:25 seconds". enter image description here

I tried to verify files, reinstall game.. it didn't fix.

What's the conditions for Genis to get Stone Blast?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 03:12 PM PDT

What's the conditions for Genis to get Stone Blast? An online guide just says it happens when he reaches Level 3?

But he's been level 3 for a while... And I assume he gained the spell in battle, after casting Fire Ball 50 times?

How do I combine stacks of items in inventory?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 02:33 PM PDT

In Planet Explorers (PC, Steam), I've given my follower some ammo (arrows). Every time I transfer a batch of ammo to her, it appears as a separate stack in her inventory. If I take the ammo back, it appears in separate stacks in my inventory.

My inventory has a "split" button at the bottom to split stacks ... but how do I combine stacks? These are all identical wooden arrows.

Help With Joining Minecraft LAN

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 02:27 PM PDT

My sister and I have been trying to join each other on a LAN Minecraft Bedrock world. She uses a school IPad and I use a regular one. We get on the same network, and we're friended on Xbox, but it always says "unable to join." The weirdest part about it is whenever we're playing with friends, we're both always able to join their worlds, but never our own! If one of my friends is on my world, then she can join, but when they aren't she can't. It's super annoying, and if someone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

When can I unlock Ultimate difficulty?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 01:25 PM PDT

In NEO: The World Ends with You, how far do I need to progress in the story to unlock Ultimate difficulty? I tried searching myself, but stopped after the first article I opened revealed late-game spoilers.

Does it stand for sign-in and sign-up? https://sisu.xboxlive.com/ [closed]

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 12:58 PM PDT

I was confused about whether to post this question in the coding or gaming community, but it's really simple, so here:

Does 'sisu' in https://sisu.xboxlive.com/ stand for sign-in and sign-up? It would make sense because that's where it took me to sign in to my Xbox account. Just wondering.

Command Block Door - Minecraft PE

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 12:23 PM PDT

I have searched this forum and the internet, but all the proposed solutions don't work for one reason or another.

Background:
I built a (somewhat large) hotel/resort in my world, and I was interested in adding a keycard system for the doors. Because of the way the structure is built (and there is no way I remodel something this size), there is only room for three blocks under the door, and one next to it.
Horrible example below:

|xxxxxxxxxx|DoorIsHere|OpenBlock|
|OpenBlock|OpenBlock|OpenBlock|

Is there a way I can create a system to unlock the door when tapped by the player (and only the player) with the key using these four open blocks? There are over 100 doors, and each would need its own key, plus, I would like a master key if that is possible. I would like to avoid the use of mods, but if that is the only way...

Thanks for any help!

How do I level up new heroes in Genshin Impact?

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 04:01 AM PDT

I have pulled some new heroes from a recent banner, but the story quest I am trying to do has level 49 enemies.

When using my 'best' team, they are not strong enough and just die all the time. I've tried lots of different team combinations, and have died every time.

What effective techniques can I use to level up my lower level heroes? As fighting level 50 enemies at level 1 is not working for me and is ruining my enjoyment of the game, as I feel stuck.

Minecraft(on MAC) has Hotbar Scrolling issue

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 08:40 PM PDT

I have Minecraft installed on my new Mac but there is an issue with the scrolling in the Hotbar. I have to scroll multiple times just to move forward one slot. I used to play Minecraft on Windows but this issue never happened.

I have increased the scroll speed and tracking speed but to no change. Is there any way to fix this? Or is it a compatibility issue?

Any way to change the position of the /title command?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 08:36 PM PDT

When using the /title command it displays right in the center, I was wondering if there was any to display it somewhat to the left or right. I have tried using invisible characters but Minecraft just ignores them when rendering it. So, any ideas?

Do copper blocks oxidize indoors?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:17 PM PDT

Does Minecraft 1.17.1 do any check to see if a copper block is sheltered before oxidizing it?

If so, what are the requirements for the shelter? Does it have to be enclosed, or just have a roof?

Can you get Minecraft Java for free if you have purchased Minecraft Bedrock?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:20 PM PDT

I recently downloaded Minecraft from the Microsoft Store and have been playing for a month or two. I decided to try out a few mods and that led me to realise that I had Minecraft Bedrock not Java, and after reading a few articles I believe it is not possible to downloads mods on Minecraft Bedrock. Is there any way for me to 'switch' to Java or get a discount or refunded on Minecraft to get Minecraft Bedrock?

Or if you can download mods on Bedrock, could you please tell me how?

Is there any reason not to sell money pins?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 02:58 PM PDT

In the original The World Ends With You, it was often worth holding on to a few money pins instead of selling them, as they were needed to trade for certain quest items. I was following the same plan in NEO: The World Ends With You until I saw there was an unlockable ability called "ShibuPay Autoload" that automatically sells money pins as soon as you get them.

Is there any reason to hold on to money pins in NEO: TWEWY? Or are they safe to sell immediately?

Does repairing the ship before scrapping yield better results?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 04:19 PM PDT

I noticed repaired ships sell better (more units) but does it also yield better scraps? E.g.: better modules, higher chances of storage augmentation units...

Where best to finish "A Dam Fine Rescue"

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:55 PM PDT

Are there any advantages (or disadvantages) to finishing "A Dam Fine Rescue"

as opposed to deliberately waiting for

and finishing the mission there?

Are there any tricks to getting auto-petters quickly after the Community Center was completed?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 11:52 PM PDT

I'm playing the 1.5 update of Stardew Valley, but I'm continuing an old save file where I already finished the Community Center bundles. So buying an auto-petter from Joja-Mart isn't an option anymore. I've seen I can get them as a reward from Skull Cavern treasure rooms though.

So far, I've been digging for about a year, with no success. If I have a very lucky day, I ignore harvesting and animal husbandry and use the warp totem to spend my whole day mining (while having eaten some spicy eel for extra luck and speed). On such days, I can get 0-5 treasure rooms (the 5 only happened once). If my days aren't extraordinarily lucky, I do my chores and basically spend the afternoon and evening mining, getting anywhere between 0-2 treasure rooms.

I've gotten a lot of stuff from the treasure rooms, but it seems to always be the same: dark cowboy hats, (mega) bombs, sprinklers, and cactus seeds. With very occasionally a seed maker or crystalarium. Looking at the wiki the chance of getting an auto-petter should be about the same as getting all this other stuff, but even so I'm getting massive amounts of bombs and hats, and almost nothing of the other 1/25 chance stuff. This makes me think I'm doing things wrong.

Seeing as I need at least 2 auto-petters, and preferably would like 4 of them, are there any tricks I can use to acquire them faster? (I don't mind if that means 'cheating').

Minecraft scoreboards: how do I track how many times a player kills another specific player?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 09:04 PM PDT

So I'm trying to create a scoreboard that tracks the kills of players, but I only want it to increase when they kill a specific player, in this case just the player IGN would do.

I was thinking it would be something like:

/scoreboard objectives add (scoreboardName) minecraft.killed:(player)

but I haven't got it working.

What command should I use?

Btw this is in 1.16.4

How does the Free Freighter quest REALLY work in No Man's Sky?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:10 PM PDT

The first time the player completes a freighter rescue mission in No Man's Sky they are given the option to obtain said freighter for free. If the freighter is not accepted, this option is carried on to the next rescue until the player finally accepts - from that point onward, any new freighter must be bought normally.

Given this is an one-time offer, most players try to use the "free freighter" option to obtain one of the two "Capital" models (Venator / Sentinel) and just stick with it. Multiple tutorials exist to guide players in the process to acquire their preferred ship for free, usually listing a process similar to the following.

  • wait until the next warp will trigger a freighter rescue battle.
  • SAVE BEFORE WARPING
  • warp to a new system. Look at the freighter - if it is one you don't like, reload the save and go to a different system.
  • if the freighter is the one you were looking for, do not save it yet. Go to the system space station, perform a quick save, reload the save and exit the station.
  • every time you reload the quick save and exit the station, the battle will be triggered again. This allows for "easy" freighter class scumming (every time the battle is triggered, the freighter gets a random class, so it is possible to redo the battle until you get an "S" version).

Things get a little more fuzzy when one is trying to get a capital ship. The available guides usually don't fully agree on the required steps.

  • some claim that the first freighter is always a regular one but if you refuse it the second offer is guaranteed to be a capital one
  • some claim that you can get a capital ship on the first offer but only in three star economy system (normally, an higher economy level means the system offers rarer ships)
  • some claims that the first time you are offered a free freight the number of inventory slot is capped to 19 and that in turn doesn't allow capital versions to spawn (since the worst capital ship would still have more than 19 slots)
  • some claim that the real caveat is that the first rescue mission is offered at about 5 warps but capital ships requires at least 8 warps, so they are not yet unlocked when the player get their first rescue mission (but extreme speed-runs may be able to bypass this limit since there is also a minimum total-playtime requirement that may allow players to get to the required 8 warps before their first battle).

I have passed the point where I can test this in my game, but recently a friend was asking me for some hints about this very topic. Since they don't have access to portal coordinates yet, they can't just use the Coordinates Exchange archive to go to system that has the ship they like. For that reason, I was trying to make sense of the various theories, but couldn't find a definitive answer.

So, I am asking if anyone here can link a source that backs up its claims with actual data (maybe from datamining the game logic or quoting word of god / patch notices).

Sword damage with armor in Minecraft Bedrock

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 03:46 PM PDT

How can I calculate how much damage I deal to an opponent? The Minecraft wiki shows damage taken when the opponent is hit with no armor.
But if my opponent has full iron, and I hit them with a diamond sword, is it possible to calculate how much damage they just took?

Is Sketch affected by accuracy drops or evasion?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 03:38 PM PDT

Let's say an opponent used 6 Sand Attacks/Smokescreens on me and I then attempt to use Sketch; will Sketch be more likely to fail?

What if the opponent used Double Team or Minimize?

Does generation matter?

Items going through blocks while farming

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 03:52 PM PDT

So I know similar questions have been asked before, but I haven't gotten any answers.

I am in a creative world making a basalt generator on Minecraft Bedrock. The prototype works, but some of the basalt is going through the glass. I have an extra layer on top, but it's still goes through. The farm works by having the basalt generate and then I mine it with an Efficiency 5 pickaxe.

Should I use a slower pickaxe? Should I use a different block other than glass?

How does difficulty affect XP rewards in Co-op Vs. AI matches?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 04:01 PM PDT

Previously, in League of Legends, Co-op Vs. AI games would give different XP rewards based on the player's summoner level and the difficulty level of the bots. The old rates can still be see on the League of Legends Wiki here.

However, the table shown on that page is out of date, as it does not include the "intro" difficulty level or summoner levels beyond 30. The Riot Support page provides updated numbers for how summoner level affects XP rewards (assuming that "Level 30" means "Level 30+"), but makes no mention of how difficulty might affect those rewards.

Does difficulty still affect XP rewards from Co-op Vs. AI games in any way, or are rewards now consistent across all difficulty levels?

Why is discord displaying what I’m playing when I have no connections?

Posted: 15 Aug 2021 05:03 PM PDT

I connected discord to my xbox live account and I played a game. I got out of it, later disconnected my xbox live account from discord, and it still says I'm playing the game I was playing even though I wasn't even on the xbox. It said I was playing a certain game for 22 hours, and I can't turn it off. I have the discord mobile app, and my friend took it off. Later I went back on that game and the same thing happened. How do I fix this?

Black Screen when alt-tab or exiting fullscreen games in Windows 10

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 01:30 AM PDT

When I use alt+tab on a fullscreen game to go back to the Desktop in Windows 10, most of the time the screen goes black. It doesn't happen all the time which is makes this even more confusing. It also turns black sometimes after exiting the game. I have a single monitor and an Nvidia Graphics card. Some things I've found about this:

  • I can press alt+tab again and it comes back to the game
  • I can press Windows+P two or three times and Enter to blindly try to switch to multiple monitors setup, doing two or three times gets me back to the desktop
  • I can unplug and plug again the HDMI cable and it gets me back to the desktop
  • It also happens if I try to press alt+enter to get the game to go to windowed mode

It has happened to me in the games Overwatch, Destiny2, DragonAge Origins and the Final Fantasy XV Demo, so I'm pretty sure it's a general error when going fullscreen.

Here's some research I've done for similar problems.

  • This thread in Steam forums talk about something similar in several games on Windows 7 due to the monitor set to 59hz by default. I checked and mine is set to 60hz.
  • This thread in Nvidia forums talk about this problem in GTA and they solve it by renaming the executable to something other than gta_sa.exe. This I haven't tried since I open the games from the Steam/Blizzard launchers.

Is there a way to solve this?

Update Here are the things I've tried and haven't worked:

  • Updating Nvidia Drivers
  • Switching refresh rate to 59Hz

Edit 2018-12-18 It's been a long time since I asked this question. Both Windows 10 and Nvidia Drivers had several updates since then and now I don't have this problem anymore. But I did used fullscreen windowed mode when available until I found the problem fixed itself so I'll mark that as the answer.

How does the passive item Unity add damage from your other guns?

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 03:00 AM PDT

The passive item Unity supposedly adds 2% of the damage of every other gun you're carrying to your currently equipped gun. How does it handle things like shotguns (which have multiple bullets that consist of most of their damage), charged weapons (which have different damage ratings), or explosive weapons (which deal at least part of their damage as an explosion)? How does it calculate the damage from beam weapons? The exact damage calculation is sure to be less than straightforward.

Vim Adventures- Level 7 - Stuck on: What's in a name

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 03:21 AM PDT

This game is great, but I'm stuck on the What's in a name poem, and I don't want to give it away with my question, but I really need some help:

   What's in a na[m]e?     That which we call     a rose     By any other name  -> would still smell as sweet.

enter image description here

The entrance to the puzzle is at the arrow going into the w in would. The [m] in name is an un-passable block. The a in name is the exit, moving upwards.

My key collection includes:

~   $%^   0    wert      dfghjkl;   zx  b  ,

enter image description here

I think I can say the following without giving away any spoilers:

I can make it TO the a in name 5 different ways but I'm always missing that last turn to get off the platform.

I can get to the a with 0 turns left using my newest key: g or without it. One way of me getting that far involves the $ key I can't think of any ways that my other new keys: t f ; , can benefit me.
