Can I cancel a long Arte?

Posted: 14 Sep 2021 12:50 AM PDT

I am fighting against Earthen Mass enemies who are weak to Wind. However using Alphen's Orochi's Galeforce Fury, which is a wind arte, means I can be hit and knocked out of the arte by enemies. It is a three hit arte which has a total animation time of about 2 seconds.

Is there a way for me to cancel an arte or interrupt it to dodge? Or do I have to time my arte usage based on the enemies attack patterns?

I am playing on semi-auto battle mode.

An ios physics game where you control a marble [closed]

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 05:31 PM PDT

I have played a game on ipad about 6-7 years ago and i am trying to remember its name. It is a physics platform game where you control a marble by swiping. Friction and gravity changes per some levels. You also sometimes get into a contraption with the marble and fly with it. From time to time, there are crane like structures which you can get into and use to finish the levels. Anybody knows such a game?

How do I build downwards?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 09:25 AM PDT

Just opened up my previous save game in No Man's Sky (Steam, PC) and it seems like with the latest update and the redesigned build menu, I can no longer build down. Is there a way to do this anymore?

Specifically, I have some bases that are built from a series of small cuboid rooms. My bases appear unchanged, but I can't build any further down than I've already built into the earth. I can build upwards, I can build horizontally, but I can't build down to create new "basement" levels. I've tried both with the regular camera and the build camera, also "free" placement and "grid" placement.

Previously, when I focused on a previously placed room, one of the available grid snap positions was down. Now, it appears to offer to let me build an intersecting room for some reason:

Attempting to build downwards

... however horizontal placement still seems to work as it used to:

Attempting to build horizontally

How do I build down? Or am I now stuck with however "deep" I managed to build my bases prior to this update?

I've tried deleting an existing room and rebuilding it, thinking that maybe the "legacy" pre-update rooms might be in some sort of weird state, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Will my progress save as a guest account?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 11:08 AM PDT

If I have been playing in creative mode in a guest account in Minecraft, will my progress be saved if I sign in? I have looked at other people's answers, but so far I have only found things about survival mode.

Why is my PS4 controller showing up as "rdamicro" on my PC?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 11:52 PM PDT

Instead of showing up as wireless controller, it shows up as "rdamicro."

I plugged in my PS4 controller to my PC and I have installed ds4windows and its drivers, but my PC is detecting my controller as "rdamicro" when it's supposed to be a wireless controller when it's plugged in.

Can't run SCP - Containment Breach on mac with Wine

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 07:16 AM PDT

I'm trying to run SCP - Containment Breach on mac with wine. My mac has very limited storage space, and as a result, I don't have enough space for boot camp.

Basically, I had a problem where when trying to load the game, at 45% loading, it would give me a memory access violation error. I looked around, and found a way to fix it. Now that's fixed, but now I'm presented with a new error. The game says 'cannot load fog.jpg', and won't load any further. Any help?

Resources packs are missing from the DLC page in Dead Space 3. How can I spend my ration seals?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 11:51 PM PDT

As you know, the game has a mechanism that allows you to earn ration seals. These seals can then be used to buy resources packs from within the game, which give the player with some resources and some "MK-V" parts to upgrade your weapons. The advantage being that the "MK-V" parts, unlike their normal counterparts, have extra stats bonus.

A screenshot depicting the DLC store in the game. The resource packs tab is being selected, with only one product available: "Ultra Weapon and Resource Pack". That back can be bought for €1.99 or 30 ration seals. The description is partly visible, saying: "Even the odds with an Ultra Weapon and Resource Pack. Each pack is guaranteed to contain one MK-V Supercharged weapon part, with a 50% chance at a..."

However, many PC players (both on Steam and off Steam) have experienced problems with the ration seals: they can't spend them.

They're supposed to be purchasable with real money or with ration seals. But for some reasons, for many players, the ration seals don't appear among the list of DLCs anymore.

Is there a way to fix this issue and spend ration seals to purchase resources packs as intended?

"multiplayer service log in error

unable to log in to multiplayer service please try again "

I get the above error message when trying to matchmake or search for a match online on windows 10, windows store killer instinct (free version). I don't have any paid xbox subscriptions.

I have checked that

  • xbox live auth manager, and networkign services are active under the services menu
  • run the "check" and "fix it" options from Xbox Networking
  • relaunching the game (after fix it or restarting computer)
  • restarted computer after doing the above

How to end the game in 2-player Lemmings (Super Nintendo), with no "Nuke" option?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 02:14 PM PDT

I'm sharing my old SNES games with my kids and we were trying out the 2-player mode on Lemmings.

Sadly, it seems you can get into the situation where someone has used all of their "Bombers" and still have "Blockers" left that aren't able to be saved - leaving the 2-player game stuck with no way to keep playing without resetting the console.

In 1-player mode, there are three ways to get out of this situation:

  1. Hold SELECT and Press START
  2. Use the "Mushroom Cloud" button to "Nuke" all the Lemmings
  3. Wait for the timer to run out.

Here is a screenshot of the second option in 1-player mode. Notice the "Mushroom Cloud" in the bottom center of the image (Next to the yellow highlighted "Digger" box):

Super Nintendo Lemming 1 player Nuclear Option

Unfortunately, in 2-player mode the SELECT + START method doesn't seem to work - even if both players do it simultaneously. That leaves the other two options, but with no timer and no "Nuke" option on the screen, it seems that it is impossible to end the round and keep playing when you get into this situation.

Here is a screenshot showing the lack of a "mushroom cloud" button in 2-player mode:

Super Nintendo Lemmings 2-player mode screenshot

We no longer have the game manual, but surely there should be a way to continue playing the game in those situations? Being forced to reset the console is most disappointing.

What exactly will be missed by prematurely starting the expansion of The Division 2?

Posted: 14 Sep 2021 01:50 AM PDT

The Division 2 has one expansion to date: Warlords of New York. Starting it might fast forward your character progression and lock you out of specific content/gameplay.

The game itself warns about some non-replayable side missions and trophies which might turn unreachable.

Some players talked about some blueprints which might get unavailable retrospectively... True?

Is there a list of unreachable or non-replayable achievments/content/gameplay which I might miss by prematurely starting to play the expansion? (To possibly check it off one by one.)

I currently believe that nothing will be missed, if you exhaust all story main and side missions until reaching "World Tier 1". But is that true? (Or is there an earlier/later safe point in the game?)

Can someone confirm that all further "invaded" World Tier X missions can be (re-)launched at a later point?

Changes (to controls, video settings, audio, etc) not saving when I close Minecraft

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 10:06 AM PDT

I've recently noticed that whenever I close my game, any changes I made during the time I was playing do not save. I do not know about vanilla worlds since I play servers only.

I noticed a while back that whenever I tried to activate flame particles, as soon as I close the game they'd become deactivated again. This goes for texture packs too, when I'd deactivate a Hypixel texture pack it would seemingly reenable reenable when I opened the game again.

My friend recently started a 1.16.5 SMP. As a Hypixel player I use 1.8.9 optifine but I want to have more fun so I switched (or at least tried to) to unmodded, no optifine 1.16.5, but it keeps resetting the controls, the video settings, even the "Do not show again" on the third party server warning. For some reason though, my 1.8.9 controls carry over to 1.16.5, even though they didn't carry over when I was still playing 1.14 vanilla (but that was more than a year ago).

I do not have java installed anymore to save space, would that be a problem?

Help is appreciated, thanks!

How do I set up a Terraria multiplayer server?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 06:57 PM PDT

I am trying to set up a Terraria server that my friend and I can play on. We are both playing the Steam version. I believe I have it running, but when I send them an invite through Steam, it doesn't work. They say that it just keeps loading but never goes anywhere.

I have tried searching how to set up a multiplayer server on YouTube, but the instructions they give either aren't clear or they don't work.

How do I determine what my IP and port are? Is this my public IP, or is it like a 'world' IP or something? Do we need to download and set up a VPN? Or is there an easier way to get this working without downloading anything?

What is the maximum number of blocks you can reach/hit a player in PvP?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 09:28 AM PDT

I looked up a bunch of websites online, and answers vary from 3-5 (https://hypixel.net/threads/minecraft-maximum-attack-range.180414/). Some say client side is 3 blocks and server side is 6, so it can vary between 3-6 (https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/anyone-know-the-maximum-hit-distance.245846/).

From my experience, on all servers I played on (12+), my anecdotal data is averaging 2-3 blocks, with 3 probably being the maximum. But I haven't done an experiment with a player standing still, asking them their F3 coordinates, and comparing them with my F3 coordinates while making sure I'm able to hit them, and then subtracting the difference to find the distance I can hit them at. I would think that would be the most accurate way to measure it and probably include ping at current time just in case that becomes a variable.

How can I force Steam to run a post installation script again?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 06:04 PM PDT

Steam has a couple of scripts that are executed after the installation of a Game or Program. They say what else needs to be installed or what registry keys need to be created. Some examples:

  • Just Dance 2017 installs Uplay, declared in "steamapps\common\Just Dance 2017\Support\Installerscript.vdf"
  • GTA IV creates "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV", declared in "steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\installscript.vdf"

Is there a way to force Steam to run the post installation scripts again?

Teleport unknown amount of players to a specific area

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 10:04 PM PDT

I'm making a server full of mini-games, and I'm running into small problems on specific games. I got everything set up except for this issue:

In racing games, I'm having trouble teleporting the winner (or top 3, I know how to place them) to a "podium": I don't know how to let the game know how many players there are, and teleport the winners into one area and everybody else into another.

how to re-texture armor with transparency

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 11:05 PM PDT

I was making my own texture pack and I fell into a problem. I was changing the texture pack of the diamond armor, and then I wanted it to have transparency so I went to GIMP(a photo editing software) and made this enter image description here

I replaced the old texture with the new one. then I made the texture pack and added it to Minecraft. nowhere is the problem, when I wear the diamond armor the transparency doesn't work and you can still see the diamond armor under it enter image description here

Why can't I join my friend's LAN game?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 04:06 PM PDT

I have my boyfriend added as a friend on Xbox Live, and we've played Minecraft before in the past, but now we haven't been able to for the past two weeks. His games are set online, we're connected to the same WiFi, and both worlds will show up in the friends section. But for some reason neither of us can join the other's game. Why is this happening and can I fix it?

How to save Borderlands 2 characters online

Posted: 14 Sep 2021 12:03 AM PDT

My friend and I have been playing Borderlands 2 online on the Xbox for months. Today he's coming here at my place and we want to have a session together. If I make him log with his account on my Xbox, will he be able to use his character?

Are there any downsides to marriage?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 05:32 AM PDT

Occasionally in Reigns, you are given the option to marry a princess from a neighboring kingdom. In the short term, agreeing to a marriage has benefits for religion, popularity, military, and money.

Is there any reason to decline a marriage? Are there any hidden drawbacks?

What are the timing and moves to get past the Mud Men in Dragon's Lair?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 07:05 PM PDT

I've been working on completing the arcade version of Dragon's Lair in my spare time over the last few weeks and I'm stuck on the Mud Men scene. Despite reading two or three walkthroughs that I've found on the internet, I simply can't get past the second move.

The walkthroughs generally suggest hitting SWORD when the Mud Men first appear and then pressing UP after Dirk sheaths his sword. The idea is that you should start hitting periodic UPs while they chase you to the end of the screen, but only moving once Dirk has a slight pause.

I've tried this several times and I simply can't get the first UP to work. Sword works, it bounces off the men, and then Dirk sheaths his sword. Hitting UP before he puts it away, while he's putting it away, or after he's done simply fails and I get pulled into the goop. Apparently the machine I'm playing has the difficulty set to EASY.

Any help on what I'm missing here?

FFXIII-2 incomplete main menu and missing FFXIII bonuses?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 12:07 PM PDT

So I just recently got the game on Steam. Everything runs fine and I'm progressing okay, but I noticed that I'm missing an 'extras' section in my main menu. All it says is:

  1. New Game
  2. Continue
  3. Beginner's Primer
  4. Settings

Also, I have previously played and beaten FFXIII. Apparently I'm supposed to get bonuses, like the item 'Eternity's Crystal' or the theme in Extras 'Lightning's Theme', but I don't have them?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Change Minecraft Server Name?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 02:58 PM PDT

I'm setting up a minecraft server for just myself and friends. I'm using the official server (on windows) from minecraft.net I got it all up and working but I'm curious how to change the Server Name. It looks like before 1.8.1 you could just add server-name=my server to the server.properties file, but now that doesn't seem to work. Googling didn't seem to return any helpful results, is it possible to change the server name and not just the MoTD?

How can I earn a bunch of arrowheads quickly in Psychonauts?

Posted: 13 Sep 2021 11:49 PM PDT

I've finished Lungfishopolis, blown my stash of arrowheads on the magnet-thing and a couple of psy cores, and just started the Milkman Conspiracy.

And now I'm suddenly shown a warning that says "You should have the Cobweb thing, or you won't get far in the Milkman Conspiracy." It costs 800 arrowheads. I just spent all of my arrowheads. I am sad. (And I've tried doing the Milkman Conspiracy anyway. I can do some stuff, but I need some particular items to get further in the game. Those items are, as far as I can tell, behind the cobwebs that block off some of the houses.)

I've already bought the dowsing rod and dug up about a half-dozen deep arrowheads, so that source of easy money is already partly depleted. Is there any other way to make 800 arrowheads in a relative hurry? I'm not particularly fond of grinding; I've only earned a cumulative total of around 500 arrowheads so far.
