Steam overlay text is missing on Linux

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:49 AM PST

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 as my primary OS, and also installed steam on it, 2 games are installed: Stardew Valley and Terraria.

I've got one issue with the Steam overlay. Steam overlay rendered perfectly fine on Stardew Valley, but somehow rendered with no text and image on Terraria.

I've tried to check the game integrity file, but there's no issue at all. Not sure if it's a bug from Terraria or the Steam overlay itself.

I really appreciate if someone can help me with this issue, because I've never found any solution since Terraria 2.4.3 released date.

Here is the screenshot: enter image description here

In 2b2t I died in lava and cant respawn

Typing the section sign (§) in modern versions

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 08:30 AM PST

I've seen posts asking about this issue, that it's been restricted to type ALT characters (such as §, or ALT 21) into Minecraft from a certain version, but I keep seeing answers like "you can only fix this by changing client changes" or "only possible in NBTExplorer". How exactly could I do this?

I'm also trying this in a multiplayer server, to color item names in anvils, I think it was possible at some point without commands, but I don't remember. So if this isn't possible without permissions or other players won't see the color of the item name and it's only local in the first place then I'm sorry for wasting your time.

How do I get to the other Inazuma islands right after getting the travel permit?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 08:20 AM PST

I completed the quest that gives me the Travel permit that allows me to freely move in Inazuma, but how do I get to the other islands?

I don't see any high points where I can successfully glide from one island to the other, and swimming is completely out of the question.

Can Egg Moves still be taught through the Nursery without Breeding?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 06:42 AM PST

From Bulbapedia's Egg Move page:

In Sword and Shield, if two Pokémon of the same species are placed together in the Nursery and if one of the Pokémon has an empty move slot and the other knows an Egg Move, the Pokémon with the empty slot will learn the Egg Move. This will occur even if the Pokémon are the same gender.

Does this also work in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, or do I have to EV train a newly bred Azurill with Belly Drum and Aqua Jet?

What HiSec Systems in Eve Online are furthest from any LoSec System?

Posted: 24 Nov 2021 11:07 PM PST

I've seen a discussion and analysis on this site of which Systems give the best/shortest route to most other hisec systems, and I came to wonder which hisec systems are most completely inaccessible from any surrounding LoSec (0.4 or lower) systems?

Auto Eat between double damage?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 02:30 AM PST

The bandit leader in the bandit base dungeon has as special attack:

Rapid Fire: An avoidable attack that deals 100% of the enemy's normal damage 2 times.

Now i wonder, does auto eat work between the two times damage dealed? Or is the two times damage dealed combined without option to eat between.

That is important for my hardcore char, because double damage could kill him if no food is eaten between the first and second damage.

Unstable FPS while playing Metro Exodus - Enhanced Edition

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 01:52 AM PST

Update:

In recent couple of days, I have found inconsistence GPU power used by this game. please refer to screen shot1, which has gpu power of only 54 watts and hence very low fps. In screen shot2, gpu power is 119 watts and hence much better fps. These are taken with the same system. Screen shot 3 shows in Witcher 3, the gpu power is also the normal at 125 watts and the fps is great. It looks like (to me) this still a game issue.

enter image description here

enter image description here

I just started playing Metro Exodus - Enhanced Edition. My laptop setup is:

Note: GPU is on 130 W!

Screenshot of system information

Video settings in the game is 1920x1080 on Ultra, and others are mostly set to default. I find the FPS is not stable, sometimes a lot more than 60 fps (90 or higher), but sometimes quite low at around 20 fps. I have changed the various video settings and it only changes the FPS a little bit, but I've still got this huge inconsistency in fps. I have even tried resolution of 800X600 and that doesn't improve the FPS a lot. I have even tested with the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition benchmark tool and tried different settings and it always returns around 53 - 59 average FPS. So what could be the issue? Most of the games I have played on this laptop have excellent FPS. I don't think my setup is too low-end for this game.

How do you detect a certain block placed in area and the placing player

How to keep a spawner active using command blocks?

How can I use the wither to make a wood farm?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:06 AM PST

I've been playing on this server and I've been thinking about making a wood farm however the server has a no duping rule but they do have claims plug-in and I can turn mob griefing off and on in each claim so I was thinking I could use a wither and trap him in a mob griefing off cage so he can't escape but then make him shoot at the wood that's being made and that isn't mob griefing turned off except after testing around I couldn't think of any solutions if anyone knows how to do this let me know.

Java Minecraft 1.16.5 - How do I put an experience orb into a scoreboard?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:03 AM PST

So i'm currently working on a datapack the reworks the leveling system in Minecraft. One of the things that I'm currently struggling with is putting the xp orb into a scoreboard instead of your xp bar. I have tried multiple different variations of commands but it is not working for some reason.

What I have currently have tried is: execute as @a at @s unless score @s p_lvl = @s pm_lvl if entity @e[type=experience_orb,nbt={Value:1s},distance=..1.5] run scoreboard players add @s reserve 1

Breaking down the command:

  • If A and B are not equal & experience orb is 0-1.5 blocks away
  • then add 1 to C

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work, that would be great.

Minecraft inventory when shift and drag mouse won't put items into other inventory

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 06:06 AM PST

I hold Shift and press the right mouse button and drag it to auto-put all the items, but my mouse goes over into the other inventory (chest, etc.) and it won't work. Does this maybe happen because I am using version 1.16.1?

How to create a Map Room / "world map" in Minecraft 1.6+

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 08:08 AM PST

In old versions of Minecraft I could create a "world map" by making a wall of item frames & adding a map to each frame.

Maps were linked so if I was mapping an area in-game by holding a map it would show up on the linked map of my "world map". Maps would be linked by simply using them in the same area.

I've revisited Minecraft in Bedrock 1.6 in a multi-player Realms world & am trying to create a "world map" of our surrounds which shows player positions.

Maps now have different zoom levels & the default 128x128 zoom setting is too detailed. I'd like to use 512x512 (which is the original zoom level?)

But I've been flailing around a bit with the cartography table & am getting frustrated wasting resources while trying to work out how the new mapping works.

Could someone please give me step-by-step instructions on how to create a "world map". Or complete the "Map Room" achievement with 512x512 maps.

This is as far as I've got:

  1. Build 3 x 3* block wall.
  2. Cover one side of the block wall with 9 item frames.
  3. Build cartography table.
  4. Create 9 locator maps(? - do they need to be locator maps to show the player locations on the "world map"?)

...and that's when I started to get confused.

Any help is appreciated.

*My goal is a 9x9 map of 512x512 maps, but you have start somewhere.

How to remove a block itself near another specific block

I want to know how to do this in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. For example: A player placed a chest near piston, is there any way to remove the chest itself near the piston?

Portal will not start new game when I click on "Start New Game"

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 12:38 PM PST

I just got Portal and I can't seem to start a new game. Initially, clicking on "New Game" on the main menu showed a dialog box with no content.

I've tried to find the answer online and saw to copy the files from the portal folder to the hl2 folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal has both of these folders within it). This now shows a list of "chapters" when I click on "New Game", but nothing happens when I click on "Start new game". I've tried clicking on Chapter 1 and then starting, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Portal, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Steam but to no avail.

The dialog box closes when I click "Start new game" and then nothing else happens; I'm still on the main menu. Everyone else who I've found online who has this problem solved it by copying the files to the hl2 folder or reinstalling the game, but neither of these solutions have completely solved the issue for me. I have Portal 2 installed as well, and it works perfectly fine.

Does anyone know how to fix this or a situation like mine that has been solved?

If I have fewer than 6 Pokemon in my party, does each gain more EXP?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:41 AM PST

I have a few weak Pokemon that I'm trying to level quickly. I'm wondering if it helps to keep less than 6 Pokemon in my party.

Does that divide the total EXP gained by fewer Pokemon? Or does each Pokemon gain a set amount and it's better just to have a full party?

What is the true shiny rate in Sword and Shield?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:28 AM PST

Since the Games launch Pokemon Sword and Shield got a prediction of how it's shiny encounter chance looks like. Thanks to data miner Kurt we got this table on Twitter to look at and figure out the shiny chance.

Base chance, since most of the games is 1:4096, but stuff like catch-series and numbers encountered did always influence the odds in an positive favor for the player.

Now since yesterday several news pages started to claim the best chance to encounter an shiny without the shiny charm is 7/4096 e.g. 1:585.

But from what I read you only have a chance of 33% to get a reroll which would provide the additional 6:4096. So the correct math should be: 1/4096 + 0.33 * 6/4096 which alludes to a chance of roughly 1:1365.

So my question here is: Did I misread or not understand the twitter post? Is the chance of an additional reroll supposed to be another extra reroll after the 7:4096 you get at the start of an encounter (which would still not add up since the chance would be even better)?

To clarify the chances to get a shiny with an shiny charm equipped are calculated as

3/4096 + 0.33 * 6/4096 for at least 500 defeated and a streak of 25+ Pokemon of one species defeated in a row then.

This would mean, the best chance with a shiny charm is around 1:819.

What increases your chances of finding shiny pokemon?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:26 AM PST

Does it have chain combo like in Pokemon Let's Go where the more you battle the same Pokemon in a row the higher the chance of spawning a shiny?

Does the Masuda method work?

I cannot seem to unlock Blitz Play. I have completed all the side missions except for one Rampage. Do I have to complete all the Rampages with Trevor?

How do you level a dragon beyond level 20?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 02:00 AM PST

How do I get my level 20 dragons beyond that point ? I hear it is possible to get them to level 26? Is that just for Elder dragons or all of them and how do you do it? I am level 125 and have all the dragons, but I can't get them any higher it seems.

Fallout 4 window is too small. How do I change the size of my screen?

My Fallout 4 wasn't loading so I switched it to windows mode but it's really small. Is there anyway I can make the window bigger?

How to execute a command block once taking hits?

So, I am doing a little Minecraft adventure map and the number one thing I keep getting stuck on is how to execute a command block once a zombie hits you three times. Thanks! :D

Can I download a server world and build on it locally?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 08:13 AM PST

I have an 'online' Minecraft server that I have been building on for the past couple of months. There are some big edits that I want to make on the map, but the server only has 512mb of RAM so it crashes.

My question is, is it possible to download the world from the server so that I can load it up on my computer locally and run it in single player to make large edits? I would later hope to re-upload the map onto the server after I finish making changes.

Is there a science to Disenchanting in Hearthstone?

Posted: 25 Nov 2021 01:46 PM PST

I have been too chicken to disenchant any cards in Hearthstone. I have heard rumors they (Blizzard) were upping the amount of dust you got back from each card. I don't know the validity; but, it has made me not want to even test this feature.

That said I would like an explanation of what I am looking at on the card disenchantment screen:

  • What are the Green (left side) and Red (right side numbers)?
  • Do I have to "learn" any cards before I can make them?
  • Are there certain cards that are more cost effective to disenchant?
  • Is the "disenchant all 'extra' cards" button safe?
  • Does it disenchant all card stacks over two cards?
