title: How can I fix characters not sitting on chairs properly?

text: When sitting on chairs, is annoying see your char floating on air near it. But with the Corvega mod it is difficult to play. I am forced to open console and type TCL to be able to push the light buttons of the car or access the gloves container. What can be causing that bug? PS.: This has been happening long time ago before using that mod. Just that I never really care about it, til now... How it happens: after I click to sit on chair, my char looks like he is sat, but the chair is not below him... he always "sit" in the air near the chair, sometimes to the left, other times in front of it, but never above the chair. "To sit" is actually an animation, but the animation happens in the wrong place, so the camera (on the head of the char) is positioned wrongly too. ![floating instead of sitting on chair](http://i.stack.imgur.com/n5OeD.png)


title: How can I see my item-specific progress on the Daedric Walker achievement?

text: The Stats screen shows how many Daedric quests I have completed, but I can't remember whether I successfully got the Daedric items from the quests (some are miss-able), and my collection disappeared from my storage in a night of drunken house rearranging. Is there some way to see which I have collected, console command or otherwise?


title: What are the differences between Firetop Mountain and Warlocks?

text: As part of this previous question I learned that Warlocks is another version of Firetop Mountain, but it's not perfectly the same. The most evident difference is that Firetop Mountain is a play-by-email game, while Warlocks is played on line, through an interface screen. There are also some small differences in the games rules and mechanics. I had a deeper look at the detail and I found that Warlock have some alternative rule being playtested (like having the gesture DSF causing maladroitness instead of confusion or having paralyzed hands taking different positions), but that's just an option. Another difference that I spotted is the fact that, in Warlocks, Paralysis is "as strong as" the other enchantments and, for example, can be used to "counter" an Amnesia, while in Firetop Mountain Paralysis is "weaker" that the other enchantments and, for example, would allow Amnesia to take place instead. I spotted the fact that the four-gesture version of Lightning Bolt is renamed "Clap of Lightning", but that has no impact whatsoever on game mechanics. From a comment made by Pierre to this question (thank you, Pierre) I also gauged that summoned monsters can be ordered to suicide by their controllers, making this way Charm Monster spell much less interesting and useful for the game (when an opponent is about to charme your monster you order it to commit suicide so you won't see it fighting against you...). Is there any other difference between the two games? EDIT: I found other differences: -in Firetop Mountain you can't have more than 15 life points (if, for example, you cast a cure light wounds at yourself and you have 15 life points, you don't increase your points bewond 15, while in warlocks you can have more than 15 life points by using a cure wounds or similar. -in Warlocks, even if you are subject of a Fear spell you still can stab (what's the sense of this?), while in Firetop Mountain you can't (and it makes a lot of sense in my opinion). -In Firetop Mountain you can play 2 vs 2, with two (or three, etc.) mages controlled by you vs two (or three, etc.) mages controlled by your opponent (it's a nice variation of the game!), but in Warlocks this option is not allowed.


title: Do tougher targets count as multiple kills in challenges?

text: In Prototype, challenges that required you to accumulate X kills within a certain timeframe rewarded multiple kills for tougher targets (for instance, killing a tank would increase your kill count by 10). One of the very first Radnet challenges in Prototype 2 would have you kill 30 targets with a grenade launcher within 30 seconds. Seeing how I have an obsessive compulsive disorder with challenges, I am really aiming to get this done, but have yet to find a sufficiently large mass of targets with which to accomplish this feat. However, if vehicles do count as more kills, I might be able to get this done. So do the mechanics from Prototype carry over, or do I need to simply wait until I find a mass of targets on which to unleash explosive fury?


title: Move a strong early game into the endgame

text: Recently I've played a few games as jungle yi, and have had a fantastic time ganking and really building myself up with a very strong early game. By the 15-20 minute mark, I am much strong than anyone else in the game with a lot more gold and experience and can pretty much take anyone one-on-one. The problem that I am having is taking this advantage and turning it into a strong/winning late game. There are a few different problems I have, including weak teammates (not passing the blame, it just happens) or not being able to press the advantage while their stronger team build farms up and eventually wears us down. As well as this, sometimes my very strong one-on-one game doesn't translate well into team fights. I'm curious about what I can do to keep my early game advantage going and pushing it to carry our team to the win rather than becoming less relevant as everyone else catches up to me, often resulting in a loss.

title: Save States for older game consoles?

text: Is it at all possible to save a state in a game for older consoles? I'm talking about old school game consoles like NES, SNES and Sega MegaDrive. I know it's not built in, so maybe somebody knows of some kind of add-box, or something to put between the cartridge and the console to record the game progress or something like that..? It would really help me finish certain older games.


title: Is it possible to be permanently killed by the Black Death?

text: It is a well known fact that one of the most dangerous monsters in the original Diablo is actually one that you encounter relatively early - a variant of the zombie monster known as Black Death. These can be encountered on levels 3-5 and seem harmless enough, as they don't do a lot of damage and are just as slow as all the other types of zombies, but each time they hit you they take away 1 HP out of your maximum, **permanently** (I didn't realize this until a friend tipped me off, at which point I avoided these like, well, the black death). Thinking about this now, I am wondering just how low you can get your HP by getting hit by these monsters. Specifically, I wonder what were to happen if you manage to reduce your maximum HP to 1 and then get hit by one of these (though I imagine this is tricky to pull off, seeing how at a certain point each hit by these would kill you off completely)?


title: What are the playstyles of the different roles?

title: What's the purpose of the Golem at the Cliffside Airdock in Bryyo?

text: In _Metroid Prime 3: Corruption_ , if you land on Bryyo at the Cliffside Airdock, there's a large room with grapple hooks along the top, and a disabled Mogenar War Golem. I think the room is called the "Grand Court"? I got the X-Ray visor and managed to restore power to the Golem which stood up to reveal a pool of Phazon. But that was all! Am I missing something? I've been longing to activate this Golem since I first found it early in the game, expecting some amazing prize. Where's my energy tank‽


In Modern Warfare 2, is it a realistic strategy to play free for all mode with a LMG? Is this a wise strategy? Should I go for a more "all round" fitout/perks when playing free for all? I seem to get a bunch of kills but get nailed on the smaller maps and anywhere with boxed killzones/corners.

title: Escape CoD:BO's main menu in the PC version

text: I've been trying to escape the main menu in Call of Duty: Black Ops, but I can't find out how. All the guides I find out there just say: "Alternately press the right and left trigger". None of them seem to have tried it for the PC version. A few of them suggest: "Left and right mouse buttons will probably work on the PC". Well, I've been trying it like hell, my mouse almost bust open, and I still haven't managed to do it. I've already finished the campaign. Am I missing something?


title: What is this structure? Can I infiltrate it?

text: I found this crazy structure while exploring. It's in a Grasslands biome. It seems to be a pig house with a pig wandering around inside. Surrounding the house are structures that are called "Obelisk" and "Basalt" when moused over. I've never seen a pig house displayed this way. Is there something special about the house or the pig? Is there a way I can destroy the obelisks and basalt to gain entrance? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bFedH.jpg)

title: Does the sanity boost from friendly pigs stack with multiple pigs?

text: I read on the Don't Starve Wiki that you receive a sanity boost from a pig in close proximity up to +25 sanity/minute. But, it doesn't say if having multiple friendly pigs multiplies the effect. So far, I've discovered that by befriending 3 or more pigs, it keeps several of them close to my side while chopping the same tree. This minimizes the distance between me and any of the pigs. But, am I multiplying the sanity boost beyond +25/min by keeping more than one pig around me or just getting it closer to +25/min?

title: Dryad appeared, but hasn't settled in

text: I'm finally giving Terraria a go, and am quite enjoying it. I recently killed the Eye of Cthulu, and got the notification that the Dryad has entered the world. Now, I had housing already available for her (I went with a tall apartment style building for NPCs), and the lower levels are already populated. However, its been probably at least a few days of playing and she still hasn't settled in a room. Thinking the room was too high, I built another one on the ground level to the necessary specifications, as I understand them, however she still has not appeared. Is there any special necessity for the Dryad to settle in?

text: Kisho ninjas are army units that can be deployed in Shogun 2. At first glance the unit seems ideal for surprise attacks (they can hide in plain view and deal damage quickly).

What are some tactics which could be employed to field kisho ninjas cost effectively?

title: Cannot enter safe mode on otherwise working fat PS3 with 4.53

text: My PS3 is in working condition: both downloaded and on-disc games work. However, ever since Borderlands 2 crashed on me once, it sometimes randomly crashes. I can reboot it no problem, it goes through a filesystem check in a couple minutes and then either everything works again (and I can play for hours with games without problems) or it crashes again and I have to repeat this -- but in general, after at most two cycles, it starts working. Now, I've tried replacing the hard disk and restoring from a backup, but that doesn't seem to make the problem go away. However, I've found very promising mentions of a so-called "safe mode" of the PS3 which allows you to reset all kinds of internal databases. My problem is that if I try to follow the instructions, nothing really happens. Keeping my finger on the 'on' button doesn't do anything, it just boots up the console in normal mode. I don't hear any extra beeps apart from the initial one as it turns on. So how do I get into recovery mode on a fat PS3 running 4.53 if it otherwise boots into normal mode just OK?

title: Can I copy the content of my message box (using backup utility)?

text: I'd like to install a new hard drive into my Playstation 3. For that purpose, I want to back up as much as I can to get it onto the new hard drive again. While I've already copied all my saves, I'd like to know if I can also save the content of my message box (recieved and sent messages). I plan on using the backup utility to copy a backup onto the new hard drive, but I'm also saving some stuff manually. I know there is a question here called What data does the PS3's backup utility preserve?, but unfortunately that question focuses on game saves with no mention of messages, and the accepted answer that says "everything gets saved" appears to be inaccurate. I'd like to know whether the PS3's backup utility saves my received and sent messages, or if there is another way to save them to an external device to restore them on the new hard drive.

title: Why can I get more lums than the level maximum in Rayman Origins?

text: In Rayman Origins you primarily collect Lums. At the end of each level there is a giant tube which gathers all the lums you've collected throughout the level. As the tube fills you will hit checkpoints represented by fixed values that will earn you pink smiley faces. When you fill the entire tube you are awarded a medal. In Rayman 2, I remember it taking me many, many hours to collect every single last lum - and there was an exact amount of lums that needed to be collected in each level. A number of times now, I've collected up to a dozen more lums than what is required to fill the entire tube. This seems weird - is it supposed to happen? In my mind the tube being full represents you collecting **every** lum in the level. Do these overflow lums count towards anything? Why are they there?

I think I was not able to change it with the crosshair commands I found, such as **sixense_crosshair_horiz_multiplier "1"** and **sixense_crosshair_vert_multiplier "1"** The most important aspect of it I was not able to reproduce with custom crosshair settings is that the inner part of it appears dark on very bright backgrounds while the outer whiskers appear bright on dark backgrounds so it is visible in both cases.

Are any crew skills profitable on their own without the GTN in SW:TOR? I am speaking of both crafting and missions. Are any of the crew skills (in any combination) generally profitable (making more credits than the missions cost) at the highest tier, without selling rewarded/crafted goods on the GTN to other players? How much of a margin can be made this way if your skills are at 400? (Note: I realize that _more_ credits can be made by crafting in-demand items and selling them with a huge markup, but this question is about avoiding the GTN and selling the results to ordinary vendors.)

title: Is level 4 too early to take on cazadores

text: The question pretty much says it all. I decided to walkabout at level 4, since I don't want to fast-track the main quests and miss a bunch of good stuff. I'm playing without a game guide, and the Vault and Gamefaqs aren't quite up to speed yet. So ... I've discovered a tribal village west-ish of Goodsprings, but it has a bunch of cazadores in it. When taking on cazadores, is level 4 too early? I have the following weapons (in decent shape):   * .357 Magnum Revolver with Long Barrel   * 10mm pistol (keeping it around for repair)   * 9mm pistol   * 9mm Submachine Gun   * Lots of dynamite (but low explosives skill and bad throwing aim without VATS)   * Laser Pistol   * Shovel   * Single Shotgun   * Varmint Rifle   * Weathered 10mm Pistol (the nice one you get from the Classic Pack) I'm wearing the Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit. Am I too weak to take on a nest of about 8 cazadores -- maybe half of them "young" cazadores and the other half full-grown? If not, what's my best tactic for surviving this and having an opportunity to safely check out this camp?

I would like to find out if I made a different save file with the eye type that I would like, and then **_delete_** my mayor save file, would my new villager save file become mayor?

title: When should one use the Revolution age in AOE 3?

text: In Age of Empires 3, one can revolt from their home city (for a non asian civilization) in the industrial age. This converts all villagers into fighters. While factories and banks keep producing money, the economy is usually at a standstill. You get infinite shipments (you can even take infinite shipments of forts) and a small army the second you reach the revolt stage. You still can produce army, but with the limited economy this is not too effective. I've never been able to make this useful; while it may temporarily stop you from losing it rarely ever gains you the upper hand. When should one advance to this age?

title: How to make custom button mapping persistent in Half-Life 2

text: I'm playing Half-Life 2 with an Xbox 360 wired controller in Ubuntu Steam, but the default key mapping is really weird: not only is the default mapping strange to me (e.g. `L_SHOULDER` for jumping), many actions are just unmapped. Anyway, every time I run the game I have to remap everything, since the changes are not persistent. I've seen a thread that offers a solution involving the creation of a config file. This is helpful, but still requires loading the cfg file every time and looks more like a workaround than a solution. I can't believe there isn't a better way to save a custom mapping! By the way, this is really exclusive to HL2. I've tried the same in other Valve titles (namely, Portal and Team Fortress 2) and in games from other companies and never had a problem.


title: Is the Blue Buff (even with the nerf) stronger than the Red Buff? If so, Why?

title: Can you change a hero's save slot?

text: I'm moving saved games from one system to another. I've created heroes on both systems and as a result, have two saves named "Hero 1" (one on the hard drive, the other currently on a memory stick). I was able to move the non-conflicting saves over just fine. Can I change the save slot somehow? If I could "rename" the save currently on the memory stick from "Hero 1" to "Hero 3", I could move it over and have all my saves in one place. As it stands, it looks like I have to either keep them split across storage devices or overwrite one of my heroes.

title: Is possible to trade game items or gold outside of WOW on third party websites?

text: As a non-WOW player I have wondered: is possible to trade game items or gold outside of the game on third party websites? Does Blizzard have an API or something, or is this kind of activity completely non-sanctioned and takes place in a grey market? I ask because a friend had thrown out an idea of making an exchange where I could trade World of Warcraft gold for say Second Life currency or Facebook credits, etc. I was wondering if a thing like that was even possible. Sounds like the answer is no. Thanks!


title: How do I make my covenant work?

text: I like the idea of the Blue Sentinels. I absolutely hate the invasion system of the Soul's serious, but I love the multiplayer co-op aspect of it. And, in some strange way, I feel that I should punish those that think they can get away from trouncing people for the laughs. So, I joined the convenant and hoped to start dispensing justice. Only...wait one moment. Justice can't be dispensed. Not only do I need a cracked blue eye orb AND hope to be in a server and location that there's a sinner...but I have to be human to do it? That just seems all kinds of wrong. And with PvP focused characters setting out to just destroy other people in game, how am I supposed to make this viable and get up to the 100 or so kills that they're expecting of me? Is this even viable at this point, or is the Blue Sentinels a waste of my time?

title: What maps correspond to what test chambers in Portal 2?

title: Is there any air defense against a SOFLAM + Javelin combo?

text: I am lover of air combat in BF3, but I seem to get dominated by players/squads/teams with a soflam & Javelin Combo. In my experience, I have not been able to ever shake a javelin in the helo. Flares, ECM, nothing. (maybe the occasional save getting behind a building or hill - seldomly works due to their attack from above). It is a great defense, do not get me wrong, but I also have the luxury of experiencing getting a lock tone, but no tone for when a missile is released ( or sometimes its an instant lock-missle away). Is this because it isn't heat- signature based to combat air vehicles? This is what I picked up online: "The FGM-148 Javelin is an unlockable anti-vehicle weapon for the Engineer kit. It is capable of locking on to any ground vehicle within line-of-sight and within range. It can also receive targets via laser designation, allowing it to attack air vehicles. The Javelin's targeting ability can be hindered by Thermal Camouflage or Stealth, and defeated by IR Smoke or IR Flares. By default, the Javelin uses 'Direct Attack' mode, which attacks vehicles directly, generally hitting their front, side or rear armor. When attacking a laser-designated target, the Javelin automatically switches to 'Top Attack' mode, doing up to twice the damage by launching the missile high into the air and then hitting the vehicle from the top. Up to mid-range, the Javelin can be forced to attack from a higher angle without laser designation by quickly aiming high just before launching the weapon (and losing weapon lock). The initial booster lobs the missile high into the air, helping it strike from a higher angle even though it is still in "Direct Attack" mode. Similar to the MAV, the Javelin can detect and attack certain deployable devices using direct attack mode : • MAV • Radio Beacon • M224 Mortar" Any Input / defensive tactics I should employ besides picking up stealth perk / ecm / flares?

title: How do I solve chamber 6, chapter 8 properly?

text: Yesterday I kludged my way around chamber 6 in The Itch. What I did:   1. Obtain a cube, blocking it from emancipation with the wall   2. Extend bridge ahead of turrets   3. Once 'safely' through the emancipation grid keep a portal on the back side of the chamber   4. Portal the cube on the other side of the room   5. Now I can't setup the antiturret bridge again, so via trial and death I try and launch the cube as far as I can without being mowed down.   6. Eventually I manage to push the cube on the button, not on the side with legs, and back out in the nick of time   7. I move along This must be suboptimal, and the... supervisor points out that surely there must be a better way. It then agrees there isn't, but in context that means very little. Is there a better way, or is GLaDOS that sadistic?

title: How to achieve 100% Database Sync?

text: I have gotten most everything in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. 100% progress. Bought all of the ship upgrades, ship appearances, guns, swords, art, outfits, and house upgrades. I completed all of the Abstergo challenges. Etc etc. There are 4 things I am waiting on (waiting for community challenge prizes).   1. Persian scimitars   2. Captain's wheellock pistols   3. Black and red sails   4. El Impoluto's wheel However, I am only at 98% database sync. The above may contribute, but I feel like while I'm waiting I can work on the rest. But I don't know what's missing. Here is the count of what I have in my database. I can go into more detail if someone can narrow down what section is lacking based on the numbers.   1. Shanties - 34   2. Documents (Manuscripts) - 20   3. Documents (Letters) - 20   4. People - 37   5. Locations - 18   6. Landmarks (Havana) - 10   7. Landmarks (Kingston) - 7   8.

And maybe "white whale" (but I think this is covered by "sperm whale").

How are they able to do this? If I set all 3 type of units to the same hotkey, I get lost while trying to tab through them (if I don't tab through them, zealots try to hit flying targets if I command the whole group to attack a unit), and If I set a different hotkeys for them I cannot effectively use the Guardian Shield as Stalkers and Sentries get separated as I advance. What are some tips to handle attacking and supporting units, while casting abilities at the same time in a push/defense?

title: "Melee" Damage Bonus on Engi Details

text: In the advanced edition, it makes clear how much benefit your characters gain from levels of skill with hand-to-hand combat. Specifically, green means +10% damage and yellow means +20% damage. However, Engi deal 50% damage to begin with. Does a green level of skill mean they deal 60% damage (additive) or 55% damage (multiplicative). This question also addresses Mantis who also have their base damage adjusted. I'd imagine they'd work identically but whether the bonus is additive (210% green/220% yellow) or multiplicative (220% green/240% yellow) is not known to me. This question is agnostic between advanced and standard editions unless they unexpectedly vary. Edit: This matters more than I thought. Mantis actually deal +50% damage, not +100% damage as listed in the game. I don't know how I missed this for so long. The reason this matters is that a Rock with yellow combat will deal 120% damage with 150 HP (combat rating: 180) while a Mantis with yellow combat will either deal 170% damage with 100 HP (combat rating: 170) or 180% damage with 100 HP (combat rating: 180). Thus, a rock becomes the ultimate fighter even ignoring the fire immunity the additive case, whereas they are tied in the multiplicative case. I'm defining combat rating as HP * combat damage%. A higher combat rating means you'll always win in a one on one fight with no other advantages on either side.

title: Damaging Piloting on Automated ships

text: On a piloted ship, damaging (orange color, not red) the piloting section of a ship cancels the ship's ability to dodge without a pilot (or reduces it, if it was level 3 piloting) but makes less of a difference if it is manned. The difference that remains is the pilot is forced to repair instead of granting their personal +5, +7 or +10 dodge bonus. However, automated ships have no crew to begin with, and yet are clearly able to dodge even when they only have level 1 piloting. My question is, can anyone verify whether **damaging** (or making orange) a level 2 piloting system on an automated ship has any impact on the ship's ability to dodge? I would like to think that it does, but without examining source code, reading developer discussion, or producing a large body of statistical evidence, I simply don't know for sure. This answer should be the same for advanced edition or the base game, even though the pilot-less piloting values are different (because we are dealing with the special case of automated ships.)


title: Can damage over time effects crit?

text: I've been using a Witch Doctor build that uses Haunt and Locust Swarm, and I've noticed that my damage varies really widely sometimes. Can these spells "crit"?

text: If I cast Haunt on an enemy and it's ticking along, and then later cast Piranhas on the same enemy (which gives a 15% damage bonus against affected enemies), will Haunt do more damage for the duration of the Piranhas, or does Haunt have to be re-cast to gain the effects of the new damage buff?

Sheep seem to spawn and despawn randomly, and they don't breed on XBox, so I don't know if they are farmable. Even if they're not, is there a way to encourage them to spawn or congregate?

For example, a player who:   * Resets his character and replays the game to see his name written in a different color.   * Is willing to spend more money for a collector's edition, because it has a custom skin or an aura on his character.   * Spends hours farming to get a cosmetic object or useless pet. I am looking for a word to describe these players that play more for the collection that for the game.

title: Dealing with 2+1 tanks team composition

text: **TL;DR;** With all the armor and health and health-regeneration, what's the strategy that I should use to win team fights in the end game? The tanks can go without trouble and kill my ap, adc and any other threats to their damage-dealers. And they can protect their own while we can't do the same, since they are 2~3 doing the "body-guard" job. PS: Early game is easy, the problem is in the mid/end game. * * * I play solo queue in silver. Some games I lose because an immature kid gets upset by whatever and starts trolling. Some games I lose because my teammates don't have a clue how to play in the teamfight phase. Some games I lose because me or my teammates loose the laning phase (which is ok, you can't win every game). Some games I lose because we are being outplayed and outsmarted, which actually makes the game enjoyable (unless we are crushed beyond hope) and ends up with me respecting the opposite team. But what really leaves me thinking and frustrated is when I have a good/decent team, we get out of the laning phase ahead, and lose late game because we (and by inclusion — me) don't know how to deal with their team comp. Since season 4 start, it seems to me that team comps with double tanks + tank support (which is an effective 3'rd tank late game in this season) are extremely strong and very, very effective late game. To me it looks that they are actually unbeatable. So I would like to know how to deal with it. As stated I consider the case where I have decent teammates, who don't do stupid things like roaming alone in the fog of war, engaging on tanks or chasing halfway across the map after a support kill. And we position (I think correctly) when grouped, with a front line, a middle line and a back line. And we have some level of communication and coordination (as much as it is possible in solo queue). They usually hard engage with the front line on one of our carry, going behind our front line. And since their front line is so strong, this means dead carry, or at least out of fight carry. After that it is usually clean up. **Now before you start theorizing and preaching about which team comps counters which team comps** , remember this is solo queue silver, and everybody just plays what they know/want and at the very best they counter their lane. And the best team comp planification I can hope for is when we are at the last two picks and someone (usually me) says 'we need a tank'. So what I need to know is how can I make the best of it while stuck in a random team comp. * * * I would like general tips on how to handle this kind of situation, but I understand that it depends on particular situations, so here it is the most recent game I had: Their comp:   * Rene, Jarvan, Leona — tanks, initiators   * Cait, Malzahar — carries Our comp:   * Garen — tank   * Kha — assassin   * Lucian, Lux — carries   * Morgana — support We were all decent and not doing stupid things, and everybody was doing what they were supposed to do on a general way (but apparently not for this particular tem comp). We got ahead out of the laning phase. Mid game we still won fights, some fights they won. We were still ahead of them, we even got 3 aces, but we were too weak afterwards to take any important objective (as the respawn timers weren't that long yet). Going into late game, we still won a few fights, but it was clear by now that we were going to lose. We didn't have a solution for their 3 tanks-initiators. Late game they won fights decisively and took big objectives afterwards (respawn timers were now long enough). This was one game, but I had a lot of similar games where we started ahead but lost EVERY TIME late game because we couldn't deal with their tanks. * * * Thanks to the ones that read this quite long post.

title: Abnormally high CPU use and lag spikes in voltz

text: When I play voltz, I get huge CPU usage - the process javaw.exe uses up to and including 90 CPU in the lag spikes. I only recently started playing voltz, after having played tekkit an awful lot. Tekkit used to lag too, but it doesn't after turning off MATMoS. I have turned down all the video settings: render distance is short (I can't bear playing on tiny), graphics are fast, performance is max FPS, OpenGL is off, I even resorted to turning off clouds in a desperate attempt to stop the lag. The lag spikes happen approximately once per minute, and last around two seconds where my framerate drops to nothing and sound breaks up. Is there a specific mod that could be causing the lag? If not, how can I make the game playable? (By the way, I always change the process priority to high and the spikes still happen). I am on a Windows Vista (I know, I know) 32 bit laptop.

title: Pouring Lava and Water from a bucket

I can pick water and lava up, but when I go to pour them, it simply disappears and nothing happens. I can however click again and get the lava/ water back up in the bucket, even though it shows nothing there. The problem just randomly started happening, so I'm not sure what's up. Everyone else can pour water/ lava just fine except for me. I didn't make any modifications of any sort from the previous hour it was working to the time the problem started. I do have build rights in the server as well. Any thoughts to this?

title: I'm sick of being attacked by balverines. What can I do?

text: I HATE BALVERINES. I liked fighting bands of mercenaries much better. Balverines are fast and strong and they do that thing where they leap straight up and land behind me so I'm swinging at thin air like some kind of fool. I noticed that they didn't really show up in the game until after I'd made friends with the mercenaries by visiting their new tourist-trap camp. I still encounter bands of mercenaries from time to time, however, so the game hasn't replaced mercenaries with balverines entirely. So, there are two parts to this question:   * What is the most effective way to fight a band of balverines? Is there a particular combination of spells that scares them off? Or is it firearms or a sword that will make short work of them?    * Is there rhyme or reason to when I'm confronted by balverines and when I'm confronted by mercenaries? If, for example, balverines only show up at night, I will make a point of only traveling through those certain points where you get attacked by stuff during the day. I don't think it's that simple, however.

title: Share Multiplayer World

text: A buddy and I have been playing Terraria together in a joint world. I hosted and so I have the world and can play in single player when he's not around. He'd like to do the same, is this possible? I doubt we could both play it and then have it sync up the changes, but is there a way to send him the world file and then when we go to play together copy it back or something along those lines? * * * ## **My solution:** I have used a combination of the answers below to make this game even more awesome. First I setup a **Dedicated server** as mentioned by OrigamiRobot. This was super simple and meets my requirements perfectly. I don't mind leaving my computer on all the time with this running. To do this I also had to do a couple of other things unique to my situation:   * Setup a static route in my router for port 7777 to the machine where I am running the dedicated server   * Registered with DynDNS.org to get a domain name to be used with my dynamic IP Address   * I setup the DynDNS account in my router and I was good to go (This is needed so that my friend can ping the domain name and get my current ip address should it change in the future). Doing that took care of my need to share the world file without us having to sync it between run times. Looking at the other answers, Kissaki provided me with the folders I needed, and I used flying sheep's answer about **symlinks** along with Tom Wijsman's suggestion of using **DropBox** to share my player folder. I use the dedicated server to hold onto the world, but putting my player folder in dropbox allows me to play as the same character regardless of which of my machines I am using.

title: The Witcher 2 - The Butcher of Cidaris Quest Bug?

text: This is my first playthrough and I think I started this quest without realising it. When I first got to Chapter 2 there was too much going on at once and so it got slightly confusing, so a lot of Quests were added and some where overlooked to begin with, this Quest been one of them. Anyway, after progressing through the story I have to enter the fog to kill some of the spirits (after going to the hideout place), but if I enter the fog I fail The Butcher of Cidaris Quest (Also failed the Little Sisters quest, but I managed to complete this) Before continuing with the story I want to complete as much as I can, the objective for this Quest now is to go and speak to the veteran soldier in the camp canteen. The problem is the soldier is not there, there is only the relic peddler and someone asking for orens for some book or something. So is this a bug or am I missing something? I believe this quest lets you fight in the arena which I want to do. I think his name was Manfred if I am not mistaken, but I cannot find him anywhere and I have looked all through the camp. Thanks.


title: Is the Steam version of Indigo Prophecy censored?

I guess I did my first test with a dmg+missile / debuff+enchant which resulted in a casting time of 0.7 (after all skills applied). ~~Due to this, _"spam casting"_ my DD gets tedious.

title: How do team tactics differ from 1v1 tactics in Starcraft II?

text: So far I have only played 2v2 games in Starcraft II because I always had a friend to play with or because I wasn't confident enough to try 1v1 games. I'm starting to feel a little more confident and want to test my might in the 1v1 ladder. So generally, what tactics work in 1v1 that don't work in 2v2? Similarly, what tactics work in 2v2 that don't work in 1v1?


title: Starcraft 2 2v2 Strategies

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do team tactics differ from 1v1 tactics in Starcraft II? Are there any good strategies for a pair (or more) of players to use? Obviously rushing is better if you both do it, but what other things can you try? Unit synergies? One player building army and other just worrying about economy?


title: What is the maximum level?

text: What is the maximum level in the game and how many skill points will I have at maximum level?


title: Is the Golden God Achievement still possible with wrath of the Lamb?

text: Can I still get the Golden God! achievement in Wrath of the Lamb or will I only get it when I get the Platinum God! too? The description of both achievements is: "100% of the game" but Golden God! was available before Wrath of the Lamb.


title: How do I prevent capital ships from attacking missile platforms?

text: In Sins of a Solar Empire (any version), when I enter an enemy gravity well, my darn capital ships always attack missile platforms right off the bat. This causes them massive damage and really tilts the odds of the battle against me. Is there a way to tell these idiotic pilots to keep their distance from the platforms, by default? I know I can steer them away manually, but I don't want to keep tabs on every individual battle every time it happens!


title: Is better to use S.H.I.V or rookies in missions?

text: I have reached a point where I have a S.H.I.V but I am not sure if I should use them or not. **Pros**   * SHIV has better stats than a rookie   * SHIV can suppress   * SHIV does not panic.   * SHIV are immune to psi attacks?   * If they die, no humans die (this is more an ethic issue than a game issue, I wonder if other squad mates got moral penalties if a SHIV is destroyed as they get if soldier dies) **Cons**   * I lose the experience benefits   * SHIVs are more expensive than soldiers    * SHIVs needs more time to build than rookies to be recruited.   * SHIVs have less hit points than a rookie with proper armor. Are there any more pros and cons that I am not aware of? **What is better to use as scout, SHIV or rookies?**


title: Clagging in Diablo 2

text: When dueling in diablo 2, I see a lot of paladins talking about "clagging." How is "clagging" done in diablo 2? And why does it work?


title: Mothership Vortex Range?

text: What is the range of the Mothership's Vortex ability? Can it be used across the map in the same way that mass-recall can? Or must I fly a mothership to the location of the battle to use it effectively?


title: In UT2K4, can you outsource content downloads to an external server?

text: I have a group of buddies who run a Unreal Tournament 2004 server, but it's run on an ADSL connection with terrible upload speeds. It's enough to support about 16 in game players, but maps only download at about 10 Kbps. Is there any way to configure the server to serve the content from a secondary server, such as a free web host? I know that the source engine has always supported this, and it would be nice if Unreal did too. My googling yielded no results though.


title: What's the fastest way to kill an ogre by myself?

text: I've set up my diabolical traps. They've killed 99% of the enemies coming through the gate, but I've been distracted on the other side of the map and don't notice the ogre that smashed through my hallway of death until he's almost to the rift. What's the fastest (non-trap) way to kill the thing? I like the crossbow with headshots giving back mana, and stun locking him with alternate fire, but when there are two I quickly lose.


title: Do multiplayer games on the Xbox 360 require a subscription?

text: I have been looking into the details of the Xbox 360 (I only own old school consoles and the Nintendo Wii) and one of the most touted features of the console is the ability to play online with friends. I was looking at the details of Xbox Live on xbox.com and it says only the **Gold membership** allows you to "Play games online with friends." This is appalling and goes against everything that makes PC gaming great. I don't want to start a flame war here on consoles vs. PC, but this is just crazy talk. Is this really true? Is this enforced by all games? How much does it cost?


title: Any way to exit Geirmund's Hall without killing the boss?

text: I'm incapable of killing the boss in this dungeon and I did a quick save inside the dungeon and I have no other save files, am I screwed?


title: How can I save my DirectX choice in Saints Row: the Third so it stops asking me about it?

text: Whenever I start up Saints Row the Third from Steam, it asks me whether I want to wimp out and use DirectX 9 or be all hardcore and stuff with DirectX 10/11. Of course, I always pick the latter, but getting asked every single time I run the game is kinda irritating. It's not like my answer is going to change. Is there any way to always pick one of those options?
