How could disabling sound increase framerate?

I was reading about frame rate on the Minecraft wiki and saw this: > ## Increasing FPS > > Disable sound effects. This is particularly effective when near a large > amount of sound-producing blocks (lava, flowing water) or mobs. I tested this myself near both lava and flowing water, and near a mob farm. I couldn't notice any difference in the framerate with sounds turned off compared to sounds turned on. In theory, how could turning off sounds effect framerate?


Can you get back into Safeword?

During the mission Return to Steelport, you need to go to a club named Safeword to rescue Zimos. Are you only able access Safeword during this mission, or is it also possible to return and run around in there after this mission?


Mitigation Cap on Portals

Is there still the +95 cap on portal mitigation? I have seen contradicting information in a few places and am not sure if it is still capped or not. Anyone even have any anecdotal evidence from their own observations?


Warframe - Experience Mechanic

The page Experience Mechanics on the Warframe Wikia says > [...]If the enemy was killed by an ability, your Warframe will gain all the > experience. I've noticed though it not seems valid anymore. I was in a Defence Mission with my Nekros, and everytime I used Desecrate, the affinity bar of my rifle (or any other weapon I had equipped) started blinking, like everytime I kill an enemy with that weapon. After that I tried with my Nova. I spammed Molecular Prime to ensure to get as most kills as possible. I resulted in more experience at the end of the game, not only on my Warframe, but also on my weapons. The next game instead, I completely leeched the game, no kills at all. Based on the same article on the wiki, I should have get 100% on the exp divided by all the equip I had. Since I were full equipped, I should have get 25% exp on every equip I had. At the end of the game though, I got less experience in all equip that the round before, where I killed most of the enemies. It seems to me that now every kill you do with your Warframe, grants you exp to everything you have equipped, and the "leech method" where you should get all the experience evenly distributed doesn't work anymore. So the question is: who is wrong? me or the wiki? I've red on reddit people talking about the same thing the wiki does. Does the UPDATE 14 changed something? Are there more complete details on how experience is given to players? All the test were made in Eris-Xini wave 1 to 10.


How do I get past the "hemispherical depression?

I'm in the Chancel, having just met Agrippa in the area before. There's a Hemispherical Deression and an Orb the game keeps ranting about, but nothing I can seem to do about it. There's an altar I can't do anything to, some levers I can't pull, a door I can't open and a tunnel full of electricity I can't pass, right next to the hemispherical depression. I can pour some tar in the depression and that's about it, but nothing seems to change. What do I do here? I'm clearly supposed to find some orb, but where and how?


How can I make glass tunnels through lava?

I have found a lava pool while tunneling and would like to put up walls for the tunnel in glass so I can see the lava flow in the tunnel (and benefit from its light). I'm having trouble navigating around the pool, however (including some Obsidian at the top, which I know how to deal with). Has anyone ever done this before? What are some good strategies on accomplishing this without (quite literally) getting burned?


Really Big Sky Spaceship Upgrades explained

Can someone explain me what each upgrade does, because some of them don't even make sense. Here's an in-game screenshot of the available upgrades. ![WIDEBAND, POLARSHOT, CONTRA, COHERENCE, FREQUENCY, MAGNETCOIL, ELECTROMAGNET, ORBITAL, CLAYMORE, BASE ENGINE, RADIOSHIELD, WINGCANNON](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eys0C.png) I want to know what Wideband, Polarshot and Contra do, to begin with. It says "Fires 2 shots at 45 degrees", but what exactly does it mean? When the cross is 45 degrees nothing changes, same with 90 and 180 which is about the other two upgrades.


Is there a cooldown on spawning the Eater of Worlds?

Like the question states, I'm wondering if a certain amount of time must pass in-game before you're able to summon him again. The reason I ask is this: An arena has been built, using over 500 Ebonstone, in which to fight the Eater of Worlds. However, upon using Worm Food, he only spawns about 30% of the time. The rest of the times I've tried, nothing has happened. The message "The Eater of Worlds has spawned," or something like that, doesn't show up.


What is "Thief Looting?"

One of the achievements in Assassins Creed: Revelations is to loot 50 dead guards with "thief looting." I tried hiring some thieves and killing a few guards, but the thieves just kind of stood there and looked at me. Looting the dead guards didn't really seem to faze them or do anything different than normal either. What must I do in order to learn how to/execute a "thief loot?"

If I shut down my console from in-game, will games saved to Cloud Storage be uploaded?

Fiddling around under Storage settings, I noticed a new _Cloud Storage Console Copy_ listing under System Items on my hard drive. I'm assuming with this, that games stored in the Cloud Storage are saved locally here first and then uploaded, but when do the games get uploaded to the Cloud? I typically just shut down the console from in-game when I'm done playing, and am wondering if this will cause a problem. Is shutting down immediately after saving a safe option to take if saving games to the cloud? Are the games uploaded immediately or at some later time?

Am I missing something by not owning a home?

I haven't purchased a house yet even though I'm very advanced in the game and close to finishing it (the main quest and most of the bigger side quests at least) Whenever I have excesses in my inventory I can just drop them in my Winterhold room or the other bigger room you get when you do that thing, so I never felt the necessity to buy another one (also, being a thief, I love to have lots of gold on me). What good is it to buy a home?


What's the point of titles in Tales of Vesperia?

I'm a few hours into playing Tales of Vesperia, and I noticed that each of my characters has a few titles to choose from in the Status screen. Does the active title affect gameplay/stats? Does it make cosmetic differences? Or is the only purpose of titles to be fun to collect? By titles, I mean things like > Downtown Boy and Basic Swordsman for Yuri; Man's Best Friend and Dog Warrior > for Repede

How to reset the frequency to 50Hz on a Wii that has been set to 60Hz, without a TV supporting 60Hz?

I changed the settings of a Wii to 60Hz, and I can't reset it to 50Hz since the displaying on my TV does not support 60Hz. I have read over the internet that there is a manipulation that can be done by pressing the down button on a Wii controller while resetting the Wii. It does not work for me. Is there an another workaround?


What is a Pact of Secrecy? Also, what is a Pact of Cooperation?

In Civilization 5, one of the diplomatic options is a Pact of Secrecy. You sign it with one civilization against a specific other civilization. There's another called a Pact of Cooperation, which you sign with just the other civilization. However, I can't find any mention of either of these pacts in the manual or in the Civilpedia. **What do they do?** _Edit:_ Added Pact of Cooperation, since its in the same boat and we have that answered too.


What makes Night Elves flip when jumping in World of Warcraft?

Is there some timing associated with Night Elves jump-flipping? Or is it just random?


Does blizzard silently update the AI?

It seems that the AI was at least twice updated without this being noted in the patch notes. First major thing that i saw was a much better defense against a cannon rush. Then patch 1.1.2 went live and I played a few games against hard AI to test the changes. I was very surprised to see that the second attack wave from my protoss enemy (i was zerg) came with 1,1,1 upgrades. I think before the patch even Very Hard AIs did not upgrade armor/weapons/shields at all (or at least not so soon). Is it just me or did someone else notice this? Why is blizzard doing this and NOT mentioning it in patch notes? I can understand why they wanted to update the AI, but why not mention it?


Can I transfer Kerbonauts from a capsule to Hitchhiker Storage Container without taking an EVA?

I've been constructing a space station, and up to this point, I've been using autonomous launch vehicles to put unmanned sections into orbit. But now it's time to have a permanent presence in orbit. I've just docked my first crew transfer vehicle to the station hub, and now I want to transfer the crew to one of the Hitchhiker pods, but they don't want to seem to go through the docking ports I conveniently placed. How can I move them onto the station without taking them on an EVA?


n52te: program a long mouse button press

I have a Belkin n52te. I'm using the Razor programming software to program it. What I'd like to do is program it to hold down the right mouse button for 5s and then let go. I've tried recording that but it didn't work. I've tried putting a 5000 ms delay between the Button Down and the Button Release event but that also didn't work. Anyone know how to do this? Anyone know of any good forums to search for this? **Edit** : this is for Minecraft. I'd like to make a macro that presses the left mouse button for x number of seconds. Let's say 3. So my macro is: Left Button Press 3000 ms Left Button Release That's exactly what I see on the screen. But that's not what I get when I run the program. I get a single left button press. The behavior isn't restricted to Minecraft. The same thing happens in Notepad++.


Can the voice recognition feature be used to pause and play DVDs and movies?

I just bought kinect and it's pretty cool-- a few minor irritations for a technology as cool as this; it's well worth it. (irritations such as a small lag in game, but then the sensor is only 50cm from the floor and not in the specification, and having to hold you hand up forever before it selects the menu, I mean a grab action should make it quicker, anyway I guess these could be fixed in a software update) But can the voice recognition be used to pause and play movies on DVD, on the HDD and on the network?


Are race usage statistics available to the public?

Do I need low-level minions?

In Evil Genius do I need to keep lower level minions once I've completed the Acts of Infamy that allow me to have high level minions? I think I'm right in saying that only Valets can extinguish fires and only Technicians can repair things, so I need to have a few of those. But are there any tasks that can only be done by a Guard, Mercenary, Spin Doctor or Scientist?

Will I miss out if I don't take the top tier skills?

So my Guardian is 45 now, and I'm rapidly running out of points to put into skills. I'm using the defence tree, and I don't think I'll have enough points to get to Guardian Strike. Will I be missing out by not taking the top tier skills? Should I be working up to these in my build? I was forced to respec in the 1.2 update, so tried Vigilance (dmg) and didn't enjoy it. So will not having the top tier skills matter in the end-game content?

In LoL, what is the (greek?) symbol on Inferno Nasus amulet?

In League of Legends, the Inferno Nasus character has a necklace with three symbols on it. One of the symbols is an Omega, but I don't know what the other two are. Does anyone recognize them? I'm particularly curious about the second one, since that triangular symbol looks _very_ familiar. Do any companies use that as a logo? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CQTOt.png) My best guess is that it's a Sierpinski Triangle, the kind where the three triangles overlap as seen on this page, but with two of the three internal lines removed. Alternatively, some of the symbols for the four classical greek elements look similar - but the lines are in the wrong place and continue outside of the triangle. Does anyone recognize the triangular symbol with the line through it?


Where to find truck/trailers in Grand Theft Auto Online

We'd like to do some truck racing on the Los Santos freeway system. Because you cannot (currently) select a truck in a race "job" we're going to have to do this in freemode. The problem is we need to get 2-6 truck/trailer units to the same location to start the race. With this in mind where is the best place to find truck/trailer units in Los Santos/ Blaine County? Are there places where truck/trailers always spawn?

How do I stop trains from switching tracks in a 'stupid' way

Consider this situation, all signals are Path-signals: ![one train blocking the other](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MqnE7.png) Obviously, it would have been more efficient if the first departing train would have reserved the bottom track. What happened is that the first train actually broke down, blocking the other. Also, the reverse happens. Both trains are coming from the right side of the picture, each reserving their own track, and it only messes up at the last signal, where the train on the upper track reserves the lower platform, thus completely stopping the other train. Is there any way of making sure this doesn't happen?

How does the Steam downloading scheduler work?

I'm a little confused how the Steam Download Restrictions work. It says there's an option to "Limit auto-updating schedule" and to pick a time, and then an option to limit bandwidth to various speeds. Here's a screenshot of how it looks:   ![Steam Download Restrictions: Limit auto-updating schedule from 8AM to 12AM; Limit bandwidth to No limit](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tSmMt.png) Is that the time when it limits auto-updating or when it does auto-update? Does it stop all auto-updating or just limit it? Does the bandwidth limit apply all the time or only during the time you set or don't set?

What is Nidalee's Javelin Toss damage cap?

Nidalee's Javelin Toss is an ability that deals increased damage the further you are from the enemy it hits **at the time of contact.** This ability is stated to deal 250% damage at maximum range, but sometimes it appears to be more than that. Is the 250% multiplier a hard cap, such that added distance no longer helps after that point? If this is the case, what is the maximum distance, and is it longer than the base range of the ability? If 250% isn't a hard cap, what would be Nidalee's maximum damage be at level 1, with starting items, assuming ally help. (i.e. Thresh's Dark Passage) on Summoner's Rift

Tips for getting the Reins of the Drake of the West Wind as fast as possible

I'm working on my dailies to get `Tol Barad Commendations` so I can eventually pick up a `Reins of the Drake of the West Wind`. It seems after one day of dailies, I got 6 commendations. The mount requires 200. My question is, is there an ideal way to get these things faster? One of the quests is `Victory in Tol Barad`. I've never done PvP before but it gives 3 commendations. Do I need to get PvP gear to do this? What's the easiest way to get this done without repeatedly getting ganked? Any and all advice to speed up the progress of getting Tol Barad Commendations including advice for the Victory in Tol Barad quest are highly appreciated.

Are weapons and mods permanently missable?

In Mass Effect 2, there was a chance that if you didn't pick up a weapon/upgrade during certain missions, then you could miss them entirely if you completed the mission without picking them up. However, they also had the functionality where if you missed picking up a weapon in one part of the level, you could get a chance to pick it up in another part of the level before the mission ended. Does this work the same way in Mass Effect 3? Or have they changed it so you'll be able to pick up weapons/mods in later missions if you missed them at your first opportunity?

What are all the different categories of weapons and what upgrades are available for them?

In Mass Effect 2, weapons fell into six categories:   * Assault Rifles    * Shotguns    * Sniper Rifles    * Submachine Guns    * Heavy Pistols    * Heavy Weapons  Are these types the same in Mass Effect 3? Are there new weapon types? Also, upgrades in Mass Effect 2 are not weapon-specific modifications. Instead, the player obtains upgrades through research which apply across an entire weapon type. For example, an Assault Rifle Damage upgrade will boost the damage output of all assault rifles that the player owns, not just a specific model. Does this research oriented system exist in ME3 or are they only weapon specific?

How many secrets are on each level?

I know that there are a total of 71 secrets in the game, but finishing up my first play through the game I see I've missed some, and I don't know where to even begin to look as I start a 2nd game and go for the Seeker of Secrets achievement. I'd like to know how many secrets are on each level, so as I play through the game again, I can have a better sense of which ones I might be missing and where I need to focus more effort on searching. **How many secrets are on each dungeon level?**


Diana Q-R time frame?

I've noticed when playing Diana that if you Q lands slightly after your R it still resets your R. Is this because of one of the following or because a time-frame is allotted, if so is the time-frame known?   * Misconception of when Q & R 'hits' the target. Possible misconception seen here (YouTube video).   * Latency   * Combination of both   * Something else


What are the Giant Telescope room's secrets?

How can I get back to level 5 in Legends of Grimrock, once I've gone to level 6?

I've been tromping around on level 6 ("Trapped") for a while, looking for a way to get back to level 5. I have more or less completed the level, since I can access the stairs down at the end of the Sequentis area, but I can't find a way back up. I did find > a secret staircase in the Halls of Fire (in the long hallway with the > fireball-shooting head) that led back up to level 5. However this leads me > into a room containing two fire elementals that blocks me off from the rest > of level 5. In short, I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the main area of level 5 and above. I'm trying to kill some green slimes I passed up earlier. Is it too late to go back, or is there something I'm missing?

Why am I receiving a "cannot determine custom face code" error when importing my character?

I am trying to import my face from Mass Effect 2 (which was originally from Mass Effect 1) and I get the following error: > Mass Effect 3 cannot successfully determine the face code used by this > imported save game. Please update your character's appearance. Is there any reason or fix for this? I no longer have Mass Effect 1 or 2.


Where should I look for secrets?

Tower of Guns is a quick-playing first-person-shooter with roguelike elements: the map is semi-randomized (around the theme of each level), enemies are random, and death is permanent. There are also secrets scattered randomly around: some walls are illusory, some places are hard to get to, and some corners are simply out of the way. There are around 4 to 6 secrets per level, and I've never found more than 33% in any given level. (Also, there's a gun that unlocks if you find 5 secrets in a level.) I want to know _where I should be looking_. I realize the game is too large to exhaustively list where each one can be found, but is there a theme or pattern of where secrets tend to appear? Are there visual cues I should look for? Do secrets always repeat, so that if I've found a secret in a particular room, that secret will always be there if I find that room in a future game?

How are the World of Warcraft expansions related?

I played vanilla WoW some years ago. I have lost my account and my cd-key, so would have to "start from scratch" if I decide to pick it up again. I've been reading some about the new Cataclysm expansions and is kind of curious and thinking about trying it out. There are several expansions now, and my question is: How are they all related? Would I have to get all of them to try out Cataclysm? If not, if I skipped out on them, what would I be missing? Can I just get a free 10-day pass to try out Cataclysm, or do the 10-day passes limit me to vanilla unless I own other expansions first? If I have only certain expansions will I still run into people who have other expansions, or would my number of expansions decide what realms I would be able to play on?

When I pick "I need help first...", there are 4 options:   * Set the time   * Move to another town   * Demolish my home   * Re-create the town When I choose "Demolish my home", Isabelle will ask if I'm really sure I want to delete that character.

How can I completely delete a song from Frets on Fire?

I have a song I want to delete. I went to `"C:/Program Files/Frets on Fire/data/songs/song-to-delete"` and deleted the folder song-to-delete. When I open the game, it's still there. It won't play, just chokes on an error because I deleted the files for it. How can I get rid of the cassette? Is there any way to _completely_ delete a song from Frets on Fire?


Is the "Armoury" bonus XP for other classes level-dependent or a fixed 50%?

According the in-game docs, the "Armory bonus XP" for lower-level classes depends on the level difference between that class and your main class. ![Armoury Bonus](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HrHKl.png) However, many places _(includinganother answer on Arqade)_ claim that's incorrect and the bonus is always a fixed 50%. * * * A quick Google search gives a lot of conflicting information. For instance, here: > It is a flat 50% bonus to all but your single highest DoW/DoM class. The > pop-up that explains the armoury bonus does say the level difference > determines the bonus, it lied. And here: > The Armory XP bonus caps at 50%. It's possible to hit this cap with a > relatively small difference in levels. And here: > It's 50% bonus if they're > 2 levels lower than your highest, if they're < 2 > levels it's 20%. None of them provide any sources. * * * Does anyone have any **authoritative source** on the matter?   Or better yet, has anyone **Used Their Science!!!™** to figure it out?

What is the optimal start base location?

At the beginning of a game, Xenonauts lets you choose the location of your first base. I started on the most Northern point of North Africa with the consideration that I can cover all of Europe and large parts of Africa and Asia from there. However, most events seemed to occur in North America and Russia in the beginning. Also, I did not take into account that you can upgrade the reach of your base later.   1. **What factors should one consider when setting up your first base?**   2. **Is there an optimal location to start at, and if so, where is it?**


Does my multiplayer Galaxy at War progress count towards all my single player saves?

If I've got substantial Galaxy at War progress via the multiplayer mode, does that carry over to each different playthrough or save I might make? For instance, right now I'm doing a Paragon run. If I opted to restart the game with an evil Shepard, would I have to play more multiplayer on that profile/save in order to gain credit for it, or does my progress apply across all my playthroughs?


Why can enemies see me when I'm cloaked?

I am currently near the beginning of the game (Mars Archives), and I'm at the point in the area where I ride a tram. Soon after, a fight ensues. To reposition myself to a better spot during the fight, I've used Tactical Cloak to become invisible and move to the other side of the room. However, a few times when I have done this, enemies have shot at me. I realize that there's some fade time involved where I'm still partially visible by enemies, but even after I'm fully cloaked, I still occasionally get shot directly in the head and die. My Shepard is level 33, has level 5 Tactical Cloak, and I'm playing on Hardcore difficulty. **Is this a result of me playing on a harder difficulty, or can certain enemies detect invisibility? If so, is there some way for me to tell which enemies can and cannot see me?**


Can I use Mass Effect 3 DLC while offline?

Every time I open Mass Effect 3, it connects to the EA network with the message "Validating DLC". For something like the pre-order guns, I don't see this as being a big deal, but for something bigger, like an entire DLC _squadmate_ , I don't want to be "always online" just to use my Rastafarian squadmate. Do I still have access to unlocked DLC while offline? Do I _lose_ access to unlocked DLC if I load a save file with the DLC while offline? This, in my mind, is a dealbreaker when it comes to buying the darn things in the first place...


How can I make Drake do a kung-fu disarm?

Once in a while, when I melee an enemy soldier, Drake pulls off a piece of kung-fu action and kills the enemy while whisking away his gun (for example, in one, Drake kicks a shotgun out of an opponent's hands and then grabs it as it falls down). In another, Drake pulls the pin from a grenade that an opponent is holding and then kicks them away, so that the grenade kills them a few seconds later. Frankly, I think all these animations are pretty cool to watch, and I'd like them to happen all the time. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what conditions are required to get them to trigger. **Are kung-fu disarms random in Uncharted 3, or can I force them to occur?**

Can I enable autosave on non-realistic save setting?

I recently have started a new realistic game of Warband as on my non-realistic one there was no autosave once I visited a town or made camp. Which let me lose progress a lot of times as I forgot to save quite frequently. On realistic, it saves all the time yet it is kind of a bit too much rogue- like gameplay for my taste. I really did like the option to "cheat" by reloading. So I was wondering: Is there a an option to enable autosave on non-realistic game setting?


How can I farm for P Flonzor parts?

I'm trying to get the P Flonzor ship parts to get to the Land of Carnage but after interogating enemies I get junk in the treasure chests and have to start all over. I know which monsters I need to get them from but that guide doesn't explain very much beyond that. What's the most efficient way to farm for these? Should I interrogate a whole bunch of monsters all at once and check treasures one by one, or should I interrogate one monster and repeatedly check the same chest, resetting if I don't get it? Do some areas have a higher likelyhood of having P Flonzor parts in treasure? I heard X Dimension chests have a _lower_ chance of being Flonzor parts.


How can I train Options Selects?

This question explains what an Option Select (OS) is, but how can I actually train them? I know it is possible to go into training mode and use the dummy to record an OS, so I can test it with the 1st player char.   * Scenario 1: Get hit -> Option 1 gets executed   * Scenario 2: Backdash -> Option 2 gets executed But it takes a lot of time and pressing menu buttons to see if the input of one OS was correct. I struggle especially with executing combos right after the OS. Example for Ryu: sweep, j.HK OS Tatsu cr.MP ... (rest of combo)

How do I combat mass Void Rays as Protoss?

I play PvP games with a friend of mine. Neither of us is very good, but he usually wins because he has played more than me. Thing is though that he rarely does anything other than build a bunch of void rays and come have his way with me; he rarely rushes with anything else. What should I be building to counter this? My inclination is to build stalkers but I am unsure of the exact build and I'm too much of a newbie to know when I should be building what. Edit: Up until he attacks me, he keeps up a good defense at his base. Last time I played him he blocked his ramp with cannons.

Trading strategies - novice mining areas in EVE

I was talking to a corp-mate last night and she mentioned that she used to go to fringe mining systems away from trade hubs and put up buy orders for Trit at much cheaper than the current prices (ie. 1,000,000 trit @ 4.0 ISK ea/ whereas Jita is around 5.07). She said she made a hefty profit because miners either didn't know where to take their minerals or couldn't transport them. My question is- Can I tell where these systems might be by looking at the starmap and it's associated statistics? Should I use an external website? I have a miner myself, but I normally followed my corp to mine, so I'm not really sure where these systems are I should look for.

How do achievements work in Minecraft?

I'm trying to figure out how to get achievements in Minecraft Beta 1.5. I'm on a multiplayer server, and there's a message that says `Press 'I' to open your inventory` in the top-right corner. However, when I open my inventory, nothing happens. Looking at the Achievements page in the game menu, `Taking Inventory` is highlighted and blinking, and no other achievements appear to be available for collection. Is there a step I'm missing, like selecting the achievement somehow? Or does it just not work yet?

Is it possible to get "Advanced Trade" and "Master Trade" even if I don't have "Trade" or will they only trade it with me if I also trade the prerequisite technologies in the same deal? If it is possible to get technologies without fulfilling their requirements regarding earlier technologies, what consequences does this have for the tech tree?

Which Monk spirit-generator skills generates spirit the fastest?

In what order does the Monk's spirit-generating skills generate spirit the fastest? Both with and without all runes unlocked? I use Crippling Wave most of the time, but often find myself out of spirit so was wondering if there was a significant difference in the spirit-generating skills. After looking into it a bit, I found that all 4 skills consist of 3 hit- combos, so generate the same amount of spirit per combo, although Fists of Thunder has the fastest attack speed, so generates the most spirit of the four without any runes. However I don't like Fists of Thunder, and want to know which of the remaining ones are the fastest, and if there's even a significant difference in spirit- generation between them.

How to turn on Direct3D acceleration

Hi I was trying to play the settlers 6 which as I know uses DirectX 9. During startup it said `Graphics Engine could not be initialized` so I started dxdiag where one point was deactivated: Direct3D acceleration. One could argue that my graphics card is to old but I am sure that this game was running perfectly last time and the 64-bit version of dxdiag states that the hardware acceleration is on! So I want to know how to turn it on because reinstalling DirectX 9 always stated that it was already installed. (Before someone asks my graphics card is nVidia GeForce 260 GTX) I recently tested it with windows 8 and it worked without problems.

When is the right time to hit the ball protection button?

Madden 12 has a button to be used when rushing that makes the player tuck the ball to prevent fumbles. The game does a good job of mentioning the button's existence, but just says to press it before being tackled. I'm unclear on whether that means I press the button and hold it, or pressing it once makes them tuck it for the rest of the run. Hitting it right when I get tackled seems awkward, since at the same time I'm also trying to press the stiff arm button to break the tackle.

I know that Monster Power affects drop rates of a lot of things including the keys, but the pieces of the Staff of Herding pre-dated the MP system. Does a higher MP affect the chance of SoH pieces dropping (specifically the plans)?


Remove old savegame

I have an old savegame on the iPhone (level 2). Whenever I open the game I started on the iPad Mini (lvl 20), it asks me if I want to load the level 2 village. I tried removing the game from Game Center and the game itself multiple times on the iPhone, but the alert won't go away. How can I overwrite it with the new save / delete the old one?


How does the skill damage work?

My Eviscerate skill currently says: > Inflicts 88% of Weapon DPS Let's not take into account the extra DoT effect that this skill does. Does that mean that attacking with this skill actually does _less_ damage than attacking normally? Does it mean that it deals 88% of the total average damage I would deal per second in a single hit (this would make it a slight damage bonus, depending on my attack speed)? Overall, what exactly does htis 88% represent?


Why Isnt TwitchTv Streaming Working?

I just updated to 1.7.4 and connected my Twitch account to my Mojang account. When I finally tried to stream it worked for a few seconds and then this came up in chat: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xaYRT.png) This stopped the stream from running. I have tried lowering the quality and FPS to 20 but that doesn't help. I want to know how to fix this problem. If you want to know my computer specs let me know.


Why is my army size halved?

When my king died, the next king (oldest son) could only raise like half the army (levies) I could before. What happened?


Are enemies scaled based on my level?

Open-ended games like this (including some previous Final Fantasy titles I believe) will adjust the level of monsters based on the characters level. Does that apply at all in Final Fantasy 13-2? If so, what are the details? Does it apply to both bosses and random monsters? Is it based on how far my characters on the crystarium, or monsters too, or something else?


What are the full lyrics to the song from the Skyrim trailer? The song from 1:07 onward (when the character shouts) is sung in Skyrim's draconic language, and a section of the song from 1:30 onward (from "Dovahkiin! Dovahkiin! onward) was translated from a set of draconic runes released by Bethesda. What are the complete lyrics?


How to buy Skyrim in a country where Steam version is not avaliable and there is no retail?

I'm from Tbilisi, Georgia, and steam says that game is not available for my country. There are no "official" shops here to buy retail. On the nearest Russian online shops I see a notice stating that license is for Russia and countries of the CIS (Georgia is not among them from 2008). So what are my options? How can I get a licensed version of this long awaited game?


What's the difference between One-Way Signal and One-Way Path Signal?

I really wonder what's the difference between one way signal and one way Path signal. I know they're not the same but my trains work with both of them. Also, building one way signal is slightly harder than building the path one.


Play PS2 data on remastered PS3 game

I have reading up on this online but I haven't found anything. Say I were to copy data from my PS2 memory card and transfer it to my PS3, using Sony's memory card adapter. Could I then use this data on a game made for the PS3? The game is Tomb Raider Anniversary, it has been re-made for the PS3 along with Legend and Underworld. So could anyone confirm if I could play my PS2 save game on the PS3 version of the game? Thanks very much.


Can I move all Pokemon at once?

I want to restart my game but with about 500 Pokemon and most of them bred to have perfect IVs I don't really want to lose them. So I bought a 1 Year License for Pokemon Bank to "save everything". My problem now is: It takes forever to move every single pokemon by hand. Is there some way to upload all boxes and if not: Can I speed up the process somehow?

I created a RuneScape account using the Facebook-Login. Now I would like to remove this dependency, to be able to log in using user/password, instead of having to use facebook. I added an email address, but I still can't seem to login using email+password. Is it even possible to do this?

Do medic and ammo bags run out after a certain number of uses, or after a certain amount of health/ammo dispensed?

Payday: The Heist contains medic and ammo bags which replenish health and ammunition, respectively. After a while, these bags become depleted and vanish. I haven't been able to figure out if a bag disappears after it has been used a certain number of times, or if it disappears after replenishing a certain amount of health or ammo. I ask because if the first case is true, then I should avoid using bags when I'm at 75% or higher on health / ammo, because I'll be effectively wasting a use. If the latter is true, then I can use bags whenever I want, because I won't be hurting any other members of my team. **Do medic and ammo bags run out after a certain number of uses, or after a certain amount of health / ammo has been dispensed?"**


Can the Paragon choice at the end of Thane's prayer differ based on certain factors?

Note: **Here be spoilers**. I couldn't really figure out a way to ask this without them. My Shepard is a female who plays (mostly) Renegade and also romanced Thane in Mass Effect 2. I have no idea if this plays out differently depending on whether or not you gained Thane's loyalty in 2, but for the record, I did. After the attack on the Citadel and Thane becomes hospitalized, you can go see him. Depending on the option when Kolyat asks if you want to join him in prayer or not, the lines of the prayer Kolyat says change. ## Renegade choice (declining): > Kolyat: Kalahira, this one's heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and > contention. Guide him to where all hunters return, where all storms become > still, where all stars show the path. Guide him, Kalahira, and he will be a > companion to you as he was a father to me. This version is obviously from Kolyat's point of view. ## Paragon choice (joining): > Kolyat: Kalahira, this one's heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and > contention. > > Shepard: Guide this one to where the traveler never tires, the lover never > leaves, the hungry never starve. > > Kolyat:Guide this one, Kalahira, and she will be a companion to you as she > was to me. After this version, Shepard asks Kolyat why the end of the prayer used "she," and he responded: > The prayer was not for him, Commander. He has already asked forgiveness for > the lives he has taken. His wish was for you. How does the Paragon version of the prayer differ? I suspect that the line "Kalahira, this one's heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and contention" may differ based on whether or not your Shepard is Paragon or Renegade. In addition, how does the ending of this prayer change if you were either a female who did not romance him or were male? Having to replay this scene over and over to screencap the dialogue for transcription may or may not have resulted in teary-eyed sniffles.


How to force controller IDs in Windows 7?

So I have a media/gaming box set up, along with some hacky bluetooth/dualshock 3 drivers for primary controllers. It actually works pretty well as it is for singleplayer or two-player games. The issue comes when I plug in a third and fourth controller, which are wired USB deals (an Xbox 360 Wired pad and a PS2 controller through an old RadioShack adapter.) The issue is that while the DS3s are assigned Controller ID 1 and 2 when they power on, as soon as one of the USB pads gets plugged in, it commandeers the "earlier" controller IDs. This works okay for some things (like Dolphin) where I can assign a specific device by driver to a specific controller. It doesn't work so well for other things (like MAME) which operate solely on controller ID: the DS3 bindings for player 1 are suddenly applied to the 360 pad or the USB controller. Thus, the question. When I plug in the wired pads, I'd either like Windows to recognize that two gamepad devices are already attached (via bluetooth) and PROPERLY assign it to ID 3, or alternatively a way (via software) to forcibly reassign controller IDs so I don't have to futz with MAME's mappings every time I plug in new controllers and then again when I unplug them. Please help!


What dialogue lines indicate the infected patient in Payday: The Heist?

In Payday: The Heist, the No Mercy mission requires you to identify an infected patient among three possible options. According to this answer: > ...each player gets a different dialogs from the doctor. For instance, > during our last game, I heard that patient A was bitten by a monkey, but my > friends heard that he came back sick from abroad. It would be helpful to have a complete list of all of the phrases that indicate that a particular patient is the infected one, so that no matter what each player hears, they all know who the true target is. **What are all the phrases that indicate that a particular patient is infected?**

I wonder what it is supposed to mean, if anything. **Is this a bug or is it a visual tip about the employee?**

What effect does happiness have?

I understand that happiness affects growth? Does it matter to what degree my population is happy? Am I ok as long as I have one happy face, or is there a relative effect? Also in Civipedia it says: > ...a very unhappy population will also affect the fighting qualities of your > armies as well. How and when does it have an effect?

How can I stop Civilization 5 from asking me twice which DirectX mode to play in?

I (pre) downloaded and installed Civilization 5 through Steam, on Windows 7. When I start it, Steam asks me if I would like to start:   * Civilization 5   * Civilization 5 (DirectX 9) Then, Civilization "starts" into its menu program and asks me if I would like to start:   * Civilization 5, DirectX 9 mode   * Civilization 5, DirectX 10/11 mode, recommended **Can I disable one or both questions, and if so, how?** ie how can I make the game always start in DX10/11 mode without asking me again?

Automatic or Manual?

I don't see on the Official MarioKart Guide about Automatic vs Manual? 1) Is it true if everybody is using Manual and you use Automatic, then you have an advantage, unless the person is really good at using Manual? (but probably you don't want to be seen needing this advantage) 2) With Automatic, you can't press the B button to hop and do power slides or Mini-Turbo? 2b) The booklet in the box says Automatic means automatic drift, but no mini- turbo. Seems like the term "drift", "power slide" mean the same thing? Mini- turbo is a something you can with Manual, and if you drift long enough? (update: i just found http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_Mario_Kart.pdf ) 3) Is that the same with Karts and Bikes? 4) When you are getting better and better, is it better just to use Manual? 5) If you try to beat some top records in the world, then using Manual is almost a must? Thanks for your answer!


Civilization 5 kicks host whenever a player joins

I'm trying to play Civilization V with my brother (who is on my network) and my friend (who is not on my network). I host a private internet game, enable 3 AI players, and invite them to the game. My brother can join without a problem, but when my friend joins it tells him that I disconnected (I still see him in the list but I do not receive his chat messages), even though I can still talk to my brother. It's like there are two different games going on, one with me and my brother, and one with my brother and his friend. If I try to start the game before my friend is disconnected (he is usually with us for a few seconds), Civ will freeze for a few moments, and then when it loads, it will just be my brother and me; my friend is kicked into his own game. Why does this happen? We are not using Hamachi, and I have forwarded the port 4380 on both TCP and UDP. Is this the right port? We are going to try using Hamachi, but we'd really rather not. ( **EDIT:** _We used Hamachi, it still didn't work._ )


In sites such as Steamtrades, how do you know if the 'key' that you are buying is from RU CIS or the ROW version?

Once you build a University, can the high school and community college be safely closed?

Last night I needed to save some cash in my large, self-sustaining, city after building a brand new University. Looking through the options of what to turn off, I decided to turn off my high school and community college, just leaving my grade schools as the other education options. My cities tech level continued to advance, rapidly in fact, and all my industries started upgrading. My education level also rose significantly after the first day of university classes. With that in mind, **once you have a University, can you safely turn off or demolish your high school and community college to save funds? Is there a downside to doing this?**


Weapon types in Centipede?

What are the names of the array of weapons you can have in the game Centipede (1998 PC version)? What are the effects they can do? I don't just want to know all of the blaster abilities.

How fast does the limit break meter increase?

The amount that your limit break meter goes up is a function of how much damage you take and what limit level you're currently set at, and some specific status effects. I know that the higher the limit level, the slower the meter increases. The question is just how much slower does it increase with increased limit level? One thing to look at, for example, is Yuffie's Bloodfest (level 2 limit break) vs. Doom of the Living (level 3 limit break), which have similar mechanics. Although Doom of the Living will deal more damage than Bloodfest on a single use, the fact that I get to use Bloodfest more often might outweigh that overall. I can't be sure unless I know how much the limit level affects how often I get a limit break. **What are the specific mathematical mechanics for how the limit break meter increases?**


Why can't I play Fez when offline?

For some reason, every time I try to play Fez without being signed into Xbox Live, it only let's me play the trial version, even though the only version in my game library is the full version. I'm trying to get all of the anti-cubes in the clocktower room by advancing the time on my Xbox (for which you must me offline). Now you see my dilemma. I could wait 12 more hours for the cube to appear but I'd rather not have to wake up at 5:00 to play Xbox. Although Fez is worth it. Help?


What are the actual names of the stages in Centipede?

In the 1998 PC version of Centipede there are many stages of 5 levels each. The bosses I was told helped contribute the name. These are:   1. Giant Ant   2. Giant Praying Mantis   3. Huge Wasp   4. (there are two more but I can't remember what they are) What are the five worlds called?


Does enlightenment stack?

Does the monk buff enlightenment stack with other experience buffs? For example say you've got the rested bonus and an heirloom that gives 10% more experience gained, would this add up to 260% experience gained? Or if you have the rested bonus would the 50% be calculated as 50% of 200, making the total 300%? Or does enlightenment just not stack with rested/heirlooms at all?


What types of weapons or ammunition won't work with the Siren's Chain Reaction skill?

Maya / the Siren's Chain Reaction skill under the Cataclysm skill tree is described as: > While you have an enemy Phaselocked all of your shots that hit enemies have > a chance to ricochet and hit another nearby enemy. _Chain Reaction only > works with bullets._ What are considered "bullets" by the game?   * Will Chain Reaction work with Shotgun ammunition? (The "Chain Reaction" article on the Borderlands wiki states that " _...using guns that can fire multiple bullets at a time, such as shotguns, can result in multiple ricochets at once._ ") Does this mean that Shotgun ammo are counted as bullets for the sake of the Chain Reaction skill?   * What about Torgue weapons that shoot Gyrojet projectiles or folding fin rockets?    * Thrown (reloaded) Tediore weapons?    * Unique weapons with weird projectiles (like the Sand Hawk and the Unkempt Harold)?    * Legendary weapons that have bouncing or already ricocheting projectiles (e.g. Conference Call, Madhous!)?    * E-tech weapons (especially the SMGs [Plasma Casters])?   * Grenades that shoot bullets (Bouncing Betty grenades)?  Which other weapons or ammo types won't work with Chain Reaction (or will work weirdly with it)? ![Chain Reaction screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fH6Je.jpg)

What features does the X-Box One require internet access for?

Since they first announced the XBox One at E3 there's been crap loads of changes that I began to just tune out until it came out. I need to know exactly which features require internet access since the XBox One was announced. I would buy one for my dad, but I would rather like to avoid anything that requires the internet with him (cause then if he is using something that requires the internet I'm going to be called up every time there is a drop out). So I need to know what he would miss out and if he actually needs it? Does the Xbox One require an Internet connection? If so, what for? Is it detrimental to the user if they do not have internet plugged in all the time.


I can't hit the magical orc with a critical shot (headshot) in the 'My Kingdom for a Wand' quest

In the optional mission, My Kingdom for a Wand in the Tiny Tina DLC, the last task is to shoot the Magical Orc in the head with a critical shot. I now have so many bodies piled up around the hut, that I can't always see him to stick the wand in. I've tried sniper weapons, shotguns with bonus to critical chance, looking though sights to make sure his head is in the view finder, but I still cannot finish the mission. What am I doing wrong?


Access online play on PS4 from a country with no local PSN and no foreign credit card

Do I have to have Sakura Samurai running in order to dedicate steps from the 3DS pedometer to the Rock Garden?

_Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword_ makes uses of the 3DS's pedometer in the Rock Garden activity. According to the manual, I can dedicate my steps to it once a day to improve the garden. Do I have to have Sakura Samurai running to record the steps or does the game import from the system pedometer the same way the play coins do? Or do I have to run the game, go on a walk, then later launch the game again and go to the Rock Garden then?

As a zerg against a bioball, should you focus fire on the medivacs, or on the offensive units?

Assuming it's early-mid-game and I have relatively few hydralisks and mutalisks behind my main force of zerglings and banelings, does it make sense to focus fire on the medivacs or just try to take out more of the things that can shoot back? Marines are appealing targets, given their high DPS-to-HP ratio. If the answer is "no, don't focus on the medivacs," then based on this more general thread it sounds like there's no point on focus-firing at all, let units pick their own targets. If it matters, I'm playing against the AI on very hard. I'm too chicken to try placing yet.


Can I permanently store items somewhere?

In good old CRPG tradition I'm taking anything that isn't nailed down with me. I've got half a forest worth of assorted plants and more iron ore and other crafting materials than any normal human could carry. Now, at some point I'm reaching the weight limit of my inventory, but I really don't want to throw any crafting and alchemy ingredients away. Is there a place where I can permanently store items so I don't have to carry them around? In the first game you could do that generally in inns, but I'm now at the first Inn in the game and see no option to store my items.

How do I resurrect essential NPCs in Skyrim?

I was having some problems in Whiterun with the guard because I needed to pay a fine of over 3000 gold (a considerable quantity for someone that just started the game), so I decided to kill all the guards. The problem came when Commander Caius (an essential NPC) started to attack me, so I attacked him too. As essential NPCs cannot die, I decided to used the console to set him to be mortal. After that I killed him. Some of my friends told me that this Caius is an important character in the game, so I want to resurrect him. I still have his corpse, if it's needed. **Is there any console command that can be used to resurrect someone?** Thanks.


How do I obtain Ascended gear?

I'm looking for information on how to earn Ascended tier items in Guild Wars 2, to make high-level runs of the new dungeon, Fractals of the Mists, easier. This tier of loot is between Exotic and Legendary for those that did not know. When running through FotM, you can pick up 'Vials of Condensed Mists', which I can only assume are crafting materials for either infusions or Ascended gear. There are infusions and a Gift of Ascension available for sale (for FotM tokens) from a merchant in the FotM lobby. So, my main questions are:   * How does one use these materials (Vials, infusions) for crafting?    * Are backpieces and jewelry the only items you can make (as ANet said), or has anyone made any weapons?    * Are there any other infusions available?


What effects do Token's of Fidelity/Spite have on summoning/invading and being summoned/invaded?

The game seems to encourage multiplayer more than its predecessors did. When I get summoned and kill a boss successfully I have been given Token's of Fidelity. Does having more have any effect on my Summon Sign? Am I more likely to bubble to the top or the bottom? Do I gain any boosts? Or are they purely used for Blue Sentinel sparring matches?


No new villager has created a plot to move in yet?

I've had a normal villager move out four days ago, and no new plot has appeared. Usually when a villager of mine moved out, two days pass and a new plot appears, or a camper the day after they move. I have eight villagers now, and I do have space for a new villager, so what's happening? Is it because of upcoming events that were in the way? (Harvest moon, and now the bug off) or do I have to wait a little bit longer?


How can I set up my skills for use underwater?

I noticed that when I go underwater, my healing and utility skills all change to the default setup I had when I first started playing the game, before I made any customizations. This leads me to believe that you can specify separate skill sets for normal combat and underwater combat. It only makes sense, since you have a different weapon in each case. How can I pick which skills I will have available underwater?

Screen Tints Blue when playing Team Fortress 2 on OSX

Ever since I downloaded tf2 the screen is tinted blue whenever I launch it. I'm on a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011. The same problem has happened to a friend of mine who also has an MBP, but it doesn't happen on an iMac I have. I've narrowed it down to tf2 changing the color profile. Its not just tf2, all the source games do it, Half Life 2, Garry's Mod, Counter Strike etc. If I go into system prefs and click on displays it fixes itself. This is really annoying to fix manually every time I launch tf2, so if anyone else has figured out how to fix this, I would appreciate them sharing the solution. Thanks. My specs:   * OSX 10.9.2   * 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5   * 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3    * Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB   * 13-inch Macbook Pro Early 2011


Where is my Bitizen?

Console crash towards the end of Dark Brotherhood questline

_**_* Spoilers below of Dark Brotherhood questline *** In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary; > ... after the quest to kill the emperor completes, you find Nazir and kill > the guy fighting him - you then decide that you must both escape the > sanctuary quickly as it's burning - during which time the Night Mother > speaks to you and tells you to join her as it's your only chance of > salvation. When I do this, it starts a cut-scene and the screen goes dark.

I retried 2 further times and it appears to be persistent and permanent. Other than dropping everything that I'm carrying and trying again, is there much I can do to fix it? I was kinda hoping for a New-Vegas style "put on a cowboy hat and enter the strip!" style solution! :)


PainterlyPack "Biome Compliant" Vines just showing up as white

I just downloaded a customized PainterlyPack for Minecraft, and have chosen a lot of "biome compliant" options. The thing is, they all show up as just white. I have patched with MCPatcher, per Painterly's suggestion, but everything is still just white. What have I done wrong? I didn't find anything Googling or reading through Painterly's website. Thanks.


Is it possible to disable camera bumping?

In diablo 3, certain spells cause the camera to shake a bit. For example, wizard's meteor or the barbarian's cleave. I want to know if it is possible to disable this. The reason is that I have a build that use a lot one spell that cause the camera to shake, and so it disturbs me more than anything else.

Preventing snow from sticking around in Minecraft?

The spawnpoint of my Tekkit Lite server is a massive ice plains biome for hundreds of blocks. In order to make it a bit more hospitable, I'm wanting to somehow get rid of the snow near the spawn. So far, it seems like the options are: a. Make the ground all slabs like so b. Put a big glass ceiling over everything. Are there any others? What's the least intrusive way (I.e., "the way that prevents me from having to build some kind of canopy.")? N.B., I'm the server admin and I'm also okay with using hacks to accomplish this, if any exist. Though I would rather do things in-game if possible.


Action Replay code to cut Jigglypuff's Rest sleep time in Super Smash Bro Melee?

I'm trying to practice the space animal slayer combo, but it's harder than I expected. It's annoying to wait for Jigglypuff to wake up and I have Action Replay (AR) for the GameCube. I've searched the main AR codes websites, _arcentral.net_ and _gscentral.org_ , but I can't find a code to make Jigglypuff's Rest last a shorter duration.

Im about to do the quest where i have to find incinerator clayton as a quest sent by lilith so i decided to do some research on this guy.What lilith said was that they worshiped her as a god (the firehawk).It also states that he sends vault hunters on tasks,so that must mean he is an ally. > Incinerator Clayton is the main NPC of the mission Cult Following: The > Enkindling, although the mission is given by Lilith in Sanctuary. Clayton is > the leader of a cult called Children of the Firehawk. The Children of the > Firehawk worship Lilith as their god and seek ways to please her. Clayton > will send Vault Hunters on tasks, which mainly involve setting the cult's > members on fire, in attempts to please The Firehawk. However people on websites have said that clayton was a boss. Im stuck between opinions between what the borderlands has said and what people have said on the web. I would want to be prepared as much as possible before engaging on this quest. Is he good or evil?


Do structures count as terrain?

Vayne's Condemn says: > **If they collide with terrain** after being knocked back, they are dealt > the same amount of physical damage again and are stunned for 1.5 seconds. Similarly, Poppy's Heroic Charge says: > ... **if they collide with terrain** , her target will take a high amount of > magic damage and be stunned for 1.5 seconds. So if the enemy hits a turret, inhibitor, or nexus, does it count as terrain and cause these abilities to stun the target?


Is Poppy's Valiant Fighter applied on full damage or excess?

Poppy's innate ability Valiant Fighter is as following: > Any damage dealt to Poppy that exceeds 10% of her current health is reduced > by 50%. This does not reduce damage from structures. But is the 50% reduction applied to the full damage or only the excess of the 10%? In other words if Poppy took a hit that would do 12% of her total health in damage would it be reduced to 6% (12%/2) of her total health or 11%(10%+2%/2) of her total health?
