Minecraft Server 1.7.2 Not working

I recently got a server up and working on my computer for 1.6.4 - it was a lot of confusion and problems, but in the end I have my router set up for port forwarding on :25565, and I have my firewall settings letting Minecraft, my 1.6.4 server, and Java SE Binary through (although I don't know if I needed all of those). However, with the 1.7.2 update, my server isn't working at all anymore. I tried an Open Port Check Tool to see if it's a problem with the other computer, but it says my port is closed on :25565. So, I have two questions:   1) If I have the Minecraft server (from the Minecraft website), but for 1.6.4, will it update to 1.7.2 on its own, or do I need to download the server 1.7.2 on the website?   2) Why isn't my server working?


Is there a way to block changes to an area using command blocks?

I am looking for a way to make it so no one can edit a small area of space I select. Is there a way to do this? I'd prefer not to use any mods, I'm looking for a solution using command blocks. Is this possible? I am using a Singleplayer world, not a server


Does raising smithing over 100 do anything?

Semi-related: Is it possible to boost skills beyond 100 points? I bring this up because I just found the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Notched_Pickaxe. I did test this myself, and I didn't seem to see any difference in improving my armor. Also note that the wikia page for the pickaxe specifically states that it can't be improved over 100. Just want to verify with you guys, thanks! EDIT Thanks for the quick answers. Not only is it possible, you can disenchant the Notched Pickaxe and get 10 extra smithing points by enchanting it onto 2 weapons we can be dual wielded.


How do I kill the Xinopherydon?

I fly in with my rocket boots and can't kill it before it kills me - it's got 5000 HP and hits really hard (500HP a go). I keep dying.


How do I transfer previous generation Pokémon to X/Y?

How does one go about transferring Pokémon from previous generations this time around? Presumably, due to the 3DS's lack of GBA slot, _Gen3_ Pokémon would need to be transferred to a _Gen4_ cartridge. But how does it work beyond this point? Specifically:   * Which generations can be used to send Pokémon to _Gen6_? Can _Gen4_ (D/P/Pl/HG/SS) send directly to _Gen6_ , or do Pokémon from those cartridges first need to be sent to _Gen5_ (B/W/B2/W2)?   * What systems are required to perform this task? Does it need to be two connected 3DS (3DS / XL / 2DS) systems or can the previous generations be hosted on a DS (Phat / Lite / i)?   * What (if any) in-game tasks must be completed prior to transferring? Of the generation 4 and 5 games I've played, the transfer tools were not unlocked until after the Elite Four were beaten.   * How, exactly, does it work this time around? The tools for each generation so far have been wildly different; a safari-zone-like minigame, and a shooting gallery minigame.   * Is there any other information someone looking to transfer Pokémon to generation 6 should be made aware of? For example; PC Box storage limitation issues for anyone looking to transfer their living Pokédex.


ModLoader not decompiling files

I want to start making minecraft mods, but have had a bad time of using modloader. (I'm modding 1.6.4). I've run the batch file decompile.bat, but when opening the eclipse folder there are no files in the bin folder. The batch file ran fine with no errors, and if I go to /src/minecraft/net/minecraft there are many decompiled java files, but no modloader files like BaseMod.java. If I open this folder with eclipse, nothing appears in the package explorer menu. What's going wrong and how do I fix it? Any help greatly appreciated.

As a cargo tech, what's the proper procedure to follow when someone requests supplies?

Too get to know the game I've been working as a simple cargo tech for the past few sessions. It took some getting used to but I've now figured out how to order new supplies and call for the supply shuttle. On the station I'm playing the quartermaster doesn't seem to hang around much, so whenever people come to the cargo station with a request I just always approve it. Is this actually the right procedure? Should I be asking for official approvals more often, and if so from who?


How do I buckle myself in?

After some less successful sessions, I finally managed to survive on the station until the emergency shuttle arrived. Better yet, I was even able to locate it and get in on time. However, when the shuttle departs I get knocked to the ground. I can see other people buckling themselves in, so I'm assuming the reason I get slammed around a bit is that I didn't strap in myself? How do I buckle in? I tried dragging myself onto a chair, or just clicking it but that didn't seem to work.


How do I know if a city is connected by wireless?

I attempted to have one city in the corner of the region broadcast ControlNet and start a new city in a different corner using money from the first city. Both ControlNet and money gifts are wireless, so it made sense for them to work to any city in the region. This is apparently not the case; wireless transfers appear to be restricted in some unknown way based on whether the cities are "connected". I know other resources can't be gifted or shared without a road, rail, or water connection - which of these three connections means determines whether cities are connected by wireless?


How can I (safely) disable a car?

In numerous instances, I've wanted to disable a car quickly (usually while driving, but occasionally on foot). With my current loadout this means a lucky grenade, shooting the driver, or managing to get them to crash. While seeing the driver fly out the front of the car into traffic is pretty entertaining, I'd love the ability to quickly and reliably disable a car while also driving (especially the big ones that the clones ride on). I've tried shooting all the tires, and was left with a still-driving spark-generating version of the car. An ideal method wouldn't raise my notoriety - shooting the driver is quick, but that usually turns a one car chase into a 3+ car chase. Is there a way to quickly and "quietly" disable a car that's chasing me? If not, is shooting the driver the best method, and what gun is easiest to do this with?

Is there a maximum range on arrows?

With character draw way up and from a high vantage point, sometimes you can see creatures very far away. With proper angle and height advantage, it appears that I should be able to strike these creatures with an arrow. But no matter how many times I've tried it just looks like the arrow disappears into the body. Is there some sort of maximum range to arrow shots? Or am I just missing? I've ruled out the possibility that maybe the health bar isn't showing up because of distance. I'm using a soul trap weapon and shooting a creature that dies in 1 hit just to be sure.


How do I apply more than one weapon enchantment in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?

Is it possible to give a weapon in TES IV more than one enchantment? If so, how do I do it, and what are your personal recommendations for weapon/enchantment combinations for a warrior type character, destinated to apply maximum damage (balanced to hurt magical creatures like ghosts as much as non magical creatures like humans)?


Best pattern for elevated lava or water?

Related to this question, I am trying to create an elevated surface where I can put water. The surface below is made up of ladders/signs to keep the water flowing down, but still allows items (e.g., eggs) to pass through. What is the optimal pattern for the ways in which the ladders would be laid out in, say, an 8x8 square area?


What high-level enemies respawn in Borderlands?

Much like this question's author, I'm interested in gaining good XP at a high level. But rather than doing challenges (which often get done in the course of normal playing, especially the _'kill X of Y'_ type) I'd prefer to do it specifically by fighting enemies. George Stocker mentioned in his answer that Motorhead respawns every 15 minutes, but surely he can't be the only unique enemy/boss who respawns. Skyscraper giving 23k XP would be great but as far as I know he's a one-off. It seems that an exhaustive list of respawning enemies would be quite useful. Is there a list of farmable enemies, and where to find them?


How do I turn on VSync and other advanced settings in Dead Island?

I can't stand screen tearing and I'm wondering how I can turn on vertical sync. There doesn't seem to be on option to turn it on through the game itself. Where can I find the file to turn it on? Are there other settings I can adjust that aren't available ingame? I'm running Windows 7.

What is the definition of "entity" in the Minecraft Debug Screen?

Title says it all. This other question indicates that the second line with an E on the debug screen is describing the entities. What is an entity? My guess, (based upon observations) is that it is any MOB (friendly or hostile) and any items. The "number rendered" is really the number in the field of view (i.e. the solid angle determed by the "view port" into the minecraft world, while the total number is the entire number currently loaded in memory. If you're standing still, that'd be all the mobs/items in a roughly 200x200 (in X and Z) square centered on the character? (I'm assuming single player vanilla minecraft here.)


Miners do not obey certains orders

I've started my fortress and dug one level down and cleared it out without a problem but created stairway on third level and unable to dig the tile under it? I can see it and designate to be mined but miners aren't doing the task. They are sitting inactive and if I designate anything on the current levels to mine they do it without issue.   The mineral below is white sand so they should be able to dig that up right?

Useful King's Bounty units / unit combinations

The `King's Bounty - The Legend` and `King's Bounty - Armored Princess` games have an impressive amount of different creatures to use. I tried switching creatures often, but the morale system really discourages true diversity in army builds, and so there are many different units I have not even tried. I would like to know what units / unit combination have been proven successful for other players in either of these great games, so I'll have a chance to try them out next time :) I'm especially interested in success stories with creatures that appear only mildly useful on first glance.

Are there any ways to fix the disappearing flags bug in Assassin's Creed?

I've been playing Assassin's Creed and used a checklist to find all the flags in the game, but after I got done with the 100 items checking each one off, I ended up with credit for only 99. I talked to support (one happened to be a friend of a friend) that confirmed the bug. Has anyone found a workaround?

Where is my End Portal?

I'm working towards beating the Ender Dragon on hardcore vanilla Minecraft. I've gotten myself all the way up to locating the stronghold, however the End Portal is nowhere to be seen. I had 10 Eyes of Ender, and used up all but one of them to find the exact coordinates of where the eye ends up: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QgAPH.png) This is where the eye floats to when you're near the portal, meaning it triangulates on the Y axis as well. Thinking that it has to be nearby, I exploded a small stack of TNT to open the place up a bit: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cqUYv.png) It floats in the exact same spot, but there's still no portal nearby. It does not matter if I'm above or below that spot, it always floats to that exact location. Looking at the wiki, it says the PC version of Minecraft Eyes of Ender go to the exact coordinates of the End Portal, however I've dug all the way down to bedrock without any luck. I seem to have exhausted all methods to locate the End Portal here. Is there a way I can still salvage this game without having to resort to cheating? Edit: Here's my coordinates and seed as requested. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QQz7J.png)


Origin games on Amazon PC Download service

If I buy an Origin activated game on Amazon's PC Download (i.e. _not_ key from „PC Instant Access”), what would I actually get? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/O5eh7.png) According to generic Amazon's page describing „Games Library”, I would need their downloader software. On the game page for „PC Download” option they specify 3 KB ( _sic!_ ) of download. Is that really the case, or would I actually just directly get Origin code?


Breaking out of ice?

When your character gets frozen, is there anything you can do to break out faster? I read that you should move the analog stick in a specific way, for example in a thread on pso-world.com: > One of the little tricks from PSO was that when you were frozen, if you > wiggled the analogue stick left to right to left to right (etc.) repeatedly > you broke out quicker. **Does this really work?** If yes, does it also work when catched by Vol Opt’s "green orb" or any other similar effect? And when playing with a keyboard (PSO Blue Burst), would I just have to press `←` `→` `←` `→` `←` …?


How much gold and elixir can be stolen when raiding other players?

What effect does increasing the magic skills have?

For all the magic schools, the skill description only mentions that the skill makes it easier to cast those spells. You also need a certain amount of skill to get the perks associated with that skill. Aside from unlocking perks, what effects does increasing your skill in Destruction, Alteration, Conjuration, Illusion and Restoration have? Does it increase the damage of destruction spells, for example?


Safely harvesting water from the caverns?

I just began my first glacial embark, and realizing that I have no water is proving to be a challenge for my crops. I was able to breach the first cavern and wall it off, then I was able to dig to an area adjacent to the cavern lake. Now I want to harvest this water from the lake to build a dependable water source for my fort. I'm going to be using a water source that is connected to edge tiles to ensure that I have an unlimited source of water. This makes it free game for Forgotten Beasts to spawn. So I need to make some way to pump water where FB's can't break down my stuff. Now first, are there such things as creatures that could swim under water? If I build in such a way:               ~~~~~~~~~~ <- lake     ####~##############     ####~#Screw> ÷÷~~~~ -> To rest of fortress          ####~##Pump#~######     ####~#######~######     ###~~~~~~~~~~######     ###################      Would my pump stack still be in danger of being broken?


Pile of Bones - What are they? Where come from?

I've seen on some forums people saying the bones you find on the middle of the dungeon are/were actual players. But I don't even play with internet on and still find bones (and some very bad geared). So what are they? Random stuff or people like those souls in Demon Souls? Looks a lot more like random generated, there are some wizards with no spells at all, so weird. Also I've read somewhere I don't remember to take care because hacked bones could corrupt my save file. Hacked? Eh? PSVita can't be hacked yet (just the PSP emulator inside) so is there any truth in that?


Does the PS4 or Xbox One need an internet connection to work?

My friend does not have the internet. They will not have the internet under any circumstances, but they want to buy a new console now that the Xbox 360 is obsolete. We have both heard that both the PS4 and Xbox One REQUIRE connection to work at all by downloading some patch first. That isn't an option for me (and no they wont bring it here I already asked and they refused with the words "I don't go near the net ever except if forced to at work"). Will either console just work out of the box? Whichever she gets isn't ever going to be updated unless the discs of games do so. Its never going to be online, she isnt interested in online gaming at all, doesn't have an internet, or even email. She won't even have a smartphone or MP3 player.

How do I split a weapon in Final Fantasy 2 (aka Final Fantasy IV) for SNES?

Nostalgia has hit me, and I have dusted off my old Super Nintendo which luckily still works, and popped in my Final Fantasy II cartridge which also still works! I remember as a kid, there was a way to split a weapon by doing something with it in your inventory during a battle, then running away. It allowed you to create an infinite number of copies, even for weapons that were "unique" in the world, such as the crystal sword, or Edge's Masamune. This was a cheap way to get some gold by selling duplicate copies of powerful weapons. It was also very useful in providing Edge the Ninja with an unlimited supply of very powerful throwing weapons. **Does anyone remember this trick and how to do it on the SNES version of Final Fantasy II?** Keep in mind, this would have been technically Final Fantasy IV in Japan, but was released at the time as FFII in the U.S. as it was the 2nd U.S. release in the series.


How can I solo Razorgore the Untamed?

Now that I'm level 90, I'd like to solo all of the classic raid instances. Molten Core was easy, but I'm having trouble getting started in Blackwing Lair. The first boss—Razorgore the Untamed—is set up in a way that prevents zerging: if you try to kill him before all the eggs in the room are destroyed, it's an instant wipe. At the same time, there are endless waves of adds that are attempting to kill him. With at least two people, the strategy is easy: one person controls Razorgore to break the eggs, while another person (or people) collects the adds so Razorgore stays up. But is there a way to do this solo?

Blur crashes on Tokyo Shutoko loading screen under Win XP

So far Blur worked fine for me under Windows XP (SP3 32-bit), I managed to beat first boss and start chapter 2. However, just after trying to race on one of the Tokyo Shutoko tracks (presumably Wangan-sen), the game crashes to desktop just after few seconds of loading screen. I applied some automatic online patches to bring it up to date, tried several different vehicles and various GFX options details, to no avail. I have Core2Duo, GTS 450 and 2 GB of RAM. Just note it is a non-Steam version of the game (retail). Is there any known issue with Tokyo tracks in Blur? Is there any possible fixes to such problems?


Draugr Wight Lord disarmed me, can't find my weapon

So I was fighting the Draugr Wight Lord at Silverdrift Lair, and he used the Disarm shout on me and made me drop my Elven Bow. I didn't notice at the time because I switched to a sword right after that, but now that the fight is over I've searched all over the Word room and can't find my bow. Am I screwed? I thought Disarm was supposed to just disarm you, not make your weapon disappear.


All the contents of my shelter exploded, killing me and leaving my shelter virtually unscathed. How could this happen?

I finally gave in to my curiosity this weekend and bought Minecraft 1.1. I had largely avoided learning _too_ much about it because I wanted to play through it myself and discover things without the help of guides and FAQs. However, I had a very disturbing situation happen last night. I am reluctant to look through any FAQs to hunt down an explanation because I may come across too many spoilers, so if someone could give me a direct explanation without much spoilerage I'd appreciate it. ## My shelter: To start, here was what the main part of my shelter looked like: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xVwsM.png) The shelter was constructed of native (i.e. un-mined) stone and cobblestone. I had one 1-block chest and two 2-block chests with signs above them, a furnace/oven, a crafting bench, a couple torches, and a step up to a doorway leading outside. The top right chest contained various stone and iron material, along with coal, flint, charcoal, and gunpowder. The top left chest contained wood and glass material. The smaller bottom left chest contained tools, armor, and assorted bits. Not sure if it matters, but the floor of my shelter was actually the ceiling of an overhanging cliff that was around 40 blocks high off the ground. ## The incident: I had _just_ finished remodeling my shelter, having just filled my new chests and placed the signs above them to help me remember what I put in them. I was in the process of crafting some new iron objects at my bench when **BLAM!!!** There was an explosion, my screen went red, and my precious treasures went flying. Unfortunately, I didn't have my sound on (since my wife was sleeping on the couch) and don't know if there was any noise going on beforehand to warn me of the impending disaster. Luckily, my respawn point was close, and I managed to frantically make my way back. To my surprise, it appeared that nearly all my objects were still there. Most were sitting in the same spot that their chest was in. As best I can tell, I was able to recover nearly everything, with the exception of the signs and 2 of the 5 chest blocks. Oddly, the door and torches _outside_ were gone, but the structure itself was untouched save for two holes in the floor (marked "Gone" in the above picture). ## What happened? I'm baffled by what could have happened. I can't imagine a creeper snuck up on me, since at the time there was no way in (I took away the bricks leading up to the door). I've tangled with them before and their explosions have never outright killed me, just wounded me. They also tend to leave big craters, and there seemed to be too little structural damage in this case. The only explanation I can come up with is that I organized my possessions **badly**. Should furnaces not be placed next to chests containing combustibles? Should certain materials not be stored together in the same chest, like flint and gunpowder?


Which enemies are not consumed by the protozoid slimes, given the chance, in Duke Nukem 3D

The slimes that slither out of the eggs in Duke Nukem 3D do not play nice with the other enemies. Despite there often being guards around egg clusters, if the eggs hatches and you leave the area and let them have some time with each other, only the slimes will remain after a short time. This behavior is one tactic to ensure enemies do no return in the highest difficulty setting of the game. However, it appears that not every enemy is susceptible to spontaneous liquidation. Octabrains seems to avoid this grizzly fate but who else? Which enemies cannot be eaten by slimes?


Does the other person know that you have blocked them in xbox live?

Is there a fix for the endless "Scanning for Steam games updates."?

On trying to fire up any game in Steam, or Activate a Product on Steam, a popup will display stating "Scanning for Steam games updates.", and just sit there. It never does anything, and only offers a Cancel button (which sometimes is even disabled), which doesn't allow me to start the game from Steam. I assume it's never going to stop, it's been going for minutes, so, is there a way around this, a way to fix this, or a way to disable this scan? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/d84BB.png)

Icebourn Gauntlet + Black Cleaver

If one would buy Icebourn Gauntlet and Black Cleaver, would everyone's armor get reduced that got hit by the Black Cleaver? I know it works for the Spirit of the Elder Lizard because there is a clear particle animation. I basically want to know this for Ezreal, but I guess it goes for every champion.


What does each character specialize in?

I know that whatever job you have does not affect stat growth, so clearly each character has some specific base stat distribution and innate strengths and weaknesses. So, which characters do best in which classes? For example, does Tiz do better as an AGI-focused class compared to, say, Edea or Agnes? Or do the characters all have the same stat distribution and growth and Black Mage Agnes would do the same damage as Black Mage Ringabel given all things equal.


How does this barbarian build generate fury?

http://diablo.somepage.com/popular/barbarian#builds Active Skills:   * Hammer of the Ancients - Smash   * Overpower - Killing Spree   * Wrath of the Berserker - Thrive on Chaos   * Whirlwind - Hurricane   * Battle Rage - Into the Fray   * Sprint - Run Like the Wind Passive Skills:   * Bloodthirst   * Weapons Master   * Ruthless None of those are fury generating skills. So how does the barb generate fury?


How does something get its name?

In Diablo you have all sorts of names for items and monsters. Note that I only play the german version of the game but I think it's kind of the same in english. I often see items like "Schärpe des Bären" which would roughly translate to "Belt of the bear". Now all Items I found that had a "bear" in their name had vitality as a stat. But sometimes you find Items that don't fit into a certain pattern. Are these names completely random or are they fixed. Also when it comes to monster names I often see something like "BlahBlah the destroyer". When it comes to weapons the first part is usually the name of the weapon (except for those special cases i mentioned) but what determines both the "BlahBlah" and the "Destroyer" in a case like this (Random golden elite monsters). I just can't find a pattern here.

Are there replays of bad (new) players with commentary?

I know, sounds dumb, but bear with me a sec. People here have posted links to tons of high-level replays with commentary. (Thanks.) They're awesome fun, and I can learn a little. But since I'm a low-level player, it's a lot like watching Iron Chef: experts way above my current skill/understanding level duke it out, while expert commentators point out strategy errors so subtle that I often don't even understand why they're errors. Are there commentary replays of low-to-mid level matches? Tutorials like SC2 Noob School and Shokz are great, but they're not the same as watching a real match. And while it wouldn't be as sexy a gig for the commentators, it'd be a great teaching tool: watching 1,000 things go wrong, and having an expert point out which are most common, and which are most important to fix.

In Empire Earth 2 the AI (and most players) invest heavily in nuke bombers if allowed to get to that tech era. Not just one bomber either, 3-10 nuke bombers. How can I effectively deal with the bombers? Are there any unique structures that will help?


How to raise and maintain happiness levels without shutting down the economy?

I'm playing Towns and I've _finally_ gotten to the point where I have a decent amount of resources to build stuff with as well as a running food/meat economy to keep everyone fed. Unfortunately, in getting _to_ this point several of my original Townies got themselves killed through sheer idiocy. According to the wiki, getting more migrants requires both rooms (which I've got) and a decent happiness level. However, even after planting multiple decorations in each room the average happiness rarely rises above 20 (recently fed and just woken up) and plummets back to zero when they start working. Idling increases happiness, but that'd require shutting down my entire economy _and_ disabling or destroying all stockpiles since "haul" is an automatic job that can't be shut down as long as there is a viable stockpile or container and something that can be hauled to one. I'd _really_ prefer not having to do that every time I need to attract more people. Any suggestions?


Does any GTA game feature another GTA title as a mini game?

Are there any mini games inside any of the Grand Theft Auto games that is essentially a mini version of an older GTA title?

How do you build pentagrams?

I have just downloaded the demo of Dungeons and am on the level where you first capture a pentagram and then have to kill heros to get soul power. It then asks me to extend my area of influence by building pentagrams, but I have no idea how. I cannot find an icon or keyboard shortcut or anything on how to build a pentagram. I hope I dont just have to capture pentagrams because I cannot find any others on the map either... Anyone know how to do this?


How can I get lots of Torgue Tokens?

Best I can tell the slot machines are a poor way to get Torgue Tokens due to the high cost and infrequent payouts. Normal enemies rarely drop them. There's some re-doable quests (I think they give torgue tokens anyway) and the super boss Pyro Pete also gives them I believe. Bottom line, I want some of those Legendary Torgue guns in the Torgue Token vending machine. **How can I get Torgue Tokens in the most efficient manner?** I'm level 50 so beating Pyro Pete the Invincible is possible but...hard. If he drops them in Playthrough 1 I'm wondering if that's a better idea; I hear he's easier in playthrough 1 but I'm not sure he still drops (as many) Torgue Tokens.

Can the tower in Hounds Pit be climbed?

In the Hounds Pit area there is a tower that also serves as Lady Emily's room. When I look up in that room, there are some floorboards that you can peek through. Also the floorboards are unbreakable. It looks like there is a room above Emily's room, but I can't get up there. There seems to be an open window that leads into the room, but it's so far up that I can't reach it with Blink. Is there a way to enter that room?


Are Dota Teams very well Balanced?

Peers often tell me that Dota is more about skill of the player, and not really on the heroes themselves. This talk happened after the epic win of Alliance versus Na'Vi, with me agreeing that Na'Vi had the better lineup in terms of hero strength. One thing I didn't consider was that the Alliance lineup can travel all over the map REALLY well. I am skeptic though. Is it safe to say, that any dota hero lineup can win against any other hero lineup fairly? for example, a team picks a lineup of Chen, prophet, ezalor, wisp, slayer and rylai. Does that team have a fair chance of winning against Doom, Magina, Sven, Treant, Warlock ( much more rounded team in my opinion)? Assuming all teams are incredibly skilled at each hero, are the both teams of heroes evenly matched? Can I have an example of a dota 2 lineup that can NEVER win, or a lineup that's a GUARANTEED win?

Respawn system in Call of Duty United Offensive (CoD: UO)

Me and my friends have been playing Call of Duty United Offensive online for quite a while now. We really like the headquarters mode, but can really figure out how the respawning system works. There are 2 things we're wondering about: a) When do you get respawned? I know that there are rounds that last 45 seconds. When that passes everyone who's dead gets respawned. But sometimes some players are respawned before that time passes. What I don't get is when that happens. Sometimes it seems like if you die in the first few seconds of the round you get immediately respawned. Sometimes that's not the case. b) Location of the respawn. The only thing about the location of the respawn I've been able to deduct is that if the radio is you'll get respawned close to it if that's your teams' radio otherwise you'll be respawned on the other side of the map. And even that isn't true all the time. But other times people get respawned next to opponent's radio. Can someone help me clear this confusion up? Me and my mates would really appreciate it.


Order of Mirror Entity and Mind Control Tech Effect Resolutions

Example: Player 1 has a Mirror Entity in play (Secret: When your opponent plays a minion, summon a copy of it). He also has 3 minions on the board. Player 2 starts his turn with no minions and plays a Mind Control Tech (Battlecry: If your opponent has 4 or more minions, take control of one at random). What happens? Extra credit: what happens if Player 2 started with 3 minions before playing his Mind Control Tech? Just trying to wrap my head around the mechanics. Thanks. * * * Edit: this is different from the How is effect precedence determined link because the accepted answer on that question is not relevant to Secrets and does not go into detail on their usage. In that answer, quote: "According to Lead Designer Eric Dodds, events such as Deathrattles that are triggered simultaneously will occur in the order in which the related cards were played.". Secrets don't enter the stack when they were played, but rather _as they are triggered_ which is a subtle but important point to this question (and something I learned through the accepted answer on here and some of the commentary from Waterseas).


How do I eat a ring?

I have seen some vague references to eating rings as a means of permanently gaining their power. I initially assumed this involved using _Stone-to-Flesh_ to turn a stone ring into a meat ring. However, the wiki article makes it sound like meat rings are worthless (except as pet treats). **So, how do you eat a ring and gain its power? Can this be done with any ring? Does this also confer any disadvantages (such as the ring's nutrition loss effect)?**


How do you perform fatalities that involve the use of jumping (up arrow)?

Say I want to make **Freddy Krueger** 's fatality, which is called **Welcome To My Nightmare** > down, up, left, right + block When I finish pressing the buttons, it didn't do the thing, since I'm already in the air when I press **up** and fatalities must be done on the ground. I have no problem when the jump is right at the end of the combo, since it's the last directional button I have to press plus any "hitting/block" button. But I always considered fatalities that involves the up button, the ones which are not at the end of the combo, as the impossible ones... unless there's a trick for them. Does someone know?


Starcraft 2 2vs2 unit synergy

What early unit combinations (specific build orders if possible) have the strong proven synergy in 2vs2 and why? What 2vs2 strategies do pro's use and why? We are looking for an easily executable strategy that we can begin to win games with and build on top of. An ideal strategy would be simple to execute and require fairly low APM. Thanks

Must party members be present for coop achievements?

If all other party members are _in town, in another zone, or dead_ during an event OR boss battle (one that awards a "cooperative achievement"), will the event/boss battle still award the coop achievement for the whole party? For example, the other party member in a two-person party stays in town during [an event]—does he still get the achievement, and do both get the cooperative achievement even though the other party member wasn't present? Or everyone declines a boss battle while one person finishes it—do all party members get the achievement AND the coop achievement?


How can I identify forged paintings?

I've heard rumors online that you can identify forged paintings in Animal Crossing: New Leaf before purchasing them from Redd's Gallery. I've noticed that Redd sells more than one painting when he visits now, and I would like to avoid purchasing a forgery. So how can I spot a fake? Is it the same for each painting, or is each one unique?

Save a Custom Deck

I've been playing the secret world in a casual manner for quite a while but I never thought to explore the "Decks" feature until the previous weekend, up until that point I simply chose whichever actives and passives I thought looked interesting or useful; the result of which is illustrated in the following screenshot. ![My Deck](http://i.imgur.com/Nawl4qW.jpg) I have two other characters and I have managed to try out two of the starter decks on those, and by coincidence my first (I suppose main) character happens to have the abilities required for the "Polariser" starter deck. In the screenshot there is a button in the bottom left labeled "Equip Deck" this button will take all the active and passive abilities for that deck and assign them to my character. I haven't pressed it for this character as yet, because I first want to find out if there is a way to save my ability choices so that I can re assign them later. So my question is, how can I save a custom deck? **Equipped Actives**   Ignition   Forking Paths   Balanced Blade   Fire Manifestation   Thor's Hammer   Surging Blades   Molten Earth **Equipped Passives**   Elemental Force   Delicate Precision   Hothead   Expose Weakness   Toxic Earth   Sharp Blades   Enervate


How Do You Spawn Uber Tristram In Diablo 2?

Maximizing item value runs

I've started gambling items in order to get better gear. As expected, this is a very expensive endeavour, and I run out of gold in short order. To this end, I am attempting to maximize my playing so I pick up the items that are worth the most. I am aware that items that improve class skills, such as wands, orbs, and scepters, are worth a lot of gold when vendored. I also pick up all magic items as well. The problem is, many magic items only sell for 200-300 gold, while taking up a lot of space in my inventory. I have attempted to search for a list that shows how affixes modify the base item value, but all my searches just bring up websites offering to sell me items for real cash. So, my question is two-fold: does anyone have any tips on how to bring back only the most valuable items, magical or otherwise? And does anyone have a list of how affixes modify the base price?


Does the Monk passive skill "Resolve" stack with multiple Monks applying it?

If you have 2 monks in your party, and they both have the passive "Resolve" ability which decreases enemy damage by 25% for 2.5 seconds when you inflict any damage, if they both hit the same enemy **will the Resolve effect stack and cause additional damage reduction?** If it does stack, **is the effect truly additive, causing a 50% reduction?** Enemy Damage * (.25 + .25) = Damage to Player **Or is it multiplicative, causing less than a 50% reduction?** Enemy Damage * .75 * .75 = Damage to Player I wish the game were more clear on what abilities can stack, or we could somehow enable debuff status on a mob to see how things are being applied. For example, 2 monks with 2 of the same Mantra active will not stack, but with different mantras it will, and we know that because it appears in our status bar. But 2 monks using exploding palm on a mob can stack the effects, yet there is no way to know that without a little testing. A status bar for mobs would be an immense help.


Is getting Par on Mighty Switch Force levels important?

I am playing Mighty Switch Force, and so far I haven't gotten Par time on any of the levels. Is it important at all? Does getting Par unlock anything? Should I go back and try until I get it?


Unable to basic attack in Skyrim

I play on 360 (no Xbox live or Internet connection for now) and have all the DLC available. Just recently I've lost the ability to basic attack. If I have a spell I can charge it. If I have a bow I can draw an arrow and hold it. But if I have any weapon like a mace, sword, or axe, I can only power attack. Tapping the button does nothing. Holding it down results in a power attack as per usual. I have no idea why this is happening. I was in raven rock and it just seemed to happen after reaching level 177. How could I fix this? Edit: I have tried two controllers and messing with the key bindings. Nothing worked.

How to make an Enderman proof mob trap?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What's the best way to protect your house from Enderman stealing your > walls? Although I haven't yet had anything serious happen to my mob trap, with 1.8's release I'm worried that an Enderman might spawn inside my trap and move a block to completely destroy the trap's effectiveness or worse, release the mobs out of the trap into my house! Is there any guaranteed way to prevent this, or do I just have to hope for the best and be prepared to play damage control?

FlatOut bonus races: what is the best angle to throw the driver?

FlatOut racing game has a few bonus races that include activities like _long jump_ , _high jump_ , _darts_ , _bowling_... In such activities, the player must drive the car, then hold and release the nitro button. This will throw the car driver out of the window. While the button is held, the nitro meter (which will work as "angle meter") gets filled. How long the button is held determines the angle of the throw. ![A screenshot of the green angle meter](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xag5l.jpg) The question is: **what is the best meter position in order to throw the driver?** Is the best angle the one when the meter is 100% filled, or is it when it's half-way? By "best angle" I mean "the one that will throw the driver as higher and as further as possible", in order to win the _long jump_ and _high jump_ bonus races. I'm playing on PC, but the game was also available on PlayStation and Xbox.


When does a resource node drop off some profit?

As I am playing as a commander sometimes I always ask myself this question: Where is the point, when a resource node starts to create profit? When does it actually makes sense to build a mineral node, when I know it is not in a safe area? A resource node costs 10 resources. I have no idea how long it takes to generate +1 mineral, I suppose something like 30secs. So if I would know all parameters I would be able to calculate how long it takes for the resource node to actually drop off some profit and if the risk is worth it. How do other commanders decide situations like this?


How long does it take for a simolean gift to arrive?

I'm playing two cities in a private region. One is doing well. The other, well, not so much... In an attempt to restore some balance, I decided to send 30k to the less fortunate city via the region-based "gift" feature. The money left my good city almost immediately, but hasn't yet (1hr30 real time) arrived. I've tried leaving the game and opening it again, but all I seemed to be able to trigger was a "Your gift has been sent" notification. How long do gifts take to arrive? Is there a secret trick for speeding up the process?

Is there any logic to determine what "types" of item a player can see? Is it according to his or her class? (e.g. a Barbarian won't see Witch Doctor drops?)


Why do higher level players move between each attack?

I always see players move between every attack, even if they are attacking a stationary target (for instance a tower) and there is no theat close that would make their current position worth changing? I think this practice is called "kiting". So why are they doing this, is there any advantage to modifying your position between every attack?


What's the "Super feature"?

I just bought Thief for PS4 and installed the first update. Curious about what the first update includes, this is what I saw **1** : > Following features are added:   >  - Super feature   >  - Bug fixes   >  - Make sure to visit > https://ps4.scedev.net/docs/ps4-en,Content_Information-Specifications- > orbis,Update_Information/1 The link is dead, but I'm more interested in this so-called " _super feature_ "; what is it? All I can find online is a mention of an update for the PC version, and a 6 GB update for the Xbox One **2**. * * * **1** : Press the `OPTIONS` button and select " _Update History_ " to view a game's update history.   **2** : Pretty sure I didn't download such a huge patch on my PS4; not when it only took 3 seconds.

What might be ruining my mob grinder on the craftgasm server?

Ok so I have built a pretty typical mob grinder. (4 8x8 spawning pads with a "+" shaped water funneling system three vertical floors of that config water only at the bottom.) So as I said pretty typical, and functioning, I built a replica in creative with ideal everything. The thing churns 'em out like you would expect. My question, I built this thing in my factions territory on the craftgasm server. At almost the sky limit. (To cut out the "underground caverns" kryptonite) and spits out mobs at a painfully slow pace. Like slower than what I would expect based off of the vanilla minecraft creative tests. (Even giving it a time handicap, the thing isn't working) The testing led me to think it was bats. I go up to check, no bats even. I have checked my distance from the spawner, that's not it. Maybe the server is doing something? Maybe it is set up to prevent hostile mobs from spawning in your territory? Not sure. I put it to you, kind users of the Internet. What are your thoughts?

GTA IV lag on powerful laptop

Are any of the eligible bachelorettes Bards?

Call me odd, but I've come to enjoy the occasional encounters with female bards in certain bars around Skyrim. Something about their songs just seems to add a bit of coziness to the environment. I'm aware that you can be married in Skyrim (I already have an Amulet of Mara), but only to a certain sub-set of the single women in the world. Are any of these eligible bachelorettes Bards? If so:   * Which ones?    * If I marry one and ask her to move in with me, will she sing and play her songs in my house?

How much destruction can I cause to a building?

When playing Battlefield 3, I've noticed that unlike many other shooters, I can actually damage buildings and other forms of cover. This is an interesting game mechanic, but I'm curious about its limits. Is there a maximum amount of damage that I can do to a given structure? Can I cause it to collapse completely? Are there only certain structures that can be damaged? Beyond just blindly firing explosive weapons into a building, how do I tell if I can or can't do (additional) damage to a building?


Which maps are different in the console version of the game?

I'm primarily a console gamer, so I don't tend to follow the PC versions of games I plan to play on consoles. I know that there is a much lower limit to the number of players that can be in the same game on the console versions of BF3 versus the PC version. However, I've also been informed that some of the maps have been scaled down in size (or perhaps changed completely?) from the PC version on account of the lower number of players possible. Which maps were changed, and how are they different in the PC version? Do Console players just have "invisible walls" on a much larger map? Are they completely different maps of different size with the same name? Or did console players get a completely different set of maps to replace the 64x64 maps on PC?


Is there a formula for Golems' state growth?

Golems are a huge part of EA, but after using one for so long, I find its stats are so much higher than the ones I haven't used, it would be silly to switch. Especially when you haven't even synth'd the golem yet. What I want to know is if anyone has a guide or **formula for determining stat growth for golems** (due to level up) or if it is just random? This would help me determine if leveling up a new golem would be worth it, if it has a greater stat growth and similar role (defensive, offensive, etc.) then I could swap it in knowing long term there would be an advantage. I looked at this guide: Golem Guide from Gamefaqs, but it doesn't mention any of this, just has base stats.


How to use the 'Ancient Device' in the Desolate Sands?

I have found the 'Ancient Device' spawn in the Desolate Sands area, and talked to the guy who was afraid to use it. He ran off, and I searched his brother's body and bag and found some gold and a journal. How do I use the device though? I might have clicked on the pedestal on accident, because some floating orb or something appeared to be there. After that I couldn't do anything with it. I left the plateau for a second, and came back and the orb appeared to be gone and I still couldn't use the device. It seems like I ought to be able to use it to teleport somewhere. Am I missing something? Or do I just need to reload and try again?

What is a contested waypoint?

I traveled to a waypoint, and died soon after. When I tried to respawn at that same waypoint it wouldn't let me and I saw it was "contested" showing a pair of crossed swords on the icon.

EDIT: The constested status went away, and the waypoint started working again, but I don't understand why


How often do health globes spawn?

The barbarian passive, "Pound of Flesh" increases the chance of finding a health globe by 25%. What are the mechanics of health globes spawns? Does each monster have a chance to spawn a health globe (which Pound of Flesh increases) or is it based on some other mechanic? I'm curious to see often I would see the benefit of changing my passive.

How do burnouts work?

In _Saints Row, The Third_ , I can't figure out how points for burnouts work and how you can earn maximum respect from them. To get one started, you hold your brake and accelerator in the car. Even then though sometimes the game doesn't award anything for a burnout. It doesn't even seem consistent how it starts awarding points for it. At one point I thought the #/12 counter meant that if you did one for 12 seconds, you would get maximum respect, but that's not the case. I've also tried doing 12 doughnuts thinking that was maybe it. The most points I've ever been awarded is around 5 of 12 or 6 of 12, but nothing higher. Is there a way to earn all 12 of 12 possible points?


How do I transfer gold between factions?

I've got a character on Horde and now a brand new one on Alliance (same realm). Problem is that the Alliance-side economy doesn't seem to be as lucrative at lower levels as its Horde-side equivalents. Now that Blizzard has apparently cut off bidding on your own items from the same account, is there any way that I can transfer gold between the two characters without using two different accounts or someone else as an intermediary?


How do I solve the zol sliding puzzle?

On floor 4F in the Passaj Mountain Climb, there is a sliding puzzle. You have two large blocks of zol, and you need to slide each one into a slot on one side of the room. I have tried this over and over and over, and I keep getting stuck. How do I solve this puzzle?


How do I add start menu items to a Steam game after the installation?

I've noticed that Steam gives me the option of creating a desktop shortcut and start menu items at the end of an installation. I always say no thanks to both because I like starting my games from Steam. But recently I've grown fond of just pressing the windows key and writing the name of the application I want to run, so I'd like to add start menu items to my Steam games. But how do I do that after the game is already installed? I can only find an option for creating a desktop shortcut, which is not what I'm after.

How are "Great!" rating streaks tracked for "Clock Stopper"?

The _Clock Stopper_ achievement/trophy requires getting 100 consecutive "Great!" ratings on the Mog Clock. I've been grinding this out, but after 50 of them, I missed one. Can I just reload an earlier save and pick up from there? Or is the streak counter tracked across all saves (i.e., I'm starting at 0 again no matter what I do)?


What determines the success of Axii / Persuasion / Intimidate?

Sometimes in dialog of The Witcher 2, Geralt gets the option to try to alter the course of the conversation with persuasion, intimidate, or the axii sign. In practice, I've had intimidation fail to work, so I'm curious as to how the chance of success is determined in the first place. Is it related to the level of the abilities gained via use of the related mechanic? E.g., Axii Sign Hex increases when you use the Axii Sign to resolve a conversation.


In what order should I hack / power up an unclaimed portal?

I've recently found some un-trafficked areas with unclaimed portals, and was able to capture them at my leisure. However it occurred to me while I was doing so that I didn't know in what order to go about capturing them to best advantage. Because they were off the beaten track, I was particularly concerned about receiving keys while I was there. Baring considerations such as time and disturbances from the other faction, would it be more advantages four me to have:   * Hack the portal a couple times first, then claim it by placing resonators.   * Claim the portal with at least one resonator, hack it, and go back and forth.   * Claim the portal and fully power it up before hacking the first time.   * Claim all the portals in the area, fully power them up and establish any possible links before hacking the first time. When initially claiming a portal, are there any strategies to have a better chance of walking away with keys when you're done?


Highest possible FPS configuration for CS:GO

I come from a CS 1.6 background and primarily play that. I've just recently acquired CS:GO and I enjoy it somewhat but would like to know what config commands I can apply to squeeze as much FPS out of the game that I can. I don't care how it looks; In fact, I'd actually like it looking much ... simpler. As for more info, I currently play on my laptop which has a less than par ATI Mobility Radeon HD 45xx GPU. My aim is only for a solid as possible 60 fps but in firefights it tends to dip down to the 40s and sometimes 30s. I've even noticed some actual GPU Load (~95%) which never happened with CS 1.6 at all. In addition, I've already went into the advanced video settings and set everything to low and my resolution to 640. Thank you.


Shaking Off Players

When my attacker gets the ball (let's say Real Madrid's Benzema) and there is a defender on him, I can never shake off the defender, and I always lose the ball. When the situation is reversed and I'm the defender against Benzema, the opponent seems to shake my defender off pretty well and continue to score. I haven't been able to figure out what's the pressure button or if there is a technique to apply pressure to shake other players off and keep the ball. I lose many many balls this way and no need saying this is hurting my score badly. Any help is appreciated ! P.S: This probably doesn't matter, but I'm playing on the PS4.


Is there any benefit to pre-purchasing Heart of the Swarm?

Recently, I received an email from Blizzard offering me to pre-purchase Heart of the Swarm expansion to StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Is there any benefit to pre-purchasing as opposed to buying it after it's released?


Can I abandon my own faction in M&B: Warband? (PoP 3)

I've founded a new kingdom and realised there are still things I want to do before starting a big campaign - I can't for now help claimants or join somebody as mercenary. But i don't see there any "leave kingdom" button nor any other way :(. If I just lose all my fiefs, faction still exists. I'm playing Prophesy of Pendor 3, but I'm not sure if there's any difference.


Do elemental weapons like the Burning Blade use the familiar's magic damage stat or physical damage?

Take this weapon for example: Burning Blade. It esssentially converts physical damage into fire damage, so it suffers the same setback as a fire spell when the target is fire resistant. However, my question is, does it use the familiar's magic damage stat? If it does, then I have to reconsider equipping it on my mitey.


How do I receive the letter from the Jarl's Stewart in Hearthfire?

I just bought the Hearthfire DLC and as soon as I travel somewhere, a courier approaches me and says he has 2 letters for me. One from the orphanage and one from the Jarl's stewart. The problem is that I only receive the first letter. This is what my inventory looks like after speaking to the courier. In case you can't read the book's titles on the screenshot, they are _Breezehome Furnishings_ , _Consider Adoption_ and _Gallus's encoded journal_. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BSsp1.jpg) As you can see I removed all my letters and notes that where not quest items before speaking to him. Is this a bug or am I missing something here?


Shooting down or capturing AI transporters

Is there any way to capture AI transporters (like Argon/Boron Food/Weapons/etc Transporters) roaming through the sectors ? When I shoot them down to near destruction and communicate with them to surrender their ships, they reply with something like "OK don't shoot, just take the ship" but nothing happens. Also when I completely destroy them, there is absolutely nothing left in the debris. For instance, before attacking them I scan their cargo and there was a humongous amount of Food, but not a single one floating in space afterwards. Is there any way to effectively looting/plundering/capturing them, or are they completely decorative ?


How do you set the smaller grid mode by default?

In League of Legends, there are two modes for looking at items in the shop. A descriptive mode that tells you information about each item, and a more minimal mode that just shows the items. I have no problem switching between the two, but I can't set the minimal mode as the default mode. Every time I start the game, it always sets the larger list mode. It didn't used to do this, however. It only changed after I altered the setting in the file game.cfg. I repaired the client and changed the game.cfg to its original settings, but it still hasn't fixed the problem. Short of just installing the game again, does anyone know hot to make the minimal mode as the default setting?

Minecraft hungergames server spawn points

I made a hunger games server a while ago and I need help setting spawn points in my arena. I want to use the same arena for ever single game. In the first arena I used world edit and set the points and created arena 1 and I set the spawn points `sg setlobbyspawn next` and it worked and set all of the 24 spawn points. In the second arena i used world edit once again and created the arena and when i try to set the spawn points, it sets an extra spawn point for my first arena not the second one.


Are some hacking timelines more advantageous than others?

When hacking a portal and total time on scene is not the first concern, is there a strategy for timing hacks to receive better/more items or extend the life of the portal? Does hacking it 3 times back-to-back as fast as it cools off work better, or would giving it 10 or 15 minutes between hacks let you get more goods if you had an hour or so to stay at it? Also, does leaving the scene and returning later have a different effect than staying in range for the same period of time between hacks?


Can you drop and reacquire the Hanar Diplomat quest?

I, along with others, went and did something else while in the middle of the Hanar Diplomat mission, and so can't access any of the relevant terminals and thus save the hanar from whatever naughtiness is being planned. Now, I hear that there is a Mass Effect 3 Gibbed save editor out now; is it worth downloading in order to uncheck the quest box (so to speak) and re- acquire the quest? Or are my hanar consigned to not knowing what their diplomat is doing before it is too late?


Where is the REPCONN research labs key?

In the "Come Fly With Me" quest chain, I just finished clearing the basement of nightkin and sent Harland away. After going back upstairs, I can't open the research labs door to talk to the ghoul Jason again because I don't have the key. Using the intercom only allows me to be told "stop messing around with the intercom". (Also, the lock is not pick-able.)


What determines when grenade pickups respawn in ME3 multiplayer?

About 30 minutes ago, I decided to try out frag grenades rather than concussive shot in multiplayer. (About 29 minutes ago was when I started kicking myself for not trying out grenades sooner). I noticed that you can refill your thermal clips pretty much anytime - the ammo crates restock themselves faster than an Ubercharged dispenser. Grenades, on the other hand, aren't always there for the taking; usually, I have to go kill some dudes first. **What determines when grenade pickups respawn? Time, kills, waves, or something else entirely?**

How can I play Avoid the Noid on Windows 7?

I have some pretty fond memories of a game called Avoid The Noid. It was some promotional thing from Dominos pizza and was actually a lot of fun. After I dug up my original disk and pulled the files from my USB floppy, I got this message when I tried to run it: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running." I tried compatability mode, but nothing worked. Any ideas?


When do city-states discover technology and resources?

I've gotten way ahead of the competition on the technology curve, and discovered that I don't have any access to aluminum. So I allied myself with a city-state that has aluminum ... but they aren't building a mine to access it. The same city-state has oil, and an extra work boat, but won't build an off- shore oil platform. (I've discovered the required tech for that as well.) When and how do city-states discover resources? Do they do their own independent scientific research? Discover tech automatically in specific years? When some number or percentage of players have the technology? Also, is it possible to help an allied city-state develop a resource they haven't discovered, by sending a worker to mine it for them, or a work boat to build an oil platform?


With a Flame Runner, do you turn, Drift, and turn the other way immediately to not turn so much?

With a Flame Runner, Mach Bike, and Bullet Bike, I found that they all turn too much, so they almost always run to the side of the road before the mini- turbo can come out. Somebody suggested initiating the turn early, is that the way to do it? Because earlier means turning too much early. A way I found that might work is to 1) Turn 2) press Drift 3) Turn THE OTHER WAY IMMEDIATELY. So the turning will be minimized. (bigger turning radius) Is this how it is done or any other way?


What's "Bonus Item" in Diablo 3?

Change alias / nickname / callsign for Steam friends

Some of my friends on Steam change nicknames so often I can hardly remember who's who. Is there any way I can set custom nicknames for friends in Steam? Best workaround I've got so far is using tags, but that's not what I'd like to do.


Is there any benefit to destroying all the spore and gestation pods?

How do I troubleshoot Cryostasis' abysmal performance?

Just installed Cryostasis from GamersGate. I tried playing it but I can barely move. I have set everything at low or off, including Physx. I have turned off and on hardware acceleration (is it better on?) and nothing. I once tried to set the vertex shader to 2.0 but the game would just start with a black screen (had to manually change the config file to get it starting). I have a more than decent system for the game. I bought it a year after it came out. I have 4 Gb of ram, a 9600GT M, Intel Cored 2 Duo with 2.13GHz and Windows 7 64. This should easily run the game even at higher settings. I updated the graphics driver. Has anyone gone through this? Thank you Edit, some clarifications: When I say that I can't walk I mean the camera turns very hard, it is lagging, skipping frames. I don't know how to see my fps count (should I install fraps?). I recently had the idea to turn the resolution down to 800x600. In this mode the game works fine even with higher settings. Still I would like to know what's going on.


How do I limit my FPS in StarCraft 2 for Mac?

I am trying to limit my FPS to 30 for Starcraft 2 on my MacBook Pro (after a while the machine heats up and the FPS drops) - I understand I need to add a few lines to the variables.txt file:               frameratecap=30     frameratecapGlue=30      My problem though is that **I cannot find the variables.txt file**! A few threads seem to indicate it should be under `Users/{username}/Documents/Blizzard/Starcraft II`, I found that path (username = shared) but no trace of variables.txt, so I went ahead and **created one** , but it has no effect on the fps (it is still shooting up to > 100). Any help appreciated!


What happened to the "7 days free" promotion in World of Warcraft?

Three days ago, I logged into my expired WoW account to see that they were offering me seven free days. Since I was just about to go on a three-day camping trip, I figured I'd claim those days after I returned, but when I logged in today, the offer was gone. What happened to that promotion? The original offer didn't mention a time limit. Did it just move somewhere else, or did it expire?


Is there any reason to repair items before they reach 0?

In KoA it seems like the most cost-effective method for repairing items is to wait until their condition reaches 0 and then use repair kits. Are there any drawbacks to this? For example, is the item less effective as it gets more damaged? Is it possible for items to be damaged beyond repair?

What effect does sludge have?

In the "slums" (the level with sludge covering the ground and with zombie-like humanoids), what effect does the sludge have? I know that it damages you when you touch it, but I have no idea what effect it has on the "lumes" (the name for the enemies in sanctum 2). It appears to give them damage buffs, and maybe defense buffs, and also appears to have an additional effects on the zombie- explorers. What is the exact nature if these buffs, if they even exist?


Pokemon status move information

_I recently asked a similar, but more broad/less thought-out question and it got put on hold. However, I think this one is more on topic._ In pokemon gen 1, how is the difference between how much status moves affect pokemon set up. for example: whats the difference between poisoning and badly poisoning a pokemon. or raising attack/sharply raising attack Also, how is it determined how long (how many turns) paralysis/sleep/etc last? finally are there any status' that have hidden effects? for example, I think I remember reading somewhere that your attack goes down while your burned.


How do you create double doors that open in sync from a 2-wide power source?

I've got a double door which I power from below, using a T-flip flop triggered by a pressure plate on the inside so that when I walk out, the doors open before me and when I walk in, the doors close behind me. It's a very good design for me, but, while powering the doors from below, I usually have to put one powered from off to the side instead of both from the inside. I found the design in my image, which is only 2 wide (I uncovered it, it would usually be covered), on this site, used for something else. However, the two doors are a half-step out of sync, i.e. with the repeaters in this position, one opens before the other, and if I delay the first one with one click on the repeater, the behavior is switched. In this configuration (the delays are equal), the left door always opens and closes a half-step earlier. How can I get the doors perfectly in sync? Here's a screenshot: ![Screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/3miNT.png)


What zoom level shows unclaimed portals?

In the ingress intel page, depending on the zoom level, a message on the right-hand side says "Showing L1-L8 Portals. Zoom in to see unclaimed Portals". My question is: is the zoom level in the map dynamically set between locations as to which portals and unclaimed portals to show? Or should the same level always show all claimed portals or all claimed and unclaimed portals?


How does this rapid pulser work?

While experimenting with redstone, I seem to have come across this strange piston-based circuit: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xv98k.png) Although it may not be obvious from the picture, this circuit causes the upper wire to rapidly turn on and off. There is also a block attached to the sticky piston. How does this work?


How can I tell if a hidden stash or an enemy is within my honor range?

There is a range within which discovering hidden stashes and attacking enemy camps will reward you honor points. This can easily be seen because the map around you is highlighted a light shade of red when you click on one of these stashes or camps. However, there are sometimes camps and stashes that fall on the border of this highlighted area. Some of the times I have gotten honor but other times I didn't. I assume the ones in which I got honor was far enough within the border that it counts as being inside the honor range. But other times it looks like it might be far in enough but then I don't get honor. Is there a definitive way to tell if you will get honor for a specific hidden stash or enemy camp?


Is it normal for PS3 controllers to constantly lose their charge?

I've noticed for quite a while now that all of my PS3 controllers lose their charge even if they are not being actively used (I have three, this almost always means that by the time the one I am currently using runs out of charge, the ones I pull out of the closet, which were fully charged when I put them in, have one bar of battery tops). I admit that most of my controllers are pretty old, but they are definitely not seeing an excessive amount of use by gamer standards. Is this unusual, or just the way PS3 controllers behave?


Are chests in your children's bedroom safe or do they respawn?

I just adopted a child in Skyrim, and they're staying in the second bedroom in Breezehome (your house in Whiterun). They left me a few items in the chest, but I'm wondering if it's possible for them to steal back (or randomly disappear) items that are left in that chest. In other words, is the chest in the second bedroom "safe" if I store items, or should I always store them upstairs, in the master bedroom?


Are there different fences giving different prices for loot in the city?

I just started playing Thief: Deadly Shadows. I'm now in the city for the first time. I'm wondering if there will be differences fences over the course of the game. Will they give different prices for my loot? Does it make sense to hold back on selling now, to get better prices later on? If not, is there any reason not to always use "sell all"?

As the title says, I am looking for an ability to add experience to the werewolf skill. I know that normally you can advance skill with the command               player.advskill <skillname> <amount>      However, this does not work when trying to advance the werewolf skill with               player.advskill werewolf 100      I also tried               player.advskill beastform 100      with no success.


How to get prior notification that your home is under attack with enemies that attack your home in Hearthfire?

I think if I was there I could have saved poor Rayya and my wife.


Framerate drop on the clock tower level?

Has anyone else run into a massive framerate drop for (what I think is) the clock tower level? It drops to about 1fps as soon as I enter the area. If I leave through the door I came in from, the framerate returns to normal, but tanks again as soon as I go back through. I restarted the game but it started lagging immediately upon loading the level. Opening the menus is still smooth, but as they animate away the framerate drops again. I made a video of it here: I have a 250 GB hard drive for my 360, so it shouldn't be related to the small HDD problem(s).


Is getting really drunk and dancing going to solve anything?

In Purgatory, I have the option to interact with a couple of unique items. They seem like throwaway interactions, but I'm curious if they have any in- game use. At the bar, I can take a drink. I've only done this a couple of times, but it seems like I can just keep drinking if I so choose. Elsewhere in the club, I can do a bit of dancing. Shepard really owns the dance floor, but I can't help but wonder if there's anything to be gained here. Is there any reason to get really plastered and do a bit of dancing? (Aside from trying to forget that the apocalypse is in full swing)

In Far Cry 2 I was given a mission by one of the factions to free a foreigner held at the lumberyard. I have tried 3 or 4 times, but can't get the door open. I have even to a save before I received the mission and then went to the lumberyard, but no luck. Any suggestions on what to do?


Do the party skills of my companions add up?

When leveling up my companions I wonder how much influence their skill values have. _Personal skill_ seems clear enough that it only concerns the actual companion. Yet _Party skills_ have me confused. For instance, when building advancement or besieging a castle only the companion with the highest _Engineer_ skill counts. So it seems ill-advised to waste points for other companion here. Same seems to be the case for _Trade_. But is it also the case with e.g. _Trainer_ , _Wound Treatment_ , _Surgery_ , and _First Aid_? Will those benefits add up, as in will two companions with high a _Trainer_ skill teach recruits faster, or does again only the one with the highest value count?


Can anything bad happen to EDI as a squadmate?

So EDI is my latest squadmate. Something about taking my ship's AI out to get shot, bludgeoned or set on fire seems extremely ill-advised, but then this is a video game. Can anything bad happen to the ship/it's AI if I take EDI out to play as a squad member or is she safe? If it's not, is there some specific mission I need to avoid taking her on?


I want to play the same games on Mac OS X and Windows 7

Here's my current setup. I have both Mac OS X 10.8 and Windows 7 installed on a SSD, and Paragon drivers for each installed on each. (so I can read/write to the other partition from both partitions) I have several games installed on Steam on Windows, and Steam is currently not installed on Mac OS X. Some of the games are compatible with both operating systems. I've transferred the files from one OS to another, and Steam accepts them and after downloading a small amount (less than 100mb) and they work just fine. So most of the game files will work fine on either OS. I'm okay with having two copies of some small things, but I don't want two of the entire game. So I'd like to store the games on one OS, preferably Windows, and play the OS X compatible ones on OS X without just installing them again on OS X. tl;dr, I want to play Source Engine games on both OSes of my dual-boot setup, while maintaining only one copy of the game files.


How do refills work for badges in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14?

I have been using a few of the badges given from the start of my career but it looks like you can only use them X amount of times before you have to refill them. ( Default was 5 ) Finding this out, sparked a few questions: How do you refill these badges? Do they cost money _IRL_ or XP ? How many times can you refill a badge? Does it cost 1 _badge usage_ per round or event you play in?


How can I change the putting camera angle?

I have been playing around with the visual presentation settings to my personal preference... but I can't seem to change the camera view that is shown when I put the ball ( the action of the ball rolling to the hole ). The camera seems to be random but from my experiences, the camera angle is shown from where the fans are standing (next to the green) - which IMHO ruins the _intense/thrilling_ part of the putt. How can I change this angle to be shown of more from an eagle's eye or above the ball view ? _I will try to post a picture of what I am talking about soon_.


In World of Warcraft, how can I find a merchant?

I can't seem to find a similar question on Arqade. Yesterday I managed to find a thread somewhere where one person said pressing `M` to bring the map up would give you the option to look for venders. However, for the life of me, I cannot find that same thread no matter how hard on google I try. What I want to do is find a store in Stormwind where I can buy rogue armor and rogue weapons, but more so I want the ability to locate stores in general, not having to close the game and google it every time. How can I find a vender on World of Warcraft? When I press `M`, it brinds up the map with any local quest I am doing on the right side. There is a drop down on the bottom right with one option, `Show Objectives`. Accross the top of the map there are dropdowns that let me select other maps. I don't see any kind of legend or filter. Is the ability to find venders on maps removed or unavailible to starter accounts? here is a screen shot from when I press `M`: ![map of stormwind](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tRL48.jpg)

Is there any point to breaking the surveillance cameras?

I believe in the original Portal there was an achievement for knocking down all the cameras. It doesn't look like there's a related achievement in Portal 2. Does knocking down the cameras have any effect (aside from nostalgia?)


Xbox Live Family Pack on multiple consoles

If we have 4 xbox's in our house (three in bedrooms and one in the living room), can we buy an Xbox live Family Pack for 12 months (you get 12 months for 4 accounts) and use one account on each Xbox (we already have three xbox live accounts we want to combine and use the fourth for the living room). I know that it would work on one console, but i didnt know if you could recover one of the child accounts back onto the individual xboxs and still have the membership time for each account.


Red Eagle's Fury keeps vanishing on me

I have reloaded from saves three times now, but the same thing happens. I currently have Red Eagle's Fury equipped, but as soon as I fast travel anywhere it just ups and disappears from my inventory. Could I somehow have dropped it? Though all that seems to trigger it is fast travelling, and whenever I draw my weapon after, In the hand where Red eagle used to be, an arrow is now equipped. i'm playing on the PS3, so unfortunately console commands won't help. Also, I had the glitch earlier where I had two at one point and I managed to sell one, could this be the glitch resolving itself?


What levels are needed to unlock Path of the Jedi in Angry Birds Star Wars?

The extra levels in Angry Birds Star Wars titled **Path of the Jedi** can be unlocked by either buying a $2 IAP or 3-starring every level. Being a gamer at heart, I feel the latter one is the only way to go. However, the fact that new levels are periodically added in free updates makes the concept of "every level" a bit vague. Does this also mean the bonus levels? How about the ones that aren't unlocked yet? I believe the game was released before the Hoth levels; will they also be needed? I currently have Tatooine and Death Star 3-starred so at least completing Hoth or the Bonus levels is needed but do I need both? Furthermore, should I avoid future updates if I want to unlock the levels faster?

How can I display my GameCube on my PC?

I am thinking about getting a GameCube or a Wii, since it can play GameCube Games too. I do not have any sort of TV nor did I plan on getting one, I only have a PC with a 16:10 ViewSonic Monitor (which does support 16:9 ratios but with black bars). Optimum would be a solution where I can just hook up the GameCube to my PC entirely, including sound and displaying the video in some sort of software. What is the best solution for that? I have found this, but I do not know how the software actually looks like, so I cannot tell if works or not. Do not mention emulators please, since the games I want most cannot be emulated.


Why am I not starting in My Career NBA2k14 PS4

So a few games ago I got promoted to a sixth-man. Now it's been like 11 games, I play 27 minutes on the bench, but still don't start. I get a great performance rating every time, put up 30 points a game, 5th best pg in the NBA. I play for the Philadelphia 76'ers, and I got a better overall than the guy who is starting over me. So my question is why am I not starting yet? I've played like 45 games with them now...

Well, I play team games mostly but besides team battles, I have been in a few battles which was just the protoss and me, the zerg. And, I struggled a lot. Whatever composition I have in the army (except for brood lords, haven't been in a 1v1 battle with brood lords on my side yet), the high templars literally screwed my whole army when we clashed. All I could do was try-to-hit and run. How am I supposed to counter this army of his - Stalker / Zealot / Archon / High Templar ? How should I deal with his army as zerg?


Making the most of Glitterlance (Lulu Q)

Glitterlance is a nice piercing spell that is fired by both Lulu and Pix, but a potential target can only be damaged by one. Problem is, most of the time Pix is close by and the two paths have a great degree of overlap (except when he is on enemies or allies using `Help, Pix!`) I've tried to move laterally quickly during fights to reduce the overlap a little bit; but that is harder to do in big fights when there is more to keep track of. How do I maximise the potential of Glitterlance attack to take full advantage of Pix' shot besides my own? Edit: Both answers below are good, but as indicated I do know about `Help, Pix!` and am wondering on what _else_ I can do besides that combo.
