Guild wars 2 crashes when entering world

When I select my character, and hit play the game crashes. A box with the crash report shows up. The game doesn't close, it just says explosive intellect (I think it's the starting area). My drivers are up to date. My PC specification is as follows;   * GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M    * CPU: intel i7.3638QM    * RAM: 8GB (4GB*2)  The crash report is as follows;               *--> Crash <--*     Assertion: hdr->signature == PACKFILE_SIGNATURE      File: ..\..\..\Services\Packfile\Packfile.cpp(1819)     App: Gw2.exe      Pid: 11084     Cmdline:      BaseAddr: 00400000     ProgramId: 101     Build: 28611     When: 2014-01-20T16:05:00Z 2014-01-20T17:05:00+01:00     Uptime:   0 days  0:00:51     Flags: 0          *--> System <--*     Name: SUPERGAMER     IpAddr: 192.168.1.15 25.107.100.238     Processors: 8 [GenuineIntel:6:10:9]     OSVersion: Windows 6.1 (64 bit)          *--> System Memory <--*     Physical:  4643MB/ 8088MB  57%     Paged:    11602MB/16175MB  71%     Virtual:   2598MB/ 4095MB  63%     Load: 42%     CommitTotal:   4573MB     CommitLimit:  16175MB     CommitPeak:    5115MB     SystemCache:   4568MB     HandleCount:  34723     ProcessCount:   110     ThreadCount:   1809          *--> Process Memory <--*     Private:         1056MB     WorkingSet:       359MB     PeakWorkingSet:   364MB     PageFaults:    330694          [DbgHelp.dll is C:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll]     [DbgHelp.dll version 6.1.7601.17514 (64/32-bit compatible)]          *--> SerialLoader0 Thread 0x2850 <--*          *--> Trace <--*     Pc:0091a82c Fr:3b90fe8c Rt:0091aaba Arg:00000002 214ad9fc 2144cdd0 00000000      Pc:0091aaba Fr:3b90feb4 Rt:0091b828 Arg:2144cdd0 00000000 00000000 0000000d      Pc:0091b828 Fr:3b90fed0 Rt:008ec481 Arg:2144cdd0 0000000d 00000044 017a9c78      Pc:008ec481 Fr:3b90feec Rt:0091712a Arg:2144cdd0 00060c2c 182e0a90 008ebf62      Pc:0091712a Fr:3b90ff14 Rt:009490ba Arg:00000000 0f683b60 03a56038 00000002      Pc:009490ba Fr:3b90ff30 Rt:006edfcf Arg:00000000 03a56038 00000000 3b90ff7c      Pc:006edfcf Fr:3b90ff44 Rt:0096133d Arg:0f683b60 70375a14 00000000 03a56038      Pc:0096133d Fr:3b90ff7c Rt:009613e5 Arg:00000000 3b90ff94 768c336a 03a56038      Pc:009613e5 Fr:3b90ff88 Rt:768c336a Arg:03a56038 3b90ffd4 777e9f72 03a56038      Pc:768c336a Fr:3b90ff94 Rt:777e9f72 Arg:03a56038 486510e8 00000000 00000000      Pc:777e9f72 Fr:3b90ffd4 Rt:777e9f45 Arg:00961363 03a56038 00000000 00000000      Pc:777e9f45 Fr:3b90ffec Rt:00000000 Arg:00961363 03a56038 00000000 00000000           *--> Thread registers <--*     eax=3b90fa50 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000000 edx=00000044 esi=00000000 edi=00000000     eip=0091a82c esp=3b90fe64 ebp=3b90fe8c     cs=0023 ss=002b ds=002b es=002b fs=0053 gs=002b efl=00000246          eax-32 3B90FA30  3b90faa0 006f3c55 00000000 3b90faa0      eax-16 3B90FA40  7686c40d 3b90faa0 7686c41f 3b90fa50      eax +0 3B90FA50  80000003 00000000 00000000 7686c41f      eax+16 3B90FA60  00000002 00000002 10fed630 00000280      eax+32 3B90FA70  76871ac0 00000044 3b90fdd0 3b90fb50      eax+48 3B90FA80  3b90faa4 009650ef 3b90fb50 00000000           *--> Code <--*     0091A80C  5201e8fd 95ddffba 50460000 66391774 R.......PF..f9.t     0091A81C  14681b07 0000ba44 7b5201b9 28805201 .h.....D{R..(.R.     0091A82C  e8df95dd ff8b4708 8343100c 894318f6 ......G..C...C..     0091A83C  47020174 07814b14 00000080 f6470204 G..t..K......G..     0091A84C  0fb74f06 8d4c0ef4 894d10c7 45080000 ..O..L...M..E...     0091A85C  00007410 c7450801 000000eb 078da424 ..t..E.........$          *--> Stack <--*     3B90FE64  0091a831 0000071b 182e0ba0 00060c2c 1...........,...     3B90FE74  00000002 3b90fe98 0091a709 00000018 .......;........     3B90FE84  00000000 00000000 3b90feb4 0091aaba ...........;....     3B90FE94  00000002 214ad9fc 2144cdd0 00000000 ......J!..D!....     3B90FEA4  00000000 017a9c78 182e0a24 182e0ac4 ....x.z.$.......     3B90FEB4  3b90fed0 0091b828 2144cdd0 00000000 ...;(.....D!....     3B90FEC4  00000000 0000000d 00000044 3b90feec ........D......;

How can I obtain Final Fantasy Adventure for a Mobile phone in the US?

A little back story. The first (quasi) RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy Adventure. At that time, I was quite the platformer fan and NES Zelda games, although moderately fun, never caught my attention for long. One day at a flee market I picked up Final Fantasy Adventure for a couple bucks and I fell in love with the experience of leveling up, weapon selection and getting engaged in the story. I was hooked and from then on I was a hardcore RPGer*. Because of it's personal history, FFA has a special place in my gaming heart. Every few years I pull out my old cart, slap it in my old-school GB and play it for a few hours. It doesn't matter where my saved file is-- I've practically memorized what to do from any place in the game and it's always still just as enjoyable as it's initial discovery. Today, I learned that back in 2006 a Japanese version was released for mobile phones that was quite similar to the original, but with updated graphics. As an uber-fan... I MUST PLAY THIS GAME. Sorry, I'm still a bit excited. The problem is I live in the US and I would have no clue how to obtain a mobile game from an international market. Can this be done? Is there an emulator for such a thing and, if so, where can I find it. I don't mind that the game's text will be in Japanese. I can't read it but, honestly, I don't have too. Yes, I get it. I'm a bit of an obsessive nerd. Any help, however, is much appreciated. Thanks! *I know that FFA isn't a typical RPG. However, it did have RPG elements and it lead me to other games in the FF story-line. I fell in love with the traditional RPG style as much as I had the Action-RPG style of FFA and I've never looked back.


Importing songs to Rocksmith 2014

I have read that, as long as there is a save file of the original Rocksmith on the hard drive, you can import the old songs into Rocksmith 2014 with an import tool that can be bought from the PSN. I have sometimes read that all disc songs can be imported, but on a (German) review at 4players it says that apparently 14 songs do not import. Translation: > Pro: > >   * songs of the predecessor can be imported... > > > Con: > >   * ... but only with costs (10€) and not completely (14 songs missing) > Now the question is: Do all songs from the original Rocksmith disc and also all DLC available for the original Rocksmith import to Rocksmith 2014 by buying the import tool, or are some songs excluded?

Why do I keep losing weapons in GTA V online when I save?

So a regular session will go like this:   - log in to the multiplayer world and examine my weak arsenal of 3 different pistols + 2 shotties + a baseball bat.   - start a gang war or survival mission and pick up some decent guns. Usually end up with Carbine Rifle + SMG + Micro SMG.   - enjoy playing GTAV online for a while.   - quit back to story mode to save, either by selecting Michael, Trevor or Francis - or by selecting the option in the Online menu.   - start another online session the next day - aaaand back to step 1. Where is my Carbine/SMG/etc??????  I initially supposed this was due to me not saving correctly, and then I thought maybe it was some undocumented "feature" where you can't keep weapons until you get to a certain level. I can't find any mention of such a thing in the Rockstar Social Club GTA online guide. I found this link which supposedly lists when weapons get unlocked, but I'm level 43 and I'm still stuck with a Combat Pistol as my best default weapon. How do I keep my weapons?


Force Client Window to be rendered to bigger screen

So i have 2 Screens. one smaller and one larger. i made the smaller one my "primary" screen and started LOL. then i took the patcher to the larger screen. after pressing play, the PVP.NET-Client was rendered to my Main Screen (the smaller, "primary") again. Again i moved him to the larger screen. when the game started, the Client was rendered to the smaller screen with the resolution of the bigger screen(!). someone has an idea on how to avoid this?

I was farming for the plans for the Nightmare staff of herding and got the normal staff of herding plans. Since I already got the normal staff I have no need for the plans. I can't sell it and I can't AH it. Is there anything to do with it, or should I just drop it to not take up place?


Turn avenues and regular roads into one way streets?

Is there a way to turn avenues or regular streets into two one way streets? Need this in some situations where it would be more convenient for the two directions to split up for a short distance before rejoining into either an avenue or a regular street. Would also be useful if I wanted to turn an expressway into a regular road.


In Fifa 13 Ultimate Team, what defines formation compatibility?

In Fifa 13's Ultimate Team mode, every player (card) has a preferred formation. Every squad is playing in some formation (obviously). When a player card is placed in a squad, the formation compatibility is evaluated. It may receive one of three ratings. ![Green Formation Compatibility](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IBQFr.png) - Full formation compatibility, provides bonus to Chemistry.

Can there be a draw in League of Legends?

Just curious. Say both teams are playing 4v4 teamfight, while one of each is backdooring each nexus. What could happen if both at the same time do the "destroying blow" to the nexus?


Is there such a thing as too many probes?

I've been watching a lot of Day[9] videos to get better at SC2. My main race is Protoss and Day[9] loves the phrase "pylons and probes", meaning you should always be building pylons so you aren't supply blocked, and that you should always have a probe building. I'm getting better at both of these, but is there a point at which you have too many probes and you should just stop building them? It doesn't seem like I've ever gotten to the point that I couldn't build enough units because I had too many probes. But by the end of a game I look at my bases and see a LOT of probes. I also notice that lots of pro players seem to count their probes (or workers) a lot by boxing them all. Is there a point where if I count a certain number of probes I should just stop building them?

Trouble creating water source

I am quite new to dwarf fortress and trying to create an underground farm. I know that I need to muddy the ground so I havd created thd chanel above the farm and placed a pond activity zone over it. Shortly after I get a notice that filling the pond has been cancelled because there is no water source. So I find the closest water source, a murky pond that seems to be 1 layer lower than the land around it. I dig a small channel section at the edge to access the water and set a water source activity zone. I then recreate the pond but get the same message that there is no water source. What am I doing wrong here? Would someone mind walking me through creating a water source? Thanks


Will I be able to wear 8 rings as an octopode after dragon form and necromutation?

What are the most lucrative planetary materials to produce?

There are a wide range of planetary materials to produce, each material is produced on two of many different planet types. Each planetary material can further be refined and combined with other materials into yet more advanced materials. The problem is that sometimes the raw materials sell for more than the components. How does one decide what the best processed materials, or unprocessed materials are to sell? There are so many to choose from, doing the math on each is quite lengthy. Does anyone have any market winners for planetary production?

Is there a list of my owned psn games?

I bought some psn games before, some psp and psx games, and one vita game. But I'm not sure which ones since it has been a while and not all of them are stored on my memory card anymore. Does Sony provide a list of owned games somewhere? I'd like to have a list of all the psn games I have bought before, so I can download all of them to my new memory card. (the previous one didn't have enough space available so I deleted games I didn't play anymore)   I know this is a bit off-topic, but I still think the question is relevant to the gaming.SE community.


How do you kill the Turtle boss in the fire area?

This boss went through 3 bottles with fairies. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.   1. How do you avoid his attack where he's under the grate, shooting up a constant stream of fire, moving towards you wherever you run?   2. How do you avoid his attack after he gets on top of the grate, where he spins around and moves all over the level? Is this just purely luck based?   3. How do you avoid his attack where the entire arena seems to explode or something I don't even know just that it wrecked me.   4. How many times do you have to hit him? I hit him in the head with what felt like 30 icicles and at least as many sword swings, and he just wouldn't go down. What's the strategy for this guy?

I'm very new to Dark Souls and I'm having a hard time figuring out what these icons mean by testing. ![screenshot of inventory with some items](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7LEyWl.jpg) Okay, I found out how to show details, but still, not all icons are named on this screenshot: ![screenshot of a bandit's knife with its stats screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YIQxr.jpg) Here are the icons I'm interested in: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vzXKP.png) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wMG7F.png) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gR7vd.png) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/X2CUr.png) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/L9Qx2.png) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0LVk7.png) Apparently, the sword icon shows how much damage the weapon deals. Although non-weapon items also have it (shields), and I could find a way to deal damage with them yet. The icons of orange color apparently signify damage. Other colors − not sure. What does each icon mean and how do I compare items with them?

Where are the properties and heists in GTA V online?

I was under the impression that GTA V online let you do almost everything in multiplayer that you could do in single player like buy property(most importantly safe-houses). I'm also really interested in playing in some of the teased co-op heists. After much server woes, I was able to play a little last night. I got through the initial street race, did the drug deal, bought some clothes, got a personal vehicle, and played some death matches. No properties show up on the map yet. No heists appear available There's one mission, but that fails out 3 seconds after starting. Basically I only see PvP content. I don't even recall any markers for golf or tennis on the mini-map. I'm only rank 4 or 5 so far. Is all this content limited to higher ranked players? Or are there further updates to GTA Online that we have to wait for?


Reverse Timing using redstone

I am looking to reverse the timing of redstone for an airlock system I'm building. I have tried using ABBA and ABAB switches, but to no avail. I would like it to work as follows;               -- Stage 1 --     Inside door is closed     Water side door is open          Close water side door     Wait X ticks (repeater configurable) for water to drain     Open inside door          -- Stage 2 --     Inside door is open     Water side door is closed          Close inside door     Open water side door      As you can see, I only want timing in one direction (when the power is coming on, or going off), and I'm not completely sure how to go about doing this. Any tips would be welcomed.

Why does the Scourge creeps always win against the Sentinels?

I tried pitting the sentinels vs scourge without any heroes. Just let the creeps battle on their own. I did this 5 times and on those 5 matches, the scourge always wins the match.

How do I get the chest that is down the very thin hole in The Hole?

How can I figure out what's causing my PS3 to start, and stop it?

Yesterday, my power randomly went out while my PS3 was on. It was just sitting their idle on the main screen, wasn't in a game. When I turned it back on, it went through all its hard drive checks, etc. I'm not sure if this is related, but this didn't start happening until immediately after the power outage. Anyways, I can't seem to keep my PS3 turned off without actually removing the power from it by flipping the power switch on the back. Every time I turn off my PS3 either by [Users] > [Turn Off System] or the power button on the front, it will automatically start back up on its own a few seconds later. Is there any way I can figure out why it's doing this or what's causing it, and how can I stop it?

"Ill met by Moonlight" quest: quest marker does not point to Sinding

So, apparently I'm the first with this problem; I assume so because I've yet to find any mention of this particular bug. I started this quest on a bit of a rough note as it is. I had to leave the jail and re-enter to get Sinding to even approach the bars. But once he did, all went well. He gave me the ring, transformed and fled from the cell. Now, I was doing another side-mission in the area of Falkreath before heading off to the nearest location I could fast-travel to near Bloated Man's Grotto. I entered, and spoke to the dying Hunter. Then I got the quest update to kill Sinding, but the marker indicated he was roaming out in the forest. So, I found him, but accidentally exited the dialog before I could tell him whether I was going to help him or not. This resulted in him fleeing to the Grotto where the quest continued as normal. Now, I don't want the Savior's Hide armour, I wanted the Ring of Hircine. So I loaded my last (and only) save. I figured if it glitched similarly, I could just make sure not to exit the dialog with Sinding before telling him I was on his side. But, the bug has changed somehow. NOW instead of roaming the world aimlessly, waiting for me to find him, the quest marker indicates he's in the jail cell. Here is where the bug is different from any I've looked up. The MARKER is in the cell, but Sinding HIMSELF is NOT. I've reloaded, and reloaded, and reloaded, changing the path I take to the Grotto and such (even choosing not to do the side-mission I mentioned earlier), all to only have the marker indicate the middle of the Falkreath jail cell everytime since. I have no idea what to do, as now I'm simply stuck with the damned Curse Ring of Hircine.


How do I get into the coal shaft in the Ancient Mine?

In the Ancient Mine there is a fence which I can't get past. By setting off some explosives and knocking a ramp over, I managed to find an alternate route where I was ambushed by some kind of floating worm monster. Just past this is a mine cart on a short track and a coal shaft which I'm guessing I need to enter to progress, but I can't figure out how to climb up into it. (Can't believe I managed to get stuck no more than 30 minutes into the game...)

Redstone Ore Giving Nothing When Mined

So, I'm finding that when I break Redstone blocks while mining I am getting nothing in return. I've read this happens on PE but I'm using the PC version(Windows 7), which I downloaded yesterday. I am in survival mode. Has anyone experienced this? I've mined about 10 of these and have gotten nothing. From what I've read every one of those blocks should have given me something, it doesn't appear to be a rare drop. Thanks!

Is the amulet of articulation the only armored necklace in the game?

I received the amulet of articulation when I became Guild Master and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was armored (9 points is a good rating when it could have been 0!) in addition to having a kicka** enchantment on it. However, during fights, I like to change my armor to something stronger, and I would like to know if there's an available enchant-able armored necklace anywhere else in the game. I found the ancient nord amulet in the Jarl's longhouse in Falkreath, but it neither had any armor points nor was it enchant-able...

Is there any way to customise the location of where replays are autosaved?

Since patch 1.2 you've been able to permanently retain replays by default. My question is: do I have any control of where they're saved or am I forced to use SC2Gears for this purpose? The reason I want to do this is to separate my replays from those I've downloaded and added to the Multiplayer folder - while retaining the ability to launch them in-game. The need for this separation arises from SC2Gears apparent inability to exclude subfolders from replay sources or to save filter searches.

On my slightly newer character, he only lets me go to four cities - Markarth, Riften, Solitude and Windhelm. My first character has all those plus places like Morthal, Winterhold, and Falkreath. What's the reason behind this? It's not based on which cities I've visited (as I've only visited Riften out of the four on my second character).

Are dungeons locked at the level when you first enter them?

Optimizing Axton for Solo Play

Due to a severe lack of close-level friends, I'm stuck playing _Borderlands 2_ solo. I've tried a few different builds that I've found scattered around the internets, mostly focusing on one particular tree or another, but still I struggle with some of the content as I am forced to take on (sometimes) large waves of enemies single handed. Sure, I have my turret, but even that only lasts for a few seconds. So far, I've found my damage output to be severely lacking, while my health and shield regeneration are minimal at best. I would really like to be able to find a nice balance between the two, while ultimately enabling dual-Turret launching, but I'm unsure how I can do this, currently. **How can I effectively build Axton to play solo? Is it possible to have both high-damage _and_ survivability?**

Can I use everything that is unlocked after leveling up?

When I level up, the screen shows me so many passives/actives/generators/spenders/runes. What I am asking is whether or not I am able to use everything that is available to me at my level. For example, as a monk, I have unlocked all four spirit generators. However, many guides have been telling me to use two generators, such as crippling wave for AOE damage and FoT for single target. What about the other two? I just do not understand how the system works, because it's not like I can level up CW/FoT to a higher rank every level. The same question applies to runes. If I choose to use, say for example, Thunderclap with my Fists of Thunder, will I be able to use Bounding Light later on? Or am I stuck with Thunderclap? Sorry in advance if this seems like a simple question; I am new to the Diablo series. And thank you for reading.

You can turn in food and water (and I guess alcohol/champagne too, but I haven't turned in a lot of these) but there doesn't seem to be any end to how much you can turn in. So far the reward has just been cash each time. Is this just your standard fare repeated-quest turn in, essentially giving water/food a higher "sell value", or is there another tangible benefit to providing these items en masse?

What determines if an enemy is killed or downed in Gears of War 3?

I've noticed sometimes when I purposely shoot an enemy in the leg in bursts I kill them. Other times, I down them. I thought the main reason to shoot an enemy in the leg is to slow them down and to down them so an execution can be performed. I've noticed this is not the case and appears to be random. Does the game randomly decide whether or not to down an enemy no matter where you shoot? Apart from when the enemy is shot in the head.

So I just finished the new DLC for Fable 3 and completed all the quests available. After finishing the DLC I decided to tie up any loose ends in mainland albion. For example kill/find the gnomes, Keys etc.. However I noticed quests like the wheel of misfortune and day at the chicken races (both repeatable quests) have a set number of guild seals assigned to them. For example if you look at your quests you will see a 40 next to wheel of misfortune and 10 next to day at the chicken races. I have beat both of them once, but don't see a need to do them again unless it will clear them from my quest list and give me the feeling of completeness I desire. Is there something special you have to do to receive those guild seals or remove the quest from the quest list?


Is there a trading functionality?

Is there any way to trade weapons, warframes, blueprints, or materials in warframe? There isn't a page for it in my steam inventory, but I figured that that might just be because it can also be played without downloading it through steam (by downloading through the original developer's site instead). Is there in fact a way to do it in-game, or am I forced to sell my gear that I don't want, even if a friend needs it?


How can I easily pre-determine what sort of armor a follower will prefer?

Spun off from this answer: My housecarls won't stay dressed! Apparently, certain characters will just outright refuse to keep on any clothes that don't meet their particular preference. For some it might be Heavy Armor, for some it might be Light Armor, and I'm sure others prefer robes or plain clothes. Is there a way (maybe a list I haven't found yet?) to determine who would like to wear what, before giving them any items? Also, all the housecarls I've had so far seem to come standard with Steel Armor. Does this mean they all prefer Heavy Armor?


Is it safe to carry lots of gold around?

Is there any need to store gold in chests in my home(s)? Can I be pickpocketed by NPCs in the game or otherwise unexpectedly lose gold or items from my inventory? Or can I safely carry all my gold around?


What are the "payoff" times for EvE learning skills?

"Learning skills" are the skills that increase a character stat, thus reducing the time it takes to train other skills that require that stat. This creates a trade-off. I can learn skill X now, taking the "normal" amount of time to train it, _or_ I can train the learning skill now, and then train skill X, which will now take slightly less time. My question: what is the "payoff" time for each learning skill - how long do I have to spend training skills utilizing that boosted stat before the total training time is lower than it would be without the learning skill? Ideally, I would like a chart that lists all the payoffs for all levels of all learning skills.

Is there any truth to the rumors about arcade games with free game backdoors?

I remember when I was younger, there were rumors of arcade games that if you entered a "secret code", you would be granted a free game. Now I understand that this runs counter to the idea of arcades (why have an arcade machine if you're not going to earn money from it?), but I was wondering if there was any truth to the rumors. Maybe a disgruntled programmer snuck in a backdoor in one of the games?


Does the IMHO-9000 and Vertix cause friendly fire?

When attacking a enemy ship I sometimes see an IMHO attack animation hit my partner's ship when they wander too close to my target followed by a damage number. However when I mouse over them I see no damage. It could be because their droid is healing it too fast or it is purely cosmetic. Does the IMHO cause friendly fire? Does the Vertix have the same problem?

In Blueberry Garden, how does eating a blueberry affect you?

So, some of the fruits and things that you can eat are pretty easy to figure out. But the first fruit you come to, the blueberry, just turns you bluish. What else does it do?

Do I need to complete the Via Infinito to gain 100% story completion?

I'm working my way through X-2, and have just come up to the final dungeon. I've followed the guide as closely as I can, but I seem to be missing some story completion percentage points. I haven't completed the Via Infinito dungeon, since it seems to be harder than the end boss. In the guide's story checklist, though, it includes that. Googling this brings up conflicting answers. Both for and against completing it. I would like to know if I have to actually complete this to gain 100% in a single playthrough. I would rather not have to play through it again, just to see the "Good" complete ending.

Is there a way to play The King of Fighters multiplayer on the PC?

Many people say that they are the best in King of Fighters ver. 1.3. I also wondered if there is a player better than I am, but the only way to figure that out is by playing them in a multiplayer game. I have heard of a new version where Mai and Chun Li would be released, but so far, I haven't found that game. So now I'm here wanting to know if any of you knew anything about a version of King of Fighters that allows multiplayer. Please tell me any information you may have.

How much time do I have before one of my dens is recaptured?

Templars are attacking my dens a lot and I strongly dislike the Den Defense minigame, so I'm tempted to ignore the attacks. I'm assuming my dens are going to get recaptured by the templars sooner or later, so I don't want to ignore the attacks for too long, but how long is too long? Should I always drop everything and go rescue my dens?


Do you have to use all four accounts right away for Xbox Live Gold family memberships?

I checked Microsoft's FAQ for the Xbox live gold family pack, and browsed on here for a little while, but can't seem to find the answer to my question. My wife and I both have Xbox consoles, and I was wondering if I bought the family pack, do I have to add four different accounts right away, or if my wife and I could both use two memberships. So we would both have 24 months total. I know this is probably not the case because Microsoft probably would not allow that, but I just thought I'd ask.

Where is Michael Mamaril?

In tribute to a _Borderlands_ fan by the real name of Michael Mamaril who died from cancer at a young age, Gearbox immortalized him as an NPC vault hunter who offers you guns to help you out (source). The "Tribute to a Vault Hunter" achievement triggers upon finding him. I haven't been able to find him in Sanctuary in single or multiplayer. I've completed multiple story missions and still cannot find him. Is there some trick to when he begins to show up in Sanctuary? I know he hangs around in many different spots—are they random or predictable?

How is EXP determined?

Today in _Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy_ , I decided to take my chances on a set of music with which I was on familiar. Things were going well. I managed to score an S on the first two songs (EMS and FMS). This got me 300 EXP on one, and 700ish on the second. Upon completion of those two, I went on to do the Battle round. After only scoring an A on this one, I was amazed to see that I got a whopping 2500 EXP! This was enough to level my (fairly low level) party up three times a piece! I have no idea _how_ I got 2500 EXP, so: **How does this game determine just how much EXP you're getting?**

I've acquired several CollectaCards in my time playing _Theathrhythm_. Sometimes, I'll go check them out and read the neat little quotes in the Museum.

How can I disable zoom reset on activating next char in XCOM?

In X-COM Unknown Enemy I love to zoom out to maximum for getting a good overview while moving soldiers, attacking enemies and thinking about my next moves. As we all know the game automatically advances to the next soldier if you have spent all movement points of one. But everytime that happens, the game also automatically zooms in to default zoom level. How can I disable that, so that the zoom stays always the same (maximized)?


Are there end-game tactics viable for Witch Doctors that don't require Spirit Walk?

As I near the end of Nightmare, I have come to realize that the single most useful skill I have is Spirit Walk. I use it constantly, and it has saved my life more times than I can count. It is also the only ability Witch Doctors have that breaks crowd control. I believe that there are items that add crowd control resistance, or reduce the duration of crowd control, but I just don't see how Spirit Walk isn't going to be more and more necessary as I get to Hell and then Inferno. Are there viable strategies for Witch Doctors that don't require this skill, or is it really as important as it seems? How do you handle Hell and Inferno champions/rares/uniques without Spirit Walk?


What are the effects of doing an autopsy?

An effect I notice from doing an autopsy in Startopia (placing a dead body in the Analyser) is the report that is shown after the analysis is complete. Does the report have any significance?

How do I find the IP address of the server I'm currently on?

First off: I use the server finder tool in the game, so I can't use the server browser to find my server unless there's something else I'm missing there, it's entirely possible. The "add current server" buttons are greyed out at all times for me whether or not I'm on a server. What I want is a way to find my current server's IP via the command console. I don't need a command to hit a button to favorite or blacklist, just one to find the IP, I can put that in manually.


Is it possible to preview an item linked in chat?

In a manner similar to how it is in World of Warcraft, is there any way to use an item that has been linked in chat to preview how it would look on you character? In WoW this is done by shift clicking on the item in chat, and it would bring up a version of your character that is identical to you, but with whatever item that you shift clicked replacing the item you have of the same slot. This could be repeated with more items until your entire appearance was altered. Is anything like this possible in Diablo 3?

Are patches, updates, etc released at the same time worldwide?

I intend to buy a PS4 here in the US and use it in Iceland over the holidays. The PS4 will not be released in Iceland until January 29th. It has been confirmed that the PS4 is auto-voltage, so I am not worried about the hardware, and the games are not region based, so I am not worried about that either. I am worried about the software. Since Sony does not intend to release its console until the end of January, do they block software updates, patches, etc. from ISP providers in the countries where the console has not been released yet?


Is it possible to earn achievements in Steam for Rainbow Six Vegas 2? If so, how do I set up Steam to earn achievements?

Steam support representatives told me that I cannot register the game though Steam, and it says so in their FAQ as well. (I think it is because RSV2 keys only have 19 characters, and typical Steam keys have 20 or 25 characters. I think this is why it is incompatible.) I had bought it through Direct2Drive. However, I would like to earn Steam achievements in Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I am able to get the Steam overlay by choosing "add a non-steam game" (as the Steam support instructed me to do). I am not sure though if it is possible to earn achievements; and if it is possible, I need to know how to do it. In short, is it possible to earn Steam achievements in Rainbow Six Vegas 2? If so, how do I set up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 to earn achievements?

So I made a simple water trap in Minecraft, but for some reason made it right next to my furnace and crafting table.

It is below me so it is hard to hit it with my sword. How do I kill it? Here is a picture: ![this was a bad idea](http://i.stack.imgur.com/b43So.png)

Permanent "alien" alert issue

One of my squad members seems to be permanently stuck with an alien-in-view alert. As far as I can tell, he always has one more alert than is relevant (he always sees one more alien than there actually are within his line of sight). One the one hand, this is handy, since he's an assault class and I'm guessing gets bonuses for this, but at the same time, it's very annoying to keep hearing the "I saw an alien" audio alert, when no alien is anywhere within his sights. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a work-around? I've tried reloading the game from save, but it didn't seem to help.


Why is my Minecraft Forge 1.7.2 not working?

I have the most recent version of Java, but I cant download Minecraft Forge 1.7.2 for some reason.

So, Theres some more info.


Is there a list of the "current" limited dragons anywhere?

I've found several lists of all of the dragons that are limited, but nothing where I can see what Limited dragons are currently available, and how long is left to breed them. Clicking on each dragon to find out if it is currently breedable is kind of a pain.


What are the new Battlefield 3 assignments?

Since the last update which unlocked Back to Karkand, at the end of a round I see a range of titles and below each, a weapon and a progress bar, some of which increase as I play. But it does not tell what they are. A friend told me, these are the new assignments, but couldn't know the details either. What are these assignments? What must I do in order to complete each?


Is it possible to relocate the camera to the binded group without double-tap?

Is Resist Magic multiplicative or additive?

I know this has been asked as a general question before and the consensus here is that each item that adds a resist magic percentage is multiplicative but UESP reckons it is additive with an 85% hard cap. With 1.3 out now have we any more confirmation which is correct?

Sorting by Pro Keys rating

When I'm playing Rock Band 3 by myself, I want to go into Quickplay and sort the songs by their difficulty in Pro Keys. I can't figure out how-- when I log in from the keyboard and choose "Song Difficulty" as the sort order, it uses the regular Keys difficulty until I've played a song in Pro Keys. Is there a way to choose Pro Keys from the song sort/filter menu, and I just don't see it? Is there some other solution? (I'm on Xbox, if that matters, and this is the keyboard controller that came in the game/keys bundle.)


Guardian Shield: Does it stack?

Protoss sentry units have the Guardian Shield ability which: > Creates a range 4 aura that reduces incoming ranged damage to friendly units > by 2. Lasts 15 seconds. If a unit is sitting inside the guardian shield created by **TWO** different sentries, is the overall damage reduction still just 2, or is the damage stacking and first reduced by 2 for sentry shield 1, and then another 2 for sentry shield 2, for a total of 4 damaged mitigated?

How does one subscribe to BattleField 3 Premium Events?

Looking at the news page on battlelog, I noticed this weekend friends @Battlefield will be spawning an Air Kills competition, which turns out to be very interesting (I think I have no chances, btw :). Anyways, I can't clearly understand if one has to subscribe to the event somewhere or it just suffice to play BF3 to join. Does someone already know how such BF3 events work?

How do I prevent my fingers from hurting when playing fighting games with a gamepad?

I'm practicing for when Fighting is Magic comes out and I bought a pair of Sega Saturn USB game pads which, the Internet says, are the best ones for fighting games. They're pretty good alright, but my left thumb starts to hurt soon from doing quarter and half circles. What's wrong and how do I deal with this?


How do I stop that banshee from eating my face?

Banshees. They rapidly teleport to cover distance quickly and take you out with an instant-kill attack (with no chance of revival) if you let them get to close. Even at longer distances they have a large area of effect blast and biotic attack. **What are some good strategies for vanquishing these voracious vixens of violent verve?** **Edit** : I should mention that I usually play Human Engineer, so tactics specific to that class would be helpful. **Edit 2** : These are all excellent suggestions, thanks to everyone that contributed. Verily, I shall now vaunt my victory over these vesuvian vermin!

Blood On The Ice - SetObjectiveCompleted not working (spoilers)

I completed the `Blood On The Ice` quest quite a while back and remember having a problem with the `Get assistance from Jorleif` part of the quest. I completed the quest, but looking in the journal still marks that objective as incomplete: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/U1dvs.jpg) I am not too savvy with the console commands so really I have been using the UESPWiki pages for help using them. With that said I tried the following: `SetObjectiveCompleted MS11 110 1` When opening the journal again the objective still appears incomplete. How do I mark that objective as complete? It's more of an annoyance if anything, but if it means restarting the quest then I could also do that, although I am not sure how and don't know what affect that would have as I just joined the storm cloaks and already have the strange amulet. Thanks


Do important people and things look important?

Do primary objectives/people have a visual cue that lets you know you are about to embark on a major event (potentially missing uncompleted content)? I know I can go reread my journal to figure out who I am supposed to be talking to but therein lies the dilemma. I tend to try collect all of the quests and events I can in one area before I go and attempt to complete ANY of them, the list can get pretty long. I then review the options I have and choose the missions I think will advance the story in the way I want. I don't want to start/complete missions on accident and preclude myself from other more interesting/in-character missions. There are similar questions that deal with specific branching story lines and points of no return but I am wondering if any important people, major/minor quest givers, quest completion points, etc. LOOK different than one another.


Which levels have bonus secret levels in them?

Sometimes there are bonus cubes found in the levels, which allow you to play a secret level to grant special bonuses (for example: transfer a nice creature to the next "normal" level, or whatever). Which levels have these cubes? I want to know when to search.

How can I record insane action in Minecraft?

I used to make videos which had a lot of system-intensive gameplay, for example, 10,000 TNT exploding at the same time. I used to have a modification that slowed the game down and recorded it frame by frame. I haven't used it since 1.2.5 and so unfortunately can't remember what it was called. Video Example I have a project which I want to result in a large explosion, and I will be using about 50,000 TNT. I have a better computer than I had then, but with shaders I would be hard pressed to find anyone that could pull it off. How could I record something like this? I have attempted it without any special settings or modifications, and my Minecraft installation just crashes. My current system specification is:   * Nvidia GTX 660 Ti   * 16 GB Corsair RAM   * Quad-core 3.8 GHz processor.   * 250 GB SSD and three 2 TB hard disk drives


What is the source for calling your characters "Toons"

I've seen that in games where a player has an "arsenal" of several characters and each time he plays with one of them, like MMORPGs and the Diablo series, people refer to their characters as "toons". What is the source for this term?


Get Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) to recognise my xbox 360 controller

I got Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) from steam and need to play it with a controller (not keyboard and mouse, due to RSI). But was disappointed that it doesn't work with the xbox 360 controller - right analog stick and d-pad aren't recognised, and you need 2 sticks (or one stick and the d-pad at least) to control the game. So I tried another cheap USB controller I had and it didn't recognise that one properly either. So I tried using game's keyboard/mouse mode and a keyboard/mouse emulation program (it captures controller input and turns it into customisable keyboard/mouse commands) but the game changes how it controls to suit a real keyboard/mouse, and so it doesn't work properly (for example, you press up to go forward, right and left to turn, rather than pointing in the direction you wish to walk. In this game, on my controllers, that's pretty much unusable). Has anyone had success using a controller with this game? Is there some way I can mess with the controls in a config file and force it to recognise the 360 controllers axis properly? or mess with the controllers own drivers or whatever to swap things around? Is there a way I can force the game to use the controller-style input but accept keyboard and mouse commands (through my emulation program)? Anyone know what game engine was used? (maybe I can find hacks that worked on another game with the same engine).


N64 on HDTV white out on snow levels

I have my N64 connected to my Samsung Flat screen TV and I'm getting sound and audio, however on snow levels, the whole screen just whites out and (on Mario Kart) I can't see the track. I'm currently connecting it using the White / Red / Yellow connectors via a SCART cable (as I have a Wii connected to the composite inputs) but do also have a coaxial output on the N64 available (although no coax cable to connect! :D) Is there any solution to this?

Weapons upgraded automatically

I definitely crafted myself a Copper Broadsword. I remember because it was the first thing I crafted and it had taken me ages to find all the copper ore. Later on when I went to craft a new weapon (found silver by this point) I noticed my copper broadsword had a green line at the bottom (+12% damage if I remember rightly). My question is, when did this happen? I didn't do anything special when I crafted it (is that even possible?) so all I've been doing is running around digging and killing enemies. My only guess is I smashed a pot and inside was the same sword with this enchantment so it replaced it. Any ideas?


What's the level cap in Skyrim?

In Oblivion, the way the game worked, the max level possible was based solely on your choices for primary skills, and could vary anywhere from between 45 and 53 (with soft-caps at 29 and 35 in terms of NPC leveling) _or_ when you maxed all of your character attributes at 100. What's the level cap in Skyrim? Is it a hard or soft cap -- once you hit it, can you continue to 'level' your skills and unlock perks anyway?

How to change default pilot?

What happened to me yesterday:   1. I made a rocket   2. Put Bob in it   3. Start   4. Crash   5. Revert to vehicle assembly   6. Fix crash reason   7. Start And then I realized Bob wasn't there, Jeb was piloting my ship! How can I stop that? How can I prevent Jeb from pushing his butt into my rocket if I haven't invited him? If I chose a pilot for specific ship, I want my choice to be kinda persistent (until **I** change it), so how can I achieve that?

Why do older games play on my new machine if I buy them from Steam but not if I install from the original disc?

My question is why do some older games (actual physical disc version) not play on newer operating systems, but if you purchase digital download version, say from Steam, it plays fine? For example, F.E.A.R. will not load on my Windows 7 Ultimate from the disc but will play from Steam when I purchased it as a download.

Can you choose which way you move when casting Mirror Image?

When casting Mirror Image, you slide in one direction while the other Mirror Images created go in other directions, to misdirect the enemy. Sometimes, the sliding puts me in an advantageous position, and other times it moves me exactly where I didn't want to be. Is there any way to control which way I go when casting Mirror Image?


Bandits from quests appearing on fast travel or building exit

I just started a new character on 11th April 2012. After completing the kill- a-dragon-at-western-tower quest, and buying Breezehome, I now appear to have a greeting committee of bandits after fast travel. First, upon leaving Breezehome, the bandits from Embershard Mine appeared and were helpfully cut down by guards and citizens. This was the first go-kill- guys-over-there quest I picked up in the game, the bounty from Falkreath, and the quest was completed as soon as all the bandits died in Whiterun. I fast travelled to Falkreath to hand in the bounty to Nenya (2 transitions - Whiterun to Falkreath, Falkreath to Jarl's house). I then fast travelled to Riverwood, then to Whiterun (total 4 transitions), when the bandits from Valtheim Keep spawned and were killed by guards (Companions quest; incidentally the second go-kill-them-over-there quest I picked up). This may be a patch 1.5.26 bug, related to the issue described here: Why did enemies spawn around me when I fast traveled after the latest patch? I'm using Windows 7, Skyrim 1.5.26, SkyUI, and a couple of other mods (alchemy storage, weapon crafting, better horses). Is anyone else getting this or similar behaviour? Added Observations: It seems that going into Breezehome for the first time after getting the quest to kill the bandits from Halted Stream Camp from The Bannered Mare spawns the bandits in the house. After some testing, it appears that fast travelling to Riverwood will cause the quest marker to appear in Whiterun, and the bandits to spawn there after fast travelling to Whiterun. I also notice that the spawn point seems to be the doorway of Breezehome. What in Tamriel is going on?


How do I avoid night missions?

I had some trouble getting good results in night missions, because my team has a severe disadvantage due to the lowered field of view. I guess I could simply avoid this by waiting for a specific time before sending in my troops. During which time of day is a night mission triggered?


What's a good way for me to find a Katana, aside from Zed's Demise?

So I'm level 41 and I just got to the Jungle, but I haven't seen a Katana since level 30. I found a Frail Katana on the beach of the first area at around level 30 inside of a metal chest. Since then, I have been checking shops and chests and enemies and what-have-you, yet I still have not seen any other Katanas. Aside from Zed's Demise (I'm not that far yet), is there any certain way to obtain a Katana?
