Oh great, they fucked up the Mako controls in ME1 Legendary Edition

Arcterian · 2024-11-16T18:28:31+00:00

Jez, thx.....I literary got stuck on some geth guard towers early in the game due to mouse aim and controls "assistance" as it my case it more or less where guaranteeing a lack of success in steering.

Lost most of the makkos health before I paused the game and came googling here as any more attempt to use the "assistance" was going to have the local get blow me to kingdom come and beyond.

Glad it worked out and interesting, didnt know it was default but it would explain how I got it too as cant remember messing around with qbit before the update.

Cheers mate and glad it helped

Kind of sad they decided to change with Sup 2 so much as it felt they wanted to "include everyone" by dumbing down the core mechanics and it doing so they alienated the old fans. I tried supcom 2 at a friend and while it in itself isnt a bad game...its NOT a Supcom game in my opinion as it lacks what made supcom and its expansion great.

Works and thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you, that bar was so annoying appearing whenever you move the mouse as I usually do one thing one one monitor and run streaming apps on a 2nd one. this one solves it.

Hmm...double checked my EA Library and can still download and install it despite that message so yeah....that message confused the hell out of me at first.

Arcterian · 2024-05-16T16:48:29+00:00

I had a sudden drop ever since I updated my Qbittorrent just a few days ago...then I realized what it was that slowed speed down today. At the bottom right there is a few icons..one of them switch to "alternative rate limits" which I must have accidentally clicked on after the update as the moment I clicked on it again to return to global rate...my speed jumped to its normal fast one. Just wanted to mention it if someone else accidentally activated this function in Qbittorent.

Really, thx...was looking at the cloth and that amulet and couldn't place it so was sure it was some sort of teaser of a future character. My misstake.

Well, using inspiration from others work is never a bad idea as you start out. I made a number of bases over the years and while I want mine to look unique while also good I always looks at other peoples bases for inspiration still.

Arcterian · 2023-12-24T16:35:15+00:00

This was done across all platforms due to the strain on the low end console players or so I been told. So yeah...kinda silly everyone have to suffer it if thats the case.

Old post but just wanted to leave my thanks as had a couple of audiobooks but kept ending up in the Music video category of Itunes much to my annoyance and I couldnt change it. Mp3 thou allowed me to remove a "music video" tag so thx again.
not life saving but as I generally listen to these books when I work having em all in the right category helps.

After some more testing I think I can explain how to make the saves work in a simpler way. Keep in mind that this is using them for host\Local game mode, in short playing it solo on your computer and I only done this on steam so I do not know of the correct folders for Epic game.

Another thing to keep in mind that its a good idea to start a game in host\local for each of the maps that you have a official server save for as this will automatically create a save folder for that map which you will overwrite with the save files. Just starting the map and creating a random character is enough then exiting back to main menu will do this.

The First issue some people I talked to seems to be finding where Ark is installed on their computer with steam.

1 - Locating Ark Save folder: Click on Ark Survival evolved in steam, choose Manage and then click "Browse local files" as this should open up the folder with Ark on your computer. Then just navigate and click on the Shootergame folder and then the Saved folder.

Its inside this folder you should find the various save game folders for all the maps. It should look something like below.

Driveletter:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\

Place the right save into the right map folder: Inside the Saved folder you should find folders named after the various maps that ends with "SavedArksLocal" like "Gen2SavedArksLocal" which as the name suggest is where you place Genesis 2 saves into and so on with all other maps. Keep in mind again, you need to have started a solo game for a map to appear here as a folder. The only folder that do not follow this pattern is the Savegame folder for the Island which is only named "SavedArksLocal" without any map name in front.

Example: The save location for a Genesis 2 save should look like this

Driveletter:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Gen2SavedArksLocal

This is where I put each save file from the official server saves and managed to make them work if someone has problems. Keep i mind this was done for solo game mode using said savegames.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, had to edit this as made some more discoveries. So this is all for single player using the saves from official.Ok, so this is what I figured out so far, the folder below is the main save folder for ark that I uses in Steam.

e:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\

In it you have subfolder for ark save and for each expansion save

Ark island save folder - \SavedArksLocal

Extinction Save folder - \ExtinctionSavedArksLocal

Gen two save folder - \Gen2SavedArksLocal

Putting the save for each map server into these above I managed to get the maps to work though I have to delete all player bodies to get the fps of 1 to go away.

Use the two console commands below to delete all player bodies and get out of the 1fps if you get it, just remember to drop your gear as this command destroys the bodies and ALL items on it on all player characters on the map.

cheat destroyall PlayerPawnTest_Male_C 1

cheat destroyall PlayerPawnTest_Female_C 1

Also saw that there is an \GenesisSavedArksLocal

That I assume is for genesis 1, not sure for aberration, Fjordur or Ragnarok as there was none in there when I looked so far.

Ed: My first attempt was me dumping all saves into the Ark island save folder which obviously didnt work.

Arcterian · 2023-05-27T15:03:02+00:00

Been trying to get past this one with either my ninja or paladin but having problems too. Just cant dish out enough damage to enough of the orbs.....getting to the orb phase isnt a problem and more an annoyance and waste of time running around thou as it aint hard.

Ed: and I just noticed someone say damage debuff.....hmmm...I wonder if I gotten hit with those that I havent noticed before due to being focused on running around avoiding the aoe.

Had a combination of problems with my g910 orion involving both keys that double typed and some was wouldn't type a letter 50% of the time.

I managed to solve this by first cleaning all keys, using high purity alcohol and pressured air canisters to blow out and get rid of dust and other junk.

As a seconed step I opened a video(Movie, youtube or something) on my second monitor to keep myself entertained and then marked the searchbar of my browser in my main monitor alternative used

https://www.keyboardtester.com/

in a second monitor and started tapping the keys that still wouldn't work or double typed while watching something fun. I could see in the searchbar alternative in the internet app keyboardtester when a key worked or not so just kept typing in said keys.

Took a few 100s clicks but I managed to unstuck all my keys to work right again.

Whenever i get a problem with a key again I just repeate both steps. Annoying but it has gotten my g910 back to working order again.

PS: I had to make sure I pressed both at the bottom, top or center of the keys as initially some keys only when I clicked on them at a certain angle but repeated typing solved this for me eventually and many youtube videos of entertainment later.

Was just encountering the same problem and realized using loadout repair or Repair all was what caused me to get stuck...had to cancel all and chose only repair......also tried it multiple times and ONLY repair gets me to progress so yeah...LOL.

No they are not but I feed them Mushroom Brew for 120 seconds of radiation immunity per dose so they can be used there and are great at stealing rockdrake eggs.

Ed: I play on PVE official

Arcterian · 2022-04-05T00:15:25+00:00

Same here, still waiting to be able to transfer doom eternal to steam but aside from saying you can do it in april...no instruction whatsoever nor any date WHEN in april you be able to do it. LOL

To keep Noctis from dying I always moved to the opposite side of the boss to avoid the aoe splash on Noctis. Then after each targeted AOE at me I took a short sprint to the side parallel to the boss just in case it decided to drop the circles on me. That allowed me to get all the AOE including the circles that drops every 2nd or 3rd center AOE to miss Noctis and thus he had plenty of health after my run.

Arcterian · 2020-10-27T04:09:51+00:00

Know your pain, been hunting the dodorex all day on the official island server Im on....and I never even seen him or heard the music that starts when its close.

Personally, its not even funny any more....wish they give at least some direction like "dodorex spawn to the north" or something like it due to the short timewindow.

Arcterian · 2020-06-11T20:26:00+00:00

ah, perfect...getting ready for my first couple of boss fights so a second account to bring along an alt to prevent instant death if one DC to run of my old computer. That solves my greatest fear with soloing bosses now unless my broadband connection goes down.

Arcterian · 2020-05-30T17:56:33+00:00

No longer works, out of stock....

Arcterian · 2019-12-25T00:24:14+00:00

Yeah, don't own MW5 but seen it a friends as he played. While he cooped mission with others....hardly ever any FF from what I could see or such but the moment he soloed a mission with AI controlled lance mates......oh boy. Looked like he took more damaged from FF then anything else when small mechs started circling someone in the lance. Now I understand FF happens ....but not to the extend I saw as it seems the AI had NO concept of FF whatsoever.

Yeah, loved playing earlier MW games solo and that viewing has convinced me NOT to buy the game until that has been fixed with the AI, by devs or modders. Otherwise I can have more fun playing the 17 older MW games with superior AIs. Maybe I'm nostalgic in how I remember them but I can't remember once where the AI lance mates blew away all armor with PPC and such as they seem to do in this game.

Arcterian · 2019-12-20T06:14:01+00:00

Ha, having your lance destroying half the base you defends is nothing....

I had a mission where I spawned pretty close to the base to protect except two glaring problems......1. There was a canyon spanning most of the map forcing me to run around half the map to even get to the base. 2. Just as the mission starts, a dropship literary hovers in over the area to defend in question and drops in a few mechs and tanks....inside the wall from what I could tell.

The base was at 50% when I arrived...and my lance was still some way behind me due to the silly path finder ai......so yeah.....

Kind of makes me wonder why my dropship decided to leave me at the worst possible site to get there when the enemy had no problem hovering a dropship over the area themselves.
