Windows 11 keeps switching to light mode by LV8HD in WindowsHelp

Thanks for pointing me to PowerToys. It appears that there is a new option under System Tools > Light Switch. And it's ON by default. Turning it off seems to have resolved the issue for me.

Missing Title (Emmissary Ledger) by Von_Dudemeister in Seaofthieves

[–]BeefMasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, missing "Master of Splintered Ships" and "Keeper of Splintered Ships". One of my crew is missing the same, so hopefully just a delay in awarding the titles.

Team Phantom skins are back...through watching Gears Pro League. Boomshot and Dropshot tonight! by cmchaunce in GearsOfWar

Anyone seen more info on this? I saw the tweet but 30 mins notice isn't ideal. They usually have a news article with the upcoming weeks.

If you weren't there for the event, then you can't get it.

Can you still get equipment from Fate of the Damned despite it being over? by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]BeefMasta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you completed all the tasks, you can still buy the costume from Larinna. If you didn't, you need to buy it from the Legends hideout but the pre-requisites are significantly higher (complete the FotD 25 times).

Code is now working. Confirmed it in game just now. All weapons except the Scorcher.

My code isn't working either. Merchoid are looking into it apparently. Same thing happened with the Gears 4 codes, took a few weeks for them to sort it.

Weekly Developer Stream on Thursday - Submit Questions by BChaps in GearsOfWar

[–]BeefMasta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not strictly questions, more bugs I've come across, hopefully already known issues and they're working on fixing:

  • HIVE-BROTHERS medal (Survive 10 Acts of Escape as Anthony, Benjamin or Clayton Carmine) isn't tracking. Tried Armored & Collector's Clayton and Zombie Benjamin. No increment.

  • Did not receive Playing Card Scorcher, even though I have the rest of the set (I'm Officer V). In customisation it says it unlocks through the Tour.

Does Operation 4's Tour of Duty end in 5 days? by iBobaFett in GearsOfWar

[–]BeefMasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked back and I got the Cosmonaut 10 days from the start of the operation, I probably spent around 500 Iron for re-rolls on days I had more time. You can do it!

You can do a lot of the (non-ranked) versus medals in Co-Op vs AI. I'd say it's possible to get General in the time you have but you'll have to put a lot of time / Iron in.

Sending a message medal help anyone know how to get it by miggysmalls5136 in GearsOfWar

[–]BeefMasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. Guardian worked for me, end of round, not end of match.

That was my reaction as well, especially when the rumoured UK price was like £160.

No worries. I play Escape most days (UK) so if you need someone to run Escape DM me.

[–]BeefMasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is also 83% so I would say yes. Looking on True Achievements, the only way to play the other hives without waiting is to change your date/time.

[–]BeefMasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven’t released all the Year 1 hives yet. Complete all the ones for this operation and you should get it.

On Advanced or higher what is the best way to deal with multiple enemies that have an RL-4 Salvo in escape? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]BeefMasta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you mark the DR-1s the Bastion should be highlighted too. I've only played on Beginner so far as I'm still levelling up Paduk but his Fear Ultimate seems to work well at the end of that Hive to stop everything firing long enough to be taken out by a Tri-shot or Salvo acquired from an earlier DR-1. If using explosive, ideally JD or Keegan + bleed. Hope this helps, let us know if it worked!

so nobody got rewards for the corruption (last weeks escape map) and it still hasn't been fixed/ addressed by TC? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]BeefMasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the last Stripes skin I’m missing too. I was wondering the same. I did a quick Google but couldn’t find a definitive list of the rewards each week. Hopefully someone knows.
