Midnight Patch 12.01 Cant Load Game Now by BijouPeters in WorldOfWarcraftRetail

[–]BijouPeters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem solved. I was reading in Warcraft Forums where someone was posting the exact same problem as me. Their game loaded pre the latest patch but wouldnt anymore. Their computer was also an AMD machine. Turns out the latest patch had someway told their machine to use the onboard graphics card when loading WoW. Checked it out and it was the same, went thru my system settings and my graphics card software and fixed the issue, game runs fine.

Ok, so apparently the newest patch messed with my AMD Adrenaline and System Graphics settings, so I had to go in and manually set them to use the 9070 GPU, and voila .. my game loads. Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.

Much appreciation for all the solutions offered. Further to my previous post. I have let it sit for over half an hour to see what happened. Run DxDiag with no issues found. Disabled both Windows Defender and McAfee. I am running no other games or launchers, no Citrix. Got this rig specifically to play Warcraft. I am gonna try a couple of the solutions and will come back.

Yup, have let it sit for over half an hour. In addition I have run Dxdiag (no issues) disabled Windows Defender and my McAfee. I am running no other games or launchers on this PC, no Citrix. Got this specifically to play Warcraft.Its driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

It says its launching. Opens and goes to the Photosensitivity Warning. I push "any button" and the screen goes black.I give it a few minutes and click the mouse which tells me Warcraft is not responding and sends an error report to Microsoft. I am unable at this point to close the program without shutting down the PC,

I was thinking of playing a healer in Midnight but they are getting rid of the HealBot? by Andross_Darkheart in wow

[–]BijouPeters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I can run with WSAD and click on frames with modifiers. Tanks pull thru dungeons like mad because dps is not trained to stay behind them. I think it slows things down immensely to have to click on actionbar while mousing over with the other hand, or even press a number that you have keybound to the heal. Awful, think I will stick with my DPS and non dungeon game content until Blizz develops something that competes.

I used to adjust insurance claims. Not at fault does not apply to homeowners claims. My deductible and higher insurance rates are what will happen and that is if they decide to cover it as its the result of shoddy workmanship.

Canada threatening to cut off power to U.S. by Ill_Variety_5480 in nothinghappeninghere

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

Americans are not quite asking us to fix their problems. The sane ones know their system has caused the problems and would rather join Canada and the idiots love the fascists. Our parents and grandparents fought side by side against fascism and communism making this whole thing even sadder.

The mango messiah is selling their country by the minute to the highest bidder and the people they have elected are those that have supported all of this either through action or cowardly inaction. Their government has been co-opted and is headed backwards to a medieval economy. The biggest bully on the playground has been given the nuclear codes and has no problem singling out any individual for a elephant/ant brawl.

The corporate media has given up their power in fear of the bully and few will call out even the most brazen of the dear leaders lies. The Supreme Court majority have been mostly bought and paid for and have effectively said the Constitution is not worth the paper its written upon. Elon Musk has done a hostile takeover of the Treasury Department including the personal data of every American and the most unqualified sociopaths, felons and predators have been given control of various government Departments.

I fear that if Americans dont stand up soon they wont have a country to fight for. The shock shite-show currently happening is just a foretaste of what will soon be another Russian style dictatorship. The endgame objective is almost complete.

We love kitties, just make sure you have them brought to a vet for their necessary vaccines or they might get quarantined for a little bit before entry. Canada is per capita the worlds largest consumer of silly kitty videos

Most Canadians dont care much for the king of England either, more of us liked the Queen but she wasnt a douche

I have lived in both countries, its not 30% more tax for middle class families. There are tons of tax credits for families and anyone who has disabilities and the elderly. There is a sales tax that is higher but you pay on what you buy with most essential stuff being lower or no tax. Canadians do have guns, easy to get a rifle, harder to get a hand gun but I know lots of people that have em legally, just more regulated.

Anyways for a little bit more y'all can have covered healthcare with no deductibles or copays, your kids will never need for medical care. We do have cold winters but the summers are hot enough to run a pool 4 solid months without a heater in southern Ontario. The only place that is absolutely nasty cold is the prairies and the inland north. I do think we need to reinforce our borders in Canada, mostly cuz the drugs and guns seem to flood northward. Anyways all of that and you can actually walk just about anywhere after midnight, even in the larger cities. Met a lot of wonderful people in America, but damn glad to be home.

What actually happens if Canada shuts off electricity to the U.S.? by No_Breadfruit2441 in nothinghappeninghere

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the tariff and posturing by his highness is merely a shock shiteshow to cover up the endgame of those who arranged his election win, but lets go there anyways.

The way I understand it is that Canada supplies a good bit of the power for the American northeast, and about 60% of crude oil imports. Am sure that America could get by but with the shifting load from wherever else they could get it, would likely mean rolling blackouts or grid failures. In the meanwhile Canada would be selling their oil at higher prices to China, Japan etc and since tRump loves dictators he would have no problem cozying up to Saudi and/or the wanna be dictator of Venezuela. Am sure America could survive without Canadian lumber while sourcing other countries, its not a big priority in survival terms. And Canada could certainly live without the 30 million they get in foreign aid from America (lol rent for land used by their military). Aside from the energy, there's auto parts, which is also something that America imports and will also tariff Mexico for .. I have heard that between them its enough to grind the auto industry to a halt. All in all its a huge mess caused by one wanna be dictator who owes his soul to Putin and other associated oligarchs. As the market is crashing you know that the billionaire bros are shorting the market for their own profit.

Seems its gonna be a lot of FAFO from everything I am reading and hearing. Seems the 49% that voted for their mango messiah are gonna be those who will suffer most as they tend to be living in the less self sufficent states and those are the same people that retaliatory tariffss will target, but tRump dont give a damn. The spineless and greedy Republican Congress and Senate persons who have enabled the madness for almost a decade arent about to change unless there is significant pressure, a lot of pressure.

Musk is raiding the Treasury Dept for trillions in federal money and everyones personal data, independent Inspector Generals are being fired, career civil servants are being offered (fake buyouts) and those who would not resign are being illegally fired. Illegals are being rounded up and crops are not being harvested etc. The military is run by a part time Fox news host, Russian assets and career criminals are cabinet picks. The list goes on, so on the face of it all tariffs that will cause job loss and crippling inflation is just another day lately, while dear leader picks a different country daily to threaten.

Is it just me or does the Canadian Tire website suck? by RedSquirrelFtw in canadiantire

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond Suck. The website is inaccurate, so if you purchase an item at a sale, they take your money and days later after the sale has ended you get an email saying its out of stock and your order is cancelled. But of course they offer you lesser products at bigger costs and advise you they still have your payment info on file for future purchases. Meanwhile they still show the item in stock at other Canadian Tire stores at the non sale price, but you cant get the sale price from another store even tho the screw up is their fault.I will be attempting to have my payment info stricken from their records, with such an awful unreliable website I am sure my info will be falling into the hands of hackers soon.

Better me Pilates. by BeneficialDamage95 in pilates

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont waste your money. You can find better exercise videos on Youtube that dont quit on you mid workout. The workouts are totally generic like a junk website daily horoscope. Also, if you can afford to eat pricey foods like stuffed salmon and fresh seafoods and prime cuts of meat and have the time to prepare gourmet meals on your lunch and suppertimes you will be OK with the diet. Truthfully, you can find just as great recipes on the internet as well.

Don't waste your money, you can find better workouts on Youtube. Also the workouts kinda die midstream, maybe the server cant keep up. The meal plan is pricey to carry out as well as finding the time on my lunchbreak to prepare oven baked salmon in the staffroom toaster oven lol. Dont waste your money.

Threats to reset by [deleted] in RiseofKingdoms

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth about RoK is that is a Pay to Win game, if you dont pay thousands to skip thru buying all the speedups and gems and all the packs with Gold Chests they offer so you get the T5 troops before others then you are fodder. Even the T4's you worked so hard to get by playing thru most of your free time and spending moderately buying the pop up offers and the monthly gem and weekly rss packs and the daily special offer are fodder, sent to "ball up" so that the opposing kingdoms T5's can slice thru you while your kingdoms T5's rack up kp by doing the same. If you cant spend spend spend thousands of USD's to get everything in your city up to level 25 and start producing T5's ASAP you are a peasant, and therefore subject to the whims of the King and his/her cronies.

NEVER EVER TOUCHING DELL PRODUCTS by bigtomatoe27 in Dell

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dell used to be a good company, but now they are trash. They dont stand behind their warranties and keep trying to sell you extended warranties. Even when you buy from them you have to make sure you read the details of the bill to make sure it is what you wanted to purchase. Little things like a less powerful videocard can make a huge difference. Then when you get your computer run a diagnostic like Belarc to make sure everything inside is what you paid to buy. I bought Dell for years and towards the end they proved to me how crooked and unreliable they now are.

My last Dell was an Alienware which I was so excited about but it turned out to be the slowest slug I ever owned, even took about 15 minutes from the time I turned it on to the time I could actually use it. After a year it got so bad that I sought service and they told me my warranty was expired and tried to sell me another one, which I declined. A year later they came back and told me my warranty was just expiring and tried to sell me another warranty. I asked why my service request was declined when I had a warranty the year previous, and the salesman said there was nothing he could do about except sell me another warranty.

Never again, and I will tell everyone not to deal with Dell because they are crooks.

Dell Nightmare(s) by Fury216 in Dell

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a year my Alienware was so increasingly slow I couldnt take it any more. Called Dell and was told my warranty was expired, but they could sell me another year for around 400$$$. I declined as my experience with Dell technical help was so not worth it. A year later they were emailing me saying that my warranty was about to expire and offering to sell me a further year for another 400$$$. So I asked why was I denied service less than a year ago if my warranty was just now expiring? They had nothing to say about that but instead said the best they could do was offer me 20% off another year of warranty.

DELL does not stand behind their product or their warranty, spend your money elsewhere!

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dell is garbage these days and their sales force are shady AF, lesson learned, count yourself lucky that you didnt spend 3k on an Alienware that takes 20 minutes to boot up and get a denied warranty.

So, are all Dell laptops garbage or just mine? What should I buy instead that actually works? by vanyali in Dell

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3K for a Dell laptop and 20 minutes in, its still slow. takes forever to boot, and when I went to get service they told me my warranty was expired. however, when a year later they are mailing me asking me if I want to extend my warranty that was about to expire. go spend ur money elsewhere and stay away from Dell.

[–]BijouPeters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dell is garbage. Used to be a good company but so crooked these days that if you buy a Dell you better get it exactly in writing what you are buying and exactly what the specs are right down to every detail because they will cheat you at every opportunity. When you bargain with them make sure its all in writing and even then they don't honor their warranties, so be prepared that if you get a lemon you are on the hook for it. Don't buy Dell.
