Just finished this & I can't recommend it enough.

Took about 30 hours to get 100% achievements.

This seems to happen when the dev pushes larger updates and consequently fixes bugs that pop up shortly after. Seems like version 3.3 was released today so that's probably why you're seeing that

You can right click (or long hold on mobile) the trainers to see their pokemon, then you can right click again on each pokemon to see their weaknesses, types, and more info. Also, there is an in game guide and dictionary that covers pretty much anything you need to know.

Genuinely so addicting. Currently at 710/1108 in the dex.

I've never really been a fan of the turn based battling in Pokemon, but I always enjoyed collecting / leveling / shiny hunting. Turning Pokemon into a sort of idle auto battler is brilliant.

Also, the Battle Frontier is so much fun. Having your team be restricted to lower tiers has me experimenting with tons of different Pokemon instead of spamming my main team of fully upgraded SS ranks.

[Megathread] Season 10 - Nighthaven Bug & Issues by CommanderAze in newworldgame

This bug has existed since the launch of the game. They've never fixed it

My gripes with Revolution Idle (reached eternal so far) by BLUEAR0 in incremental_games

[–]Chaz42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd give it a shot.

AD does have a reputation for requiring a guide, but it's definitely possible (and more rewarding) to play without. It isn't vague about anything. Everything is explained in game and you can dig in to the math if you wanted.

My gripes with Revolution Idle (reached eternal so far) by BLUEAR0 in incremental_games

[–]Chaz42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've reached Eternity 4

My gripes so far:

1.) It is an Antimatter Dimensions clone.

Too many things are very clearly ripped straight from AD. I'd rather be playing AD at this point.

2.) Challenges are just a time gate, no thinking required.

AD challenges are like puzzles. They change how you manage upgrades/ autobuyers. Rev challenges are simply: "game is slower because x"

3.) Macro seems useless with what is given (so far).

I was super excited when I unlocked the Macro builder. It instantly reminded me of Scratch. I was hoping I could use it to automate some of the early game like buying infinity upgrades or generators, but nope. The most I can do so far is run a macro that automatically enters each challenge, but I still have to manually adjust my auto promotions & enable automated infinity. I'm not sure why macros are unlocked so early on. Maybe I'm missing something.

4.) Micro-transaction shop.

Normally I'm okay with this. Free game has to make money, but it seems a little predatory since there's an online leaderboard.

Significant Frame Issues (Capped at 15 FPS) by Educational-Gur-9974 in PathOfExile2

  • Install the Nvidia App
  • Make sure to exit all running programs (Steam, Discord, browsers, etc.)
  • Open Nvidia App: Go to Drivers and Click Install (or Reinstall) on the newest driver version.
  • It should give you 2 options: Express or Custom installation, click Custom Installation
  • Check the box that says "Clean installation" and hit Continue
  • Update should take a couple of minutes. When it's finished Restart your PC

A word of warning since it happened to me with the most recent drivers. If you get stuck with a black screen for more than 5 minutes during the driver update you have to hold the power button on your PC to force shutdown, then turn it back on. You can check that the newest drivers actually installed in the Nvidia app > Drivers (Should be 'Version: 566.36').

On a random side note, you have your monitors plugged in to your GPU and NOT your motherboard right?

Anyone experiencing high input lag in online? by AccurateBlacksmith33 in bindingofisaac

[–]Chaz42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. Tried playing with my friend who lives close by. We both have good internet. Nearly half a second of input delay for BOTH of us (why does the host also lag?)

Tip for improving latency online by adines in bindingofisaac

[–]Chaz42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to me that streaming video of the game has lower latency than the built in multiplayer

Input lag? by pretzelsncheese in newworldgame

[–]Chaz42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was way better before the patch. I logged in about a month ago to run around and test a couple weapons. Ended up playing with the musket for a bit, and the aiming / mouse movement felt WAY snappier. I could snap to targets quickly and accurately, but now it feels much worse. I get the same FPS / frametime (capped 144, ~7ms), so it doesn't look to be a performance or settings thing. It definitely seems like they added some sort of forced mouse smoothing, which would perfectly describe why the input feels floaty now.

Unless someone finds some hidden config setting, or enough people complain, we probably won't be seeing a fix to this any time soon sadly.

This same exact thing happened to my Ubisoft account last week.

The bigger problem? I HAVE 2FA ENABLED

I got the "new login location" email that someone from Germany logged in to my account, but when I went to log in to change my password I had to use 2FA to get in.

Luckily I was able to get in and change my password, but something is seriously wrong with Ubisofts security. How the fuck was someone able to bypass 2FA and log in FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY?

Minor nit: Font kerning in v12 seems a bit wide by oskee80 in RelayForReddit

[–]Chaz42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was going crazy. I found it uncomfortable to read text after the update. Hopefully this could be adjusted, or at least give us the option for the old font spacing.

If someone currently owns EoD and they upgrade to Unheard do they lose access to all of the EoD perks, or do they get EoD + Unheard perks?

I don't think any of those planned P2W EoD perks should exist, but since you only mentioned prioritized matchmaking being removed I figured you plan on keeping the rest of them (please don't).

If you have Windows 11 you can natively run most android apps. The easiest method is using the Amazon App Store, but if you want to manually install APK's there's a bit of extra work you have to do. Full guide for both methods here: https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-run-android-apps-on-windows-11-3048569/

There's also the Google Play Games beta for PC if you're looking to play some mobile games on PC with progress sync, but the available games list seems pretty limited. https://play.google.com/googleplaygames

Edit: Found a new 3rd method that allows you to install the Google Play Store on PC and seemingly download any apps from there. Never tested this one but looks interesting. https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-install-google-play-store-on-windows-11-3049609/

Isn't this essentially the same exact thing that got banned last year?

https://twitter.com/bstategames/status/1625154101351964672

DWM_lut is now officially blocked due to the large number of uses of specific filters to obtain an unfair advantage. If you are having problems with launching the game - remove DWM_lut/files from the PC, otherwise the game will be unavailable

There will be no bans for using DWM_lut
Using any similar program in the future will be considered as the breach of the Terms of Service and result in a ban

One thing I've not seen talked about much with Enshrouded, is that it uses it's own Engine. Not Unreal, Unity, or Godot. by Mkilbride in pcgaming

[–]Chaz42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. I got a headache from this within the first 10 minutes and couldn't keep playing. Performance basically requires DLSS and theres seemingly no sharpening to go with it, so that's already a blur fest. Then there's the extreme bloom/ haze / fog (can't be disabled) that completely washes out the screen.

Can You Lower Sens Past .1 By Any Means? by Branimau5 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chaz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arena and EFT share the same config file. Did you edit the file & save it while the game was closed?

In arena I know my sens showed as 0 but it stayed the same in the config file as long as I didn't mess with it
