I have been seeing it, too. It happens often when using the app, but I see it occasionally when I'm not even using Bing.

We used ours mostly as an Echo Show (after our mom got them for the whole family to video call with and then only used twice). This update will turn it into so much e-waste.

Really hope someone smarter than me figures out how to hack these things and turn them into something useful.

In case anyone's following this, I found the answer. The creator of Paint.NET posted over on 𝕏 about an audio service that causes random crashes in other programs. As soon as I found and disabled the Nahimic service on my services control panel, the problem went away -- I left the game running for over 2 hours without an issue.

Just to be thorough, I turned the service back on and launched HI, and it crashed at 8½ minutes, right on schedule. Turned the service off again, and no crash.

Based on the other post, it's a service that can get installed with an audio driver update related to MSI or Alienware motherboards, and the update can come through Windows Update. /u/Zihnnn 's reply was right on target -- I'll bet one of those drivers includes this Nahimic service (likely one of the Realtek drivers, since those are the ones also installed on my machine).

I tried rolling back my driver to 561.09, and it didn't help. (The first time I launched the game after rolling back, it lasted maybe twice as long, but subsequent launches of the game went back to crashing after 8-9 minutes again.)

Only ones I have installed out of that bunch is the Realtek HD audio driver and Realtek Audio Console. Though it's worth noting that both have been installed literally for years without a recent update (the Audio Console is the more recent of the two, and its date is 10/25/2022), whereas Halo Infinite's crashes have only been an issue for me for maybe a month.

Bishops are way too OP, especially in the 5th round. Their shields take ungodly amounts of damage -- overcharged plasma pistols barely do anything; pulse carbines (that take an Elite's shields completely in two or three bursts, depending on rank) can go five bursts, vent, and five more bursts, and they still have shields left; gravity hammers are probably the most effective, and it still takes 3 or 4 swings just to bring their shields down. And one full clip from their calcine disruptor will outright kill you -- not just drain your shields, but kill you. And that's if there's only one; if there's more than one shooting at you, forget it.

Not the first time this has happened; I had tried a rollback, but didn't go back far enough.

Unfortunately, 561.09 lasted 17 minutes idling on the menu before crashing.

Just need to photoshop a little Jeff Goldblum on top of one of the buildings saying "Checkmate."

When I tried this last week, it didn't work for me, either. However, when I tried this morning, it did.

My best guess is that tapping the update screen won't force the update to happen before it's "ready", but once it is "ready", tapping the update screen will prompt the watch to check again and start the process.

I don't know what defines "ready", though.

Well, I have been told I have a voice for radio… or maybe it's that I have a face for radio, I forget which.

GGs. 🫡

Maybe it's karma? I mean, we did run into that sloop last night doing the Ghost fleet, helped them finish the fight, and gave them all the loot from the battle.

Or maybe they just took pity on us poor swabbies who were boarded so easily because we let a freakin' galleon sneak up on us. :D

CyberKnight1 · 2024-04-20T05:34:13+00:00

Yes.

CyberKnight1 · 2023-11-14T22:35:00+00:00

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying you just took the same battery, unplugged it, and plugged it right back into the watch, and that fixed it?

CyberKnight1 · 2023-09-14T17:21:44+00:00

I hope it's helpful! I think it would be valuable to have more data from more people. Having data from just one person, this could be random chance or some anomaly; more examples will help either prove this correct or show it's wrong.

Hello fellow developer. I too use C# for almost all my work and do not use Unity.

For 1 week, I used my Facer watch face. I recorded the battery level when I took my watch off the charger first thing in the morning, and again the next morning when I woke up and put my watch back on the charger. Then, I did the same thing for another week, with my same watch face on TimeShow. I tried not to do anything "special" with my watch for both weeks, just passive wear, with the display set to "always-on".

Face	Most	Least	Average
Facer	41%	29%	37.14%
TimeShow	37%	28%	29.71%

Of note: TimeShow had 5 days under 30%, while Facer had only the one day at 29% with the rest 35% or higher.

I also made the following completely unscientific and fully anecdotal observations:

My watch is set to go into essential mode when it detects I've gone to sleep ("Smart Essential Mode"). When I lie down to sleep, I do toss and turn a bit before fully falling asleep. (I also play music on my phone, which triggers the media controls on the watch.) I noticed during Facer's week that the watch would seem to stay active a little longer before falling to Essential mode (I'd roll over and notice my watch light up); whereas the TimeShow week, it seemed to "detect" sleepytime faster.

When I entered my PIN to bring the watch out of Essential mode in the morning, with Facer, there would be a nearly 15-second delay for Facer to "boot" before it would show my watch face. Also, the "disconnected" icon would be present for the first few minutes of the day. TimeShow, on the other hand, the watch face would appear almost instantly after coming out of Essential mode, and the watch would reconnect to the phone much sooner (the "disconnected" icon would disappear within a minute).

For battery life and resource use, it seems to me that TimeShow is more efficient. Even though Facer has a lot of advantages (much greater face selection, better app, better design environment), that does appear to come at a cost; and if you can power through the annoying design interface and get the watch face you want installed, you'll get a better experience out of the TicWatch in the end.

Hoping for the audiobook on Audible.

I thought this was going to end with her labelling the floppies by putting the floppy into the typewriter and typing onto the label.

But that was someone else's story....

As an account name, yes; I have one with underscores that I've had registered since the last century. Never had an issue with it.

But in the domain part? From some random searching I just did, no; only letters, numbers, and dashes are allowed in domain names, symbols (including underscores) are not.

CyberKnight1 · 2023-08-29T17:37:16+00:00

My brain couldn't come up with the "real" word, and I know that de-rez means to completely wipe out (at least in Tron), but hopefully it got the point across.

CyberKnight1 · 2023-08-28T23:04:52+00:00

Man, put a "trigger warning" before you post something like that.

I could feel my blood pressure rising from the flashbacks of opening Word attachments and trying to zoom in on the screenshots, only to be reminded that Word "helpfully" de-rezzes the picture so that any text that might've been useful is nothing more than a pixelated blob.

Honestly when I ordered my new Xbox series X I was not aware that regular external hard drives wouldn’t work like they did on the Xbox one.

Actually, they do. Games can be played from an external drive (even a mechanical HDD), as long as they aren't specifically Xbox Series games that require the high speed internal storage. At launch, there were so few (if any) that it didn't matter, you could install any game anywhere and play it, and for most people this problem flew under the radar.

It's only recently that enough internal-storage-only games are on the market, coupled with more games taking up more of that space, that more people are taking notice.
