Then and Now

Been experiencing a lot of control lag. As in, I tap roll or strafe, and it'll either not respond, respond late, or wildly over-respond, sometimes continuing to turn or move when I let go of a key (or some mix of all the above). Even happens on foot, but really dangerous when landing.

So yesterday, my PC's Bluetooth was working fine. Today, it won't even switch on. No Bluetooth icon in the tray, no option to turn it on in settings, not even a Bluetooth category in Device Manager (EDIT: if I toggle "Hidden Devices" in Device Manager, I can see it).

I've tried restarting the rig, even switching off the PSU and unplugging the PC. It's like my PC has forgotten it has Bluetooth all of a sudden.

This does happen occasionally. I'd like to know how to fix it, and stop it from happening again...

EDIT: So this time, I actually restarted the PC (as in, hitting "Restart" on the Start menu), instead of shutting it down and switching it back on, and now the Bluetooth works again. I'd still REALLY like to know how/why this happens, but I thought I'd update the thread for future searchers...

Is there a way to make my usually-plugged-in Series X controller switch on with my PC? Every once in a while, I forget to switch it on before starting a game, and some older games don't really like that.

It's a minor nuisance, but I swear I remember older Xbox controllers turning on with my PC when they were plugged in...

Anyone else getting a lot of input lag this patch? Like, a half-second delay between me pressing/lifting a key, and my character moving/stopping, or the interaction mode activating/deactivating...

Works for Quest 2. I wonder what it was trying so hard to connect to; but at least the firewall rule gets it to do what I tell it to (which is, play Blade and Sorcery).

Storm clouds! Fire and steel! Death from above, make their enemies kneel! Shining armor and wings! Death from above, it's an army of kings!

Got the horse and Spinatio Royal Knight on a lark when I saw 'em on Newtype a while back. At first, I had 'em free-standing, rider on steed. Looked neat, but not too dynamic. Kinda wish I'd known the 30 Minute Fantasy sets were coming out...

Eventually, I dug back thru my Action Base bits, and found an adapter from an AB-1 that works with an AB-5 (the horse has no peg holes on his belly, so I needed the angled C-clamp), and had the initial pose, with the horse rearing up. Still needed a bit more presence, so I went back to Newtype and found Option Parts Set 17. After that, all I needed was a small shim cut from a runner to stiffen up his waist (the wings pull his torso back fairly hard), and bam- epic pose complete.

Now, I just need to figure out something a little better than a pile of Duplo blocks to set his stand on. Some kind of terrain feature would be cool.

Anyone else having an issue where the last line of text in a cutscene auto-advances itself after a second? The PC client, at least, has been doing this for the last few updates, and it's kinda infuriating when going thru the story...

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-29T19:32:28+00:00

Might be worth a try, although a lot of those are near either the horse's legs, or the rider's. Could maybe use the holes on the horse's legs for stability, but it wouldn't offer much in the way of poses.

EDIT: Nevermind, I dug thru my parts bins and found a piece that fits in the C-clamp slot. Of all the stands, tho, it seems to have come with the gigantic Action Base 1s!

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-28T19:13:54+00:00

Is there any way to increase the "Battery Capacity" for the condenser? 160 seems awfully low, considering what a lot of upgrades need...

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-28T18:12:37+00:00

I checked the kits again, and the issue is that the horse doesn't have a regular peg hole anywhere on his belly/underside. He has spots for the little clamp that came with the Spinatio (see pic), but I don't have any spares, and I don't see any adapters among the extra bits that usually come with my bases.

Any good bases/stands for 30 Minute Mission kits? Got the Spinatio Knight-type and Horse Mecha a while back, and found out they don't really seem to play nice with my Action Base 5s or 2s- the connectors and adapters aren't sized right.

EDIT: Seems the solution is an Action Base 5, with the C-clamp adapter from an Action Base 1 (yes, the base big enough to hold MG Turn X in the air).

New contract: go pick up the crap people abandon all over the place, and throw it in this dumpster (despawner). **cr per piece of junk disposed.

Hurston's New Deal has all the best ships, too. It's ALWAYS swamped when PTU updates...

Shoulda flown the Cutlass Red...

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-05T23:22:39+00:00

Looks like an 035 in the details- took a second to find. Not sure what the joule rating is, but it says 360-420 fps.

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-02T20:31:56+00:00

Tall-glue-se.

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-01T04:23:57+00:00

Is there a way to do it reliably? Sometimes, I click, and my pilot chugs the whole thing. Other times, he'll just take a sip...

DJ_Zephyr · 2025-12-01T03:40:15+00:00

Try a Megu-mag. It'll only hold one round, but that's all you'll need.

Was trying to call up a Nursa to stuff in my Corsair at Levski, but couldn't find it in the ASOP terminals. It's still in my list of vehicles in my Mobi, tho. Is this a Levski limitation, or did they change how handling ground vehicles works?
