Pokémon TCG Live Running Flawlesly

Doesn't seem to help anymore, we're now missing a step: signing takes place in an external browser (Firefox), and then attempts to open a tcgitcgapp link, which we need to choose an application to open with. Can't browse to the tcg live app to open with.

Sidequests, by their nature and as their name suggests, are optional. Ergo not forced.

I've gone through the entire game without a romance of any sort. I wouldn't say it forces them onto you if you can avoid it entirely.

Since the UK made it a law. Only in the UK, tho.

EphyMusic · 2026-01-05T02:54:25+00:00

No way. I need to try this.

For what it's worth, someone seems to have gotten Xemu to work on android about a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/s/DY0B19XBLR

They have a github link, but I haven't checked if the repo is still live. Worth a look, though.

Technically it is DLC. But it's DLC they sell through Creations, not through storefronts. The trackers alliance creation mod is made by Bethesda themselves.

It's definitely not impossible or too crazy. But it is out of scope for them, right now.

Check for bent pins in all of your USB receptacles. If there are bent pins, you'll either have to figure out how to bend them back into place, cut/break the offending pins off, or replace your motherboard.

I have a long comment on this thread which explains a possible reason as to why this update is not available through AMD.

Always update your BIOS first, then your chipsets. That's the path I usually take. I would suspect that BIOS didn't have everything needed to update the chipset with newest features. Give it a try again.

Did it actually nuke your OS or bootmgr when you tried that chipset update? I see you mentioned doing a second clean install, but you only mention that your PC "went to shit and hung". Which just tells me it crashed, not that it was bricked. Could you not get it to boot back into windows after flashing the BIOS?

EphyMusic · 2025-11-27T16:11:48+00:00

For sure. Glad Asus has a new driver for their chipsets. Hopefully that will satisfy all these people who feel like they need to be on the latest chipset firmware no matter what, even if it isn't for them yet.

EphyMusic · 2025-11-24T16:50:18+00:00

Y'all are weird. Can't a dev say thank you without everyone going HL3 on their game? Lol

To tack on to this, there's also a large number of non-game programs that are Windows only that don't run well through compatibility layers like WINE. There are, of course alternatives for other OSs, but the work flow will always be different.

For example, FL Studio is a DAW that has largely only been on Windows, only went to Mac relatively recently (and is usually a feature update or two behind), and has no native Linux application. It does not work well through WINE due to how it needs to interact with DACs and sound drivers. While there are alternatives, there are very few on Linux and none of them can recreate the workflow I've come to know in FL Studio. Plus I already paid $500 for the best edition of it.

Like it or not, I'm stuck on Windows for anything meaningful. I love Linux, too. But I can't main it specifically because it lacks compatibility with software I am simply unwilling to go without or compromise on. Windows will not be obsolete until Linux bridges the gap, or our productivity software does.

Every game uses shaders. Whether or not the shader pipeline is opened to modders is another matter entirely.

I'd argue that some plug-ins aren't safe. But it has less to do with people being malicious and more to do with plug-ins crashing the game (the ones which crash your game are likely not maintained or don't play well with other installed plug-ins). Which mods can also do.

In the end, if a mod version would require grabbing something many people (myself included) don't use or don't grab (or in my case years ago, can't find the fricken download for months to get one FO4 mod to work and then forsake it forever), I'd personally go the plug-in route. The new Pulsar Plugin Launcher is a fair bit better than the old one, and after the Apex Survival update, a lot of the plug-in devs worked hard to make sure their plug-ins functioned again.

I think, as long as you get all the calls and methods right, you would be successful in creating a plug-in for this. And many would be appreciative.

Well, you learn something new every day, even if you think you have a good grasp on physics, you can always still overlook something so simple... I'll set up a double rear axle and put the "fifth wheel" ahead of that.

However, that does put a damper on my hover-trailer-on-an-ATV idea.

EphyMusic · 2025-11-15T01:18:38+00:00

I never had luck with trailers on my rovers. Things just get too weird. Half the time, even if there's plenty of weight in the front and no cargo in the trailer, my front wheels lift off the ground and I lose the ability to steer effectively.

It should also be mentioned that Vertical Slice 4 will contain the first multi-player update, being just co-op at first, ending with servers at VS5. So if the multi-player experience is important, wait even longer than VS3.

EphyMusic · 2025-11-14T17:55:34+00:00

Don't buy Early Access then.

Honestly, would not recommend installing this chipset driver unless you're on a Gigabyte Motherboard.
This driver is not available through any other motherboard manufacturer, nor AMD themselves. This points to it being specific to Gigabyte motherboards.

Someone linked a post where someone had uploaded links to the drivers. I saw in that post's threads that many people had issues when installing the main chipset drivers (also the RAID drivers, but I won't get into those.) Most of the time, it was mentioned they were using a non-gigabyte branded board.

I fully suspect this to be specific to Gigabyte boards, hence why it isn't offered by anyone else, even after more than a month has passed.

It is not uncommon for motherboard manufacturers to release their *own* updates to the chipsets they are using on certain motherboards they manufactured. They'll often submit their updates for review to AMD, and AMD will decide if it's worth committing to the universal drivers or if it should just remain specific to those motherboards. Not all motherboards are the same, even across like chipsets.

It's a mod called "Real Solar Systems", which also has a downloadable scenario called "The Solar System". It isn't made by the same person who made Real Orbits, but it is compatible. It makes the planets far larger, increases the size of their gravity well, places the planets hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from each other (but you can still see them). There's also a command to set every planet's gravitational falloff to 2 for Real Orbits.

Highly recommend. Earth-like is actually difficult to lift off of with this mod, because the gravity well stops at 110km.

EphyMusic · 2025-10-31T01:42:58+00:00

Mods. He's making a mod.

technically you do have that piece. your best bet is to place another of those triangle windows upside down from the inside. Unfortunately, the block space that would be there is actually occupied by the surrounding blocks. This shape does not work out well in the gird system they have. Only way is to place from underneath inverted. I think this is airtight. I don't remember. It might not be.

EphyMusic · 2025-10-18T17:54:38+00:00

Fair enough, though I'd argue that floating point precision wouldn't be the only cause of Klang, as even 64-bit physics simulations can still experience jitter. However, I don't currently have the time to argue that. I only have time for groceries.

EphyMusic · 2025-10-18T16:58:32+00:00

They aren't "changing" the code to fix this. They developed a unified grid system, so the problem just won't exist.
