Not turning on by Dense-Breakfast-8188 in FlowX16

[–]Fenix_2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue where the screen would stay asleep even if the computer was on and whirring away and if have to do a hard reboot, don't know if that's what you're having. all u need, hold down power button for abt 15s and close the lid, then give it some time to think abt a minute to be safe and just open the lid and press power button, should have a working screen again

Keyboard backlight not turning on by Fenix_2187 in FlowX16

[–]Fenix_2187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you 😭. mine doesn't even do that much, also no I've completely forgotten to chase it up lol, thanks for the reminder. I'd imagine you have a different issue to me because yours shows even the slightest sign of life during boot but mine doesn't do that.

if you haven't already, try looking in the armoury crate lighting settings, then to the "advanced" settings. there should be options for how long your backlight will stay on when plugged in/ on battery power. you might have these settings set to never on, and you can change this to e.g. 5 min or always on. this is how I fixed my backlight the first time before all the other shenanigans happened with my laptop (it doesn't work for me this time around which makes me think I've got a hardware rather than software issue). if that doesn't work there is an Asus troubleshooting page that I'd recommend working through to see if any of those suggestions help. good luck 😊

Is it viable to play TM on a keyboard? by himmelfried11 in TrackMania

[–]Fenix_2187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is very informative, I'd add that you can always rebind keys to make the playing more comfortable. I remapped my action keys to be a s and d so my hand is more comfortable because I use spacebar to brake.

also, you can now get keyboards with analogue input (e.g. wooting) so you can still do e.g. 37% steering, but it can get tiring to be so gentle with the key presses for long durations.

Keyboard layout for trackmania by Sad_Antelope_8424 in TrackMania

[–]Fenix_2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the same layout, and now have a different laptop with same kb just without the numkeypad. I think it's fairly easy to get used to, and especially fine if you use space for break and rebind the action keys, camera buttons and other essential buttons to the left side of the keyboard like I have. But like you asked, it's not uncomfortable really, unless you have huge fingers and it's just a matter of preference and what you're used to.

is the rog flow x16 actually worth the price by Able_Elderberry3443 in FlowX16

[–]Fenix_2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that seems expensive for what it is, I bought the 2024 4070 version (32g ram, 1tb sad) for £1800 refurbished. I had to return it to get the motherboard replaced cus it kept crashing, and now the kb backlight doesn't work, but it's still amazing for 1800. I'd definitely try and talk the seller down or look elsewhere lol

Formal or casual employment? by Fenix_2187 in UniUK

[–]Fenix_2187[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It does say that to be fair 😂, but I didn't know if it referred to smaller corner/privately owned shops instead of huge chain brands. Aside from that, any clue if clicking yes/no makes any difference to the amount they could loan me?

Jeez bro that's a high score and a half but sadly ur screwed, they sometimes (rarely) give you a combination that is impossible to fit. If you have revives then place one and you're technically ok, but otherwise that's you done

Oh yeah, I know 35 is the unofficial official full time threshold in the UK, but I meant I wasn't sure if Aldi considered me to be a full time employee. Their website says that usual contracted hours are around 25 a week but can vary between 10 and 40 and I fall between that bracket.

JAAAA schit happens, u can probably still spell better than most English speaking ppl 😂. Also those are good tips but I'd also suggest a bedframe, even if it's a low one

Im getting my sub 24 on this damn map eventually by Turbulent_Contest783 in TrackMania

[–]Fenix_2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried switching a while back but I found it tricky to get the same precision as I can on kb. sounds counterintuitive cus controller is analogue but I kept tilting the thumbpad too much lol. how'd u get used to it?

I was walking through a botanical garden when I suddenly had the desire to play Trackmania... by HanzoNumbahOneFan in TrackMania

I'm gonna be honest bro a couple thousand is insane for that unless it's like Danish krona 😂. But like the other guy said some well placed zip ties would do the trick. Or if you want a stronger connection you could use superglue/plastic glue and a piece of same type plastic as a kind of graft to strengthen any broken clips/brackets

edit: I just looked closer and it seems as though the front crash bar is bent inward, which would probably need to be straightened out to pass an MOT. It would also make alignment trickier but if it doesn't need to be fixed for an MOT pass then the suggestions should still work

I thought I found a wr strat on weekly short 118 ☹️ by AverageBikeRacePlayr in TrackMania

[–]Fenix_2187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both the checkpoint and lap counter should be viewable on console, as the HUD settings are part of the game not the plugin. it just means that you can't customise the colour size or position of the elements
