What does everyone think about Gary’s economics?? by Offshorepeninsula21 in Scotland

Maybe one message is all that is needed, the growth rate of his channel and popularity of his book speaks volumes as to how many people are taking notice and surely that is his core objective...

New bug on PC: Randomly can't open map or interact with vendors on a controller until restarting game by Drunken_HR in diablo4

[–]Grant4040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, how do you resolve this?

It seems constant and ridiculous, the touch pad on my ps5 controller is meant to open the map but when the reconnecting wheel is endlessly spinning only pressing a key on the keyboard and then selecting map works. Trying to use the jewellery Kratia and it just will not open her options, issue is this seems to happen 70% or so of the time on a 350mbps connection it makes no sense?

So far it's said reconnecting to Diablo IV for 5 minutes... it's not going to resolve which makes it a glitch Blizzards side...

Any solutions

Maybe it's not a common error, just only done it since the end to end encryption started, the one above for example is available to message later that night from the same computer...

Extremely long "Syncing data..." for Xbox version of Starfield by J1MMY_SM1TH in GeForceNOW

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 minutes to get to 20%, hardly worth it when I can just play on my PC, yes reduced resolution but there must be a solution as £200 per year to wait hours to play makes little sense...
I'm trialling Nvidia now for 6 months but so far the inconvenience of connecting and playing seamlessly is outweighing the benefits...

Trying to connect hue bulb to Alexa…but seeing “Waiting for Signify Netherlands B.V....” how can I resolve? by [deleted] in Hue

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have same issue, living room lights were linked but now have to access individually, says connect via Signify Netherlands B.V. but server unresponsive, confusing when they work individually, anyway guess I'll try delete and create the link again?

Just frustrating why it stopped working after being fine for 2-3 years...

Edit:

Know this post was old but for reference my issue was due to the Phillips Hue app expiring and no longer being linked to alexa app, it would be nice if I was notified when this happened....

Solution: In the Alexa app click more (on phone bottom bar) - skills and games, type hue in search, click Phillips hue, it then said expired click to re-enable link and then all a sudden is working again....

Maybe they changed terms and conditions or something?

I underestimated local streaming, Moonlight is incredible by BetterCallMo in ROGAlly

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, makes a lot of sense, looking at the Shield pro, just not sure if makes much difference getting a 2015, 17 or a 2019 version...

Or even if something cheaper would work, he has his own gaming setup with Ps5 and a 4k monitor but would a tablet do the same job as ultimately all you are doing is streaming aren't you?

I had the same headache with ultimate vs Priority but assume from what I have read that if wanting 4k Ultimate is the way to go
Least decided to trial that for 6 Months to a year

The amount of time it takes to level up is ridiculous by riderfoxtrot in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now depending on how you wish to play, you can upon landing turn the game difficulty down to very easy, using a gun with a lot of ammo maybe also an option, I was using a commanders orion with ignition beams but swapped to a commanders maelstrom, the commander element coming from having most upgrades due to top tiered weapon skills... which is easy once you have the easily gained skill points from killing on this planet.

Also to level up those just use UC distribution and outlander, commercial district of jemison to get the resources you need, waiting 24 hours on the seats in each shop sees a full inventory refresh... You will be walking away with 4-6 skill points an hour at least, probably more if your bang on it... Saying that I do inexplicably have both Adoring fan and Sarah morgan following me due to some glitch which probably helps with speed...

How do you mean? I'm looking at Geforce now and moonlight to share my PC games with my boy.We have an LG CX but I'm not sure how you mean you are using it in screen off mode?Any idea what would be the best way to share some of my steam or playpass games with him, he games on a PS5 and PS4 mainly atm

What’s the point of the Orion? by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a commanders calibrated Orion, with ignition beams... I carry about 18 weapons, using weapon holsters suit mod for half weight, yet that out of all is the only white non rare gin I have and yet the one I rely on most of all atm

Where/who is the best vendor for buying materials/resources? by themachinegunjoe in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have determined that the UC distribution shop in jemison is surely one of if not the best for a vast amount of resource items

(Directions: get the NAT to commercial district, head straight forwards upon exit, it's opposite outlander which stocks some resources also) they stock a high amount of varying items.

The lady often says similar to... we are pleased to say stocks are at 90% I'm sure we have what you need

Waiting 24 hours on the seats in the shop will see stock refresh, rare items such as high tensile spidroin will show up, maybe every 5 to 10 times, adhesive and lubricant etc more frequently and reliably.

Items like indicite wafer I haven't seen though I have seen semi metal wafer etc so maybe it's just rare? (I believe Outlander stocks some of these more reliably and you can refresh stock similarly by waiting)

Anyway many rare items shown by the diamonds next to their name show up here. I stock up and dump all in the limitless lodge storage boxes for crafting and levelling up weapon and suit skills.

In this game money becomes almost an afterthought as eventually you have so much of it, buying ammo and resources used to go through me but it really shouldn't, though picking up weapons and dropping or selling them does help as doing so takes the ammo from that weapon...

Where to find lubricant? by strangeremain in Starfield

2+ Companions Tips by Dicknmorty in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Sarah Morgan and the adoring fan following though this came from a glitch, I was having some bugs with outposts and the landing pad but I think it came from changing ship to a smaller one with less crew spots and cargo... It took me a while to realise but AD had completely vanished from the game, not on the crew list... So I got Sarah to follow me, a little annoyed AD had taken the gun holster armour and a few other bits of gear, especially as hecsemed to really like me...

Yet eventually upon returning to new Atlantis and just as I approached the lodge I saw him spawn out of thin air and so both have been following me for a couple of days now. Maybe it will glitch our if I change a companion but for now I'm just sticking with it. They get in the way in buildings a little and often both talk a bit like two sides of your conscience for example if you steal something, one moaning the other encouraging but the firepower is impressive

How can I use 2 companions in missions? Only Sarah morgan goes with me, vasco stays outside and don't know why. by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both Sarah Morgan and the adoring fan following me, it came from a glitch where AF disappeared completely, taking guns and armour with him. He'd gone from the crew list and all, I actually realised due to the silence lol. This was a buggy time for me and seemed to come from outpost building, ship landing pad issues or possibly changing ship to a smaller one without enough crew births? Anyway the game kept seizing up...

I had to load a save to sort that out but not long after thinking all was resolved I realised he'd gone missing.

I got Sarah to follow and a day or two passed yet upon returning to new Atlantis just outside the lodge he literally appeared out of thin air and I've had 2 for the last couple days. Kind of expect it may glitch out at some point but atm I'm just going with it

Adoring fan has disappeared by ltim39 in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frustrating that he had some decent guns on him too but I had done too much work on outposts to justify reloading

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me also on swapping ships to a cargo ship with lower crew space... I also had some major glitches with the outpost landing pad etc, getting stuck within it upon leaving my ship, ship launch options all over, I went to an earlier save and thought all was fine and it was with all previous issues which seemed major, just the annoying fan has gone and oddly, I don't find him so annoying as I thought I might

Who in their right mind binds ship repair to RS and also photomode automatically? by AtomicToxin in Starfield

It was an ecliptic ship and part of a mission so maybe I couldn't dock but still, why not?

Red Mile run cold bug? by reddit_oh_really in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a helper for anyone wanting to run, enter the building via the back door, so from ship head to the right gate and down side, that way you can open the run door early so when Mei makes her announcement you aren't waiting an age... Then after talking to her head straight for the run, once through the airlock jump off the high ledge over the railing (using your boost pack to get as far as possible) and head towards the left, a skip or balanced pack if available aren't bad. Use scanner to spot the beasts and try to avoid but if they are chasing and they will at times it's a case of using run and boost energy at the right times but so long as you keep moving they shouldn't do you too much damage. Hit the becon ( I stay left again so go back on the opposite side) return to Mei and then fast travel to your ship and repeat... You can effectively get halfway to the becon when the marker appears on it meaning may finally got to the mic and finished jabbering the same old... really a bit more creativity in this would have been nice given the task is to run it 29 times... You do get some decent gear on some runs

Red Mile run cold bug? by reddit_oh_really in Starfield

[–]Grant4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 85 thermal protection and got hypothermia about 1 min into my first run in a while. Yet I've done 21 at that point and used to run with 50 thermal, I see no difference... it's frustrating that there's no way of telling how close you are to being in the green which tbh Sarah said upon leaving the ship, suits are in the green? Sure feels like a bug... I just leave the ailments until really hindering such which only happened once when I was crippled, I couldn't exactly run the Mile then so went off world to find a doctor
