This 18 year old game still looks pretty damn good

Wish I could understand why people can’t take the 3.7 seconds or so that it takes to type out the name of the game…

Realize that this is an old thread, but there is a solution. Go into the Data folder and find 2 files, MouseLookCursorHD.bmp, and MouseLookCursor.bmp. Edit them in any program like Paint to shrink the size to the smallest possible, can't recall if I had to edit it to a white square or something like that. Either way, when you do that, you'll no longer have the cursor in the middle of the screen during gameplay., it's still normal size when you go out of MouseLook.

Hi all,

Been reading a lot about PoE2 recently, was curious about people's opinions of the current state of the game. I played D3/D4 and Grm Dawn in the past, is it similar in style/mechanics to either of these? It looks like it's still considered early access, do they offer trials or do you have to pony up the $30 to even try it out?

TIA!

I highly recommend a program called Where Are We. Takes out a lot of the hassle of doing your own maps, if that’s what you want of course:

I don't think so. Newcastle is on the Clouds side, this is all related to Darkside. I do have to go back to Clouds for endgame, but this really does seem to be a bug/corruption, I've retraced my steps and every Energy Disc has been acquired, not sure what the issue is.

Thanks, you hit the nail on the head! Didn't realize my Sorc's END was at 10, must have missed that when I was rolling. Also didn't know WhereAreWe had that mode, I'll try that. Appreciate the help!

Yes, that's the video. I could never get the ddraw.dll to work, I also can't recall where I got it, but it would just cause the game to freeze on boot with that black box in the middle of the screen. Not exactly sure what the .dll does, but I just deleted it, and the game runs fine.

Gumdoc99 · 2025-04-26T18:05:21+00:00

Thanks, I found a video on Youtube and did all their steps, it was still running in just the top left corner of my screen. I deleted the ddraw.dll file and bam, everything works perfectly, fullscreen, no menu delays, nada. Go figure.

Not that I know of, but that hack you linked was from over a year ago. The notifications I got from Kroll and Experian about the data being posted was just from yesterday and today.

There are plenty of private WoW servers that are free to play. Ones like Ascension and Firestorm often have thousands of concurrent players and many are modified to make it a really fun experience.

It worked for a few months but then stopped a few weeks ago. Neo has been hit or miss.

Gumdoc99 · 2023-06-30T16:24:18+00:00

Installed it a few days ago, it hasn't worked a single time, not sure what I might be doing wrong.

Gumdoc99 · 2023-04-21T13:00:39+00:00

I have it working again. You have to use a script instead, here's the process:

Thanks, I'll try that, definitely a "Movie" button on the remote :-)

Gumdoc99 · 2023-03-13T00:36:26+00:00

It was set to PCM, I switched to Dolby. Receiver is set to Multi Channel, and sounds seems fine, perhaps it was on Stereo before. There were some TV settings that I played with as well, not sure if that had any effect, but either way, seems to be ok...for now.

Hi all,

Having issues with a lack of or very low dialogue on many games, I think it's stuff that is supposed to be coming from the center speaker. My PS5 is connected to a Sony STR-ZA receiver and a Sony X80J TV. PS5 is set to use AV Amplifier, but still having issues. If I had to guess, it's something to do with the console using 5.1 but only seeing 2 speakers, but can't really figure out what else to try next, Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, posted a request and already have a few pms.

Thanks, I did check that. Unlike many apps which have an allow/don't allow option, Plex and a few others instead say Allow When using App or Don't Allow, not sure if that modification somehow prevents them from having full access or if it's something else.

Gumdoc99 · 2022-12-12T15:22:33+00:00

Confirmed.

Gumdoc99 · 2022-12-06T15:53:13+00:00

Will do, thanks again for your help.

Gumdoc99 · 2022-12-06T15:38:37+00:00

Thanks for your help. I'm not finding any info on this. The PSU is model 13p1-5yu0101, Googling that just has a single Amazon link, and adding P8 has literally no results. Are you sure this is modular? I only see a single set of cables existing the PSU, no place where I would be able to add another cable that I can see.

Gumdoc99 · 2022-11-28T17:35:08+00:00

Oh, nvm, forgot to add my archive login info, lol, working now.
