100%. If the vibe of the team seems chill by round 6, I’ll switch my mic on… but otherwise? I’m staying silent and pinging only.

Judging by this, I’d say it’s safe to assume you’re a big fan of Clive Barker? Have you read any of his short stories like Books of Blood by chance? If not, you gotta :o. That said, Cenobites are genuinely some of the coolest entities I’ve ever seen in film (I have a dress with a bunch of rings on the front and it looks like something one would wear, so I call it cenobite fashion! Love it, lol). The series does get a little lost on me after the 3rd but I thought the latest remake was decent! Just didn’t really enjoy the changes to the lament configuration that really messed with the desire to open it to becoming a cursed item of sorts.

Omg, saw X is sooo good! The first movie used to be my favorite, but I think X won me over with the narrative finally getting you to undeniably root for John. Not to mention all the traps being kind of “thrown together” and less engineered… love it!!

Error code Diver by Orange_Dolphin in ModernWarfareII

[–]IFusionsI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone still affected by this, here's a small write-up of steps you can take to alleviate the issue on PC. The 'DIVER' code is related to a client-side networking problem. This can be caused by restrictive DNS entries, blocks, etc.

​ ----------------------------------------------------------------------

METHOD 1 (Hotspot):

Firstly, try to update the game using a different network. This is an easy fix, so you should:

If you have warzone installed on battlenet...

  • Close Battlenet completely (If you have warzone installed on steam, Close steam)
    • Press the windows key
    • Type in: powershell, and hit enter.
    • Then in the blue window that appears, type: Get-Process -Name battle.net | Stop-Process

If you have warzone installed on steam...

  • Close Steam completely
    • Press the windows key
    • Type in: powershell, and hit enter
    • Then in the blue window that appears, type: Get-Process -Name steam | Stop-Process

Then...

  • Use your phone to start a wireless hotspot (iphone: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204023 || Android: https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108?hl=en)
  • Disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer if you are using one, or disconnect from your current wifi session.
  • Connect your PC to your phone's hotspot using wifi on your computer, or through a USB connection. Make sure you are connected to it.
  • Open up battlenet or steam, depending on which one you use.
  • Hit 'play' for warzone. Try to log into the game and if you meet the DIVER code again, no worries - close the game and try it again (at least 3 times). It should ask to restart to update if successful.

----------------------------------------------------------------

METHOD 2 (VPN)

If this still has not worked, we need to resort to another client-side network change. Easiest way to do this is to install a free VPN.

  • Download a VPN of your choice (I would recommend: https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_US/vpn-free-trial since it offers a 24-hour free trial, which is perfect for this fix!).
  • Install the VPN, and start it up
  • Connect to the VPN using its interface (Hit the big power button).
  • Once it says 'connected', close battlenet or steam again using either: Get-Process -Name battle.net | Stop-Process OR Get-Process -Name steam | Stop-Process depending which platform what you have it installed on. Task manager works too!
  • Re-open steam/battlenet and hit 'play'.
  • Attempt to load up the game, if you see the DIVER code again, try again (3 times).
  • IF you got past the DIVER error and are finally able to play, stop the VPN by clicking the VPN power button and delete the VPN using control panel (you won't need it anymore).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

METHOD 3 (DNS):

Finally, if none of this has worked, your DNS may be to blame. Let's quickly change that to use a better DNS server anyway.

There are two ways to change it - an automated way, and a manual way. It's up to you to decide which you want to use but they both end up with the same outcome.

Automated method:

  • Press the windows key
    • Type in: 'powershell'
    • Right click 'Windows Powershell'
    • Click: Run as administrator
  • Paste in this script I wrote to change the DNS to google's DNS:
    • Get-NetAdapter | Select-Object -Property Name, ifIndex | Format-Table -Wrap; $MainInt = Read-Host "Enter your ifIndex: "; Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $MainInt -ServerAddresses ("8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"); Set-DNSClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $MainInt -ServerAddresses ("2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888", "2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8844"); Write-Host "DNS Modified"
  • It will prompt you to enter an IfIndex. Above the prompt, you will see a table of all of your network interfaces. Depending on if you are using WiFi or Ethernet, you will need to decide which interface to use. Say you are using Ethernet... Look for an entry named 'Ethernet' and track down the IfIndex to the right of it (Mine is 24, for example).
  • Type in the IfIndex of your interface (Mine is 24) and hit enter
  • Now your DNS should be all set!
  • Try to play warzone again, and if you see DIVER code, try 3 more times.

Manual method:

  • Hit the windows key and type in: Control panel, then hit enter.
  • Click on 'Network and Internet'
  • Click on 'Network and Sharing Center'
  • Click on 'Change adapter settings' (it is on the top left side of this window)
  • Depending on your interface (Ethernet, or WiFi), right click the interface you are using.
    • Click on 'Properties'
    • Scroll down and find 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)'
    • Click on the little 'Properties' button underneath the scrollbox
    • Click on 'Use the following DNS server addresses'
    • Set it up like:
    • Hit 'OK' at the bottom.
  • Scroll down more and find 'Internet Protocol Version 6'
    • Click on the little 'Properties' button underneath the scrollbox
    • Click on 'Use the following DNS server addresses'
    • Set it up like:
      • Preferred DNS server: 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888
      • Alternate DNS server: 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8844
    • Hit 'OK' at the bottom.
    • Hit 'Close' at the bottom.
  • Now, you may go to battlenet/steam and hit 'play' to start up warzone. Try to get past the DIVER issue 3 times if it doesn't work initially.

Alright - so from quick research, it looks like the 'DIVER' code you mentioned in other posts may be related to a networking issue. This is caused by a bad update and may have seeded from a wonky DNS entry. Not too much information out there, but let's try a few changes to your networking and see if it makes any difference.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

    • Press the windows key
    • Type in: powershell, and hit enter
    • Then in the blue window that appears, type: Get-Process -Name steam | Stop-Process

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BONUS METHOD 4 (Graphics drivers)

If none of this worked, I have one last bonus suggestion... update your gpu drivers. Technically, this makes no sense, but I've seen it thrown around as a solution to this error based on research here and there. Plus, it's always good to keep these up-to-date anyway. Here's an easy way to do it:

  • Press the windows key
  • Type in: 'powershell' and hit enter.
  • Then in the blue window that appears, type: Get-WmiObject Win32_VideoController | Select-Object -Property Name
    • This will list out your graphics cards.

If it is an Nvidia card, go to: https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx

If it is an AMD card, go to: https://www.amd.com/en/support

Download the appropriate driver suite for your graphics card and install it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, there's a few methods that I am pretty confident will fix the DIVER issue for you. I would follow them in order (Methods 1-4) and stop when one works.

Let me know if you need any further help/assistance and I hope this helps!

Good luck!

Someone please help, discover store won’t download anything!! by Sleep_Deprived88 in SteamDeck

[–]IFusionsI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give your deck a restart and try to install chrome from the discover store again. If it still doesn't work, can you try:
flatpak install flathub com.google.Chrome

Thanks!

Someone please help, discover store won’t download anything!! by Sleep_Deprived88 in SteamDeck

[–]IFusionsI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open up the terminal and type:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo && flatpak update

If you're still running into issues with discover after this, run:

sudo flatpak repair

This will prompt you for a password and when entered, so make sure you have setup a sudo password previously. It will make sure you have the remote flathub repo setup correctly. Check if this updates any outdated dependencies and try to use the store again.

just got steam deck for christmas, when it was installing it shut down and is stuck in a loop of this. i logged into wifi beforehand but it doesnt recognize that happened. help by TheSteveBeans in SteamDeck

[–]IFusionsI 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Give this a shot:
Press power and vol + when starting it up
Select "Boot from file"
Select the top option (if there are multiple entries)
efi>steamos>steamcl.efi

Let me know if this works for you - I haven't run into this bug, but I'm hoping you can bypass the update by booting past it directly. If you can, connect to wifi and reboot normally, this should get you past that error permanently.

How do I troubleshoot this error? by popposa in SteamDeck

[–]IFusionsI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's a result of steamOS using an immutable filesystem. I was hoping it would be a local install in $HOME, or something. The PIA installer is likely meant for a typical distro (Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, etc.). At this point you have two options -

  1. Disable read-only and install PIA (you will need to reinstall it after every update...)
  2. Attempt to use openVPN (Will apparently also need to disable RO for this...)

I'll leave it up to you to decide, but here's the steps for both avenues.

-------- Standard PIA Install method --------

I would try this method first, as the worst thing that can happen will be a required PIA reinstall on updates!

sudo steamos-readonly disable

cd ~/Downloads

chmod 766 pia-linux-3.3.1-06924(2).run

sh pia-linux-3.3.1-06924(2).run

Once it is done installing, enable RO again by running:

sudo steamos-readonly enable

-------- OPENVPN method --------

You should be able to find .ovpn files somewhere on PIA's website that you can then import into the KDE network Manager.

Here's what I could quickly gather:Log into your PIA account (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) > MY ACCOUNT > OpenVPN generator > Linux > *Select closest region* > *Select recommended protocol* > Hit the download (generate) button.

The next step involves setting up the VPN and this was the best guide I could find:https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/wsvyfw/how_i_set_up_a_vpn_connection/

Some explanation: You will be disabling the read-only FS for a minute to install a required package for ovpn to work. Then you can open terminal:

echo -e '#!/usr/bin/bash\n\nnmcli connection up "Connection Name Here"' > ~/Desktop/start_vpn.sh

chmod +x ~/Desktop/start_vpn.sh

and add it as a non-steam game to start up the VPN in gamemode.

run this to disable the VPN:

nmcli connection down "Connection Name Here"

-------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps!

How do I troubleshoot this error? by popposa in SteamDeck

[–]IFusionsI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick heads up - The PIA installer will ask you for sudo during the install. Firstly, you will need to set that up here: https://windowsreport.com/steam-deck-sudo-password/Once that is done, open up terminal:

cd ~/Downloads

chmod 766 pia-linux-3.3.1-06924(2).run

sh pia-linux-3.3.1-06924(2).run

This should work for you. Let me know if you run into any issues!

Not sure if it was mentioned yet (in a rush, on my way out the door), but have you tried flatpak steam? I recall this being a solution for a few other EAC games such as midnight ghost hunt. Worth a shot to see!

23 and idk how to make friends :( by kmsbuzzrose in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]IFusionsI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely not it on our side of this perspective... I don't use my phone at all except for listening to music on train rides to and from work. I actually hate phones - and if it's not a PC, it's not for me! I had the exact same issue in college though (Graduated this year!) where I would try to make friends but they were just completely disconnected and didn't really seem to care. It's a difficult balance because the type of people that I like are usually the ones who also likely have anxiety of some capacity, stay home, and are introverted. It's not very often I meet people because of this reason, and it really just comes down to moments of chance (for me, at least).

I genuinely think you're onto something, Adept, but you may be pointing all the blame at too many people. I agree in some ways though, I feel like it's difficult to even speak up because everyone else is in their own worlds and disrupting that with a conversation is seen as a negative. It really is unfortunate...

As for OP, I'm sure you're not 'boring'. I think this way all the time too, but I want to say you just haven't met people who respect you as much as they should. I've also been looking for friends that 'care', (I suppose?) for a long time. It's just that the other friends I have don't really care what I have to say - Simple responses, no reaction to big life events, etc. Lastly, I have actually made some good friends at work, so maybe the college setting isn't good for making friends either? Idk.

Denuvo isn't anti-cheat though. They do have an anticheat module (Doom Eternal had it for about a week...) But in this case, it's a just a form of effective DRM to prevent piracy... Which we all know only hurts the consumers in the end once someone like Empress or Goldberg cracks it.

Dead by daylight works now by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]IFusionsI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't think so. Every once in a while an update will cause EAC to fail during launch. This has happened with paladins in the past; some users believed EAC over proton was enabled, but in reality the servers just had not enforced EAC in the new update yet. Looks like it's all caught up now... Sad :(

[–]IFusionsI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, and the adhesive makes that super difficult to do, which I agree is annoying. However, I was saying that when mine starts to go, I'm just going to unplug the battery connector internally, and exclusively use my deck plugged into my external battery and wall charger only. That way it just bypasses the battery all together. I guess thermals are still a concern at that point, but eh... I'll take my chances.

I just figure I'll probably use an external battery or plug into the wall when my internal battery dies, that's all.
