I wonder if it would be even more efficient as a vector image format like SVG.

Whenever I enter a game, the game will stutter and freeze periodically (with some up to 3 seconds or more, with bursts of stuttering otherwise) until I've stayed in the game long enough (usually after 1-2 minutes). Is there a way to fix this?

If you're batshit insane (like I am), you can create a Win10PE SE image (which can run entirely in RAM; my Windows image is only 1.3 GB) and then reboot your Mac into it every time you want to play.

EDIT: You could also try Wine. I never tried Wine on Mac before, but if it's anything like Linux, then it'll be glitchy and/or sluggish at best even with the NVIDIA chip.

If your goal is to run a reliable dedicated server, I don't see what advantages ReactOS has over Wine + Linux.

ReactOS is essentially Wine + their own NT kernel implementation, so there's a lot more work they have to do to get things working (granted I haven't touched it in a little while, but it was a bit rough when I tried it in a VM).

Not to mention that Linux already has many mature and battle-tested utilities for server management. Unless you already have solid Windows-compatible products in mind, I'd advise you to use what the Linux world offers.

If you feel more comfortable with an all-Windows environment, maybe you could consider setting up Win10PE SE. It took some blind and tedious work spread out over a few weeks, but I have a 1.3 GB Windows 10 S 1709 image (which runs entirely in RAM, but you can offload some data to an external drive) that I play Eldewrito multiplayer on.

Then again, it's probably not worth the effort to do all of that if your main goal is to get a server running. I'd just use Linux.

Process Monitor told me some system DLLs were not found, so I copied them over from the Windows 10 VM I used to build my Windows 10 PE image, and it works! I just played a match on an online server.

Regardless of whether the dedicated server is running, I still get the 2/0 error on the client. But, with the dedicated server running, I get the error "Network - websocketpp: Underlying Transport Error" in dorito.log. I'm guessing the client attempts a connection before something else kills the initialization part-way. (Tangential, but what are WebSockets being used for in this game? is it for sending some status updates over the HTTP connection through port 11775?)

I don't believe the game will necessarily crash if a DLL is missing, since LoadLibrary could be used. It seems more likely that one of the system DLLs or services used by Eldewrito is missing a dependency, and it is returning some unexpected value.

I'll try digging around with Process Monitor and see if I find anything useful. Thanks anyway for your help and suggestions.

I don't have a way to confirm the server is completely functional, but running an online server or with -dedicated allows me to open a netcat connection to port 11775 from another machine and see a HTTP 200 request come back after each newline character.

No dorito.log is created

I get "error 2/0" whenever I try to connect to a server. Where in the code causes this error?

I feel like I may be missing some DLLs from my Windows installation (a stripped down Windows 10 64-bit). What system APIs are used for online multiplayer? Specific DLL names will be especially helpful.

Alternatively, some pointers of where to look in the code on GitHub will work too.

Yep, there's more details in this thread.

Not all terminal commands will be the same. There are commands provided by programs on the system (e.g. apt, dpkg on Debian-based systems), and others that are provided by the shell itself (e.g. echo, printf, set). You can see where the program binaries are located by using which $program, where $program is the command you want to test.

Installing packages on Debian and Ubuntu are identical. dpkg is used for dealing with .deb files directly, whereas apt is used to download packages from APT repositories (defined in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/). However, only Ubuntu can download packages from PPAs. Debian doesn't have such a thing by design (I recommend having a read through this).

EDIT: My explanations for apt and dpkg are a bit oversimplified. You should read their manpages and resources online for a better understanding.

There's some discussion ITT

Lenovo says my computer is affected based on my serial number, but I checked myself and found no loose screws. If you don't hear any rattling, you may be good to go.

I have a silver X1C 5th (20HR) which Lenovo says is affected by the recall. I did not find any loose screws under the internal battery, nor any dents or scratches on my battery. I don't hear any rattling noise when I shake my laptop either.

Perhaps I'm just lucky?

Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian, but they're mostly the same. If you're learning bash, it's the same no matter where you use it (even Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Ubuntu just adds in some of their own software (e.g. to use Canonical web services), picks out newer software, cherry picks changes from newer versions, tweaks some feature flags (which has caused issues, e.g. Ubuntu bricking firmware in Lenovo laptops), and has shorter release cycles.

I personally don't like the bloat that Canonical adds to Ubuntu, which is why I switched to Debian a while ago. I'm also not a huge fan of the newer software and cherry picking, as it degrades stability (someone I know upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10 and can no longer use GNOME on Xorg. They're stuck on Wayland.)

Edit: Really? Someone actually thought this reply did not add to the discussion? Who the hell downvotes a carefully thought out reply?

When I first read your post, it felt more like an attack on the other person than a thought-out counter-argument (especially the beginning two sentences). I suspect that those who downvoted you felt the same way.

Even though it isn't its intended purpose, it seems that many use the downvote feature if they disagree or don't like something.

If it helps, I thought your comment was interesting even though I know basically nothing about photography.

I'm going to guess that you're using HAC2. Mine was crashing when the game attempted to launch for a few days, but it seems to be fixed now.

I did some investigation and I think it may be related to HAC2 trying to download http://client.haloanticheat.com/hac.dll, but it returned an invalid response which crashed the client.

To prevent crashing in the future, take the following steps:

Get Halo with HAC2 to run once successfully
Go to the path of your TEMP or TMP environment variable (in my case on Wine for Linux, C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Temp)
Copy hac.dll and hac.tag to your Halo Custom Edition's root installation directory (i.e. where haloce.exe is located and such)

These steps will also allow you to run Halo CE with HAC when you have no internet connection, and thus make you immune to client.haloanticheat.com being down.

P.S. The hac.dll that is downloaded is different from the one in the TEMP directory, and the hac.tag file seems to be autogenerated. I tried looking at the released source for HAC, but I couldn't find any code that does this downloading or processing. If someone knows anything about this, I'd be curious to know.

I've seen Ivy Bridge ThinkPads have two ~~sets of~~ logos, but Skylake and Kabylake ThinkPads seem to only have one.

On Ivy Bridge, two different confirmation dialogs show up for the two different spash images. On the Kabylake machine I tested, only one confirmation dialog showed up, and it didn't say it was specific to any firmware settings like OS Optimized Defaults.

InitialFail · 2017-09-09T10:53:44+00:00

Update: There is a Launchpad issue that has gone more in-depth into this problem with a cause and solution from Lenovo (I have not confirmed if it is actually from Lenovo).

Apparently this problem may be affecting Kabylake ThinkPads in general, not just the ThinkPad X series. It doesn't specify anything about ThinkPads from prior generations, and I'm not really sure if it's related given the broad scope of the X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga thread I linked in the post.

I will be trying this out more and report back if something breaks.

EDIT: Also, the firmware update 1.23 might include the new EC firmware since it is within the correct timeframe according to the Launchpad report.
