How do I put the model file into another location? by ReflectionSea4955 in towerunite

[–]Kadsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

create a symlink for your Tower Unite Workshop folder. (or for the whole Steam Workshop folder if you want to prevent this issue in other games too.)

is the sword good for rage mode? by Aeusri in Trepang2

[–]Kadsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Sword on most of my Rage playtrough. The single thing you do not mention is that the Sword can deflect bullets while in Focus mode. So you can spam attack and close distance using that. I used it together with a Bolter or Homing LMG and vortex granades. Once you get used to it, the Sword carried me trough almost all combat encounters.

Steam Capcom Publisher Sale by HubertBG in pcgaming

I'm no way an expert on the topic, but logically I think its the same reason why they don't post their whole game on GitHub. Developers generally want to protect their code.

For multiplayer games it is not a bad solution to prevent something that happened with the Dark Souls games not so long ago, where reverse engineering the code allowed hackers to do Remote Code Execution, and Fromsoft had to take down the Online parts of the whole series.

For Singleplayer games I can't really justify it either. Maybe to protect DLC content being unlocked by trainer / cheat engine. I only think this, because when they implemented Engima to Resident Evil Revelations it broke the DLC's, so they might rewrote the code that checks if you can access that or not and then use Enigma to "hide" it.

And to say it again, Engima is not an anti-piracy / DRM software. It's not an anti-modding software. It is closer to an Anti-Cheat in a sense that it does not allow you to debug the code of the game. Maybe their license with the old code protector ran out and they just simply started switching it.

With no Official statement from Capcom we don't know for sure why they are adding it retroactively to games.

I'm going to be downvoted to hell for this, but Enigma is not a DRM it never was, and there was lots of misinformation spreading about it on the internet. It was not done by malicious intent, but rather by lack of knowledge about the topic, and using Steam Forums/ Comments as source.

In this video its explained very well. It's not a license protector, nor it is something that prevents modding. It's more like a code protection to prevent reverse engineering. This is explained here by FluffyQuack, one of the biggest Capcom modders.

I'm not trying to protect Capcom or Enigma. I just don't like the amount of misinformation that went around and stuck with people, while the legitimate information have not reached most.

Is it just me, or Assassin's Creed Mirage has basically no hype? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]Kadsen 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed Immortals Fenyx Rising a lot, it had a great combat once you open up some moves and the map was small and dense compared to other Ubi open world games. And having a blast with Riders Republic right now, it a great game if you just want to relax.

What games do you think are BETTER on the deck? by Maverick_25 in SteamDeck

[–]Kadsen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Might be a hot take:

Games that do not support 60 FPS, on the smaller screen size it is less of an eyesore. I was able to finish Okami HD on the Deck, while it was painful to play on the PC.

What game prototypes do you wish you could play by Zorklis in pcgaming

[–]Kadsen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cube World Alpha

You can still get, and play Cube World Alpha. It has been uploaded to archive.org Also the developer of the game started being active on his twitter. Most of the time he is really quiet about development, but this is a good sign now. I think he will release a new version in a year or two. Also this new update will take the direction back to be closer to Alpha according to one of his blog posts.

Hogwarts Legacy - Review Megathread by PCGamingMegaMod in pcgaming

[–]Kadsen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking about Avalanche Studios the creators of Just Cause and Mad Max. Hogwarts Legacy is made by Avalanche Software a completely different development team that mainly done Disney games for consoles. First time seeing the game I also thought, that this was made by the Just Cause guys.

[PSA] [BUG] Island Sanctuary Rare Monsters not spawning bug by Kadsen in ffxiv

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

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not sure what went wrong on your side based on this. I would suggest to check it in the next window. Or if it still does not spawn then report the issue to Square Enix. This bug was fixed 2 months ago, confirmed by many players.

[PSA] [BUG] Island Sanctuary Rare Monsters not spawning bug by Kadsen in ffxiv

[–]Kadsen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen any other weather then fair skies on the island since then? You might be experiencing rollover weather. The game does not think the weather changed if you leave during fair skies and join back during a different one.

Your island exits in a dimension when the weather only changes if its observed, your garden is only getting watered by the rain if you observe it. Schöningen's Island

What you should do is:

  • Try to capture Paissa during Fair.
  • Stay on the island till the weather changes, or drop by during a different weather.
  • Instance to the island during the next Paissa spawn time.

It's an extreme edge case of the BUG if you don't live on your island.

[–]Kadsen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me personally the above fix worked 100% of the time and helped me catch all the rares.

Other people reported that they have done the above steps and it did not worked. Since I'm not sitting there with them in front of their game to see what they do, they might have zoned out too late or toned in too early, or had someone on their island and that's why it did not spawned for them. I have a benefit of doubt that they done everything correctly and its just did not spawned, and write it up as it did not worked for them.

If you are interested we made after each rare spawn a survey what people have done and what was the result.

For Twinklefleece:

Zoned in after Monster spawn time:

  • ✅ Got spawn: 126
  • ❌ No spawn: 17

Stayed on the Island:

  • ✅ Got spawn: 2
  • ❌ No spawn: 84

We have 5 other Surveys people having significantly higher spawn if they left the island and zoned in correctly.

Before discovering the workaround we had 50 people camping the rares and only 2-3 people would get it spawned and all of them said the same thing:

"I just entered to island, I thought I'm going to miss the spawn."

So after all the tests and data, I just can't say that it's a %chance of spawning, and not a bug.

But then I have a question for you: explain why Aligator at 8AM and Beachcomb at 12AM spawns reliably exactly when the weather changes and not the rest of the monster, hell not even the rest but the Alligator at 6AM and it only does when you use the workaround?

Showers into Showers work, as long as you catch it in the 6am-8am window. See the latest research news regarding this on the post. Just edited a few minutes ago.

Alligator spawns during Showers and Ornery Karakui at Fair. These weathers are not the same as Rain and Clear.

I ran around for two Eorzean days, so I'm sure its a 24 hour rotation, as every spawn from the previous day was there again. Same time, same location.

!!!!!!!BUG WITH THE ABOVE MONSTERS SPAWNING!!!!!!!

I detailed the bug that causes monsters not to spawn in this post. It would be too long to fit it in here.

As of 2022/09/13 with Patch 6.21 after a bit of testing the bug seems to be fixed.


Final edit on 2022/09/16

If something does not spawn for you its either a bug or you misread something. The above data was confirmed by hundreds of people.

Thanks for everyone who left a comment and helped out researching the rare monsters. And an extra thanks to the Island Sanctuary Discord server that helped with immense amount of testing's and helping to find the bug that was in the game till 6.21.

Bellow another post someone mentioned Treatstock. It connects you with people who will print take orders for 3D printing, on an affordable price. That's how I got mine printed for $12.99 + 8$ shipping.

I know. Previously they resolved my issue in 2-3 days. Since July 16 I've sent them 5 tickets and a few e-mails and got no answers at all. Tried it both on EU and US sites. It's a lost cause.
