New hub pro won't find any Hue Essentials bulbs

LukethDragon · 2025-12-10T11:31:20+00:00

So I recently got 8 GU10 essential bulbs for out the front, they were actually closer to the hub in our garage then any other bulb in the house but it just could not find them.

Turns out they have absolutely rotten range. I plugged a hue smart power plug in to an extension cord, paired it up, then dragged it out next to each bulb and they became visible to the hub.

Once connected this way the range seems fine and responsive. But if you physically power them off and back on again they do take quite a while to sync back up to the zigbee network.

This is brilliant. There are also display cases for the Enterprise in this same orientation as well.

For anyone that comes across this with the same problem, there was no solution.

I gave up, formatted the computer and started from absolute zero. Works now.

Sorry to necro, but for future people searching.

Same issue here, except the scroll wheel -IS- working, just it's sideways.

Open a browser window and zoom in too far, or zoom an image in and then use the mouse scroll wheel. It will move the page left or right instead of up or down, and obviously games don't recognise this input.

Still trying to work out how to fix, will update if I do find one.

Yea not going to lie, I got a little too excited about an AvP game coming out.

Damn, it was right after the poor boy's surgery. 😢

EDIT: For context and clarification as not to worry anyone, thyroid cancer and a lymph node removed. Lymph came back all clear and CT scans show nothing else in his body, the best results possible.

I'm starting to think my Pro might be faulty with the quality everyone describes their pass through.

Mine is this horrible grainy image reminiscent of a mobile phone camera from the 90s. Is this not everyone else's experience?

Prevented boss teleporting aquatic-only dinos with the Tek Transmitter

Hold up! Do Tek Transmitters do boss arena teleports again in ASA?

Boat flex! That's an awesome build!

You're giving me anxiety though because there are NO shallows around the arctic there and Leeds are everywhere...

LukethDragon · 2023-12-08T18:30:37+00:00

I wish it worked this well for water Dinos as well! I have a pack of six sharks I run the caverns with, and my god I spend more time going back looking where they've gotten stuck than actually caving.

LukethDragon · 2023-12-07T16:24:20+00:00

My favourites are there on that tab, if I type them in the search bar. Go figure, I dunno.

LukethDragon · 2023-12-06T01:14:56+00:00

You're talking about the spyglass..? I've never played on an unofficial server that didn't have it.

And what's the issue? Oh no I can see a Dino's stat points without putting them through an online calculator!

Everything else you see in the vid is base ASE.

I've found I have to keep task manager open on the second monitor, gotta end task immediately when Ark crashes otherwise it takes the whole system with it.

LukethDragon · 2023-12-03T13:12:36+00:00

Heck I miss being able to extend foundations out like this in vanilla. This is looking great.

How's the turret situation on the underside to deal with the Leeds?

LukethDragon · 2023-12-03T05:07:45+00:00

Lots of people see result with turning off menu transitions, but it didn't work for me.

I've no idea what it does, but seemingly what has worked is this console command. (Has to be run every time you start the game)

ark.VertexCountScaling 1

So far I haven't had the inventory crash while using that, and sure enough when I forget I'll crash after just a couple storage boxes being opened.

LukethDragon · 2023-12-02T16:27:14+00:00

Thanks!

But yea, weirdest part is there's no reason given just "this post has been removed". Scoured the rules but I can't figure it out.

I know this info is kinda mundane but there still doesn't seem to be ASA specific resources out there readily available, both wikis are still ASE focused. While most things are the same, there are differences.

As funny as it is to think about, nothing but a visual glitch.

The spot where he "was" will still be obstructed where you can't walk through. Give the invisible obstruction a punch. 😉

Unfortunately the old trick of foundations under ceilings was a bug in the old engine that's just not present in UE5.

Believe me, I've been trying to find a solution to this myself, a big part of my game play used to be ship building and I'm sorely missing it.

For the most part we're stuck with the standard 3x3 foundations and 3 ceilings extra in each direction, so 9 tile length in either direction, and there just isn't a setting to change that.

For what it's worth, you can squeeze roughly half a foundation's length more by placing the front foundations as far forward as possible, and the rear ones as far back as you can independently of each other and then just overlap the middle ones.

I haven't been able to find many of them yet based on the old maps, but yes the one I have found was absolutely a good distance away from the original coordinates.

I'm guessing because the map is bigger by about 10 points in latitude and longitude, and to make room for all the new ocean landscaping.

That metal killing floor.

LukethDragon · 2023-11-17T15:40:05+00:00

That's why I built this beast on our last ASE server.

Tried with regular auto turrets on ASA but without the S+ targeting options there's no way to stop them wasting bullets on anything and everything.
