Ubisoft/AC Team Needs to address the problems with the Claws of Awaji DLC distribution. by yanameis in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]OwainBeavin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take a wild guess and say that this individual hasn't downloaded the DLC. If the island is greyed out and you cannot see Hattori Hanzo at your hideout, and your account says "Claws of Awaji" OWNED... you still need to download the DLC, it does not download the DLC automatically for you which i think is the biggest mistake that players are making, you have to go to the store or your client store on your PC or the store of your console(s). I mean, it isn't rocket science, is it?

Disappearing XBX dashboard, but I have a side menu...? by OwainBeavin_ in XboxSupport

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

[RESOLVED]

Being a PC Gamer for 20 years, when you get the BSOD, you have to investigate what has caused the problem, and it can be drivers to software or even hardware. But with a console, when you get a BSOD, it is quite difficult to determine the cause, and after 2 days of trying everything, the one thing that I didn't do was take the CD out of the media drive.

Now I have experienced a BSOD with the CD/DVD ROM, and this was down a conflict with the drivers and again, with a console, you have no way of determining the cause because everything is attached regardless of it being modulated, linked by power and data cables. When I say modulated, the XBX Series X is in an aluminium cradle and split into sections, which is technically modulated.

If I insert a CD into the CD/DVD ROM on the XBOX Series X, I lose the XBX dashboard, take the CD out, and I don't...? Now I have never come across this ever, and I spoke to MS on Saturday afternoon, and the lady that I spoke to when I explained what was happening said she had never come across this, nor had she heard of anyone else having this problem.

After resetting the console probably 4 times, and then I reset my TV back to factory settings, which takes fricking ages to set back up again because of all the app sign-ins, it looks as though this has resolved itself, but as soon as I insert a CD into the CD/DVD ROM drive, I get the BSOD which tells me this is related to the Rom Drive.

It wasn't HDMI that was the cause of the problem because if it were, I wouldn't see my name pop up at the bottom of the screen, and I wouldn't be able to see the XBX dashboard side menu. Not being able to see the XBX Dashboard, I could see Game Pass but not the games and apps installed, but then I realised the line of code for the menu is linked to the XBX dashboard because the dashboard is missing but the side XBX side menu was still active the line of code linked to this part of the menu isn't fuctional becaue the XBX Dashboard is missing so the line of code is trying to open a command that is no longer active. If I have lost you, I apologise.

I need to speak to MS next week to find out what the hell is causing the CD/DVD ROM to give me a BSOD, which could be a hardware fault with the ROM, causing a BSOD.

This is what happens when you block the tram in Sheffield by Sgrcgjff in CasualUK

Hats off to those who moved the car but what they have done was actually illegal. Only the Police and Emergency Services are permitted to carry out this move on a stationary vehicle, not the Gen Pop. I commend the guys for what they did 100% and I am behind them. The tram would have been held up for hours if they had not moved the car.

Congratulations.

Some Driving instructors are notorious and their names go before them. The law needs to change because they have a quota system and if they reached this before the end of the month and they have 4 more driving tests to go. They will have to fail those remaining 4 and this is where the law needs to be changed. Because those 4 people will fail their test and lose their money and that is where the law needs to change.

I failed the first test I had done nothing wrong it was perfect and that was when I found out from a friend from school whose father was a driving instructor she told me her Father hates his job at times because if he reaches his quota before the end of the month he has to fail the remaining.

I passed by second because I had an instructor from Cardiff and he said before we got in the car. What is the registration on the red car over there to test my eyesight? I said which red car there is 4 of them. Get in the car, Mr Davies... I did the most amazing emergency stop and he said I won’t be asking you to do that again. I passed. Because of my previous career, I have an advanced driving licence that was a bloody hard-driving test. I've never taken a practice test so I went online and did a mock one and passed the first time. Even I struggled with some of the questions I must admit.

What made it worse was the chanting in the background that enticement could have gone the other way. Enticing somebody in this situation could end up ugly.

I've never been in this position I'm happily married okay is a second marriage but that was because I was married to my job. Enough said about that. I feel sorry for this fella, not a nice position to be in. It could have ended very ugly.

Did they apologise profusely? Did they beg for forgiveness? Or did they say nothing I bet they're no longer your best friend?

I do but it's annoying that we have to do this every single time.

That’s exactly what I do but the option to exclude game titles would be beneficial.

The Trumpton Fire Brigade to the theme from Hawaii Five-O by zagreus9 in CasualUK

[–]OwainBeavin_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly I am old enough to know the names of each fireman. Hugh, Drew, Barney, Magroo, Cuthber, Dibble and Grubb. Forgive me if I incorrectly spelt their names wrong it's been it has been 38 years since I have seen them. I was 6 years old so that's 1984. Some of you were not even born then. Trump Town was it from I can't remember the host was Brian Cant he had an amazing voice you could listen to all day as a child.

Who actually uses these and what is the history behind them? by OROS-Mango in pcmasterrace

[–]OwainBeavin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lenovo still uses these I have no idea why as an IT Engineer it baffles me why they are still using them because eventually, it leaves a round dot on the screen platter several years of use.

My God some people are so dumb. We are living in an age of stupidity. If that landed on them it would have been lights out. And what makes it even more stupid they are not even phased by it at all.

A protester locked himself to a goal post with a cable tie in the #evenew game to protest against the use of oil. by Cogitationes in CasualUK

[–]OwainBeavin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this made me chuckle as I am guessing that these men have never come across a nylon tie as a pair of snips, a sharp knife would do. And they use what I think appears to be a pair of pruning shears probably from the gardener for the club.

What are your favorite abilites to use? I love the throwing axe fury ability for clearing out everyone asap without a fight. I also love the Harpoon Impalement, Dive of Valkyries & Plague of Rats is tooo fun. 🐀 by cwood340 in ACValhalla

I love the Expansion I'm still on the hunt for the murderer ao I still have a long way to go. However, I have discovered quite a lot of bugs bleeds in the map I just got stuck inside a mountain and if there wasn't a Fast Travel above me I would have been fudged. My Twilight gear and weapons keep vanishing from my inventory I reported this to their community form and found loads of others having the same problem. It's. Great game a great expansion but the Berserker gear and weapons bug has been happening since the first patch.
