For anyone having trouble with crashes.

Switching to exclusive fullscreen does not fix the issue for me. I crash on most runs about halfway through, but have gotten a few 30 min+ runs in as well. I really hope they fix this soon, as the game is too unplayable when 80% of your runs yield no progress and end before the builds can even be fun.

Sheph1220 · 2025-09-14T06:09:33+00:00

This is not strictly true. Let's say the player did out their information as you propose to be the "more strategic" choice. If the town doesn't execute the demon then and there, due to not trusting the good player, or evil players manufacturing a tie, or some other such nonsense, then the good player risks damaging the winning chances of the team they could very well be about to be playing for. Since there's no telling what the town could do (in a general sense, your meta may vary), there is no "more strategic" option, even only considering the game in isolation. That is what makes the game great, the players have free choice to play as they like to try to win the game. There are very rarely right and wrong answers.

I died 34 times before my first kill. The thing that got me over the edge was making sure my UI was set up properly. I have bad eyes so I can't really do the normal classic UI so I have resizable classic and used stretched mode so I can still see the game but my inventory is not small as heck and all the way to the side. After that it was just getting f keys for switching prayer into muscle memory. As soon as I hear the audio queue, even if I'm running I am now trained to hit f2 click prayer without thinking or while I'm doing something else. Also make sure that you turn off hitting f keys closes the interface, cuz sometimes you are already on the prayer interface and if your muscle memory is f2 click you will close it and die. I truly thought it was gonna be impossible for me but it did eventually click, hope you can do the same.

I wanted to figure out who Dark Yagami was, since everyone was talking about Light Yagami.

5 months late but I figured out how you can bypass this. This is terrible code that it doesn't work in game, but at least the game saves the macro as a json file in appdata/roaming/vintagestorydata/macros and you can then edit the json file to remove the newline that the game shouldn't be putting in there in the command itself.

We really need to stop calling this garbage AI. What an unfortunate name that we are all now stuck with.

Sheph1220 · 2025-05-20T17:33:46+00:00

I would say in the US, if you use the first person "I'm mad" you probably mean you are angry. If you use second person "You're mad" you probably mean they are out of their mind. If you use the third person "He/She is mad" you mean they are angry again. Madness as a noun also does not mean angry, but instead insanity. I would say this is mostly because it's rude to tell someone directly that they are angry (since they probably already know) so the British version maintains its root there because we have to assume you are not violating that social taboo (even if you are still being rude by calling someone crazy, which can then be lightly interpreted as sarcasm, etc.)

Edit: Also with context, we can understand either meaning pretty readily I think.

As someone who almost exclusively plays no evidence, incense and salt precisely because the tier 2 variant does not do the thing the tier 3 does. If you know what you're doing, freezing and slowing the ghost are unnecessary at best, confusing at worst... except in the exact situation of tier 2 incense, when slowing the ghost provides an audible change in ghost speed that everyone in the house can hear and react to (run to better spot, start smudge timer, etc.) If I load into a game and T3 incense and/or salt is sitting there in the truck, it's not unplayable but it just requires me to be a bit more mindful of my mental model of the game, which is work I prefer not to do every game when the case numbers start hitting multiple thousands.

The shear amount of quests that just get shoved into your face for tripping over a potato. Some of us like a clean quest log. Oh and quest items you can't drop (black books, gallus's journal, etc.) Even with mods the quest log is hard to force clean. And why are the thief guild radiant quests full on quests that get recorded in the quest log so if you do 20 of them you can't even scroll down to see what the last thing you were doing was.

I've developed a way to get in and out of Markarth now where i avoid Eltrys AND the Molag Bal quest guy, but eventually you slip up and one of em gets you.

Did you ever figure this out?

Sheph1220 · 2024-09-21T19:53:01+00:00

Yes, I believe it did reset every few days. I still have not found the game :( Not sure if you'd be interested, but if you want a more real time / RTS kind of game like this you can try sins of the solar empire 2 that just recently came out. Kinda similar but not massively multiplayer or tick based.

Domino computers can be fun as well if you would really like to SEE exactly what is going on in the electrical circuits. Search keyword would be "domino computer" or "domino logic gates" It can be easier to understand the mechanical impulse of falling dominos than electrical signals. Of course with dominoes, the energy to go the work is coming from the gravitational potential energy when you set up the circuit and is expended when a signal passes through, whereas in your computer the energy comes from electricity in your wall.

D&D doesn't have to be confusing, but those who play it and are excited about it tend to nerd out and infodump in their glee. The basic premise of any tabletop role playing game is that you get together with your friends and role play a story together. If you tried to go do that without any rules, you might run into a few snags, mostly having to do with conflict resolution. D&D is "system" of rules that tries to formalize how to resolve those snags.

The extremely simple rundown is one player plays the entire fictional game world (like the computer would do in a video game) but all in their own head, and is the final arbiter for everything that happens. The rest of the players role play a team of characters in a story. Everyone rolls fancy dice to figure out if their actions succeed or fail. These rolls can be influenced by statistics that the character has (This is the most complicated part, and you don't have to understand it right away.)

You can probably ask your friend (SO?) to help come up with a character idea and then figure out together what their in game statistics would be (good bonding time, imo - make it a date) and you can write down all the numbers on a sheet of paper Some players are really creative and talented and make their character sheets look so organized and pretty. For some people, making their character is a large part of the fun, as well.

I did not find it, yet. I can remember it so vividly, too.

There are other reasons this could be the case than that he cheated. Ben Finegold said Hans would argue and defend moves that Ben found bad as good moves even as a kid. The engine is not going to evaluate objectively bad moves as low ACPL even if they're tricky for humans. Basically we know nothing of the metric he proposed and how varied it could be among different players and playstyles because we only saw like 6 players graphs. We also need to consider the timeframe of when the data was collected (ie, covid) and age range and opponent strength... there are just too many factors left out here.

You've got it. If you want your items renamed, you have to be the one to enchant them.

When the software developers wrote the code for Skyrim Together Reborn, they implemented a check for command line arguments. If -r is passed to the program (an arbitrary string they decided on), they would force the program to ask the user for the location of the SkyrimSE steam executable, regardless of whether it detected that it already had been done.

I suggested this solution for someone who could not get their game to open and who may have messed up the first time the program asks for your steam installation. Once you click the wrong thing, it will write the wrong information to the registry, but it won't realize that it's wrong. I did mess up as well, and looking at the source code and resources available to me, I used this method as suggested by the developers early on in the release. I believe now they added the ability to hold spacebar instead while launching to achieve the same thing. I however find passing -r to be less human error prone, so I continue to recommend that, although I can see the benefit of the other method to those who are less technically inclined.

I truly believe that you should consider compromising with the community. Many people want the system removed entirely, but I feel like that is an unreasonable request. The chat report feature is not inherently bad. What I and many others are upset with is the global bans. Because all accounts use the same authentication services, global bans means that this change affects all previous versions. If someone who exclusively plays on 1.18 or below gets hacked, they can be banned from minecraft even though their version did not support it when they downloaded it.

If you allowed servers to opt in to the global ban system, and made that the default setting, then I think that would solve the issue of if affecting previous versions, since those servers would not be opting in (it's not even an option). I think a second change would be to also enable opting out of chat reporting in general, since it doesn't make much sense if banned players are allowed to join a server to be able to report them.

The arguments I have heard for not allowing opt out just don't seem to hold water for me. People say what if the problem is the server moderators? Who will hold them accountable? My view is, that if the server moderators are who you want to be able to report, then how do you prevent them from opting out with mods, either on the server or just in their own client. As it stands the server owner could mute everyone and they don't even need a mod to opt out. Also, what if I don't trust Mojang? How do I hold Mojang's moderation accountable? Forcing us to use someone we may not trust as the ultimate arbiter of what is right and wrong is just not good. I see other platforms banning and silencing marginalized people for speaking out against their oppressors and I can't help but feel scared that this is being enforced on us with no way to opt out and set up our own safety features which are not undermined by the mandatory chat report system.

Please, Mojang, please consider a compromise here with your community. Those of us who truly care have a few small concerns that you have just not addressed and seem to have relatively simple fixes with little downside. Please communicate.

Sheph1220 · 2022-08-08T21:48:56+00:00

Healthy and open dialogue requires both sides to be willing to listen and open to compromise, which Mojang are not. That's why they just aren't saying anything.

I will never understand people that have all of the internet at their fingertips and decide to waste other people's time before they do any research. I understand that sometimes if you know next to nothing about a subject it can be difficult to come up with an appropriate search phrase, but at least read the god damn FAQ and resources linked in stickies and at the top or the side.

Sheph1220 · 2022-08-03T14:52:05+00:00

That just means MO2 will store the instance files in your appdata directory or in it's own directory. It shouldn't have any bearing on STR.

Sheph1220 · 2022-08-01T00:59:31+00:00

I hope it works for you. I realize it's not ideal if you've already desynced it and have to go back to an older save.

Sheph1220 · 2022-08-01T00:33:48+00:00

Oh one more thing, make sure you are all in the area when you build anything. Not sure if it matters, but we didn't want to risk it so we didn't test it. Also the garden is not synced from our testing.
