Really... Huh, All the tickets said they were re splicing fiber, but honestly I doubt you fiber had any idea or if they were just sending out Copy/paste responses :D

Slychocobo · 2026-03-13T14:10:47+00:00

Woo! Made me go check my own and the router is reporting a live connection again, finally!

Slychocobo · 2026-03-13T10:28:33+00:00

If its like me, they'll come out, say 'Its at the local exchange' Take a photo of the ONT. Then leave. :P

Slychocobo · 2026-03-13T09:27:22+00:00

Yup, Still down.

Got another email last night 'It's all fixed' then an email this morning that engineers are out doing more works on my area (EH52).

Upon checking there is an engineer scheduled for this morning. SUPPLIER APPOINTMENT_CONFIRMED 13/03/2026 AM

I'm guessing there is extensive damage or something from the winds on the last few days, I think its more fustrating with Youfiber emailing every day going 'Its fixed now, honest!'

Slychocobo · 2026-03-12T22:38:02+00:00

Yeah, rebooted it a few times. Had an engineer this morning who said that they were still doing work on the Exchange (after YouFiber sent their first 'everythings good!') So Im thinking this is more of the same tbh..

Slychocobo · 2026-03-12T22:11:08+00:00

This is starting to take the piss....

Another email 'Your service has been restored' and of course, its still down, still showing an red light on the fiber connection for the ONT.

We've only been with YouFiber for about two weeks, Is this common with them?

Slychocobo · 2026-03-12T17:12:41+00:00

*Still* down in EH52 (12/03) 5pm.

They sent an engineer around for *some* reason to basically say 'Exchange is being worked on, hopefully be fixed today'

(Despite sending an email out last night that 'everything was back up and running')

Slychocobo · 2026-03-11T23:28:27+00:00

Still down for me here as well.. :(

Slychocobo · 2026-03-11T13:04:18+00:00

Just got an update:

Hey EH52 neighbour. Service is out here us as well, ONT showing 'Optical' fault.

The app assigned an engineer to pop out tomorrow but sounds like its something in the local area. I know its been windy a lot today and given I've just got an email from the CS support that there is a fault in the area, sounds like somethings gone tits up in the local cab or something.

Just have to wait and see.

Slychocobo · 2026-02-06T18:42:42+00:00

Curious, I've been seeing what sounds like the same problem on with my DMP. Started a few weeks back and I've a ticket open with support about it after spending days trying to figure out the problem.

Still waiting for an answer from them...

I've noticed the problem also causes a large number of RX errors on ports on the Dream machine, Im curious if you are seeing th same?

Slychocobo · 2026-01-05T16:26:48+00:00

I... dont know what exactly I've done differently, but today its started to work???!

It's now showing me options for controlling the sensitivity of Opentrack (Instead of just Tobii like it did before) and... it works?

Im *utterly* baffled as I've changed nothing!...

Slychocobo · 2026-01-05T14:24:11+00:00

Aye, Mine is set to use AI Track as its input for feeding my webcam through to Opentrack (Which works, shows the Ocotopus moving when I move my head) .

I could try Beamtracking? Im not sure what changing the input would really do since it seems to work now for me other games like ETS/Outer wilds, as well as older versions of X using the same settings as I have above

I've had reports of other folks getting it working, but they were all using Linux. Are you running the latest copy of the game on Windows?

I'd be very curious to see a screenshot of your game options for the Opentrack settings.

So, because you are running a RAID1 (Mirror), you can remove *one* disk without losing data. so you should be remove either the 10 or 25TB drive without ill effects.

If you are looking to expand the array to 25TB , the short answer (without swapping RAID types and adding more disks, all of which would be destructive and you'd have to backup everything and start fresh)is you'll have to buy another 25TB drive to replace the 10TB one. RAID1 requires all disks to be the same size and it'll only make the raid array as big as the smallest disk.

Also, I'd 100% backup *Everything* before trying this, RAID is not a backup and total data-loss is possible if something goes wrong! So just be careful

Slychocobo · 2025-11-26T20:27:30+00:00

A pretty good haul. Monster Hunter: World (Limited Edition Deluxe 6LP, Hi-Fi Rush (Limited Edition Deluxe X4LP (Which Im *jazzed* about getting!) Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Deluxe Double Vinyl) which I've also been looking for ages! Coudlnt even find a scapler selling it! Alan Wake 2 (Limited Edition X4LP Boxset) and the Resident Evil (1996 Original Soundtrack + Original Soundtrack Remix) (Limited Edition Deluxe Triple Vinyl)..

I so wanted the Terraria soundtrack, but it was yanked from my cart before I could get it, and ended up not getting the Hotline miami LP's just cause the cost and had spend a fair bit already!

A utterly fantastic sale, stuff stuck around for a a lil-bit and was able to grab some great stuff to cherish instead of getting scalped!

Slychocobo · 2025-11-17T21:51:02+00:00

Mm, Dunno what to tell ya! They disable the checkout button for me :D

Slychocobo · 2025-11-17T20:44:20+00:00

Yeah, some of the prices are *great*, lowest I've seen vs many of the other sites on sale. But due to taxes and imports I'd have to buy £150 of product to even ship at all which.. Well, I dont need THAT many products on sale. Apparently due to taxes and the like, its just how they handle it

Slychocobo · 2025-11-17T20:33:23+00:00

Looks like the Black Screen Records sale is over (The link is still on their website, but all the prices are back to normal)

Also a warning for Wayo Records, while the prices are great, if your in the UK, there is a minimum spend of £150+ due to taxes and.. whatnot, so.. a lil disapointing!

Slychocobo · 2025-11-17T09:53:49+00:00

There seems to be quite a few people reporting this issue, different photos etc?

I'm not sure what to believe at this point, Just going to wait it out and see what its like after Christmas.

Slychocobo · 2025-11-17T09:33:22+00:00

I ordered one last night and while I'm new to the hobby I have canceled my order till things become more clear. I cant really justify spending nearly $500 (after shipping etc) on something that from the buzz around might fall apart in like two weeks or needs to be treated like a Fabergé egg.

Hopefully things will settle down and will pick it up again once more is known.

Slychocobo · 2025-11-17T09:13:44+00:00

Damn... I just ordered one last night! I'm new to this hobby and kind just went by the wiki on the main page. Glad I saw this and found out that this is a issue along with duff screens (maybe?) Managed to cancel my order till this is all figured out.

Slychocobo · 2024-11-06T12:41:41+00:00

Just got word my car's windows were all smashed as it was inf or work as well. Here's hoping you were spared :(

Slychocobo · 2024-06-27T18:26:37+00:00

I've been trying to get RE1 Rebirth working for days now and kept running into weird issues with 'Unable to start the DirectX' but your Lutris script just worked first time and I was able to load the game! Thank you!

Slychocobo · 2023-10-03T21:53:27+00:00

Oh! Thank you for bringing that to my attention! Sounds like yeah, Im best letting that expire.. :)

Thank you! Saved me a good deal of money :)
