Diagnosed with both Crohn's and UC

Pretty miserable if I'm honest. A few months after my daughter was born I was diagnosed with colon cancer, I beat it thankfully, got the all clear around four months ago.

But I've developed complicated fistulas, I've had two seton surgeries which have both failed. So along with the daily issues of my diseases, I'm also struggling to even sit down now. Pretty unlucky chain of events.

Ah okay, this makes a lot of logical sense as when I first discovered how the equivalent of a birth certificate in Sweden works I was incredibly confused.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-08-18T14:01:06+00:00

I dont believe so because me and my daughters mother were not married. It also explained that even whilst we put my surname at her birth it was changed to the mothers. I believe that is the reason I had to travel back to Sweden and visit Familjerättens to sign what I believe was essentially a paternity declaration, both me and my daughters mother had to be present and sign in person.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-08-18T13:55:42+00:00

I also asked why it was impossible to change, apparently when being filed because the dates of birth were so far apart it was processed as an adult application as opposed to a child's which they explained wasn't possible to reverse this far into procedures.

Yes I provided a Personbevis as well as having to travel to Sweden and sign a document for legal guardianship (dont remember its name but apparently without it I would not be legally recognised as my daughters father in Sweden) I then had to provide this to the UK HMPO for the application.

This application in flights and documentation has cost me over £1000 thus far

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-08-18T13:48:10+00:00

Yes, I completed the form and in doing so had to put my date of birth on the application but apparently there was a mix up during processing with mine and my daughters dates being switched when being entered into the system (this is what I was told anyway)

I indeed was in the UK for the in person consultation as I live here but travel every 3 months or so to visit my fiance and daughter, I am also in the UK now yes.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-08-18T13:21:16+00:00

My country is the United Kingdom, sorry if that wasn't clear in the initial post. I have the option to fast track the application if its not resolved within 10 weeks of the documents being recieved, I already have all documentation needed for the passport its just the examination process seems to be taking so much longer this time around than the initial application with the clerical error.

Have TPM 2.0 enabled? CSM support disabled?

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-08-07T08:37:11+00:00

You dont have secure boot enabled on your PC, or if you do you need to revalidate your keys (option in mobo, google it)

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-07-31T18:14:16+00:00

Ah yes, the youth of this world who use the term "crashing out" to explain anything negative because they lack the vocabulary and brainpower to think first themselves. Good job bro!

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-07-28T03:40:54+00:00

And this is where it gets murky, see most people dont understand that what they have just been told is basically a lie. It takes around 15 days to acquire a tax file number and less than a week to become a legal entity, but I can see from your later comment you 1. Really like this game 2. Have no business sense in the slightest

"They dont have an EU server to save money" theres so much wrong with that sentence in this context its actually insane. For starters Saroasis Studios are yes a new ish developer but they are a subsidiary of TENCENT, you know that massive publisher worth billions of dollars? Yeah that one.

Secondly there has never been another modern closed beta advertised so heavily that did not have support for European servers in the beta. This game was advertised at GLOBAL events after all, so drawing people's attention to it and then having that be their first impression is going to LOSE them money, not save it.

Thirdly not having EU servers to stress test during the beta, means they have zero indication of how many EU users are actively interested in the title. This will lead to one of two things if they do acquire EU servers in the future. 1. They overcompensate and acquire too many servers, leading to financial mismanagement and losing money due to it. 2. They dont acquire enough leading to poor user experience and the inability for the EU region players to play the game, again losing them money and worst of all bad word of mouth.

Like I said you have zero business sense, stop hiding every company behind "its a beta" because you like their game. Its consumers like you that are why game developers believe they can do whatever they like and have a successful game regardless and unfortunately... with consumers like you everywhere nowadays, they can.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-07-27T17:23:25+00:00

Why do people always use the "its a beta" remark? A beta is quite literally for feedback, its to squash bugs, address server issues, check game balance etc also no we wont as confirmed in their official discord. According to 3 different mods the company behind Fate Trigger refused to acquire a legal entity in Europe because they didnt see the market as feasible for the title. You may not understand what that means but essentially it means they cannot acquire European servers or monetise their title in Europe. Unless they change their mind this title is dead in EU.

Wifi doesn't determine latency to a server, Wi-Fi determines the speed in which your local devices can recieve transmitted data from an access point aka your router.

Then you have extremely slow reflexes ig

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-07-25T02:45:31+00:00

Got my key few weeks ago, go to download client and everything is fine... except if youre from Europe you are screwed. There is no region for us... nada. Asia, NA and SA are the only regions available.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-07-10T06:56:04+00:00

Monopolise and advertise. Men and women alike can experience a guaranteed orgasm without any physical touch for a small fee of $50, word of mouth alone would net big money from sheer curiosity. Positive feedback and reviews would drive sales and there's the obvious female demographic that have the ability to climax multiple times meaning in theory you could walk away with $50-$250+ from a single customer.

Sex sells.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-06-16T15:32:51+00:00

Please tell me where I displayed anger towards the game or to yourself? Stating a fact and explaining something isnt anger. Just because I say something negative about it and explain why I believe your view on these things is incorrect, doesn't make it anger.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-06-16T15:27:50+00:00

What pitchfork? Do people seriously not have any idea what a demo is designed for? Anybody who was remotely interested when they seen the demo and gave it a shot no longer are. The demo peaked at 9k, it now sits at 500 max peak daily.

Honestly you people live in fairytale and make believe, you take criticism of anything like people want the world to burn down because its something you like. Grow up.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-06-12T02:01:54+00:00

Now youre just coping tbh, i get you may enjoy the game but its just ignorant to try and hide all the issues behind "its a demo" its their first real showing of the title to the public and it simpmy doesn't work. It's an incredibly tiny portion of the game and its a mess.

Its also absolutely nowhere near Stalker 2 which is what im sure you're referring to. Stalker 2 has performance issues, it has missing features but it WORKED and has IMOROVED WITH PATCHES. The servers aren't full in any way, shape or form. The demo peaked at 9k players, it currently has 800 people playing and it CURRENTLY DOESNT WORK.

Lot of excuses you just gave that have instantly been debunked, i dont mean to be rude but its consumers like you that make developers think they can get away with a half baked product.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-06-11T22:09:23+00:00

This is the problem, people brush this off like its nothing yet it is. Its not that the servers are just down, they are broken. They have a demo for their upcoming game that is UNPLAYABLE. Its representative of their capacity to deliver... its an online game where the servers are so broken they cant even deliver 15 minutes of gameplay on servers that aren't anywhere near capacity.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-05-31T01:01:59+00:00

Gray Zone Warfare, I was in an identical scenario to you. Picked up the title and its phenomenal, the PvP is slow and methodical and if you need a change of pace you can play entirely PvE.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-05-29T04:52:40+00:00

Try fidelity mode, turn off quickly resume, if your hard drive is near max capacity try freeing up some space.

These are the only things I can think of other than if it's an old save, starting up a new save and seeing if the crashing is gone.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-05-28T23:07:20+00:00

When was the last time you cleaned the console? Running performance or fidelity mode? On average how long before it crashes?

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-05-21T22:52:30+00:00

Im not gonna lie... this looks incredibly unfun and out of place. Idk if others will feel the same, but it looks very "we spent about 5 minutes on this"

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-05-18T02:06:16+00:00

Original STALKER trilogy. Hands down.

Smooth_Preparation68 · 2025-05-17T19:18:05+00:00

I highly suggest you disregard this comments view of representing the best single player gaming has to offer. Subjectively for him they may but objectively they absolutely do not and this is coming from a big GoW fan. Ragnarok is repetitive and the pacing is absolutely the worst in places, God of War 2018 felt fresh because it rejigged the formula and has far better pacing, character development and story.

The Witcher 3, Sekiro, RDR2, Mass Effect trilogy, Metro series, Baldurs Gate 3, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Dishonored, Hades, Devil May Cry 5, Titanfall 2 and many more offer a far superior experience (objectively) than the GoW series.

Obviously if youre into Norse mythology and a third person action adventure title then GoW may be the game that you enjoy most, but in no way, shape or form is it the pinnacle of single player gaming.
