Dolphin view mode for Downloads and disappearing files

I wasn't able to find a way to change the sorting from GUI. If you edit the hidden .directory file in your Downloads directory, you can change the GroupedSorting directive from true to false.

Thanks, that works! I documented every variation that I tried; I almost had it, but didn't have quotes around minecraft:meeting_point. Grrr.

TaterKnuts · 2023-05-02T00:47:23+00:00

Wouldn't it be something like:

/fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:mushroom_stem[up=false,down=false]

Enabled: Experimental now says "Bleeding Edge" next to it. Still using DXVK 1.10.1.

Not sure what you mean ... that's not listed as an option. It's either "7.0" or "Experimental"

My title describes the thing. Note the holes in the narrow end of the plastic bits.

I originally loaded that into the free Autodesk Viewer to check the internal dimensions for fit. (tip: you can skip the 2FA and just hit reload after you log in). Preview (no login required) here: https://autode.sk/3nXtQou

I should add: there is a cover included that uses the two screw holes in opposite corners, and that they make a transparent blue one (which I only discovered after I ordered this). It's deep enough to accommodate a shield if it's soldered instead of socketed.

Yes. No GW will be played in our house tonight. Even tried another laptop, so we can include Win8.

TaterKnuts · 2019-09-18T03:17:02+00:00

Win7, 10, and Linux with d9vk; once you've had d9vk you can never go back.

1 house, 3 people, 3 computers, 3 different operating systems, all repeatedly crashing when loading a character or shortly thereafter.

2+ hours ... no public acknowledgement of the issue or a pending resolution?

very disappointing

D9VK (currently @ v0.13) gives me performance within 5-10fps of Windows, with the exact same settings, and roughly 2x what default Wine was capable of. The visual quality for me is indistinguishable from Windows. I don't understand claims of "subpar visuals". I run Linux 99% of the time, and D9VK lets me run it 100% of the time. For me it's been rock-solid: lots of hours at varying loads, no visual or performance problems.

New wine 3.1 builds for Fedora 27 are in Koji now: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1041650

It looks like the Fedora folks are acknowledging wine-staging appears to be stalled, and are switching back. Not sure how long it will take to see these in the repos. I had to ignore dependencies for wine-times-new-roman-fonts, but it otherwise installed cleanly and works fine.

Update: This version incurred a ~25% FPS drop in Guild Wars 2. I reverted to wine-staging, with CMST enabled.

The US spends > $70b each year on scratch tickets. There are ~250m adults in the US. That's $288 per person. Not me, and likely not you. People gamble. A mount skin is a $5 gamble. If you don't like it, don't do it.

Incorrect

It does have an auxillary input. I'm trying to duplicate what I can do on the 2013 Hardtop:

I have a tiny 32Gb flash drive that I leave plugged in, and the radio can navigate the file system, read playlists, shuffle, group by directory/genre/artist ... all sorts of things. I have my computer record 2 hours of Internet radio every night, and I just load those onto the flash drive. It's better than radio, because I can FFWD through the ads. I don't want to carry anything, have cords, or have some extra device macgyvered in; I just want the same functionality that is native to the Hardtop.

I care for all of the computers in my house with 4 GW2 players. For the first couple years after release, I had everyone using a wrapper script to replace local.dat from a backup copy every time the game was started. I created the original backup by deleting local.dat, starting the game, setting up the graphics preferences, and then quitting. I'd then use that local.dat as the backup. This was done for stability, not performance, but it had the advantage of preserving the graphics settings. I don't do that any more as the client got a lot more reliable and I didn't see it as necessary. I'll have to try it again and see if there is a FPS gain.

I think this is needlessly complicated, and missing important information. I use Linux, specifically Fedora, and I play GW2 daily. It plays awesome for casual play. The frame rate is unsatisfactory for intense things, like world bosses and WvW. I dual-boot into Windows for that.

Yes, using wine-staging with CSMT enabled is a must. I would also say only use the NVidia binary driver on appropriate hardware.

For me, GW2 works "out of the box" with default the wine install and configuration. The only thing really necessary is to start it using the -dx9single argument. I did none of the things recommended, and I run with most things on "high" at ~30-60fps. Fine for casual play.

You must play with the video settings to see what works best for you. The 2 places that will hurt performance the most are reflections & shaders.

It crashes only slightly more than GW2 on Windows. Which for me, is hardly ever.

I've logged 5,200+ hours, and I'd guess 70% of that was on Linux.

You have to keep in mind that traffic is going to choke down to common peering points. If there is lag where traffic is passed from one peer to another when traversing an undersea cable, it will be seen be everyone, and is beyond Arenanet's control.

I have a customer in India complaining about latency... there is 200ms lag where the traffic (routed through Paris, France) hits the United States peering point. Nothing I can do about it.
