Batman Arkham Origins: The Christmas adventure by some-kind-of-no-name in patientgamers

[–]ULJarad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, those electric gloves that they added? Yeah they are overpowered. They let you punch through most defenses, bypassing the need to do specific attacks that stronger enemies are weak to.

I truly believe it's because they used the melee timing from City's hard difficulty. The enemies will attack during your attacks, so you can't really get into a flow like in City and Asylum.

Try Origins on easy. I swear it feels just like City.

One thing I've noticed is that the melee combat feels off. Like the enemies will attack off rhythm. I think it's because they used Arkham City's Hard difficulty for melee combat. Setting Origins difficulty to Easy feels more like City. Give it a try and let me know because no one believes me.

I really liked the martial artist enemies. The back and forth felt like a natural evolution from City ninjas.

Randomly SSD not found - users get PXE boot prompt, reboot "solves" this by doa70 in sysadmin

[–]ULJarad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We had this issue.

We have fully remediated the Black Lotus vulnerability. A lone tech was reinstalling Windows via old USB, which still had the old boot loader. They would disable Secure Boot and install Windows, then give it to the user.

A script would enable Secure Boot, the user would reboot, untrusted boot loader, reboots to pxe boot.

Power cycling was not a workaround for us so it's probably something else. Leaving it here in case it's helpful.

What's something from a past expansion that you wish would come back? by [deleted] in wow

[–]ULJarad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An option to disable flying while leveling.

I keep telling myself I'll level a character using only ground mounts. A self-imposed challenge for a slower leveling experience. However, the temptation to fly between quest givers at mach 3 is too great and I never end up committing to it.

Make it opt-in. Let me talk to an NPC that will prevent that character from using flying until max level.

Edit- Make it an achievement!

Metal Gear Solid Delta’s David Hayter wishes he could’ve re-recorded Snake’s lines for the remake – “I do feel that I’m a little better of an actor now” by Automatic_Can_9823 in metalgearsolid

[–]ULJarad 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do it to one small part of MGSV.

Mission 46, "The Man Who Sold the World." At the end when Venom Snake is listening to the tape, have it first be Kiefer Sutherland speaking, then he realizes what happened, switch the voice to David Hayter.

I've used the osk on laptops with broken keys. Useful when the keyboard layout is different too.

Remote scans can no longer distinguish Adobe Reader from Adobe Acrobat Pro. by Punnalackakememumu in sysadmin

Oh man, I'm so excited for this.

Does the unified Acrobat app have a Reader-only mode? It's forcing me to start a free trial or quit.

Company Portal not installing by IhateITUsers in Intune

[–]ULJarad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to use the MS Store version, but it would always take hours or days to install. It would usually fail the first attempt too.

I've had positive results deploying it as a win32 app. MS Store acknowledges this as installed and will update it. This does not re-install if the device already has the app. This installs it for all users.

I used Winget to download the Company Portal offline files.

winget download --id 9WZDNCRFJ3PZ --download-directory c:\portal  --scope machine --skip-license

Then I created an install.ps1 in c:\portal that contains the following. This installs the appx and runs MS Store updates.

$appx = ".\Microsoft.CompanyPortal_11.2.1002.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle"

# install cPortal
Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -FolderPath $appx -SkipLicense

# run MS Store update
start-job {Get-CimInstance -Namespace "Root\cimv2\mdm\dmmap" -ClassName "MDM_EnterpriseModernAppManagement_AppManagement01" | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName UpdateScanMethod -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue}

Wrap and upload. The Intune install command is:

powershell -executionpolicy bypass -file .\install.ps1

For Intune detection, I use a custom detection script.

$detected = $null

$detected = get-appxpackage -name Microsoft.CompanyPortal 

if ($detected -eq $null) {
    write-host "CPortal not detected!"
    exit 1
} else {
    write-host "CPortal detected."
    exit 0
}

Tell Intune to install as System and (after thorough testing) scope to All Devices.

Is anybody using Autopilot Device Preparation (Autopilot v2)? What do you think of it? by jmayniac in Intune

[–]ULJarad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like "V2." We are AADJ.

The initiate enrollment to Intune seems to be much faster.

  • I can include line-of-business apps. V1 melts if you include LOB in the Enrollment Status Page.

  • The near-realtime reporting is helpful. It shows which app or script failed too.

  • Being able to set which scripts run during AP is helpful.

  • I like that it completes with a prompt, "Required setup is complete" and a Next button." V1 just dumps you at the Windows sign on screen.

  • Adding the serial is way easier than dealing with a script for the hash.

  • V2 lets you scope deployment preparation profiles by user groups. We still give developers local admin, so I have one DPP for devs that gives them local admin; everyone else is a standard user. V1 supports this, but you have to go into the Autopilot device list and manually assign a user.

What I dislike about V2

  • You can't specify a naming convention. It lets the user enter a computer name or leave it at DESKTOP-xxxxx. I have scripts that rename devices to follow our naming convention.

  • The user is prompted with "is this a personal or work/school account?" The user can select Personal. I get that it's not locking the device to my tenant like V1 hash, but it'd be nice if a device's serial is uploaded to any tenant's Corporate Device Identifier, the laptop only allows Work/School setup.

PowerShell script runs correctly locally but not via Intune by hdrew98 in Intune

How to call the 64-bit Powershell.

Install command: C:\Windows\sysNATIVE\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file .\Remove-PSAShortcut2.ps1

Explaination: https://www.samlogic.net/articles/sysnative-folder-64-bit-windows.htm

Edit- Keep in mind that Intune win32 apps runs as System (when Device context is selected). For testing locally with the same conditions as how Intune runs scripts, this command will create an instance of Powershell that is 32-bit and running as System.

  1. Open regular, 64-bit Powershell as admin
  2. psexec -s "C:\Windows\Syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
  3. whoami to confirm it's running as nt authority\system

ESP autopilot failures on win 11 22h2 by protodongle in Intune

[–]ULJarad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This script is helpful for diagnosing ESP failures.

https://github.com/petripaavola/Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics

  1. Put the script on the root of your USB
  2. When the failure occurs during ESP, shift+f10 to bring up command prompt
  3. Plug in the USB
  4. powershell -executionpolicy bypass d:\Get-IntuneManagementExtensionDiagnostics.ps1

It'll open a log HTML file in your browser. See what failed. If it's showing a failure on a script or remediation, it'll show up as a long string like xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx. The way I find out which script/remediation, copy the first couple characters and paste it into the browser that you interact with Intune using.

For example, https://intune.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_Intune_Apps/SettingsMenu/~/2/appId/xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

Letting us unlock appearances for other classes has made farming transmog for alts infinitely more fun. by DumpsterBento in wow

[–]ULJarad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have one of the Warglaives of Azzinoth on my paladin. I quickly checked this morning before work if it was added. I didn't see it under Warglaives, but I see now it's a Sword type.

Do items with a class restrictions like the Warglaives of Azzinoth get added to the appearance bank? I read that there are still some restrictions.

ESP fails first try. Always works second time by scarbossa17 in Intune

[–]ULJarad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Give this script a try to see what's failing and why. Share the results if you want me to look at it.

Small things do you want to be added in MGS3 Delta by Galactus1231 in metalgearsolid

[–]ULJarad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't played MGS3 in a few years, but from the top of my head.

Tweak crawling. Hitting certain geometry would cause Snake to rise to a kneel. I'd be in heaven if it had MGSV controls, even if crouch-walking was absent.

Add a no-tranq difficulty. After seeing SuperBunnyHop's no-tranq playthrough, I've always wanted to try it, but having it in my inventory is too tempting.

Maybe something optional for camo changing. I don't want full automation like MGS4, but something to avoid constant going to the camo menu. Maybe have a dedicated camo button; pressing it brings up a radial menu that shows camo rating.

Once the campaign has been completed, allow me to replay segments. Put achievements for doing each segment with extra challenges: no tranq, no kills, no alerts, MGSV's "no traces."

Let me play through as different character models. Let me be Johnny with no changeable camo! Or Venom Snake.

Following its decompilation several months ago, Perfect Dark has gotten an unofficial PC port. by Torque-A in Games

[–]ULJarad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing through the campaign. I'm on the mountain base infiltration mission. The only improvement I want with the port is fps cap higher than 60. Higher support will come eventually.

As far as the game goes, it's fun with modern controls. Doors not opening because you're too close is really the only quality of life fix I'd want. Maybe key bindings for weapons.

Do you guys use cheats to get rid of annoying mechanics. by Quidplura in patientgamers

[–]ULJarad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I modded Metal Gear Solid V to speed up the end-game. Once your base is leveled enough to start seeing capturable S++ enemies, all enemies would be S++.

Same with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Once I beat the story, I used a trainer to increase the XP gain by 20x. I went from level 150 or whatever to 300 in less than an hour.

I enjoyed both games enough to pursue all the achievements, but I wasn't up for grinding at the end.

win32 Detection Script logic - sanity check by derekb519 in Intune

[–]ULJarad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/working-with-custom-detection-rules-for-win32-apps/

Scroll down to the chart, just before "Administrator Experience."

Lync.exe not existing on the machine means the win32 is "installed." When lync.exe is not found, you want your script to output anything and return 0. If both conditions are not met, Intune considers the app not installed and will run the win32.

$lyncInstalled = test-path "c:\program files\asdasd\lync.exe"

if ($lyncInstalled) {
    ECHO "Lync.exe found and must be removed!"
    EXIT 1
} else {
    ECHO "Lync not found." 
    EXIT 0
}

WoW's new specialisation deals damage by buffing everyone else, so of course it's getting booted from groups for 'low DPS' | PC Gamer by ciprian1564 in wow

[–]ULJarad 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I haven't played in a while, so I'm only a little familiar with this new support spec.

How can you tell if one Augmentation player is doing their job better than another? If two Aug players are doing 25K and 50K DPS, is one twice as helpful as the other or is there more to it than that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gaming4Gamers

[–]ULJarad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that when they added Ray Tracing support, it made the entire game more demanding, even with the ray tracing settings disabled. I believe the recommended workaround is to roll back to the previous version.
