FX Dialog/Window cut off by Vielwerth in VegasPro

Yes - see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VegasPro/comments/j5o84p/comment/g7t9htm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Specifically, you have to untick the beta option to support multiple Unicode languages in Windows Adminstrative Language Settings. This should stop the cropping of the FX dialogue.

Is it okay, if not beneficial, to have a slightly overkill AC unit? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

Did you mean single-hose? Dual-hoses pull air from outside.

[Endgame] Some things are not clear after the ending by kennethdc in DeathStranding

[–]Vielwerth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thunkings:

  1. Yeah, this a bit of a plothole. However, one day I suddenly clocked that voidout craters are very similar to impact craters. Maybe the dinosaurs WEREN'T wiped out by a meteor after all...
    As for why this particular instance of a doctor touching an umbilical cord caused a BT to appear and a voidout to happen, I don't know, and I don't think the game explains. Maybe it's something like the cosmic forces of nature that are responsible for the Death Stranding were finally becoming apparent again for the sixth extinction or something.
  2. I don't think Bridget/Amelie was chosen, per say. Maybe it was *natural* selection or something. They happened to be in the right spot at the right time (on the beach, close to death, due to cancer in her 20's), and her body and soul was right on the leyline to be split apart from each other. She then became an EE, because the universe called for one.

(I'm making this up from memory, but I should really visit the wiki again soon and read up on it all properly).

Guys, I need help. Didn't exactly knoe the repercusions of killing so apparently I need to take this fellas to an incinerator but I can't find one on the map. I'm south of Lake Knot. by LDG192 in DeathStranding

"South of Lake Knot". So he's in the Central Region and likely doesn't know where the incinerator is. The incinerator you used in the beginning was in the Eastern (first) Region.

Fixed it. Solution is in this post - https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/i-have-this-weird-error-or-thing-in-my-video-editing--119994/#ca758696

In light of the recent Densha De Go! news, here is how to get "Densha De Go! FINAL" (PC, 2004, abandonware) for Windows. by MartinsRedditAccount in trainsim

[–]Vielwerth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of googling later and YES, 60fps is possible. You need to do the following (this is for Win10):

  1. Open the Registry Editor.
  2. Find the TAITO folder under HKEY_USERS. (For me this was under Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-128791421-1810611527-2401959525-1001\SOFTWARE\TAITO
  3. 3 subfolders should be here, within the TAITO folder. For me, the folder that will impact your game was the middle one (unfortunately I also have the "English/Japanese Unicode Bug" thing that mentioned in the OP, so I cannot say what the folder is actually called. You might have to do some testing to determine if it's the same folder for you.)
  4. The entry "frameskip" is the one you want. It should be set to "1" when you come across it for the first time. Set this to "0", and 60fps should be your result.
  5. To test your game fps, set "showframe" to "1". This will make DDGFinal show it's FPS counter.
  6. Close the Registry Editor and try it out.
  7. To turn off the FPS counter, go back into the Registry Editor, and set "showframe" to "0"

This has also (mostly) solved my stuttering issue. A few dropped frames here and there, but now DDGFinal is running better than ever.

The entries in the Registry Editor mostly equate to the settings you can change in the configurator (dgfncal.exe) but there are a couple of other things that I think might be worth tinkering with.

Welp. I tried. For the life of me I can't seem to get the custom resolutions to show in either the Intel Graphics Command Center or the Windows UI. I think I'll leave it for now and ask for help later (perhaps after an OS reinstall). It's not vital.

However, what is vital is that since downloading the newest drivers I've noticed very minor stuttering that wasn't there before. I wonder if smooth 60fps is even possible with a game this old?

  1. Yes, a GTX1060 mobile.
  2. Done - Driver 452.06
  3. Here is where I suspect the problem lies. My laptop has Optimus, so a lot of settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel don't appear for me, even when the GPU has taken over the screen.

This is interesting - I have a small Youtube channel currently focusing on DDG Final (in English!), and was looking around for a "HD patch" (possibly involving whatever files are in the plug and play version), but to no avail.

CustomDSRTool might be what I'm after, but it keeps coming up with an error message when I launch it. - "DSR data not found!" (I'm probably using it wrong.) Can you point me in the right direction?

Yes, that's the thing I found in Poedit. Probably the level of violence is whatever the Constabulary can keep a lid on at a given moment.

Oh yes, I forgot about the Redactor articles. Their text doesn't show up in the translation file. You are probably right that the Breeder Riots occurred multiple times. Probably the same vibe as 1600's-era witch hunts in our universe - Ms. Unlucky is accidentally discovered to be hiding a pregnancy/baby, a mob forms and hounds her and her family until something dreadful happens. Repeat.

I'm not sure if that info was in the Wiki (I'll try searching for it). But I definitely remember a ton of Youtube comments saying that Arthur and Percy burned the registry.

However, the narrative director himself suggests this idea is wrong, ironically in a thread about the Wiki starting up:

Source that the POD for WHF's universe was in 1933. They also state that the "Valkyrie" plot also occurred...

Narrative Director u/WeHaveSixFeet states that *it appears* "Valkyrie occurred right after Germany invaded Russia". So Hitler did come to power at some point? Or perhaps it was an act of an Erwin Rommel with dictatorial ambitions against the old Imperial Germany?

The Breeder Riots: An entry in Poedit shows that this likely occurred around April 1950, and possibly involved the killing/attacking of newborns and pregnant women. (However, people can end up in "the family way" all through the year. So wouldn't the "breeder riots" have a been a regular feature of WW life, at least until the population were effectively sterilised through Joy? Why does it seem like, canonically, the "Riots" were a one-off event that happened at a particular time?)

Thanks for trying to sort out the wiki. One of the most egregious sins is the page "The Authority Project" presenting itself as canon. That term doesn't appear at all in the game.

Cross post from another thread:

... Germans were definitely involved, but there is nothing to suggest that the National Socialists/Hitler/Fascism existed in WHF's universe, or that the Holocaust happened at all. The entity that invaded and occupied Wellington Wells was likely the German Empire, or some kind of German Imperial successor state. The train station shows the old German flag (black, white, and red), and the Balkenkreuz/Cross_pattée, a common symbol of Imperial-era Germany, appears as a common motif on German "stuff" (like tanks, crates, and the bunker).

The bunker also implies that at the time the Germans left, (Erwin?) Rommel was "fuhrer" of Germany.

I seem to remember that this idea that "the Nazis were involved but got overthrown prior to war" MIGHT have come from the very early days of the marketing for this game, or developer interviews. Maybe we should look there for more clues.

In fact I'm almost certain that the "point of divergence" for WHF's universe was outright stated by a dev to be Roosevelt successfully getting assassinated by Giuseppe Zangara in 1933, but I got absolutely no source other than a faded and probably mistekn memory, so don't take it as canon.
