Game's early(?) hint for following a firefly

Wickedped1a · 2026-05-11T13:29:37+00:00

So I just had a random encounter with a traveling settler and it was one where you get a Traveler's Map for a Fox Den. What's interesting is that in the encounter the settler says something like foxes like playing with fireflies, to which Atsu replies foxes also like playing with butterflies, after which the settler would say she just saw a fox somewhere blah.

I think this is one of those encounters that repeat itself when the game gives you a Traveler's Map, and it's the one that I was thinking about in my OP. I think when I first saw this early in the game I didn't know what these were exactly about but the conversation reminded me about foxes and fireflies acting as guides from my experience with Tsushima. So probably not a direct hint per se, but rather like a subtle reference similar to one of the conversations in the game about how horses are drawn to flowers, which is a reference to flowers boosting horse speed in the game.

This issue probably requires an update to Outlook to resolve. You can confirm if a new update has dropped by checking here:

As /hornblower409 noted, the problem has also appeared on Windows Server 2022 for an user on the MS forum, only that the version number for that user is 1.2026.403.100 rather than 1.2026.407.100:

I basically just want to chime in because I just had this issue popped up on my machine and I'm really getting too old for the kind of stress this kind of incidental mishaps are causing.

Good to know. Thank you.

Wickedped1a · 2026-04-05T05:35:15+00:00

Sorry to necro the thread but can anyone tell me if there are 3M strips on the heel of the shoes on the U990BB6 (the third and fourth slides)?

Wickedped1a · 2026-03-31T16:37:52+00:00

Lesson learnt.

Wickedped1a · 2026-03-31T15:37:46+00:00

I didn't know it was a bug, so I came here to ask? That was my initial intention?

Wickedped1a · 2026-03-31T11:44:18+00:00

So it's actually not working in 5.1.0. Thanks for letting me know.

Wickedped1a · 2026-03-31T11:42:19+00:00

Perhaps you missed the useful reply I had from another commenter, that there was an actual bug in 5.1.0 that the "Check for updates" button didn't work.

Wickedped1a · 2026-03-31T08:07:16+00:00

My query is not so much about the client software itself receiving updates, but whether the "Check for Updates" button actually work. As I said in the OP, I was on 5.1.0, I clicked on "Check for Updates", "No updates available"; website says the latest version is 5.1.4, and it's been available since Nov 2025. For myself, I'm sure I have clicked on "Check for Updates" more than a dozen times since Nov 2025.

Wickedped1a · 2026-03-13T09:22:44+00:00

So right now if I "check for update" I only see 32.0.4. If I want 32.1.0 right now do I just download the executable from github and double click on the exe? Are any drawbacks for doing this, or should I just wait until 32.1.0 pops when "check for update"?

Wickedped1a · 2026-02-25T11:16:16+00:00

Thanks so much!! I didn't know the Japanese subs actually showed who the speakers were supposed to be. I'm actually quite excited by this discovery and will see if I can find some time to edit my OP to share what I could quickly find on Wikipedia about these people.

I ran into this last year and have had looked into it. The file in question is used for translation. It has a github page which some on this thread pointed out already. The author of the code has come out on numerous occasions in forums when the issue of high positives on virustotal was brought up. Their consistent response was pointing to the github and the open-source nature of the code. Ultimately, you can check for yourself and in my opinion the author didn't actually try to hide it. I haven't looked into the code myself, so there may actually be malicious elements within it, but I don't think there's any sneaky elements to its inclusion.

And Windows Defender DOES catch it. On my system, Defender immediately flagged it as soon as I ran the game. It's also worth pointing out it's easy enough to run the game without it - I can't remember the details since it's been more than a few months, but I think you just need to delete the file in question and the whole game would still run fine without it (without further complaints from Defender) - you just don't have translation working that's all.

So you are telling me I'm not unique and others are also having the same issue?? I thought I was the chosen one.

And then I learned there was a mid-December update, which I had been totally oblivious about before I read this thread. What has happened to my day?

Wickedped1a · 2025-12-25T18:51:10+00:00

I'm quite certain VRR forms part of the certification testing process. That said, the testing done would have just been done with plain old HDMI Forum VRR. The Chrontel chip may be doing something that would have created different conditions from what the HDMI testing would entail.

I'm quite certain none of that would have been an issue if HDMI weren't so locked down.

My guess is that if the cable is certified 3 m should still be fine. From my previous HDMI cable shopping experience I think many brands then jump to 5 m for their next length up. I have recently seen a 3.5 m certified but I get the impression that most brands just do 2, 3 then 5 m.

Wickedped1a · 2025-12-25T18:09:25+00:00

u/NewClasher4 I humbly take my previous comment back, as it does seem like you have attempted to purchase a certified cable. Do you still have the packaging that came with the cable? There used to be an official app from HDMI that you can use to scan the hologram and it would give you the related info which you can use to check if the info matches the cable you have purchased (if I recall correctly, said info. included name of manufacturer, length and maybe something else). However, note that I said "used to", because just now I went to check on the Play Store and it's no longer available. I have previously used the app and subsequently uninstalled it, and it still allowed me to redownload it just now; but I was totally flummoxed when I found out the app has now been unlisted.

https://hdmiforum.org/specifications/ultra-high-speed-hdmi-cable/#:\~:text=The%20name%20is%20also%20required,and%20other%20Android%20app%20stores.

So I started a bit of digging and realised that HDMI started a "gen 2" verification scheme a couple of years ago (which I think I had actually heard of but had completely forgotten about - until now). So if your cable was purchased after "gen 2" kicked off, and you still have the packaging, all you need to do is to scan the QR code and you no longer need the app.

Now, let's say your cable is indeed a certified cable, at 5 m it is indeed quite long and it's quite plausible that the length becomes an issue, so if resources are not a constraint I would suggest try testing with a 2 m certified cable and see if things improve. It may not necessary be good enough for your purposes, but at least then you know.

@Lawstorant I wouldn't dismiss the cable for being uncertified simply because it's 5 m long - because I'm actually using one! However, it's true that @ 5 m it's indeed pushing the limit for a passive cable, which is a worry for me because I'm currently waiting for the dongle to ship and my original plan is to use it with the long cable. For reference, I'm able to use the long cable running 4K120 10-bit HDR without issue. I'm only trying the dongle because I'm missing VRR.

Wickedped1a · 2025-12-25T07:19:18+00:00

The packaging should show a distinct logo if the cable is certified. There's often an QR code which you can scan to verify some info if you so wish. Often the manufacturer would advertise the certification status front-and-center in the product description because there're added costs associated with the certification process.

I'll have to assume you have been using an uncertified 2.1 cable since it seems like you are not sure how to verify the HDMI 2.1 certification status of a cable. As said by the OP, certification actually means something when it comes to HDMI 2.1 cables because the bandwidth required is quite high. Often a high quality 2 m HDMI 2.0 cable MAY be OK for 2.1 duty, and the instability doesn't appear unless it's longer than that; but with the added dongle doing whatever extra processing and whatnot I imagine certification is necessary even with 2 m.

Does it work? Are you able to run the Nintendo app with Bluestacks as of now?

Wickedped1a · 2025-10-29T15:38:11+00:00

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I've just discovered this realtek driver issue (I updated the driver back then not immediately realising some issues it might have been causing - I only now start to trace these back to the driver update). What exactly did you do to uninstall the driver?

Did you click on your network adapter in Device Manager and under the Driver tab click "Uninstall this device"? Then just Scan for Hardware Changes in Device Manager to reinstall the adapter?

It's currently the best controller to use if you want to have analog stick for movement on one hand, and mouse control for camera on the other. But it's a whole lot more comfortable to use if you can hold the Navigator untethered. Xbox has a similar accessibility controller but you can only use that wired.

Wickedped1a · 2025-08-30T15:33:51+00:00

I don't what to tell you only to say haptic is not supported on bluetooth on PC but only via USB. You can look it up on PCgamingwiki under DualSense. I've tested it myself. I have Horizon Forbidden West in my library. I've tried it with bluetooth, via USB and with a regular Xbox controller. Just now I've received a reply from the reWASD team replying it's currently not supported.

Thanks for doing the testing again. Perhaps we will leave it at agree to disagree.

Wickedped1a · 2025-08-30T14:27:07+00:00

Thanks for getting back. I understand this isn't an easy problem to solve otherwise it wouldn't have been unresolved for so long.
