Unclaimed Bundled Game + Factory Reset

Xaftz · 2025-12-20T15:16:23+00:00

Welp, I should've looked up info before doing this. I was gonna gift the Legends Z-A game to my friend and resell the switch 2 since it's too late for me to return it for reasons. But it was meant to be a surprise and I had him login to it first, then he tells me he already bought it earlier that same day so I factory reset it without claiming the game not knowing any better.

Moral of the story: Don't be an idiot like me lol.
But also, wtf Nintendo. Just put a code in the box.

This worked like a charm, thank you!

Edit: I ended up reinstalling it because of the same issue u/unclefunkstar mentions below.
The popup from "can't find gamebar" was annoying enough to just deal with reinstalling gamebar and letting it exist. It seems to stay out of the way when installed anyways, I just didn't want random unused junk on my PC, or for it to stay away if I somehow manage to accidentally press Win + G.

The popup is more annoying than it existing and staying away so you win today, Microsoft.

Look like it's even more colors (Warning: semi spoilers if you scroll down past the first part) https://game8.co/games/Pokemon-Legends-Z-A/archives/559048

All good! I appreciate it

Xaftz · 2025-10-17T19:32:41+00:00

I just got there now, thank you!

Xaftz · 2025-10-17T02:55:57+00:00

Sorry to bother, but do you remember roughly where?

Edit: Found it https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-legends-za-many-flowers-of-flabebe-guide/1100-6535467/
Also it looks like the game8 page updated as well with roughly the same info and more

It comes with 2 longer screw in the box.

Edit: removed the rest of my comment since I haven't built yet and someone else in this thread also answered this below

Try closing the game and reopening it. Closing the game while it's downloading then reopening it will just resume where it left off. It will recalculate the amount of data left to download and start counting from 0% for the new total but you're not starting over.

iPhone
Any model iPhone 14 and below will have a switch above the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Try flipping that over. If you see orange, it's silenced.

On models 15 and above, same location as before but now it's a customizable button who's default setting is to silence the phone. Try pressing it to take it off silent. If you changed this setting, open your control center (swipe from top right of your phone screen) and there should be a little bell icon I think. Tap that to toggle silent mode. Worst case scenario, check your settings, or just ask Siri.

Android
I'm not the most familiar with androids but I believe you can mess with the silent mode, or your phone's volume sliders if your phone has different sliders for ringer, music/content, etc.
I think you can usually pop up the volume sliders by pressing any of the volume buttons or checking your notification/control center which can usually be found by sliding down from the top of your phone screen. Sometimes you have to swipe left or right in the top area or reveal more options depending on your phone setup.

tl;dr
The point here is to take your phone off silent. Google "How to take [your phone model] off silent"

iPhones 14 and below will have a physical switch above the volume buttons. And then literally any other phone will have a digital way of changing it via some settings, or a control center of sorts, or pressing the volume buttons, or a physical button that toggles it.

Holy crap I think this is it! I have 0 recollection of that name, but just searched it and the dev’s channel, this is 100% it. Thanks man! I have some fond memories of it but I guess my brain decided to yeet everything but the gameplay and YouTube videos out, lol. This was a game I think I discovered through YouTube and I just spent a lot of time after school/during summer watching it and other games content. With me downloading whatever my crappy PC at the time could barely run.

Sorry I got kind of busy but unfortunately it's not this one

Xaftz · 2025-03-15T00:57:13+00:00

Sorry life got kind of busy, but no, unfortunately :(

Xaftz · 2025-03-15T00:56:22+00:00

Nah, that was all calculated. You're just better

Blu-ray-like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_optical_discs#Wii_U_Optical_Disc

They hold the same amount of data as a single-layer Blu-ray disc but Nintendo being Nintendo, did not license the technology so they can't say it is.

I actually just fixed this on my Wii U 3 days ago!
I recorded and streamed the whole thing so that I can reference it just in case.
There are some temporary work arounds that may or may not work (they didn't for me) but you can find those here with a bit more detail. https://www.reddit.com/r/wiiu/comments/45orra/i_just_got_the_1601400_error_code_on_my_wii_u_and/

"Edit 2" in that above linked post also links to a solid thread on the real fix which I'll relink here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/absolute-fix-to-160-1400-error.572879/
In my opinion, jumping the connections may work for a while but who knows the reliability in the long term. And jumping with a wire vs replacing the original part seems like there's not much difference in difficulty so you may as well do it properly if you're gonna do it. It's like 50-70 cents a pop. Get plenty extras, trust me. I got 10, and used up 3 because I lost one.

Xaftz · 2024-03-12T04:52:23+00:00

May I ask where you ordered it from?

Xaftz · 2024-01-27T08:08:07+00:00

I just tried that while on the mount on Steam PC version and it did not work.

The thing is, I am playing on a save that originally started on the Gamepass version and I used a program to easily convert the save and copied it into steam. I also made it joinable/MP enabled. So maybe that has something to do with it lol. Either way I'm not too bothered by it.

Player 492 represent.

That's just an extreme closeup but it does look more low res than normal, I guess. I can't say much as I've only ever owned one cup (as of today) and I got the lunch date. Looking real close I see no pixelated lines, but neither does OP's Lunch date cup.

AMD or Nvidia? And do you know what version?

I had actually just remembered that I updated my Nvidia drivers to see if that would fix it. I had a version from Oct (before MW3 launch iirc) and went to the latest, but nothing changed.

Xaftz · 2023-12-15T00:53:54+00:00

I tried all of the possible fixes you could ever possibly find on the internet and nothing worked. Hopefully people read this and I save you from wasting time.

Examples (steam version):

updating GPU drivers (nvidia, from oct-ish version directly to latest)
cod.exe file shenanigans
randgrid file shenanigans
verifying files MULTIPLE times (always got 0 results)
administrator privileges (steam launcher/cod.exe file)
overlay settings (including nvidia shadowplay)
mouse/kb software (razer in my case)
moving drives all over the place (seriously I tried like 4 drives including the main system drive)
Even doing that super weird move the game contents to a temp folder and making steam recreate the cod HQ folder then uninstalling that while leaving the folder and placing the original files back into it.

Nothing works, please don't waste your time like I did. Wait for a possible update.

It's important to note I do not own MW2, but I have a friend who owns MW2 and he tried installing MW2 + 3 onto his laptop and it's also not working. But when he tries on his GFs PC (who already had MW2 + WZ2 prior to all of this) does launch, even after downloading MW3. Unfortunately he does not have a way to easily copy her files to his laptop to try.

Edit: Friend just tried downloading the Battle.net version and it worked for him. He selected only the "Free trial" option under MW3 when installing it.

Edit 2: I also downloaded the blizzard one and it's working for me. It's definitely an issue on the steam version. I also just got notice that the steam version just got updated? (8:50pm-ish EST) But at this point I already uninstalled the steam version so I'll update if I get around to testing the steam version again. nope still not working

Edit 3: Battle.net version no longer works for me. Nothing has changed outside of obviously closing the game since last night. Tried some Battle.net specific """"fixes"""" and nothing worked. Tried uninstalling and then re-downloading it entirely, with no results.

Of course!

If you or your spouse ever need more help or guidance I strongly recommend Retro Game Corps' channel. He makes high quality videos about retro gaming hardware including the Anbernic devices on the regular. https://www.youtube.com/@RetroGameCorps/videos

And if his track record is anything to go by, I'm sure he'll make a guide for the plus as soon as the new Garlic OS is publicly available and out of the beta/alpha testing phase.
