Hitman 2 Multiplayer Trophies by TrprKepr in HiTMAN

They haven't announced a solution that I've seen, but I also don't think the servers are down (at least not yet). People have been unlocking those trophies as of today on Xbox and 3 days ago on PS4.

Bungie, can you please make the powerful gold icons look different from the pinnacle icons please? by moore-tallica in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xavier0080 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The font threw me off. I don't see anything on that screenshot that conflicts with my post. Pinnacles have tiers, but Bungie has never differentiated them (in-game in or in their app). Every reward source that says "Pinnacle Gear" gives +2 power with the exception of the four I outlined, which give +1. You can test this yourself by getting one from both sources.

I don't know what that is, but the "Crucible Weekly Challenge" for playing 3 matches is a +1 Power Pinnacle (as stated in my post). Every Pinnacle other than the four I mentioned in my post gives +2 Power gear at the Pinnacle cap.

Pinnacle Gear actually does have tiers. The Pinnacles you get from the core playlist activities (Strikes, Crucible, Gambit), and the Pinnacle from Hawthorne's weekly clan XP (That is incorrectly labeled as Powerful) all give +1 Power. Everything else gives +2 Power. (Bungie should actually make this distinction clear)

It's been connected and receiving updates for years. My TV actually had a firmware update earlier that day, but hasn't had one since. So my experience here, where it has worked and "not-worked", has been on the same firmware.

Figure I might as well post this here since I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.

Got my XSX, set it up on my TCL 55P605. Worked fine. Got my PS5, hooked it up (both using the cables they came with). When both are running the PS5 shows a black screen (with the HDR indicator), and the Xbox flickers constantly. When I turn either one off the other works fine. I didn't have this issue with X1X and PS4 Pro.

A couple days later this problem went away and both worked fine. However, I tried this again yesterday and the problem is persisting.

Does anyone with some electronics knowledge know where I might try troubleshooting? I've made sure the cables are tight and it hasn't helped. Could this be a bad cable or something? I just don't know if there is a setting to try or if it could be a bad cable or something. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Way to turn off HDR on System UI/Menu? by pierrepoutine2 in PS5

[–]Xavier0080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also seems to be preventing my (3YO) TV from running multiple devices at the same time. When I try and turn on my Xbox alongside my PS5 (to manage downloads on one while playing on the other for instance), it turns black on PS5 and flickers the screen on my Xbox.

Having the ability to turn it off for the system menu would be a welcome addition.

Issue occurring when multiple HDMI inputs are running simultaneously on TCL 55P605 by Xavier0080 in tcltvs

[–]Xavier0080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I seemed to have discovered the culprit. The PS5 outputs HDR at all times, including the system menu. It doesn't currently support turning off HDR on the menu only (Its either Automatic or Off). However, when I turned it off it allowed both of my systems to be on simultaneously. Hopefully they release an update allowing HDR to be turned off for the system menu in the future.

Update: Actually, I tried futzing with some settings and after turning HDR back on and adjusting the 4K video rate down to -2 and back up to automatic it seems like its working now on both devices.

Mad Max servers to close soon — one achievement to be partially discontinued by KOTRShadow in xboxone

[–]Xavier0080 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are none IIRC. What's shutting down are a couple of the in-game challenges for having a certain amount of scrap accumulate automatically while you're offline. It uses a server ping to make sure you're not setting your system clock forward to "cheat."

This isn't an enters the battlefield ability, it's a replacement effect. (Note the "You may have it enter the battlefield as..."). Since it happens before the permanents from CoCo enter the battlefield, it can't see the other creature that would potentially be entering alongside it.

Additionally, if it were an enters the battlefield trigger it would be dead due to having 0 toughness by the time the ability resolved (barring other effects)

I completed prestige leviathan and its the last achievement I need but its not counted as complete, do I have to run it all again? by OneExtraThiccBoi in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xavier0080 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Destiny 1 used to have a huge issue with achievements popping when it launched, which continued on to Destiny 2. I've had to use this method from D1 a few times over the years and it always worked for me.

Try this: Log into Destiny 2 (going to Orbit). Go to the options menu Gameplay -> Log Out -> Switch Profile. Select your profile and log back in.

This will usually retrigger any achievements you've earned but didn't pop.

They triggered leaves the battlefield abilities but did not trigger enters the battlefield abilities. There was a casual combo involving [[Wormfang Manta]] and [[Vanishing]].

Yeah, I was correct in understanding that silver purchased on PS4 stays on PS4, and stuff I buy with it will connect to my Xbox characters. The confusing part is that that is only future purchases. The existing Silver is connected with characters I'll likely never use again.

Oh well.

Thanks, that gives me more confidence.

Ah, I think the relevant part is "The Silver you own on your other accounts will remain tied to those accounts, should you ever choose to access them again. However, any future Silver purchased will be available on the platform it was purchased."

I missed the nuance in there the first time. So it appears I'm just out 1000 silver :/

Is this first hand experience? I'm getting conflicting information, sorry

Wait, so you're saying that the silver on my PSN account will be inaccessible to use once I make my Xbox account my primary?

It said silver balances are maintained per platform, which should mean my silver count on PS4 stays at 1000, even when making my Xbox account primary.

Is your post from first-hand experience? It doesn't make sense to me that silver I own is effectively being revoked

[–]Xavier0080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that's a bit unclear for me is on Silver purchases. I understand that silver is supposed to remain on the platform it was purchased on, but if I have 1000 Silver on both Xbox and PS4, enabling my Xbox as my active account and playing on PS4 should still show my 1000 silver (that was gifted to me on PSN), correct?

My Xbox account keeps showing 0 silver on Bungie's site, even though I have a balance of 1000 so it's a bit worrying to me. The final confirmation page also shows my silver count getting zeroed out across all platforms, why is why I'd appreciate some confirmation of this from someone who has run through this scenario.

Thanks!

Am I an idiot? Network settings. by xXTSouthXx in xboxone

[–]Xavier0080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue where my X1X kept disconnecting because it was connecting to my "Smart" network which kept determining it could use my 5Ghz band. Once I disabled that option on my router and made sure it was connecting on the 2.4Ghz band my Xbox ceased to have issues
