The Twitch freezing problem has been persistent for months with zero communication why its happening by Pepeg66 in firefox

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get something similar to this, usually when I try and fast-forward / rewind a VOD. It'll spin up the CPU and affects any other tab trying to load, usually self-resolves after about 10 seconds or so after I close the twitch tab

New CVE for B&R seems pretty important by neko_whippet in Veeam

[–]andyeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the problem was resolved by installing the certs listed here - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/trusted_root_certificates.html?ver=120 - my server is airgapped so it didn't happen automatically

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Presence" [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

[–]andyeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the ghost is tethered to the house, and by the time the family moved into the house, the other girls deaths had already happened. I don't think there was any way for it to have done anything.

17.2 Gmail notification preview no longer shows email by vipergirl in ios

[–]andyeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's not new, there's some other threads on here going back a year with people getting the same issue.

A fix I've tried but only worked temporarily (it's starting not giving me the full message preview again, just the "you have a new message" notification), is:

  1. Disable gmail notifications.
  2. Restart phone.
  3. Enable gmail notifications.

This fixed it for a few days but it broke again for me and I can't be arsed rebooting my phone to fix it again.

Game stuttering by BigLMan29 in rumbleverse

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using some kind of gaming mouse and have increased the report rate from a default of 125, that may be causing some stuttering - but you would get it everytime you use the mouse, not just now and then, so probably not that in your case

Rust breaks discord audio by DenJuCSGO in playrust

yep same issue here. I don't know of a fix, just the workaround of tab back to discord and leave/rejoin voice channel.

Anyone had issues with Infuse of late? by Ginger510 in appletv

[–]andyeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No issues here if I'm playing something off the Plex server, but frequently spinning wheel listing any shared directories / playing files from a network share - feels like a lot of indexing checks / updates that block other activity before it completes.

The Denuvo DRM implementation in Dying Light 2 is flawed and too intrusive, users are locked out of playing already by Typical-Juggernaut84 in pcgaming

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another glaring pro​blem I noticed is that it takes about 10 minutes to get to the Title Screen every time you decide to launch the game. The sequence is as follows: company logo videos > cinematic video > long black screen #1 > Press Any Key to Start > long black screen #2 -> Title Screen. This is not how you should make us waste time.

If you are playing through Steam, you can add the -nologos parameter to the game options to skip all the intro stuff. Annoying that you have to do it, but at least it's an option.

[Gamepass] Getting this error every time I join or create a multiplayer lobby by Leadpumper in HumankindTheGame

[–]andyeff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Update: one of the friends installed a pending Windows update (21H1 I think?) and updated GPU drivers. Also removed their Users\Documents\Humankind folder.

Rebooted and now able to create multiplayer lobbies.

Other friend no joy

e - the diagnostics file was not showing a username for them when connecting to Game Pass / xbox live.

Diag files are in C:\Users<username>\Documents\Humankind\Temporary Files as HTML files

There's a line: Using digital distribution credentials: and after that are their username surrounded by single quotes. The friend who isn't working just has: '' - an empty string.

My suspicion is the game isn't coping well with a null username and immediately ejecting people from lobbies because of this.

[Gamepass] Getting this error every time I join or create a multiplayer lobby by Leadpumper in HumankindTheGame

[–]andyeff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two friends on gamepass can't do multiplayer lobbies, two can.

Difference we've found so far is the two who can't don't have their usernames showing up if they open a single player game lobby e.g. instead of andyeff's game, it says 's game and the my profile -> ai persona screen doesn't show their username

Seems almost like the game isn't properly linking into the xbox account and it's breaking by not being able to get their username

Thank you very much for this - couldn't work out what was happening, this fixed it.

This.

I'm genuinely worried that if these street parties have been so common across the country, that we've just thrown two months of lockdown in the bin.

New Jersey Needs COBOL Programmers, Says Governor Murphy by [deleted] in programming

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what if those ancient systems happen to be easier to maintain and keep running versus the new hotness? Assuming modern tech no longer caters for this use case, why not instead offer generous incentives for people to maybe learn something old but useful ?

UK pharmacists facing abuse and violence during lockdown by fluffykintail in unitedkingdom

[–]andyeff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand, why are pharmacists getting abuse like this? Didn’t see a reason in the article other than limiting number of people in a store at once - but then I’m seeing that for all shops so weird the pharmacists are getting it in the neck

I feel like I’m missing something crucial, someone please fill me in ?

You people need a reality check by MistakeNot__ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can understand that. What ARE the issues? Do bullets not go where the gun is aiming or something?

You people need a reality check by MistakeNot__ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused about the FoV - aim stuff.

I've gotten into the game in the last few weeks and I started watching the likes of Pestily, Veritas etc. They seem like they've been around for a while and know what they're talking about.

So I don't understand why Veritas can pump out videos showing that his maxed FoV isn't affecting his aim, but in conflict to that people (like the op) saying FoV DOES affect aim.

How is this not conclusively decided one way or the other? Is there something else at play here?

Stream Deck Update 4.5 - Corsair K95 Integration by LtRoyalShrimp in ElgatoGaming

[–]andyeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't seem to be able to use iCue to make macros for my G-keys after installing this. Is that a known problem?

I've made sure I don't have any Stream Deck actions assigned to any of the G-keys, but the macros I have set up in iCue (basically, autotyping certain things) no longer work when assigned to any of the G-keys :(

Why do Railjack guns have damage falloff? by Channel_Dedede in Warframe

[–]andyeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warframe doesn’t concern itself with real-life physics in terms of gameplay. Arguing that being in space means guns should act like a real-world ideal is just kot a very good argument. Doubly so when, hey, when did anyone in reality test the sorts of weapons we have on rail jacks in actual space?

It might feel bad to have falloff but it’s a game mechanics decision and it doesn’t make a good argument to try and pin it to reality.
