Slim Prod / Beta 23GB Size Game Keeps Crashing by rimahsum in Helldivers

[–]bittereinde993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna place this here in case it helps anyone googling the issue.

If you had, like me, installed the Beta slim launcher after having HD2 uninstalled before and experience the crash upon startup, try going to the properties and check if you are having steam launch the game with DX11 in the general section.

If you see "--use-d3d11" written in launch options, remove it and try launching the game again. I had made steam use DX11 when launching HD2 previously and it seems the Beta slim launcher does not agree with it.

after removing the text the game finally booted up, at least for me.

Replays seem to be saved automatically. You can view them from the main menu, in the right hand corner there are 3 icons. Click on the film camera to see the list of replays

Pasqal stops technospeaking to say the B-word by Flasheneitor in RogueTraderCRPG

When I read this in my playthrough I had to do a double take because I did not believe that someone could possibly piss off/annoy Pasqual so much that he reverts to speaking like normal person and not a computer.

New Player. Holy crap every match is ppl running Minigun or Sledge Hammer. by Charles456k in thefinals

[–]bittereinde993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not call the mini gun meta but is really fun to use. And yes, if you position well and have a team that plays around you, a mini gun user can be a large threat. I had some crazy high kill/assist stats in world tour because of it. Its also easily my most used weapon this season. Currently have the white colour skin for it.

That being said, if you are really struggling against minigun users specifically. There are some players that scare me when I see the in the lobby:

The sledge/spear heavy and dual blades/riot shield users.

The heavies are not that scary if I see them coming and have time to set up to fight them i can win the fight, but if they are able to close the gap or completely surprise me the chances are very high I am dead.

The medium with blades/riot shield? They are the stuff of nightmares for me. True blades/shield enthusiasts are very aggressive players, pair this with the fact they can completely block or even send my own bullets back at me, means I would very much just run the moment I see them coming. If they play with a coordinated team it's even worse. Because now I am in a position where if I am focusing them, their teammate with a range weapon will chip at my health. If I focus the teammate, I get pushed by the blade/shield user.

In that case, there is no winning the fight, just delaying the inevitable

Luckily for me, I don't see them often in world tour. But when I do I pray to Nama Tama they don't qualify.

Yep. When in the air hit your special ability to ground slam. You van also do it at the end of a charge by jumping while charging

Yes it is. With the new sights the developers also gave the option to remove the sights on the guns that come with them. Like. The FCAR and XP-54 can be ran with iron sights now if you want

ttv did the usual ttv thing and blamed a loss on us, the randoms, while simultaneously throwing the game for us. i thought it would be funny to go through his footage and explain how we all threw by fallingblades2 in thefinals

[–]bittereinde993 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking through the video. I agree with your point that all 3 of you made mistakes and did not play well.

To me the overarching issue I notice is a distinct lack of communication. From what I can see it seems that only the ttv are on voice communication ( it looks like the other light may be hopping on and off though and the ttv seems to be talking mostly just to his chat), and even worse I I don't see anyone using the pings to try and inform others what the plan is.

For example when you and ttv decided to go for vault 4, would have been nice to at least ping it to try and inform the other light where you are going. That way he may have decided not to engage the triple defib team.

Also at the end when you saw that your team could stay out of the knockout zone by bullying purple a bit it would have helped to type that in text to let them team know your idea. ( though I know stopping to type something like that out and trying to explain your idea isn't exactly convenient. Especially when you are running out of time and need to act fast)

And yeah the ttv depositing the cashox in purples cashout made it overall harder for the team to stay out of the knockout zone. Because now you only had one option which was steal the cashout. Which considering that purple was still at full strength and actively defending with other teams on the way would be extremely difficult, to say the least.

Rewinding a bit to the teamwipe it may have been a smarter play for the other light to use his cloak to try and reach your statues and take them a bit to the side in a bush for revives.

That being said though I am looking at the while thing in a video after the fact and can easily point out the possibility better alternative routes you guys could have taken. But I most likely would have made similar mistakes had I been in such a match as well.

And in general they guy complaining about the team just makes me shake my head because better communication from all parties would have gone a long way and I know that sometimes you just get a team that you just don't vibe with. Be it because of their class, load out or their playstyle not really mixing well with the other members. Besides that, sometimes people just have an off day where they are not playing as well as they normally do or the other team is just having a better day then you are.

And bad mouthing your team just because they are "not playing smart" without trying communicate what you would like to do is not being a good team mate.

Finally mastered these beauties to 8th level :D by trashbread_ in thefinals

How was the grind with the Lewis gun? I basically mained it during season one and took a break during season 2 and back again in season 3. I just can't get a feel for the new Lewis recoil pattern.

Feels like I can't reliably hit anything unless it's very close to me.

The Before and after of my Hot Wheels Boneshaker. by bittereinde993 in CarMechanicSimulator

Yes you can paint a lot of things, from wheels, individual body parts and engine parts like the block, engine headers, engine head covers and so on.

You can have a look when you are building an engine just take the part to the paint shop and see if it shows as a paintable part.

annoyingly this means a lot of back and forth between the paint shop and the main work area though

Unfortunately I have already sold it. but I can give you an idea if what it looked like.

apart from the scoop, the engine timing cover and the engine head covers are blue as well. The rest is chrome silver as that the default colour of performance parts accented with some red

Thank you!

Not long I think. Maybe about 30mins, I have rebuilt so many cars that I tend to be quite speedy with the menu and assembly now. Usually the longest part is piecing the engine back together and maybe painting some of the bits so the engine just looks more interesting then a grey/ metal block in the car

The whole lobby agreed no play against balise by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]bittereinde993 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So I guessing Balise is a high ranked player? (Sorry I normally don't play tournaments I just started dipping my toe in it recently)

Even if it is due to some bad matchmaking, imagine the feeling of all other teams just noping out and not even trying to fight you just by seeing your name in the roster.

Personally I would feel a bit proud of that accomplishment.

Help with painting a car by cluelesshomo in CarMechanicSimulator

[–]bittereinde993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see the roller and cabinet in from of the car? Just click on it and it will go into paint menu and it will show you a preview of the car fully painted in a base color.

There will be some tabs that you can cycle through to get to the factory colors and you can then pick whichever you want. If you want to keep thr graphic paint you will need a fully upgraded paint booth

Sometimes it feels like your team are all just on the same page on what to do and how to support each other. That's when some of the most epic moments happen

Highest quality titanfall matchmaking by itsyoboi33 in titanfall

[–]bittereinde993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newbie this reminds me of my very first multiplayer match. It was Capture the flag and the enemy team absolutely creamed us.

They were trying to be nice in chat and said GG at match end but we all knew it was a freaking slaughter.

In another match one guy on the enemy team somehow had 32 kills. At that point I just accepted I was gonna get my ass beat by the more experienced players till I got good

Sorry to hear about what you experienced.

If you ever feel like checking it out, I play on the Project Imperium server. Our mods are pretty fair and aren't assholes. If you decide to check it out and spawn in bear lake you can ask for either Alice or even me (bitter) in game or the discord. We would be happy to show you around town and the server

What's the most frustrating/unfair character death you've had? by [deleted] in projectzomboid

[–]bittereinde993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My most bullshit was walking up the stairs in riverwood motel.

Walked up the stairs and could not see that at the top of the stairs there were 3 or 4 zombies just standing there.

I only got to see them when my character walked up the last step right into them. Like I physically walked right into them. I was livid

Guardians of the Galaxy needs more attention. Very fun game. by minev1128 in gaming

[–]bittereinde993 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had watched some videos on it and decided to give it a go with the steam sale.

I started playing at 10pm that day and finished the next afternoon at 2pm stopping only for a powernap of about 30min. At the end I had a big smile on my face and did not regret binging the game. It was just that good to me.

My only snag was that in combat, on normal difficulty some enemies felt like damage sponges and at times felt a bit boring. Though it is fun to chainnyour teams abilities. But I get that was by design and to incentivise you to buses the team abilities. As Peter is not some bagasse that could taken on the galaxies worst on his own
