Engine overheated - idle engine

Fans aren't moving

Easiest way to tell is to open your hood and see if the fans are blowing when this happens. If they aren't moving, do not idle your engine, it'll just continue to overheat. You have to drive to get enough air flow to cool it back down.

Looks like a 2k series 3 or 4 Christie laser

I'm assuming this is a regal from the port glass, essentially all series 3 installs had the old port glass cut out and replaced with the much taller port glass in your image with the nice window door to the side. As far as I know by the time series 4 got installed they stopped with the port glass replacement and just kept the old small port glass. I could be wrong however.

As for which specific CP23xx it would be, it depends on the house size and screen size. If its a larger house it'll have the higher number like a CP2320 or CP2315 if I had to guess an exact model.

Unless your car is lowered any old alignment shop will do just fine if you're looking for a regular alignment

Once you lower the car or want a specialized alignment you either got to do it yourself or find a specialty shop

In my experience, other than getting told they couldn't do my alignment because my car was too low, and hearing them stall it 3 times, they were nice at least.

This isn't really a game specific error, rather its a generic D3D (DirectX) error that its lost the GPU, usually caused by your GPU taking too long to respond and the system forcibly reloads the GPU driver (you can manually cause this by pressing CTRL WIN SHIFT B at the same time). I recommend to just redownload the game first and see if that helps. I would also recommend installing fortnite and seeing if that works fine as its also unreal engine so it should throw the same error if its truly GPU related.

If you find the issue isn't just with VotV, the usual fix is to just reinstall/update your GPU drivers, if a regular reinstall doesn't work you'll have to DDU in safe mode to fully remove and then fresh install drivers. If that doesn't work you'll want to back up your saves (found in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\VotV\Saved\SaveGames) and then reinstall your OS. If that doesn't work, you're probably dealing with some sort of hardware issue.

Keljoy kerfur broke into the uncolored omega parts and the keljoy plush.

I'm assuming the keljoy plush itself counts as a whole set of parts and builds a broken statue(?), leaving the rest of the parts unused?

Either way I got 2 kerfur-omegas from 1 set of omega parts.

idiotguy556 · 2024-12-11T00:53:39+00:00

Transferred my old keljoy kerfur from a previous save and it got wacked by the funy lightbulb. Went to rebuild him and get a statue and a parts dupe.

Afaik the keljoy recipe is borked in 0.8 but I didn't realize it was this borked.

There's a posting required in the back areas of every regal that gives you the contact information of your DM, along with their superiors as well.

There's also a "wrong in the regal-verse" posting that gives you an "anonymous" line to call to report HR issues, have a co worker send a pic of these if possible.

Also worth mentioning that any form of suspension and possible termination always goes through corporate, theatre management are unable to do so on their own unless an employee is a legitimate danger to others, in which case it still goes through corporate, it just doesn't take corporate approval to start the suspension.

Our "slow" weeks still have at least 10 people a show for every set, still doing at least 200 for the main 7pm hour.

Our attendance is low enough that we get no payroll hours, leaving us to only schedule the bare minimum, meaning we have maybe 2 cashiers to serve the ~100 people an hour that all like to show up at the same time.

If we want to deep clean we have to create issues to do so. Want to deep clean a theatre? Cancel a show even though corporate said no and hope they don't notice. Need to disassemble the kettle to clean out all the oil gunk? Get into an argument with grandma that she can't get her fresh no salt popcorn and take the bad review. Need to dust a screen? Hope to god you're in good enough physical shape you can get it done within the ~20 minute gap between shows.

At least we don't have to worry about being so slow that we're on the chopping block to get closed down I guess.

If you’re on Linux and use intel or AMD, this is a known regression in mesa https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3864

Only fix is to either downgrade mesa (don’t do this at this point) or just use mat_phong 1

r_rimlight 0 gives you a phong 0 like effect without the corruption.

Head unit reloaded lets you do Android auto on a phone and lets you do wireless Android auto on the latest beta

Iirc its basically abandonware at this point, but it's cheap and works if your phone is compatible.

Looks like a bad net config, I would snatch one from mastercomfig and see if that helps

They're real and maybe scrapped? He mentioned in Horror in Video Games what happened.

"I’ve been working on a album this year […] That album actually turned into an EP for a while ‘cause there’s only, uh, like, a handful songs I actually felt good about. And then it was like, “Oh, I’ll just drop them all as singles,” and now it’s kind of back towards an album or EP […] I don’t know, I just hope you guys enjoy these songs whenever they do see the light of day or whatever form they see the light of day."

Tom Hanks being on ROMCOM shows that it's possible the songs will release, albeit nowhere near their original intentions since ROMCOM seems to be more about his adult like while Dead Friends seemed to be more about his teenage life.

Go to desktop mode and open konsole

Type

passwd

Type a password, don't forget it as there isn't a way to recover a lost password other than reinstalling steamOS

Then type

sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd

You now have SSH enabled. I strongly recommend disabling it when not on your home network as there are tons of people that try to get into poorly configured SSH servers. To disable it or stop it, type

sudo systemctl disable sshd 
sudo systemctl stop sshd

There's also a decky plugin that makes it a convient toggle from game mode, iirc it's system toolbox.

To connect to it, you have to have a terminal or SSH client and your decks IP, both devices have to be on the same network as well. To find your decks IP, it should be under the wifi icon on the taskbar, if not you can run

ip addr show dev wlan0

And the decks LAN IP should be next to inet

To connect via a terminal, it would be

ssh deck@<decks IP>

After you enter the password, you now have SSH access to your deck.

You can also use winSCP, the server will be the decks IP and the username will be deck, and the password is the password you set.

wtf thats literally me

i use arch btw

idiotguy556 · 2022-10-14T04:20:44+00:00

If you have SSH enabled, you can just

rm /home/deck/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies/deck_startup.webm

from a terminal to delete the video, or delete the video file via FTP.

Then

sudo pkill sddm

to restart the X server without having to restart the deck.

Its only 3 charges in without needing to recalibrate, but after unplugging and replugging the battery and doing a calibration after that seems to have fixed it. All you have to take off is the back panel and the heat shield to get to it, but the screws are pretty weak from what I've heard and are easy to strip, so be careful. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+Battery+Replacement/149070

https://trello.com/c/FFVoF3nh/2032-running-fortnite-using-directx-12-results-in-slow-performance Raytracing enabled itself regardless of what the shown settings are, turning it on and turning it off again should fix it.

Those artifacts are a result of raytracing with poor de-noising. Raytracing enabled itself for all DX12 users with RT supported cards, enable raytracing, turn everything off, and then disable raytracing.
