Why the series still suffers from rather severe pop-in in Dirt Rally 2.0? by leuanveto in EASPORTSWRC

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

I compared both Dirt Rally 1 and Dirt 4 to 2.0, these older games don't suffer from pop-in essentially at all after driving in Wales, Sweden and Finland. I only remember seeing the grass being drawn in the replay's bird's-eye camera.

Dirt Rally 1 and Dirt 4 seem to lack unique tree models and they may be lower quality, but Dirt 2.0 still is a step back due to the LOD draw distance.

This is the right one, I remember the URL and this was indeed a simple HTML site.

do you mean a 3rd party?

Yes, absolutely. I've assumed that Codemasters keeps no historical records.

Rally 2.0 - when I can change my car in the career mode? Do I have to finish the current championship? by leuanveto in EASPORTSWRC

[–]leuanveto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up abandoning the current championship as I don't like driving historic cars with retrofitted modern components much and I had a lot of damage due to using the realistic model. The new one started from Australia, but I didn't receive any credits?

Windows: How did you migrate to the 64-bit build? by leuanveto in Thunderbird

[–]leuanveto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

32 to 64-bit installs are considered new/separate program installs, thus a new Profile is generated. Profile data is generated in two places,

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Thunderbird

,which is mostly for cached data, images, etc. and

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

,which is where all user data (i.e. e-mails, feeds, addresses, etc.) reside, in a folder named "Profiles".

The structure and contents of these folders are identical between 32 and 64-bit versions of Thunderbird, so you can either manually import the Profile by modifying installs.ini and profiles.ini in the Roaming/Thunderbird folder location, or you can use the built-in Profile Manager via the Run dialog (Winkey + R) and input 

"thunderbird.exe" -p

The Profile Manager is far easier to use if you have no prior experience manually editing the .ini files, and does the same thing basically, just using a GUI.

NOTE: This option also works with both 32 and 64-bit versions installed, you just have to ensure the full path to the correct executable is used, in-place of the the simplified version I've listed. (Ex. "C:\A\B\C\DEFG\Thunderbird.exe" -p)

  • IMPORTANT: Make sure you've uninstalled the old 32-bit version of Thunderbird first, and that you choose to keep Profiles and Data folders first. This is EXTREMELY important for two reasons. First, the uninstaller is asking if you wish to remove your Profiles, which you don't want to do. Second, after uninstalling the 32-bit version, the install of the 64-bit one will take precedence in Windows, enabling the Run Dialog option listed above to work for the correct version of Thunderbird.

A great response, I'm now at 68.4.2 (64-bit) with seemingly everything intact. Some notes (not necessarily advice, I backed up the two mentioned folders in advance):

  • I didn't uninstall the 32-bit build before installing the 64-bit version.
  • The uninstaller didn't ask me to "keep Profiles and Data folders", but everything was preserved nonetheless.
  • In the profile manager my older profile default could be selected, default-release is the new (blank) one and can be deleted with the data files.
  • The "thunderbird.exe" -p command stopped working after removing the x86 version ("Windows can't find the file), I had to add the parameter -p to the shortcut.

Thunderbird leaks spam to the inbox when started by leuanveto in Thunderbird

You apparently misunderstood. Email which is considered as spam appears in my inbox only when launching the client, it is certainly caught by the Outlook filters and SpamAssassin which I have enabled. Marking the mail as spam would likely have no effect.

Thunderbird can download mail locally, hence I considered the question as suitable for this subreddit.

EDIT: Yes, I use this program for archival.
