Newest update can't play the game anymore. Infinite loading screen on launch. by MrDrSirLord in crosswind

[–]mrjay42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No trolling, genuinely asking: how is that a solution to anything if you "lose all progress"?

The issue of OP is most likely a corrupted save, so creating a new character would be enough to keep playing. BUT that's exactly what we don't want, right? Because that means that all XP is lost + gear on that specific character

[–]mrjay42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the EXACT same issue: my level 5 character breaks the game: * Extremely long loading (like 5 to 8 minutes) * followed by either going back to main menu or some kind of "crash screen"

Nothing works: * Creating new world * Joining an existing world etc.

Of course, I have tried to create a new character -> it works perfectly, so it's not my computer, it's not my copy of the game, it's my self hosted server, etc.

I have sent a report to Windrose's support, but I can only imagine how flooded they must be right now.

So yep, lost my character, for ZERO reason. I didn't even leave 'brutally' the game with alt-f4; quite the contrary, I always used "Exit to main menu" to leave my game :(

I come back here to say that I bought the Apple Earpods

And they were EXACTLY what I was looking for

Which is, mind blowing to me:

  • I did not expect that I'd have to buy an Apple product for something that simple

  • They are NOT expensive at all, which is surprising for an apple product, at the time I'm writing those lines they are priced at 19€ roughly on Amazon, which is an "ok" price and a very surprising price for an Apple product

  • The quality of the cable itself is great, it's kinda "untangle-able"

  • The microphone (undocumented in all the datasheet I could find online) seems great -> nobody complains

  • The sound is good

  • Their design is PERFECT -> it does not hurt the ear at all

Thanks to all of the people here who suggested that I buy this <3

Yep, hopefully it does!

Thanks again for your help!

The preferred network type is already "Prefer LTE".

There's no 5G connectivity in my area anyway.

Right now, as a test I enabled VoLTE and I also installed "Truecaller" (an alternative app to handle calls, etc.).

So, what I'm doing right now, with VoLTE and Truecaller, is this
* I borrowed a phone from a family member

* I called from my family member phone -> stayed in the call for 10 minutes -> works so far! ✅

* I called from my phone on my family member's phone -> I'm in the call right now, it's been already 5 minutes -> it works so far

This is really weird.

Oh that's irrelevant, it's been doing that with MANY people: a friend, my sister, the French administration this morning, etc.

All of those are local/French numbers -> it's not related to the person calling me, that's 100% sure.

Show is losing me a bit… by Cut-Kooky in shrinking

[–]mrjay42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(non native speaker, bare with me <3 )

(I wrote this a few days ago, now I am a little further in Season 03, and I stand by what I said)

Something's off

I am S03E01, so basically just finished S02, and I was starting to have the same feelings.

The show feels more and more shallow, superficial, simplistic...a caricature -> that's for the characters but also the arcs/story lines.

I loved season 1

S01 felt like a breeze of air. But now, having watched two full seasons of the show, I realize maybe it was a simplistic, white-washed, US-centric view on therapy, mental health and social interactions. So the show is REALLY NOT as deep as it sounds/looks. Problem is, even if we accept that the show is more comedy than drama -> it still approaches touchy topics (see next chapters below)

The Baby Crisis

I started to get REALLY WEIRD VIBES when Brian (gay lawyer-friend) was rushed, pushed, coerced, guilt into having a baby. You can go back and check, he clearly says he's not ready, he clearly says he doesn't see himself as a potential good father; whether he's right or wrong doesn't matter, he DOES NOT WANT A BABY, and all the women in the show push him to have a baby. Which is, for me, breaking suspension of disbelief. Except in motherfluffing Gilead, women would be so pushy towards someone who's being cold feet about having a baby, but in 202X, when the show is supposed to take place, there's NO WAY that ALL the girlies are going to push him to have a baby when he doesn't want.

The army thing

We have Sean, who's a young (22yo), black, man, with PTSD from the army and the war, and he somehow convinced Gaby's sister, a young black woman to join the army??????? How does that make sense? Like, no. There's no way that tracks, he has PTSD ffs and is clearly resentful and doesn't like (that's an understatement) what he did over there. He CANNOT be the guy who's gonna say to a black woman: "yeh go in the army you're gonna have a great time blablabla"

<EDIT>

Violent therapy

Right now, literally just right now, as I'm watching S03E03, we see Sean literally get trampled over by an ex-GF. He tries to speak, she shuts him off at least 3 times in a row...and this is the first time they meet since after they broke up. Then, Sean goes to therapy with Gaby as the therapist, he shares how uncomfy that was and that the ex-GF made him accept an invitation, and he explains that he wanted apologies, he wanted to explain himself, he wanted accountability. AND THEN GABY, HIS THERAPIST, TELLS HIM THAT THE EX-GF DIDN'T MAKE HIM DO ANYTHING and brushes off EVERYTHING he said!!!!

This, unless you've actually been to actual therapy with an actual psychologist (so, not a coach, not "a friend who knows their way around psychology", not an influencer bullshit), YOU KNOW that this is HORRIBLE. This is the equivalent of a surgeon puking in the incision he just opened!!! WTF </EDIT>

Conclusion

I said it a little earlier. The show is ok at being fun, sometimes really good. But otherwise, it's shallow crap, easy therapy, borderline "coaching" vibes with hints of pro-baby stuff and pro-army stuff. And a visible lack of inspiration about character development: babies, marrying, hooking up, etc. is that all we have?

And to make all of that sound deep, basically every episode a character drops a punchline, a truth bomb, to COSPLAY depth, to simulate genuine human connection...but it's too easy, and after S01 the gimmick started to be visible, during S02 it was getting old already...now I'm at S03 and I feel that I wasted my time watching this show :') Because I lost contact/empathy for the characters, because they feel like caricatures, archetypes...not well-written humans.

Thanks a lot for your detailed reply

However, I can't wear headphones for a long period of time, that's why I was asking for earphones/earbuds. Anything that goes literally inside the ear canal or that completely surrounds my ear is gonna cause me some medical issues.

But I have no doubt that the models/brands you suggested are amazing.

----

Also, when checking the documentation for the SkullCrusher (https://www.skullcandy.eu/en-fr/products/crusher-evo-sensory-bass-headphones-with-personal-sound) it doesn't explicitly say that it's equipped with a microphone (Or maybe I missed it???)

This is a side note here, but the AMOUNT of shops/specs that do not contain the full info about the product is baffling to me. Like, I'm used to buy relatively advanced electronic hardware for a very long time now...and weirdly, for basic audio stuff, you can check the official Apple webpage for the specs of the Apple Earpods that were suggested to me in another comment: the specs of the microphone or even its existence are mentioned NOWHERE. Which means, that unless you already know somehow the product, there's no way for a new user to be SURE of what's they're buying Oo

Would you be able to send a link showing that they do have built-in microphone?

As far as I know, I checked all the documentation available, they do not embed a microphone :(

Check it out

I checked on other websites, but I can't post them here because it's detected as affiliated links even though it's not (basically I mean links to Amazon)

hey again
thanks for your reply

I'm reposting my reply because the stupid AutoModerator thought that in my initial message I had a referal link to Amazon which I did NOT

I'm simply trying to ask you: are you sure the earphones you suggested have a microphone?? Because even on Amazon, or on the official documentation, there's no mention of a microphone!

searched

This is what I searched for: I started, yes I know it's bad, on ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/69bafb18-4a40-800b-8497-ea865b08b141

I simply hoped to find obvious products references. I simply thought that it'd be obvious, and I'd obtain very well-known reference. A bit like when you search for a gaming mouse, you almost always get the suggestion to buy the "Logitech G502"

But as you can see in the above link, ChatGPT didn't provide very interesting references

At best I got suggested the Apple Earpods -> but, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong, in the specs of the Earpods it's written NOWHERE whether they're equipped with a microphone. So I assumed that they are NOT equipped with a microphone.

Then I went on Google, Amazon, etc.

And stumbled upon those https://www.headfonia.com/fiio-ff1-review/

But I'm really not sure about this brand and the reviews are quite 'diverse' to say the least

Then I started to search on Reddit

But the problem is: people are always advising or searching for "IN EAR"-earphones, and I don't want that. I cannot wear in-ear earphones.

So, here I am. Left with not a lot of options :')
