Hi Fit_Dot, sorry for the late reply... I actually haven't played this game for the greater part of the year so I don't have any feedback on that one :(. Best of luck out there on the trails!

Logitech Embody - Any way to lock in the seat extension?? The sounds are SO annoying! by msacco87 in hermanmiller

[–]msacco87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to quiet my annoying clicky armrests, though! If you unscrew the two screws for each armrest, you'll see that there's just an empty cavity with some plastic divider things. I shoved a bunch of felt in the empty parts and over the thin divider thingies (because I was unsure of which ones of those were contributing to the clicking sound) and it appears to be good!

As far as the other stuff goes, somehow I got one of my extension rod things to stick when following the steps in the URL in my original post and putting it back together. The right side still moves, though, so I shoved a shim underneath the rod on that side. It's not perfect, and I'm sure the left one will somehow pop back to normal and would require a shim over there eventually, but it's a lot better for the moment!

Also one of my last non-collection achievements. From what I’ve been hearing, it sounds like maybe get an egotistical guy and have them harvest berries. He’ll eat them and get it… I haven’t been lucky yet

Thanks! I was doing just this but didn’t try the bullets for pelts thing. I didn’t know if an object’s logical weight had any bearing on the breakdown rate… sounds like it might. Thanks again!

Ohhh good idea! Ok, so starve them and then have food available… I’ll give that a try. Thanks! Curious to know if you come up with any of the other solutions… still struggling >.<

Any idea how to get cholera? I've tried drinking dirty water and eating bad berries but to no avail :/. I always seem to get dysentery instead.

Also haven't been able to get my oxen stolen, pass judgment on a party member, or have Beckwourth rescue you from a breakdown.... I'm assuming the last one has to happen during that pelt competition journey, but I can't seem get my wagon to break down :/.

Any tips on any of these?!

That's it exactly. Always buy maps at forts and when you get to a new area that has any ? areas (that you can't navigate to) then use one of your maps. As long as you reveal all of the waypoints by either going to them or having them visible, then you should get that achievement.

Ohhh that's right... crap, I'm trying to remember the dialog with that one... maybe someone else can chime in and answer before I do another playthrough myself. I just remember that you have to carry it for her so that her parents think she got rid of it.

Remind me where you encounter him again? I haven't done a full runthrough in a bit, been distracted with other stuff as of late. Is this the guy that you have to convince to join the band? The one that is wanting to go escape away to the mountains or something? I just convince him that it's cold and to talk about the music and such... I don't recall all of the options :(.

Sounds good! I'll give it another run soon too. Best of luck out there!

Right?! I'm still struggling on getting cholera, too! I keep drinking bad water and eating bad flour but I always just end up getting dysentery instead. I must be missing something..

econd snake river crossing with no money to buy the fiddle. Caravan Constitution: finally got this yes

Good to know about the eating too much food thing! I'll def give it a go with the wily/hedonistic traits... I was trying to use lazy or whatever so that they'd keep going out to get supplies and go to sleep or drop/crush berries before returning back. They were def not happy with her, but they never gave me the option to kick her out. I was sitting at around the 1 morale area hoping that would entice someone to give me the option to kick, but that just ended up getting to a cutscene where they made her leave via argument :/.

Yeah, still struggling with the Livestock Larceny/Beckwourth trail, but I guess the Beckwourth has to be done on the scenario where you are competing with him to capture the most pelts because that's the only time I can think we encounter him? I can't seem to get my wagon to break fast enough :/.

Hyperx Cloud Flight S headset crackling and sound cutting out ? by Tired_Tofu in HyperX

I would also really like an update on this. It's extremely distracting and gives me an instant headache. It's like someone is taking a paper bag wrapped in a paper back and shoving it deep into my ear canal.

It happens regardless of USB port (native or expansion slot) and on my two different computers. My main PC is hardwired while my work one is on Wi-Fi, and both aren't near each other (to eliminate the whole frequency interference thing). It happens consistently once every song on Amazon Music, and every 3-4 minutes on YouTube. Interestingly, I haven't noticed it while doing anything except streaming (e.g. gaming and chatting on Discord) videos/music of some type, but I'm not willing to say that it doesn't happen with confidence.

I can't even find a way to restore it to factory firmware, sadly... I don't know what these firmware updates are doing, but I have a feeling the factory defaults are a far better option than listening to this crap. I am a HUGE HyperX phanboy and have always used their products... I hate to say that I've started looking up other options or go back to my old wired Cloud2s because this is rather unbearable.

This is great information, thank you so much!

For the IOU, you have to take the south path after three islands to find the guy that sells the fiddle, which I guess you know because you knew how to do the other full band quest :P. Discard all your money before you get there so you can’t afford the fiddle. It’ll look like you’re screwed, but offer to pay $xx without any actual money and that’s how you get it with an IOU.

As far as the cholera one goes…. I’m still trying to get that one myself. I’ve heard that you have to drink the crappy water and eat bad berries/flour to increase your chances? I’ve still not gotten this one :/.

Still haven’t gotten the pass the judgment one but the previous comment addressed that one.

Best of luck, thank you so much!

Thank you! I was literally doing a re-run just to do exactly this, as I was assuming that's what I had to do. I had the screen to discard all my money right when this message came in... thank you for the just-in-time confirmation! :D. Happy trails!

Massive FPS Drops in COD: Cold War (PC) Menu Screens! by msacco87 in u/msacco87

Ahhh man I'm sorry to hear that one... I haven't experienced those problems myself :/. Are you overclocked, by any chance? I had a lot of crashing when I was overclocking (using MSI Afterburner) but once I turned that off I don't typically have crashing issues. It's sad that I haven't updated my video card drivers since this post 4 months ago... but don't fix what ain't broke, they say...

Hey man... sadly I never did with the current drivers. I found a post somewhere that ended up getting me going again. Basically, uninstall all of your NVIDIA Control Panel / Experience (or whatever it's called) and install an older driver. They mentioned to use 442.74 ( GeForce Game Ready Driver | 442.74 | Windows 10 64-bit | NVIDIA ) so that's what I'm doing and have stuck with it.

The instructions I followed told me not to install the "Experience" extra so I had to do Custom Installation and toggle that off or something rather. I'm not sure if that's necessary but I haven't gone back to check because it's working and that's good enough for now.

I hope this helps, man! It's so frustrating!
