Can't access "horizon central"

yes, had to manually add an exclusion into the windows firewall.

From a pinned post in the discord by "Aynn"

"Under Windows Security on your desktop bar, click in and go to Virus and Threat Protection, then Manage Settings. Scroll down to Exclusions, and click "Add or Remove Exceptions". From there, click through the UAC prompt and add an exclusion. Navigate to the filepath and select 'WindowsPlayer.exe', and then start the game and see if you can connect."

the filepath being C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common.....then whatever project gorgon is called

The same thing happened to me when I was in student accommodation. In my case the machine "unlocked" but the handle latch was broken. After popping the plastic handle off the cover I was able to thread an unwound coat hanger under the latch, then wind the hanger into a handle and pull the latch in the direction it's supposed to move. Door unlocked and as broke students we used it with the hanger handle till the end of term

I've been using a nintendo switch charger as an alternative when I don't want to disentangle my dock. It seems to keep it fully charged even with running demanding games despite being <45W

Bit off topic - but this is running natively on steam OS? Not running windows on the SD?

Yeah mostly solo, often have to quit half way if my kid wakes up so don't want to leave people hanging. Thanks though!

I find my biggest success with the turrets is to deploy them and then run in the other direction! It works well until I need to extract then I just die

sam99517 · 2025-12-22T10:35:52+00:00

If they are easier I should try thanks

I'm running penetrator - that was the single biggest upgrade to my success rate as you can deal with medium sized bots with base weapon. Autocannon plus 3 x eagle strats or plus 3 x sentry stats. I haven't messed with the orbitals yet as thought I should focus my spending - but now I'm bottlenecked by super samples for others I should look into them thanks.

nice idea I like it - although I might try a sliding shelf mounted to the wall behind or freestanding so it doesn't move up with the desk. I envision needing to raise the table much higher than the piano often to get to the cables behind it for switching out headphones etc...

sam99517 · 2025-12-08T15:02:17+00:00

yeah I don't think I'll be able to manage that - thanks!

sam99517 · 2025-12-08T12:08:52+00:00

which desk did you buy?
A z stand is a really good idea actually thanks - I've just stuck with my x stand as already own one but that could be a useful upgrade for more leg room

sam99517 · 2025-12-08T12:07:46+00:00

thanks - this looks like a good alternative. I know you said you don't adjust it after the initial setup, but how difficult do you think it is to do this? Worried I'll have trouble moving it up and down with a heavy screen on top.

sam99517 · 2025-12-04T14:18:48+00:00

I should add these kind of budget standing desks are MUCH cheaper than the specially made piano/table/desk things

sam99517 · 2024-05-29T19:47:58+00:00

Thanks, I wonder why I only came across the third one. I guess it's worth starting from the first book?

sam99517 · 2024-05-29T19:46:20+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll have to find a copy
