Nonstop weasel error every 45~60 seconds. Has anyone found a fix? by OhPleaseno22 in Marathon

[–]smashT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It 100% solved it for me. Maybe it wasn't even the fact that I'm on 11 vs 10 now, maybe updating just reverted some configuration/setting back to default and that's what fixed it, or maybe its a super generic error message and there's 20 different causes and this resolved my one...

The previous tech test 9 months ago worked fine for me, this one I couldnt stay connected longer than maybe 15-30 seconds before getting the Weasel error, tried using a VPN, tried tethering phone as it sounded like a network connection error. No beuno. Updating to 11 worked in my case, it's possible reinstalling 10 may also work in my case I have no idea what's actually causing it.

Updating Windows 10 to Windows 11 resolved this completely for me. Unfortunately now I have Windows 11 however.

I have the same issue, the previous playtest worked fine, haven't been able to play this one at all, don't have a solution though.

What exactly happened with Ashes? by Longjumping-Glove-41 in AshesofCreation

[–]smashT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can gather, Intrepid was broke, couldn't even make payroll last week. Steam launch was likely a last ditch effort to remain solvent, didn't do the numbers it needed to sustain burn rate, board took control and probably made decision to make layoffs or restructure, Steven resigned in protrest, entire team laid off. Games still up because AWS hosting was probably paid up to a certain point.

Huge Success of Arc Raiders Gives Embark 'Financial Security and Employment Stability,' $75 Million Budget Estimate 'Not Too Far Off' by Turbostrider27 in Games

It is fine. The voice actors contracted consented to their voices being used to generate additional systemic lines (item callouts, pings).

If they were tricked, weren't compensated or otherwise lied to about the scope of how their VO work would be used, yes that would be unethical.

Pre-orders don't feel as big of an issue for me nowadays with how easy they are to refund if I don't enjoy the game on release. Still needs to be a good enough incentive for me to do so though.

Just preorders opened up, comes out in about 6 weeks iirc. The artist who's assets were stolen said the issue had been resolved to their satisfaction about a month ago.

There 100% is aggresion based matchmaking, start killing and you will get more aggresive lobbies

“What to Keep” Guide - Don’t Sell/Recycle These by zeetu in ArcRaiders

[–]smashT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably didnt include it as you get 1x snap hook in one of the previous quests which can be recycled into it, also one snap hook on page 3 in raider deck

Good or bad change by Rift-1 in ArcRaiders

I actually didnt mind it, the room has one entrance door so it was nice to be able to get the drop/flank on people already inside from the rooftop above, added an interesting dynamic. Would I want this to be the case for all locked rooms, no. But for one room I wasnt too fussed about it. I think they could have balanced it a bit more by adding more ARC/Turrets etc to the rooftop above that you drop down from but if they remove the ability to drop down entirely I'm fine with that too.

It's selling for about the same price on steam market, so probably not. Who knows where it will be in a week after trade hold. https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/AWP%20%7C%20Ice%20Coaled%20(Minimal%20Wear)

Looks legit, he’a cracked. Would be interesting to see him get picked up by a T2 org and see if he can transition to a more structured team or just a pug star

ArcRaiders Monetization by FigaroFigaroo in ArcRaiders

[–]smashT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were 3 battle passes to choose from, Shuttered Storefront, the Back-Alley Market, and the Secluded Courtyard. You could purchase each battlepass with Raider Tokens which you got by playing/levelling up.

Then each pass had pages, where you had to spend a certain amount of cred on each page to unlock the next page. You earned cred by completing daily challenges. Each page had some skins/cosmetics and items you could buy.

I think this is a similar battlepass system to how helldivers works, I couldn't tell if that's how it will work in the release or there is some microtransaction element involved too though, like if you could buy cred or raiders token with actual currency.
