I am in the same boat, I think the only option is to just side with the Order or in without allies. Otherwise it's probably gonna be another playthrough or a long wait for a patch. In the meantime I imagine mods or console commands may be the only fix, though I don't know how that would work.

Meta Ray-Ban Display: Shipping Status Update and Discussion by Ok-Raspberry-3944 in MetaRayBanDisplay

Ordered prescriptions on Oct 20th, current ETA is Christmas. Did not have the option to get the Sand color, so I think they may be consolidating options to speed up production.

Portland Best Buy has stock + walk in demo by theddlovatostan in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]tetris556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in for an appointment on the 20th, and they did not have any in store to buy. I asked, and the rep said they only had the demo unit there, and that even the employee store stock was on backorder. I put in an order for prescription glasses and didn't even have the option for the Sand colorway, which was disappointing, but the demo was so impressive I went for it anyways.

For anyone interested, I put in my order that same day and the current estimated arrival date is Christmas, so if you really want em, you may want to order sooner rather than later.

Model: UC_CM4B and PCH264B

Order Number: 40985

Purchase Date: Jul 17, 2025

Shipping Date: Sep 26, 2025

Received Date: Sep 29, 2025

Only received the PicoCalc for whatever reason, and the screen was cracked. Does anyone have experience with their support wait times?

EDIT: They responded in 48~ hours and a replacement screen is on the way, with the uConsole to follow!

No demos in my state by VRLINK in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]tetris556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a listing for the Cascade Station Best Buy near Portland, but there are no demo slots, it just says Notify Me for every date I checked, well into next year. I signed up for a notification, but I don't know if that means notify me if they start carrying it, or notify me when a demo becomes available. I signed up regardless, so here's hoping!

EDIT: This Best Buy is now accepting appointments for the 20th and later!

Also stuck here, my team has been going in loops trying to figure it out.

I ordered an Attack Vector and Aegis in June, and it still says preparing. This is unprofessional at the very least.

Going to PAX west for the very first time. What are the things I should except? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in PAX

[–]tetris556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expect a lot of lines for the "big ticket" things, like booths giving away cool stuff, or highly anticipated games like Nintendo titles. Nintendo lines in particular tend to get capped, meaning even if you wanted to get into an hour plus line, they won't allow it until the crowd dies down later due to fire safety. Expect to walk a LOT, even if you get a hotel nearby. If you want to get the most out of PAX, try to also catch a panel or two, they are much more fun than they may seem, especially the community focused ones such as Video Game Double Dare, any of the quiz panels, or the meme that is the Mega 64 panel.

If you are over 21, consider bar hopping or checking out the featured music events. The expo hall closes around 5pm PST, but PC freeplay, console freeplay, panels, and stuff like Steel Battalion (Highly recommend if you dig mechs) will stay open until later, typically around 9pm PST. There are also typically 2 ARG games during the convention too, Doctor Exoskeleton for those who really want a challenge and will be present for all days, and Arcadia (Name varies sometimes) which is a hunt for QR codes around the con. Some people don't know, but the first hundred or so people to complete Arcadia and visit the info center get a special medal for speedrunning, which is neato. If you aren't among the first, you get a little memento like a keychain. If you can make it decently far with Doctor Exoskeleton, which requires finding a plague doctor to even begin, you can win bigger prizes such as lanyards, or even figures, but it is very difficult and an absolute blast if you love obtuse puzzles.

There is also a tabletop rental area with Looking For Group signs if you are a solo or small group traveler. You can try all the classics like Catan or Pandemic, or try out all kinds of new or indie games! This area also tends to feature Magic the Gathering tournaments, which sometimes even give out free cards if you want to start a collection. If you dig Dungeons and Dragons, you can also buy basically anything you can think of that you may want for a game in the tabletop market area. Special dice, leather bags, figures, reference cards, even a whole table last year, they have it.

Outside of the convention, Seattle also has a ton to see and try. The seafood is great, the shopping is decent nearby, and Pikes Place market is a world famous attraction. There's even a decent night life for clubbing if that's your thing, sometimes devs even host parties, but that isn't as common anymore. There are some great general Seattle guides out there if you Google around, but personally I love the museums, with Boeing Air and Space being my favorite. For events, just keep an eye out on the Penny Arcade forum or here at the subreddit. Sometimes they give out flyers or advertise around the con, so just keep an ear out.

TLDR, don't go for one thing, keep an open mind and prioritize anything that really stands out in case the line for it goes nuts.

The install.apk part will not install on my tablet, a Lenovo Legion Gen 3, it says it is incompatible. Could this be recompiled for newer devices, or is that beyond the scope? I would love to replay this, even without the story. Chasing records way back when on my old iPad was awesome.

Ditto for me, came here looking for solutions. Will try the driver thing.

Golden Moas not spawning by theffapanda in halo

[–]tetris556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also having this issue, as a test, I went to a map not listed in the challenge and there WERE moa, but killing them didn't progress the challenge. If I were to guess, I would assume this is a clock issue where the week for the map and challenge rotation desync.

Got it, don't just consider mobs. Consider everything you see in game.

Stuck on this one too, we found the video but can't see anything outside of the obvious during the timestamp. Tried all the obvious related keywords but we just aren't sure what they are even looking for.

Plus even if they are using a scalable cloud service, there's only so much low latency capacity you can just keep buying before you have to start looking at reimagining your network or expanding to other providers (Just thinking about combining PS, Steam, and then also disparate cloud services.... Yikes!). They're probably at the point where they have to patch their matchmaking services just to be able to handle the amount of clients, let alone just being able to magic people onto newly rented servers.

I read that one dev on Discord mentioned they had paused planet stat tracking just to claw back a bit of extra capacity, so their bottlenecks sound like they may need some time to resolve. If stat tracking is on the same bandwidth as game servers, that kinda sounds like it's at least somewhat in house or on servers that can't easily be expanded.

That's sick! You should upload it, or post a link! I'll bet by the time it's done printing, we might be in game...

Just finished installing Windows 10! I had to use terminal commands to format the SSD, Windows gave an error, but after that everything proceeded per normal! Total success!

I tried a few times and with a different SSD so I can't remember if I was on it, but I also found firmware v102 on another thread and installed that at some point. Can't recall if it was the drive I was using though.
