Today I finally caught up with all the 1.0-related posts. It didn't do me much good except for discovering a few new users to ignore, and an excellent collection of popcorn-eating GIFs courtesy of @RazzleWin ... In game, I started on Dread in Project Eden. While scouting about I discovered a solitary indestructo-twig. Normally these things are the cause of much cursing, but today it really solved my fibre shortage. Then I found the core on the unfinished escape rocket, and all my other shortages were solved too. So, a good day!
@RazzleWin was definitely on point with those GIFs, and I thought @ChumSickle had some fantastically crafted comedy. I would have given an award to @Kassonnade for his "Forum Gladiator" fights as well. My general rule is to stay out of such things because I would just type out a wall of entirely unproductive curse words and get myself banned. Today in Empyrion, I starting designing a starter CV along the lines of XCal's latest challenge that may or may not get built in time. Unfortunately I did this designing in my head while real life working.
Picked the "Explore Epsilon" quest back up and headed out to finish. Stopped at Epsilon II to look for plant protein, herbal leaves, and meat which we are sorely lacking, having just gotten off Dread Just got this far when the kid starts calling for me He had a BSOD, and coming back, a grid of green and purple lines all over the screen, or just lost of shifting green spots. Spent the next hour verifying my first guess... his 760 has given up the ghost. Dropping in an old 460 so he can at least get online and hoping the LAN driver reload I'm doing fixes the other issue Frakking 2020....
Don't tell me about 2020...fighting since a week a series of BSoD. Each time the search Program tells me another "lie". Until last Sunday the System worked fine and smooth - for its age I mean.
Had a quite productive day exploring PEs Alpha system more. My original plan was to start scouring neighboring systems for Zascosium/Erestrum so i could spawn in my half finished carrier CV but finding that many Legacy POIs i then switched to looting everything i could and mostly getting the stuff i needed from them. After some more factorys, drone bases, mines (they suck), bunker (nice one) and a reactor i happily fled after deactivating the shutdown protocol i was in desperate need for traders to sell my stuff. Finding more Trader faction outpost i am starting to wonder why they´re even called traders. Only real trader i found within their POIs was an unmarked one trading only basic components. My original plan was to sell as much loot to buy the CPU components from Polaris. Until i made the capital mistake of going into a traders outpost having the shotgun selected instead of the empty hand. Now i am at unfriendly with Polaris. Guess i´ll do the 250k money quest next. Though i´m still surprised i didn´t get to low reputation sooner after seeing those monsters in a Polaris trade station in orbit. Now i´m going to wait the 4 hours remaining time for my cv while collecting some more promethium & water.
Yes, But RAM got several times checked and is 100%. Also the Systems keeps up producing Errors if the RAM is not in. The most recent Error report pointed towards Network problems. Most of the Devices don't get support/Drivers from the Companies anymore so I have to find workarounds.
OK, that was going to be my next question... and I get network errors. Looks like the kid's vid card took out the LAN controller on it's way out.. 2 major national PC stores near me, and neither carries LAN cards in stock. Newegg, here I come...
---eng--- I had the same this week after a major Windows update. Windows wanted to save something and after 30 minutes it was still at 0%. After the reset, all I had to do was start a game and it happened again. After the third time, windows started saving something. I waited until it was finished and since then my computer has been running again without any problems. It was definitely strange. ---de--- Das hatte ich diese Woche auch, nach einem größeren Windows-Update. Windows wollte was speichern und stand nach 30 Minuten immer noch bei 0%. Nach dem Reset brauchte ich nur ein Spiel zu starten und es geschah wieder. Nach dem dritten Mal fing windows an was zu speichern. Ich wartete ab, bis er fertig war und seit dem läuft mein Rechner wieder ohne Probleme. Seltsam war es auf jeden Fall.
Actual Updates for Windows are no longer real - I have Win 8.1 - So it wasn't even any update that lead to that sort of "hick-up". But Win 8.1 was, I believe, the first Windows Version in which your Hardware was to be confirmed/Registrated by Windows and Changes could lead to problems. I had almost identical Issues 2 Years ago when I changed the damaged LCD Screen. Took 3 Weeks of running a Repair Program until those "Errors" vanished into thin Air...or maybe Windows just gave up.
After I could listen to a reaction of how difficult it was to find the entry for my old starter cv 'The Traveler' (SP, PvE), I had decided it was time for a new starter CV. All good things are three, so this is the third attempt for a cheap starter CV (MP, PvE), T1 in all meanings and everything for level 10. There is a space reserved for you to choose wether you want to set an offline protection or a gravity generator, shield and warp is already included. I took @XCaliber joke note in one of his streams, a starter CV out of plastic... here we go: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2192437279 But I couldnt resist and made it of steel as well, runs at 93% efficency, but still beats 1.5 G while carrying 500 CS blocks (full load; 40k SU): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2192487291
Today I made a bug report on a POI. It's one I've run into several times now in v1.0, called the Industrial Fuel Depot. (BA_RadosAdvFuelDepotSnow). It has a couple of nifty vents that you can fit a drone in, and one of them leads to the core room where a Zirax Commander is waiting, and threatening to blow the whole base up. There's an LCD on the floor, and it implies that there was an unlock code for the door somewhere, but I could never find it. I figured out a sneaky way to destroy the core without setting off the self-destruct, installed my own core, and then spent the next hour or so figuring out what was wrong and making a bug report. Two of the important door codes were obscured because the LCD screens were too small, or the text too large. Then I sat back and laughed at myself. I had done all that in survival mode on a dedicated server. It would have been MUCH easier to just spawn the base in a local creative game and investigate there.
Playing through "Uncertain Outcomes" today, paying a visit to the space station to meet sectioner 32 I'm glad to meet him.
