Not being 'in the know', I imagine it coming down a combination of demand on the existing servers pushing for more load capacity and the hope that the 'rogue server' status gets legally converted to 'official' as a result of "the talks". Both also dependent on costs of course in the end, but with the way I've read the donations going, that wouldn't seem to be too big of an issue if it's not a large jump. I haven't a clue how their servers are handled, so that's way out of my knowledgebase.

So apparently they fixed it sometime today in the latest patch so everything's good to go

(Yeah, I know they aren't hamsters, not My meme :p)

And right after I post this they release a patch that breaks the game. I'd suggest that no one attempt to play until the next patch just in case doing so will bork the save files.

The newer versions of the Island Rum were supposed to take those into consideration, but I left them in for reference. BTW, I think Monterey 12.4 is out as well, so you probably have a system update (that shouldn't relate to the issue). I'm surprised no one else has chimed in yet on this, but based on your description, it sounds like you're getting the message shown in Step 1. If that's the case, then make sure to follow those step to proceed. *pokes @Manga*

Try the links in my signature below and we'll go from there. It would be good to know if you're running the M1 for sure.

If you haven't played this or the mini-game that was rereleased this past year, then you really should. With all the OOC interactions, it makes it feel like you're sitting at a table (almost). Obvious Borderlands based content, but even I've gotten past the cell-shading aspect. Personally, I'm about 75% through the full content and I think I'm on the last general area of the game. I spent a few days on collectable cleanup, but that's what the internet is for!

This would hint at the game settings then as this is where the stuff you find in the GFX JSON was at IIRC. To make the game portable, the JSONs were used is how I 'think' it works vs installing registry entries.

Make sure to do it per character (assuming different for things like MM) and move those files right away for archiving because the next character will overwrite that. DON'T load binds until you've got everything saved first or they go poof with what's in the location.

I don't recall there being an option for your Own pets beyond just closing the pet window. While your own powersets may be directional, the pet's powersets (upgrades) are generally targets.

Looks like it *pokes* @The Philotic Knight

Mine has a nice, optional set of buttons on the case to manage the lights, but yeah, most the time they're out of sight, out of mind TBH. Then again, I could probably fit a 4U server inside my case if I were to gut it. 😛

Yeah, I never got into them when they were Solo and it only spiraled downhill after the merger. Agree with all of the above an hear that Dell itself is using custom internals now too. Sounds like many of them want to do that so that you Have to buy the upgrades/parts from them directly (overpriced) or just decide to buy a new machine (from them). Same things kept me from Apple for the longest time until I had specific use cases that made that a need/want. The irony of their laptops though is that they often became desktops due to their power needs. Some models even needed TWO power bricks because some idiot thought it a good idea to put a full desktop GPU in a laptop. Designs now a days are more marketing than anything else. "We have this cool looking shell. Here are some buzz words on the internet. What kinda crap should we fill it with?". Oh and don't get me started on the butt-ugly desktop cases...

Same...

Check for driver updates for your GPU. The other games may also be using different tech to run than what the older games do (OpenGL?).

The second I saw people installing Windows, then I knew stuff like this would happen. The question now comes down to drivers and support as this is still custom hardware.

Hmm, that Would be quite the difference. IDK, except for work, I've only ever used one screen, so my exposure is limited.

There's a Really old generic mouse trick that you can activate that pulses circles around the cursor at the press of a key. It's in the basic windows mouse control panel.

Moved back to Subnautica and WAY too much base crafting for what you 'need'. I did play a bit of Tiny Tina and that's going to be awesome. I played some of the new Lego SW and that's going to be a very long game with hopefully not so many of the bugs of old.

Not much to add beyond what's been said above besides maybe having the system looked at from a hardware standpoint, but even that may not reveal itself until later in time. If we're focused on the power strike, then just be aware that it's normally the weakest component that likely feels the effects. I don't normally promote stuff in full, but this scenario is exactly why I have one of these in every room of the house and it's saved me tons of $$ (even though the batteries eventually need replaced). The reason I chose this one was high capacity vs price And it uses a clean power tech that allows it to be safely used on even medical equipment. They have cheaper ones, but I like to max my options out. IDK how many hurricanes this has helped with as I can use it to recharge phones or power a USB light off of. Aside from that, I suppose you could go with the assumption that the software (OS/drivers) got borked with the solution of doing a clean reinstall, but I'd save that for last. If you don't already, then I'd use the -maxinactivefps flag and set it to like 5 (FPS) so that when the game isn't in focus (you toggle to the other screen), then it dials down the stress on the GPU for that period of time.

Then it's probably because it was a good show that I got interested in (and they didn't already make a few episodes/seasons in advanced). So on that note: My Bad! Hence why I normally watch things after they've had a chance now a days.

Considering I never actually clicked the link, this makes more sense now. 😛

I'm guessing maintenance of the site, but I can stab...erm poke @The Philotic Knight in a bit

IDK the behind the scenes on the OS, but from what I've seen, this is pretty consistent for multiple apps I've used.
