So you have the game saved here: c:\user\myname\downloads\tequila That means there needs to be the Add-ons / Data folder like this: c:\user\myname\downloads\tequila\data The way I make things easy on myself is to simply pick somewhere to extract the files and then drag the data folder into the root/game folder. IE: I would drop the extracted folder into your: c:\user\myname\downloads\tequila Start with the original files and then do the same for the updated files, making sure to okay the overwriting of files/folders.

A bit late in the game (having a hard time getting back to threads I've read), but what I was Trying to get at was something like having you put up say 1-10Gb chunks for people to munch on that would speed up the initial DL and make it easier for those who appear to be using SSDs. Personally, I'm sitting on a good ~6Tb so long as I don't go back to my AV project (been avoiding) in the meantime. I hadn't started anything because I first read this when it was like half a page long. :p

And the clue is that it has something to do with the queue code for that particular screen/page. This, while I wasn't Looking for this sort of thing early on, I'm pretty sure it's related to the queue code somehow.

THIS

I got lost somewhere in there. Is there not a way to specifically tell it what to process and therefor allow You do dictate who takes what chunk?

Code it where the requirement is that the NPC is verified to be in the wall?

The nature of this badge made it the rarest thing in the game. It was Intentionally hard to get and not something just anybody could aim for. More of a luck of the draw thing. Asking for a way to get it would be vaguely like someone who missed a year 2 badge and wondered Why they couldn't earn it in year 5.

Oh come now guys, you missed the obvious choice! Imagine this, you click a power and all of a sudden SB1 zooms in at ludicrous speed, parks near the click point, and transforms into Mega Maid.

Just tested on my Win10 x86 Machine: (Atom 1.33Mhz, 1Gb RAM, Flash storage) Average US server load is roughly 1550, EU ~400 Server->Character List US Servers: ~2-7s / Ranging from 0-40+ alts each EU Server: ~2s / 0 alts Holy difference batman! Besides the basic specs, the only difference is that the character file doesn't include the spacing I've done on my normal machine (some pages have character gaps), but this has been going on longer than I've been organizing the alt list.

You're general troubleshooting and procedures are exemplary, but I'm pretty sure Kat and my machines are both running optimally.

Just tested on my Win7 x64 Machine: (3770k @ 3.5Ghz, 32Gb RAM, Samsung Evo 860 SSD / OS, Apps only) Average US server load is roughly 1550, EU ~400 Server->Character List US Servers: ~60s / Ranging from 0-40+ alts each EU Server: ~17s / 0 alts Game->Character List Torch: ~60s

This, I'm using the Exact same hardware with roughly the same filepaths and ever since (I think) the introduction of the Que system it has taken ages to get onto a new alt. I could probably /afk-Bio and it'd be about as long to load. I'll have to check my Win10 Atom machine to test, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how the que is setup as the message you get when clicking "go back to shard" arrow triggers "do you want to leave the que?" message.

Should've asked someone for an i3 style TP (to the moon!). ;) :p

I don't have the link off-hand but there's a whole thread on setting up Vidiots that includes the Mac setup.

This is what I was going to point out and take one step farther. TBH I wouldn't mess with the playerslot file in terms of permissions because you'd have to unlock it every time you add/remove an alt. You're more likely to cause game issues that way. Yes, you can drag/drop and it's pretty quick. The trick with that is that the game sometimes scrolls too quickly, so it takes practice. Now that we get a billion slots (10 per page) it's possible to sort/group your alts if they're themed in some way. I haven't tried using comments in the file, but since it's based on C/C++ I'd assume that you could comment with group separations like Hero, Vill, etc. As for editing the file, no, you don't have to rearrange the order, but it would make your life so much easier if you're looking to arrange them using it. Since we can copy/paste with ease, then it's just that simple to make a new file, setup the numbering, and just copy/paste the names.

You can leave them as-is save their apparent agro. There's NO reason I should be losing my Fae because she has more agro than me from the mob that I just leaped into and started attacking. For example, yesterday I raced ahead of the Fae so that there was NO chance she would be in range when I launched my attack. Not 2s later she just Barely enters range and they ALL run towards her. Mind you, I'd been pummeling them all this brief period of time by changing my targeting, so I Should have some strong agro going on. But no, they have to go gang-bang her while I sit there and watch. So yeah... STAPH KILLIN' MA FAE!!!!!

Add-ons / Apps / etc

Lately I've been seeing threads along the lines of "If you're experiencing problem X, click here". IDK which subforum they've been in as I've been clicking the "show unread" when I read daily.

Try opening the tequila launcher, choose Options, then click re-validate. Making sure the game is shut down of course.

Holy SPACEBALLS! I'd love to see a video walk through of that. Commentary encouraged. ;)

Now it IS possible to multi-boot different versions of MacOS on the same machine BTW. It'll take more work than I'm ready to re-research, but it's just as simple as using bootcamp and with less troubleshooting (because you're on the same platform). But like has been said, do NOT upgrade beyond Mojave.

It'd be nice, but I'd rather have the HC team's butt-saver code active than risk a remote chance someone would use NOT having it against them.

Is this not what the various red lettered threads are for?

Heh, in an attempt to hit Esc (cancel a power to hit the nearest target) I often end up alt-dying. Something that will help is to go into the Tequila settings and add "-maxinactivefps 5" inside the "Launch Parameters" to reduce the game's FPS to 5 when it's not in the foreground.

There's no conceivable way that the game (or any similar app) is going to cause actual damage to the drive. Fragmentation, sure, but not bad sectors. That's at the physical level and normally handled by the drive itself as it has reserve sectors for that. That SAID, move anything off that drive NOW that you don't want to risk losing. You MIGHT be able to force the drive to reallocate the damaged sectors by doing a low level format (zero it out), but the risk is always there. As mentioned before, a shot of your crystal disk report would be helpful if you wish to have a 2nd opinion on the drive's health. crystaldiskinfo
