Q: What changes to my network settings in Windows 7 can I make to achieve lower latency for gaming?

MuhdWhat changes to my network settings in Windows 7 can I make to achieve lower latency for gaming? I have heard of changing TCP settings in the registry, but I have also heard conflicting information on whether it actually works in Windows 7 or only Windows XP, and I'm not sure what registry values...

Q: Coin regeneration help!

Njellt17I'm playing coin dozer. I'm on level 110. I have 360 something coins. And my regeneration level is 90, but my coins won't stop regenerating. How do I stop this!?

 
Hey uhm. I'm playing Assassin's Creed 4 on my computer right now. It's playing fine and all, but my EYES are having a problem. They hurt. They can't focus; something like that; I don't know. I don't really understand where it comes from It's like there's too much detail or too much stuff moving that they're trying to focus on everything, and it's not working. And it hurts a bit.
I don't think I've had this problem with other games before. Does anyone have an idea of the cause, or a solution?
 
IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT
 
@Ariane My suggestion would be to see an eye doctor.
 
which means I'm sitting at home in front of the computer. Yaaaay
 
@tugs That’s why you don’t put your company name in your twitter handle
 
12:22 AM
@Wipqozn ^^' I don't think it's a health problem. It feels like it's something about objects in the distance not being blurred , but I don't really know, because focusing on close objects also makes my eyes struggle.

Q: Where are there cars with passengers in them?

MargaretOne of the challenges that I'm still sitting at zero for is "Hostages taken" - since every car I see only has a driver and no passengers. Are there any areas where people are more likely to be car pooling?

 
@Ariane You may also see if you can turn down the mouse sensitivity.
 
@RavenDreamer Even moving my mouse really slowly has the same effect. :/
 
@Ariane Then, yeah, I'd talk to an eye doctor. :|
 
I NEED TO PACK
 
12:27 AM
Sheesh, this game's quality isn't anything incredibly new. Dark Souls, Skyrim, AC3, no issue. :/
 
AND WRAP PRESENTS
and do laundry
Bridge, shame me into doing these things
 
@spugsley I need to pack too. ANd drive to Salisbury. THink I'm doing that?
NO
 
Oh, I think I might have found out what the problem is. The camera is too damned close to the character. Not much you can do about that though eh.
 
@OrigamiRobot NOT HELPINGGGGGGGGG
DOING LAUNDRY
 
@Ariane I remember reading an article about some game setting being really tough on the eyes, but I can't remember which one it was talking about in particular.
 
12:35 AM
@Yuki Interesting.
 
Oh, snap. 10x the same champion games in LoL.
 
But yeah I think it really is the camera's zoom level. That or the location of the HUD objects. Because cinematics are 100% fine.
 
@spugsley Hey, that's my excuse!
Get your own!
 
@Ariane I think it might been a mismatch on the width of vision?
Something about the computer rendering being wider than the normal human width of vision and the mismatch being confusing or something like that.
 
12:39 AM
Mmmmmmmmh... Maybe? Can't say.
 
@OrigamiRobot My code is compiling!
 
12:57 AM
@Yuki FoV? If AC4 was developed primarily for consoles it may have a narrower FoV because it was designed to be played from the couch, whereas one typically sits much closer to a monitor.
 
...Apparently Farm Simulator was so popular, there's now a copycat.
 
@fbueckert What's it called?
 
@Justin Professional Farmer 2014
 
HI
I did laundry
 
@spugsley Exciting stuff!
 
1:09 AM
@PrivatePansy you should be proud! I only procrastinated for 4 hours!
 
Wow, that's a lot less than my average laundry procrastination time!
I think mine is measured in days
 
mine is usually but I'm traveling....tomorrow
 
It takes me less than four hours, total, to DO laundry.
 
@fbueckert Oh, of course it takes far less than 4 hours to do laundry, but it's the procrastination before doing it that's important
 
@fbueckert If procrastination were relative to the amount of effort required to actually do stuff, things would be a lot better.
@fbueckert also, how's Bella?
 
1:11 AM
@PrivatePansy I don't see how; it's not even that hard.
 
I just spammed my way to ~2500 science. It was awesome!
 
@RavenDreamer Bela. Routinely spiking my leg.
I have so many pockmarks, it's not even funny.
 
@fbueckert Well, it's mainly the 'take cloths out of washing machine and hanging them' part that's annoying
 
@fbueckert I am now picturing your leg as a volleyball.
 
I need to clip her nails.
Which will be tomorrow's project, I think.
 
1:12 AM
Mainly because mine doesn't seem to have any sort of bell that sounds when it's done, so you just have to wait for the spin cycle noise to end
 
What is with you people and clipping cats' nails?
 
@OrigamiRobot I like my appendage to be relatively wound-free.
 
Also, I survived 24 hours outfield with only an average of 14 mosquito bites per hand
 
Silly humans.
 
First KSP badge is mine! (Whenever the script decides to run.)
 
1:15 AM
Seems to me clipping a cat's nails would only encourage them to scratch more.
 
@OrigamiRobot Scratching post?
 
@PrivatePansy That's what I mean.

Q: Reave Support Gem with Carcass Jack

kjy112I have a Carcass Jack. Do you guys think the minus radius effect of conc effect plus increase area effect of carcass jack is good enough for Reave (10% penalty). Or is it better to just use Melee Physical?

 
So they'd just get sharp again.
 
@MBraedley Nice! :D
 
1:17 AM
@fbueckert if all else fails...
 
@Powerlord It was fun playing MvM on your server. Will play again later.
 
Although, just to be sure, someone should upvote one of my answers
@JourneymanGeek They can still scratch from that position
 
@MBraedley Yes, and instead of your legs it'll be your face they'd be scratching D:
 
just wear a hocky mask
of course, your dog/cat might think you're Jason from friday the 13th....
 
@MBraedley Good job.
I keep meaning to get back into that.
I never played it that much. only 10 hours I think.
It's a lot of fun thoguh.

2:04 AM
Hey, has anyone here played Assassin's Creed 4?
 
Not I, sorry
 
There's this little high-pitched sound, uhm, something that would be appropriate for a mild warning or "item selected" for a menu. In this mission I keep hearing it randomly. But no enemy has detected me, and I don't understand what it means.
Also, if someone could tell me how I can assassinate two enemies standing to each other at once, it would be nice.
 
@Ariane Ask on the main site.
 
@Wipqozn Mmmmmh... Lazy. Okay, I will if I don't figure it out soon.
 
¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A.? is America's first bilingual situation comedy, and the first sitcom to be produced for PBS. It was produced and taped in front of a live studio audience at PBS member station WPBT in Miami, Florida and aired on PBS member stations nationwide. The program explored the trials and tribulations faced by the Peñas, a Cuban-American family living in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, as they struggled to cope with a new country and a new language. The series was praised as being very true-to-life and accurately, if humorously, portraying the life and culture of Miami's Cuban...
I didn't know that this was a thing.
 
2:18 AM
@Ariane Probably need to unlock that first, it's different in just about every AC game.
 
I don't speak Spanish, so I'm probably not the target demographic
 
@MBraedley You're also Canadian, so there's that too.
 
Canadians are better than other people, I agree.
 
But it's an extremely interesting cultural artifact.
 
@FEichinger It couldn't be that I need to do something special? I just need to wait for it to be unlocked?
 
@RedRiderX most cable providers include a PBS channel in the base package
 
@MBraedley True.
But doesn't PBS programming vary a little between regions?
 
@Ariane It could be an item you need, or a mission to complete. I haven't played AC4, so I don't know how it's there, but every other AC game had double assassinations unlocked differently.
 
Also this was 1977 – 1980.
 
@FEichinger I played the third one, but I didn't remember there was an unlocking thing. Thanks. So I guess I'll just leave those two guys alone for now.
 
2:22 AM
@RedRiderX probably. It's hard to tell if the New England stations (which is what we got here in NS) would carry such a show.

I'm still looking for a giant hat in Pokemon Y
 
@PrivatePansy There aren't all that many hat choices
I don't think I'd call any of them giant
 
Yeah, it's unfortunate
 
Today I have spent over £500 on car things
 
Maybe the game will get an update, because the clothing choice is surprisingly limited given how many shops there are, all selling the exact same items just in different colors
 
3:39 PM
Each chop carries mostly the same set of items but in different colors, each new store has a new selection though, so you probably haven't seeni t all yet though
I've heard the male selection is pretty lame thoguh
 
Playing a female character. From what I can see on the PSS the headdress is about the same for both genders
You're also allowed to select the avatars of gym leaders to use on the PSS instead for some reason
Not sure why in that case they couldn't just offer a wider selection of hats
 
Oh yeah for women the hats are pretty limited unfortunately. The felt hats and baseball cap things are the only ones I like
like half of the selection is just multicolored fedoras
men get a pancham hat too, women get a surprisingly nasty slurpuff dress
 
@BenBrocka Ah yes, I was wondering where that panda hat come from
 
It's from beating the elite four, men only

Mewtwo is hilarious in Pokemon Amie too. He looks like he either wants to kill you or himself
 
Yeah, but the girls get much better choices on pretty much any other clothing slot.
 
Yes. Though it took me like 100 hours in game time to find a damn black purse
there's only one and it's $200,000 in lumoise
 
Exp. share pretty much breaks the game, apparently
 
@PrivatePansy Eh. Depends on how often you switch Pokemon in and out of your party.
 
Eh, if you're only in it to beat the elite four I guess. And at that point you're either playing it too casually to care or you're doing a nuzlocke or something
 
3:50 PM
I'm not sure how they didn't notice during play testing that if you turn it on the moment you get it by the time you reach the Elite 4 your entire party would be 20 levels above the difficulty curve
 
I changed my party fairly often so I didn't have overly high level Pokemon.
@PrivatePansy I was actually five levels or so below the Elite Four because I kept switching Pokemon around.
 
@PrivatePansy not really my experience, I had 3 pokemon in my party mostly the whole game and the E4 was still fairly difficult not considering revives/full restores (I lost to them the first time but only because I had 2 revives)
 
I only turned them on after the power station when a friend told me; he's the one with Pokemons 20 levels higher. I'm on Victory Road right now with Pokemons that are easily 10 levels higher than anything I encounter
 
what level are you? I think the E4 is like in the 60s
besides, at the battle maison and in online battles, level doesn't matter anymore
 
@BenBrocka Breeding that 5/6 Sneasel has actually made my subsequent breeding projects so much easier.
 
3:54 PM
@Yuki sweet!
 
Half of my party (I use the entire party, not counting the HM slave) are above 70, and the others are just about there
 
Since Sneasel is in the Field egg group, it's made things so much easier since Field is the biggest egg group.
 
Hang on a second, where is the name rater in X and Y?
 
@PrivatePansy Camphrier Pokemon Center.
 
I lent my game to my friends for a couple of minutes, and now my entire party is named after my friends
 
3:57 PM
I like how the name rather always says the nicknames you lovingly gave your pokemon are eh, could be better, but your Golduck named PSYDUCK just has too much love in that name to change
 
I also like how the Name Rater doesn't even notice you gave your Pokemon the exact same nickname.
 
Name rater needs a "remove nickname" thing, so you don't run into a golduck named psyduck.

@TimStone if they open source it we can make a pull request. We already deal with flags differently in the JS room using a bot. While it's not a development effort turning spam flags off (and keeping mod ones) shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Even if only by removing all the relevant buttons.
 
I'm not sure that would be a good solution.
 
I see non-mod flags abused more often than not.
 
Woo! Managed to clip most of Bela's front paws.
That should resolve getting stabbed for the time being.

@BenjaminGruenbaum That is, however, not a reason to remove it entirely.
 
I just don't get it

Q: Where do I get portion ingredients?

OrigamiRobotSo far I've found monster guts in dungeon chests and as drops from crabs. Where else can I get various portion ingredients?

 
Looking at MSO, apparently the close vote queue on SO is drama again. That looks like fun!

Not sure if this is the entirety of the episodes or not
 
There's a 360p YouTube video up already, but a 720/1080 resolution one should be up soon too
 
Probably

Q: Minecraft Mods and curse

KeltariAs the "computer guy" in the family, I am the default person to ask computer questions. My 10 year old nephew wants to install a Minecraft mods and asked me how to do it. I have never played Minecraft, so I am unfamiliar with it. I did some quick searches and it appears Curse supports Minecraf...

@Lazers FTL
 
@Powerlord That's what I was thinking too!
 
6:53 PM
@Lazers Not a dupe, @fbueckert.
It's likely opinion-based or too broad, but not a dupe.
 
I think it's a perfectly valid question.
 
7:11 PM
Shit, I didn't realize that there needed to be 100+ questions in a tag before a badge will be awarded for it. Ask more KSP questions so I can get my badge!
@FEichinger If you look at the core problem, it's obvious that it's a dupe. The Curse client part is immaterial to the question, especially since it isn't possible with it anyway.
 
7:28 PM
@MBraedley I dare say the question is at it's core about the Curse client, not about installing mods.
The user has experience with Curse and wants to know if and how to use it for Minecraft.
"How to install mods?" in general is nicely related (because it could open up other options), but it's not the same question.
 
@FEichinger Because the asker doesn't know what he truly wants. The problem is installing mods for Minecraft. Bonus points if it's done with Curse. Since Curse can't do it, we're left with installing mods for Minecraft
 
I beg to differ.
 
> My 10 year old nephew wants to install a Minecraft mods [sic]
There! Right there! That's your problem statement!
 
Not everything that happens to include "Minecraft", "mods" and "install" is inherently a dupe of that question.
 
7:34 PM
The question is about the client - and it should be answered. The problem may well be something else, and for that we can still give a Related: link.
 
@FEichinger No, I disagree. If it were an experienced Minecraft user, then perhaps (although I'd still think it's a pointless question), but this is a guy that only wants to solve a problem and "I've heard that this doohickey worked in this other similar but totally different problem and I think it'll work here so ignore everything else in my question and use the doohickey."
That's not how we go about things
 
If we closed as dupe whenever the problem is the same, we would have to go back and close almost all of the questions about Skyrim quests as in every case the problem is debugging a quest.
 
I think it's better for the site to err on the side of non-dupes than dupes
 
Where's the harm in leaving the question open, having it answered and giving a link "Related: How to install mods in Minecraft?"? None. In fact, we get another question answered on the site and the problem solved.
 
@3ventic In some instances for Skyrim, the problem statement is vastly different. Here, the two problem statements are "how do I install Minecraft mods?" and "how do I install Minecraft mods?" They're exactly the same, with the small detail that one concerns the official launcher (which this new guy probably doesn't even know about) and one concerns Curse.
 
7:40 PM
Closing it as a dupe doesn't answer the original question asked, redirects people Google-searching for that question in the future to the master question that still doesn't answer the question.
In this case, "boiling it down to the problem" is, I feel, actively harmful to us "collecting and maintaining information".
 
You also realize that there is an answer on it that basically says "You can't use Curse", right? No one is harmed.

Q: Forza Motorsport 5 Co-op Mode

EvorlorI am considering buying Forza Motorsport 5, but I prefer co-op games. Does Forza Motorsport 5 have a co-op mode? If so, what does it entail?

 
Yes, and by closing it as a dupe we're saying "this shouldn't be answered".
 
And what if Curse updates their client to allow minecraft mod installation?
 
"Go there, that's your problem! We know what you want, now stop asking such silly unrelated things"
 
7:45 PM
No, we're saying "Your problem has been solved elsewhere." It's as simple as that. As I said, all this guy wants is a solution. He knows little to nothing of the problem space, so actively turning him away from a tool that won't work is a Good Thing™
 
Actually, marking it as dupe is saying "This question already has an answer here:" and that's not true at all.
 
@3ventic Okay, the wording's off, but the sentiment's the same.
 
@MBraedley if this is the case, the answer should be "no, you can't use curse, but you can find out how to install Minecraft mods by looking at this question..."

EvorlorOn the Xbox One, how do you check to see what friends are online without leaving the game?

 
Exactly.

I agree with @kalina on something. I'd better leave chat.

marking it as a dupe doesn't achieve that, and thus, marking it as a dupe is the wrong solution
 
boo
DR WHO TIME, EVERYBODY OUT
 
People coming to the site in the future, looking for an answer as to whether or not they can use the Curse client to install mods will not find an answer if we mark it as a dupe.
This is, of course, disregarding the existing answer, because that answer "should not exist", if we close the question.
 
Also there appears to be some kind of limited support within curse client
 
In any case, I stand by my close vote for the reason that the problem posed is a dupe (even if the questions are different). If the question doesn't receive enough close votes, I won't argue it further.
 
7:55 PM
You admit that the question is different while still stating it's a duplicate
 
@boo No cable. Will have to rely on... the perfectly legitimate but crappy streaming options instead. Yeah, let's go with that.
 
Marking it as a duplicate inherently means that the question is the same

Q: Is it more profitable to destroy ships for their loot or to board them?

Jeff MercadoI am really enjoying the naval aspect of the game. It's fun to take out ships and steal their goods. But it's getting a bit repetitive boarding the ships when all I want is their loot. Considering that a destroyed ship usually drops cargo and crew for me to pick up, it seems this is the faster...

 
boo
@MBraedley Wait one hour, HD torrent.
 
If the question is different, it is not a duplicate
 
7:56 PM
@boo What? And commit a crime? No, I'd never do that!
@kalina In this case, the problem statement is more important IMHO.
 
@MBraedley wrong, the single most important thing is helping the person who asked the question

Fail at that, we might as well shut down the site
 
@boo That's my plan!
 
boo
@fbueckert Wanna know what happens?
 
@boo ignores
 
boo
:D
 
7:58 PM
We have got plenty of questions that consist of "Can I do X?" "No you can't."
just because an answer says "no that isn't possible" doesn't make the answer unhelpful
