Q: How do I enable bumper cars on any map?

How do I enable the bumper cars function on my map? What command would let me use bumper cars on any map? I've heard sometimes that if you try to add bumper cars they won't show, is this actually an issue, and if so, how do I fix this?

Q: Company of Heroes 2: How is the artilery in compare to CoH1?

In CoH 1 the artilery was quite annoying, because it had high range (almoust over whole map) and could be fired quite frequently. If you build a bunker it could be destroyed by one artilery. Or your base could be attack by artilery whole game. How is it in CoH 2 in comparison to CoH 1?

I dunno. I don't think that edit was really needed.

But I might be a bit biased.

Sterno

I agree it was unneeded!

I AGREE WITH FRANK. BURN YOUR COMPUTERS

Wipqozn

I think the edit was an improvement, but I'm fine with the original title as well.

I alo need to go home.

Sterno

I also agree with @Wipqozn. Unneeded != must be rolled back

@Sterno Nah, not going to do that.

@James Not a problem.

Powerlord

I wonder why it's not one-boxing in an answer I'm writing.

For those of you who play Destiny, I'm having trouble seeing how this question is answerable:

Q: What Are the Implications of the Destiny Reporting System

Within Destiny you can report players. At first I thought this was for only negative feedback but after using it to report someone for a negative thing I found out that you can report people for positive behavior as well. I searched around and was unable to find whether any amount of reporting ...

destiny

Rapitor

@Frank unless you are Bungie, it's not

Frank

Everything in the question and single answer point to this being a developer only thing.

@Rapitor Well, we're going to need more close votes on it.

Chippies

@JasonBerkan when I had 3 heroes gilded, I had Brittany, Samurai and Frostleaf and they were really good.

murgatroid99

@Frank There's nothing inherent in the question that says Bungie couldn't have released information about it

Frank

@murgatroid99 But that's still developer only information.

murgatroid99

18:16

@Frank I don't think we should close questions because it turns out that only the developer has the information

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 Well, I don't even see a network request for it... it does show up as unblocked in the Adblock Plus option, but I'm also seeing some "blockpage" things, meaning that something is being blocked by our web filter here.

Chippies

@Frank if the information is released to public, is it developer only though?

Sterno

Informatino!

I just wrote a database migratino a moment ago, too!

murgatroid99

@Sterno I have no idea what you're talking about

Frank

@murgatroid99 No, we close questions that we, as gamers, cannot answer.

@Chippies Yes. Because it requires a developer to have actually talked about it.

And Arqade isn't a news site, for us to just repeat what developers have said.

user15026

18:18

@Frank I disagree - if the infomation can be found publicly, and thus linked to/quoted in some way, it works

Unionhawk

We're back to differing definitions of "intent", just like that league question weeks ago

Chippies

@Frank we mostly just google information and repeat it, so how is this different?

Frank

@AshleyNunn That's...a stance our current policy does not support.

murgatroid99

@Frank That's incorrect

user15026

@Frank I disagree wholeheartedly

Frank

18:19

@Chippies Is this information something you can objectively test and verify?

Chippies

@Frank yes, I have answered multiple questions without even playing the game in question, because I can google stuff

murgatroid99

@Frank Many of our answers don't satisfy that

Frank

@murgatroid99 Wanna point me at the policy that says we allow these questions if a developer has answered them?

@Chippies And can players objectively test and verify your information?

murgatroid99

@Frank You're the one making the assertion. Point to the part of the policy that says we close questions because we don't have the answer

Chippies

@Frank I see your point

Frank

18:20

@murgatroid99 That's been my understanding from the beginning. If it requires a developer to have talked about it in order for us to answer it, it doesn't belong here.

user15026

@Frank I've answered many this way, and they have been accepted by the community. Heck, people have accepted and encouraged me EMAILING indie devs and such to ask them things.

murgatroid99

@Frank I'm not asking for your understanding. Can you point to a rule that says that?

Frank

@murgatroid99 Can you point me to a rule that says otherwise?

user15026

For example, if a Blizz dev pops into a forum and says "thing x works way y" and thus it is posted where ANYONE can see it, why can't we use it?

user15026

@Frank I don't think we have a clear hard policy on what "dev only" is, really

user15026

18:22

Mind you, we have various rules around "publicly available knowledge"

Frank

@AshleyNunn A question getting a dev answer doesn't automatically mean we keep the question.

murgatroid99

@Frank You're the one saying it should be closed. You should back that up with a close reason

Frank

@murgatroid99 I am.

user15026

@Frank I am not saying it does, but it is a valid answer.

Frank

> Questions about Game Design and Development are off topic. This includes speculative questions about developer intent, with respect to both mechanics and narrative.

From the close reason.

Q: Is "This question requires developer only knowledge" the same thing as developer intent?

The question I have in mind, in particular, is this one. There are arguments being made that this question is off topic because it requires developer insight in order to have a 100% authoritative answer. Does this fall under the category of developer intent or not?

discussion allowed-questions specific-question

user15026

@Frank Key word - "speculative"

Unionhawk

^ relevant

murgatroid99

@Frank This isn't about "developer intent"

Frank

@murgatroid99 What else is it?

murgatroid99

@Frank Developer knowledge. It is a factual question about the game, not what the developer intended to do

user15026

18:23

If I can say "word of God says x" for some value of God and x, with backup proof from a screen shot/forum post/blog post etc, why cant it be true?

user15026

Why is that unacceptable to you?

Frank

@murgatroid99 Okay, point me to where in the game it tells you where this is.

Unionhawk

If the question is "why did Bungie make the reporting system work that way", yes, that's intent. The question is "How does this thing work?".

user15026

@Frank Just because it isn't IN the game does NOT make it a bad answer

murgatroid99

@Frank Not everything that's not answered in the game is developer intent

That's a false dichotomy

user15026

18:24

Just because you found it from other places doesn't mean it doesn't relate to the game and work.

Frank

@AshleyNunn And repeating what a developer has said isn't on-topic. Unless you can objectively verify and test it.

user15026

@Frank Why?

Frank

@Unionhawk And the answer is, "We dunno. Only Bungie does."

murgatroid99

@Frank That's not an on-topicness test in any actual rule we actually have

Unionhawk

@Frank I would like to point out that this has been discussed before, and consensus disagrees.

user15026

18:25

If a dev says x, then we now know it.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Because that's our on-topic stance.

user15026

@Frank Where?

user15026

I have NEVER seen that.

murgatroid99

@Frank You keep saying that, but you haven't actually given a reference for that

Frank

@AshleyNunn We are not a news site.

user15026

18:26

@Frank I fail to see what this assertion has to do with the matter at hand

Frank

We don't play to just repeating what devs have said.

murgatroid99

@Frank That doesn't mean that everything developers has ever said is off topic

user15026

@Frank WHy not?

Frank

Which is all we can do for those types of questions.

Rapitor

user15026

18:26

If it answers the question, and solves the problem, then it is a VALID response

Frank

@AshleyNunn Because what they say != what is true.

murgatroid99

@Frank They didn't lie. They changed their minds

@Unionhawk go away with your facts. We're arguing

Unionhawk

As it is, the community seems to disagree with you.

user15026

They didn't give false info, they gave the best info they had at the moment they said it

Frank

@murgatroid99 But just repeating what devs say doesn't help us, Arqade, nor the internet at large.

user15026

18:27

by that metric giving anything that changes with a patch should be closed

murgatroid99

@Frank That's not for you to decide

user15026

@Frank How does that even? That makes zero sense. It helps plenty!

user15026

I don't think you can speak for the entire internet, just saying.

Frank

@AshleyNunn How? How does parrotting what a dev has said help?

murgatroid99

We don't have any rule that says we shouldn't have these questions, and community consensus disagrees with you

Frank

18:28

How does that play to our expertise?

murgatroid99

@Frank You're shifting the burden of proof

Frank

How does that do anything but risk information changing. Information that we can't test, nor verify.

Q: What does "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" do?

I realize that many times when there is an issue with a game on Steam, it can be solved with "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". But, what exactly does this do? I tried running Darksiders and it gave me an error of "Missing Executable", so I figured the verify would easily catch that and install ...

@AshleyNunn A question that was off-topic to begin with!

@murgatroid99 And I'm pointing to exactly why it is.

murgatroid99

But you haven't provided any justification for those claims

Frank

It's speculation!

@murgatroid99 Yes, because I'm arguing one point at a time.

murgatroid99

@Frank That is the point

I'm not getting sucked into separate side discussions.

Wipqozn

I popped in my head on mobile and saw drama so I decided to come join the room.

murgatroid99

We're all making that same point

That's the same argument everyone else in the room has been making the entire time

user15026

@Frank I am still not convinced.

Frank

@murgatroid99 And, as usual, I'm getting dogpiled. So sue me for trying to argue with one person at a time.

badp

Yeah I'm not seeing it

Unionhawk

18:34

It's not a separate side-discussion. You asked for the rule that says this is not off-topic. I delivered that for you.

Origami Robot

You don't have to argue with one person at a time. Everyone is saying the same thing.

murgatroid99

@Frank If everyone disagrees with you, maybe it's time to reconsider your position

Frank

Can we answer this question? As it currently stands, is this answerable?

That's what I was asking from the beginning.

murgatroid99

@Frank That's not a criteria for determining whether a question is on topic. And it never has been

Frank

@murgatroid99 Perhaps people should not dogpile?

user15026

18:35

@Frank Just because a lot of people disagree with you, and are trying to explain and express such, does not mean that we are dogpiling, we just all happen to have a different shared stance than the one you possess.

Origami Robot

OK, how about this. Forget all other discussions and read the link that @Unionhawk provided.

Frank

@AshleyNunn And you're all arguing different aspects of that argument.

murgatroid99

@Frank Perhaps you shouldn't characterize everyone disagreeing with your stance as an attack on you

user15026

@Frank Because we are separate people with separate views that are part of one relatively cohesive whole.

Frank

@murgatroid99 Kinda hard not to when I'm getting three different people saying I'm wrong.

Unionhawk

18:36

Nothing else matters. We have +20/-4 that this sort of thing is not developer intent.

user15026

This is a risk that one takes when arguing an unfavoured position in a large group.

user15026

@Unionhawk That sounds like a pretty clear decision to me

murgatroid99

@Frank Don't take disagreement so personally. If everyone thinks you're wrong, maybe you are

Origami Robot

Everything you are saying is very neatly refuted in @Unionhawk's link.

Frank

SO, no. I'm not going to argue this with more than one person at a time. Don't like it, don't care.

Are you ceding your spot, @murgatroid99?

user15026

18:37

@Frank That's fine, that's the joy of async chat

user15026

But it is also a public, open room, so people can and will respond as they like, regardless of what order you are responding in

user15026

@Frank Hostility helps not in this sort of case.

Frank

@AshleyNunn That's not hostility. That's me imposing some order on it.

murgatroid99

Only to have that characterized as talking to a wall.

@Frank I am not sure why you are saying this to me specifically

Unionhawk

read the answer I posted, then come back to me.

@AshleyNunn Because you're the one saying I don't have to respond to every statement.

@Frank That was rude and I apologize, however, I would like to point out that the community disagrees with you.

badp

pun not intended

Wipqozn

@Frank: The question is essentially asking "What does this in-game feature do?", which is perfectly on-topic. That's how I view the question, which is why I think it's fine.

We've discussed dev intent/dev knowledge before on Meta, take it there if you have a problem with the current decision

@Frank As this quote was prompted by a similar quote from me, I also apologize

Frank

@Unionhawk I wasn't all that polite, either, so I guess we can call it a wash.

user15026

it just means none of us currently do, and thus people may postulate

Frank

@Wipqozn And that's a good viewpoint. I didn't see it like that.

badp

In lore, people may seek an answer where there just isn't one

Sconibulus

18:44

@AshleyNunn and, hopefully, the long tail will pick up with a real answer when one becomes obvious

badp

This isn't the case here.

Frank

I read the second paragraph, "I searched around and was unable to find whether any amount of reporting (good or bad) actually has an affect on the players you're reporting. If anyone knows what the implications of the reporting system is I would welcome the information."

And then I asked for someone that plays Destiny to answer a question for me.

user15026

@Frank Again, this is something that will, in all likelihood, be revealed at some point

Wipqozn

@Frank Yeah, I suspected you were looking at it differently than I was.

Frank

It looked like someone asking for developer information, to me.

Unionhawk

18:48

Developer information is irrelevant. Intent is not the same as knowledge.

user15026

@Frank Which is, I think, where things went south, because developer intent and developer info are not the same thing

Rapitor

@AshleyNunn coming back into the conversation, but Bungie used a similar reporting system in the halo games. there was still no definitive answer.

murgatroid99

@Frank OK, now that we've established that, can you please respond to the meta answer that indicates that developer information != developer intent?

user15026

@Rapitor Which is fair, but it doesn't mean that there can't be one

user15026

Just because there hasn't been in the past doesn't mean that there can't be one in the future

murgatroid99

18:49

@Rapitor And that's also not a good reason to keep someone from asking

Frank

@murgatroid99 That's still not something I'm clear on. A question that requires knowledge from the developer to answer is still off-topic. For the LoL question, there's something to point to and test to at least get close to what the answer probably is.

The difference for this question, so far as I know, is that there's nothing there for us to be able to test.

Destiny players, feel free to correct me.

murgatroid99

@Frank That second sentence contradicts that meta answer

Frank

@murgatroid99 Can we make a reasonable assessment on what this functionality does?

Serious question. I don't play Destiny. I don't know.

murgatroid99

@Frank If you want to handle stuff one at a time, can you stick to the topic at hand

Frank

@murgatroid99 That's what I'm doing.

murgatroid99

18:52

You said that "A question that requires knowledge from the developer to answer is still off-topic"

The meta answer disagrees

Frank

Last paragraph from the answer: Sure we can't prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt, but we can make a reasonable assessment based on experience, and the knowledge we can uncover. But that does not make it off-topic.

Rapitor

Having reported people for both good and bad nothing seems to happen.

murgatroid99

Can you justify your statement?

Sconibulus

One could theoretically organize hundreds of players to report eachother, a hundred other players to not report eachother, try to synch the entering of an instance as they each play a hundred games, and see whether there are statistically significant differences

Frank

@murgatroid99 That's the whole reasoning for the, "Why did they design it that way?" type of question. And is there to prevent speculation and rumors from clogging up answers.

Sconibulus

18:53

I'm not saying it would be easy, but it is certainly testable

murgatroid99

@Frank That's not what I'm asking. The meta question says it's on topic. You say it's off topic

Sconibulus

or as simple as have hundreds of people report BanTest123, and see if he gets banned

Frank

For a full answer on this question, right now I'm getting the feeling that it requires a developer to properly answer. In which case, the fallback: is this something we can objectively test?

Unionhawk

Sure, I could buy destiny and you could all report me as negative, and we'll see if anything happens.

I won't, but we can

Frank

@murgatroid99 The meta says something that we can test to get to a reasonably close objective answer is something we would allow.

murgatroid99

18:54

@Frank OK, if you're just going to ignore that meta, can you provide a source indicating that objective testability is a criteria for determining whether a question is on topic

Frank

@murgatroid99 I'm not ignoring it! I'm trying to point out the difference between the question it was about, and the one we're currently talking about!

Sconibulus

Is answerability something we decided was a good metric recently? I thought answerability being a bad metric was one of the reasons we had trouble with a lot of Lore questions

murgatroid99

@Frank The most important quot from that answer:

> As we have discussed before, answerability is a horrible metric for whether or not a question should be considered on-topic or not.

Frank

@murgatroid99 And I agree with that.

But developer only knowledge is a separate issue.

murgatroid99

@Frank So we shouldn't close a question because we can't answer it

Unionhawk

18:56

@Frank Literally nowhere do I mention ability to test in that meta answer.

Last paragraph from the answer: Sure we can't prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt, but we can make a reasonable assessment based on experience, and the knowledge we can uncover. But that does not make it off-topic.

reasonable assessment = something to point to and verify, no?

user15026

@Frank But that DOES NOT make it off topic

murgatroid99

> that does not make it off-topic

Frank

Okay, we're starting the whole different stance thing again.

murgatroid99

@Frank I'm sorry that there are multiple reasons why you're wrong

Unionhawk

@Frank No.

Frank

@AshleyNunn I admit, I didn't see that question as asking about an in-game mechanic. Now that I see it as that, alright, yeah, we can keep it.

We just need to police answers so that they back up their statements, and aren't speculation or based on rumors.

Unionhawk

"point to and verify" would be the "sure we might not be able to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt but" bit

Frank

@Unionhawk Which makes it a reasonable assessment, no?

Origami Robot

@Frank That's called voting, no?

Sconibulus

is speculation bad for an answer? I thought that was just something that got downvoted if it was insufficiently supported

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Yup. And I'm happy to downvote answers that don't back up their speculation.

Q: Skip mantle question when launching game

I have an nvidia gpu and as such will not be launching Beyond Earth with the mantle option. Is there a way to bypass the start up option of launching in normal mode or mantle mode, and just always default to normal?

murgatroid99

Oh hey, it's lunch time

Frank

So, do we still want to discuss this in the general case? Because I agree with seeing it as a mechanic question makes it on-topic.

user15026

@Frank Nope

Frank

19:02

@AshleyNunn TOO LATE! I ALREADY CONCEDED! NOT STARTING THIS AGAIN!

Wipqozn

@Frank aka wipqozn saved the day and is a hero

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn Pretty much

Wipqozn

Excellent.

Unionhawk

Like, actually.

> This year, believe it or not, PLAYBOY has unveiled a "Sexy George R.R. Martin" costume.

I won't link to the relevant article for obvious reasons.

Unionhawk

19:06

I believe it

I mean, they had John Oliver and others

Wipqozn

Well, I'm going to go read before my company comes over.

I blame all of you for me not reading now. You kids and your drama.

Unionhawk

You really have only yourself to blame

That's both a philosophical statement and a "blame @Wipqozn" joke! WOO

@Sterno 'Sea Lioning' is the best neologism of 2014

Someguy112161

19:26

@djsmiley2k that was fast

djsmiley2k

@Someguy112161 gotta be in it to win it.

Batophobia

Some decisions need to be made quickly

Someguy112161

@Batophobia peanut butter or chocolate? Blue pill or Red pill? Left or Right?

up or down?

murgatroid99

I am slightly nervous. I have a meeting with my boss's boss in half an hour

Unionhawk

@Someguy112161 Yes, no, yes, respectively.

Batophobia

More like "How do we get to the moon?" Those kinda questions need immediate answers.

Someguy112161

@Batophobia on a dream

Sconibulus

@Batophobia LAZER ablation

Someguy112161

@Unionhawk that's logic for you

Unionhawk

No, that's numberwang!

Someguy112161

@Unionhawk well I feel like derailing this even futher

Unionhawk

19:32

I just realized that incrementals are the new 2048

I'm scared

Someguy112161

what is the funniest/ weirdest steam username you have seen?

Unionhawk

Just discovered half the issue

Someguy112161

@Unionhawk well nice work

djsmiley2k

Someguy112161

@Unionhawk mind answering my question?

Origami Robot

19:35

@Batophobia sigh This is really annoying.

djsmiley2k

you're meant to have to get to level 70+ to leave the tower with your items intact

I just left at level 16 and kept everything o_O

Someguy112161

what is the weirdest/funniest steam username you have seen?

Unionhawk

@Someguy112161 Variants of "Dispenser (user)" are good

Someguy112161

@Unionhawk I would have to say "roasty my toasty" takes the cake

Unionhawk

Q: What determines how strong a fish is?

Occasionally while fishing, I will get a message like this: What affects these events? Do all instances of a single fish type have the same strength? How can I lower the chance of these happening?

@Powerlord @Unionhawk what's not to enjoy?

19:56

@Sterno Huh. That's twice I've seen this image today.

Batophobia

And incremental with an ending, that's kinda nice

Yuuki

@Batophobia That feels like a thing that shouldn't exist.
