Uninstalled and installed 15.6 beta driver package. Cursors are back to normal. Wtf?

Obnoxious Windows 7 stuff: My mouse pointer is all of a sudden creating a huge cursor for the highlighter "I" shaped one, like when you mouse over a text input area, or to highlight text. Is there some hotkey I hit accidentally to turn this on? Because this happened just completely randomly...

Yeah that would be more attractive. Many prizes instead of 5, would give a person more hope of winning at least something.

Wow, thank you for this insight. Thanks Gavin, I'll try that. Although still confused why Beagle doesn't need to. I scoured the B15 changelog, but I didn't see anything about this in it. Perhaps it's a feature of a different mod he runs...

To anyone else who is playing Long War B15: Are you able to send a second interceptor toward a UFO while the first one is heading back from its engagement? Or does it lock you out of the UFO button while your first is headed home? I'm locked out (which makes catching fast ships tough at...

Yeah, but you still get the 400 splinters to choose a second hero right? So you can try out every hero but Doom, land on one, and buy it with your 400 splinters (disregarding the few who are 600).

Haha I went back and looked at the pics again, and even his batsignal looks derpy, just like him. It's cracking me up, looks like it's got it's shoulders all hunched up and head down, can't stop laughing.

This was by far the worst season of the three. Netflix originals seem to be cursed?

This continues to look terrible. Well done, DC.

You can definitely go wrong with Luke Cage. Dude is terrible, BY FAR the worst hero I've played.

Ya I got a duplicate Star Lord movie costume from the grinder, like my third usage of the grinder ever. Rustled.

So if everything is miserable, nothing is miserable, right? Everything is just normal.

Shut up! They stole Argentina from me months ago with an infiltration mission, in the same month they had a terror mission planned AFTER the infiltration (lol). I just skipped the terror. I'm still doing ok! Quit doomsaying me. And the chance to lose non-maxed red countries is LW-only, right...

AFAIK in vanilla EU/EW, countries will not leave until end-of-month. I believe LW introduced the possibility to lose them to alien operations mid-month, as well as the additional chance to lose red countries even if they aren't maxed at end-of-month.

Well, it seemed to confirm no air game, no MECs, and the way he dodged around stuff in context with the other stuff seemed fairly clear to me he dodged because they just aren't ready to let loose that bomb yet. I get the distinct impression this game will be even smaller in scope than EU was...

I got curious and looked around,found this interview. Doesn't give me much hope, the way he dodges some questions makes it sound very much like this is a completely different game. Bleh. I get the impression they went too flashy-triple-A with it. Flashy gimmick stuff.

Yeah, I'm still plenty optimistic. I just hope they simply haven't released enough information yet, because I'm having a hard time seeing how what they've laid out in the gameplay/premise preview is XCOM. Part of the beauty of this game is the excellent mash-up of large scale strategy and...

Are you on Normal? I'm playing on Classic because I ignored their warnings thinking I was good enough haha. If I crash and burn at some point on this campaign, I'll likely restart the next one on Normal just to get through an entire campaign to have that under my belt. I think most of Long War's...

Oh believe me, it's one of the main reasons I'm addicted. This mod is just beautiful all around. XCOM 2 isn't looking that great to me simply because of the premise swapping around, unless it very quickly involves you taking over a big base from the aliens and becoming real XCOM again...

Just had a swarming terror mission in mid-Nov with a HUGE mechtoid with like 40 HP. Man, he was hard to take down, I think if I didn't have my disabling shot sniper with me, I'd have gotten destroyed by him. He also had some bullshit reactive something that allowed him a free shot against my...

Yeah, funny enough, I got the by far the easiest extraction map just now. Literally no combat engagement, out in 3 rounds. My operative activated a pod of ~7 exalt, but they all sat outside LOS except for two of them, and those two simply stood still and reloaded. Have my first MEC Paladin...

Same here, assault with sprinter. The map I got this last time around was absurd though, it had one fucking guy on high ground IN SIGHT on the first turn. Doing anything at all activated him and his group, and after resolving that turn, NINE guys from the left (literally one tile away from...

Dunno, the extractions scare the shit out of me. I'm worried I'll lose some A-teamers in them. The data recovery are quite easy after learning the AI mechanics and abusing the hack terminals, but the amount of exalt in the extractions, and the fact you only ever have two hacks is just... ugh...

I came back to it a bit ago after discovering Long War also. My campaign is early November, and I feel like I have a decent hold but it's tenuous at times. I've let a few missions pass by because my roster just couldn't handle it at the time (fatigue/wound issues). Just finished Alien...

Yeah, I definitely love rocketeers in LW. They are absolute monsters, and can single-handedly end an engagement with 4-5 drones/seekers with one rocket. Love it. Steady Aim is your friend. Until my rocketeer is out of rockets, he basically blue-moves to cover and Steady Aim every damn turn.

I'm currently at the beginning of August in my Classic/Ironman LW playthrough (first time). I've force-close scummed a few times, but they've all been due to bullshitty buggy stuff, like an entire pack activating through a wall/ceiling, or a battle scanner being thrown and getting stuck in a...

I hope we'll have magic missiles.

I thought I recall being able to flee from a combat, but I may be wrong. Veterans at level 3 are just as tough as the beginning of the game, possibly even more so. Also keep in mind, if nothing has changed in the past few months, level 3 characters can't participate in the lower level...

Yeah this game is highly recommended from me. And I'm sure that carries a lot of weight, so buy it! It's roughly 60% complete as far as content (still 2 un-implemented areas), but it's still well worth the $20 or less.

Hmm, a little disappointed to read that apparently the scale will be equal or possibly even smaller. Like even fewer meta strategy mechanics. Will be a shitty transition from Long War's epic scale, which is phenomenal.

EW with LW.

Fuck! This guy was amazing. 93 is a good age though, well done and such.

The main, and really only point here.

I can't read these last few pages and not think "This all completely fits for the guy who loves the Star Wars prequels." We tried to cure him of his delusions before, guys. It's time to walk away, we're only going to get hurt again.

I have 16GB, should that be enough for me to run the server and play on it on the same PC without problem? (i5-4670k).

Ok, so I should ditch the Minespan hosted server if I want anything other than vanilla?

Well, I'd have to know how to do this stuff first. Did I dun goofed by snagging a server from Minespan? I just chose something that looked cheap for my gf and I to play on. Do people normally do that to run modded servers, or do they run them off their own machines? I'm having a tough time...

So I finally got this game and checked it out, after falling in love with Terraria and Starbound and such. I had always thought MC was a lot more rudimentary than it was. So, I'm hooked, and I could use some help figuring out mods, and such, because holy hell, if ever there was a game that was...

Ya, tried all that. Eventually worked playing in offline mode, but I can't get it to work without using offline mode. Bummer.

This thread and the I/I let's play posted got me re-interested in this, I had never played EW or Long War. I fresh-installed EU/EW, and installed the LW mod. When running the game, I choose "EW" on the pre-launch splash screen, and when it loads up, it hangs at "loading user settings." Can't...
