![]() The servers are still up, and some people do play, but it is effectively at the end of its life and never going to improve in health. Not only does Vin Diesel star, but he's also a developer the. It is dead in the same sense as any old game. Ark 2 was first announced last year, and was subsequently dated for 2022, but it looks as though that date has slipped slightly. If you don't enjoy survival type games, then you won't like ARK. People who enjoy survival games will enjoy a game much less stressful than Rust, along with a crazy amount of dinosaurs. Ark is a highly unoptimized game, as even high-end hardware often isn't able to achieve a smooth 60 FPS or even a stable 30 FPS.ĪRK: Survival Evolved is totally worth it for both single-player and multiplayer experiences. Why is Ark so poorly optimized? Many users struggle with Ark's performance stutters, low FPS (frames per second), and graphical glitches. The game itself looks spectacular, a worthy sequel to ARK: Survival. Studio Wildcard later said on Twitter that the trailer was made completely in-engine with real game. A follow-up to Survival Evolved, a game known for its big expansions, is surprising enough, but even crazier is that Ark 2 will star Vin Diesel. The much-anticipated trailer for ARK 2 debuted to mixed reactions from fans. Out of nowhere Studio Wildcard dropped a 4-minute cinematic reveal trailer for Ark 2 back in 2020. Other creatures include the Summoner, Exo-mek, Noglin, and Coidwyrm. Does Vin Diesel Ruin ARK 2 cbr.com - Vicki Earland 14h. Genesis Part 2 will add a series of unique creatures, including the Astrodelphis (we prefer the term "Space Dolphin"), the platypus-looking Maewing, the horrific Noglin, the mystical Shadowmane, and the mechanical Stryder. Genesis: Part 2 is the fifth and final paid DLC Expansion Pack for ARK: Survival Evolved and is available for purchase through the Genesis Season Pass. ![]() ![]() The greatest outrage expressed by society when this news story broke was over the surveillance of people like Tess: white middle-class activists whose main concern was road-building. There is much else to praise in Trespass. Clark rises to the challenge of imagining what a story like this would do to a child the emotional violence visited on Mia simply by the facts of her birth. ![]() These lies, piled on top of each other, exert an extraordinary pressure on the excellently written character of Mia. Theirs is a mother-daughter bond put under intense pressure by the ghosts of the past, and by the fact that, as an attempt to protect her daughter from the shame of abandonment, Tess has told Mia her father died. The novel is most successful in dramatising the relationship between Tess and Mia. She sets out to reach back into her past and understand who this man really was, at the same time as Mia, now aged 12, begins her own search to understand the story of her father. It becomes clear to Tess that the man she loved must have been an undercover officer. When a death in the family brings to light the appalling truth that this man, whom Tess knew as Dave, had in fact stolen the identity of a dead child and was not who he claimed to be, a grimly inevitable unravelling ensues. Trespass tells the story of Tess, a former environmental activist, and Mia, the daughter she had with another activist who became violent and unstable during Tess’s pregnancy and then disappeared shortly before Mia was born. There is a problem with the connection between your PC and internet.That EID/feature is assigned to another serial number or there are no more features left on that EID.One fix would be to run the installer as an Administrator or to go back and give that user full permissions to the installation drive.Įrror codes when registering an EID There are generally two causes: The root cause is simple: the user doesn't have full permissions to the required folders on the PC. If this doesnt do the trick, see my support page to get help.ġ027 That one is easy: you need the latest CPS.Ĥ832 This error code is seen when installing the CPS. Use a registry cleaner to delete any unused entries then reinstall the (latest) CPS. Once rebooted go through and delete the following:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\MOTOTRBO CPSĬ:\Users\cwh050\AppData\Roaming\Motorola\mototrbocps.tbl Makre sure you have your codeplugs (if any) saved somewhere else, uninstall the CPS then reboot. Make sure Windows is updated (all patches are applied and no restart is needed). There could also be an issue with Windows (specifically the WMI Service). The fix in this case, is to install and run the CPS as an Administrator. For example, you're trying to write a codeplug with a Capacity Plus channel into a repeater with no Capacity Plus licence in it.ġ646 This is often caused by a lack of permissions to create the below folders. This is by no means a comprehensive list so if you've seen one that I've missed, let me know via the comments.ġ246 You're trying to write a codeplug that has a feature flag and the device you're writing to doesn't. We did however (and I'm sure my technical support colleagues still do) see the same error codes come up more than once and know what to look for. The error codes don't actually say what specifically is causing the error, they only point to several possible causes.īack in the day, when I used to do post-sales technical support, we actually had to do some investigative work to determine the cause in some cases. In some cases, you might encounter an error, either when installing or starting the CPS or - more often - when trying to read a radio/repeater.ĭespite what most think, there is no secret "error codes and what they mean list" hidden in the vaults at Motorola. cable not connected or radios is turned off).įor the majority of us technicians, programming MOTOTRBO radios will go smoothly and without error. ![]() For example, with CPS2, error 1001687 means no acknowledge from device (i.e. Most have the same meaning but there are some differences. CPS2 has different error codes that are in form of 100XXXX where XXXX is the below number. UPDATE (28.05.19) The below is only applicable to CPS 16.0 and earlier. It’s also not as useful for presentations when you need to see the screen as a whole (though setting the opacity at its lowest setting is still functional, even if the screen is slightly darker overall). One disadvantage of Mouseposé is that you can only choose a function key as a trigger, which makes it a little more awkward on laptops or for people who launch applications using their F-keys. The effect stays on for a certain amount of time, or until you manually turn it off. You can change the size of the circle, as well as the opacity and color used to mask the rest of the screen. When you hit a function key, this application dims the screen except for a circular area around the mouse pointer. Mouseposé - If you don’t need to give presentations, but get frustrated when your mouse pointer disappears (darn those dual 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays!), another simple utility that can help is Boinx Software’s Mouseposé (that’s "mouse-po-zay" with an accented E at the end). PinPoint 2.1 costs $10 normally, but is available for free to visually impaired persons (though the free version cannot import new highlight shapes) it’s a 1.7 MB download. You can set it to always display, or show up after a set amount of time to locate it easily when you step away from your computer. ![]() This little Mac OS X utility lets you change the size, color, transparency, and shape of the cursor highlight in addition to the seven built-in shapes, you can download others such as arrows or even Halloween images from the company’s Web site. PinPoint - This year, however, the folks who set up the presentation Mac added a tiny detail that made it twice as easy to follow along: a small red circle surrounding the mouse pointer at all times, courtesy of MacChampion’s PinPoint 2.1. In the past, presenters would often move the mouse pointer in circles to highlight an element – leading, at least in my case, to tired eyeballs trying to track the swirling cursor. The problem is exacerbated on much larger screens, especially when demonstrating applications (such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Photoshop) that have a plethora of windows, palettes, and other interface elements. In this case, it was often easier for me to take a step to the left and point out some iMovie interface elements using my hands, but of course then I wasn’t using the computer, so nothing was happening on screen. The problem with setups like this is that it’s sometimes difficult to follow the mouse pointer as the presenter performs actions. It sported a Power Mac G5 hooked up to a fairly large projector that showed the Mac’s screen large enough for people to see. In addition to letting authors like me demonstrate techniques found in our books, the area was used by Apple and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals for hands-on training sessions.
![]() One of the most significant challenges that The Game Band faced with the Apple Arcade launch was ensuring that it was compatible and played beautifully across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. “It also gave us some peace of mind that if we needed to trim down the memory usage even further, we could do it in a piecemeal approach (e.g., target animations or meshes next) without worrying about needing to overhaul too many systems at once.” In practice, The Game Band found that it was “pretty painless” and “a marked improvement over the previous Asset Bundle workflow,” according to Sorg. The Unity team helped The Game Band achieve a staggering 60–70% reduction in memory usage – and that’s after the new asset management system let them add an additional 500–700 MB of deck textures. ![]() Integrating the Addressable Asset System was a key factor in the studio’s ability to attain an incredible reduction in memory usage. “We ended up marking just the lowest-level assets as addressable, and it turned out that, to get our game running on iPhone, we only needed to manage the card texture memory.” However, it proved to be a bit unwieldy,” explains Sorg. “We started out by attempting to mark all our highest-level assets (the ones that reference all our animations, meshes, textures, etc.) as addressable, which did allow for loading all our scenes asynchronously. The Game Band team experimented to find the right way to deploy this powerful feature set in their game, knowing that they could implement the system just where it was most helpful. Without their support, this fix would have been very difficult to come by.” “One key area they were able to help with was identifying an issue with how we were setting up animations and playable graphs. Our biggest performance optimizations to cross the finish line were based on fixing bottlenecks they helped us identify,” says Sorg. “Unity helped walk us through profiling and provided context for many of the readings we were seeing. CPU times were also more than halved – on low-end devices, performance improved from around 10 fps to 24 fps, eventually hitting their target launch framerate of 30 fps. The team pinpointed issues causing slow startup times, which helped The Game Band to dramatically accelerate from around 60 to less than 10 seconds on lowest-end devices. To boost GPU performance, they used the Shader profiler to recommend changes that would reduce the cost of VertexColor-type shaders. The team recommended integrating keywords to activate and deactivate room transition calculations as needed, as well as culling off-screen character and card elements using CullingGroupAPI. The Memory Profiler identified vital areas where memory usage could be improved, leading to recommendations for better systems to compress and downsize textures, changes to the settings on imported meshes, and performing regular resource audits – together, these suggestions helped the studio reduce memory usage by 60–70%. Also, for testing and debugging, we relied on Unity Remote heavily for Apple TV,” says Brandon Sorg, who acted as both the gameplay designer and technical director for Where Cards Fall. “The Profiler and Memory Profiler were both huge benefits to identify performance bottlenecks. Testing on a 2GB device, they found that Where Cards Fall sometimes crashed at startup as the game loaded, and they also identified key CPU performance issues that would impact gameplay on higher-spec devices. When Unity engineers looked under the hood, they saw that it was essential to enhance both CPU and GPU use to improve the game’s performance on both high-spec and lower-spec devices. ![]() The first front to tackle was core functioning.

Batman can use his cape to glide around the city, diving downwards and swooping upwards to extend his flight, and he can use the grapnel gun's retracting rope to attach to out-of-reach ledges. The player can move silently throughout the game, using a combination of gadgets and stealth moves to sneak up on enemies and incapacitate them. The game is set within Arkham City, which is open to the player from the beginning of the game, allowing them to travel freely anywhere within its boundaries. ![]() It is presented from the third-person perspective, showing the playable character on screen and allowing the camera to be freely rotated around it. A prequel to the series, Batman: Arkham Origins, was released in October 2013, and a narrative sequel, Batman: Arkham Knight, was released in June 2015.īatman defeats an enemy in a demonstration of Arkham City 's "Freeflow" combat systemīatman: Arkham City is an open-world action-adventure game that incorporates tactics from stealth games. Arkham City has received several re-releases, comprising: a Game of the Year edition in May 2012 Wii U and OS X versions in November and December 2012, respectively and a remastered version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2016. A spin-off mobile game, Batman: Arkham City Lockdown was released in December. Like its predecessor, it is considered one of the greatest video games of all time. It was tied with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the highest-rated video game of 2011 according to review aggregator Metacritic, and was the recipient of several awards from media outlets, including Game of the Year, Best Action Game, Best Action Adventure Game, Best Adventure Game, and Best Original Score. The game received critical acclaim, particularly for its narrative, character and world designs, soundtrack, and Batman's combat and navigation abilities. Over a year and $10 million were spent on the game's marketing campaign, and its release was accompanied by two music albums one containing the game's score, and the other featuring 11 original songs inspired by the game from various mainstream artists.Īrkham City was released worldwide for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles in October 2011, followed by a Microsoft Windows version a month later. The layout of Arkham City has a virtual footprint five times that of Arkham Asylum, and the city design was modified to accommodate Batman's ability to swoop and glide. Rocksteady conceived ideas for a sequel while developing Arkham Asylum, commencing serious development of Arkham City 's story in February 2009. Batman's ally Catwoman is another playable character, featuring her own story campaign that runs parallel to the game's main plot. The player is able to complete side missions away from the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Batman can freely move around the Arkham City prison, interacting with characters and undertaking missions, and unlocking new areas by progressing through the main story or obtaining new equipment. ![]() The game is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Batman's combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets that can be used in both combat and exploration. The game's leading characters are predominantly voiced by actors from the DC Animated Universe, with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprising their roles as Batman and the Joker, respectively. He must uncover the secret behind a sinister scheme orchestrated by the facility's warden, Hugo Strange. In the game's main storyline, Batman is incarcerated in Arkham City, a super-prison enclosing the decaying urban slums of fictional Gotham City. Written by veteran Batman writer Paul Dini with Paul Crocker and Sefton Hill, Arkham City was inspired by the long-running comic book mythos. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is the sequel to the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum and the second installment in the Batman: Arkham series.

Mining and oil and natural gas extraction are major contributors to Wyoming's gross domestic product (GDP) and tax revenue. ![]() 8 National parks, including Yellowstone and Grand Teton, and national monuments like Devils Tower and Fossil Butte, as well as the Wind River and Bighorn mountain ranges, help make tourism one of Wyoming's major industries. The state's record high is 114☏ in the Big Horn Basin in 1900, and the record low is 66☏ below zero in Yellowstone National Park in 1933. The high elevations give Wyoming a cool climate overall, but temperatures can be extreme. The state's mountains, which form part of the Continental Divide, channel weather-and often fierce winds-across wide plains. ![]() Wyoming's lowest elevation is more than half a mile above sea level, and its mountain peaks are more than two miles high. It also produces more natural gas from federal leases than any other state and the second-highest amount of crude oil from onshore federal leases. 5 Wyoming is the nation's largest coal-producing state. 4 Wyoming produces 13 times more energy than it consumes, making it the second-biggest net energy supplier among the states after Texas. 1, 2, 3 Wyoming has the smallest population of any state, and only Alaska has fewer residents per square mile. Wyoming is a major producer of coal, crude oil, and natural gas-the fossil fuels that were created from the remains of life in the ancient seas that covered the state many millions of years ago.
