Dishonored 2 wont launch in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] Jacob@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Looking at the community page there are definitely other people with the same or similar issues. No unique solutions though. Just the things I've already tried (which I list in a different comment).

This is so depressing.

Monitor is plugged into graphics card.

For those playing at home I have uninstalled, reinstalled, verified integrity of files, tried all combinations of running steam and dishonored as admin, there are no events in the event viewer, I have disabled onboard graphics, I tried running it off of a different hard drive, I tried starting it in windowed mode, I've tried compatibility modes for win 7 and 8, I've updated my graphics card driver, and there are no windows updates to apply.

I'm basically out of options over here. Looks like I don't get to play this game.

I will check out that event viewer. I had verified the game files though yes.

Dishonored 2 wont launch (beehaw.org)
 

I recently built a new computer and am going through and playing all the stuff I couldn't before. I was particularly excited for Dishonored 2, as I loved the first one. Unfortunately when I try to open it in steam it acts like it's going to launch and then just doesn't. I've uninstalled reinstalled, I've tried run as admin, I've verified the game files, I've ran it in comparability mode, disbled onboard graphics. Nothing.

I know this is an older game at this point, does anyone know of a magic bullet fix for this? It seems like a fairly common issue with no common solution whatsoever.

I'm on windows 10 if that matters.

In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout in c/technology@beehaw.org

Tin foil hat stuff though: what if they intend to pay moderators they hold on thrall, but they need to get rid of the current ones first.

Hopping on your post to proselytize on behalf of The Looker. It's free and it's wonderful. It is also a spoof of sorts of The Witness.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is nature's delight.

Which subreddits would you most like to see on Lemmy? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Jacob@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On reddit there was /r/Serendipity, where a bot would would highlight a randomish post from a fringe subreddit with a little break down of age, number of subs, average comment length, reading level, then like a top of all time post, top of the month, and top of the week.

I would love something like this for instances and communities. Not like a direct copy necessarily, but a one stop place to share and cross pollinate communities. I feel like there's a ton of communities whose first hurdle will be userbase, and the easier it is for people to find and join, the richer the ecosystem will be.

For instance, I regularly used /r/hiphopheads on reddit, but it took me days to find !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz (also, I don't know how to link communities/instances). I wonder how many of my most used subreddits have a lemmy analog that I don't know about because it's on an odd instance or something.
