Hmm, GPU driver update made unsecapp.exe show up in Task Manager.
I googled its purpose and all but it seems I fail to understand why it shows up after this update..? x.x
Does someone have an idea or could explain this?
(I found threads in forums with the exact same topic but of course, as it seems to be some umwritten internet law: It is more than 4 years old and left unanswered :| )

05-27-2014, 08:29 PMAldoraIn short, the unsecapp is a Microsoft application which is used by Windows to offers support towards compatibility issues with applications/services used on the computer. This application should be safe, but viruses have the tendency to impersonate official files. So if you are not sure about the file / process, it’s best to check your computer for viruses and malware.Quote:

If you are using Windows 7 and the unsecapp is currently running, you can check the Action Center to verify if any compatibility issues have occurred in the past. You can find it here:
Click on Start > Right click on Computer > Click on Properties > Click on the Action Center link located under the “See Also”-section at the bottom left of the window.
A new page will open, showing you the latest messages reported by your Windows. -

I checked the center but can't recall right now if there were any entries related to this.
Also I saw that AMD changed the 14.4 driver on 04/30 and I remember downloading it a while ago and only installed it yesterday, I just don't remember if I downloaded before or after this change x.x
Might check all this tonight again because when I made the update and did a virus scan, I wasn't connected to the Internet.
Oh and yes, I am running Windows 7. Most google results are about XP and Vista :/ -

@ Aldora:
Okay, I am home and already did some things:
- Checked Action Log. Showed me that AODDriver4.2.0 (and another version at some point) couldn't be started because: System can't find the path.
- Downgraded from 14.4 to the previous Catalyst 13.12 (didn't have any huge problems, just that my GPU jumped to 89% Usage from time to time while I was actually just watching GPU-Z. Didn't happen again so far)
The downgrade fixed the AODDriver thing but it created a new problem D:
-> AMD FUEL Service couldn't start (reached time limit)
Then I flipped a small table, because I am having a headache right now and I just want to get rid of any incompatibilty and new (to me unknown) processes. In the end I just made a system restore. Luckily my system just created a restore point yesterday evening, yay.
I reset my system just to boot up with another error, saying that the restore couldn't finish properly :|
Good thing is: unsecapp.exe is gone and Fuel.Service.exe is running again! xD
To be safe, the first thing I did now was to create a fresh restore point.
tl;dr: Restored my system and everything strange is gone again.
Moral of the story: Never change a running system (Should take that to heart more often. I recall once updating my Android out of boredom just to be very very unhappy with the outcome orz)
@ Catapult:
Sweet!
Of course I've heard of you but I still can't find the NPCs in Limsa talking about you ; ;"
Crysis:
My FC Leader asked me what I want for my birthday... Actually I am fond of some new earrings (Tidus' earrings look sweet!) but then... then I saw the Before Meteor OST and the earrings were long forgotten. I want the OST so bad but I don't have a BluRay Player nor a PS3 TT______TT -

In FFXI there were bards that sang praise about people. You could change your title there but they would also sing about other players. I always thought that was pretty cool. I know we have the NPCs in each town that gives you your achievement awards and titles, but it'd be kinda cool if the more you accomplish, if NPCs would randomly have conversations about you in town.

05-28-2014, 06:01 PMAldoraI’ve done a little research and apparently this seems to be a reoccuring problem with the AMD Drivers. However, most of the posts i read about this subject are related to the Beta versions of the Catalyst drivers. Most of these issues can be solved by fixing a typo in a filename/locations, but still… Those type of issues are really annoying.Quote:

Now, with FFXIV, i think it would be fantastic if random NPC’s would suddenly talk about you (like you're some kind of hero /hint /hint) when you walk by. Something like “Hey… Isn’t that C’rysta? The one who defeated/saved/etc? I wonder if she would talk to a person like me.”. And when you stop and talk to them, they are amazed that you would even consider talking to them and start talking about your accomplishments. (^_~ )Quote:

I am just as afraid of using beta drivers as of overclocking @.@ (Ok, OCing a lot more)
Had to reboot once last night and saw that .exe again, meh. Looks like I've got to live with it since there were no new entries in the event log.
Thank you for your help! ^-^
Also thanks for the info! Can't wait to check if they're talking about Thal in the DE version too. -

I just came across this really cool FF9 moogle papercraft.
Just curious, what sort of cool FF themed real physical things have you guys made/seen?
I know there are heaps of cool cosplays out there and a cool moogle sculpture and chocobo sculpture have both been posted on these forums (or was that the 1.0 forums..?) but what else is out there?
Extra points for FFXIV stuff of course but there's so much great stuff from all the FF games to draw on that I didn't want to limit it to just that ^_^ -

These two?
Sadly they don't mention Thal D:
Roegadyn: I'll buy you the finest sunsilk(?) haute couture clothing!
Hyur: So you can take them off of me again? No, no, sweetie.
(Maybe my translation is a bit off, but I don't know how exactly to describe the "kleiden" and "entkleiden". "Kleiden" means to put them on/wear them and "entkleiden" taking it off.) -

Coris,
Do you ever watch English films with German speaking characters and find yourself checking to see if the German characters are speaking German accurately? I took German in school and I do it without even realizing it. I'm watching Die Hard 3 and listening to the German speaking characters to make sure they are actually making sense in German instead of just speaking random German words lol. -

I mostly watch series in English and those which I watched so far didn't have german characters in it.
The only time I do this is when reading/watching manga/anime and sometimes it makes me cringe... a bit xD
There is a song from the anime Kill La Kill, which I actually haven't watched yet, named Blumenkranz which is completely sung(?) in German but without having the lyrics at hand I couldn't understand a thing (the tune is quite catchy though)
When talking about speaking different languages: I always wondered if I have an accent :S All I know is, that sometimes I am very bad at words with "th" in it. But it's a bit of a trolling move by my tongue 'cause it's really random ._.
I hope my text makes sense. Really tired right now and felling a bit awful, because I'll get my final exam's results today -

And yes, I am one of those people that listens very carefully when people speak different languages in movies, not only if the language is correct but also the accent, pronunciation and the context. -
05-30-2014, 06:08 PMWilksha
As I've done a fair amount of watching subtitled anime, I've noticed the depending on who is doing the translating and the context of the spoken Japanese can change how the translator word it in the translated language. It's one of those things you can pick up and notice quite quickly if you're not totally ignoring when physically spoken to read the subtitles. Sometime it's just a language barrier, where trying to translate a word of phase has not true or comparable translation to the sub language. Lost in translation is sadly a reality and infuriates me enough that I really want to learn Japanese to get the deeper meaning of the original context. Plus having the hobbies of watching Japanese animation and video games that generally have been developed in Japan, having Japanese comprehension will make enjoying my hobbies so much more. (And maybe a better job cause begin able to speak a second language is valuable to some businesses)

05-30-2014, 06:16 PMSylkisThey localize, not necessarily translate. They can write whatever they want as long as it makes sense in that context...Quote:

05-30-2014, 07:15 PMCorisI got German Text and Japanese Voice. Did this because I was disappointed by Merlwyb's German voice. She speaks so slow, stretched and rolls the R a lot, which I think doesn't really fit her (plus it isn't lip-synched at all).Quote:

Nevertheless, I wished "Hast du jemals von Thal Icebound gehört?!" was in the German version :( Maybe I'll make a thread for it. -

05-30-2014, 07:43 PMShiraiIt doesn't really matter for NPC's that don't have much to do with the world as a whole, but I have seen plenty of things within the main story quests that, well, do kind of tick me off.Quote:

I know from experience how hard some things can be to translate, but sometimes it looks like they aren't even trying to remain close to the original context.
If I must give a concrete example it will be in the Preatorium Gaius battle where the Japanese voice actor taunts you and the English dialogue sais "Aaaaaaaaaaargh!".
I mean, did they even try?
I went to Japanese because I just couldn't stand the "trying to be Brittish" accent of some of the VA's anymore, it was just too horrid to hear.Quote:

As for that NPC dialogue, I think the German version actually might be a lot closer to the original Japanese text.
I'd like to see what the JP client shows. (And hope it's in Kana, I can read that.)
As for the Lipsync, none of the languages are, truth be told, they just make the lips move whenever the NPCs speak making the game look like you're watching an old English dubbed Kung-Fu movie.
Let the yarn roll oh great one!Quote:

But, i’m usually occupied with something around the time they do the Duty Commenced broadcast. I’ve tried listening during the 1st Duty Commenced, but there wasn’t much tidbits i haven’t read on the forums already, so i’ll just wait for the 2 Live letters during the E3. (^_~ ) -
