Thread: Super General Discussion 2.0 - Always offering a happy, fun time~!

@ 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

Just head to the Aftcastle in LL, where the events usually are, and to the side under a tree is the Roe and Hyur with the dialog ^_~

That's cool, did you win some competition or something Thal? They even talk about you here on Ragnarok ^_^

Oh right. /ahem

Nique has taken up sculpturing. As a medium she uses cyclopses, which she stone-fires with the cursed energy of a lamia.
That's her work in the background. I... kinda got caught in the firing process.

Umm... no. It's kinda complicated. I shouldn't brag, but basically, I was a core part of the lore forum through the v1.0 days where we picked apart what the hells was going on in the incomplete plotlines.

What most people don't know, is that Ferne is slightly trolling me. Not just by making the dude sound self-important, but by being a Roegadyn... >_>

I’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.

But, yeah. It’s best to avoid using Beta drivers (not saying you were Beta drivers, but just in general (^_~ ) ) and wait for the official WHQL (“Windows Hardware Quality Labs”) versions of the driver before installing them. (^_^ )

^ This. (^_^ ) If you teleport to the Aftcastle Aetheryte Node, go up the stairs (towards the Lower La Noscea zone) and follow the left wall, you will find the people Nique was referring to. (^_~ ) When you get close, they will say something in the lines of “You’ve have never heard of Thal Icebound?”

If i remember correctly, Thal was mostly known for his knowledge about the Eorzean Lore and was usually found talking with Fernehalwes in the Lore section of the Official Forums. So, this was more a “Homage” to Thal’s input and knowledge about the Eorzean Lore. (^_~ )

(At least that's what I thought)

(o_O?) *reads Thal’s latest post* Ah! I was wondering why those Ogre’s/Cyclops’s had so many arms. LOL I haven’t defeated Turn 6 yet, so that’s probably why i couldn’t recognize that piece of art. Hehehe.

I thought you were referring to this Nique. (^_^ )

I would love to see those types of NPC again. (^_^ ) In FFXI you had to increase your Fame within one or more City States before you could do certain quests. In each city state, you would have to talk to a certain NPC to check what your level of Fame is within the City. 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. (^_~ )
