MikeyZA got a reaction from psysex75 in After upgrade from Win7 to Win 10 - Black screen
We upgraded a small subset of machines to Windows 10 for internal testing at work. 20 machines out of 180. It has been a fun ride so far with various bugs and glitches but for the most part... stable. Except for the marketing machines which run SLI Quadro cards. SLI is buggy to the point if crying. I decided to give this a try at home and promptly used the media creation tool from MS and using my 8.1 key did a secure erase of my SSDs re-raided them and installed. All updates, all Visual C, all current DX redists, and the latest 353.63 GeForce Drivers. Let me tell you my 980s are not happy. Neither are my old 780s just for confirmation.
3DX has black screen/crashes/render tearing
Shadow of Mordor is CDT
Witcher 3 is Driver Stopped Responding CDT
GreyGoo is CDT
GTA V seems ok but only 1 card works.
Forcing 1 card makes the problem intermittent but still happens. There seems to be some fight going on between the Windows Update routine and GeForce experience, and for the record, unlike Windows 8/8.1/7 etc, you cannot disable the updates or skip some. You can only defer them.
Mileage varies as it's not constant, but the constant resetting of my 2nd monitor is frustrating.
Don't get me wrong, Windows 10 is brilliant but it still has a lot of things to fix. There is a large update targeted for October. I've re-installed Win8.1 and all is well again. I'll wait a while before making the jump.

MikeyZA got a reaction from Riela in Upcoming Updates
So I heard from a friend that there is now an option to add photos to the profile. Queue here for the utter deluge of fake pictures that will now be added from Tumblr, Flikr, Google etc. While the concept is sound in a perfect world, 3DX is not a place where most want their true identity seen. For RP it is going to do wonders, but for the rest it's just going to either be used for fakes, trolling or other such things. I haven't seen the feature yet and I'm not bashing it, I just don't think it's going to be useful and at best maybe a few might put their real pictures there. If it has a privacy setting, for friends only, that might work but could still lead to the above. Just my 2c on something I see as mostly pointless.

MikeyZA got a reaction from Josey in Won't be very active!
Again?
Best of luck Ash, hope whatever you are focusing on goes according to plan and is worth your focus. Real life is always the key thing to place first. Never lose sight of what you want in life and remember to grab it with both hands, not just one.
Come back when you are ready, finished and successful.

MikeyZA got a reaction from ajay in Shemales
There is a fairly large, albeit inactive thread about shemales, I personally support them adding it because it promotes full equality and representation of all sexualities in the game.
I just hope some guys to not get jealous when one of the fine shemale specimens has a larger phallic member

MikeyZA got a reaction from Callista in THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU WRITE ANYTHING
This.
Well said Shanti. There are far too many things being posted lately that are causing so much issue, and we need actual moderation on these forums because right now it's an utter free-for-all.

MikeyZA got a reaction from Akali in Thugsta and Akali Wedding :)
Wishing you both many happy moments together and may only love and happiness bless your time together. I hope that the foundations that brought you together continue to dominate your future relationship and my best wishes to you both.
Remember also that if you make it through your first month you will beat most Hollywood relationships
Best to you both

This is always sad news. My deepest condolences to you and the family affected during this painful time. Take strength from the fact they are in a better place.

MikeyZA got a reaction from OliU in How to fix the Tutorial non-progression bugs at virtual partner and others (Screenshots)
Or you can eliminate the hassle of the horrible Windows 8 start screen by spending 5 Dollars on Start8 and having a real mouse friendly start menu again
RIP the real start menu. August 24th 1995 to October 26th 2012. You will be remembered.
Great post Ash. I do this all the time when I need to reinstall. Would be amazing if they could let the game check your online profile for this flag instead of keeping it registry resident.

MikeyZA got a reaction from Abbey in Gift Prostitutes
If real money were involved, and gifts could be back traded for actual currency, I would agree that it is actual real prostitution but it is so far from that it's not even remotely worth all the effort you put into your post as yet.
It's a sex game first and foremost with a large and active social community. Said ladies are doing no harm, causing no outcry and are providing an outlet to the wave of gents whom start a conversation with "hey baby wanna fuck" or don't even talk and just drop a random cold hoping. Now they can take their free 300xg and have a romp, get off and go swig a beer and stop harassing the poor women that suffer through colds.
These ladies are role playing and playing how they want to and it is NOT for us to judge how they choose to play. They are harming nobody, causing no drama other than having to keep track of the queue and are actually keeping people happy and enjoying their time too.
I understand where the OP is coming from, Achat is an absolute cesspool of prostitutes that will not do a thing unless you gift them and line their pockets and collection. Our community is not like this OP. Clothing is not bought. It is free. Gifts have no money value at all unless you buy gold and don't hoard your free daily allowance. I can safely say the devs are thinking smart in this one.
So psycho-analyze all you want and study behavioral patterns to your hearts content. Just don't yell "FIRE" when there is no fire.
