Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Temporary freeze

Hi!
I have problems in the game:
I was roaming in the world when I saw an enemy and the game stopped for a while (2,3 sec.) and suddenly continued.
After the enemy was beaten happened the second freeze.
In the game everything is fine (FPS,Sounds,Grapics etc.) until I meet an NPC/Enemy.
This bug makes the game unenjoyable, please help!
Thx.

It's a wine problem. Another Arch user reported the same problem:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … n&iId=7506
Wine problems are usually solved by upgrading to a newer (and hopefully better) version, or by rolling back to a previous version wich didn't have this problem.
edit: Denacke beat me to it

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Who has two arrows and is pumped for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?
This guy: > <
(hint: me)
In no other game could I want to log 40 hours of gameplay, not move the plot one bit, and be completely content about that. So many skills to hone. So much land to explore. So much side-questing to do. And dragons.

Yeah, I admittedly never beat Oblivion but I definitely logged an obsurd amount of hours. I remember jumping everywhere to level up my Acrobatics skills so I could eventually leap onto buildings. I think by the time I was ready to move the plot along I had completely forgotten where I need to go and who I needed to talk to.
I too am a big fan of co-op, especially couch co-op. I'm not sure how they could pull something like that off with an Elder Scrolls title since the world is so huge but it would be awesome.
If they put a man on the moon, surely they have the ways to add co-op to the Elder Scrolls series. While single-player is fun, I just feel it is rather isolating, especially when a person is used to playing games that involve others. On the far end of the spectrum I am also looking forward to Saints Row the Third, that game and the two before it are great stress relivers. ;-)

I want to play an Elder Scrolls game on my iPad. What's the next best thing?

You know, like Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim. A full on rpg. I would settle for something with a similar feel to it, a science fiction setting might even be ok. If I can't play an Elder Scrolls game on my ipad, what's the next best thing?
Thank you.

A fair number of folks ask here for certain types of apps. In you search the app store you will get at least a couple that look like rpg games. But the form factor is not real good. Rage hd would give you a feel for what tou and cannout get on tablet. Pretty good graphics, pretty rough controls.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall in AUR, anyone would like to test?

Recently I found a way to unpack archives used in Daggerfall, so now there is nothing that stops us from having it in AUR. Especially, that Daggerfall is now free, released by Bethesda for 15 years of TES anniversary. The package contains last Daggerfall (2.13 + Comp USA edition quests + fixsave 1.75) - so all official files. You can get it here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50316 - please note that I have not tested it on 32 bits, I'm bit worried for the extraction code (it uses bit shifts, it should be OK, but I cannot be 100% certain). It would be cool if someone could report how it works.
The package requires only dosbox to run and python2+bsdiff+unzip for building. Also, please adjust dosbox configuration to your needs, probably post your best working config so I can update the default config to one that works for most people?
The unpk.py script is used to unpack PACKED.DAT into ARCH3D.BSA and DAGGER.SND, and to unpack 109 updated files from patch file DAG213.EXE - it can probably be also used to unpack files from other old DOS games. It is based on public domain code and descriptions (with links to sources in comment near beginning), but modified (for example to support archives other than PACKED.DAT). If you want to use it, have fun with it, but be careful - it is very sketchy and bugs can live inside - I only tested it on 64 bit system and Daggerfall archives.
Soon I will create second package that requires this one, and will add community created stuff like bugfixes, improvements and quests. You will be able to install it anytime and it wil change from time to time as new files are released. It shouldn't break anything, in worst case you will have to start new game to benefit from new stuff.
Below is the information package shows after install, it's good description of the startup wrapper in package
========================================
You must read and accept the Daggerfall terms of use:
/usr/share/licenses/daggerfall/license
You should tweak dosbox settings to match your needs:
/usr/share/games/daggerfall/dagger.conf
To play, make sure you are in games group and use command:
daggerfall
To setup your sound card, use command:
daggerfall --setup
If your game gets corrupted, you can try fixing your saves with:
daggerfall --fixsave
or fixing your maps with:
daggerfall --fixmaps
========================================

One last update for some time. Mods support went quite well and turned out to be easy, so I did it already!
I'd like to describe the mod system a bit - it's extremely easy:
1) you create directory in /usr/share/games/daggerfall/mods/<name> - <name> will be name of your mod in system (to enable, do --enable-mod=<name>). In most cases, that's all!
- all files and directories inside will be copied to /usr/share/game/daggerfall/DAGGER when enabled.
- original version of files will be remembered automatically, just in case you want to disable mod
- new files will be marked as new, so they are also removed from system - same for empty directories
- if two enabled mods modify same file, it's conflict and whole enable process will be stopped, what can you do?
2) if you are sure, that your mod works well and includes other mod, create file /usr/share/games/daggerfall/mods/<name>.extends and place names of mods your mod extends, one in each line of file.
- if you enable mod that extends another mods, system will make sure they are enabled before continuing
- you can create mod sets by creating only <name>.extends without <name> directory
- file that are changed few times are remembered - i.e. all past versions are stored
- you cannot remove mod without removing what depends on it
3) no, really - there is no 3... just <name> directory and <name>.extends file! All is managed by launcher and you don't have to worry about it!
System itself works using simple
--list-mods
--enable-mod=name
--disable-mod=name
There already 23 mods packaged in two AUR packages:
daggerfall-fixes - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50417 - unofficial fixes to standard features ( http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Fil … _and_Fixes ), good for 99% of players, you would most likely also want to enable wagon capacity of 1000 and high skills if you want to get original Daggerfall experience!
daggerfall-addons - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50422 - unofficial addons to standard features, without gameplay modification ( http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Fil … al_Add-Ons ), good for 90% of players, no gameplay mods, only more quests, text, textures, etc - you might want to disable mod brendan_straight_text and enable brendan_funny_text for some in-game jokes
From now on I will only fix bugs in launcher/packager and update daggerfall-fixes and daggerfall-addons as new versions come out upstream. I will not package other mods (no, really. I don't plan to because I don't use them when playing and they modify the game too much in my opinion), but it's easy and you can do it if you want, just extract archives to right places. What you might want to package?
1) Bigger gameplay mods
- AndyFall
- DaedraFall
- The Pirates of Tamriel
2) Translations
- French
- Spanish
- Russian
3) Save game editors and cheating tools if you are into this stuff
4) gui for launcher?? PyQt maybe? Anyone?
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files is great resource for starting. Oh, and this installation and launcher is compatible with to-be-engine-remake DaggerXL/XLEngine - see http://xlengine.com/ - yay for native linux, windows and mac client!
And last but not least, tell me if you find any bugs in launcher or extractor, it grew quite a lot - almost 1500 lines of bash and python, so mistakes could crawl in. If not, I announce The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall fully packaged - and Arch is first linux distro I know to have one
HAVE FUN!

What can I do to stop the vertical scroll bar from freezing up or vanishing?

I am mostly in the App Store, but often the vertical (up & down) scroll bar will freeze up so it does not move or while scrolling with it, the bar vanishes! How can I fix this or can it be fixed?

The only thing that's worked for me is clicking on a selection (I'm usually in music), and then going back to the main page. Usually, the scroll bar will reappear. That's a ridiculous jumping through hoops to do something simple, but I haven't found any solution, either.

Temporary freezes after fitting SSD and new ram

I recently replaced the internal HD in my MacBook Pro with a 250GB SSD from OWC and doubled the ram to 4GB at the same time. I'm very pleased with the improvement in performance, except that I now get temporary freezes for as long as 20-30 secs. I can move the cursor around and click but nothing happens. When The computer 'comes back' it responds to what I did while it was 'away'. This happens several times a day.
Any ideas what might be going on here?
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

I have a SSD installed and I don't get any of that. I also don't use Safari, I use Chrome.
The SSD I installed is a Kingston SSDNow V200 128GB. It has been running fine for 2 months.
One big reason I use Chrome is because it allows me to sync all browser data across many different computers.
If I change, add or delete a bookmark it gets updated on all my computers. If I save or delete a login username & password for anything it get updated on all computers.
But I digress.
As to your problem I'd call OWC and tell them your problem. And you could try putting the original drive back in and see if you get any freezes. If you do them it may be the RAM. If you don't then it is the SSD.

HD recycling leading to temporary freezes and directory damage

Hi all
I have an iMac 7, bought beginning of 2008.
I have had no problems with the computer until now, either windows or osx.
Over the past month I have been experiencing temporary freezes. This behavior in windows makes the computer freeze for about 2-4 minutes and then recovers. All the actions I make with the mouse during the freeze stack and resolve after the freeze. In OSX the freezes do not get in the minute range, just like 30 seconds long or so.
The problem usually extends to data corruption and failure to boot anymore. I have reinstalled OSX and windows many times now and the problems repeat. To the extent that that even during OS installation I get corruption. Verifying the disk just after installation report unfixable directory damage.
I am pretty convinced I have a hardware problem but I am trying to pinpoint it.
Things I have looked into:
Clear NVRAM & PRAM
Performed RAM test
Performed drive surface scans
Check S.M.A.R.T monitoring.
Graphics Tests
All things have shown negative results. Anyhow, my intuition (which may be off) leads me to a Hard Disk mechanical/heat problem. When the freezes occur, I clearly hear something, recycling, spinning off and then on. It could be any fan but I think it is the hard disk. What I don't know is if the recycle is consequence or cause of the failure.
The problem is getting worse in time. More frequent freezes and more frequent and evident data corruptions.
The reason I want to pinpoint the problem is to ease the support process. Apple warranty does not cover my iMac but by my country laws it must if the failure is not caused by miss-use. Somehow I expect to be a heavy administrative paperwork process because I am going to have to show somehow I have not done any miss-use before hand.
Other thing I am considering if its a hard drive problem, is opening the imac and replacing the HD myself, might be cheaper than the paperwork. Any suggestions on this??
Thanks for reading.

HI,
*"Over the past month I have been experiencing temporary freezes."*
How much free drive space is there? Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
Have you booted from your install disk, run Disk Utility?
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
And you could try the Apple Hardware Test

Intermittent temporary freeze on Hetis 865GV-E

I am experiencing random and temporary freezes (1 to 20 seconds) on my two Hetis 865GV-E computers. The specs on both are as follows: Intel P4 Prescott 3.0E, 1GB (2 x 512MB) Crucial RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2, 80GB Western Digital SATA HDD, Sony DVD +/-RW. Both have a 128MB PCI video card but different models: Jaton GeForce MX4000 and a Chaintech GeForce FX5200.
I have tried the following: verifiy with Crucial that the memory is matched to the Processor/motherboard, re-installed Windows on a new hard drive, disabled the virus software, called MSI support (they sent two new boards - same problem), ran Ad-Aware and virus checks, ran memory and hard drive diagnostic tests.
This has been going on since March '05 and I have run out of ideas on what to try next. Sometimes when typing in a field the characters stop appearing even though I continue to type but when the "freeze" is over all of the characters appear all at once. This would seem to rule out a hard drive problem. I usually am in Outlook when I get the freeze but it happens in other programs as well.
I would appreciate it if anyone has any other ideas that I can try. Thanks in advance!

I have installed the SpeedFan utility and it does look like I am having a heat issue (good call Dr Stu!). The fan (not sure if it is the system or cpu fan or both) is running consistently at a high RPM since installing SpeedFan. This is probably because the utility is determining that the temp is too high and it is turning up the RPMs on the fan. The freeze-ups are no longer happening but the fans should not be running at high RPM 100% of the time. This makes the computer pretty noisey. SpeedFan is showing Fan1 at 5067 RPM and Fan2 at 5285 RPM.
One snapshot shows these temps: Ambient - 35C, Remote 1 - 33C, Remote 2 - 42C and HD0 - 36C
I'm don't know to what Remote 1 and Remote 2 are referring - CPU and Northbridge?
Any ideas on how to get the temperatures down?

[SOLVED] UI temporary freezes

Hi,
I use gnome 3, and since a couple of days, I suffer from temporary freezes. It seems that it is only a screen update problem, as keyboard and mouse keep responding. I have googled a bit and search through the forums, but I can't find anything recent like this. Logs don't reveal much either. I use the intel driver, this is a core i5 laptop (arrandale).
Any one experiencing the same, or with any clue about what could be causing this / how can I solve it?
Thanks
jorges

I'll answer myself in case it is useful for someone else. The freezes I experienced were due to some power saving options passed to the kernel taken from a phoronix article:
i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1
Removing them resolved the issue.

Any thoughts on the elder scrolls 'emporer of cyrodil' trophy?

I think this looks like the toughest trophy I have ever seen on playstation. Becoming emporer means being the best player in a (one server europe wide) campaign of a very popular game.I've read the elder scrolls forum thoughts, some seem to praise it saying trophies should have challenge, congratulations to people who do manage it I guess, but I know that I never will, and therefore will never get the platinum trophy either.Is it too tough, or do people enjoy trophies like these?

It certainly puts the platinum trophy out of my reach. I'm terrible at online trophies lol, so many games where I need 1 or 2 trophies for play but they're multiplayer ones. Still, I'm loving this game. It kinda makes me sad that there's so much negativity around it.

X200s - problems switching from mains power to battery - temporary freeze

Hi All,
Noticing a problem with a brand new x200s downgraded to Windows XP from Windows 7 (although never operated with Windows 7) where there is a temporary freeze when either connecting to mains power, or disconnecting from mains power. While it is not a proper freeze, as I can ALT+TAB between applications, I cannot actually do anything (close AP's, write emails etc). This lasts for up to 3 or 4 minutes, and then everything recovers - recovery happens to the extent that anything done during the freeze suddenly happens, like pressing the ThinkVantage Button, or right-clicking on a taskbar item etc.
I wonder if this is something to do with the Lenovo power management system - anyone got any ideas please?
Many thanks

Hi,
make sure, that you are using the latest version of Power Manger , power mangement driver . These two parts are basically responsible (when they are installed) for the power configuration.
Please let me know, what is the version of Power manager and power management dirver, that you are using.
Also based on you description, when all is working, when pressing ATL+TAB, then try to open Task manager with CTRL+Shift+ESC and check, what is taking the CPU and memory comsumption.
Once this will not show you anything, go to Windows Event log, maybe there you can find some hint.
Just to make sure, that I understand this corectly: You see this kind of behaviour, when you unplug or plug in the sytsem into AC ?
Cheers

Here's a couple things to try:
Clear Safari History - Pull down History from the menu bar, select Clear History.
Clear Safari Cache: Safari -> Empty Cache
(You can also Reset Safari: Safari -> Reset Safari (this will remove everything and reset)
One other thing that can cause some strange behavior are custom icons, although I haven't heard it causing this particular problem... Could be worth a try, can't hurt.
Quit Safari, Open finder, go to your home directory > Library -> Safari ->Icons ... Drag the Icons folder to the trash. Re start Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated. You will loose all the custom Icons for sites visited, but they will be replaced the next time you hit those sites.

Since I installed IOS 8.0.2 (was ok on IOS7),on my iPad 4 "photos" don't scroll properly, it freezes and staggers, it's really slow to scroll to the bottom of the page (in Album, Events From My IMac) it's very annoying!

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

I got this today about my preorder for Elder Scrolls Online Imperial Edition for Xbox One and I'm a little confused since I thought it was coming out in June. I knew it wasn't April 4th like the order page says, but this also seems a little off. Can anyone help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Awingbass2,
Customers with current pre-orders for the console versions of The Elder Scrolls Online may have received this email recently because we had the release date listed incorrectly on BestBuy.com. We had previously listed the release date for all versions as 4/4/14, however the console versions will not be released on that day, only the PC versions will. I believe the console versions will release in June, but I don’t think an exact date has been announced. Because of that, the release date is being changed to “Release Date Not Yet Announced” which puts a placeholder date in. Once we have an official date, we will update it again which should send you another notification email.
I hope this helps, but please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
