    Another thing to try would be to see if it exists in another WebKit/Blink-based browser. Since I don’t get it in Chrome, it could very well be an uncaught exception or some other bug in Edge

    Thanks. It happened at least once going back some time ago now. Not easy to pin down, so a different browser is a good idea. πŸ™‚

    Reported the diffed files as follows, the mage.chr is also different, so could have installed a character mod back then.

    Have you tried Firefox? It uses a different rendering engine than Safari/Edge/Chrome etc so it may help isolate the problem. I haven’t had the issues myself with Chrome but it could be something related to how other software is interacting with the browser

  • DeVaultSetter replied to the topic ERR_CACHE_MISS in the forum Forum 1 year ago

    Another odd related issue, an incredible disappearing tab.
    A notable side-effect is the exception is not posted to any subcategory of Windows Events Logs, and the tab URL will not not show up in browser History. Used ChromeCacheView to search for any unposted text in the forum page, nothing.

    Had a beautifully working version of BG1 installed on a 500GB drive in the old kaput W7/W8 machine before said 500GB drive was transferred to this rig, (and still spins around very well).
    Unfortunately, the drive names had changed in the original move, and no fiddling of the ini files changed it. Another side effect of continuing on in a game…[Read more]

    I remember getting a card for free game time, I think it was for three months, with a computer of mine twenty years ago for the second game. Never used it for some reason, even though I did try WoW (wasn’t my cup of tea: too much grinding). I’m really surprised that they’re both still online. They definitely don’t do a whole lot of advertising so…[Read more]

    Six Minutes to Midnight worked as a thriller – 6 or 7 out of 10 perhaps, the critics were obviously put off by extrapolation of the real life events. If they expected more from the film, what?

    There are confirmed issues of issues with adding and launching shortcuts in Windows 11… Stay tuned!

    I really should watch Flash Gordon again. It’s a lot of fun!

    Three of them and what I did was use the daisy-chaining feature of DisplayPort to clean up the mess of cables. Nice and tidy! πŸ™‚

    Yep, that’s the one!

  • DeVaultSetter replied to the topic Hardware Relics in the forum Discussion 1 year ago

    Okay, so you did have four monitors hooked up to the old desktop rig, do they all have dvi/hdmi/displayport connectors?
    Sounds like the new monitor is the one and same in use, right? (Still very much in antique DVI land here, and HDMI still for the televisions. πŸ˜› )

    Huh, looks like EverQuest is still online. Don’t know why I thought of it last night as I never did play it

    The biggest change to Gramps on *nix has to do with the paths. For user files, you’ll find them in ~/.gramps. Additionally, you can change the database type in settings (don’t know if it’s the same in Windows).

    Everything else, as near as I can tell, should be the same as on Windows other than a few UI differences to account for differences in…[Read more]
