Red x by easy difficulty in Black Ops 2 Zombies
Posted On: May 28, 2023
Does anyone know why there is a red "x" by easy when you change the difficulty to easy on zombies?
Question from user Gmoneyrocks at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
The red 'X' indicates that the rounds will not count towards the zombies leaderboards. .

Is there a way to prevent Nook from auto selling a spot in Animal Crossing?
Posted On: May 28, 2023
My SO has that problem, but I never encountered it myself.
It seems that Nook, when someone moves out, will auto fill the spot left with a random villager, and that in usually 2-3 days, sometimes even the day straight after the villager has left.
That makes her mad because she wants to find the perfect villager, but gets stuck with a random villager before she could do a good amount of mystery islands to find it.
So is there a way to tell Nook to not auto sell the spot? (Or is there something that she does that it 'auto sells' . . . [

Posted On: May 26, 2023
I started a game of Crusader Kings 3 as a count of Fika. I diverged the culture from Sao in 937 and have been busy spreading it since. However, I'm up to 42 counties converted with no achievement still.
Is there some way to check progress or determine what I'm missing?

I've tried with a Pilot Level 30 and a NASCAR car, but he can't win. .

Is Hogwarts Legacy on Hard Difficulty really that difficult?

In Farmville, Can I make friends with people who arent my social media friends?
Posted On: May 25, 2023
I want friends! Friends seem awesome! I have a couple through people I know on Facebook, but not a lot of people I know are playing this game. Can I make friends any other way than connecting my social media accounts and using those people?

Trying to Play an Old Game, will Installing Old Direct X Affect Anything?
Posted On: May 25, 2023
I'm trying to play an old Windows 98 game on Windows 7.
The game is asking me to install DirectX 6.
If I choose to install them will this affect my system? (In other words will this stop newer games from being playable, stop flash websites from working, interfere with newer programs, etc.?).
Question from user user2348797 at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
It should not affect your computer in any bad way, all DirectX versions work together with each other, older version would not overwrite a newer version, same as newer ve . . . [

Can I install an old DirectX version without affecting the latest version?
Posted On: May 25, 2023
I'm attempting to run RetroArch for an old game , but it requires DirectX 9.0c.
Will installing DirectX 9.0c overwrite or delete the current version I have installed (v12)? If so, can I subsequently remove DirectX 9.0c if I have to run newer games?
Question from user Dennis at gaming.stackexchange.com.

Installing DirectX 9 won't affect games that require DirectX 10 or newer, so you can install it without any worries and won't need to uninstall it either.

How can I install Diablo 3 if I use FileVault?
Posted On: May 24, 2023
The official FAQ says that FileVault and FileVault2 are incompatible with Diablo 3. How can I install Diablo 3 on my Mac if my harddrive uses FileVault?
Question from user thedagit at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Blizzard's archive format is incompatible with FileVault due to its low level nature. To get around this problem, you need to move the installer to a partition that does not use FileVault. I would also recommend installing it to a partition that does not use FileVault as well, in case later game updates use the MPQ ar . . . [

How do I forcefully duplicate a nether portal in Minecraft?
Posted On: May 23, 2023
I've seen nether portals being duplicated due to linking problems before, but I can't seem to replicate that on purpose. I'm trying to create a sort of manual obsidian farm that doesn't involve withers and doesn't use the End. Alternate methods of obsidian farms are welcome, as long as they don't require me running 128 blocks in the overworld.
Question from user Korogue at gaming.stackexchange.com.
