Submission + - Division 2 multiplayer and single-player campaign broken by latest update 3

Andy Smith writes: Gamers enjoying the single-player campaign in The Division 2 have been bitten by a bug in the latest update that spawned a range of server connection issues. While you might expect this to affect only multiplayer games, The Division 2 controversially requires a continuous server connection for the single-player campaign to work. Since Tuesday, campaign players have reported being kicked out of the game and losing their items, skills, and mission progress. Not surprisingly, developer Massive has been inundated with complaints . The company said: "We are aware of the connectivity issues some players are experiencing. We are investigating and working on a solution."

Comment Drevo Calibur (Score 1) 363

That new Razer one looks nice, apart from being wired. Wireless was one of my must-have features, so after much research I went with the Drevo Calibur and I've been very happy with it. I've had it for about 9 months.

What I _don't_ like about it is the small return key (it's like a shift key, one row instead of two) and the wireless battery life isn't great, it can only go about a day without charging. As much as I wanted wireless, I just leave the USB cable plugged in now lol.

What _some_ people might not like is that you don't get function keys, you have to press the function button and then a numeric key, for example FN+3 for F3. I totally expected this to be a pain in the ass but honestly it has never bothered me.

I too wanted a non-Windows keyboard but a good wireless non-Windows mechanical keyboard basically doesn't exist. The compromise I made was accepting a Windows keyboard that ticked all the other boxes. I intended to buy replacement key caps, but I've never got round to it.

The litmus test is, if this keyboard broke, would I buy the same one again? Yes I think so.

Comment Reliability (lack of) (Score 2) 39

We use our Chromecast a lot (using it right now) but ooh boy is it unreliable! You can start a show, and 2 minutes later the app has lost the Chromecast so you can't pause or rewind etc. Then a few minutes later it's there again. Then it's not there but "local device" is, and sometimes you can connect to that, sometimes you can't. It's really frustrating.

Comment Just bought one! (Score 2) 98

This is the tiniest bit annoying because Iâ(TM)ve only just bought a Switch a few months ago. At the time every forecast was saying at least 2020 before the next iteration. But do I mind? No, not really. The entertainment value Iâ(TM)ve had from the Switch has been superb, and Iâ(TM)ll probably buy the new one as soon as it comes out.

Comment Re:iPhone 6S+ (Score 1) 50

It adds to the growing number of reasons why I'm unlikely to ever buy a new iPhone again. I do like the 6S+ and when this one dies I'll probably buy another one, if they're still available. But my phone use has dropped dramatically since I stopped using social media, and my mobile gaming moved to the Switch. So a top-of-the-range $1000 phone doesn't make sense for me anymore.

I'll definitely be staying with Apple though. I don't like Android. I'm no fan of Apple the company, but I do like their hardware and software.

Comment My loss of trust in law enforcement (Score 5, Informative) 476

I got through 43 years without ever being in trouble with the police. Then I got on the wrong side of one police officer, and next time I encountered him he walked over to me and arrested me. Him and a colleague gave written statements that Iâ(TM)d assaulted them. Fortunately there was a recording of my arrest and the prosecution was dropped.

Itâ(TM)s hard to go through an experience like that, and still take this story at face value. I just donâ(TM)t trust law enforcement anymore.
