I know I bought a new laptop in June 2014, and the way my brain works is that a PC will only last 3 years, so it makes sense that I would have bought a 3 year subscription to LiveSafe. I tried to log into my Mcafee online account, and could only get in with a very old email account credentials, with a service that expired in 2013. I do vaguely remember seeing something recently that said my subscription had expired for Mcafee, and thought I will get around to it when I returned from a business trip (which was today).
Is there a problem with Mcafee, like in a recent update or is this something else? I remember years ago there was a problem with an update that stopped computers from accessing the internet. if it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive." It says "your computer is secure" "vulnerability scanner has finished scan" "operating system updates 0" "application updates 2" and then in front of this there is another message that says "Web browser" "Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly. If I let the computer sit for a bit it will make a make a noise like there is a message and Mcafee will appear opened displaying the results of a vulnerability scanner. Would this make Mcafee not open, or excel be unable to open?
To me it seems like the computer is not talking to the internet.
Windows has an update that is stuck at a 0% download. Microsoft Office products like excel will not open. Microsoft Edge will open but I cannot go to any webpage, it just spins and spins. It suddenly became less and less responsive and so I shut it down and then turned it back on.
I can only hope some modder might take these into account somehow, or maybe there will be an update to the game, but if you look at console port history, even the illustrious dark souls is afraid to make a new UI for their PC audience, though I'm not sure why, aren't the games developed and tested on PC in the first place? PC players are usually the ones who play long after the game was released.I have a less than 1 year old HP Pavillion laptop with Windows 10 and Mcafee Livesafe. Tooltips! cursors don't have to stay on the menu items, they can browse the UI too! Mousing over things can give tons of data in a tooltip, allowing you to put the tutorial in the menus! certain words, items, and stats can be given mouseover text, so that any confused player can easily learn WTF that thing means/is/does Going from aiming to dragging an item to our equipment, pressing escape and aiming again is normal for us. believe it or not, PC users are great at suddenly using what their hands are on for a completely new system! don't be afraid to let a cursor pop up whenever a menu does. find the best way for the game to be played, and use that as default. having two commonly used keys do the same thing is super confusing for new players.
always make the game reflect current, or default bindings in tutorials.ĭouble controls by default. a tutorial is near useless when it tells you to press the x or y button when the bindings are different. being able to go into your bag and move your pickaxe to the right hand, and equip your machete to the left should be basic. this is where PC shines, and not taking advantage of drag and drop inventory UI is a terrible waste. as far as I know, there is no way to shuffle equipment around. you see that number bar up top on the keyboard? it's the standard place to put weapons/items in games.Įquipment UI. we only have two hands, and looking around is super important when looting in a dangerous place.Įnter/interact- selecting things in the menu should be the same as interacting with things if it isn't clicking. it's essentially a cardinal sin to have an action game use all three. don't get me wrong, I like pressing enter, but PC basically has a 3 part control scheme: left keyboard, right keyboard, and mouse. dodging is good, and blocking feels like it works.
Right/left/middle click for all fighting. but deciding to make it be controlled by button and more buttons just doesn't fly for a group used to dragging and dropping with the dexterity of actual hands.Ĭhanging weapons in each hand is super important and good, and in my opinion done well enough
directly porting a menu system that uses buttons and joysticks, to a two handed menu system that uses buttons and a mouse can be hard, we understand. PC's are essentially glorified menu browsers. bad ports are not because of bad defaults, but reliance on the layout/cursorless controls console controllers have. Let's clear it up, It's mostly because of the lack of binds, not the defaults.
