Okay so here’s the deal

We’re experiencing some technical issues with Don’t Starve Together on Steam

The aforementioned technical issues are:

When opening the game in a full sized window but not fullscreened, it registers the mouse location on the window in the right place, but the entire game window glitches or something and looks like this:

So I can see the screen in the corner, but the mouse location is in the place where it’s supposed to be. This makes the game pretty much unplayable.

We’ve tried: rebooting the game. Rebooting Steam. Rebooting the computer. Editing the graphics settings in-game. We’ve also tried editing the graphics settings in the settings.ini thing. It sort of worked once and we kept trying to tweak it but it went back to how it was before and won’t change anymore.

This isn’t a problem with any other game I’ve tried. I think the files might be corrupted or something. I’m on a MacBook Pro.

I’ve also been having a few other issues with Steam lately so I also wonder if it’s related to that (glitchy in-app voice chat, etc).

Has anyone experienced this before/does anyone know how to help?

SO SORRY!

I've been MIA for what feels like forever, but let me tell you why.

I take morning medication for my thyroid and my heart. My bed is positioned RIGHT next to my desk, that way I can just sit up, pop open my medicine container, chug down some water, and then go back to sleep for the hour until I'm able to eat. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned one morning. I'd gotten out of bed and taken my medicine and then, out of the blue, my hand just loses its grip on my glass of water. This has never happened to me before (it was a result of my NMO - I've been feeling pretty weak lately, especially my legs). I wasn't all that tired, I wasn't readjusting the glass, I hadn't bumped into anything... I wasn't moving at all! My grip just loosened and I hadn't even realized it down it until everything was wet - INCLUDING MY LAPTOP!

I immediately shut my laptop off, ran to the bathroom to grab a towel and dried off the keyboard (which is where all the water went), dried the laptop off with my hair dryer, took out the battery, and then kept my laptop upside down for a full 24 hours. I was petrified the next day when turning it on. My parents and the computer repair guy we'd spoken to were all encouraged it would be fine since I took such quick action, but I was absolutely terrified it was going to be ruined. It took me 7 times to turn on my laptop. Once I plugged it in it booted up, then shut down again, then I was finally able to get it to stay on. All my files were still good. My keyboard on the other hand was another matter, which makes sense since it got most of the water. The keyboard worked, but none of the keys were what they should be, so there was no way for me to type unless I did it with the on-screen keyboard and I didn't want to pick through each key separately, so I just made a plan to take the laptop in and get the keyboard repaired.

Before I did that, I wanted to get an external hard drive just in case something happened when the repairman was working on it. I'd had another repairman completely DESTROY my hard drive when he was supposed to be taking it out for me so I could use it on another laptop, so I wasn't going to take any chances this time. We went to Walmart a few days later and got it and just as I was plugging it in to transfer everything, I automatically tried to rename it (I like to do that with my drives) before I remembered my keyboard wasn't working. Except it was. I opened up Microsoft Word and was amazed to find that my keyboard had fixed itself. I guess it just needed more time to dry. Since it was fixed, I didn't need to use the hard drive (I'm going to use it to store my videos on).

That was only one problem, however. I have a huge eBook library and I've been trying to organize it with the Calibre app. I wanted to be able to find a specific genre (like cozy mystery, thriller, etc.,) without having to look through every single one. Once I had all my books in Calibre I decided just to export a list of everything, so that it would take up less space. So, I did that and then got rid of Calibre. Somehow, and I honestly don't know how, my folder of 'books to read' was gone. I searched everywhere on my laptop for it until I realized that the entire folder had gotten moved to Calibre and that Calibre had deleted it when it uninstalled. I keep my books separated by series, title, etc., and no other folder was in there aside from the 'books to read'. I had my monthly books; books for October/Halloween; series I wanted to re-read/read... it was all just gone. I was able to pull most of it off my Kindle Paperwhite, but one series I couldn't get back.

If that wasn't enough, I was without Internet connection for the longest time. My parents both had it, and I had it on my phone, but my laptop just wasn't connecting. I'd tried turning it off and back on at least three times, which always works, but this time it didn't. Finally, after the last time, I decided to check for any problems and my laptop immediately found and fixed it and it was restored late last night.

(This is unedited. I've been dealing with so much inflammation lately that I don't have the energy (physical or emotional) to write a post and then edit it. Sorry for any mistakes, which I'm sure there are).

HELP!!!

I want to play dragon age inquisition so bad on my ps4 but when I try to login, I can't even get to the loading screen before it says my addons are corrupted and kicks me out. I have the original version on disk and the dlc are under the game of the year addition on psn so idk if that's the issue, but I've played the dlc no issues in the past. I tried deleting and redownloading everything and I booted the playstation in safe mode and rebuilt the database, which works for a few minutes then kicks me out again.

Has anyone encountered this before? I really want to do another playthrough before da4 comes out.

Tesla bills customer $21000 for driving through the rain while they're still in warranty

I'm two seconds away from nuking my file system altogether and reinstalling Kubuntu, or just throwing in the towel and going back to Windows with my tail between my legs.

Can't get past the login screen. Put in password, everything freezes. Try logging in through recovery mode, get past login screen but now I get a black screen and a mouse cursor.

Systemctl says my page file didn't load but I can't tell if I should trust that because I'm only able to access my console through recovery mode. Also I've officially run out of spoons to deal with this.

Windows never did this shit to me. I've been enjoying Linux, but when it fails, IT FAILS.

Hello!! Tried purchasing one of your pins but I kept getting this message

"No shipping options for this location, package weight and total."

I will try again another time but I wanted to see if you knew anything about it

Hi! Thanks so much for letting me know, I'm trying to figure it all out still :(

At the moment, I have standard letter / express letter and the same (pretty much) for international enabled, there's a chance that AusPost doesn't deliver to your country. You can search that up I believe 🩷 I can also try "package" instead of "letter" but it will be more expensive.

I'll also try fiddling with the dimensions and weight settings, I'll reblog this post when I try updates if you want to try again + maybe update me if really appreciate it :) I'm sorry for the trouble!
