    Am I the only dissappointed by the red wave thingy for clues which isn't as subtle as the cues in the first one?

    Game looks and sounds amazing ! City itself seems more ... real I guess as well :)

    I can't wait to have a real computer to play that !

    Actually since android code is more open, people have coded some softwares to decrypt, from any device which can run java 7 or 8, the encrypted backups. (this one looks legit enough and normally do the trick. I think it worked for a friend of mine).

    It requires some command line basics, but hey, better than nothing. After that you get an archive file of te backup where you retrieve basically anything you want yo get it to another phone.

    @blackdog

    It's their fault because if the encryption is different than everybody else's they should allow users to decrypt them from the computer with their password. I also said that because Apple is very well known to intentionally not do anything like the others to close compatibility with anything out of their ecosystem.

    I may be a bit harsh with them, but even when there are law which everyone but them follows they don't do it and continue to do it as they always do: differently. To me if you plainly disregards the compatibility with the rest of the world, you have to be responsible for it. If they don't want to be responsible for it, they should at least be more transparent about their code, so that other people can code it instead of Apple.

    It's like NVIDIA's policy on not publishing its source code on some functionalities, making AMD look like the bad guy because amd drivers weren't coded for that, and they had to reverse engineer the whole thing to update their driver. The blame wasn't on AMD,they did what they could with someone who purposely made something different with no intention to share just to screw the competition over.

    Anyway, I don't want to be a jerk or whatever, but I just dislike Apple's sneaky policy to screw other brand over, it's childish and should be punished severely.

    That's exactly what my friend ended up doing, but that isn't a real solution to your problem though. Try to fall in love with your Samsung S5 I guess

    @Sprony I asked him. What he did was using Samsung kies to restore his iPhone backup, but it didn't work with his encrypted back up. He had to have an encrypted one for it to work.

    Sorry that I can't help more ! You should blame Apple for it, maybe if many people do so, they'll develop a piece of software to allow people doing something with something else than with another of their products.

    Okay then I think I know someone who had that specific issue a while back. It's sad that Apple product and Android ones kinda usually don't get along on those aspects..

    I'll ask that person and I'll get back to you if I get a solution :)

    I've got an encrypted back up, for which I have the password, but not the phone. Without the phone, I can't unlock my contacts. Is there a workaround? I tried hooking up another Iphone but no luck.

    My phone is gone for 2 weeks for repairs and apparently my contacts weren't on my SIM and I encrypted the back up I made. Temp phone is basically useless without my contacts.

    Is your temp phone an iPhone as well ?

Probably worth opening the official maps, then starting a shell :P We also support different gfx specs for the editor, can try lowering them in the settings panel. I don't think the editor is that demanding, but then I do have a pretty powerful pc at home and work. I have noticed the UT editor takes longer than other projects to load, but not in a way that was ever a deal breaker for me.

    Make sure to turn of auto navmesh updating, this can be frustrating, and I also noticed having blueprints tool open is actually really demanding, so closing tools your not using will help.

    Thanks for the tips!

    By the way since you're from epic (if I'm not mistaken ), I want to point out to you that the example map is really a nice touch. It's a fast and easy way to see all the tools needed, how they are implemented, and to have references for the scale. Much appreciated !

    I think you could smooth lighting a bit to have less contrast to make the visibility a bit better

    I sympathize my laptop also has trouble running it..

    Interestingly enough the 4.11 engine works fine while the UT4 editor lags so much. Maybe that could be a way for you to start?

    I think they need lots of data to make sure the fine tuning is successful, so putting it into Active directly after the major/end of the operation would make sense. A few months of MM and league play should make it viable for tournament play.

    It isn't a coincidence they made Nuke the map for the all star game before the finals. I mean, every chance they got to test it they'll probably take it

    Is it already competitive ready? They will try to patch it before putting it in majors I think :)

Virtus Pro are probably not strong enough to take on Lumi right now and I don't think the Americans will progress to the final.

    Luminosity for the win, it would be nice to have non-European winners for a change :)

    Currently searching which studio could be open to help with a school project with my school. Goal would be to develop something, from the idea, to experiments, to business plan, to prototypes and beyond. Like a serious thing. Kinda struck in out for now. Currently Ubisoft seems to be the best candidate since they know my school and are conducting similar projects, but for now, the idea I have can be both garbage or a gold mine, trying to figure out that these days.( this all takes part in a whole life crisis turmoil. I have came to a step where I have to choose what to do with my life and man it's hard. All that explains why I'm particularly unsuccessful for now)

    Would anyone know studios that would be willing to conduct a shared project with master students, even if it is not necessarily a money maker at all? Or am I being crazy anyone would support that?

My town of 32000 people received 1200 refugees in the last couple months, most of which i assume are muslims. I would think that's about comparable to what similar sized towns in the western federal states had like ten years ago after decades of slow but steady immigration from these parts of the world. That's quite a drastic change of the demographic make-up in such a short time with the projection for the end of the year being in the 3000 range, almost 10% of the population then. I don't know what to tell people who don't see this as a troubling outlook. What's worse is there literally is no work here for these people even if they were allowed and qualified to work. Truth be told i don't see Merkel's plan of "Wir schaffen das" to work in any way, shape or form.

    That's basically why this should be seen only as a temporary solution. A few could stay, but the vast majority of migrants should return there when it will be safer, so in less than 5-10 years if the right things are done.
