I was unable to enable virtualization on my Windows 10 VM on a Windows 10 host. I did have virtualization enabled in
the BIOS, but that didn't seem to help. When I check the box to enable this feature, Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or
AMD-V/RVI, I would get an error.
I want this feature enabled to run Docker in my VM.
I know my computer is more than capable of running a VM with virtulization. I found several
powershell commands out there, and running them did not help. I did some digging and found that certain windows features need to be disabled for virtulization to work in a VM.
I resolved this problem by doing this:
Open Turn Windows features on or off.
Turn off the following features:
Hyper-V
Virtual Machine Platform
Windows Hypervisor Platform
Windows Sandbox
Windows Subsystem for Linux
Save and restart the computer.
Open VMWare Player
Select the VM and edit the VM settings
Enable Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI
Once the virtual machine is up and running, install Docker. This will require installing WSL2 in the VM. If
everything is done right, Docker should start successfully.
This is a fix for the middle mouse button not working when giving orders in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. I am
using the Steam version for this, but I would imagine this fix will work on any PC version.
1. Navigate to the following location:
E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\Settings
2. Open the following file in a text editor: ctrl_set_def.xml
3. Change the following line:
<button id="hud_select" binding="2" device="mouse" group="misc"/>
I put off playing Doom (2016) for many years because I wanted to have a machine powerful enough to play it. After
finishing Gun yesterday, which was a thoroughly mediocre shooter, I was in the mood for something good. Considering
that I am now fortunate enough to own a fantastic computer, I decided now is the time.
To this day, I avoided all media related to this game. After watching the gameplay reveal video many years ago, I
decided this game needs to be experienced without any spoilers.
I am glad I did this. In my opinion, this game probably has the best introduction of any game, ever.
Following this excellent opening, you get to step out of the confined location you find yourself in and into the open
world, and seeing the fantastic world in front of you is truly breathtaking.
It reminded me of the time I played Fallout 3 for the first time, and I stepped out of the vault.
The art design of this game is totally something else. I will review this game once I am done playing it. I get the
feeling I am in for a real treat.
I first played this game in 2009, and I never ended up finishing it. I recently picked up the GOG version and I beat
the game. The game is fun for the most part, but there are aspects that really set it back.
The story is set in late 19th century America, specifically in the Old West, and involves finding the lost city of
Quivira, where this is lot of gold to be mined.
Its somewhat of an open world game, and the player gets to backtrack between cities. There are quite a few side
missions as well, and completing these missions reward the player with cash, which can be used to buy weapons and
upgrades. I had a very tough time in certain missions and I think its because I didn't do any of the side missions.
I went straight for the main missions. I think this was a mistake. Not having weapon upgrades make the game a lot
more difficult even on Normal difficulty.
The game has a thoroughly budget feel to it. It is a poor man's Red Dead Redemption.
The save system is confusing. It appears that you can save the game at any point, but when you load the game (and you
have to quit the current game to do so), it begins at the start of the mission. There is no auto checkpoint system
to go along with the manual save system. There were times when I forgot to manually save the game, and I lost
progress. Very annoying. I would much rather have a manual save system, and a quick save system, but modern games
have taught me to expect a checkpoint system, which I loathe.
The story is well told, and the voice acting is quite good. I remember thinking this when I was playing the game, and
I later learned that the voice actors included some Hollywood talent, not that having Hollywood actors voice lines
in a video game necessarily makes the gameplay any better.
Visually, the game looks alright. There is no support for widescreen resolutions. I played the game at 1600x1200. I
have a computer that is dedicated to playing older games, and on a 1080p monitor, the game is very playable. I would
not play this game on my ultrawide monitor because it would not scale very well, and it would end up looking
awful.
I had to reduce the mouse movement speed all the way to 0 within the game, because my Razer DeathAdder's sensor is
perhaps way too sensitive for this game. I was having issues with camera control on default settings. The game is a
console port, and it shows. The interface, controls are all made with a console in mind. I feel for those that
bought this game at full price on the PC.
By far the worst aspect of this game are the boss battles. They are horrible. It feels as if the enemies cheat, and
have wall hacks the way can shoot you when you peak from behind the cover for a second. This gets really annoying
towards the end. I had to find a way to cheese my way through because it was damn near impossible to play fair and
square.
Its possible that the reason I had this problem because I did not play any of the side missions, however, that means
there is a problem with scaling the difficulty of the boss battles.
If you can find the game for less than $2, and you are curious to check out this forgotten game, then go for it. Any
price more than that is not worth it, in my opinion.
+ Voice acting
+ Visuals in certain locations
+ Gun play in general
- Boss battles
- General budget feel of the game
- Weird save system
