Given how targeted the attacks were at certain people, does this imply a bunch of people walking around with explosives in their pagers, where they weren’t set off because they weren’t one of the targets?

Oh I hadn’t realised it had! I’ll have to make sure I update before I play again.
The release notes seem to cover lots of specific crashes, but I’d guess my issue is more generally that if it’s trying to shoe too much stuff on the screen (like a crowded city) then it crashes. I have turned the graphics settings right down and it happens less, but still happens at least once each time I play. I’m keen to check out that patch and see if it helps. Thanks for letting me know about it!
Well, every time assets get split between their 3 kids, you reduce the assets accumulated in one couple.
Two issues here: Issue one, BG3 itself crashes all the time. This most likely isn’t linux related, because it’s been rock solid up to Act 3 and everyone across all platforms complains about all the crashing in Act 3. Solution - quick save all the time.
Issue two, sometimes Steam Remote Play will disconnect from the game. The game continues to play on the remote PC but the connection is lost, and it won’t let me reconnect (which is something Steam normally lets you do, but this might be because it’s a non-steam game).
Your info on wifi networks to prevent the connection dropping has definitely been relevant and helpful!
Wow thanks for all the info!
Another thought of mine is that wireless devices can perform poorly if they are too close to the AP. (Like less than a meter)
Huh, I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’m pretty close! I’ll try moving it a bit further away.
Mesh networks can perform poorly for applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter. (Such as steam’s remote play)
Last night it was much more stable, I didn’t have any Steam dropouts (only the BG3 crashes which seem pretty common in Act 3 after having none until then, and I’m not the only one). But I do have the option to create a separate non-mesh network from the AP if I need to. If I have further trouble I’ll give that a go.
It’s possible that some of those are related. My assumption is that there’s interference from your own devices and the neighbours. But a mesh network isn’t an ideal environment.
When I changed the channel, the whole lot came with it, hence my assumption.
I have the ISP router and two AmpliFi mesh access points to provide the wifi. The ISP router also has a wifi network, this is the 2.4Ghz one for the IoT devices.
When I try to change the channel for the access points, I don’t get the option for channel 106. I only get the option for 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161.
I also noticed that I had missed that there’s a little button in the wifi scanning app to toggle between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I noticed if I change the channel, a whole bunch of hidden networks come with it. I think this must be related to the mesh network, it’s a lot of networks though! 8 or 9 of them, two separate ones with the same network name (I presume the two access points), and the rest all marked as hidden.
In the app, what does the width of the bar represent? It says something like Wifi_Network 157 (155) and has a big flat top that seems to cover a range. Is that indicating that nearby channels can interfere with each other?
Some, at much lower strengths. Most of the graph is covered though, and the access point is using the recommended channel. It has band steering so automatically changes the channel to optimise.
Yes framework expansion card slots are just a bunch of USBC ports, but seems a waste not to get the proper expansion card that slots nicely into the laptop looking like it was built in instead of a boring regular dongle.
I checked out the app you suggested, not entirely sure what I’m doing but the app seems happy with my wifi. My network is strong, others from neighbours are all pretty weak.
Unfortunately I need 2.4Ghz wifi for a bunch of home automation things.
I’m running a Framework laptop and don’t have the LAN expansion card as it wasn’t release at the time I got my laptop. I can order one, but they also don’t sell Frameworks in my country so it’s a long freight forwarding process 🙁.
I’ve been considering a new gateway (rather than the ISP router) to see if that helps stabilise the network. Maybe that will be helpful until I can get a proper LAN connection.
Laptop is on WiFi, desktop is on ethernet.
Laptop is directly next to an access point that is connected via ethernet, though I know the network is not super stable. I often have to restart the ISP router after it drops out.
I am confused why Steam doesn’t let me reconnect though. Normally if the game is running you can open Steam and choose to connect to it. But I don’t get this option, it’s like it’s forgotten that it started the game.
In Steam it’s set to use Proton and I select the bg3.exe or whatever it’s called, not the bg3_dx11.exe. Is this using Vulcan mode?
The laptop is connected via WiFi (to an access point directly next to me), I don’t have a LAN port for it at the moment.
The desktop is connected via ethernet.
Normally Steam will let you reconnect to a game that’s already playing, but I don’t seem to have that option. It’s like it forgets it’s running.
I’ve recently made it to Act 3 in Baldur’s Gate 3, and my integrated graphics on my laptop aren’t keeping up, so now I have installed it on my desktop machine and am using Steam Remote Play (my desktop is plugged into the TV, it’s not a proper desktop setup).
Often, the Steam connection drops out and the game keeps playing on the desktop but I can’t connect back to it from the laptop.
Any suggestions on what I could do to either stop losing the connection or let me connect back to it after it drops?
Set up:
Music has this right. Don’t like spotify? Try Tidal, Qobuz, etc. They all have the same music, but slightly different models to attract different users (Spotify has free and paid tiers, Tidal does high quality, Qobuz does streaming plans as well as individual song purchases).

I think you misunderstood the comment you are replying to.

Yes, it’s the reason for the tracking. To sell more targeted ads.
If you’re up for reading some shennanigans, check out the book Mindf*ck. It’s about the Cambridge Analytica scandal, written by a whistleblower, and details election manipulation using data collected from Facebook and other public or purchased data.
How does GDPR fit in to Google Analytics and personalised ads?
I would have thought it went something like: random identifier: not linked to personal info, just a collection of browsing history for an unidentified person, not under GDPR as not personal info.
Link to account: let them request deletion (or more specifically, delinking the info from your account is what Facebook lets you do), GDPR compliant.
Both Google and Facebook run analytics software that tracks users. I presume letting people request deletion once it’s personally linked to them is probably what let’s them do it? But I don’t live in a GDPR country, so I don’t know a whole lot about it.
Oh wow, that’s quite… something.
