Hi there! I've enjoyed the Original Artemis 1 at various Cons, & even a couple of LAN parties, but as we're having trouble finding support for it (as well as to support the creator in updated software), my Crew have all decided to purchase Artemis Cosmos on Steam. At $7, it wasn't a hard decision: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2467840/Artemis_Cosmos/

That said, while we had fun playing it at Cons, when we did our own LAN parties we were mostly derping around with missions that seemed like unfinished mods in that we could never get the stories to advance. From our experience at Cons, we know that there are whole campaigns, & even tutorial missions that used to exist.

So my question is, for a Crew looking to get into Artemis Cosmos, what scripted pre-made missions would you all suggest? We're doing another LAN party this weekend, & so I'd love any advice on any mods, campaigns, etc as this is the first time we'll be doing Cosmos. Thanks in advance!

I have a Motorola 5G Stylus with moisture trapped in the camera. I did the old put it in an instant rice box overnight in hopes that it would help suck the moisture out, but it's still in there. Plus the bloody thing is now running slower so I'm getting more worried. Pics are of the above. Unfortunately now I also have a chunk of rice stuck in the large stylus hole so I cannot get the stylus to re-seat. Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome as the foggy photos were annoying, but the device running slower is actually preventing me from getting things done. It's a 2024 Model XT2419-2 if that matters?

Extra pieces in my BattleTeech Aces: Scouring Sands set. What do they go to? Which mech? All terrain is cardboard but maybe this goes to terrain? https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/battletech-aces-scouring-sands

Does anyone have any idea what these are supposed to be? They kind of look like the targeting baffles of the "hero" Flea in the BattleTech videogame: https://battletech.fandom.com/wiki/Flea_FLE-15 However I don't see where they would go on any of the mechs in the box (which didn't contain a flea anyways)

Is anyone else having constant disconnection issues from the game? Throughout yesterday & today, I'm able to spend no more than 10 min in the game before getting this 4 : 7 : 0 Error Code. It happens in the Atom Shop, on the SCORE Board, after I've loaded into a game, etc. I've already done the usual things for connectivity issues, but nothing has worked. I'm on PC through Steam. I'm hoping someone has a fix for me.

Other programs (such as Reddit which I'm posting on right now), & even other games are connecting to the internet just fine. I've restarted both my computer & my router repeatedly. I've tried force updates, file verification, & re-installation even. I've tried switching characters (which solved it for a friend of mine), & switched between windowed & bordered screen modes. I went to Betheseda.net, where I was still logged in & linked, & re-linked it to my Steam just in case. If there's a way to do it on the steam end, I'd love to do that too but can anyone tell me how?

I don't use any mods on Fallout 76, but I do use Vortex Mod Manager for Skyrim & Fallout 4 as well as a couple of other games. I'm thinking about uninstalling it since I haven't played those in a while, & I hear they're trying to crack down on cheaters & modders.

I've got 3000 hours in this game, & while there have been connectivity issues before, every-time I check the server status everything is supposedly great. I can do anything else on my internet connection, including playing other live internet games, but I cannot get Fo76 to run more than 10 min.

So what other fixes / solutions / ideas does the community have as this is incredibly frustrating?

Remember those old Mechwarrior VR pods that they used to have at conventions & high-end arcades? With the multi-screens, toggle button switches, & multi-joystick controllers? Well not only is that program available as freeware now, but the successor to it is free to play this weekend: https://store.steampowered.com/app/784080/MechWarrior_5_Mercenaries/ Of course it can be played with the standard PS2 controller for PC, but for the price of combining dual monitors, a racing controller, & a flight simulator joystick, you can replicate most of the BattlePod experience for either Co-Op or PvP experience! Now with additional melee weapons too!
