Denuvo DRM ref for F1 2016 doesn't talk about DRM at all

2
Anonymous (talkcontribs)

The DRM reference you recently added to F1 2016 doesn't actually say anything about the DRM. Instead, this is all it says when I follow the link:

DEAR 'F1™ 2016' PLAYER,
If you’ve reached this page by launching 'F1 2016', the quickest way to start the game is to copy the Response code you receive from this page into the in-game message box that brought you here, and click the “Finish” button.
Here’s how to get a Response code:
From the in-game message box, click the “Copy to clipboard” button. Paste this code into the textbox below and click the “Request code” button. When the Response code appears, click “Copy to clipboard”. Return to the in-game message box and click “Paste from clipboard”. Click the “Finish” button to launch the game.

Oh right, Denuvo isn't actually identified on the support pages for some reason. I'll expand the reference to be clearer.

...is doing god's work. I like how it adds CN to fixboxes that lack ref. Good job!

Humble Store needs fixing

Well spotted, I've fixed it now.

This change on their end has also affected some game IDs (e.g. Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas has changed from oceanhorn to ceanhorn-monster-of-uncharted-seas), so some store links will now be broken.

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

I see. Will check any links I'll come across to.

The pre-made VR section template has all the entries empty rather than unknown, but most pages mark the available method as true/hackable and then leave the rest marked as unknown.
Which way is correct? Editing guide says "Fill in all the fields for 3D modes, but only fill in the applicable fields for Devices." which I guess means the latter. In that case you should update the pre-made template button?

Garrett (talkcontribs)

That template feature is part of the skin, so you'd have to ask Nicereddy or someone else with access to that.

I set this up back when using Steam HTTPS resulted in broken pages (some buttons didn't work). They have resolved that since then. Thanks for the reminder, I've removed that filter now.

Can't upload new covers on featured articles

I was trying to upload a new cover for Fallout 4 but the wiki won't let me due to some protection thingies.

Garrett (talkcontribs)

Home has cascading protection set, so anything it uses is treated as protected. In the meantime you can get myself or someone else to update affected images.

EDIT: Nvm, that didn't come off right.

Garrett (talkcontribs)

This is related to the age-old debate; since none of the proposed solutions have been implemented I have been opting for the proper Steam ID as the stated DRM type (which is still mostly true).

Mirh (talkcontribs)

You have to write what is true, not what is mostly true.
And the debate didn't have "solutions" because original questioners were enduring in a kind of circular argumentation.

Indeed, if a game doesn't require the client, it's DRM-free (but you should test it, not guess)

[EDIT: Removing content due to length; check history if interested.]

Garrett (talkcontribs)

I see I have greatly underestimated this issue's significance to other editors. I will cease making such changes.

The previous forum discussion was mostly about the status of Steam as DRM in general.

EDIT: I have revived discussion in the form of a new topic specifically about implementations for the availability row.

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

I think the decision might have been a little premature - apparently, MAS is causing problems right now (see here) and the sales are only temporarily suspended, until a solution is found.

Garrbot added duplicate sys req header

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

Garrbot's recent edits to Diver Down and Dead Synchronicity: The Longest Night (both of which I've made correcting edits on), which were attempting to add missing sys req tables, also added in a duplicate sys req header. Based on what I'm seeing, Garrbot doesn't currently check to see if it needs to add a sys req header when it notices missing system requirement table(s).

Garrett (talkcontribs)

Thanks for catching that, I was filtering based on the existence of the template ({{System requirements) rather than the heading (==System requirements==).
