Fix for Tower Of Fantasy Black Screen Issue - Sound device Issue

 There are a couple of fixes for the black screen issue in ToF, here's one of them:

This was specifically for Voicemeeter, when I did not set up Voicemeeter properly for sound output. 

TL;DR: 

1. Go to your taskbar, 
2. right click Voicemeeter, 
3. and press "Shut Down Voicemeeter"

Your game should work normally now.

I theorize this is because the game is unable to properly output sound.

Should also apply to situations where your sound device is unable to properly output sound.

There is a high chance you heard about Razer Surround ( If you don't, its a good idea to check it out ). Its a piece of software available for free on Razerzone.com/surround. But if you installed and no sound was coming out, here is a fix.

Network Tuesday: ASUS DSL-N12E C1 with 5 DBi Antenna - Part 2.0

Today, we are going to go through the Asus DSL-N12E_C1 that has 5 DBi antenna instead of the 2 DBi antenna that are present in some countries due to restrictions. This modem router is an ADSL modem that also functions as the router, making this a dual function modem router ( why am I repeating that again ). This is going to be quite a short post as I cannot determine whether there is a problem with the modem or the ISP that is causing the extreme latency in tests, however, I will start by giving the specifications for the modem-router.

This Asus ADSL modem router is a very dark themed router, with beautiful design at the top, as well as hidden lights that only show its position when the modem is powered on. That's all I guess for today, without furthur benchmarks and investigations I can't get the specifications validity right for a might-be-faulty modem router.

NOTE: A third part may be necessary to identify if its a device problem or if its a true breaking point of the modem router

Lets start by continuing what we have last Tuesday. Last Tuesday we went to explain the basic specifications of the Asus DSL-N12E. This week, we will see how it fares in our real world tests.

Application Monday - Fing

This Monday we are going to discuss about Fing. Fing is a free application, designed to identify devices, and probe for services in some devices in a network. Fing can also be used to troubleshoot networks. We are going to look at how does Fing work to do some basic troubleshooting and analysing.

Software Thursday: MiniTool Partition Wizard

MiniTool Partition Wizard Launch Screen

Partitioning a drive is often made to install multiple operating systems ( or OS ) in the system, or to provide easier storage and access of data. Partitioning can be said as managing or dividing a disk, and each individual parts of storage in a disk is called a partition. Some users also partition a disk to prevent problems of fragmentation from happening too frequently on the disk that the operating system is installed, which can happen when one people deletes and add information of different sizes to the disk, coupled with the fact that Windows download updates automatically. This makes partitions useful, and we will see how does MiniTool Partition Wizard does its work even if it seems impossible for Windows Disk Manager.
