That's already a budget(ish) phone and it's two years old already, by the time SP2 even comes to android (likely another 2 years) its gonna be a potato. I'd start saving, if you can manage to save like $20-30 a month you can have a really nice phone by then
orrr get a PC and you can play SP2 at launch...
@overlord5453 only certain values work, if I remember correctly #FF makes it 100% opaque while #00 is the lowest value. Then it goes up in increments of 22 I believe until like 88
Edit: According to the resource
I was right, except after #88 there is #CC, #AA. and then #FF.
@Graingy overload ruined most of the challenges. The WW2 challenges are pretty much useless since you can juice up the props and guns to be better than the modern alternatives lol
Here's a much better list. Also get windows 11, like jamesplanes mentioned you can get it for cheap or free through only slightly sketchy methods. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nvgtcH
I've played SP with similar specs and gosh dang did it run smooth.
Edit: you'll want a case with USB-C if you're using a VR headset, that one does not have USB-C.
@OrangeConnor2 looks like ollielebanania has the fix to your issue. In response to the first question, I recommend starting with MXAO. From there, go through the list and find something you like. FakeHDR makes colors look a little better and adds bloom to light sources. Some of them just add CRT effects and stuff like that. in short, go crazy and try them all. If you find something that you kind of like try tweaking its settings. It's got a bit of a learning curve but a little experimentation will take you a long way.
@Kerbango eh it only uses like 0.5% CPU and less than 35 mb of RAM so it's not doing too much, it downloads ads or even the main page on demand like when you open a website so it isn't using a ton of bandwidth either. It is annoying if you only play a couple games though, I'd rather just have a dedicated .exe I can download, although piracy would go crazy as indicated by people pirating apk files on their Android device. If you don't like Steam maybe look up GOG, I think you can just buy and download games from there without a launcher
@Rjenteissussy yeah I did it for a year on a really crappy laptop, as long as you set up a hotkey to quickly enable and disable the effects you should be fine to use it for just screenshots
@TriStar realizing his fault, he knew he must expand this new living space, regardless of the contract he had signed promising not to destroy the place.
The worst is when you're trying to do something cool like land on one of the destroyers and you get kamikazied by a block plane you built 2 years ago right as you're about to finally land
Ok I looked at the build and I think I'm right. As of right now you have a function that basically sets the opacity (alpha) to a certain amount. That's fine, except it cycles the value through a bunch of values that aren't supported. That means it displays the value and tag as part of the label since it thinks that it isn't a real tag. I could create an FT function that basically cycles it from the lowest to the highest supported values, but that stuff is kind of a pain when I'm away from my computer. Also, you have a random tag in one of your labels that just says “<Alpha=#>” you can probably delete that and be fine. I might try figuring out how to fix this, but if you don’t hear from me for a couple days you might want to start working on it yourself since I’ve got a very busy few days coming up.
So I assume you've read the rich text documentation as well as this. the issue with the <Alpha=#> bug isnt something I have encountered, but it looks like a leftover Rich Text tag. That particular tag only supports the values 00, 22, 44, 66, 88, AA, CC, and FF so you probably currently have a value entered into that tag that isn't in the supported format. I’m going to look at your build and see what I can do.

the pickle has spoken
+1@overlord5453 I think the second one works, I think the first one will technically have it be just a tiny bit transparent
+1Me when webfishing
+1@IceCraftGaming oh yeah I forgot about that
+1@Graingy Ah I see. What do I get for pushing a person to gold? Silver?
+1@Eggplant I don’t think it’s too bad musically, but dang the lyrics are god awful

+1@TheMouse don’t smoke, kids
+1@jamesPLANESii or maybe twitter. Man posts enough random yet coherently related things and has deep enough lore he might actually be successful
+1Welcome back!
+1this, mostly because I made the map and the Reshade Preset and the car is a personal favorite build.
+1@IceCraftGaming underrated comment
+1Control bases are less plug n play but work better in general
+1@Graingy yup that’s kind of my argument

+1@dekanii yeah yours is setup incorrectly, you need to change the “target url” on the page, not just the link it takes you to
+1Some people don't know how it works and set it to the hits page so they get millions of visits lol
