The Saga of EA Customer support part 4

So the last email said 48 hours for a response, So I waited a week, and honestly I'm starting to get a bit irate.

Jan 4, 2017 (13 days after the first contact)

So a week after my last communication, time for a new ticket.  In retrospect I should have updated one of the previous ones, maybe, but in so far the only response I received were the initial reply from the CSR that also closed the ticket. At 3:00 PM I put in a new ticket, again I don't have the language used but it was either a recap of the issue, or a request for an update on the previous tickets.

At 4:33 PM I received an exact copy of the previous message from EA, so no need to quote it here.

At 4:49 PM I replied with the following:
Thanks for the time it took to copy and paste a canned reply.  
It seems apparent after being dismissed twice that I will need to become a nuisance customer for this issue to be addressed.  
I will continue to re open this issue, submit duplicate issues, and fill out customer satisfaction surveys with the lowest marks possible until the original issue is addressed.
I look forward to our future business relationship of having many tickets dismissed, and clicking many dissatisfied radio buttons.
At this time I took the time to fill out the customer service surveys with the worst marks possible, and use the web interface to make sure that the tickets were still open.  I think I had made up in my mind that I would be opening a new ticket every 48 hours until this was resolved, it didn't quite work out that way.

8Bitdo NES 30 Pro on linux

This post will go over the setup I had to do to get my   8Bitdo  NES30 Pro controller working on my Arch linux desktop with steam.  This results in the system loading the xboxdrv automatically when the controller is connected, and unloading once finished. Firmware Update The first thing to tackle was the firmware update on the controller,  This may not be needed, but I like to keep my devices up to date. After some googling, I was able to find a program called fwupd  that's able to update the controller via a USB connection.  It's available for Arch in the community repo. The basic syntax of the command is: fwupdmgr get-devices fwupdmgr refresh fwupdmgr get-updatessudo fwupdmgr update The controller will need to be put into 'Firmware update mode'.  Be aware that the final command will also update all eligible firmware on your system, so If you don't want that, please dig into the documentation Bluetooth Connection G...

Craftware 1.17 on Arch Linux -- notes

Craftware a slicer for 3d printers is available for linux here .  It looks pretty good, and is supposedly multi threaded with support for hardware acceleration. I can only find it  as a deb file, and there's nothing in the AUR for it. I tried a few of the common methods for installing debs: debtap While it was able to create a package, upon installing it I got this error loading packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid) :: package craftware-1.17.1-1-i686 does not have a valid architecture So.. No good. I tried just extracting the package content, and running the binary: ./craftware: error while loading shared libraries: libomp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory and yes, it is installed. $ ldconfig -v           libomptarget.so -> libomptarget.so          libomp.so -> libomp.so          libzit...

The Saga of EA Customer support part 6

Between the 6th and the 9th not much happened.  Mostly this was the peroid where I was trying to be a nusance and hopefully cause something to show up on a report that would land on a middle managers desk at some point. Jan 6, 2017 At some point this day, I gave the game a 1 star review on the play store.  I also took to the official forums and saw several others experiencing the same issue, as early as Nov 1st.  I don't know at what time each happened. At 1:22 PM I submited a bug, claiming that there was a problem with the support procedures, causing cases to be closed with out a proper resolution.  This was closed without responce, then again reopened by me.  It currently remains open. At 4:16 PM They responded to my second case, that it was a duplicate, and that it was closed: Thank you for contacting us back at Electronic Arts.  I would like to inform that your case (escalated)#[First Case] is already escalated to our specialist team. Plea...
