Error 0x0006 in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a common online disconnect issue that forces players into offline mode after a match and can lower your Fair Play Score. While SNK has acknowledged the problem, they haven't released a definitive patch yet. However, several workarounds and solutions have helped many players

✅ 1. Check Server Status
Go to the official SNK Twitter/X or forums to confirm if servers are experiencing downtime or maintenance.

If servers are down, the error is likely temporary.

✅ 2. Switch to Wired Connection
Online fighters like Fatal Fury are sensitive to unstable networks.

Use an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi to reduce latency and packet loss.

If you're using Wi-Fi, ensure you're close to the router.

✅ 3. Port Forwarding / NAT Type
Ensure the following ports are open on your router:

Protocol   Port Numbers
UDP   3478–3480
TCP   1935, 3478–3480

For PlayStation or Xbox users, also check your NAT Type — aim for NAT Type 1 (Open) or 2 (Moderate).

✅ 4. Use a VPN (Optional)
Some users report fewer disconnects when using a VPN with a stable U.S. or EU server, especially if their ISP throttles gaming traffic or routes inefficiently.

✅ 5. Disable IPv6
IPv6 sometimes causes handshake failures in online matchmaking.

Windows Instructions:

Open Network and Sharing Center

Click your active connection > Properties

Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)

Click OK and restart your PC

✅ 6. Adjust Firewall / Antivirus Settings
Add the game to the exclusion list of your antivirus and firewall.

Ensure these apps aren't blocking outbound/inbound connections:

FatalFury.exe

Steam.exe or EpicGamesLauncher.exe

✅ 7. Use DirectX 11 (PC only)
Some players have better online stability forcing the game to run in DirectX 11 mode:

In Steam:

Right-click the game in your Library > Properties

Under Launch Options, type:

diff
Copy
Edit
-d3d11
✅ 8. Reinstall the Game (Last Resort)
If the problem persists across multiple sessions and after patches, a fresh install has resolved the issue for some users.

⚠️ Current Status from SNK
As of August 2025:

SNK has confirmed that they're investigating Error 0x0006 as a priority issue. A full fix will likely be included in a future patch addressing online desyncs and matchmaking errors.

WWE / WWE’s Bizarre Request For Karr...
Last post by Administrator - Aug 10, 2025, 11:30 PM
What Went Down with WWE's "Bizarre Request"
In his recent documentary, Karrion Kross revealed that after a post‑RAW moment—well after the official show had ended—he instinctively turned to acknowledge a little girl calling out to him, prompted by a gentle pinch from his wife. It was a small, heartfelt connection in the moment.



However, shortly after, someone from WWE management told him he "shouldn't have been doing that" without listening to his context. It wasn't a conversation—it was a directive, delivered with no empathy, and it left him genuinely pissed off. Especially since, in wrestling tradition, both heels and faces historically acknowledge fans, with no problem.


Booking & Creative Frustrations

SmackDown/Raw Utilization: Kross has consistently expressed confusion over how WWE wants to handle his character. He's pitched much darker, more twisted heel angles—"the most vile character anyone has ever seen"—but those ideas haven't been approved. He remains unsure about WWE's long-term character direction for him.


WrestleMania Snub: After WrestleMania 41, Kross publicly aired his frustrations about being left off the show, using a scathing promo. He stressed he wasn't angry—just incredibly hungry—and that he wanted fans to feel they got every penny's worth of entertainment. That promo eventually led to more TV time, but his message was clear: he wanted to be more than just a background "Easter Egg."

Wrestlezone

What's Next: Contract Status & Future
Contract Expiration: As of August 10, 2025, both Karrion Kross and Scarlett have officially parted ways with WWE. Their names have been moved to the Alumni section on WWE.com, and they're no longer listed on the internal roster.


Mixed Contract Reports: Conflicting reports have circulated recently—some outlets suggested WWE made a contract offer intending to re-sign him, possibly as part of a storyline or promotional tactic. But most recent developments point to their departures being officially confirmed.

Kross is now a free agent, and his self-produced documentary and candid comments suggest he's ready to explore new opportunities, whether within WWE again, indie promotions, or elsewhere. He wants creative freedom to express the dark persona he's envisioned—and fans are eagerly watching what's next.

Authentic Chinese food refers to the traditional dishes, ingredients, cooking methods, and cultural practices that originate from China's diverse regions — before being adapted or modified to suit foreign tastes (like in "American Chinese" cuisine). China is a massive country with a long culinary history, so authenticity is complex and deeply regional.



Key Characteristics of Authentic Chinese Food
1. Regional Diversity
China has 8 major traditional culinary regions, each with its style:

Sichuan (Chuan): Spicy, numbing (e.g., mapo tofu, kung pao chicken)

Cantonese (Yue): Mild, fresh, often steamed (e.g., dim sum, char siu)

Shandong (Lu): Salty, savory, often seafood-heavy

Jiangsu (Su): Refined, sweet, and artistic presentation

Fujian (Min): Light, umami-rich, soups and broths

Zhejiang (Zhe): Delicate, fresh, sometimes sweet

Hunan (Xiang): Spicy, oily, sour and strong flavors

Anhui (Hui): Earthy, wild herbs, rustic ingredients

2. Staple Ingredients
Rice, noodles, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, fermented tofu

Fresh vegetables: bok choy, Chinese broccoli (gai lan), lotus root

Proteins: pork, duck, fish, tofu, chicken — sometimes offal

Seasonings: ginger, garlic, scallions, chili, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns

3. Cooking Techniques
Stir-frying (quick and hot in a wok)

Steaming

Braising

Deep-frying

Boiling

Smoking

Roasting (especially duck and pork)

4. Balance of Flavors
Authentic Chinese food emphasizes balance:

Yin & yang (hot/cold, heavy/light)

Sweet/sour/spicy/savory/bitter

Texture: crispy vs soft, silky vs crunchy

❌ Not Usually Authentic (But Popular Abroad)
General Tso's Chicken

Orange Chicken

Fortune cookies (invented in the U.S.)

Crab Rangoon (cream cheese isn't common in Chinese cuisine)

Beef and broccoli (broccoli isn't native to China)

Examples of Authentic Dishes
Peking Duck (Beijing) – Crispy roast duck served with pancakes and hoisin sauce

Mapo Tofu (Sichuan) – Silken tofu in a spicy, numbing chili bean sauce

Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai) – Soup dumplings with rich pork broth inside

Lanzhou Hand-pulled Noodles (Gansu) – Fresh noodles in clear beef broth

Hot Pot (Chongqing/Sichuan) – DIY table-cooked meal in spicy broth

Congee (all over China) – Rice porridge with savory toppings

If you're getting a black screen at launch when trying to play Mafia: The Old Country on PC, here's a detailed step-by-step guide to help fix it:

🛠� Fixes for Black Screen at Launch
✅ 1. Wait – It May Be Loading Shaders
Why: On the first launch, the game loads and compiles shaders, which can cause a black screen that lasts several minutes, especially on slower drives or older CPUs/GPUs.

Fix: Wait up to 5 minutes before killing the process. If the HDD/SSD activity light is blinking, the game is likely still working.

✅ 2. Launch Online via Steam
Why: The first launch must be online for the game to initialize properly.

Fix:

Ensure you're connected to the internet.

Restart Steam and try launching again.

✅ 3. Update Graphics Drivers
Why: Outdated GPU drivers are a known cause of launch issues.

Fix

NVIDIA: Use GeForce Experience

AMD: Use Adrenalin Software

✅ 4. Disable Frame Generation (if enabled)
Why: Frame Generation (on NVIDIA RTX 40-series) may cause visual bugs or crashes.

Fix

Open Settings > Display in the game (if you can get in) and disable Frame Generation.

If you can't access the menu, try editing the game config file manually (ask me for help on that).

✅ 5. Force Windowed Mode
Why: The game might be failing to initialize fullscreen correctly.

Fix

Right-click the game in Steam > Properties

Under Launch Options, add:

diff
Copy
Edit
-windowed -noborder
✅ 6. Check Resolution Conflicts
If you're using ultrawide monitors, multi-monitor setups, or HDR, try disabling them temporarily and set your main display to 1080p / 60Hz to test.

✅ 7. Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables
Download and install both:
Visual C++ x64 and x86 Redistributables

✅ 8. Verify Game Files
In Steam:

Right-click Mafia: The Old Country > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files

Still Black Screen?
If none of this works, let me know:

Do you hear sound while the screen is black?

What are your PC specs (CPU, GPU, RAM)?

Any mods or overlays running (e.g., Razer Synapse, MSI Afterburner, ReShade)?

Whether you need a license for an electric bike depends on the laws of your country or state and the type of e-bike you are riding. Here's a detailed breakdown of everything you need to know

🔌 What is an Electric Bike (E-Bike)?
An electric bike (e-bike) is a bicycle equipped with an electric motor that assists with propulsion. E-bikes are usually classified by speed and how the motor assists the rider.



⚙️ E-Bike Classification (Common in Many Countries like the U.S. and Canada)
Class   Motor Assistance   Speed Limit   Pedal Requirement   License Required?
Class 1   Pedal-assist only   20 mph (32 km/h)   Yes   No
Class 2   Throttle + Pedal-assist   20 mph (32 km/h)   No   No
Class 3   Pedal-assist only   28 mph (45 km/h)   Yes   Maybe (depends on region)
Above Class 3 / Mopeds / Scooters   Throttle or pedal-assist   28+ mph (45+ km/h)   Not always   Yes

⚠️ If your e-bike has a motor over 750W (or 500W in Canada) or can go faster than 28 mph (45 km/h), it's often classified as a moped or motorcycle and will require registration, insurance, and a driver's license.

🗺� By Country/Region: Do You Need a License?
🇺🇸 United States
Class 1 & 2: No license, registration, or insurance required.

Class 3: Varies by state. Often allowed without a license, but age limits apply.

Overpowered e-bikes (e.g., 1000W+): May be considered mopeds/motorcycles → license required.

🇨🇦 Canada
Most provinces allow e-bikes up to 500W and 32 km/h without a license.

Must have pedals and meet age requirements.

Helmets are required.

Overpowered e-bikes are treated as mopeds → license required.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom
No license needed for "Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles" (EAPCs) if:

Motor ≤ 250W

Speed ≤ 15.5 mph (25 km/h)

Pedals are used to start the bike.

E-bikes that exceed these specs = mopeds → license, insurance, and registration required.

🇪🇺 European Union
Follows similar EAPC rules as the UK.

No license for standard pedal-assist e-bikes (≤250W, ≤25 km/h).

Faster or more powerful models require registration and a license.

🇦🇺 Australia
Two categories:

Pedalec (250W, 25 km/h): No license

Power-assisted bicycles (up to 200W): No license

Higher power or throttle-only bikes = moped/motorbike → license required.

👮�♂️ Legal Requirements May Include
Even if no license is required, most regions still require:

Minimum age (usually 14–16+)

Helmet use

No riding on sidewalks or highways

Lights and reflectors at night

Summary: Do You Need a License?
Type of E-Bike   License Required?
≤ 250W, ≤ 20–25 km/h, pedal-assist only   No
Throttle-assist under 20 mph   No in most places
Above 250W or >28 mph   Yes – treated as moped/motorcycle
Off-road or modified bikes   Yes/Depends – check local law
