How to access the TNT domes at Black Mountain Ordnance Works in Fallout 76

Black Mountain Ordnance Works access

TNT dome #02

Contains alien blaster rounds and the plan for the alien blaster fusion mag.

  1. Get the rusted key at the toxic pond and wreckage southeast of Graninger Farm, inside a broken safe submerged in a ruined house (found with the alien blaster).

Created March 7, 2021 17:43
Fixing missing sounds in Skyrim SE (Windows 10 + Boot Camp)

Problem: Skyrim Special Edition + Windows 10 + Boot Camp works normally, but many sounds (music, player voice/dragon shouts, weapon drawing/attacking, etc.) are missing. Any sounds added by third-party mods are similarly silent.

Cause: An obscure bug in Skyrim SE that expects the game data (including sound) to be stored on a volume with a Master Boot Record (MBR). Boot Camp drives, however, must be GUID-formatted.

Solution: Create a virtual MBR volume and run the game from there.
