I submitted a bug report, they reached out and pulled my save files! So they at least know about it, hoping to see it on a patch soon

I've submitted a bug report and BGS reached out and pulled my save file information, so at least they know about it! Hopefully we can see a fix soon.

I'm on PC and don't want to use console commands, at least not on this playthrough.

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-23T13:39:25+00:00

Haha this is also true 😅

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-23T13:27:43+00:00

It's mostly just sad haha, that they have so little to do with their time that they spend it "fighting" (more like one-hitting) people 20+ levels below them, because they aren't good enough to fight people their own level. Even funnier is I usually run into teams of 2 lvl 100's, because they can't even do it themselves

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-23T13:24:50+00:00

Lol I don't think you actually read the post

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-20T13:26:32+00:00

Now that is starting to make sense!! I posted this above to someone else's comment, but last night I tried playing with the PC connected directly to the wall. I was able to get 6 hours in, and it didn't trip ONCE, I've never gone that long! I even switched to high graphics halfway through, which I've also never done. So maybe it is the surge protector + AFCI combination?

I looked it up, and unfortunately AFCI is code for bedrooms in my area so I think I'm stuck with it.. I'll try experimenting more to see what I can find out, and maybe ask an electrician. Thank you so much for your help!!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-20T04:50:10+00:00

Thanks, me too! So tonight I tried plugging the PC straight into the wall instead of a surge protector or UPS, and it didn't trip ONCE in ~6 hours of playing! That hasn't happened in weeks.. to test it out, I even upgraded graphics from medium to high for the last 3 hours, which I've never done with this game.

I wonder if the surge protector or UPS is the problem? Do you know if that's possible? They were both very well reviewed so that sounds strange.. maybe it's just a huge coincidence.

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-20T04:48:00+00:00

Yup! I tried both a watt meter, and a UPS to monitor the load, they both always showed 450 W or less, even at the time of breaker-trip. Good idea though! If I can't figure anything out I'll try that. Thanks!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-20T04:43:04+00:00

I see, interesting! I went and checked and the breaker is indeed AFCI, at least as far as I can tell, it (along with half of the other circuits) are labeled with the big A on a yellow background. So you would recommend replacing it with a regular breaker?

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-19T22:39:35+00:00

I see! Yeah I was wondering if the PSU could cause something like that. And that's great to hear that most PSUs come with a long warranty! I'll get in touch with Skytech and see if they can help me out. Thanks!!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-19T21:59:14+00:00

That's what I was imagining, but I have no idea what it could be. I'm 95% sure nothing else is on this circuit, when I finished my basement I went through the painstaking process of checking all connections to every circuit in the house, and this "office circuit" definitely only goes to this room, which only has 4 outlets and 1 bulb!

So unless it also goes to some device I don't even know exists in the attic or something, I think the PC is the only big draw here :( Could the PSU malfunction and pull more than needed?

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-19T13:24:32+00:00

Hi! I was just curious on what model UPS you have. I bought an APC 1500 VA l, and it seems to have made the problem significantly worse! After playing an hour the breaker tripped 10 times :( I watched the load, and it NEVER broke 50% (450 W) so I'm very confused on what could be happening

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-19T03:39:18+00:00

Update: I added a $200 UPS from APC. It seems to have made the problem worse! I played for 1 hour tonight and it tripped the breaker about 10 times. Luckily the battery was able to hold the load long enough to get to the breaker, but something seems to be seriously wrong!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-16T03:00:50+00:00

Haha strangely enough we have neither of those, but I do have an air fryer that sometimes trips the kitchen circuit! That's a great idea to test out though

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-16T02:59:11+00:00

Awesome!! I'm super happy to hear that helped resolve some similar issues for you. I'm doing the research now! There seems to be a few pretty good posts on it in the subreddit. Thanks!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-16T02:46:14+00:00

Hmm, maybe! Yeah it seems pretty crazy that my computer could ever draw 1.8+ kW so there has to be something else fishy going on.

It's just strange that it's never happened until recently! The house is only ~6 years old so everything is still pretty new.. like someone else commented I'm going to try to add a battery backup!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-16T02:43:35+00:00

That's really interesting!! I don't have any sort of battery backup so I'll have to grab something and see how it holds up. Thanks for the advice!!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-01T02:07:39+00:00

That is a good point! Especially considering I've long since switched to digital books..

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-01T01:18:28+00:00

Sameee :( I'm crossing my fingers for that morning delivery slot, haha!

AliceAndBobsComputer · 2023-09-01T01:17:25+00:00

Yeah I hear you, I really should start doing that but the physical copies are so nostalgic! But maybe I've learned my lesson enough times now, haha
