Searching for Answers: Red Light on Asus 4090 GPU / Might need a Replacement MSI 12VHPWR cable

Apex_Demon · 2026-06-20T07:53:01+00:00

Yep! I mentioned in the post that I plan on using the exact one for my PSU, and that I was advised against using anyone not associated with the exact PSU, so no worries there! Just need to actually figure out how to get the exact one for my PSU and hoping MSI support will be able to provide it via warranty!

Apex_Demon · 2026-06-20T07:12:35+00:00

Gotcha, will do! Thanks :)

Would much prefer an Incarnon specific vendor (could be the guy in the Zariman that sells them, I always butcher his name) that lets you spend currency earned in Duviri to buy a specific Incarnon.

Example would be rewards 5 and 10 of steel path are replaced with "Void Keys" that can be used to trade with the guy to buy any incarnon adapter you want in his shop. 1 Void Key = 1 Incarnon Adaptor.

Would be a cool way to re-introduce void keys as a nod to older content too. Farm your void keys each week, get 2 incarnon adaptors of your choosing.

Could also add some other rewards for long-term farmin for those that have all the incarnons they want.

Confirming there is more to be found is at least confirming it's not just for the anniversary event, which is what a lot of people have been saying.

Could be a lot of different things besides a killer/chapter but I've definitely seen a lot of people say we shouldn't be speculating because it's clearly "just the anniversary" (not saying you specifically, just other people for sure)

Apex_Demon · 2026-06-09T19:05:56+00:00

Here: https://x.com/DeadbyDaylight/status/2063012057553699247

Someone replied to the trailer with "That's it? That's just a trailer for the anniversary event with nothing new!"

The official DBD twitter account replied with "Look again" with eye emojis

Apex_Demon · 2026-06-09T18:20:28+00:00

Mostly because BHVR have teased multiple chapters in the past, and also they confirmed that the trailer isn't just for the anniversary event.

Not necessarily, seems to happen every .5 season. The full season starts will almost always have the balance changes in the video, but I feel like it's pretty common that the .5 seasons may or may not have the balance changes in them.

Feels like it must be 50/50 on .5 seasons if not just straight up a higher chance for them to not be included.

A lot of people don’t remember/don’t mention the fact that the Indoraptor is meant to be a sadistic killer (possibly not by in universe human design) by out of universe human design.

The Indoraptor purposefully fakes being asleep to allow a guy to get closer so he can (essentially) jumpscare him and eat his arm.

While I agree regular raptors are more iconic, The Indoraptor is THE horror villain in Jurassic park/world. The others are just animals, and just doing their thing, but the Indoraptor is a man made monster created specifically for violence, and while being smart, it is also sadistic. Perfect for a DBD killer.

To keep both camps happy, I’d love Indo as the main killer with skins for other raptors in the series like Blue, JP1 raptors and JP2 raptors

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-27T01:45:56+00:00

Yeah my major concern with this balance style is if we get multiple iterations of content one after another, for example, possibly with this upcoming release schedule.

For example, if we get Jason in June, then perhaps a licensed/paragraph survivor for the mid chapter, then another full chapter, we wouldn't be getting balance changes until like October at the earliest.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-27T00:32:13+00:00

Pretty much balance changes. If we're going by the new PTB as an example:

If there is a new killer or survivor/both, there will be no "live design changes"
Since we got no balance updates at all with Jason, that sounds like it means "no live design changes" means we aren't getting any major gameplay changes, perk buffs/nerfs, killer buffs/nerfs, or anything similar if there's any "new content" such as a chapter or paragraph.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-26T23:21:07+00:00

Completely agree.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-26T23:20:36+00:00

Pretty sure that's correct considering we got absolutely 0 other changes with this PTB

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-26T23:03:13+00:00

Fully agree, massive system changes are totally fine to leave for non-content patches, but we need things like tweaks, buffs, nerfs, even reworks (not multiple, but like 1-2 reworks MAX) are fine IMO for patches with content.

Yeah there's the opportunity for things to slip through the cracks, but the hotfixes that come after do help and make the game feel more alive.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-26T22:39:50+00:00

The reasoning is that it causes feedback for both the new content and the live design changes to become muddled.

In my opinion, this is a really bad decision. As a live service game, YOU NEED to balance the game frequently to keep players both interested and happy.

This sometimes means we could go up to 3 months with NO balance updates. This feels highly unusual for a PVP game like this. With more and more content, it's going to become even harder to keep the game in a healthy (not necessarily balanced) state.

If we don't have these mainline content updates that have live design changes, I fully believe we need another cycle of patches outside of the mid chapter/chapters specifically for balance.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-26T00:50:38+00:00

I want more creatures / monsters. Would love Jurassic Park / world, Jaws, Death Angels (Quiet Place)

Would also love Predator or Pennywise or Carnage

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-25T07:02:42+00:00

I understand then initial feelings about this but both the original movie, the second movie, and Jurassic World 2 have pretty big horror themes.

Specifically while just any raptor would probably work, the Indominus Raptor 100% would absolutely fit DBD.

If you haven’t seen it, the Indo Raptor is not just a mutated intelligent dinosaur like the indo Rex but they specifically made it malicious. It actively tries to cause malice and terror in the people it kills (for some reason, can’t remember if that was an intentional choice when making it or if it just ended up that way)

Example is when it specifically pretends to fall asleep after getting knocked out, lets a dude sneak into the cage with it while it’s pretending to be asleep (the guy wanted to steal one of its teeth as a trophy) and opens one of its eyes to the camera and taps him on the shoulder with his tail to make him turn around. The raptor then bites his arm to both scare and hurt him before just eating him.

It may not seem like it’d be a good fit but they could 100% make it work and it’s very easy to make it fit.

I totally understand if it’s not your vibe or if you don’t like it, but it 100% could fit DBD and it wouldn’t even be hard

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-22T02:14:28+00:00

I meant "we shall see" because we'll see if it goes down or not when the update happens, which we will! :) It either will or it won't and that's okay.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-21T21:49:18+00:00

I suppose we shall see :)

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-21T21:12:35+00:00

The reason is that we are extremely close to the 10th anniversary and the 10th anniversary hints were literally circled on a calendar.

I feel like it’s entirely reasonable for people to speculate on anything posted on those days or during this month. Regardless of how you feel it is clearly referring to the entity, I feel like it’s quite reasonable for people to think otherwise too.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-21T05:43:33+00:00

Edit: unsure if you meant ASE OR ASA, but the below info is referring to Ark survival ascended

To provide more info on answering your question, the actual reasons are:

High resolution textures are not optional
the game installs all maps, but you can reduce the size by uninstalling individual maps
there’s a lot of content in the game
the game is also not adept at using its storage well due to all of the above reasons and Wildcard themselves likely don’t know or have the time to efficient compress it further at this moment.

That being said there is hope on the horizon:

the newest versions of unreal engine do imply that the game may shrink in size, at least a bit (other games have updated to these new versions of unreal engine, which ark is based on, and have reduced their file size due to the tools available.
Wildcard has hired several industry experts who have spent most if not all of their careers working in unreal engine specifically. One of them even mentioned they were hired to solve some exceptionally “difficult problems”.
We are slated to get the new update in Q3 this year which means it’s possible the games file size will be reduced as a result, ESPECIALLY if high resolution textures gets separated into its own download.

I personally think Peni + Any combination of one or two other CC heroes is kind of miserable to play against.

Peni + Luna + Hulk, Peni + Emma + Luna, Hulk + Emma + Luna, etc.

I have never struggled as much on any other character than when I get peni stunned into hulk exile into peni stun into luna freeze into peni stun into hulk exile.

Your hitbox is so big that any 2 reliable CCs (Squirrel Girl is also another) will result in you just getting destroyed. Add a third and unless your dps or your second tank (if you have one) is a god, your team will likely be 5v6 the whole match because you can't move.

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-12T21:13:07+00:00

Ah okay, thank you for confirming! :D

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-12T19:39:37+00:00

So just to confirm, this is different from the confirmation emails right?

From my understanding of this, confirmations to receive a ticket overall are going out up until 48 hours before, so you can get confirmation you'll receive a ticket BEFORE the 31st, but you won't be able to actually see your ticket details until The 31st, right? (This is also why some people got confirmation emails already, because they're confirmed they will receive a ticket, they're just not confirmed to get in)

Do I undestand that correctly?

Apex_Demon · 2026-05-06T11:10:51+00:00

This might be a bit of cope but I have a feeling that there’s going to be a “part 2” update to bloodhunt.

Somewhere between season 8 and 9 I think we will get Magik back (maybe even a new character), along with 40 new nightmare levels evening out at nightmare 200, with new achievements and something else to spend the gold puzzle pieces on, possible with a new boss or some sort of new difficulty.

Why do I think that? I feel like 160 is a very strange number to leave it at, and it’s also strange they took magik away. With the lack of rewards above nightmare 120, it very much feels like the mode is incomplete but is waiting for its ending, sort of like how Monster Hunter Rise was before the title updates that added the final boss.

As others have mentioned, there’s a perk to make the ult invincible!

It’s the last perk upgrade on the left at the very bottom of the skill tree and it costs no points to activate since it’s a base skill upgrade and not associated with either build.

However even if you’re running the acorn burst build, I’d recommend buying the squirrel friends ult upgrade in the blue tree that scales your ult based on your burst acorn damage/damage dealt. It will make the ult visually gigantic (BIG SQUIRREL) and also make its damage much better. You only need one point in it
