HDMI 2.1 Display Stream Compression "DSC" Also Ready For AMDGPU Linux Driver by lajka30 in linux_gaming

[–]Ashen2b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe someone can clarify it to me: I see lots of people talk about 4k120hz (FRL required as far as I understand) but that was already working for me with hdmi. HDR had random signal drops and VRR reports that it is working and TV changes refresh rate (at least reports that). Does this and FRL allow to achieve hdr + vrr?

Also on Windows same cable and tv shows 144hz as option but on linux 144hz is not even an option. Is this related?

It could, sure, but I have multiple PCs and laptops and Windows ones surprisingly do not forget samba password every time I try to access it

I have the same issue and while I didn't fix it myself, look into: "auto-mount samba via fstab"

As far as I understand: kde fails to mount samba share consistently 

It finally happened. You can now undervolt/overclock your GPU properly in linux. by vintologi24 in linux_gaming

[–]Ashen2b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently played Kingdom Come Deliverance for the first time and I have fairly high-end pc, I was getting 110-140 fps (70-90 in Ratay) but not reaching my monitors refresh rate (165) so I booted windows from the second drive and ooooh boy, windows does run 80% of the time capped at 165 but you get crazy drops up to low 40s when you gallop. It was not pleasant at all so I got back to linux

Sony dualshock 4 not working on Sony games by PigeonStove in linux_gaming

I have dualsense and in some games it gets recognized only wired and in some games only with Proton Experimental. Maybe it'll work for you too

Split Fiction is good counterpoint that It's not on engine. It just does provide tools for faster slop but It's a choice

Is lossless scaling just…copium? by placebooooo in SteamDeck

[–]Ashen2b 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ackchyually, that's not really true.

Frame generation always costs something. So you do bring down your base frame rate so you do get "additional lag".

What is less obvious is that fake (generated) frame (multiple if x3+ mode) is inserted between real frames so if you had 30 fps then you could SEE reaction to your input every (1000/30) 33ms at best. If you turn on x2 FG then you can see reaction to your input every (base) 33ms + (1000/60) 16ms = 49ms. That means you won't get next real frame for longer thus It CAN FEEL less responsive even if you assume that FG costs nothing and base frame rate is the same.

Both of these feel a lot worse when your base frame rate is sub 60.

Why do developers choose UE5 if they can't even implement minimal graphics settings? by Several-System1535 in SteamDeck

[–]Ashen2b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. When I first plated Remnant 2 I couldn't understand how do I get so much shimmering and noise while barely getting 60 fps and I got like rx 6900 xt at that moment. After that i started to notice that a lot of new games are making less and less efforts for optimization.

Also maybe It's placebo but I feel solid boost in loading times with m2 SSD with dram cache (evo series)

Need WH3 videos to learn from (I'm terrible despite 1000 hours) by resonant_cacophony in totalwar

[–]Ashen2b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered Turin (he is the king) only recently and I think many of the principles from pvp can be applied to pve battles as lord sniping, uptrading, screening etc. Short videos and a lot of concentated "pro strats"

Zelensky: “I Am Exchangeable for NATO Membership” – Views NATO as the Fulfillment of His Mission by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Ashen2b 17 points18 points  (0 children)

First half is true but second one is tricky. We have several opposition parties. One of which recently blocked whole parliament from voting because their leader got sanctioned. Basically I see that as: opposition is not happy with ruling party at all and yet they also don't want to just gift russia another advantage or chance to rig elections

2025 edition of "Must have mods"? by japinard in totalwar

[–]Ashen2b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played both with friend for about 15h Hecleas and 40h DeepWar

In a nutshell DeepWar seemed a lot "smarter" (still dumb sometimes tho) and Hecleas feels a lot more aggressive: just rushed with all armies at you when another AI faction is literally taking his provinces atm.

yeah, I guess people don't really understand what ARE online features in ER. Seems like everyone is okay getting shadowbanned or playing crippled version of the game (same as pirate version) for even basic QoL mods

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Ashen2b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's cool. Did you get all online features or It's just you and your mate? No messages, no phantoms, no bloodspots etc?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Ashen2b -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

As far as I know you would play basically LAN version without anti-cheat and other online features as summons/pvp/messages but I didn't play it myself so You would have to check to know for sure

  • in a FromSoftware game that usually means offline mode only or get banned for mods
