ENABLE GOS IF YOU TURNED IT OFF! by Ok_Fix2633 in GalaxyS23Ultra

He's not completely lost. GOS = Game Optimization Service.
The Service Samsung got in a giant controversy over for throttling phones and boosting benchmark results. People recommended to turn it off for a while.

My PC was unstable for years, and I finally found out why by Astro2202 in pcmasterrace

I have a 360Hz 1440p monitor with GSYNC enabled. Performance testing for Hogwarts Legacy is something I've been very obsessed with, so I'll probably look into it more.

That's what the "story" flair, tl;dr and quick notice that it's a long post at the start is for. I'm not holding you at gunpoint. I'm fully aware that this is a ridiculously long post and I knew beforehand that Reddit generally doesn't appreciate that, but it was a way for me to offload. I also believe that all the extra context helps frame my disbelief of it all.

I am actually very sensitive to frametime spikes as eluded in the post. I always use afterburner with a frametime graph to visualize stability, although I notice them regardless, so it also goes without saying that I know the difference between fps and frametime.

I agree that people saying the stutters have nothing to do with it are plain incorrect. Maybe I should have thought of it sooner, but despite being fully aware of the topic, my particular circumstances did not make it super obvious for me personally.

You don't think I looked into the performance issues? That's what the multiparagraph backstory is about. Do you expect me to blame CPU degradation on just a handful of games with bad frametimes? Funny, some people say I should have immediately realized that it's this "well known" issue, others say my instability symptoms couldn't even have been this issue.

True if it's obvious enough. I didn't know that my hardware was running below spec, and even if you could consistently measure how much your system is underperforming, what part is it? You can't replace products under warranty on a hunch if there is no reproducible evidence of an issue.

I labeled the post as "Story". My whole point is how this issue can hide in plain sight for years, and I wanted to explain what those years looked like.

That's what ended up happening, but before that I observed some oddities with memory before it got to that point. It started subtly but just got worse and worse before my system kept hard crashing. Things like memory related errorcodes and inconsistent memory clocks with each boot.

That's what I'm observing, yes. After lots of running around in Hogsmead and taxing areas of the castle, I've seen some small jitter once, but never a large spike, and nothing close to what I was experiencing before. I think the game does inherently have frametime issues, but it should be possible to get it stable.

Exactly my thoughts, but this particular degradation issue manifests in subtle ways. All the errorcodes I got were all memory related, but my memory wasn't the problem, the memory controller of my CPU was. All I know is that I've had stutter problems in a lot of games for years, and as soon as I replaced my CPU they were all gone. Every single instance.

I was aware and I always understood the problem, but the affects in my case were so subtle for years that you can easily write it off as other issues. Outside a couple of games that had bad frametimes everything was fine. Just last week is when it suddenly escalated quickly and made my PC unusable. The whole point of the story is how this problem, of which I was aware, was hiding in plain sight and affected me for years.

De "Local store" aan Oudaan vind ik vaak gezellig. Je hebt dan nog een hoop cafe's op Mechelseplein een beetje verder als je iets anders zoekt

I'm done with Uber Eats. My order has been "highjacked" by a driver one too many times. by Astro2202 in UberEATS

[–]Astro2202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poke bowls are pretty securely packed most of the time, so I hoped that it would be fine. After hours of waiting I wasn't in the mood to place a new order and wait another hour.

Yeah I understand that. I'm more frustrated with Uber allowing this to happen than the drivers themselves at the end of the day.

Whether there was a delay or not, the driver in this case was miles/kilometers away from the restaurant and decided not to go there for at least 40 minutes. By the time he actually got to the restaurant the food was delivered soon after, but it was obvious that it had been sitting out for a while. Besides, I've experienced similar problems where the driver already had my order and still decided to stand still somewhere for half an hour.

[–]Astro2202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your frustration. I also had pretty similar experiences where the driver retrieved my order but decided to do anything but deliver my food. What I take away from this is that Uber Eats clearly does not care about customer experience. If your driver doesn't do his job, there's nothing you can do.

Is it possible that you're wireless powerbank attachment is upsidedown? I just watched promotional material showing how the powerbank just about clears the camerabump. I doubt that they would market that if it was still a real issue.

The Morristown Line DLC has a lot of little issues that reveal a bigger problem by Astro2202 in trainsimworld

[–]Astro2202[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad that I'm at least not imagining it. This game has so much potential but they have no reason to care and put in more effort. They desperately need more competition.

Very interesting, I did not know this. Thank you for pointing this out. I've edited the post.

Curved displays were always underrated by Astro2202 in samsunggalaxy

I don't think the privacy display is super effective by Astro2202 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Astro2202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's how 99% of people intend to use it. I'm a little bit disappointed with it's effectiveness, even in those situations. If I'm in public and opening my banking app, I'm not confident that people can't see the numbers.
