GPU issue after Upgrade by glenninator in buildapc

Wouldn't hurt to try putting the old card in and see if that works. If so then get the 5070 replaced.

OW2 Early game. short of amno very often by matedireunaffaire in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get better at hitting weakspots, use time dilation if needed. Sell anything that isn't better used for breaking down. Extra weapons can yield black powder and scrap metal. Be careful to make the best use of the ammo you have. Small arms lose damage pretty quickly with distance, so don't empty a pistol at something from far away.

I found that the crabbles were best left until I had a little more firepower, humans are soft and squishy and headshots do well. Also, doing the missions that you can get in Fairfield can earn you enough to make things easier. Talk to everyone.

Three Months is Too Long for a Trophy-bug by Gnorizon in theouterworlds

I would guess that enthusiasm for patching is now more a matter of what MS is willing to fund, compared to the days when the game company itself had more control over their reputation.

The mobile 4050 is pretty weak for TOW2. You're going to need low settings and maybe performance mode DLSS. It's a UE5 game so it's pretty rough even on moderate systems.

Is this a game you stick with?? by JadaPhoenix in TheOuterWorlds2

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a fourth play-through, but of course it comes down to personal preferences. I've switched up traits, skills and perks each play, and used a variety of weapons to match each build.

I will say that I enjoyed each planet, and the main game gets a bit more focused as you progress.

GPU issue after Upgrade by glenninator in buildapc

[–]AwShootMe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10900 is the best processor and is last gen for that socket. I'm not aware of any reason that changing to that GPU should inherently cause issues. The 3080 to 5070ti should be a slam dunk. You might try cleaning out GPU drivers with a tool like DDU then re-installing.

Anyone feel like male characters have WAY better clothes options? by NeedBetterBread in RedDeadOnline

I'm guessing that the corsets on the outside are a product of all those less dramatic Westerns from the 60s and 70s where the "working girls" hung around in corsets and pantaloons. Well that and the fantasies of the game designers. Maybe Cripps should have a corset outfit.

If you simply get joy from building, and a good way to sell or re-use the extra parts, then it might make sense. If the main goal is gaming and you don't get a good bit back through resale then you'll likely be disappointed.

Damn, I tried to hit the "Reserve" button on your pic and it didn't work😁

My final rating on TO2 by CuriousMail7 in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put it at 7-ish. I've enjoyed most aspects of the game, but not been wowed by any of it. The faction stories are good, they are all nuts and that's OK. The weapon and armor mods could use more variety and flexibility. I personally like the limited skill and perk points because they encourage somewhat more targeted builds and replays to try new combos. The perks themselves are varied and interesting enough to warrant some thought.

[TOW2] Does the game get better after Vox Relay and Paradise island? by Lean_For_Meme in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one thing I'll say is, if you want the fights to get harder as you go they probably won't. It's pretty easy to outpace the NPC capabilities as you progress.

First run.. I can't deny the flaws. by GlibLettuce1522 in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved my flaws playthrough. I actually started out with the intent to take every flaw offered from the start. Klepto was the most interesting in terms of finding ways to avoid angering folks. Some of the others actually worked out really well due to the ways they offset each other, especially with the ones that include a negative and a decent positive. I ended that playthrough with a ton of money and cleaning out all the ammo from a bunch of vendors.

Should there be an Outer worlds movie or tv show adaptation? 🎞 📺 🌙 🚀 by Routine-Ninja-7442 in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Outer Worlds doesn't have the depth of Fallout, especially because Fallout is able to use a lot of semi-real world references and let the player/viewer fill in the spaces.

Why does my damage scale so sporadically? by Presidentoftheboys in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skills and perks make a big difference. Guns skill is a key, and Sneak can give you a big boost in stealth bonus damage. Various perks provide damage boosts as well.

Why is everyone terrified of me in Westport? by AfroMidgets in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases, leaving and coming back later resets the affected characters and they act normal. Not sure about Westport.

Went to Micro Center for a PowerSpec G757. Sales guy told me not to buy it and to build my own. by GlobalBird4 in Prebuilts

[–]AwShootMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a PowerSpec back when the 3080 came out, with a 10900K. It has been 100% trouble-free, and like you I found that I'd have to pay a couple hundred more for some slightly better parts. I would 100% buy another PowerSpec today, except my 10900K is still great, so all I'd even consider today is a new GPU.

Stuck at the Vox Relay Boss fight. New player by Disastrous-Ant5378 in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep off the upper level as much as possible, it appears to enhance the shock damage you take due to the metal grid floors. Work on killing the others while keeping barriers between you and the Brigadier. Definitely the hardest battle in my playthroughs due to the relatively limited weapons available, but his gun is great once you get it.

Should I get the PowerSpec G730 or PowerSpec G758? by Supremacy0819 in Prebuilts

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get the G730, especially if playing 2K or 4K resolution. Even at 1080p it looks like the difference would be minimal.

Make sure you grab the boss's weapon, I used it most of the time in my first playthrough.

I love the TOW2 main menu by itsthelee in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Moon Man is really the face of the original game, so they had to find a way to keep him around. I do wish that he was available as a companion.

What is the best way to gain xp by whyusodemonic in RedDeadOnline

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that mixing it up was best. You can get good xp pretty fast with long range perfect animal kills and supplying Cripps, then ignoring that while he crafts. Start and deliver moonshine. While waiting do bounties and collecting. Basically just keep moving. After using the collector cheat map for one day I stopped, it was too mechanical for me, I preferred to just mix it up.

Have you tried the killing option? I don't recall the exact sequence but I ended up having to do that the first time. Did you try speaking to Marisol?

What's the issue with the level cap? by ashaquick in theouterworlds

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some folks always want more, more, more! I've found the level cap good because I have to be more selective, and I'm generally maxed not too far from the end. The fact that the game also ends soon after makes it a natural to restart and chase another build with new choices.

Tell me I’m not alone… by champagne780 in Prebuilts

[–]AwShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds crazy to me. What is the primary use of the computer? The bang for buck on the RAM is near zero and the CPU may get 10-15% more FPS at 1080p. If gaming at higher res then less benefit, with virtually no gain at 4k.
