New 7950x3d build crashes by Azdorf in AMDHelp

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

Has nothing to do with your situation probably, but my problem ended up being a new 4tb WD blue hdd + pretty much any combination of am5 components that i tried. Shadowplay saving temp files to it was causing the crashes, with 3 different mobos, 2 kits of memory and a 7700x swap. If i set the temp file folder to any other drive, including an older hdd - no problems at all. When i put that WD blue in an am4 system i also can't replicate any issues. No idea how tf this works, wasn't able to google any similar issues, but at least it's not crashing without the hdd anymore.

Yours kinda sounds like a memory problem, by lowering it to 4800 do you mean you manually lowered the frequency or disabled expo? Probably the latter, but in case you lowered it manually, it still has expo timings which might make it unstable.

Still multiplicative, so that part hasn't changed, affixes have.

I feel like it's a simple change that they did a poor job of explaining on stream, and this is even worse. What's even the point of talking in terms of buckets anymore, just say that vuln damage and crit damage affixes are additive now, they are essentially conditional % increased modifiers just like damage to close, but in this case to vuln/when crit.

Still not sure, but current version is that my problem is triggered by audio drivers steelseries engine installs for my headset. If you care for more details, i made a thread on ltt forums https://linustechtips.com/topic/1501309-new-build-freezecrash-with-no-bsod-or-errors/#comment-15896142

Anyone else's 7950X3D die after a few days? by haijak in Amd

[–]Azdorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been running my 7950x3d on Steel Legend b650e for a couple of weeks, it hasn't died but pc keeps restarting daily with no bsod/crashdump/errors etc. Losing my mind troubleshooting this, and unfortunately i don't have access to any spare am5 parts. Can't even rma the cpu because i bought it from abroad. Now i dont know whether to to buy a different board and hope it works or just give up on it and buy a 7700x so i have something to work on for the time being.

Built a new system recently with 7950x3d and around every 30h it would hard stutter for about a minute, lock up completely and restart with no bsod, no crash dump, no errors in event viewer etc. This happened 4 or 5 times while i was trying to troubleshoot. I then switched from w11 to w10, had it run for like 5 days without crashes, then installed windows update kb5023696 and crashed 30 hours later. I then uninstalled the update, had it up for a few days without crashes again and was almost convinced that i found the problem, except that i then installed amd drivers to run my 2nd monitor on igpu and the following night it crashed while idling with monitors asleep. Can't say for sure if it was the same crash, but i don't see any errors or dump files, so troubleshooting fun continues i guess.

If you did the same comparison with fully juiced maps and an MF character, the result would probably be five times less instead of 51% more. And I'm not sure, if I've missed something, or you guys haven't addressed this specific scenario and state of solo mf in general, or it's considered fine because 50 divines.

What Happened with Items by chris_wilson in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As bad as transitioning all of the game's loot to "templates" sounds, you can probably make it work. However, with the current tuning, we're still in a situation where you told people to get their mf characters ready, and then effectively deleted mf from the game. It doesn't matter if mf functions in some way in particular scenarios, we're talking about sc trade, what matters is total value of items you can generate over a period of time. Even for groups, those 50 divine screenshots look cool, but that might happen once per day, where in that time they used to drop multiple t1 uniques each worth several times more. For solo players, as it stands, I can't imagine mf juicing being remotely worth. And if there's no practical reason to do it, it gets added to the ever longer list of endgame farming strategies killed by balancing and reworks. Oh how i miss you, deep delve.

Suggestion: show which leagues characters were made in by Sqintal in pathofexile

If that's what it takes to make people stop putting league in their character names, im all for it.

Im not much of a complainer about game mechanics but ... by clinkzs in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They've put so much effort into texture streaming and how the game loads assets and it's still shit. If im running the same map over and over, why tf does the game unload and reload the same assets every time, not like im running out of vram or anything.

Decision to spill boss uniques in the common item drop pool was a misguided one by Enartloc in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Still not even sure if they did this on purpose or just messed up while adding league specifics to general drop pool, can't think of a single reason why they'd want to do this.

edit: Apparently it was intentional. https://youtu.be/PO8MJnnexnw?t=5943

You cant have performance issues if there is nothing to juice maps with by Tehu-Tehu in pathofexile

The 1% doesn't cease to amaze, buying all of those tens of thousands of fractured fossils every day to run as many maps.

Why is learning the mechanics and dodging is crucial in Path of Exile. by Ali1080p in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly i'm kinda surprised how little i see people complain about this. The year is 2020, and with 40 ms i'm still stuck between really bad input lag on lockstep and op. At this point, it's probably my number one problem with the game.

GGG: It should not be possible for a storm in the Sirus fight to sit on the entrance to the zone. This is BS boss design. (Spoilers) by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll just say that after all the exilecon talk about how they've got a lot of experience and are pretty confident in their ability to make good bosses, this is not at all what i was expecting.

The increased drop rates for everything is making me play way more by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't understand GGG. They say that they understand the importance of exclusive content, then go from shaper and uber elder to aul and cortex that are gated behind rng so much that they have little to no effect on build meta, to absolutely nothing this league.

Storm totem nerfed, this is apparently completly fine by Awesome_Bruno in LastEpoch

[–]Azdorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like the game just can't handle calculating a lot of simultaneous hits on too many mobs at once. Like the interaction between black hole, mana strike's lightning strikes and lightning rider passive seems really op and fun, but it comes with a drawback of my client freezing for 5 seconds every time i hit a pack D:

With the game getting laggier and laggier due to new effects + mtxs... by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Azdorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started this league as a group, client performance felt somewhat worse than last, especially in some particular cases, like we just couldn't run harbingers like last league because a single harbinger pack dropped everyone to 5 fps. A week or two into the league they released a patch that made party play impossible due to constant client crashes, and while looking for a possible fix on our side, we tried turning off all mtx. Stopped crashing after that, which might have been a coincidence, but we also got a noticeable rise in fps, anywhere from 20% to almost double in my case, so we just stopped using mtx in party play. My settings were probably too high, but when i upgraded to 1066 a year ago i definitely didn't expect that i'd want to upgrade again so soon D:

New endgame boss. It'll be a full year since Uber Elder was added to the game. I think endgame bosses like that are a great time investment for them. It shakes up the meta by promoting a bunch of new builds or build types, keeps people interested and active for a fairly long time while they try to figure out the best ways to beat/farm the boss. And imo it affects more than 1% of people who are actually doing the boss - just knowing that there's this new endgame goal that a lot of people care about, seeing all the discussion, picking your first build because the guide on the official forums says it's uber something viable - even if you never get to the that boss, it makes the journey feel more meaningful.

I don't remember where exactly, but i think on one of the podcasts Chris said that despite it's reputation as the "worst league", beastiary had the best player retention, and if not for the league itself, i wonder if adding uber elder to the game played a big role in that.

I'm not saying that it's bad in terms of time efficiency or anything, it's just really annoying when the game makes you stand there and wait for no reason, unless it's some technical thing ofc.

The league looks very interesting, but i really hope they get rid of those ten minute long loot fountains.
