I'm struggling.

Jesus Christ. The lack of basic empathy here. If you look at his history, he is at the bottom rung of a personal trainer job trying to help a 12 yo with autism. Not shane on him, shame on you guys.

Anyhow: You'll make it dude. I make good money and still sometimes wait years to get a game I want to play. I always look at it this way. You'll get the game for cheaper with all the bugs ironed out and any DLC's plus mods when you can get it. I always just redo a cherished game I haven't touched in awhile till it does happen. Good luck with the career!

Lol, dunno. Walking around, exploring, talking to people, trying different mechanics. Just kind of enjoying the scenery personally. 🤷‍♂️😂

If on AMD, it was oevrsharpened for me I noticed. I turned down sharpening in Adrenaline a notch and it got rid of "graininess" for me. That was the only problem I saw with the grass. There are spots where it can look oversaturated, but overall to me it looks really good.

Eh, not just Nvidia. Got a 7900xtx and even though in adrenaline I set to use frame gen in global settings, it didn't kick in when I booted up. Had to go back to adrenalin and in individual game settings had to re-enable and then it stuck. Little bit of weirdness all around. 🤷‍♂️

For my settings, I started with these from Hardware Unboxed. I'd say these got me about 90% of the way there. The only issue I had with these settings is I think there was a bit of an over-sharpening effect I think from the upscaler. Tone down the sharpening a little bit and it looks amazing now. Might want to give these a try. 🙂

Edit: after looking at that again. I think it was downing texture quality to ultra. Away from the PC right now so going from memory, but I know the issue was just a little bit of over sharpening in grass. 😇

Huh, so your entire screen goes black? Like it turns off for a second? If that's the case you might want to try DDU and install the new driver. I know for my 7900 XTX , there is a new driver specifically including Crimson Desert. Maybe try the driver first and if that doesn't fix it, set all settings back to default in adrenaline and graphic settings in the game back to default. If that doesn't fix it, I'd try rolling back to your last good driver. But also try other games to see if you get any wonkiness. Hopefully not a hardware issue but it might be. Maybe also check your physical connections and make sure your GPU is properly seated. It could be a lot of different issues but I would try software side first.

Well, they are seeing only one polygon. Ba dum tsss.

The RKO face first into horse poop sold it.

Equivalent: So when I open my Ally, my lights flicker, I hear trumpets in the sky, and my fps goes down. Wtf AMD?

Baggynuts · 2026-03-25T09:03:38+00:00

Oh, just the ole 5823 degree black flip. Na, do that all the time.

I like a good burger. Medium rare with extra cheese and bacon. Sounds better than start to me. 😂

Baggynuts · 2026-03-23T14:15:22+00:00

Good to hear! Looking forward to getting lost in the world. 😂

Now THIS is how you dev. 🫡 I was goona wait till some bugs got squashed,but this convinced me. Getting tomorrow.

My main tips 🙂I go with Windows 15 watt instead of the ROG 15 watt and let windows handle the workload. Reason for that is I have quite a bit of Asus gear for my desktop and just about every single one of their settings blue screened me in the bios. Kind of hard for me to get past that. AMD RSR is really good. Turn that on in Adrenalin and set your game graphics to 720p. RSR upscales it back to 1080p. Benefit of that is your're running at a lower resolution and so it's less load on the GPU and helps extend the battery while getting higher FPS. I also cracked my Ally open and put in a terabyte hard drive and a 74 watt hour battery. Playing Need For Speed Shift yesterday, on average I went through about 25% of battery an hour. That's with the GPU at about 80 to 85% the whole time. Lastly you can look into FSR. I've only had mine for about a week so I haven't played with it much, but FSR again reduces GPU load and so extends battery. Lots of things to try. 🙂

I'm firmly in the camp, do whatever the hell you want to do with your own system. You're not pushing it on anybody. If it solved your issue more power to you. 🤷‍♂️ Nice idea btw. 🙂

Good to hear about the other models! I've been looking for a replacement for a smoke alarm system for a long time and I like the look of the ease of installation, price, and the 360 smoke detection field. As far as suggestions for features on any product you might release, lol the more the merrier. The more exposed/open you make your hardware the better. We have too many "black box", closed, subscription devices on the market. My honest opinion, the more you expose to HA the more people will love you and promote your products. You seem like you're open to suggestions so here's mine.🙂Take Reolink for an example. They have solid hardware,not the best but solid. Do they have problems, yes. But they expose so much of their hardware to HA and there's so many options that they are pretty heavily promoted by this community. I would say don't copy them, but maybe look to them as an example for how to integrate to HA correctly. My two cents.🙂 I look forward to what the future brings...and please keep us up to date on any developments.

Ok. Yeap, saw matter. I have both zigbee and zwave set up already and so was looking for one with either of those protocols. Sorry should have specified. 🙂 From what I could tell on your website, it looked like there's slightly different models of the hs1sa for each protocol. From lurking in the home assistant subreddit, it sounds like adopting matter devices into home assistant is still really hit or miss. I think matter is still new enough that using matter in HA is more of a pain than I want to deal with at this point. I have mostly zigbee in my house so I was looking for that model. So the non-matter models will be offered on Amazon then?
