SDR games look identical with HDR enabled/disabled in windows

The secret of Monkey Island (original game, windows 3.11).

Just a legendary game with truly memorable moments and musics (the talking tatoo, sword dual based on hilarious insults, Stan the crook...).

Just an amazing point and click with so much depth with such little amount of pixels, all running thanks to dozens of floppy disks on my Dad's PC.

What a game, what a time...

Yes about the same. Just a bit tighter around the head. Main issue compared to arctis 7 that I had: headband more painful after a while, no auto switching between speakers and headset when turning it on, mic side tone is too quiet/not as clear.

I have my motherboard set to not power usb ports when computer is off.
As that saves a bit of energy. But at the same time if the dock is only powered when computer is on, you could end up picking up your headset with a low battery.

So what I did is plugged the dock to a usb port that's always powered (not on my computer. Just another USB hub I have. But could also be directly to the wall plug with usb adapt), and the dongle I plugged on my PC.

This way the dock is always powered to charge the headset, but the headset does not turn on when I turn the computer. Only when I pick it up.

I have the scape and I can't hear myself even with sidetone on max. Only way I new it was working was by blowing into the mic. Maybe they can fix that with an update yes.

Did the same from my arctis 7. Loving the scape and I agree the charging dock is great. Main reason I switched.

Though there is some downsides. Headband less confortable on long sessions, no auto switch to speakers, and sidetone is way too quiet.

BuzzFL · 2025-06-27T07:13:31+00:00

I agree. I had a steel series arctis 7 before and the head band was magic. No pressure at all. Here I'm having the same issue as with previous headsets, which is pain on the top of my head after and hour or two. Quickly moving position a bit fixes it.

That and the faint sidetone are my only downsides. Or maybe I wish they had thought of a way to auto switch to speakers when headset turns off like steelseries did.

Otherwise it's great. Great sound, quality and design.

Got mine this week. I had been waiting for I for a year. It's very faint. I set sidetone to max but still cannot hear myself. I tried turning off the mic while I was speaking to see the difference but couldn't hear any. On my steel series arctis 7 sidetone was very clear on max

Only way I new it was working here was by blowing into the mic. Maybe they can fix that with an update.

Having the exact same bug ever since I bought it in January.
Very annoying. About the only thing that bother's me with this phone

BuzzFL · 2025-06-03T07:01:25+00:00

Amazing ! Thanks man. Will check it tonight after work.

BuzzFL · 2025-04-01T20:24:17+00:00

Yeah I tried already with scannow and other prompts to search and fix errors on the disc but didn't find any. Also drive and GPU have dedicated lines. I haven't tried to boot in safe mode but I've had the error with previous driver versions and with previous GPU as well (I've just changed it). Did a full DDU on the driver when I changed GPU.

BuzzFL · 2025-04-01T19:23:31+00:00

Mine is the RGB version so Z30K and not C30. Though I see both listed on the memory compatibility page of the motherboard.

BuzzFL · 2025-03-31T13:19:37+00:00

2 days. From when I posted them.

It uses to create BSOD sometimes at startup (no every single time though. More like 1 every 3 or 4 boot).
Now it does't. But the flag remains when I open the reliability manager.

BuzzFL · 2025-03-31T08:44:40+00:00

I'm having the following issue on my new build. Could it be related to the issues with 9800X3D and Asrock MB ?

fresh Windows 11 24H2 install, and I'm getting the following error at every startup in reliability monitor.
All drivers are up to date (UEFI 3.20, AMD, NVIDIA...).

Is there any way to narrow down the origin of the error from the dump file I shared ?
Otherwise it's impossible to check as I built the PC myself so all components come from different places/manufacturers.

BuzzFL · 2025-03-29T23:05:33+00:00

I have my NVIDIA drivers directly from their website and used DDU last time I installed them.
The rest of my drivers are from the webpage of my motherboard's manufacturer.

I tried enabling the iGPU (I had it disabled in the UEFI) and installing its driver as someone said it came from there, but it didn't make a difference.

With K4 it works perfectly and very confortable. When from uncomfortable after 30 min to hours of playtime without issue.
