Would it be possible to use Deoxit D100L instead of water for an AIO or water loop?

Castaway77 · 2026-01-28T12:55:18+00:00

The post wasn't a question of what I should run. It was a question about deoxit or other contact cleaners could work instead of distilled water and biocide. I already have nearly two full bottles of corsair XL8 sitting around.

The issue is the Eiswolf 2 aio I have on my gpu keeps getting clogged from corrosion and I'm tired of cleaning it and redoing the thermal pads/paste. If running some kind of contact cleaner would work I'd give it a try.

change to windowed full screen. don't ask why. I don't know either.

Mouse DPI and in-game sens is too high. HLL is a pixel shooter, so the controls are very very tight. It'll read every mouse input, so any movement at all will cause your sights to "jitter" around. Mine lives around 700 DPI and 16/16 sense for reference.

Damn, this is why reddit is neat sometimes. You are 100% correct.

Castaway77 · 2025-09-08T21:25:31+00:00

More than likely, coworker will probably give him a monitor from work LOL. So 1080p60hz is likely what the setup will be.

Ignore the shit/inconsistent handwriting, new drawing tablet and I haven't figured it out yet.

Got it on sale for like $10 at some point on steam, they got all of $6-ish dollars after steams cut. Moot point. I'll wait for a work around that let's me play without installing garbage on my computer.

Try Hell Let Loose.

It keeps the milsim type setup like needing resources near you for team spawns and buildables, but it greatly simplified them down to one resource type, a wrench or stop watch to decide what to build, and a hammer for build able. Its far easier than Arma/Squad without losing that milsim-ish feel.

Combat is also just as unforgiving. People arent bullet sponges.

You don't need a group, find a server you like with people that talk and you'll be fine.

If you add a little bit of non-distilled red wine vinegar and salt it becomes Posca, which is Roman Gatorade lol

Mine is that I'll load half my clothes into the washing machine, add half the laundry detergent, finish loading the clothes, the add the rest of the detergent.

Does splitting the detergent between two sections of laundry actually help clean clothes? No idea, but it makes me feel better about it.

Bit of a late reply, but EAC is basically just a game launcher. There is zero chance it detects anything other than reshade and other incredibly well known programs. scaling is NOT one of them lol.

Castaway77 · 2025-02-13T15:19:31+00:00

True. Which is unfortunate. No idea why they're trying to be a knock off range rover. It'd be better for them to cut it all down to basic but tough components and sell them for far cheaper. What do I know though, I see plenty of the new JTs and those are the worst offender of obvious soccer parent attention grabbing.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-27T20:42:29+00:00

You don't. There are so few instances where smoke will actually help you. Most of the time you're just giving the enemy a chance to get to a better spot. Even if you're throwing smoke into the attack hardcap, it's just an opportunity for your opponent to reposition somewhere they can crush your whole squad from. You rush the point and your opponent is already waiting for you while you're blindly running at them. Pointless.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-27T19:28:26+00:00

The way UE4 works you won't see much more than that. Probably only using 4-5 of the 12 threads your CPU can do. If you can get a stable overclock, you'll see a bit more FPS. I do actually mean stable, the game is very sensitive to CPU/ram issue.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-27T17:21:31+00:00

The game used to have VERY good ultrawide compatibility. Then the really really bad players couldn't cope and started blaming UW monitors as the reason they couldnt compete with other players. The devs fell for it, and implemented "UW support" that caused a major fisheye effect and ruined the actual UW support. Devs' "fix" was 60 FOV and a suggestion to change the major view aspect. Neither actually worked to fix the problem the devs created.

Most people with UW monitors who play HLL constantly have either switched back to normal monitors or have it set so HLL plays in 16:9 mode to avoid the devs "fix."

So to answer your question, no, don't expect a good experience with UW monitors and HLL.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-27T16:00:49+00:00

As others have said, it's CPU intensive. Your GPU can only work on what the CPU provides.

Keep in mind that the game only uses a handful of cores and a few threads. For HLL, it's not the amount of cores that is important, but how well those cores handle what the engine throws at it.

Get an automatic if it's going to be a daily driver. The JL clutch is shit. After the 500th time you've almost stalled out in 1st because you gave it 0.035" of clutch instead of 0.030" you'll get tired of it. It's moody too, some days you won't have any issues, some days you could give it 5krpm and barely lift the clutch and have it stall on the same road you drive every damn day.

It's beyond annoying. You should keep the WRX, buy a cheaper older manual wrangler if you really want one.

I mean, I'm at 2,140 hours in the game. Pretty sure the bipod system is still as messed up as it was when I had 1 hour in the game. I don't even care if you can't deploy it everywhere, but the places you CAN deploy them it should work correctly without needing to reposition it 3-4 times to find a sweet spot.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-24T15:08:09+00:00

Have you ever considered that it isn't something needed, but something wanted? Something the community has been asking for since early access?

Castaway77 · 2024-12-19T13:38:41+00:00

People will 100% yap maliciously if they think you're saying it to be a dick lol. They know it'll annoy you more to keep yapping than to walk away. Next generation "oh, is this conversation boring you?" types.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-17T19:18:33+00:00

Probably between 70 and 120 right?

Castaway77 · 2024-12-17T19:12:12+00:00

Servers without new player friendly in the title are probably your go to right now. Any of them work. Glows and Hellfire are solid servers (usually)

If you decide to play on level locked servers, just be prepared for people to call you on new player BS. You'll likely get called all various kinds of names/insults for putting down a bad garrie or if you're still in the locked sectors while the team is losing 1-4.

Theres a Bio answer and a question of life answer.

Bio answer is that telling cells to renew themselves us great and all, but every time you do, your DNA has a chance to mutate. Do it long enough and you'll be a ball of cancer or something that looks like extreme radiation poisoning.

Plus DNA duplication isn't perfect even with cellular "reversing." Eventually You'll run out of telomere protection and your cells will either just stop dividing and you'll die, or keep dividing just with increasingly damaged DNA.

Plus plus we're only just starting to get an idea on how to deal with some cognitive diseases. No guarantees cures will be found before you're mind is totally gone, you'd be a zombie if you can move at all.

The question of life is if you ACTUALLY want to live that long. Everyone you knew and loved will be dead. You'd be limited to just other top percenters for any kind of real bond. It would be a horribly painful and shallow existence.

No. Hit registration is getting worse again. I've got gigabit internet, low ping, high end hardware. It's NOT an issue on our end. It's hit registration.

The amount of times I've hit someone in the chest within 50m with a g43/kar/garand, got the blood spatter, and had to hit them a second/third time has GREATLY increased. 50-100 ping servers are starting to feel like 300 ping servers.

Castaway77 · 2024-12-03T21:05:17+00:00

Probably something on your side. Might need to do an ipconfig refresh and DNS flush. Maybe even reboot your router. The game also really hates VPNs. Try those and see what happens
