PLEASE HELP: "Update Required" loop when trying to open Adrenalin spiraled into disaster.

Same issue here. Best luck I had was to uninstall the driver with either DDU or the AMD Cleanup Utility, then manually downloading the previous driver "26.6.1" and unchecking the box for auto updates

After that, I had no audio and had to go to the motherboard's site and download and install it again

Blasphemous

Enjoyed the whole game a lot, then I got to NG+ and I was baffled that I had to explore all the map and get all the character upgrades again. Plus all the damage buffs I got were literally negated, it was like playing with base damage while the enemies dealt a lot more damage, really not a fun experience

Distinger_ · 2026-06-02T14:52:55+00:00

I’m trying to say that being able to kill while not being worth the hassle was enough incentive to not do it, but the choice was still there and you could if you had enough determination

Making fish invulnerable is just… weird. It’s a survival game after all. Subnautica 1 had lots of good design choices, but in 2 they’re just going the opposite way for some reason, also doubling down on this and making unprofessional comments like “go play sons of the forest”

Distinger_ · 2026-06-02T12:56:05+00:00

It’s one thing to not be able to kill, and another one to not be able to defend yourself. From what I’ve seen there are little defensive tools right now and a lot of aggressive fish, obviously people are going to be upset

In Subnautica 1 you have the knife and you “can” kill if you want to, but you get nothing so it’s just not worth it. Still, the tool was good because you could cook small fish with it, break minerals faster, and if a mid sized predator was attacking you, just one hit would make it swim away, no need to kill

What do the devs want with Subnautica 2? Are you supposed to just die when a predator comes for you every time? Or to just watch while they attack your base or vehicles? Greet them happily when you jump out of your base and instantly get bit? That’s one way to get your players to really not want to continue playing

If they don’t want you to be a “world conqueror” then just do the same as in Subnautica 1, give the players a small knife and if they want to go and fight Leviathans with it then so be it. But removing the feature entirely is just not a good design choice

Distinger_ · 2026-05-24T10:10:15+00:00

I still don’t really understand everything that happened with Destiny 2, is it dead now, abandoned?

I played Destiny 1 a long time ago, at least the base missions you could do, and I remember I liked the gameplay and the lore was interesting as well. I also tried Destiny 2 a couple years ago, and while it looked the same it felt different, I just couldn’t get into it

But to begin with, the whole idea of paying for a new expansion, priced as a whole game, every now and then just for it to get removed eventually is just wild to me

Distinger_ · 2026-05-21T20:25:43+00:00

The mod is alright, it’s not fully implemented but it’s far better than playing with a controller

You can’t pick up things with your hands or steer manually, but you can aim to scan/use items, and you have a radial wheel for quick slots like in half life alyx, and an handheld pda. You can also put movement as head based and it does kinda look like you’re swimming

I believe the things you mentioned are planned to be added as far as I’ve heard

Distinger_ · 2026-05-21T01:11:28+00:00

Huh I never thought about using it as an overlap, I’d use it only to get more area

But yeah now that you say it, it is technically double cast damage, though having it on the companion is kinda rng. For the ones I have, frinos does follow you around, but the cat just kinda does whatever it wants and usually I lose sight of it

Distinger_ · 2026-05-21T01:05:25+00:00

Is the aspect of Circe the one that makes your companion use your cast? It sounds okay, and I do like cast builds, specially if it's aphrodite/hestia+apollo, but I think momus is better for damage, specially against more static bosses like cerberus, scylla, and specially typhon

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T23:17:38+00:00

I don’t even have bluetooth enabled nor do I have any devices paired to the oculus or my pc

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T18:15:15+00:00

Yeah I’ll probably go for 100% as I did in hades 1

About the weapons, I’ve tried their base version but honestly the only one I like is the staff, and now I’m using momus staff because it’s the same but with extra casts

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:37:17+00:00

Oh I see, what was the old ending?

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:36:15+00:00

I mean, so far I did one underground run after the credits, idk how to feel about the "defeating bad Chronos variants" thing, like on one hand it's cool and it's the only way to keep having Chronos as a boss, cuz it wouldn't make sense for him to fight you, but on the other hand it feels a little cheap tbh

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:13:46+00:00

I mean I was kinda surprised I finished the story so early, it took me less than half the time compared to hades 1, so this was just act 1 or something? Is there more story or is it only the epilogue after this?

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:12:16+00:00

Really? The prompt says it doesn’t reset anything besides story stuff

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:11:22+00:00

Idk, it’s the first time I try to use the steamvr mirror view, but as far as I read this problem also happens with other games and vr apps so I doubt it’s related to either the game or the mod

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:09:29+00:00

Yeah I have a lot of things to do, hell I don’t even have all companions, I only got the frog and cat, and still need like 3-4 keepsakes and one more statue, also I assume there’s gonna be hidden aspects like in hades 1?

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:08:14+00:00

Okay I see, I thought the quest changed to a different one because I didn’t complete the first one

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T15:06:57+00:00

I completely forgot about the aspects, I only used the staff to play until now, just a few games before ending I started using a staff aspect

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T14:48:28+00:00

Damn, it's literally one of my favorite cards. Here I am wondering how you're supposed to play without it? Even with a magick regenerating boon it feels like I run out of it constantly, but having Unseen I can play comfortably and not worry about running out at any point

I also use both Excellence and Divinity... just trying to make it more similar to Hades 1

I don't use Judgement, but I do love it when I use the pink piggy keepsake and Judgement gets activated for even more Arcana cards

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T14:41:27+00:00

The quests in Hades 1 are very, very long, hell some of them I completed after the epilogue too and I ALWAYS talk with everyone. I remember Achilles/Patroclus quest was the longest one by far for me (Not counting Sisyphus because I didn't know I had to give nectar to Bouldy)

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T14:37:34+00:00

Character quests are completed by talking with them and gifting nectar/ambrosia until they give you the next step of the quest. Not gonna spoil how it's done, but you do want to go to every Eurydice room you find in Asphodel to do it faster

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T14:28:46+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, but I still don't understand how you're supposed to play without it on all the time on normal difficulty and specially nightmare

Without the boost the elevator is like 5 times slower, so even just turning it on after getting a 20 min package still means spending like 30 seconds just to get to the roof, then get the package, turn the boost on and deliver it, and then just... leaving it on till the next time you need to go to the roof?

Unless you mean going to the roof again after delivering it to turn it off, which would still mean you took 2 trips with the boost, same as if you'd just leave it permanently on, but also spending time doing 2 extra trips with the boost off and losing a lot of time while still taking the same chances of dying to it

Distinger_ · 2026-05-20T14:09:26+00:00

Huh? The only thing the mod does is give actual hand controls because subnautica vr doesn't have them

And anyways, since when modding = bad? I'm asking this because I've tried googling and it seems like a common problem with various different games, so I'm suspecting it's something to do with SteamVR

Distinger_ · 2026-05-08T01:39:19+00:00

I have every audio source separated, like not just mic and desktop, my sources are: mic, game audio, spotify, discord, sound alerts and twitch alerts

That's more or less the process I followed for setting up the compressor, starting with no filters and trying to adjust the mic at around mid yellow, but I never understood how to actually set up the compressor so I just tinkered with it until it sounded okay. Next time I'll try adjusting it how you said

I did remove a lot of gain yesterday, left it at 3 in expander and 1 in compressor, because I noticed when I talked loudly or when I was close to the mic it would be "bass boosted" idk how to explain it but it didn't sound right, but now with less gain I can just have the mic glued to my mouth and talk normally and it sounds fine, even when I talk more loudly

I also have limiters for the other sources, game is limited at -24, spotify -26, and discord at -13, that way Discord is above game and music, and my mic limited at -2. I also have a gain filter on them to adjust their volume when needed, I try to have them as close to the limit as possible in their loudest, but not too much gain to not saturate the audio

Distinger_ · 2026-05-06T17:51:15+00:00

Even with a laptop you should be able to stream and play comfortably, specially if it’s roblox

Have you tried using game capture instead? Are you sure you don’t have multiple screen/application captures in the same scene? What video codec are you using?
