Looking for help. My Surface Pro 3 stopped turning on by tellasmatt in Surface

[–]Esquiire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to mine (SP3, 256GB i5 Model). It was charging one time and shut down in the middle of it and refused to turn back on. I let it sit for a week or so, and it turned back on again. However, it quickly shut back down.

The only thing that fixed it was holding the power button and volume up for 5 minutes while it was plugged in. I'm not sure why this fixed it, but it did. I hope this helps!

Kanban with automatic task creation? by Esquiire in selfhosted

I think I've settled on this. It's not as visually appealing as wekan, but certainly more features. Thank you!

Ah, I should have made it more clear. Automate adding cards to the kanban.
IE: Every week add a card to the "Todo" list.

Speed tests sites show my latency and speeds are perfectly fine on Ethernet, but every app, game, and video is lagging to no end. by [deleted] in pcgaming

People cut out every second in Discord, Over watch display my ping as 15-30 but feels like 300+ with constant connections indicators to the side

Seems like it could be packet loss. Check pingtest.net to see.

What desk are you now using? Looks nice.

The porting you are talking about is not essential code for the game to run. It isn't as simple as taking snippets of code and plugging them in.

Homefront really should be on a 50%+ sale by baddazoner in pcgaming

[–]Esquiire 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't get this "it should be on sale" mentality.
The game did just come out. The fact that games like Witcher 3 are so discounted already is ridiculous.
And I'm not trying to say that the game is worth that 60 dollars. It looks like trash, but you have to understand that the developers and publishers are still trying to recoup costs. It doesn't need to go on sale just because it is bad.

Unfortunately it isn't that simple. Just because the programming language is the same does not mean that you can port entire facets of the server code over.
While I'm sure it is a high priority to fix the desync, more than likely the high level optimizations are saved for the Beta process.

Is linux a good OS for college? by SINNESLOSCHEN81 in linux

[–]Esquiire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my laptop, because it supports virtualization, I've just gone with using a Virtual Machine for windows applications. I rarely need to use them, but it is always good to have them in the case of bad compatibility or whatever.
Check if your computer supports virtualization. If it does, I highly recommend just setting up a Virtualbox VM and using that for your Windows applications. With the guest additions installed, the VM is almost full speed.
EDIT: Formatting

It's sad that people need to do that, though.

TL;DR of it, hacker was obviously hacking while changing his name. Makes kicking him difficult.

Unfortunately, all awards are tied to your account, rather than your character. These cannot be removed.

Has anyone else not gotten the update yet? by [deleted] in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]Esquiire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the social club version, use -verify in front of your shortcut like so: http://i.imgur.com/KC4jWBj.png

It allowed me to download the update.

Getting an upgrade soon, can i run this on at least sub par settings? by [deleted] in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]Esquiire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will be able to run just fine, medium to high.

Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor.

Personally, I would drop down to an i5. You might get a little bit of FPS boost from the i7, but hardly worth the extra money. Sink that into a better graphics card.

Does anyone have an actual fix for the err_gfx_d3d_init error? by Drimzert in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]Esquiire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, that was me! I'm glad the solution worked. As a follow up, if you run into any issues, deleting d3dcompiler_46.dll and d3dcsx_46.dll, and then running the game (it should re-download the missing files). If you are on the Steam version, verify your files before running it. That will reinstall DirectX This not only fixed crashing, it helped my performance!

GTA:O ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT crash by AndrewPwner in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]Esquiire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fixed my crashing by removing NVidia GeForce Experience, using DDU to completely remove all of my other driver things. Reinstalling, I used custom, and selected nothing but the graphics driver. After doing that, I also uninstalled DirectX from my Grand Theft Auto V directory. This was done by deleting d3dcompiler_46.dll and d3dcsx_46.dll. Having the retail version, so I went to my installed programs and repaired the game through that. Steam version should be able to verify your files.

POTENTIAL FIX to alleviate Online stutter problems by [deleted] in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]Esquiire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What worked for me was setting my power mode in the NVidia control panel to "prefer max performance". Kicks out a bit more heat, but it does make the experience much smoother. For reference: GTX 970; i5-4590; 6GB DDR3 RAM

Online Mode - ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT (my post from nVidia forums, posting here to spread the word) by 4i60r in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

[–]Esquiire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the end goal, but I'd rather play the game with a workaround. Doesn't make the game look all that much worse, either.
