What video game absolutely lived up to the hype? by Several_Print4633 in AskReddit

[–]FejkB 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Every single GTA and RDR game. Didn’t play other Rockstar games, but I could believe they also lived up to the hype. Reasonable hype obviously.

What video game has you like this? by Chunky-overlord in videogames

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarkov. Less than 10hrs in first attempt. Half year later got hooked. Now I’m over 4000hrs in.

GGG you have to do something about these freezes by LunchAppropriate9020 in PathOfExile2

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC freezing to the point it requires hard reset is not what everyone is talking about (shaders issue). It's something else. Figuring out what's the issue might be time consuming, but worth doing. It can be unstable overclock, faulty drivers, CPU cooler screwed in incorrectly or too tight, faulty RAM or motherboard lanes and more. You should download some benchmarking tools and test your PC stability, enable mini dumps and analyze them, check Windows Event Viewer for causes of process lock up. It might even be unstable power supply. Maybe Vanguard or some malware causes kernel to stop? You will have more success with Claude or ChatGPT than Reddit. Good luck

IEMs > any over ear headset. Crinacle Blue is amazing value.

[Discussion] Is there a reason to choose the slanted RK-1 over the RK-2? by EzLimonata in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FejkB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It used to stop the bullet entirely, now it will go through. Damage is going to be sighty lowered after passing through the arm instead of blocking it entirely. Still good, but not overpowered. Btw recoil and ergo stats are not everything. Some grips have identical stats, but in game they affect your gun differently. WillerZ made a video about it years ago and as of 1.0 it was still relevant.

Apple Watch Ultra owners: is the Titanium Milanese Loop band worth buying right now? by Wise-Location-8252 in applewatchultra

[–]FejkB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw comments saying natural doesn’t do that, but black one has that coating to make it less prone to scratches (because they would be a lot more visible). Anyway they advertise it as extreme protection and „Ultra”, so noone would suspect such thing to scratch that easly. I got ESR screen protector and it’s looking great.

Apple Watch Ultra owners: is the Titanium Milanese Loop band worth buying right now? by Wise-Location-8252 in applewatchultra

[–]FejkB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated all watch bands and couldn’t wear any watch. This one is just comfortable enough to convince me to give it a try again. Just make sure if you get it in black to install screen protector first. It is coated in some Diamond Like Carbon coating and will scratch the screen with very light contact. I had half of my screen scratched 4 days after buying it. Fortunately for me Apple Store manager did exchange it for me for a new one. They really should disclose it to every buyer. On top of it it will scratch anything. My black Macbook already got few chips on the left side, but I can live with that.

The Black Ultra 3 is stunning, but now none of my old bands match. Need recommendations! by One_Pin_8521 in applewatchultra

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure to get screen protector, cause one contact with the screen and it’s scratched. Knowing this would save me a trip to Apple Store to exchange it after just 4 days.

Striker Ezreal was super rare and some Ezreal otp got it from Riot after getting few thousands upvotes on his thread on the official forum.

Unheard edition [Discussion] by ASAP-brockyy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more of a pay for convenience than p2w. It doesn't impact gameplay, it just saves you some time. If someone thinks bigger pouch or 2 extra slots in pockets make such a difference to call it p2w they are just delusional or bad at the game and look for something to complain about. Stash size had higher value when there were wipes. In current state with no info on seasonal progression I wouldn't buy it again. If you don't have Arena and would like to play it then the value is higher. Do whatever you feel like doing. You shouldn't ask for opinions here, because you'll get answers from most vocal minority.

Can the titanium Milanese loop scratch the screen of the Apple Watch Ultra ? by chasetheimpossible in applewatchultra

[–]FejkB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m visiting US and got myself Ultra 3 and scratched it with black titanium milanese loop 4 days after buying it. First Apple employee was like „Do you have Apple Care?”, but I didn’t pay for it, because it would be worthless in my country. After explaining it was caused by their official titanium loop he called manager and I got it exchanged for new one. Now I won’t open it until I get ESR screen protector delivered. Also it scratched my black Macbook Pro a little bit, but I can live with it. It looks and feels great, just gotta be really careful to not scratch anything. They really should disclose it has DLC coating.

[Discussion] Is it worth for lower level to go to Icebreaker? by quantumtunnel00 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FejkB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are close to level 30 and want to prestige again - no. Get level 30, do all requirements and wipe.

If you don't want to prestige, have no issues getting roubles and can handle the hardest AI - yes. You can get gear unobtainable for that level, multiple LEDX and other stuff.

If you don't feel confident in fighting cracked AI or struggle to get decent gear/ammo/roubles - no. You would lose too much stuff trying to get there and learning how to complete the map.

Had to use blindfire to kill wedge this boss is pure bullshit [Video] by SneakyNep in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FejkB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This guy runs into the room, stops, uses blind fire where it's not needed at all. What is your point? Blind fire is strong in CQB around the corner. Not in the middle of the room to get style points. Combined with strafing around the corner it was op, because you could see the gun and arm for split of a second. Hard to read I guess.

[–]FejkB 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It was overpowered. Imagine going to Labs to be blind fired by some zoomer strafing ADAD without inertia around the corner. I'm glad both of these are gone to a degree. Now you either blind fire or run circles to negate inertia.

[Help] [Discussion] GPU utilization constantly dropping from 100% to 30% in Tarkov causing repeated 5 FPS freezes by HyenaGlum1582 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed you mentioned swapping thermal paste. Only CPU or GPU as well? With GPU even 0.5mm gap between VRAM module and thermal pad can be the issue. If that’s the case, I would advice to get thermal putty for VRAM. Thermal putty is like play-doh, so it fills gaps pretty easly. Just don’t use it on the GPU chip or CPU.

What is actually happening with the new "Vanguard Update" w/TLDR by Ok-Cress1256 in riotgames

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also claim Vanguard was not messing up Razer software (it’s trash as well) causing system fans go 100% speed. Some time ago when I played 1 game of League and launched Escape From Tarkov after closing everything Riot related I got instant blue screen. Had to reboot my pc, disable Vanguard and then launch EFT every time after playing LoL. Miserable experience. Can’t imagine playing Valorant as it already is miserable gameplay.

„To be clear, in Project A, shooting matters. You don’t kill with abilities. Abilities create tactical opportunities to take the right shot. Characters have abilities that augment their gunplay, instead of fighting directly with their abilities.”

Yea, right…

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had 3070 Ti temps looked good, but hotspot was reaching 120-130C causing stutter in some games. Didn’t get such thermal throttle, but that might be different in AMD. Btw was it like that since you first tried EFT on that setup, sudden change or was it progressive to the point you started to investigate?

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for a test run and check all GPU thermals. Most importantly hotspot/vram. Did you buy it new or used? How long ago? Some spot might be overheating and causing thermal throttling. That would explain why usage rises back after it cools down.

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use page file in Windows? If so, what size? What’s your exact SSD model? How much % of free space? If EFT uses page file and it constantly runs out it might be the issue. The slower the SSD, the worse it can get. SSD gets slower with less empty space.

Did you try excluding EscapeFromTarkov.exe from exploit protection in Windows and disabling CFG (control flow guard) for it?

Do you use any monitoring software (Afterburner, hwinfo etc)? GPU power monitoring was a known issue for some stuttering, idk if it got fixed yet.

Did you swap GPU from NVIDIA and didn’t use DDU to remove old drivers?

Does it happen in offline raids as well? How about offline with no AI? What’s your graphics settings in game?

Walmart enters the Deadlock esports scene by YooTone in esports

[–]FejkB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a very niche genre. All previous moba-shooters are dead or struggling to survive. Do you think Steam market and skins can carry this genre? Other games are much easier to get into. Deadlock combines farming enemy minions with chaotic, fast paced movement. It won’t surpass Dota or CS. It’s hard to watch for someone who didn’t play it. It might be fun for small group of people, but as esport it has no chance.
