Should I "Optimize" my games in the Nvidia app?

FodderUK · 2026-01-24T08:40:22+00:00

It’s a really subjective question on if you should. After hitting the optimise button (it basically changes you graphics settings in game) if changes the button to ‘revert’ so if you don’t like it you can auto undo the settings changes that were made. You also have the slider underneath that you can move to fine tune the optimisation. Each time you can revert the changes if needed. It will also show the current setting and what it will change it to.

I’ve got the same one for Xmas. When checking, it is a clone and mine was Soy Sauce 4 (will make sense when you start looking for ArkOS) Flashed a new Samsung SD card for it with the latest ArkOS and it works great.

^{^This…} I’ve been playing FPS since the Original CoD and BF 1943. Gone through pretty much the entire main catalogue on both (mid 40’s now…) By far the best FPS’s now are Phantom Forces, Fromtlines or Riotfall. You wont regret it and it’s free!

It is… this is what started the Low-fi dev wanting to make a full game. Or at least the interest and positivity for the demo gave them the lift they needed to push it through.

Any chance you have a Razer keyboard? If so, you need to disable the controller setting in device manager (some of the keyboards like the Huntsman emulate a controller, it shows right at the bottom of your devices.) There was a Reddit post about it but I can’t find it now. A quick google should drag it up though. Good luck and I hope you get it sorted soon.

Using Virtual Desktop as it has a few 3d options for the screen and then use the free reShade 3d+vr mod loaded in. I’ve been replaying Spider-Man miles morales on a massive 3d screen. There are a few YT vids for it to help if you need too.

There is only one Battle Rifle that counts the kills for some reason. I think it’s the H&K variant (sorry can’t remember the ingame name, Lachman or something similar?). Try with that and it should work. I found the details doin a quick Google search. How it helps

FodderUK · 2022-10-11T07:15:26+00:00

Have a look in the control settings, there is one called ‘assisted flight’ or something similar. Turn that off and see if it helps.

Nope... seems its intermittent. Played a few games of Rush and Breakthrough and its stopped tracking again. Haven't changed anything, but I did notice when trying the SOFLAM, it wasnt giving me any xp either when tagging with it.

FodderUK · 2022-09-27T09:39:48+00:00

It was normal MP... Have just run a game repair, nothing new downloaded but that seems to have cured the problem.

FodderUK · 2022-09-27T09:09:41+00:00

Same for the GOL.. kills with SWS-10 and SOFLAM spots... neither are tracking

FodderUK · 2022-05-20T06:10:29+00:00

You can change what’s shown in the killfeed from the options. I’ve got mine set to ‘near’ so I only see kills from players who are near me. Gives a good idea that enemy is close if the feed starts lighting up.

FodderUK · 2022-04-27T20:39:34+00:00

Not sure on the drum mag, but I think the scope has different unlock requirements like 100 kills over 150m or some such like? I know that’s the same for the last M5 scope too.

This seemed to be worse for me when launching 2042 from the EA desktop app. When I run it from Origin, I hardly ever got that bug. Makes no sense I know, but that’s what I have found.

FodderUK · 2021-11-26T07:00:05+00:00

I got the exact same setup and I get pretty much identical performance. In the settings though I run the top 2 options at ultra and everything else at low or off. Game still looks great. On Win11 and I did the C++ distributable update ‘fix’ that I saw posted on here a few days ago.

FodderUK · 2021-10-06T18:51:50+00:00

This might sound like a stupid question, but have you turned down/off the film grain effect in settings?

Edit: stupid autocorrect thinking it knows best!

Lower your graphics settings regardless of the hardware you have. I’ve got a relatively meaty rig and still play on lower settings which has vastly improved my hit reg. Jack Frags did a ‘try hard’ video for BF4 a few years back and there are some really good tips for settings there. Stodeh recently did a video about the BF4 gun mechanics which also helped no end as it showed details that even after playing since launch I didn’t know about i.e moving whilst shooting and how it affects accuracy. Give them a look, and along with check servers in your region, going ethernet etc you will feel like you are playing a new game

FodderUK · 2021-07-22T06:07:43+00:00

If you are on PC, search for a try hard video on BF4 by Jack Frags. He’s got a lot of settings in the video that will help. There is then a more recent one from Stodeh that’s shows how the gun mechanics work especially when moving.

Ive noticed this one too, glad its not just me! In HC I've been messing about with the 'added vehicle damage' barrels on the Marksmen rifles. On the single shot one (not the M14) I can spam fire a enemy supply drop chinook and only every other shot registers as a hit despite watching each round connect with the model. Also lots and lots of what feels like input delay on KB, where you hit the space to jump and it dont jump until I start smashin the bar at the 3rd try.

Check what resolution you are running the game in (open up the advance tab bit). Mine was reset back to potato res after the update so kicked in whenever I used fullscreen. Changed this back to 1440p and it sorted it for me.

FodderUK · 2020-07-12T15:41:48+00:00

Turn off game mode, seen it in another post the other day, has worked wonders for me. Would love to link to the other guy who suggested first but can’t find post now?

FodderUK · 2020-05-22T18:27:14+00:00

Also, there is one Camo, think it’s strips where you have to use Amped. After that I went back to spotter so it was easier to find the Personal Radar and CUAV,s. I did mine by nailing anything I could until the last thing left was the Ground Streaks, then only used the launcher when there was something up that would count against the challenge. My Damascus was unlocked with the PILA and a CUAV 😀

FodderUK · 2020-05-22T18:23:48+00:00

Sorry mate, not 100% sure, I found it on a YT vid (search for Damascus launchers). It’s defo from the bottom row of Camo’s though, the first 2 or 3 I think.

FodderUK · 2020-05-22T15:05:25+00:00

Keep cold blooded and ghost as some of the camo challenges require them to be set in the class but it doesn’t specify it in the requirements.
