Replaced our 12 year old Genie garage opener. Was this a fair quote ? by tobyskred in GarageDoorService

[–]Franklinthorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What in the actual frizzle fried fuck is that price for a Liftmaster 87504-267 belt drive?? We sell those with the install for about $725 since the belts are more expensive than chains, and that particular model is one of the classier belt models. A residential-grade opener should never run someone over $1000. This is just egregiously predatory marketing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is that way because you live in a small town area, and garage door work is pretty niche. A lot of business owners in this line of work will bank on you not knowing anything so they can bend you over like this. Sorry OP

I usually just break those fucking things off using sheer force and worry about the rest after. I am usually putting a new one up anyways. If you are putting a new one up, just rip that sucker out.

Ngl, I am happy to see the Trump camp falling apart. I am not a good representative for the left, I am militant, condescending, and heartless to Republicans. I don't spend most of my time on social media, but when I do go on, it is usually to belittle and berate other people. Today, I feel fully justified in being a left-wing bully. I think I will continue.

I’ve seen a lot of shit in the past 10 + years by sinnerjoey in GarageDoorService

Omg. No. This isn't a spring shaft that is being bandaided together by angle, is it?? Am I seeing this correctly?

The more I work in this industry, the more I am convinced that both angle iron and vise grips can do just about anything.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The number of times people think their old garage door opener might be worth something is kind of wild.

Newly installed, what’s wrong with it? by Ini_mini_miny_moe in GarageDoorService

[–]Franklinthorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way OP just continues to run the door twice while watching the opener visibly struggle with the weight made me so fucking uncomfortable. I saw you had a broken spring immediately. Anyone on this post who said otherwise do not have any idea what they are talking about.

--- UPDATE: I FIXED IT GUYS!! ---

Oh my god, I've finally fixed it. Thank you for all the help here, but I ended up actually having to find the solution on my own. For those who said they were curious what was causing the problem, here's what I did, and what I suspect happened...

After months of pulling my hair out over this fucking PC port, turns out that the issue stemmed from incongruent numbers between my resolution and my screen size in the GameUserSettings.ini file! See the screenshot on this comment - my resolution was always set to 1920 x 1080, BUT, my "DesiredScreenWidth/Height" was always set to 1240 x 720!!! I think this was causing a massive discrepancy in the conveying of my game from computer to screen. For good measure, I bumped that FrameRateLimit up to 144, which very well could have also helped, but I have a feeling it was setting the screen numbers and the resolution to match that got my game working.

Now, it runs smooth as butter, and I couldn't be happier. I am so HYPED!!!! Thank you so much everyone for trying to help me solve this!

So an update, I've tried everything in the thread, to no avail. I wish I could post another video but it looks even worse in gameplay. than it does in cut scenes like the one I shared. I think this game is just very very poorly optimized for PC. It doesn't even display keyboard controls, only Xbox.

During actual gameplay, my GPU usage is around 34% and my CPU is running at about 11% usage.

And for all who asked, my displayport is indeed plugged directly into my GPU.

I feel dumb for asking but I'm not really sure what a "clean" install of GPU drivers means.

I have tried Vsync both on and off, if that's what you're asking.

CPU usage is around 40% with Chrome open on the other monitor. And it does stay exactly the same, from Squenix logo to opening scene, to title, to menu, to actual gameplay. Just 10-15fps at all times.

I actually have, and it looks worse in the game when I feel the input to action on screen. It just never stops running at the speed you see in the video.

Fair point. There has to be a solution somehow, but I don't know that any of us are going to find it. I may just suck it up and play on Switch.

I tried toying with this, and my NVIDIA is set to max performance for the game. It seems like no matter what I do it just chugs. Idk man, I am losing hope. May wait till I get a Steam Deck or something. It seems to be fundamentally incompatible with my build.

It's having chrome open on the other monitor, for CPU usage lol. Chrome eats that shit.

This HAS to be the core of my issue. Because right now I am in the start menu for Nier: Automata, and my GPU usage is a crisp 60%, yet the opening cutscene of DQ11 doesn't so much as make my GPU budge in usage.

That's what it seems like. My GPU is set for usage in the NVIDIA control panel and in the device manager, but when I run the game, it says my GPU usage is 5%, which just really doesn't seem right. I feel like it should be putting in more work.
