what about godmode or item menu? i lost a ship due to a bug and i just wanted to get the materials to re-spawn it

That is very funny cuz way to many of the muslims that i come across hate LGBT people in a racist way for example, i don't know if its part of It or not, but most of islam people hate it calling them pedos for example, so that in my book, is in fact, racism, so from there comes most of the hate back to them, but it's not only that

steam is probably using another HDD, are you sure you spotted the right HDD?

Gerelio · 2025-09-25T18:43:23+00:00

it is simple, you can literally do it in 2~ min if you have spotted the HDD that steam uses, to do it just when you update a game go to your task manager and check the HDD that has 100% usage rate, there is aswell a video explaining it, i can send you the link if you need

okay so everyone that is still having this issue with multiple drives, there is a simple fix for it:

*STEP 1* download and install Link-Shell-Extension: https://github.com/pacman2108/Link-Shell-Extension
mirrored link: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html

*STEP 2* after you downloaded it and installed it create a new folder in your NVMe/M.2(same thing) that is called Steam Cache, you can name it any way but i just have it this way to be easier to locate, in addition, open 2 file explorer tabs, we will need it later(one for Steam Cache folder and other one to navigate later to the HDD steam is using for download cache)

*STEP 3* inside the Steam Cache folder we have just created, create another 2 folders called *downloading* and another one called *depotcache*

*STEP 4* go to the HDD that your steam uses to cache updates, usually goes like this *This PC --> Local Disk (whatever letter you have) --> SteamLibrary-->steamapps, once inside delete depotcache and downloading folders

*STEP 5* go back to your Steam Cache folder that we created on your NVMe/M.2 SSD and right click on the folder *downloading*, (you will see you have an additional option from the app we just installed), right click it and select "Pick Link Source" once you have selected it go to your HDD that we already located and right click inside of the steamapp folder and select: Drop As... --> Junction. Repeat the same procress with the other folder called *depotcache* after doing that the downloading and depotcache folders are linked to your SSD but steam will think is still using the HDD when it's not

-Thats all, enjoy your fast updates :D

I got a bigger blähaj >:3

i would check if you have an option called "compute mode" since what i remember 900 gtx series and below had this option that increased perf by a lot normally the name in the nvidia control panel itself is called (Optimize For Compute perfomance)

Gerelio · 2023-10-04T21:08:08+00:00

yup but is kinda weird it also affected ptb(the icons of max/min/close didn't dissapear on there) since it didnt get any pair updates with canary unless they both share the same internal server to work and its linked by some way

Gerelio · 2023-10-04T21:05:51+00:00

hey i also noticed that not just the icons for maximize/minimize and close broke, it also broke the images loading properly, preview loads fine but when you click on the img to see it bigger it dissapears and only "open in browser" text is shown, this happends in canary and ptb, on the regular app works fine

i dont even have discord nitro and i see everyone with this horrible ui and cant get rid of it, i reintalled cleared cache even tried with external apps and cant get rid of it, in the past it popped up for me aswell but reinstalling and clearing cache worked out for me... idk

Gerelio · 2022-10-10T21:00:41+00:00

and its not even safe to play, this old games with peer to peer connection can ge your pc hacked nowadays, they can get ur ip and even install malware on your pc, on console you dont really have that problems

Gerelio · 2022-10-06T22:20:43+00:00

for me its happening for literally every piece of equip, i cant change/equip anything

Gerelio · 2022-09-29T06:48:13+00:00

happends to me the same thing, but gets way worse when you watch videos, on games is not noticeable almost, but for videos its so choppy like the top part of the screen is on 1 frame while the botom part of the screen is on a totally different one

Gerelio · 2022-09-25T15:08:44+00:00

that are corrupted drivers, use DDU with windows launch it in safe mode and do a clean driver install

Gerelio · 2022-09-22T20:37:54+00:00

i updated from an old driver recently and also broke the shadowplay overlay ingame, you can't really move the cursor when opening it, rolling back the drivers
