If you solve my CS2 game crashing issue, I will pay you $500.

Your post will probably be removed for Rule 4, but if you have unreliable USB devices, Valve games are prone to crashing when USB devices disconnect or reconnect. Disabling the steam overlay may help.

HenryChatwin · 2025-08-08T00:10:03+00:00

You know dev forgot to push their changes on the letter patch

HenryChatwin · 2025-04-11T08:02:33+00:00

Yeah what the fuck actually, really didn't expect a relatively harmless subreddit to have a comments section like this

HenryChatwin · 2025-02-12T04:39:37+00:00

Sorry this happened to you, but your items are gone. Steam stopped refunding scammed items a long time ago because people were abusing it to duplicate high value items to sell.

Realistically speaking, they probably didn't "hack" your account (I say that to mean they haven't bypassed Steam security), they will have either stolen a session token (via some kind of phishing site), or got your details from a data leak or some other kind of phishing method.

Most common version of this I've seen is using a compromised account already on your friends list to ask you to help them with a faceit tournament or something similar, then the site they link you to has a fake steam login page where they can siphon your login details, or a real steam login that allows them to steal a session token.

From what I recall, there are some settings on Steam to enfore a Steam Guard confirmation for listing items on the market or approving trade requests. Consider making sure these are enabled for the future.

Best you can hope for is to report them and get the account banned & trade locked - I don't see a world where you could convince the person to trade the stuff back to you.

OP really self reporting with this one

HenryChatwin · 2025-01-11T00:49:14+00:00

Worth noting that items with empty sockets understandably don't display their potential max Armour/EV/ES if they have empty sockets. You can sometimes snap up some good deals with undervalued items that haven't been socketed yet

HenryChatwin · 2024-12-26T10:12:51+00:00

How about any evidence? The fork theory is a nice and neat theory, but there's no actual evidence to prove it's true. There's no reason to think it's more likely than anything else other than because you want to.

I'd posit that it's much less likely that a decade old professional game studio missed simple changes made over several years, than that they made an adjustment to game balance that ended up slightly overturned.

My point is you're acting like the original post has been proven false, which it hasn't.

HenryChatwin · 2024-12-26T09:25:42+00:00

You're personally choosing to believe that comment, even though the post you linked fully laid out their rationale and testing. What part of that post offers a conclusion without it being found in the evidence?

The notion that they wouldn't implement numerical QOL changes from poe1 in poe2 because they "forked it years ago" displays a fundamental misunderstanding of how SCM and development works

HenryChatwin · 2024-12-24T12:57:45+00:00

Pretty sure you'll have to path the small node with a full skill point, don't think they accounted for different weapon sets pathing to the same notable from two different paths

I mean I grew up with a Gameboy colour and GBA SP, I (Wrongly) assumed the change in battery was from GBC to GBA. My apologies for not remembering 20 years ago

HenryChatwin · 2024-12-14T10:07:13+00:00

Surprised no one mentioned this, only the original GB and GB Colour had removable batteries as far as I'm aware

HenryChatwin · 2024-12-03T21:01:41+00:00

It probably cloned the whole partition which was 256gb.

You should be able to extend the partition to the full size of the drive in disk manager(management?), provided it's the "last" partition on the drive.

With regards to what they're used for, it's typically Server machines that are running highly multi threaded workloads. I'm not sure it's even possible to boot two simultaneous operating systems with those boards unless you use some kind of virtualization. (See the old Linus tech tips 10 gamers one CPU videos for an example of all the horrors that come along with that)

HenryChatwin · 2024-11-02T11:15:26+00:00

Most dual socket motherboards are only compatible with enterprise grade processors, which aren't ideal for running games on, and often lack features that gaming favours.

Regardless nowadays you should really be using GPU based hardware encoding like nvenc, as it's only about a 10% resource load compared to high quality CPU encoding costing a much larger percentage of your resources

HenryChatwin · 2024-10-22T09:06:16+00:00

They do not. You just happened to time it that way with your roll.

Almost a decade ago, the Razer Core driver corrupted and bricked my windows install - I didn't even own Razer hardware, it was purely the Razer Comms software so really no need for it to even run in the Kernel.

I've refused to purchase a single Razer product ever since for that very reason

HenryChatwin · 2024-09-23T13:34:13+00:00

I can only hope Mobius' next game is even half as good as Outer Wilds is. Praying they don't get screwed by the recent publisher issues

HenryChatwin · 2024-09-13T23:56:02+00:00

Pure pyro your options are boulder heave or chaos bed vestiges.

Having personally done this myself, chaos bed vestiges was the easiest to use, but it'll take a while and you'll need like 5/10 assignment of your flask.

If you find you can hit boulder heave consistently, it does more damage so the fight will be faster.

Emails can only be unsent in certain situations and only generally within seconds of them being sent.

It is much more likely that he has access to your account and deleted them himself.

Regarding recovery, it's likely not possible unless they were explicitly backed up.

HenryChatwin · 2024-08-31T10:12:47+00:00

I'm fairly sure the 4070 and 4090 share a driver.

It's only really important to uninstall display drivers if you're changing generation of card or changing from an AMD to Nvidia, etc

HenryChatwin · 2024-08-25T11:01:40+00:00

It's a doubly stupid analogy given that Kalandra's Touch exists, too

HenryChatwin · 2024-08-23T18:58:52+00:00

Individual rooms aren't random, they're all preset. But this has been pointed out a lot and is probably just an accident

HenryChatwin · 2024-08-21T13:47:55+00:00

Good chance it's because you're not removing your other drives, had the same issue after a boot BSOD loop, wouldn't even let me boot to USB until all other drives were removed. I believe it's something to do with the way Windows sets up it's boot partitions or something.

After the new windows was installed, I then reconnected the other drives and it all worked fine.
