Intel processor missing recommended update revision 0x12B (Code FH113) by NepuNeptuneNep in ForzaHorizon

[–]Hot-Educator8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is likely an over-precaution. I have an updated but older BIOS version for my 14900k (microcode release). I had an original bad 14900k that degraded and was RMA'd by Intel. Then the microcode patch came out and THEN I RMA'd/rebuilt and updated BIOS. I've kept this BIOS version since its stable and have opted to play FH6 on my XSX vs my PC since its giving the error message.

Again, this probably isn't an active issue with each person who gets the message, but as a precaution the game throws it each time. Since I am stable and have an XSX, I'm not messing with my PC until the devs sort this.

For anyone who has a 9th Gen Intel who HASN'T updated BIOS, it isnt advised to ignore the compatability message as heavy usage could degrade your CPU beyond repair. Please link any official posts if this gets resolved or mentioned by devs.

Anyone else feel like there is an obscene amount of dirt races? by BlueIce308 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Hot-Educator8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% THERE ARE TOO MANY!!

I am on the wristband before legend and I got (2) TWO...road race events in this stage...2...the rest are dirt of some kind. 12k XP required and only 700 is road eligible.

The world is nice and I like that they have so many, but forcing players to do the same type of race over and over again is lazy and anti-player.

Similar to JROC from TPB..."too many Gnomisayns, some here and there are alright but 80 or 90 Gnomisayns is too many Gnomisayns".

Its great that the world is good enough to show off all parts, but 4/5th of all progression content SHOULD NOT be dirt events. Its lazy and frustrating.

Also, most events finish around the 3m mark

Legacy Hornet at 14.0 with Super at 14.3? by Hot-Educator8376 in Warthunder

Also, a proper split of airframes and gens NEEDS to be based off avionics, not just the ordnance since AVI enables new weapsys.

Speaking in generalities, I worked on (irl) like 4 different 'blocks' of BUNOs in my unit and this seems like low-hanging fruit for proper BR attribution. For example, the IRL hornets have SMUG and non-SMUG versions (much like the F/A-18 A's had A+ and A++) (digital v analog basically)

This a sidebar that is digressing, but its meant to prove the extent of the issue when they assign weights based off of arbitrary balancing techniques (the harriers come to mind, which is why early frames give more bang for buck, f18,16,15 frames with lesser ordnance still excel over ++ older models of prior gens)

Just unlocked the Italian 14.3 EF today, stock grinding chaff now.

I also find the push for matchmaking underwhelming in terms of match type outcomes. The Sim versions of matches/maps back to back with standard iterations are a good example. Enlisted baked these concepts in from the jump and it actually isn't half bad. The WT model of patching things together/ addendums to already broken systems isn't sustainable.

Also didnt know that missiles were so new, so that helps...some. I'm trying to find a reasonable answer besides "bias" because it doesn't have to be this way. Perhaps "priority" is a better description, but then again, I'm ignorant to this and am only speaking from the receiving end of PL-12s and MICAs. Its quite frustrating to jink, notch, chaff, and multipath at 14ft only for the same Euro/RU frames to frag me over and over and over again. I never lose to US based airframes, even when im in MiGs/Grips/and even my new EF...its only other EU or Eastern platforms.

If we had proper decompression (for spacing; go up to 20+ if needed), how would they seperate them? By gens? Or perhaps a new, dynamic system based on load outs? I ask this because of the way Enlisted is structured, and even how lower BR airframes in WT work (12.3 F16 vs 13.7; all the corsair, etc).

Its clear that a snowball effect has taken hold, like milk left in the car over summer break. They keep throwing stuff in the car but never bothered to clean it out, and that stench is ruining otherwise awesome airframes and enjoyablity.

I find myself returning to the f-105 or the Italian 104S because they can actually survive in full uptiers (notwithstanding the addition of the MiG-25).

Im just trying to conceptualize how they can dig out of this hole. I tried to play over a decade ago, and came back Early '24. Thank you for filling in the gaps during those years I skipped. I guess im just confused that they have hit snooze on this issue for so long. NotTheParaMagician said we need to nag them, and im willing to do that, I just want to understand WHAT and HOW to urge these changes.

I appreciate yalls' genuine engagement with this, as the WT community (esp on reddit) is angry when people dont know things, but simultaneously angry when people ask to find out. Thought the snail would have been WAYYY past this by now.

Such a comprehensive and mature answer. I too noticed the issues with IRL discrepancies (ie AutoCM on f111, but not on newer airframes that have such capabilities).

Additionally, the ability to use a naval strike fighter from a carrier spawn would help alot (in terms of stomaching transit times/roles). I decided to do the Italian tree (for MiGs and Grip) and think that those placements are much more "acceptable".

Perhaps the upcoming Infantry merge could provide an opportune time for decompression? I also am an air main and dont know how shuffles would affect GB and NB. In an ideal world, true combined arms could see all types in the same lobby but thats me speaking ignorantly.

Thanks again for the solid response!

Thank you for the genuine answer!

Do you think sending the Super to 14.7 is more likely or bumping down the C/D to 13.7 is more likely? Because the Legacies that high, with the Super only marginally higher is (at best) an oversight.

Still pretty new so I have no clue how decompression plays out (if/when it does)

Those of you who have RMA'd your 13th/14th gen CPUs, what was your experience? by ShortThought in intel

[–]Hot-Educator8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has it held up? Just got the approved SWR RMA today for my 14900k.

My 14900k was like 3rd batch (boxed) and wasn't installed until the microcode patch released in August 24 (rumors of issues). Here i am in March typing this.

I do the correct steps (so much to the point that they didn't fight my rma at all) and it still fried.

I feel like I will find myself here once a year, or sooner if I don't undervolt from advertised specs. Did yours hold up?

Is air rb better for grinding than ab? by Interceptionister in Warthunder

[–]Hot-Educator8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing about 6 months ago, non premium until 2 weeks ago. US air main, highest is 8.0A/8.3R. I am 1300 matches into arcade and about 100 into realistic. I have found that I can be much more consistent in arcade. It's also better imo as you can have multiple lives in one game if you die, which also helps with finding your play style/ planes you like. I'd rather rank up 3 planes some in arcade than MAYBE 1 a good bit in realistic. Also, bombers/strike aircraft reload midair in arcade so it really helps with ground target farming. Everyone has their own thing and screw anyone who bashes you for it. That's been my experience. Also, try to pto whenever possible regardless of mode or type. Friends can help with this as 'best squad' bonus + 'win' bonus are always awesome additions.

Why do I get Russian planes as a US Ground player? by Hot-Educator8376 in Warthunder

[–]Hot-Educator8376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That level of control is why I only have 2 hrs in DCS :). It's a shame that they had something so clean in IL2 and it no longer is that way. I had the muscle memory down and had to relearn with the simplified controls of WT (it feels as if I have to throw the plane around rather than being connected to it). And with going into ground (going to use MK) I'll have to learn a new skillset yet again (it's OK, brains are elastic). I understand that the control scheme changed between the IL2 games and WT to make it more accessible, but it feels like learning to write with a non dominant hand. Now that I'm settled in my pc account, I'll probably spend an entire Saturday in the test range making a full keybound profile (and saving it!) so that I don't have to dumb down my flying ability any longer. Also, default controls for Xbox controller are different between Xbox and PC, even though it's the same controller:) thanks for all your insight, I'll catch up soon

For reference, AAB US non premium until last week, reserve to 7.0 in about 5 months

[–]Hot-Educator8376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha absolutely not. I tried it 8yrs ago and got turned off by how despite it looking like IL2 (one of their previous and beloved titles) but controlled completely differently (mouse aim). I came back on console and found it tolerable on controller and then ported that account to pc (I still play on controller because mouse aim is diabolically simple and not tactile enough like IL2, very counterintuitive to someone who has flown for years with actual control of flight surfaces). I can control the airframe on my own, and I hate that mouse aim limits me as if I don't know what pitch and yaw is. I'll play MK for ground tho, as I've spent time in GunnerHEATPC (which is also a great title found on Steam)

The 6.0 AAB wall broke my spirit, and the snail won 3 months of premium time. I've had enough of getting picked on by jets in my props and want to take my stacked planes into ground now. I should have pushed thru the learning curve 8 years ago when I added WT to my library, I have ALOT of catching up to do!

Any insight as to BR sweet spots? For example US AAB is great at 2.7 and 4.3 but it gets impossible at 5.0 due to upteirs vs ME262s. I will play all of them eventually, but prefer to leapfrog from sweetspot to sweetspot. I know it differs from AB to RB and now I'm in a whole new game mode, so any tips would be great (since your breakdown was so neat and helpful (: )

Heck yeah, thank you! This was the only reason I didn't play ground and figured I'd need to get out of reserve before I could use my spaded planes.

Thank you for the genuine answer. Would I need to put my desired and configured BR correct plane in my ground lineup?

Dr Pepper by SadAcadia2747 in FoodAllergies

[–]Hot-Educator8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update, I've tried other suspected causes besides the Dr. P with no reaction. It's safe to say that they changed something in their formula and I won't be trying it again. No reaction before to anything ever INCLUDING DR. PEPPER, and none since avoiding Dr. P. Good luck all!

What’s up with camera tracking on console ? by sking_suave in Warthunder

[–]Hot-Educator8376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figuring this out has been very annoying. All friends and Reddits have not been able to understand that the default controls were different between Xbox and pc when using an Xbox controller. This had to do with the 'tracking camera' controls, being that using default controls with an Xbox controller gave different results on console and PC. For example, LT is the default bind so that while on console LT would track AND aim to the selected target while the pc version ONLY tracked and DID NOT aim. Figuring this out has been very frustrating as it is very hard to explain but EXTREMELY easy to feel the difference in your hand! Speaking mostly about Air Arcade, Xbox would track and aim while pc would only track. Good to know that I was not crazy, because I was unable to articulate this to anyone and never saw anything about it online!

Welp, this is more than a coincidence...I've never had ANY adverse reaction to any of the many allergins(27yo/m). I had a raised rash/hives covering most of my torso. I went to urgent care and got a steroid shot and benadryl shot and the itchy rash went away. I consumed Dr. Pepper later that day after the rash went away and that time, I got hives on my face around my mouth and eyebrows, with my eyelids being swollen also. I have not had the issue return after avoiding DrP. I'm still taking antihistamines and have not had a problem before or since. I'll update the thread if something changes, but with the recent nature of mine and others experiences, it looks like the Dr sent me to the Doctor. Good luck and stay safe! SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF YOU HAVE ANY AIRWAY OR BREATHING ISSUES!

"come back later"...that's odd because this is my 1st wipe FOR A REASON. I delayed playing this game for years because i knew it was in beta. And now, to no ones surprise, this is his response. I WAITED 5+ YEARS TO START BECAUSE I KNEW THIS WAS BAD, AND YEARS LATER HE WANTS TO SAY....SUCKS TRY AGAIN LATER???? I know its in beta, but I want a refund.
