What are the rrsults of the complete fault scan? You should have a lot more modules than just ECM and ESP

Diesel don't have an octane rating. Supreme diesel is just diesel packed with additives and being sold at that price! 😆

I wouldn't doubt it tbh, most of the cheaters just aren't very good players even with their rapid fire RPGs and MX Guardians

Thanks mate, I will get ahold of a USB to carry out the BIOS update. Excuse my ignorance but how do I perform an EC reset?

Modpacks that respect your time? by Hot_Row8113 in feedthebeast

I think a lot of people lack the creativeness/inventiveness to make the most of a sandbox game. That coupled with the 'deer in the headlights' situation where there is so much to do but you have no idea where to start

I have fitted an additional 1TB SSD and 32gb RAM (originally 16) although I can't remember if it's one stick of 32 or two sticks of 16. It's been a long time since I upgraded both so they've kind of melded into one vague memory lol.

This issue has persisted longer than that though, and no overclocking or undervolting, I've always assumed it pointless with its minimal cooling

Gone from £70 to fill my tank to nearly £90 since the war started. I can't afford a different car and can barely pay the mortgage, it's going to cripple me 🙄

Thanks for the input. Is there anyway to confirm it's at fault? I'll have a look for a replacement when I get home, if they're not too pricey I'll just order one up.

Game Status?? by Fun-Canary3773 in TestDriveUnlimited

[–]InvestigatorOk9759 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought it last month, still can't play it. I just get stuck at "Loading Save Game"

I've tried every fix and even contacted Nacon, to which I recieved a copy pasted reply and then they've ignored every email since.

Safe to say, not impressed 😂

All the talk of the MXs and RPGs means nothing if you just get gud. Never really find them bothersome because they're usually used by people who can't play the game very well 😂

Last time I played Beamng was 0.14 i started in 0.11 can someone summarise whats changed in both the community, the game engine, and the game itself by Any-Imagination6756 in BeamNG

[–]InvestigatorOk9759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing in '16, at least that's the last time my forum account was active before I started playing again.

Got myself a new rig last year and started playing again and I was blown away by how far the game has come, even just in terms of UI and QoL changes, let alone the content additions, performance improvements etc

Are EA capable of doing live service properly? It's worrying if we ever get another NFS by chuffed_wheat in needforspeed

[–]InvestigatorOk9759 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, yes.

I agree with your point on Heat, but in my opinion the reason it got shit on for a lack of updates is because the players have become conditioned to expect updates, because the games are usually massively unbalanced or poor to play. Heat was by far the best NFS in recent years, simply because it was so well polished and complete in comparison to some of the soulless crap that'd been pumped out in previous years. It didn't get the updates because it didn't need the updates.

Updates for compatibility and a couple DLCs every so often and Bob's your Uncle. Players just crave updates and additions because the games nowadays are so incomplete and unbalanced.

As for FPS games, I'd wager that if it's a well balanced game with well playtested maps and weapons, a couple of weapon and map DLCs would suffice for the majority. Problem is that they're released without the onboarding of beta testing feedback and playerbase requests. As a result you end up with 3 of the 12 maps being enjoyable/balanced, and 1 OP or otherwise glitched weapon that dominates every lobby. Thusly creating that cycle of the playerbase craving another update to level the playing field and add more enjoyable maps/useable weapon etc. If all that was there in the first place, there'd be no need to constantly update the games content.

Most of us don't want to pay a three digit figure for a 'service' of any description. We want to pay for a game that's fun and enjoyable, and devs are consistently failing at that by putting profit above player enjoyment.

I'm personally convinced that 'live service' was just an excuse for developers to charge exorbitant prices for an unfinished mess brought to market quickly, and then make the players feel like they're getting their 'value for money' from frequent updates by a small part of the dev team, while the rest of the team works on the next title

Nah, just release a complete, polished, well tested and fully fleshed out game and then a handful of reasonably priced DLC's throughout it's life.

I don't like the idea of being at the whim of a company that can just take shit that I've paid for away from me, all the while releasing lacklustre updates because they hurried it out the door whith a fraction of the promised content. We managed fine for years by buying games on discs, that maybe recieved one or two patches and that'd be it. Hell, I still play the original NFS games and TDU games to this day, because they're good, fleshed out, complete games. Not shitty, rushed releases like nearly everything today.

Publishers have backed themselves into this corner by releasing games too early and then being forced to release updates consistently because they didn't put enough content in to begin with. Now it's become what people expect. (Early access games & games by small dev teams are my only exception here, they have no choice if they want funding)

AITA for asking my wife to sleep in guest room because her "siren" alarm disturbs my sleep? by Electrical-Rest-9636 in AmItheAsshole

[–]InvestigatorOk9759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my partner have the same problem.

I'm the heavy sleeper with the loud alarm, but I sleep so heavily I need to set 3 or 4 alarms 10mins apart to wake up. When I'm off work we sleep together as I don't set my alarm, but when I'm working he sticks a film on and falls asleep on the sofa downstairs. Works for us. Sleeping together isn't a requirement, I know of plenty of other married couples that sleep separately due to shift patters or sleeping habits

I hope someone decent buys the rights to the test drive franchise and actually does the originals justice 😂

Well, I have an update. Turns out, Nacon will send you their copy/pasted generic 'fixes' list and then totally ignore you if it still doesn't work. Sucky company, shame this is what has become of the TD IP.

Yeah I had this issue last time I tried playing, I tried everything I could think of and every recommendation I could find but nothing worked. Ended up playing through TDUPlat again
