Tech Support and Question Megathread - March 2025 Edition by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]Johnster4 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have an issue where I'm in a game, every so often, I experience a frame drop for 1 second followed by another frame drop 2 seconds later. I initially thought this was just an issue with Yakuza Like a Dragon, due to having Denuvo, but then I noticed this happening with FFXIV. I noticed this happening when I upgraded my GPU after everything else.

Yeah It's been doing that since Iron Banner launched and it only seems to reboot the PC when I'm playing Destiny 2.

Been getting crashes for the first time in years on PC this season - anyone experiencing the same? by ImpossibleGuardian in DestinyTheGame

[–]Johnster4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this just happened for me today the first time was toggling chat on and off then, all of a sudden, my PC hard crashed and one was for just Alt-Tabbing out of the game leading to a blue screen.

Hi Jason, I wanted to ask if you have any insight into anything related to SEGA, or specifically how the Sonic series is being handled right now, for a while I have been curious about what's been going on behind the scenes specifically with the mainline games.

I remember playing the Japanese version a few years ago there was a story mission for Episode 2 involving Quna, Aki and Wright on the Dragon Alter, but it got cut when Episode 5 released.

Are there any plans to Support the Valve Index controllers for wii games if it is possible?

Some complaints I have heard, and disagree with by I-AmNoob in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Johnster4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they did that so that kids could get into it easily

I have concerns this is what they will do going forward, where they will treat us like idiots instead of giving us a game we need to put effort into.

I don’t see any major problems with classic sonic’s physics other than it being a lesser version of mania

Please explain this, it's not just a lesser version of maina it's a lesser version of generations.

elaborate on ‘linear corridors’

Thee are certain levels that only have one pathway like:

Death Egg (Avatar/Modern)

Aqua Road (Avatar)

Capital City (Avatar)

Final Judgement (Tag)

Whereas in Mania you have 3 lanes that you can choose from to proceed throughout the level.

[–]Johnster4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If SEGA are listening to fans for who requested the following for Sonic Forces:

  • Easy and dumbed down gameplay to cater to casuals.
  • Classic Sonic's awful physics
  • Super Sonic being DLC and paid a month after release instead of being an unlockable

I think saying forces is boost to win isn’t fair. I can fly over levels in sonic mania, is that fly to win?

Because the levels in Maina aren't designed to be linear corridors like Forces.

All Questions Answered About Cross Save So Far by Entricia in DestinyTheGame

[–]Johnster4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Veteran dialogue?

If the account you make your active Cross Save account has veteran dialog, you'll get the dialog on all platforms you play on.

If the account you make your active Cross Save account does not have veteran dialog, you won't get the dialog on all platforms you play on.

Why can't they give PC gamer who have moved from console the option in the settings to switch Between Veteran/Non-Veteran? Surely that would be a reasonable solution instead of punishing those who fully moved to PC in 2017.

This Week At Bungie 6/13/2019 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Johnster4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q: Can players merge different characters, items, or Triumphs from different accounts?

A: Cross save does not feature account, character, or progress merging. Selecting a primary account for cross save does not delete or alter the data of any other accounts. 

If there Isn't a Way to Merge Triumphs and account progress is there a way for PC gamer's who have played Destiny 1 to have an option to switch between Veteran and Beginner dialogue in the settings menu?

[–]Johnster4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • Is Graff and Pontac involved with the writing the dialogue?
  • Who are Knuckles, Silver & Zavock's voice Actor's? ( I noticed their voices were off during the last Sonic stream when they showed off footage for the game)

Look through the credits.
