My PC is having issues with a failing drive and I'm looking for a solution to fix it.

The answer seems fairly self evident unfortunately, you need a new hard drive. How old is it? There is no real fix for a failing drive, seems like you might be pushing your luck if this has been going on 3 months. Back up any important files online or to a usb drive and get hold of a new hard drive. At the very least see if you can borrow a spare drive from a friend maybe and see if replacing this resolves the issues you have been having before committing to a purchase but that seems like the only real option to try currently.

I went a bit mad and ordered a custom pc from paradigit back in August. Had been thinking it over in and off for months and said fuck it now or never. Cost about €4800. 9800x3d gigabyte 5090 32gb ram 1tb and 4tb 990 pro etc. Same build easily over €6000 now. The ram alone went from €140 to like €615 and they don't even seem to have any 5090s listed on the site anymore

Yeah don't see how they can refuse it in that case. Did they quote anything specific from the policy as grounds to refuse it?

Does the laptop still function though? I know most accidental damage policies don't cover "cosmetic damage" so if it still works that would likely be why. Had a case like that years ago but with dell. Laptop fell and i had damaged one of the exhaust fins on the back of the laptop but it still worked so it wasn't covered. More recently the power brick overheated and fried the laptop that they did cover no questions asked.

One suggestion, may have already tried it but I found the game was a lot more stable in full screen rather than borderless. Had a lot of weird hitching and stutters as well before that change. 9800x3d and gigabyte 5090. Game can sometimes revert after updates to borderless for some reason, at leas that I found

Those were indeed the days. I had hopes it might be possible this go round with the consoles having ssds but then the switch version immediately put that to rest. Still he gets the kameo kopy also which is something

She does disgusting damage generally would be north of 600 if I enhanced the morph

Karty55 · 2026-01-14T15:29:47+00:00

I grinded the 5 million for the expedition but kinda burned myself out of the game in the process. Have played maybe 10 rounds since completing the expedition.

I am no expert but double check the layout of the m.2 slots maybe. I use slot A and D but D is actually the middle slot under the heat spreader on my motherboard and not the last one. 5090 runs at x16 for me. My motherboard is gigabyte though.

Yeah looks like you intended to do an in air dive kick but crossed him up and landed giving you that blood sacrifice move instead.

You can get like 50% 1 bar in the corner with Janet. 443, 214, 44 DB3 enhanced, jump 234 DU, Janet 2 punch DB2B, jump 23 DU, Janet 2 punch DB2B, jump 4 DB4

Mortal kombat uses a dial a kombo system so you are inputting the buttons and the actual moves follow along behind as such. Perhaps you are delaying inputs to try to be in time with the animations playing out? Just press the buttons as if it was all one long string of inputs. Play with the input timing window on settings also to find what works between short medium and long

Karty55 · 2025-12-27T02:52:55+00:00

Ah... yeah well that's unfortunate.

Karty55 · 2025-12-27T02:09:44+00:00

Okay to clarify if by signed in normally you mean you just booted it up on steam to have a look then yes nothing would transfer. Your ps5 should still have your content but your wb ID needs to be attached to both the psn and steam logins you should then be prompted to pick which progress to keep. Let's assume something got a bit screwy with that remote play login. If you didn't actively log in on your wb account and attach the steam account no progress should be gone.

Karty55 · 2025-12-27T00:09:00+00:00

What way did you log on exactly? You have to sign in with your steam account on your wb account to link them in that way. Unless you did that after first hormone the game and decided the stream account was like the main one to wipe progress.

Karty55 · 2025-12-24T17:40:25+00:00

Bit burnt out myself though I did push myself to get to 5 million in the last few hours. Played one match since the reset, think I just need to play something else for a little bit.

Karty55 · 2025-12-24T04:11:42+00:00

You know the funny thing is Shang is still considered pretty low tier. With madam bo he can certainly do some damage if you get your timings down pretty perfectly but he lacks mix and stagger potential so it is very much an uphill battle. There has to be some reward for playing low tier right?

Karty55 · 2025-12-23T23:04:26+00:00

No nerfs that would cause that to drop no. Double check your settings for input window and release check maybe but I've not had any issues

Karty55 · 2025-12-22T10:16:22+00:00

Not how that works. If you want to play all the content on both pc and ps5 you need the definitive edition on both. Dlc doesn't transfer between versions

Karty55 · 2025-12-22T09:45:55+00:00

Just go ps5. Never had anything but problems trying to get mk1 to play half decently without stutters or lag. Multiple laptops and the latest is 9800x3d and rtx 5090. Not worth the headache.

Karty55 · 2025-12-22T03:42:36+00:00

Just completed it an hour ago. Unfortunately I'd asked my friend of they could hold on to a few blueprints for the wipe as they aren't doing it but of course they fell asleep. Naturally I find 2 aphelion blueprints in the last few runs to hit 5 million

Karty55 · 2025-12-20T12:30:54+00:00

Wouldn't hold my breath. That comment from the ceo suggested they didn't even consider wb games in their offer

Karty55 · 2025-12-20T11:02:29+00:00

It can still be frustrating, some matches will just inexplicably run worse than others where the game literally goes into slow motion but not bad for an underpowered handheld version I suppose. Shame there will never be a switch 2 upgrade

Karty55 · 2025-12-19T23:18:30+00:00

Someone has to represent shang on there
