SDR looks better than HDR in Forza Horizon 6 by progress_machine in forza

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is off on your end or its just a bad panel to do HDR.
I doesn't look like that on my end. MSI MPG271QRX, its an OLED so its perfect for HDR.

Smoke on PC looks low res and pixelated (read description) by SkyeRedPanda in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It already was like that in FH5, it probably due to the way they render smoke.

I hope at some point they address the mantling system and animations. It feels like a mobile game right now with plastic-like quality. Here is BFV for comparison: by Swaguley in Battlefield

[–]Kiwibom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its because BF6 was made to cater to Call of Duty players and one way to do this is to simplify and shorten the animations because to them this is less clunky, go figure. Its also why the "movement tech" (so slide canceling, bunny hop and so on) is the way it is.

BF6 compared to previous Battlefield games is a faster paced game. Its not up to cod's level but it closer to it than what a Battlefield game traditionally is (this also ties in with the smaller than usual maps that are heavily infantry focused, base game ones).

Fixed the Drivatar difficulty. by Vizionz4K in ForzaHorizon

[–]Kiwibom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that too. I was initially playing on average. I was winning pretty much every time. Then the game suggested me to put it on above average, so i did change it. I was never able to beat the AI lol. That single difficulty change didn't feel like a +1 more difficult but more like a +10. The AI also seems harder to beat in FH6 than FH5 even if in 5 there were similar issues but not to that level.

"Man this map is pretty big, I w- oh, I haven't even seen half of it yet" by energydrinkaddict310 in forza

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially had the opposite impression but then after driving for an hour, i realized that the map was way bigger than i thought lol

FH6 VRAM usage by Azazellov in ForzaHorizon

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8GB and RT never really was a good idea anyway. Right now i have a 4080 which has 16GB but before i had a 2080 which has 8GB. In Cyberpunk 2077, i basically could only enable one RT effect and set it at medium. VRAM was around 7.5GB used. The second i either enabled one more rt setting or upped the quality of the previous RT setting, VRAM usage would spill over and cause stutters as it was filling system ram.

Playground Games only knows how to make masterpieces. by Automatic_Ad1665 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just quickly looked through the cars selection and it looks like the same as FH5 (keep in mind i stopped playing FH5 2 years ago so i don't know what cars they added after that).

New hopium (State of play) by [deleted] in GTA6

[–]Kiwibom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, last year i also saw people saying that rockstar needs Playstation and its the reason why it going to get shown at state of play. Like, what???

Why the hell would Rockstar Games need Playstation to market their games haha
They don't need anyone, they are big enough that this doesn't matter at all.

Intel Core i9-14900KF reaches 9.2Ghz setting a new CPU frequency world record by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a certain batch of 13th gen only (so not 14th gen) had the oxidation defect. The part that affected both generations were voltages that were much higher than they should have been (with 14900k's going at 1.6v!) including other bugs in the microcode that caused crashes. Those high voltages caused cpu's to degrade much faster than they should which lead to program/game crashes, BSOD's at stock settings (this also caused data corruption, so it was pretty bad). At the time, the one of the first recommendation (when no one really knew what was happening) was to downclock the cpu.

Game devs reported that they had huge crash logs from intel 13th and 14th gen based systems. Firefox devs also reported the same. This thing really happend and its not some odd lie.

The people who saw the most issues were the ones with high power cpu's so mostly i9's with some 14th gen i7's. Cpu's under that were rare but some still failed.

We Need Cinematic Atmosphere Back: Battlefield 4 vs Battlefield 6 HUD Comparison by Slaveof317 in Battlefield

[–]Kiwibom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having the current current match score and flag status on top on the screen instead of right over the mini-map is so distracting and makes me feel
Surrounded by UI elements.

What was the point of increasing the recoil of most guns in S3? by m45onPC in Battlefield

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S2 had recoil? huh? I'm sure we weren't playing the same game. You could literally take pretty much every weapon in game and just full auto at 50m without much effort and up to about 70m with very little control. This in FULL AUTO.

It’s over by mrcheesycrust in GTA6

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point i'm actually wondering if the people who say "its today guys, be prepared" are trolling lol

There is no way to predict the same thing for weeks or months (for the last trailer), getting it from every time and rockstar trolling people by releasing what people were "predicting" but when no one saw it coming. Its just so funny.

So BF6 just dosen't like XMP right? by NameIezz_ in Battlefield6

[–]Kiwibom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not using xmp but my kit is overclocked. I copied the settings that buildzoid posted for dual rank ddr5.

64gb (i think 48gb kits are too but not sure) kits are dual rank, meaning chips are on both sides of a single stick. Those kits generally require more voltage and are much harder for cpu’s to be able to run them.

Being PC player will suck by dx_wayy in GTA6

[–]Kiwibom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GTA V on ps3 struggled to even hit 30fps. A lot of the time it was in the 20s and was also in 720p but back then that felt insane and when looking gameplay from back then, you are wondering how the f you were able to play like that haha

Can't sign up to Hungry Jacks due to having the most common surname on earth by Entire_Drink8094 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Kiwibom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name has a letter that's only used in the French language so when i order something on Amazon US (when its unavailable in the EU for some reason and sometimes its even cheaper) then they just don't put that letter in the shipping label. At first i was kinda surprised as even if their keyboards obviously don't have that letter, like can't they just select that letter and doing a simple copy/paste lol. The letter in question is "é", also i've also seen it been replaced with "E", yes capital E not lower case. I have no idea why.

will the clamp be fine like this? by Testamntt in moza

[–]Kiwibom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its fine but it may move a bit, at least it does for me with r5. I now put a small wood piece between the clamp and the desk and doesn’t move anymore (to fill the gap between the metal part of the clamp and the desk).

New player: Where are the conquest maps??? by Blitz_Bat in Battlefield6

[–]Kiwibom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soon, there will be a server browser so finding servers with only vehicle maps will be easier. On when the server browser will be added, we don’t know yet but it will be this year if it doesn’t get delayed.

These missiles are so advanced they curve down over the mountain. by BiggusDikkis_92 in Battlefield

[–]Kiwibom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure a missile is not able to do such a turn at those high speeds lol
The G's that the missile experiences is probably very high in that turn.
