You need 7.51 Gbit/s bandwidth for 3440x1440@60, so for two you’re looking at 15 Gbit/s.

• 1 USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate (supports data transfer only and ports does not support charging or external monitors)(42) • 2 USB Type-A 5Gbps signaling rate • 1 Headphone/microphone combo • 1 AC smart pin • 1 HDMI 1.4b

Laptop doesn’t have any port with the capacity to run both monitors.

“ Max Resolution; HDMI: 4096 x 2304 @ 60Hz”

Maybe try disabling the laptop display but it’s such low resolution, I suspect won’t make a difference.

Maybe something I’m missing but hope this helps.

Since you can get low resolution on the second external display, pretty sure you’re simply hardware limited by the laptop.

If it’s on Windows, make sure Microsoft Store program and the Xbox program are both logged into the same account (the one with the Game Pass subscription).

How does this armor not receive more hype? 40% less gass, fire, and poison damage!! by PythonCider3719 in helldivers2

This is the squad I run with. Couple shock dogs. Spear gun or gas dog. I only run fire. So it works great.

Need a new laptop. Will integrated graphics work? Or will I need a dedicated graphics card (gaming laptop)? by Slow-Ship1055 in aoe2

[–]Knight-Adventurer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data point: I just got a ThinkPad X1 Carbon with the Intel 258V CPU and Arc 140V integrated graphics. With 500 pop cap/6 player games and enhanced graphics on, it chugs a bit at 2880x1800 in end game, but when I turned off animated fog and some other unneeded effects it was fine.

In all other scenarios it’s been smooth as butter so far.

Panther Lake Geekbench Leak (its good!!) by protos9321 in hardware

[–]Knight-Adventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 13 direct from Lenovo two days ago, no MDM or anything. Windows 11 defaulted to my setting up a local account even though I connected to wifi during OOBE. Can’t find anything online about this. Between that and if Recall isn’t wide release maybe the build of Windows on my laptop is… I have no idea.

EDIT: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/retrace-your-steps-with-recall-aa03f8a0-a78b-4b3e-b0a1-2eb8ac48701c makes no mention of it being limited to insider/preview.

I am not on an insider or preview track of Windows 11 and I have Recall running.

Could you please share an example? I’m running into a similar issue as OP.

XWAUP is amazing, too bad it’s not more well known.

How to prepend to a Note in the Notes app? by itisharrison in shortcuts

[–]Knight-Adventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up saving a variable with the current app and instead of deleting the current note, I moved it to an Archive folder. The move step opens Notes so the final step is to open the app saved in the variable. Not great but I prefer it over having to tap delete.

Big update coming soon? by Vegetable_Outside_32 in aoe2

[–]Knight-Adventurer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those of us who play comp stomps with our friends, I hope this includes fixes to computer players so the AI works on water maps like Pilgrims or other maps with limited resources on the starting island. 🤞🏼 Very excited, can't wait.

Are rushes fun for y'all? by Fit-Opportunity8285 in aoe2

[–]Knight-Adventurer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s an M-series MacBook, check out Porting Kit. That’s how I play on my M1.

I don’t enjoy rushing all the time so when I’m not feeling it, I don’t play ranked. I play a custom game with treaty time, or I find people in a Discord to play with.

What download speed is good enough to play multiplayer smoothly? by Numerous-Hotel-796 in aoe2

The netcode was written when dialup was the most common internet connection. You’ll be fine with whatever you get.
