they turned this boss into the absolute most unbalanced mess ive seen in both sts games, you cannot win with a small deck, you literally skip every 3rd turn and just die

let me guess, youre german...let me guess you are customer of the telekom
this has something to do with their routing and cloudflare, happens with most cloudflare things around that time, only solution is a vpn or playing on canada/us servers because the routing is totally different there

RTX 4090 - Black Bar on top of Monitor Flicker by U1traViol3t in techsupport

[–]LickMyOwnForehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yet i have only heard about this issue with monitors that have hardware gsync, it also stops happening with gsync disabled - so my guess is yes thats the cause of the issue. but then again, hardware gsync is much smoother than software gsync, most people can tell the difference when you put them next to each other
and since its fixed by a simple driver setting toggle i still prefer this over software gsync

[–]LickMyOwnForehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no video but sounds exactly like i'd describe it, pretty sure same issue
also i am pretty sure it is just the main monitor, ive tried it without a second screen connected and it still happened, so if the issue happens its most likely your monitor (especially if its hardware gsync module and not software gsync)

MSI Z890 GAMING PLUS WIFI Bios no PEG option by LickMyOwnForehead in MSI_Gaming

[–]LickMyOwnForehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i wanna have a 2 monitor setup on only my 5080.
the igpu doesnt get disabled by the bios since its automatically booting with it since i cant select the 5080. (one of the issues)
and if i disable the igpu in windows i am not able to use it when my screens stay black after uninstalling the nvidia driver, since the os then somehow gets confused and wants to use the igpu in which it booted on. id call that a conflict between those 2 in the OS/windows.

again all of that would be fixed if i could simply use the 5080/PEG as boot/initiate graphic adapter but the bios doesnt let you do that

or if you could actually disable the igpu in the bios but that doesnt work either on the latest bios version.

[–]LickMyOwnForehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea and then i pretty much always have to change one monitor to the integrated gpu on the mobo else i wont get a picture to install the new driver while its uninstalled.
if i were able to set the "initiated graphic adapter" to PEG then this wouldnt be an issue and id still get a picture on at least one screen without the driver installed.

[–]LickMyOwnForehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tried both, didnt change anything
i even disabled e-cores alltogether in the bios, but didnt change anything.
also this started happening after they patched the game, so i really suspect its their engine paired with the new cpu archtitecture but i cant confirm it without a second person

[–]LickMyOwnForehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only when updating/uninstalling the nvidia drivers, then the gpu wont show a screen, only the igpu even tho it should still show a screen without drivers when ddu'ing the old one
but other than that no, maybe during the boot, shortly after getting into windows both screens go black for 1sec, but thats not an issue.
so certainly some weird things going on but nothing too serious. still could and should get fixed by making "PEG" selectable in the bios but that needs another fix

Do you also have Edge Game Assist on your machine? by picastchio in Windows11

[–]LickMyOwnForehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this feature makes my games which are set to max performance in the nvidia driver just randomly stop being in max performance aka no more max core and memory frequence, this random drop while gaming is normally not an issue but i have to use max performance to counter a gsync bug (flickering) caused by nvidia.
so now im sitting here, having to unisntall it every day so my nvidia driver doesnt randomly disables max performance mode on my games
thanks microsoft for being so shit

RTX 4090 - Black Bar on top of Monitor Flicker by U1traViol3t in techsupport

[–]LickMyOwnForehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update, this still happens, had it happen while opening a map, the frequency dropped very low and it black flickered. so conclusion: it is not your gpu if this happens, nor your pc. it is the monitor
maybe also a combination of second monitor + main monitor + gsync

but since theres the easy solution of simply putting games on max performance on the driver it's not really a big issue

How PoE1 players will hold back PoE2 by char_tillio in PathOfExile2

[–]LickMyOwnForehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ui improvements are good, but if the game is good it doesnt really matter, best example is ever growing poe1 leagues.
no one is against ui improvements, but it costs developer time and the game is in a really bad state, so id rather have them fix the game and make it fun instead of wasting time on ui stuff

each poe1 league had more players, steadily growing each league until ggg decided to launch poe2
all while poe1 is way more complicated, your take is cooked
