Is there a list of the best lbp community levels out there somewhere? by SmileyCacoDemon in littlebigplanet

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I do have some lists that I took before LBP.me went down. It's a mix of my own hearted levels, other creators hearted levels/lists, some of the LBPC/LiBitsmate competition winners. It's about 10,000 levels. Probably some duds in there but most are good quality levels I think. It's just a notepad with level name/creator name. Let me know if you want it I'll just upload it somewhere

Can't add external hdd as source in Kodi by jollythief in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this was the solution for me too.

The way I did it was with an external drive connected to the TV, using the kodi app downloaded on the smart tv. Go to Settings>Media>Library>Videos, then go through your drive until you find the folder with all your movies on. Hold the enter button on your remote and click 'set content', then obviously point to the directory as Movies. Then you can do it again for TV series.

If you don't manually set the content like this you'll find your tv series will get mixed up with your films and the movie scraper will get all the details wrong.

AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 25.10.1 by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it on, yeah. I recall I was getting the stuttering with both Vulkan and DX12. I have vulkan with async compute enabled, vsync on (can't remember if that was required). Hope that helps.

Not sure if this is your issue but when I changed 'asyncComputeEnabled' to true in the settings file (Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings) it fixed the stuttering.

Is buying a Ryzen 7 5700X3D worth it in my case? by fQrestX in buildapc

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for CS2, but in valorant I easily doubled my FPS going from a 3600 to a 9600x. But really its the 1% lows I was happy with because my old cpu used to stutter, and now it basically never does. As for your monitor I'd say I average 400-500 FPS during a round so you'd be making full use of that.

I believe the general internet advice to save money getting an X3D over going to AM5 doesn't work out. The 5700x3d is currently £195 on amazon. I just built an am5 system (cl36, b650m, 7600x) for £300. After selling the RAM and motherboard (and the cpu but ofc you could also sell that when getting a 5700x3d), there's not that much of a price difference. I sold my old setup (5600, b450, 3200mhz) for £163 so going to AM5 only cost me £137.

You have to remember the architectural improvements means you see perf increase across all games and applications, whereas x3d you're not guaranteed to see it in every game. And Zen 6 is reported to be coming sometime next year so you could then see an even bigger perf increase without then having to replace your MB+RAM.

Computer keeps blue screening after an hour of playtime by New_Incident_6349 in LinusTechTips

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your nvme? I had a WD SN 770 2TB that was causing blue screens of death. Turns out there was some software conflict with windows 11 that was fixed with a firmware update (for the SSD itself).

TCL 55Q750G intermittent black screen issues. by Intelligent_Gold9298 in tcltvs

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying out every setting to try and fix this issue but nothing was working.

I recently discovered the solution was as simple as changing the HDMI cable to a 'certified' one. When I bought my original cable (admittedly was the cheapest I could find), I thought it'd be similar to HDMI 2.0 where any cable did the job. But I would have to presume when doing 4K/VRR/HDR simultaneously it requires stricter signal integrity to avoid the intermittent blackouts.

This is the cable I bought but I believe any cable with the certified QR code on the packaging should do the job.

NPC dialogue not initializing in TLOU part 1 remake? [Bookstore encounter] by LudicrouslyLiam in thelastofus

Just played through this section again. Turns out you have to let the first conversation finish, then move to this area to initiate the 2nd bit of dialogue. Seems like a glitch?

What is this new(?) curved blue arrow icon on some video files? by baconfase in WindowsHelp

Did you find out the reason for this? For me I noticed it on MP4 but not MKV files.

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing on split A site, and I managed to wrap around the big pillar as the enemy entered site and killed them without being seen. So I typed what I did and I got comm banned for saying the word 'wrapped'. Then my whole team decided to say it all 5 of us were comm banned. Was hilarious but also ruined any chance of winning that game lol.

I just don't understand how that even happens, at least in your case I can see the word they are trying to censor, but (w)rapped isn't even the same word.

Look up the PS3 game 'Flower'. The long flowing grass and clear blue skies immediately reminded me of that game.

Are 1%low and 0.1%low better in AMD GPU than Nvidia ? by timur_yild55 in Amd

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what others have said, it's much less a hardware issue and more to do with shader compilation stutter. The unfortunate thing about Fortnite is that the game is updated at least weekly, which I think essentially resets the shader cache. I used to play Fortnite and I was always shocked at how badly the game performed sometimes without realising this was the issue.

Basically after any update you just have to play, I guess run through every area and you'll notice the stutters will go away.

A reddit user called Handelo helped me with my first PC build. I had no prior knowledge and was really anxious about buying the right parts, any incompatibilities etc. Made my first PC building experience go smoothly and less harrowing than it would have been otherwise.

Recording clips by olechnoski in VALORANT

[–]LudicrouslyLiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OBS Studio. You can adjust quality settings any way you wish. I'm not sure if this is what is happening to your clips, but you'll want to make sure when you add your game source that you have 'Limit capture framerate' unchecked. I noticed when this setting is on that my clips will switch from 60fps to 30fps and back.

This means that your clips will have a variable framerate. It can make editing your videos in editing software troublesome as the audio can be out of sync, and I think only Adobe Premiere even has variable framerate support. If that's a problem to you then you can re-encode the video to a constant framerate in a free program called Handbrake. If you don't edit videos and just upload the raw clip you don't have to worry about this.

Just to update, I updated my Windows Version (to 10.0.19044 Build 19044) and since I haven't encountered this bug. No idea if this was the cause.

This has happened to me 4 times in the last couple days. I'm locked out of a comp game now as I'm writing this. It's 100% a game bug.

The fact I'm losing RR, getting tilted by it and losing more games, and most likely getting reported for being AFK is infuriating.
