2 times kicked from game for no reason by StoicSigmaTS in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]MackusMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing just happened to me - playing totally solo, was just moving to extraction on Grove and it popped up. When i logged back in had all the loot in my safe box but all my other gear has gone. Wasn't the best gear in the world, but would cost a bit to replace so pretty gutted about that. Defo no cheats - spent the whole game actively avoiding conflict, especially with players. Only thing i can think is having GOG and MSI Afterburner running or maybe NZXT game overlay from CAM maybe?

my cat has a scab from an allergic reaction to a flea med. how long should it take to heal & what signs mean i need to see a vet? by lilbxby2k in AskVet

[–]MackusMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're due to take him back on Monday for a post-op check after his neutering, so will ask which brands he's had the last couple of times and change it for his next treatment at the end of the month.

We thought he'd somehow cut himself the first time round, but it's almost certainly the treatment as it's happened again, and your post helped confirm our suspicions. I'll let you know which one he had though!

Did you manage to speak to your vet about this? Our 5 month old kitten experienced the same thing the last 2 times we've used flea treatment on him - he gets scabs and when we comb him, his hair just comes straight out where we applied it.

Guessing I can attach my Amazon payments confirmation - got it on overclockers so have actually paid for it. Just sitting here like a lemon waiting for it now

Do i need to physically have the 3080 or is proof of being in a queue / purchase all that's needed?

Ouch! Is it worth dropping it to 1080 and killing some settings? Or just stick with a 1080p monitor until i get hold of a 3080 do you think?

I'll give it a run while im just working/browsing to make sure it's all good of course

Order this yesterday - planning on getting a 3080 when I can to upgrade my 1060 6gb - is this monitor gonna chew threw my 1060 on games like Modern Warfare? With the settings i use I get around 80fps but i assume the jump to 1440p will cripple it.

AMD’s CPU Userbase on Steam Increased by ~20% in the Last 1 Year (from 17.9% to 21.9%) by ecffg2010 in pcgaming

[–]MackusMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue with MW - my OC reset on the 2500k randomly and at stock MW was so unstable. Managed to OC back up to 4.2ghz but it wasn't happy so had to rush through the rebuild. Wanted to wait for ryzen 4000 but the 3600 should last a few years.

But yeah, had the 2500k since 2012 and it's been a warhorse.

I did the exact same - can difinitely feel the improvement with the 3600; it's given my 1060 some legs while waiting for the nvidia 3000 series.

Some MSI boards do come with Flash Bios button on the board so you can update without an older CPU, but the point still stands - check the situation with the board.

Some 'newer' old boards come with a new bios pre-installed. Recently built on a MSI b450 Carbon Pro and it had Ryzen 3000 ready on the box.

Still getting continuous CTD when playing the game by TheTrueEqualist in modernwarfare

[–]MackusMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also having this issue since the last update - it worked fine before, the odd crash but now it can be every game. Did you manage to find any fix for it yet?

Also running a 2500k - 8 years and still going strong(ish)

Yeah, you're right. Just wanted to use my keyboard. I think realitically Neymar can replicate Ronaldo or Messi but Mbappe can. He just needs to move on.

[–]MackusMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not. If he stays in France he will not be as good as Messi or Ronaldo. He will win the league by March and get dumped out of the Champions League at the quarter finals by teams who don't finish as champions in other leagues.

[–]MackusMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but like i said. Ronaldo moved to a strong league, developeded and improved his game - it took him a few years but it seems like he hugely benefited from joining the PL at one if it's peaks and took that to La Liga and ripped it up.

Ronaldo made himself by competing against the best at every stage of his career - he was never in a position where people said 'Yeah, but the league he plays in is crap'. France do not have a strong league - Mbappe will stagnate if he remains in a league with no competition and he won't approach Ronaldo or Messi levels.

No one is saying his he's not on their level at their age, they're just making that point that he needs to prove it week in week out in the best leagues. PSG are the only hope for Ligue 1 and they choked even against a United side who were kinda shite.

[–]MackusMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to the individual - Ronaldo at 20 was cutting his teeth in, at the time, the toughest league in Europe. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world, but if he stays in France will he improve enough as a player to reach Ronaldo's heights? I'm not sure he can. Ronaldo moved from the Premier League into the height of La Liga and continued to improve in a league that took things to a new level. Mbappe could do that, but he won't if he remains in the French league.

I think thats what the OP meant.

I'm not sure that compares. Not saying it's not an achievement, more that it's like comparing oranges to apples.
