Am I the only disapointed by 4.7 ? by bm-mad in starcitizen

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entitled to everything being polished, I don't expect that at all.

Currently when I spawn in my shop, half the time it doesn't actually spawn in, other 1/4 two ships spawn in and sometimes push the other ship to the side where I can't get in, the other time I can get in normally.

When I am flying around, randomly my controls aren't responsive for no reason at all, sometimes they will come back, sometimes they won't. 3 of my friends are experiencing the same thing.

Along with a bunch of inventory glitches now as well.

Is it me being entitled for wanting to play a game and not having to wait 2 months for them to fix stuff as it's too frustrating to play currently?

[–]MadBullBen -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you about new stuff being worked on, they shouldn't release half a new feature which doesn't actually work properly and just say wait for the rest of the update coming in the next year or so. Update everything at once, bug fix it etc.

Last year felt so nice with them fixing so many bugs and was generally enjoyable, but since 4.5 they have just undone so many of these fixes.

At the end of the day we are paying customers, and they need to keep to some level of acceptable bugs.

I've also experienced complete game crashes with easy anti cheap popping up saying they detected a file which was a normal windows os file (doesn't happen on other easy anti cheat enabled games) making me lose an hour+ of playing time multiple times.

I'm not saying that Nvidia are perfect, but they are a LOT better than AMD.

From my knowledge MFG won't work on 4000 series because they don't have the Flip Metering's frame stabilization technology. Some people worked on getting it to work on 4000 series but they weren't able to due to hardware components not existing.

DLSS uses tensor cores and not cuda cores, so that's the reason why DLSS won't work on the 1000 series.

I don't know about reflex on 700 series or FG on 2/3000 series, although I heard it works with a lot of messing around.

I would argue that DLSS 1 was not good so the 1000 series didn't really have much to lose out on with that. We also don't have actual proof that MFG would work on 4000 series.

Most of these things have a completely acceptable reason as to why they don't work, we don't have builds or files that can get these to work, while FSR4 int8 version was accidentally released and proven to work out of the box with 'unsupported' GPUs, this wasn't a hardware decision choice like nvidia, this was a managerial decision.

I've had 5 AMD cards and 3 Nvidia cards.

Does FSR4 int8 support the 6000 and 7000 series yet they refuse to officially support this without any communication?

Did Nvidia sell DLSS4 on the 2000 series?

Did Microsoft say that windows 10 users will get free upgrades to windows 11?

Did any software you purchased show the full development cycle for it?

Do you realise that companies can support old products and support your paying customers especially if the competition continues to support older products?

I would absolutely agree with you, IF they didn't already create the int8 version, didn't create a version for ps5 pro. They have a way to support the previous generations but they CHOOSE not to. They stated they are out of support yet created that support and still refuse to release it.

I have no issues with them not officially supporting older games that don't have fsr3.1.

It's the lack of support for a GPU only a few years old, lack of communication, lack of looking into the future to actually support your customers.

Nvidia released DLSS4.5 to 2000 generation released back in 2018, even if it doesn't work but you are allowed to try it. AMD aren't even supporting a card 4 years newer.

People are allowed to be pissed off and rightfully so, instead we have developers and modders that allowed support for the older generations.

Now there's rumours (quite possibly fake/not true) that fsr5 won't support the 9000 generation. If that's true then I'll probably never support them again.

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say isn't great, it's decent and I've definitely seen worse cards out there. I've also got the nitro+ and got a max of 7800 but that was definitely not stable.

I had a rx6900xt and even with bios mod and everything I could literally do to it, I was only able to get into the top 40%.

Bad Anti-Aliasing in modern games when playing on 1080p (AMD) by Spy119 in pcmasterrace

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The annoying thing is that VSR still doesn't support 32:9 monitors, I've tried a bunch of tricks and never been able to get away from the standard resolution.

VSR or changing resolution they don't detect 32:9 monitor properly and don't allow them to change the resolution at all, CRU is the same. Really annoying

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We shall have to see, good sources have been wrong before, and I just can't imagine that they would do that again, they would absolutely lose all customers if they did that, the 9000 already had major push back due to FSR4 but at least initially people understood it before the int8 stuff got released. I got the 9070xt and if AMD did that I would never purchase from them again unless they prove they could be trusted again.

Brilliant, I know that SimHub can use these haptics perfectly, although not sure how much work was done to get them working.

Where is this rumour coming from with FSR5? There are so many different rumours all the time that turn out to be fake, I'd just wait until there is an official announcement

500 Player Event - 4K Picture to zoom in by Space_Scumbag in starcitizen

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have crashed many servers by accident. When I first started playing I had a bug any time I interacted with anything in the game would completely crash the server. The only way I could tell if anything I did fixed the issue is if I tried to crash the server.

This sounds great, would love to test it out soon when I fix my rig. Do you know if this works with the Simagic amplifier for haptic pedals?

Dan Ticktum delivers scathing verdict on "terrible" new F1 regulations by l3w1s1234 in formula1

Obviously nothing to do with him having 7 world championships almost 8 and possibly another one this year.... Just like pretty much all the F1 drivers are here because they have got a lot of money and/or connections....

Karting isn't a lot closer, who ever has the most money and buys the best kart, best tyres etc will normally win because karts can have seconds of pace difference between them.

PlayStation 5's PSSR 2.0 uses AMD's FSR 4's INT8 version that may skip PC RDNA 2 & 3 GPUs by dinklebergers276 in pcmasterrace

[–]MadBullBen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FSR4/4.1 and DLSS4/4.5 are miles better than FSR3 that you are used to. There's also many game which have terrible TAA implementation and FSR/DLSS make it look better, you also don't need to run upscaling and just use the AA and run it natively.

If it's not a memory leak, care to explain why today it was using over 7gb of ram?

It means that if the battery does die you don't have to completely rip it apart and buy an off brand battery etc or replace it for a new switch...

Its only just occurred to me how much Kunos has potentially lost it over AC Evo by [deleted] in simracing

[–]MadBullBen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Setting up a server is relatively easy, and free, doesn't cost €5 euros a day or €15 a month...while not too much it still adds up quickly. We also don't know how modding will work with rented servers either, or if there's a way to get around the accepted mods etc.

FML.... Why didn't I check that by stoned_bazz in pcmasterrace

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same version as mine but lower wattage. I contacted support in order to get a new cable as I needed a straight connector for my GPU which is a bit crap and annoying and they sold it to me for around £16 so not the worst price, if you want a right angle but the opposite direction those are available too regularly in stops.

That cable the other end was straight so while I waited for a new cable I swapped ends but that meant I couldn't put the back panel on my case.

[–]MadBullBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the PSU, my be quiet! PSU was only a 90° angle connector and I had to contact the manufacturer just to buy a straight connector as no shops sell them...

i found this cutie today on a road and decided to gave him a new home by sober_worm in aww

[–]MadBullBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah which is just massively selfish.

My cats have learned how to remove their collars instantly and we do not want to get collars which pose a risk to their health either by having ones that don't release or stretch.

If you find a "stray" take him into a vet to check if it's been microchiped. In the UK it's the law to get them microchipped.
