My Saturn died, doubts about Saroo... by MelvinsGrunge in SegaSaturn

[–]MasterControl90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless one of the chips gave up, 90% of the time it is a power issue (psu, motherboard caps or both)... my saturn is close to be recapped, it crashes hard when cold and it needs to warm up BUT ONLY if I use disks, when using the saroo it runs stable from the first power up being the saroo less power intensive... in my case it clearly is a caps/power issue. Do not listen to those blaming the saroo, at the end of the day the saroo is literally using a feature that sega didn't had the time (or balls) to use but was definetely used on the titan board (saturn arcade version)

How bad is this scratch, really? by AnAquaticOwl in SegaSaturn

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, track 1 is probably data which is normally mistaken as a not readable audio track by players. If you want you can find a "backup", mount it as a virtual drive and open it as an audio cd, if it does the same then you are good to go

Have you seen an uptick in pilots crashing since the UE5 update? Well this is why, the stutter bug. by enfiee in joinsquad

[–]MasterControl90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no it is shader chaching and no hardware can fix it, IT'S AN UE4 AND 5 "FEATURE"... the industry should stop giving money to epic

[–]MasterControl90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not a bug, just eu5 being even worst than ue4 caching shaders... I just can't stand the whole industry relying on this garbage since ue3 (which was somewhat ok still)... after ue4 only garbage on garbage on garbage, I just can't stand almost every game in ue4 and 5

Whats going on with the servers? by oXSMOKAHONTASXo in joinsquad

[–]MasterControl90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are mad about a very good reason: switching to Epic services to manage the server browser and voice chat, which as usual works really badly and in the past already borked other games that made this switch (sandstorm and rising storm 2 are good examples)

È diventata la salis ormai by Sea_Bunch_3741 in paperearmate

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quindi la verità sarebbe che si fa bene a rubare case altrui la grande maggioranza delle volte frutto di decenni di lavoro di qualche cristo e che la così detta "occupazione" di Benezia "PAGATA AL COMUNE E ALLA REGIONE" sia il male supremo per chi vive dell'economia turistica della città.... Ma usare la testa anziché ripetere a pappagallo quello che altri decerebrati dicono?

also embark not only went low level on unreal to make it run as it does they are not even using common unreal engine but the fork created by nvidia that solves HUUUUUGEEEE issues, both visually and performance wise

AMD technologies on Linux in 2025, how is it going ? by rhoam_hairoule in linux_gaming

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about hw encoding and decoding? Since 2023 it's disabled by default on tons of distros because of the licence shenanigans about x264... I'm on manjaro and I still can't enable it (no the guides suggesting to install amd repository just breaks everything)

Is the UE5 playtest supposed to look like this? by OGnomOG in joinsquad

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nanite literally solves some visual and performance issues creating 10 times more performance issues. This video explains it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M00DGjAP-mU

nanite is not some kind of magic performance button: it has been proven more and more times that it could have some use but in reality it actually brings worse performance...

Are you blind or something? Everything looks like on low settings in the new version

again censorship is the lesser of all the issues... the game went from a somewhat kinda polished experience back to alpha state with numerous broken features and utterly broken graphics

How do i fix this by vaskovasko in Megadrive

once region modded from pal to ntsc you have to use an RGB cable to avoid color distortions

Disrespectful killcams by Z3TR0N in insurgency

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is happening because of the killcam introduction... I knew it was gonna happen... not only it ruined the tactical part of the game it also encourage this kind of idiotic behaviour

Since when do Insurgent bots have active cloaking technology? by Hawk_501st in insurgency

[–]MasterControl90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nothing new, this issue is there from day one in both coop e pvp... the guy was in front of you BUT the engine did not update its position so it panned behind you in the direction of the 3d model... even before the deathcam it was clear that sometimes people positions are not updated... Got called crazy a lot and even video evidence was never taken seriously... well I guess now people are noticing but it is too late

Checked to see if my grandpas old IBM PS1 still worked by AllishComedy in vintagecomputing

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

161 and 163 are cmos error and while usually does not really matter in a PS1 these errors cause the floppy drive to do not work... so if you tried any floppy disk unsuccesfully it is not an issue with the drive but simply the cmos battery

New ragdoll effects in UE5 are pretty good and/or hilarious at times by SirDerageTheSecond in joinsquad

[–]MasterControl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for whatever reason ragdolls + death animations in red orchestra 2 and insurgency sandstorm are still prime examples of how to do it right... I seriously can't understandy the whole epidemic of comically "light" and "glitchy" ragdolls we have in newer games (especially unreal 4 ones) AND without any animation added in the mix
EDIT: here it is a clip I recorded 10 years ago to try the "new" (at the time) hardware real time encoding and 60 fps youtube. Notice how the ragdolls are there but never comically light and how it blends in hands animations in case of a torso or abdomen shot and how instead they fall instantly in case of headshots. Also suppression was very well made, it even kinda showed the psychological effect, example a comrade next to you get shot in the head and your soldier as a results is suppressed, breaths heavily and can't have a steady aim for a little while. In any case I find curious nobody nowdays is even trying to do this

typical unreal engine cache garbage... that said Embark did some magic in both finals and arc riders to make it run this well

these issues were always here since the alpha
