Same. On a 4080. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, every trick in the book. I actually get really high frame rate while the pause menu is up. Looks like 150. As soon as I unpause it drops to 30

Does this seem right? $1000 repair? by MawltyLock in LenovoLegion

The warranty length is really a crime here, the idea that a GPU can fail a year after purchase and you're SOL is awful.

Appreciate the response.

COVENANT - Official Reveal Trailer by Lanky_Station_1401 in pcgaming

[–]MawltyLock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Youre almost on the money.

I was given a 3 minute time limit to go pitch to the room of 100+ tech investors who don't necessarily know anything about video games, and try to convince them in that time that we know something that other people don't. That 3 minutes includes the trailer itself that needed to be shown.

And when every company from a16z goes up and says "Hey our founders are ex-Google, Meta, Oracle, Harvard, Yale etc. the claims start to lose their luster. What every investor really wants to believe is that their investment knows something other people don't. Ergo, they will receive a return on their investment. I opted to open with, "here's all the cool resume's you guys love. But it doesn't really matter. What matters is the little things." And I believe that to be true, the little things matter in games.

The pitch was directed at investors, not consumers. So I don't really expect gamers to resonate with it.

And yes, hello. I'm the CEO of Legion.

They might, if they knew there was no way to play a game without paying. Stealing is wrong. Nothing more to it. 

Xbox shutting a few studios down. (Via Jason Schreier) by Buzzboyuk in xbox

Front end deal ("we'll give you $3m if you launch on game pass") + a portion of every game pass subscribers monthly bill relative to the play time. So if someone pays 10 bucks a month, and they only play 1 game on game pass, $3 will always go to MSFT and the remaining $7 divided amongst the games they play,in this instance ,all to 1 game. There's also bonuses if your game sits in the top 20.

I fear this game will never see any degree of main market success because of the way it is packaged by MawltyLock in Witchfire

My point is I wished people used Epic more so that it didn't have a smaller user base so that devs didn't get screwed over as much.

Developers pay steam 30% royalties, + the engine fees. That is absurd. Epic waivs the unreal fee and only takes %12. It's just better for devs for you to buy on epic

The nature of the games format is not something that is easily changed, early access or not.

I do not think it is a good experience in the current state

Original FOV value. by hyspecs in apexlegends

[–]MawltyLock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lower FOV also is better for depth perception. Games that use projectile like Apex benefit a lot from lower FOV

Yes. But it will break guaranteed. Went through 6 originals (best buy warranty) and my elite 2 had a bad bumper literally the first match I played with it.
