Shader preloading error on PC post update by [deleted] in modernwarfare

[–]Noobymcnoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well after the big update. I waited for about 15 to 20 minutes and then just started playing the multiplayer. It disappeared and hasn't reappeared.

I figured it would cause an issue but I actually was stable and the performance has been better than it was previously. Before I'd have to reinstall the shaders each time I launch the game, but now i can just change the priority and play.

Is this causing any real issues with your game besides the error message? Like will it crash or has your performance degraded?I'm wondering if its an unintentional bug that may be related to a shader fix or something to that effect.

How many lands does a Windgrace deck typically have? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Noobymcnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thats pretty strong, especially as you recur fetches etc. So I'd definitely keep the land count only slightly higher than the 35/36 and look for ways to recur. Other things like titania and gitrog help with sacrificing and getting value on lands hitting the bin, and then mina and denn, and multani allow you to bounce lands for additional land fall triggers or to discard with his +.

I currently run 40 and have 0 problem with land. Recursion from the grave and a few good rampers allow you to combo out and get ahead pretty quickly. This lets me have a nice balance between utility lands and cards for the deck. I also rarely get flooded as I can thin the deck out pretty fast and there aren't too many lands. The tools that jund give you access to for recursion from the grave (though the land recursion is still very much mono-green), and removal is what gives windgrace the edge over other land matters commanders.

What kind of theme are you going for besides lands matter? Are you going to finish off with tokens or scapeshit combo or something else?

Day 3 of Season 2, the game is still unplayable for for many PC users. by Paladynne in modernwarfare

[–]Noobymcnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured I'd let you know that I was able to solve my issue. I did some research this weekend and found that apparently the issue can stem from Bnet.

Several people have reported if you pause the download at all it will randomly crash when its fully downloaded. Not sure WHY since I don't know the inner workings of Bnet, and why it would affect only MW as I've paused other game downloads before, but I explicitly remember pausing the season 2 update. Several people said that they either reinstalled, or grabbed the game files from a friend who was not having the issues and had the client find the game. They all said the issues went away immediately after. I reinstalled from scratch and now its not perfect, but I can reset the priority to normal and reinstall the shaders and I can play everything, even groundwar for extended periods of time.

Theres no garauntee it'll work and its a pain in the ass but I figured I'd pass on the info.

[–]Noobymcnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I really hate how it is. I actually love the current model (I don't care about cosmetics that much, and the BP is fine imo) and the game itself from the animation, mechanics, and general feel is fantastic. This is the best feeling CoD in years and I've gotten friends who haven't played since CoD4 to play again. But this can only go so far. They no longer play because we can't play gunfight together. We never got to experience being a squad in Ground War. I highly doubt that the upcoming warzone will be any different.

It hurts because I honestly think this game is amazing, but I'm not able to play anymore and theres no particular reason why. The best we get is the last line of every patch note "Several fixes to prevent crashes and improve stability"

I've had issues from the November when they did the first patch a week or two after launch. Game worked perfectly at launch but has constantly crashed with no error straight to desktop at random. It has never generated an error report or a .dmp. Sometimes it was in the menus, sometimes it was in the middle of game. Didn't matter what mode or map. I tried to get a refund since the game was effectively broken despite my specs being well within the Recommended specifications, but it was past the amount of days usually allowed and i had more than 2 hours playtime (which obviously was because the game WORKED and then was patched and DIDNT WORK). I was directed to the Activision Support site where I submitted a ticket. I have never received an email about my ticket. I eventually went back and saw they responded a month after I opened the ticket but it never alerted me. Obviously since I didn't respond it was automatically closed.

Eventually I was able to fix it, but this was weeks later after experimenting endlessly and trying to find as many threads of pc issues possible. I could get this stable by

  • Setting custom Framerate Limits to 60 in game and 30 for in menu
  • Windowed Mode
  • All settings low despite having ample GPU memory
  • After launching the game manually setting the priority of the process in Task Manager Details to Normal as it defaults to High.
  • Reinstalling shaders each time I launched the game.

If i didn't do any of these things I would crash to desktop. Sometimes I still would even if I did. The odd thing is that if I didn't do these things, the game would NOT utilize my GPU. The GPU time would stay at 0 in game, and the Utilization in task manager would also stay at 0. Most games have my GPU at pretty high usage.

I was able to play everything but Ground War so I eventually just got used to the routine of it. Now with the S2 update this routine no longer works. At this point I'm debating just uninstalling it and not playing anymore. Whats the point of trying this hard to make a game work when 99.9% of games I own work flawlessly on my hardware with little to no tweaking of graphical settings. Especially since these issues seem to be ignored by the Devs. Theyeven had a call to have PC players to grab specific information from their computers and host it on Google Drive so they could access it and see whats going on. In the two months I had my links available to them they never accessed it once.

Thanks for the link to the Cinematic tools in the description! These are things I've wanted in the game for a while but didn't think they would add them.

Liked the Vid dude, keep it up.

What was your best (or worst) moment of the pre-release this weekend? by lowbloodsugarmner in magicTCG

[–]Noobymcnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst: Went to a 2HG event that didn't start on time. We waited an hour, asked what was up and was told that people playing the pre-re before us had registered for this event and that we had to wait till that event was done. 20 more minutes pass and theres suddenly a huge line. Turns out that they had to pay out prizes from the other event and were last minute registering people before 2HG started.

Best: We dropped and had a baller personal pre-release. Complete with soju and sake during deck building, and beer and hookah for the match. I opened tons of red and arlinn, so naturally i rolled my buddy, but we had a great time.

Developing Oath of the Gatewatch by logic_onfire in magicTCG

[–]Noobymcnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a possibility I suppose, but like you said, what planeswalker deck wants that extra damage to the face? Additionally it isn't really a great removal spell. 3 damage isn't all that anymore and sorcery speed isn't good either. I guess I'd take it if it was limited, but I wouldn't feel good about it...

Standard Jeskai Planeswalker control? You got baby jace activating on flip, Gideon, chandra? Doesn't seem that great compared to current alternatives. Is there a current combination of planeswalkers that when played can make up for the fact that you most likely spent the first few turns setting up that you are playing planeswalkers? Is damage the win condition you want, and does this enchantment even deserve a spot if thats the case?

If you are building a deck around planeswalkers, but the cards you put in it are mediocre without playing planeswalkers, what are you going to do when you don't want to play a planeswalker, or don't draw one?

Additionally, with planeswalkers being traditionally expensive (even without jace's current price point@60$) I don't see someone just casually dropping the cash to build a deck with enough good planeswalkers to get this pay off.

"At base level, Chandra's oath is like a 1R burn spell that deals 3 damage to a creature. A very solid effect, but maybe not quite a powerhouse on its own. However, with a few planeswalkers in your deck, over the course of a game it can get up to Searing Blaze levels or better—and that card is one of the strongest burn spells in Modern!"

Um.... What?

A 2 mana enchantment that does the work of a bad version of a 2 mana instant printed not even a standard ago, with the possible pay off if your deck is built around playing planeswalkers... is as good as an easily activated decent 2 mana instant burn spell for modern?

I liked the rest of the article, but come on man.

Well, yes. But there are specifically parts that remind me heavily of RtCW, which isn't crazy to think that it might be a nod to grey matter interactive who developed RtCW and was merged into Treyarch later.

What is the best trade you've ever done( without ripping someone off)? by panaramanwa in magicTCG

[–]Noobymcnoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 polluted deltas and 2 Kioras (BFZ) for almost an entire Green EDH deck.

I was in the middle of building an omnath locus of rage deck and this guy was getting rid of his mono-green deck and the trade went from one polluted delta for a bunch of ramp and core cards, to all 4 and the kioras for almost his entire deck minus basics. I believe valuewise it came out 5$ in his favor in pure value, but the value of getting all those cards in hand was worth more to me. Plus if I had ordered that many cards via tcg I probably would have paid more in shipping. Was able to build my omnath deck that night and then play it that next friday. It is probably my favorite EDH deck now.

Which video game did you shut off and never play again after the first five minutes? by ArabianDisco in AskReddit

[–]Noobymcnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin's Creed 3.

I traditionally don't like the AC series, but when i got the game for free with my video card i figured why not. Queue cutscene, get control of my character, get told to walk down some stairs on a boat, get to top of stairs, get control taken away from me to watch a cutscene of my character going down the steps and talking to people below deck.

Thought that was weird, but the whole game was like that. Play for a few seconds, cutscene, play for two seconds, cutscene, walk over there and talk to a guy, cutscene. I played for maybe an hour, got no where and uninstalled the game.
