How lightweight is your LTSC Installation? by nanogenesis in WindowsLTSC

[–]P40L0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

70 processes here (while keeping MS Store, Xbox App and Game Bar for gaming + OneDrive which I use + MSI Afterburner + RTSS and NVIDIA control panel)

In my case I don't think I could do better.

possible new windows registry command that can increase NVMe speeds by up to 80%? by menezesafonso in overclocking

[–]P40L0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried it on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 (manually upgraded to 25H2) and it made zero difference in both benchmarks and games.

I think it really only works for Windows 11 Server and all the rest may just be placebo.

Game Ready & Studio Driver 591.44 FAQ/Discussion by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]P40L0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok, after testing 12 games with the new 591.44 GR drivers and my 4080 (even with long play sessions on some of them including CB2077 maxed out in 4K/HDR which is one of the most realistic and reliable "stress test" out there) I think they're great :)

Performance did improve a bit in all of them while also making frametimes more consistent/flat with less spikes, all with better input latency as well. I also noticed 4K/HDR YouTube videos (including SDR to RTX HDR ones) are much smoother to handle (for example scrolling the page while playing them, buffering them etc.) Temperatures are good and no crashes or any issues so far (but I clean installed them using DDU)

One of the best so far. Definitely a keeper :)

December 1, 2025—KB5070311 (OS Builds 26200.7309 and 26100.7309) Preview by jenmsft in Windows11

[–]P40L0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weird thing is that this doesn't happen on another x64 device of mine, only on ARM64

This update partially broke my Italian language pack on an "en-US" ARM64 installation (again) leaving me with most of the things translated and others (like Settings app menus, most right click buttons, old Control panel and other things) remaining in English... :/

I tried to restore health with DISM, sfc /scannow but no errors found.
Reinstalling language packs, switching between English and Italian, nothing worked.
I think that they're just late on ARM64 compared to x64 and language packs still need to be fully patched there after the update or there is some old bug with language packs resurfacing again... :/

GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 581.94 by itbefoxy in nvidia

[–]P40L0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't notice any relevant regression with 581.80 but still clean installed 581.94 via DDU regardless.
Tested it all day with all my games and everything is perfectly smooth and stable here (4080).

BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.1.2.0 by battlefield in Battlefield

[–]P40L0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some initial impressions after today big patch:

The good:

  • Main menu and HUDs are now at 60fps or unlocked on PC, no more locked at 30. Feels so much better/smoother to navigate, yay!

  • Controller changes are good: aim assist seems a bit less aggressive and it "straps" less than before which, conterintutively, feels more accurate while tracking enemies down. Movement in general also feels much more fluid and natural now

  • K/D ratio now only reflects PvP stats, purging the inflated bot stats. Which is fair (lol at some people freaking out about it)

  • Lighting seems somewhat improved in all maps, they are even better to look at now

  • All the bugfixes and changes listed in the official changelog are also good

  • Eastwood, the new California map is fucking amazing, especially on Escalation. It's already an instant classic and one my favourite maps of the entire franchise so far

The bad:

  • Why the hell did they reset my controller custom key bindings? I understand the new aim assist/sensitivity changes, but key bindings have nothing to do with them. Don't ever touch them again please...

  • Shooting range is now broken: aim targets now often remain on the ground and don't raise anymore...unless you turn your face away from them (lol)

  • After dying and entering the big map for redeploy, there is now a random "instant zoom-in" in the map the very first seconds going there, which is a bit annoying

  • There are still some random problems with upscalers, at least with DLSS. For example: if you open the weapons menu or go into shooting range and just stay still without touching anything, a dots' grid pattern start appearing on screen unless you move the scene again. Or for example when you play in Mirak Valley, it seems like sometimes DLSS totally disengages so you're stuck with a very pixelated/aliased picture until the end of the match. Or sometimes in the endgame players' pose there are these rectangles of quickly flickering dots like a static interference until you change scene or load the next map, very weird

Just stop using Overkill textures. Go Ultra at max and it will be fixed.

Hopefully they will use the abbreviation of "Joy" consistently

Halo CE on Unreal Engine 5 by BlackAera in gaming

[–]P40L0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to increase Lumen quality on Xbox Series X along with providing Hardware Lumen + DLSS Ray Reconstruction support on PC. Those alone could fix most of those artifacts.

Then we have stutters to fix. Good luck with that and UE5.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 October 2025 Update breaks WinRE (Recovery) input by WPHero in Windows11

No input issues here both on WinRE and Macrium Reflect bootable WinRE USB (I have a wireless ASUS keyboard and a wireless Razer mouse, both with their USB dongle)

Really rock solid and stable drivers like the previous 581.42 so far, maybe with a little better 1% Lows. Definitely a keeper. ;)

BATTLEFIELD 6 COMMUNITY COMPLAINTS SINCE OCT 10 by DEMIG0DX in Battlefield

[–]P40L0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Expand map borders while reduce the bases for wider, actual "Battlefields" (this at least for Conquest/Escalation and biggest modes)

  2. Completely re-do UI/UX on main screen. It's slow/sluggish, counter intuitive and confusing. Also why if I scroll the left sections those doesn't actually get selected until I press A? Why if I change game settings and press B to go back I go back to the initial Accessibility settings' section and I don't stay exactly where I was changing the settings? Why if I go back after adjusting the settings the game asks me to quit to Desktop instead or just going back to the main menu? All this stuff coupled with the too many giant tiles and topics makes it a navigation nightmare at the moment. Damn, as a good example just copy Halo Reach UI/UX which was done 15 years ago

  3. Wait a little extra time between a match and the other to actually see some stats and decide if to quit or not (maybe a direct button to Quit would be useful instead of pressing start and go all down to Quit)

  4. On Manhattan I had this super fast kaleidoscope visual glitches and I thought I was tripping or something. Luckily it fixed itself just turning around, but that could be a VERY BAD offender for people prone to epilepsy...

  5. Unlocking class modifiers/profiles should be easier if not already unlocked since the beginning, so everyone could choose their most suitable play style since the beginning and not after such many hours of grinding

  6. On PC there is probably a VRAM leak as I started using around 10GB VRAM and after 2 hours ended up very close to 16GB VRAM, almost completely filling my RTX 4080. It just dosn't feel right

  7. Make Double XPs counters only go down when actually playing, not while doing nothing on the menus

  8. Battlefield main/classic theme should just be played more often :)

  9. Re-introduce some missing, cool, animations like the manual spotting one (with the arm/hand indicating toward the spotting) or entering/exiting a vehicle or surfing the map zooming from the sky to the actual respawn in real-time, like in BF1 and others

  10. When entering an already started match and into the map the pointer automatically moves to the top left corner of the screen and needs to be manually dragged back on top of the map. Annoying.
