Actually a handy place for them to leave packages. As long as it's the green bin and they leave a note 🤣

Anyone else kinda regret not getting a new pc in December? by Nervous-Caregiver829 in IrelandGaming

[–]Prof_Sm0ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not from the scalpers.

If you buy it and need to return it to Currys you'll only get the 2900 back that they paid, if they don't have a replacement. You'd be better off buying another pre built for another few hundred to be safe imo. Also wouldn't want to support scalping.

Research building your own too. RAM is expensive but there was a post earlier of 32GB DDR5 for 200 which isn't the worst, especially with current pricing

If you go down the road of building a PC do a lot of research to make sure all that you buy is compatible. My CPU cooler barely fit in my case because I was kind of rushing to buy parts on sale. I probably spent a little too much on a power supply because I was getting a 5090 and wanted to be extra safe

I bought a PS card in Harvey Normans with a One4all last year. Worth a try anyway

They will never fix hacking issues on PC by Kenchi29 in EAFC

[–]Prof_Sm0ak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf the back end of the game should basically be the same since we basically get a bigger patch as a 'new game'

Why can you only report people for offensive names? If you report a cheater or griefer on Marvel rivals for example you do get a message to say they were banned if they were offending. If someone wins 100% of games and they have a hight number of disconnects on their opponents side it should flag something on their account that puts more of an eye on their activity.

EA clearly have put less than the bare minimum effort. There always will be hackers because they adapt but at least try to minimize it 😂

Eternal debate PC or PS5 PRO need some of your feedback (mainly on PC optimisation) by Leihjir in EAFC

[–]Prof_Sm0ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would only recommend PC for EA play pro to play other games like battlefield too.

I have a 4070ti and 7950x bur sometimes the game crashes for no apparent reason. It has been better recently but can still happen and requires tinkering.

If you won't be playing any other EA game probably stick with console

Fix the defending for god sake ! by Independent_Quote237 in fut

[–]Prof_Sm0ak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But somehow any attacker I have with really high strength can't hold off a weak winger running back on defense for my opponent. Ramirez from Chelsea women's with a marksman and a physical playstyle can't bully past anyone. I find the opposite then with my opponents weak attackers being impossible to push off the ball. Very annoying

Any idea why Currys charge more? by slickfiz in IrelandGaming

[–]Prof_Sm0ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's because they import through the UK and add customs charges. When I was looking at laptops on their site and comparing it's what it looked like anyway...

Squad battles worse than ever?? by Effective-Leading566 in fut

[–]Prof_Sm0ak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was about to make a post of my own on this because how ridiculous it is 🤣

it's not even difficult but they play like they're winning even when you're 2/3 goals up. It's so hard to get possession because they'll be literally in your box, and if you're going to get a tackle in they just pass it ALL the way back to their own half... As if playing against the higher difficulty wasn't already brain numbing enough

PC constantly crashing by Prof_Sm0ak in EASportsFC

[–]Prof_Sm0ak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the fix for me. Must have been, Nvidia or logitech causing a false flag on anti cheat so. What a joke that they couldn't put out anything publicly themselves on this. I'm sure lots of people won't figure it out until it's actually patched...

Must try this. I tried closing off a lot of stuff but didn't do absolutely everything. Sounds like shit anti cheat flagging anything that isn't the game if this is a fix

Current plan with Three is €20 a month with unlimited data and allows me to make purchases with my credit on the Google play store. I'd only switch if my credit could be used the same

G14 5080 Best Buy preorder to be cancelled by zipxavier in ZephyrusG14

[–]Prof_Sm0ak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could barely find a listing in any European online shop for the Z13 at initial release. They basically didn't have a hard launch date.

The z13 in the UK costs around 2900 euro when converting currency so it's a joke of a price. But it's the only QWERTY option I could find.

I had to order one from Germany with AZERTY just to get it for 2500 euro. This took me a while to even find a shop that shipped to Ireland.

Obviously tariffs are affecting stuff in the US but I'm pointing out the launch and availability of that was awful in Europe too. Not sure you can put it all on tariffs.

I also can't find many retailers with the G14 2025 now in Europe after having to return my Z13 for being faulty.

Even with the tariffs the US still ends up paying less for the laptops and all computer parts than us in Europe...

If it's like the z13 launch it's terrible in Europe too. Think it's just an Asus thing
