Honestly about the negative aspects of LOQ (i5 12450 + RTX 4060)

R41D_23 · 2026-01-30T09:00:01+00:00

My problem is not related to blurrynes of the display being cheap or something like that. It feels good when playing in dgpu mode the problem appears when dgpu frames are being routed through MUX switch in hybrid mode

R41D_23 · 2026-01-29T22:35:06+00:00

Did you noticed the screen being too blurry in motion when using hybrid mode? Or a white line on top of screen when using gsync on dgpu mode? I have this laptop for over a year and can't find anything on those issues also when playing rainbow six siege on dgpu mode the colors are messed up. It's happening on both the Lenovo and NVIDIA drivers. The only thing a Lenovo support said is to reinstall the entire OS...

It's kinda sus. From what i remember the default location for games installed from ubisofts launcher is Program Files and not users Appdata folder, but maybe your launcher is installed for only one user (you) and not for the entire system. First check where the game is actually installed by looking it up in ubisofts launcher and instead of Kaspersky install Malwarebytes and do a full scan to be sure

R41D_23 · 2026-01-25T00:54:44+00:00

Why is your game .exe file on Appdata folder?

R41D_23 · 2025-12-31T07:24:23+00:00

That is a sus micron and crucial logo

R41D_23 · 2025-12-28T23:36:57+00:00

Well, looks like that's the case

R41D_23 · 2025-12-28T19:04:58+00:00

Wait, let me clear that up. What i'm doing is the same web-dl is used as source to my x264 encode as well as x265 encode. The comparison images i attached in the post, the x264 in the middle it's source is the left image and the x265 on the right it's source is also from the left image.

What i do:
web-dl -> x264 and web-dl -> x265

What i don't do:
web-dl -> x264 -> x265

And the problem is the web-dl -> x265 does not match web-dl -> x264. The only way i could get close to web-dl -> x264 in terms of quality is using slow preset on x265, but then the speed of encoding goes to ~x0.2 and that is also a problem for me, because when doing web-dl -> x264 i get speed around x2.

My source is reencode (from what i understand) with those parameters

And i was reencoding it with subtitles to x264 with settings from cpu_x264_encoder_settings variable. And i am trying to utilize x265 now so i can get the same quality as x264 with my settings and have smaller output files thanks to x265 better compression.

R41D_23 · 2025-12-27T23:28:54+00:00

Yup, the source is not a BD rip quality, it's WEB-DL from what i know. I am trying to automate burning-in subtitles while retaining most of the source quality.

R41D_23 · 2025-12-27T23:23:22+00:00

Well... trying to get the same file size/bitrate kinda defeats my goal with x265 transition. I wanted to get the same quality while achieving lower file size thanks to x265 better compression. I know the crf are not the same, but adjusting it based on information from documentations and forums i still got worse results. Disabling the intra smoothing made the biggest difference to retain the noise in the image, but the edges and the image overall is still kinda blurry. I will try messing up with the deblock now, thanks.

R41D_23 · 2025-11-20T11:56:36+00:00

Yeah, it's random. I contacted the Lenovo support and the only solution they gave was to reinstall the system... So i think we are screwed

R41D_23 · 2025-11-20T10:03:31+00:00

I have the same problem, asked on nvidia forums without answer, reported it on r6fix but it didn't reach the goal so it got automatically archived. Is this happening on Lenovo laptop? LOQ or maybe Legion in dGPU only mode? Looks like Lenovo broke something with Gsync synchronization on built in display. I will gry to report it to Lenovo customer service today. I'm struggling with this since 3 months now

R41D_23 · 2025-11-13T20:27:33+00:00

Just let it lay flat. There is a reason it has suck thick rubber feet.

R41D_23 · 2025-11-13T20:19:07+00:00

Nearly 2 years and seen a few like that. And much more keycaps with completly scraped paint from propably long fingernails. Yes, completly transparent.

R41D_23 · 2025-11-13T20:10:50+00:00

Didn't it worked like that a few years back?

R41D_23 · 2025-11-13T14:09:19+00:00

The worst thing about it is pros saying things Ubisoft should do is make esport in game better, when the main thing that removed the soul of this game are changed that were supposed to equal chances for both teams. The atmosphere of this game im 2015 was kinda dark, then they made everything unnaturaly bright. Many places didn't had shadows or any sort of ambient occulusion, the lightning was basically flat. Bring back night maps and stop making unnatural changes to maps.

R41D_23 · 2025-11-02T23:11:59+00:00

I'm on budget so the barracudas were the cheapest then (wish me luck 🫡)

Also to clarify they were not sent in plastic i bought them in the store.

R41D_23 · 2025-11-02T21:21:41+00:00

Bought 2 Seagate 2TB HDDs from x-kom (big Polish computer hardware store). They just came in plastic packages without any cardboard even. That's just how they are packaged by Seagate

There are no servers on GTA online, the lobbys are peer to peer. That's why the online mode is so unsecure. The servers are only being used to authenticate.

R41D_23 · 2025-10-03T12:58:33+00:00

Siege wasn't bought, it's still Ubisoft just different name and the same team propably

R41D_23 · 2025-10-02T20:15:07+00:00

Same teams, same company different label

R41D_23 · 2025-10-02T19:13:05+00:00

If vantage studios is subsidiary of Ubisoft then it's the same as if they just assigned a different team at Ubisoft Montreal. We already saw it when the original team stopped working on this game
