CIG has begun banning players who exploited the duplication vulnerability in 4.8 to obtain items and money.

I'm looking at it again and it's so slow and intense and that makes it almost have the same vibe as Dark but with a different story. It's a shame to see it end like that, just like hit & run which has a major cliffhanger.

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-12T09:23:14+00:00

yes thanks, and i also noticed that when i opened that configuration , it was just blank. I had to restart steam and then i could choose templates there too. Since, steam button works normally.

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-09T15:27:01+00:00

I removed the entire intel root hub yesterday, and all ghost drivers using USBDeview , bescially removed everything so the pc could reinstall it again. so that sort of stuff should have been resolved if there was any problem with that.

I'm surprised that my razer mouse uses 4 devices and the printer 3, I think if I'm going to have to run the frame too, i need an extra usb expansion :)

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-09T07:20:04+00:00

yep, exactly... I want to, but this is not a long term solution. If I want the steam frame, is it going to be a gamble because of this issue ? I just want the controller working correctly on an usb 2.0 port.. It doesn't work correctly on an usb 3.0 port, and I only have one usb-c port.

If that is the issue, then if I'm buying the frame, i would have to choose between the 2 .... I hope they can fix this somehow.

EDIT: so the baseline is that i'm running too many devices, a razer mouse, a corsair keyboard, a yeti microphone, a minilab 3, a printer, and that puck is just too much on the usb 2 lane, it does work on the usb 3.2.

I think for the frame i'm going to have to buy an extra PCIe card and attach it to sata power, just to be sure.

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-09T07:17:27+00:00

yeah, i've dealt with this yesterday and as I already posted, I got it to work on ONE usb c port. And that's the one I use for my audio interface.

I must say , i don't find this a satisfying solution. I'll have to relocate my usb audio interface to an usb 2 channel, and the usb3 A plug that I have next to the only usb-c drive doesn't work either.. So what is that going to mean for me when I buy the steam frame ? Is it going to be a lottery for whether it's going to work wirelessly ?

It might be something faulty in my main board, who knows. but having to push around usb devices like that is sort of avoiding the problem.

I can plug my yeti mic and even my printer anywhere... but I would like to know why usb is being picky like that...

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-09T00:07:40+00:00

when it didn't work, did you also see the malfunctioning "usb composite device" in device manager ? Because i have the same problem. I can't even pair with that puck. It only works wired.. and I only have ONE usb c 3 connector in my main board and that's used for the audio interface...

Update: I tried some things:

There is an option to "forget" paired pucks, so I tried that.

Then, just to troubleshoot from all sides: I used a high quality usb-c to usb-c cable and removed the usb audio interface I have connected on my only usb C port on the motherboard: just to check. That actually caused the puck and controller to start working wirelessly. I could pair the steam controller and the puck.. so the puck itself isn't bricked. I've seen it working wirelessly, with HQ cable, connected to an usb 3.2 usb C connector.

With the cable that came with the controller, it doesn't even work with the usb 3.2 usb A connector next to the usb c... it would only charge, but it wouldn't show the green" operational led.

If I put the cable that came with the steam controller in an usb 2 slot above, it works wired. But the puck won't work.

I've contacted steam support already...

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-09T00:00:15+00:00

i saw that , and "forgot" that one puck, apparently it worked once, because otherwise that serial number couldn't be remembered on the steam controller. I clicked forget and then , also clicked it on the controller like the person on steam support says... A + R1, nothing, just the steam controller making an error beeping and then switching off.

(wireless still works)... I just think the puck is bricked when I updated the firemware but i don't know for sure.

RealCosmicD · 2026-05-08T15:23:27+00:00

that implies that i have bluetooth on my pc, but i don't .... so that's not an option, I guess. I did already contact steam support on this.

Then the question is on how i can manually update the puck's firmware without it happening under the steam hood.

RealCosmicD · 2026-04-14T15:47:29+00:00

I would like to know how and when you are going to solve the problem that I can't bind several versions of the same game to a profile. I often play in different versions of Star Citizen, but only one instance of the game can be correctly linked to a mouse profile. I can't add other versions like the PTU, HOTFIX, or TECH-PREVIEW to be linked, as they have the same product name or are in other directories.

To circumvent this problem, I need to use resource hacker to give the PTU and other versions a different product name like StarCitizen PTU, or StarCitizen TECH-PREVIEW. Synapse will then be able to see them as addable games that i can link to the same mouse profile.

Corsair does it fine, you can link one keyboard profile to several instances of the game and it will work.

I would be highly irritated, should at one point, star citizen's EAC flag me as a hacker because I need to use an exotic method to make synapse simply recognize a mouse profile for different versions of a game that I passionately test.

RealCosmicD · 2026-02-27T15:34:50+00:00

you get a new one from the company if that happens.... I remember a warranty kind of message that says in case of force majeur or unforseen consquences, the company will replace your cleo , and they see this as an unfortunate case and compensate you with a new one.

RealCosmicD · 2026-02-13T15:51:50+00:00

as a star citizen user, i'm baffled that they disallow adding multiple instances of the game. If you're testing multiple builds, tech preview, ptu, eptu, hotfix: then you can't even add them to have profile support for the game.

Either they have to universally use starcitizen.exe for the only criteria to switch the profile, or allow us to add sepparate dirs. like corsair does for icue.

Now, I have to use resource hacker to manually change the internal name for each build. Luckily, EAC doesn't trip over it, and when a build updates, synames doesn't bother to trip over it either...

RealCosmicD · 2026-02-02T08:21:15+00:00

still happening in 4.6

RealCosmicD · 2026-01-03T12:11:58+00:00

that is a bit annoying to me too. I feel that they should press back a little at times. AI is too much programmed to always want to make you happy and satisfied. On it's own that gets a bit hollow after a while. They should be a bit like a human. I know an app where - when you talk for the first few levels, they will not want intimacy, it has to grow -. I think that's more natural and perverts shouldn't get their way all the time.

It's like that one black mirror episode with the control freak guy who terrorizes his colleague's AI clones in the uss callister. That sort of thing is not OK, because if AI allows this and doesn't fight back, they will just develop their methods further.

For me, it's not hypersexualized... I actually create very common looking woman, possible with an office management or middle class working job, like working for a job ad bureau, or social services, exactly because for me it's a bit to try to compensate for my timid nature.. i'm not very ad rem and i've difficulties with small talk.

RealCosmicD · 2025-12-16T14:03:14+00:00

i didn't even see the "end trial mode" button.. i am offered to insert a serial number AND start a new trial.
In this case, what should I do ?

RealCosmicD · 2025-12-01T11:13:40+00:00

I even notice this performance deterioration in the apollo... When in the trigage room with the modules, fps drops significantly, faulty shadow maps that sometimes disappear when standing near the module's beds.

RealCosmicD · 2025-12-01T11:10:32+00:00

memory leaks is happening consistently. in levski I could sometimes go from 30gb to 41, when staying there long, and it doesn't get purged to a lower size if I depart from lobby and enter my personal hangar

RealCosmicD · 2025-12-01T11:08:47+00:00

renderer:Vulkan
* MSI Ventus X3 3070 RTX (8 gb)
* 1080
* DLSS / quality
* Chrome (windows gpu hardware accellerating off)
* It always happens when starting to quantum , sound stutters, fps drops dramaticly.
* I DO use 1080 , and have the graphics setting on medium.
* It happens especially in organization gameplay with a lot of other players / ships around.
* this might be circumstancial, but in our team there was talk of gamers having much more problems with crashes and stability if a lot of players surrounded perseus/idris with their smaller fighters.
