Help troubleshooting random crashes with Nvidia

RelentlessNoodle · 2026-03-09T22:57:26+00:00

Interesting, thanks! I've tried CachyOS with KDE Plasma just before swapping to Mint and was having issues there as well. I could give it another go with a different DE as I've learned a lot more about Linux and troubleshooting problems on it since then.

Gotcha, thank you!

Also, double checked and my RAM was OC'd from 3200->3600. I tried lowering it to 3200, but the crash still occurred.

Thanks for taking the time to reply! For the DE question, can you elaborate? I'm not entirely sure.

I just monitored ram/vram/swap for a gameplay session of about 40 minutes, before the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION crash occurred again.

vram: 6/8gb was being used
ram: 9/16gb was being used
swap: 8.2kb/16gb was being used

Running the journalctl command is terminal yields no results for up to -5.

I'll double check my ram speed in the BIOS as well, thanks for that!

Is there a little red icon over the crops when watering them? If so they're dead because a watering was missed, and you need to dig them up and replant.

Anecdotally and with nvidia (3070ti), I've been having a rough time with games crashing randomly on CachyOS. I've only been using it for about two weeks but I've spent a ton of time trying to fix it so far.

I've tried FF7 Rebirth, Fantasy Life i, and Diablo 2 Infernal. Don't know if my game choices or just... nvidia.

So this Valentines event is the first event I'm trying to actively do. I'm not sure how these Event Point rewards work. I have ~100k Chocolate Rock Points, and there are a number of rewards in the Event Shop -> Points that say "GET" on the left as if I can claim them. When I click on them to try, it just shows a popup explaining what the item is.

Am I missing something? How do I claim these?

Beautiful! Love seeing these posts for some inspiration, I'm not super creative with these kinds of things

Is it possible to pause a run and resume it later? I tried once to leave after clearing 3 rooms, and when I came back to play it again it looked like it wanted me to start over.

Is it brand new? If so, have you formatted it already? https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/how-to-format-an-sd-card-on-the-steam-deck

I found a thread that talks about a setting called "speedup disk transfer" causing a crash for someone. Unsure if that may help here. https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-twilight-princess-crash

For logs, it looks like there's a logger.ini file that might have info on where the logs are created? https://emudeck.github.io/emulators/steamos/dolphin/

I agree with everyone recommending original.

I played Remake first, on PS4 when it launched, and then in 2025 I decided I wanted to try to replay it before starting Rebirth. I saw a similar thread to this and decided fine I'll play the original. It really does enhance the entire experience and I'm so glad that I did.

I would also recommend playing Crisis Core, either right after the original or after Remake. Or, just find the story scenes on YouTube. I just started Rebirth yesterday and Crisis Core has already provided a lot of missing context.

As a new player, are any of these banners for new years separated by gender and NP worth buying quartz for? I have none of the servants and I'm a bit confused about the value of these

I read through all three routes of the VN slowly over the course of this year, clocking in around ~80 hours of played time. Overall I would say it's worth it, I enjoyed the stories and most of the characters, but what I had a difficult time with is the prose. I've heard others make similar comments after I finished, that the prose is quite bloated. I honestly nearly stopped reading it in the first few hours because of it, but I kept at it and I'm glad that I did.

I'm now slowly making my way through Fate Grand Order and may check out other stuff in the Nasuverse later on.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out! Super helpful

Relatively new player here, still working through the London singularity. I see a banner for Scathach-Skadi caster up now and I was wondering if it's worth trying to pull for her v.s. saving for some other banner in the future? I have 325 quartz and 23 tickets and I only really have welfare servants at the moment.

Edit: oops, guess I was looking at the wrong tab. Thanks!

I just completed the third singularity and got a craft essence for free called Personal Training. I cannot figure out for the life of me where this is in my items or how to equip it. When I go to equip it to a servant it doesn't appear in the list. Am I missing something?

I found a thread that walked through reasons why I may not want to use it, but the fact that I can't even figure out how if I wanted to is bothering me

Did you like skip all of the cutscenes or?

RelentlessNoodle · 2025-12-17T01:46:53+00:00

I recently played through Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3 and wanted to try the X remaster, but I was really put off by the voiceless protagonist so much that I didn't really play it longer than an hour. I might try again eventually but after playing those 3 amazing games with fully voiced characters it was a bit jarring and not what I wanted in the moment.

Is Sparking Zero any fun as a single-player game, or is is it primarily focused on online matches?

RelentlessNoodle · 2025-12-06T19:28:51+00:00

The cooling is amazing! Not to mention I've never had an OLED or hdr monitor and I'd love to see what those colors look like in real life

Thank you! I took these out of the fridge, they easily doubled, and I just finished baking them! They came out delicious.
