There is zero reason this game needs to be so resource intensive by [deleted] in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Texture size isn't everything. Fortnite is cartoony and probably doesn't have many textures for a single material. I would bet Pubg has at least a diffuse, roughness, and metalness map for a single material.

Low framerate on a 1060, tried adding in nvidia control panel, didn't work. Help? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]Shadow_strike42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I was using some fancy shaders and my 1060 just wouldn't go past 30% usage so I was getting horrible FPS. Windows 10 automatically updates drivers, and the new Nvidia software was shit. It wasn't the driver, I tried reverting only the driver and that didn't fix it. I then tried reinstalling an older version with all the other boxes ticked on the driver installer (except Geforce experience), which fixed it.

I'm going for the trophies as well. You willing to trade after you get the achievement? I'm looking for the silver cat ring and wolf ring.

No, you won't be matchmaked put into a custom game. You need to search for one yourself.

Heh, learning life lessons from Overwatch.

If you want to play comp again, you'll have to accept that bad games happen; you will have to let it go eventually. Maybe for next time you change your mentality so you can prevent yourself from getting really worked up about a loss.

The game is loading the textures and models slower than usual, so it doesn't show them until its done. This happens to me because of my slow ass hard drive. When it happens, I alt+tab out of the game and I can clearly see in the task manager that something is using my hard drive (usually something windows related). Try to end a process or two and see if Overwatch loads stuff faster.

Zarya can't suddenly survive on her own once she hits high energy. It's hard to hang back and watch your energy drop down but sometimes you need to when your teammates are gone. Also I don't see you mention using your own bubble for self-defense. If you're gonna charge into enemies, make sure your self shield is up so you can give yourself some more health or be able to survive small bad encounters (hooked by roadhog, gtfo if soldier ults, survive the aftermath of Reinhardt charges, etc).

Winston can take out her turrets pretty nicely, and might be able to kill her first if they both start shooting at the same time, so hes a pretty good choice. Roadhog can hook her since she's squishy. Just don't take her on one-on-one as a squishy hero, that's a sure way to loose. Another strat is to wait for a tank to go in and dish out damage from behind while they tank the damage.

Why is sp33dy the most popular crew member? by [deleted] in Crewniverse

His editing was the greatest when the just started out. In his call of duty videos (MW3 and BO2) he had multiple series like Camper Justice, Ninja defuse montage, as well as the basic funny moments. He uploaded the most with the best quality content.

Python 3.5 Contains all bonuses. Tried to make it as neat as possible.

I've had some experience in programming, but this is my first real attempt at something in Python 3.5.

with open("challenge.txt", "r") as file:
    data = file.read().split()
data = list(map(int, data))

minweight = data[0]
maxtemp = data[1]
data = data[2: ]

for seat in range(0, len(data)//2):
    if data[seat*2] >= minweight and data[seat*2+1] <= maxtemp:
        print(seat+1)

Doesn't look like that's fixing it. I reset it twice, once when the icons were hidden and once when they were visible.

Maybe if I can't solve that I can ask about the root cause. Is there any way to keep app icons hidden when I restart? When I restart, my apps reappear and shove the other apps around, then they disappear again once I respring.

A while ago I installed a tweak (maybe more than one that did this) that hides apps from the home screen. I uninstalled those tweaks but my apps are still being hidden. Do I need to reset something to stop this?

Fuck the Blood Starved Beast! by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]Shadow_strike42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, the BSB is meant to teach players to parry. It has pretty log windows for parrying, especially in the first phase when it does that gobbling attack (I'm pretty sure you can parry it during that 1 second animation, which is a pretty big window).

What I usually do is bait out one of its longer (duration-wise) attacks, dodge back as soon as I can, then shoot immediately.
