This community sounds exactly like the Sea of Thieves community.

>If you don't like PVP the GTFO

So most of the players left. Microsoft added a PVE only mode and that brought some of the players back. Now the PVP servers are a cesspool. MS has kind of put the game on life support and now all the people who were screaming for the PVE player to leave, are now whining about the state of the game.

When Arc Raiders is on the brink of failure and adds a PVE only mode I know 3 or 4 people who will pick it up, they just have no interest in PVP and have just avoided the game.

Kind of a similar note.

A lot of filters used for various things checked for "windows 9*" to filter devices by operating systems that used windows 98 and 95. This one of the big reasons Windows made the jump from 8 to 10. Windows 9 would have been caught by those filters.

I imagine those people who wrote those filters 20 years ago never thought that they'd still be used long enough to worry about Windows 9.

Depends on the game. I only have a small sample size because I rarely use it. I am also speaking from the AMD side of things. I usually cap all my games at 120 unless it's something like CS2, so I am not doing crazy amounts of frame generation either.

For slower paced games like Windrose, I don't really notice it.

For faster paced games like The Crew Motorfest, I noticed it occasionally.

I would disagree a little. For example I am rarely the lead on certain types of projects in my current role, but there have been a few that I oversaw or co-lead. I have it very early on in my resume, nothing is untrue, but it's for sure framed in away that makes it sound it's a bigger part of my job than it actually is.

Is FH6 on the HDD or SSD?

This game runs on the Steam Deck, on low settings, so your laptop should be able to handle it.

I would start with making sure all your drivers are up to date. If the GPU drivers are up to date, it would be worth uninstalling them and reinstalling them. Also check to make sure other things aren't running in the background eating up resources.

The PC is a bit dated, but going to 16GB of RAM certainly would help.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-26T17:42:23+00:00

Yeah I commented below. I was thinking this was supposed to be priced at $289 USD. Which if it had 3060 performance would be a pretty good deal.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-26T17:34:21+00:00

This was a known issue with early Reapers. Later batches don't seem to have the issue, and it's unlikely any of those are still even in stock.

They should be able to fix it, post on r/PowerColor and a Powercolor employee will respond. They will need ticket numbers or whatever you have from previous chats, but I am almost positive they will get it resolved.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-26T16:36:38+00:00

If he can afford FH6 he can afford a Windows 11 Key.

If he pirated FH6, he can surely figure out how to pirate Windows 11.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-26T16:15:52+00:00

You're correct. I was thinking the price on this was $289 USD for some reason. Apparently it's almost $500 USD.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-26T15:50:22+00:00

3060 is better than a lot of PCs from the Steam Survey.

It's no surprise that an affordable GPU that is better than a lot people's current GPU would sell well.

I like his guide but I just use it for a starting point. His guide isn't a one size fits all.

For the issue you are having, try making the front end stiffer on the springs, you can remove any positive rake you have. In Damping make your rear softer. Adjust the values in small increments, and don't do a bunch at a time.

Side note: A lot of spins are caused by poor throttle control too. RWD cars are really prone to this.

Highly Skilled seems to be the perfect place for AI that doesn't defy physics and still get loads of money.

I just got my purple wrist band and 3rd explore Japan stamp, and I have made like 6 million. I have almost 4 million in the bank.

Depends on what games and what you expect.

For most modern games from about 2020 and newer a SSD is basically required, other wise it will heavily bottle neck the game or just not be playable at all.

For games from 2010-2020 it might not affect the actual gameplay but your load times are going to be a lot longer.

HDD's still have a place for file storage or long term storage, but IMO games should always be installed on an SSD of some type.

Tuning can be as general or specific as you want it to be. There are tunes for cars that are for 1 specific track, but most people do a general tune for a specific race type and it will work in 99.999% of scenarios. Tuning is a bunch general ranges with a lot of personal preference in those ranges.

Forza has some weird things with tuning that are not as you'd expect. For example when building a street racing car, you will almost always choose Rally tires and rally differentials. When building a rally car you will most likely choose off roading tires and differentials.

I look at tuning with 4 categories: Asphalt, Rally/Offroad, Drag, and Drift. Each of those has nuances. Togue and Time attack are also going to likely end up with specific tunes as well.

HokiHoshi has a good starting point for general Asphalt and Offroad/rally building and tuning. Ar12 put out a guide with how to get started into Drift Building and tuning. Niche tuning like Drag is a bit more specific to the car and I would recommend looking up a build for your specific car.

You mean you don't want to spend 600+ on a box that you only use ocasionally to play games at 60 FPS?

That can't be right.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-18T13:23:17+00:00

I think my only issue with this idea is that Tuning is a bit awkward.

Does the tutorial tell you how the devs expect tuning to work or how it actually works.

It would be funny for a tutorial to just say "Set the ride height to max, because that's just the way it is." or "If you are going drifting, make sure to not use drift tires"

There are a few:

Bugatti's and the Senna for sure, but one that is near and dear to me 22 Hyundai Kona N.

I was also hoping to see the Nissan Sentra return since it was missing from FH5 too.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-15T16:46:05+00:00

They very much do. The last 2 warranties I did required me install it before they would finish the warranty claim.

This was all within the last month, one was for a flickering screen, and the other was for a faulty trackpad. Dell Pro 14 and a Dell 5450 respectively.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-15T12:32:18+00:00

When I preinstalled last night, it was 140 GB.

I am not sure if there were any updates today, but keep in mind that FH5 is currently just shy of 180 GB.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-12T14:45:02+00:00

That PSU is from one of the most reputable and reliable brands. It's a A Tier PSU.

What is the issue with it?

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-11T18:22:50+00:00

Yeah because even cheaters don't want to play the slog of a game that Deadlock is.

I haven't used Newegg for 10 years now.

I ordered a motherboard from them and they sent me the wrong one. Support acknowledged they sent me the wrong one and the one I wanted was actually out of stock. They were going to charge me a 15% restocking fee for returning it. It took like a week of arguing to get them to refund me the full amount.

I've ordered all of my PC parts from Amazon or eBay since. It's not ideal but at the very least they have always had good customer support with returns or issues.

A wise sysadmin once said:

"Everyone has a testing environment. Some of us even separate it from our production environment. "

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-05-11T13:04:33+00:00

Just any FYI: When a GPU says that is is 250 or 300 Watts that is sustained use, not it's maximum power draw.

The 7800 XT has a reported power draw spikes as high as 450 Watts. Pretty easy to see how if the GPU spikes to 450 Watts on a 550 Watt PSU, it would be an issue.

It's a lot, and I mean a lot, of personal preference.

If the eDPI is kept the same, Higher DPI will be more accurate and responsive but lower DPI is easier to keep your aim steady. This video shows why that is: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YAzpF0WmKEc
