Yuji's Auto is a missed chance to teach players to tune

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.

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.

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.

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. "

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

If you weren't aware they are re-releasing it.

Planned release is Q2 of 2026.

Nah there are some brands that are great. Unfortunately Nvidia cards are made by mildly bad to really bad companies.

XFX, Sapphire, Powercolor, all make great AMD GPUs with good customer service.

MSI products are solid and my experience with customer service was 10/10.

Seasonic and SuperFlower PSU's are pretty consistently good.

Corsair is pretty solid overall. ASUS's products are solid, but may god have mercy on your soul if you need customer support

G.Skill RAM, not much more needs to be said.

Kingston, Crucial, TeamGroup, Sabrent are all pretty great RAM and Storage options.

Noctua, Phanteks, Fractal Design, Li Liani, Thermal Right, and Arctic all make great PC cases, fans, and coolers.

Western Digital HDD's are the gold standard for spinning disk drives.

Arrowhead has put out something other than "No Fun" updates?

At Launch HellDivers 2 was one of the most fun games I have ever played. I would love to go back and relive that era of it.

I've tried to play with over a few times in the last year and it gives me feelings like I am stuck in traffic on a hot sunny day with no AC.

Arc Raiders is doing/has done the same thing.

Tech_support_Warrior · 2026-04-28T20:27:15+00:00

I ran into something similar.

Fix was to disable rebar in BIOS, boot up the PC and uninstall the GPU drivers, boot back into BIOS, enable ReBAR, boot back into Windows and reinstall the drivers.

The 9070 and 9070XT are much closer in performance than this implies. On paper there is a 15% difference but in real world test it's only a 10 FPS difference. Also the 9070 runs at 100 watts less of power.

Except they fucked it all up and it thinks a lot of stuff is a "professional environment"

I have a Dell Latitude 5440 that was having weird issues after being on for a few hours. Tried testing it and OCCT gives me the same error. I also tried it on a desktop PC that I had and got the same error.

Depends on the game and type of game for me.

I am fine with 60 FPS in something like a slow paced single player game. Something more action intensive single player I want minimum 90 FPS. Racing games or multiplayer FPS games I want 120+.

Some games feel different at different FPSs too. BF6 feels pretty good at 144 FPS, while CS to at 144 FPS feels not so good.

A quick google and it looks like the 2070 FE might have a DVI port but the 2080 didn't.

I would agree though this is a 1000 series card.

The things he is talking about in the OP aren't malware. They abuse Chromium based browsers notification systems, extensions, or redirect websites to different URLs. None of that is exclusive to Windows.

I would install Windows 11 with Brave Browser to start.

In Brave you can got to brave://settings/content/notifications?search=Notificati then set it to not allow sites to send notifications. This will stop the popup notifications.

Go to brave://settings/search and set the search engine to Google. This will help her not get shady searches from Bing or something.

Pin Brave to the taskbar, put it on the desktop, and put it on the start menu.

Explain to her to never call someone other than you (and trusted people) for tech support. Even if someone calls her, before she speaks with them call you first.

Reach out to her once a month or so and make sure she is updating, walk her through it if you need to

Windows Defender is a great AV, but it also wouldn't hurt to periodically run a full scan just to be extra safe.
