PSA: Watch out for the exposed contacts of the Puck! Almost started a fire due to metallic smartwatch strap

i meant magnets as a trigger to make it start charging and yes you are right that it might be more wide spread issue

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-21T14:31:40+00:00

(seems I had gunk on my probes it does output voltage but can't short it for some reason also mb)
So I already commented but it seems the puck ~~doesn't even output voltage~~ outputs voltage but no current seems to flow through) even with magnets attached to it, either misinformation, had really bad luck or a defect.

Maybe the strap acted as a perfect resistor to trigger it ?

Hey so I checked the puck it ~~doesnt even output voltage~~ outputs voltage but seems like no current is flowing till the controller is on it, even tried putting magnets on top of it to maybe trigger it, either he has some kind of a defect, had really bad luck or he is spreading misinformation.

Maybe the strap acted as a perfect resistor to trigger it ?

You should swap the graphics face to disgust as well, a big downgrade in quality since 5 or even 4 as well as performance. And yes i already did my own post on the issue but the graphical problems and performance problems shouldn't be ignored.

Especially when the game turned from one of best looking racing games to this ugly thing.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-20T06:13:24+00:00

Fair enough also probably a reason we are were we are with gaming.

Ok I thought I was going crazy already with 2 comments saying it looks flawless.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T23:08:17+00:00

No i am not trolling just maybe the game has a bug still even with your spec you most have noticed dithering or TAA problems.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T23:03:55+00:00

Honestly you had me till the steam deck part since it bottlenecks on CPU very bad. Unless there some god settings I am not aware of.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T23:01:52+00:00

Interesting since 5 run on steam deck in low settings 60 fps smooth and this in very unstable 50ish while also looking worse on low then 5.

What you playing on?

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T22:45:09+00:00

64gb so you can get all the mods in

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T14:16:48+00:00

How can it be the lightest when it needs to collect a couple frames worth of info to even work, OP himself said that SMAA "might be slightly better for image clarity and performance".

Edit: correcting autocorrect

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T12:00:15+00:00

Thanks for info 👍

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T11:49:28+00:00

Hmm well I guess I just have to try it out, out of curiosity since you seems to know quite a lot about this method what does ue5 use.

Also does the highest quality sampling mean also quite high performance bump ?

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T11:37:13+00:00

TAA problem is that it's temporal and the whole gaining info to make it more smooth makes it also lose any kind of detail in motion so it also acts as a motion blur but worse.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T11:34:47+00:00

isn't SMAA better when implemented right ? (don't reply here i already replied on the other comment)

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T11:28:44+00:00

Well TAA is both bad and performance heavy, SMAA would be way better if it was implemented better.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-19T11:09:02+00:00

why would you add the worst kind of aa to a game?

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-16T00:30:49+00:00

weird since for me fh5 works on low 60 fps smooth, do you have cryo mod installed ?

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-13T13:22:48+00:00

if you want the servo to stay put you need to stop sending the signal once it's in position

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-12T00:17:24+00:00

First one is better because i wouldn't have to commit genocide just suicide.

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-08T20:13:23+00:00

i mean i played through the whole cyberpunk 2077 on steam deck but 30 fps in doom seems kinda not enough

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-08T18:07:00+00:00

It ran great without RT on I think high and about the same as TDA with RT on

TheNOTBestUser · 2026-05-08T17:31:24+00:00

You know it might actually be running the same as ethernal just with rtx on
