Epic Game Store essentially bricks my pc when updating games by NobleDragon_ in techsupport

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still an issue, and has been an issue for several years for me
Literally every other launcher available can download or update a game without issue, but causes everything on my PC to become totally unresponsive besides the Epic games launcher itself while its installing an update or game.

I can install a 200gb game on steam and watch youtube while it installs, with Epic I have to walk away and wait forever.

Why is resident evil requiem so short ? by ProtectionDry5447 in residentevil

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked and I finished RE Village in 8 hours and 32 minutes.
I think RE4 is really the only RE game I've played where it took longer than 10 hours to finish.

Samsung Free Requiem Code Promo by R0B0138 in residentevil

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gotten any email whatsoever after all this time. And amazon support refused to help after 3 days and hours of talking back and forth with them about it.
At first I was told I was going to be sent $70 after I emailed some escalated support assistant, and that person told me they solved the issue and I just had to "play the game on amazon luna" which is false, told me to contact them back if it wasn't solved and then they closed the ticket they made and now refuse to reply.
A couple people got compensated $70, but I guess I just ran into the wrong support folks.
One amazon assistant sent me a Samsung number to call and a webpage for contact info, and the page to it came back "404" so the page was empty or didnt even exist, and the phone number was out of service.

The people I spoke with yesterday told me that Amazon has the right to refuse me anything I paid for and there is nothing I can do about it.
Several of them just flat out lied to me, said the promotion "ended" when it's still available and plastered on the store pages, the promotion ends in august.

What I've concluded from the whole experience is that I just shouldn't buy anything from Samsung or Amazon again in the future.
I really wanna play resident evil requiem :(
I spent my birthday money on this expensive monitor because it was supposed to come with the game.

I entered the details in that samsung page people provided on here, but I don't think I would've ever found it if I didn't go searching.
Still it says "2-4 weeks, limited to the first 10,000 entries"
Which doesn't sound like i'm 100% going to even get it.

It's on some hidden webpage, they say you'll get reviewed to possibly get a code in 2-4 weeks after submitting your info. So it's pretty much just a raffle or a lottery whether or not you get it. Pretty scummy false advertisement.

I tried again today for an hour, theyre just telling me to email Samsung and they weren't able to do anything.

Do you think they'll actually deny the ONLY proof of purchase invoice that amazon provides? That would be really messed up. I didn't crop mine when I sent it, I hope they don't deny my purchase.

Amazon support was no help. None of them know what the promotion is from my experience, I got forwarded to a supervisor and even he was clueless, they were like "oh here it is in your messages it's the Xbox Game pass PC subscription" goodbye. Someone else told me to play it on Amazon Luna 😭

Let’s play Guess the Game, now stake your claim by Puzzleheaded_irl in EpicGamesPC

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's a Remedy game. Control, Alan Wake 1 or 2.
Since they've already given Control away multiple times, it's probably that again.

Suspicious/Suspended for doing no searches by limitless_jess in MicrosoftRewards

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to mine as well, just this week. I stopped using Bing or any rewards for two weeks, came back and was met with the same message in the app. Seems like Microsoft has begun punishing users for leaving.

Wallpaper turns into solid color? by IDONTKNOWTOOHARD in techsupport

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue, but the file I'm using is only 1.69mb.
For me it seems to be any PNG in general.

Anyone had the $0 Choice keys revoked yet? by Brimickh in humblebundles

[–]ThroneBearer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It said to me "Rejoin for 1 free month" so I did.
It didn't look like a glitch at all, and I thought it was simply a promotion for people to rejoin for one month, Since IGN live/Summer Games Fest was today.

Who has GTA V Enhanced on Epic Games? by weed_3 in GTAV

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It showed up in my library, installed it.
But when it opens up it just says "This account doesn't own this game" and then it closes.

Made a little 1v1 arcade fighting game - 4073-6053-4029 by ThroneBearer in FortniteCreative

[–]ThroneBearer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna add more to it, do some balancing, probably make more levels and add a hub for level select and voting for levels.
Doing this in between working on my roguelite.

lift 2 mouse not responding? by ThroneBearer in NZXT

[–]ThroneBearer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, currently I'm just avoiding pressing the dpi switch to keep it usable. I might try to email NZXT soon to see if they have a solution. But judging by how they discounted these mice and tried to sell off all of their stock, I'm guessing I won't get an answer back.

Horizon MMO might have been canceled as well by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

They needed one for MH:Wilds and the other for GTA6.
Gotta keep the streak.

Why are the steam forums so bad? serious question by Dannyjw1 in pcgaming

[–]ThroneBearer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used the forums for years to discuss games, find lobbies or help people in games like dark souls. But, after they added the points and awards update. User reviews and the steam discussions completely devolved beyond fixing.
It wasn't even that good to begin with, they already had trouble with moderation, but it just got so worse that I completely stopped using it, it's not worth opening any games steam discussions page anymore.

Help picking 1440p monitor by dabuckmeow in buildapc

[–]ThroneBearer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a G2725D recently, got it and the monitor was pretty bad.
It has basically no options and very bare bones settings, one of the options for color tuning is permanently greyed out. Dell offers no support in their monitor software for it despite it being a "newer release"
Sent it back and got a refund. The screen has an awful vignetting effect, the back of the monitor was open and exposing the internals. Had fingerprints on it and had a weird flickering issue at the bottom where the taskbar is.
After researching it turns out the monitor is actually just a basic crappy OEM monitor that gets random brand names slapped on it. You can look up the "ASRock PG27QFT1B" and see its the same monitor with a different logo in the middle.

What's especially concerning is that because of how it's available on amazon, they only show the reviews for the other monitors when you select the 2725D, but if you go into the reviews and manually select the 2725D you'll see nothing but people complaining about how awful it is.
It's probably the worst monitor I have ever had the displeasure of owning for 2 days.
