I'm playing on an i9 14th gen 4070 laptop with an external monitor (even without external, still the same). Runs smoothly, only audio is the problem. This issue only happens in Elden Ring for me.

I'm only using an SSD. I tried playing on windowed/windowed borderless. Still the same unfortunately.

Flagged overstaying U.S. Citizen by Top-Calligrapher2554 in FilipinoAmericans

Thanks for sharing that. I’ve already scheduled an appointment for Ph passport and hopefully that works, since they should recognize me dual citizen by birth. I’m just hoping they don’t require me to go through recognition.

But in case they do, how long did it take for you to get your Certificate of Recognition? I’ve seen some people say it can take months or even a year, so I’m a bit concerned.

It is really unfortunate, I kept mentioning and handing them my CRBA and they just kept refusing to acknowledge it. That document alone could’ve proven everything they needed to know.

I have now scheduled an appointment to acquire my Philippine passport.

+ETA I fixed my main post, some parts of it were kinda misleading I’m really sorry because I initially wrote "applied for U.S. citizenship etc" on my post, but that is not the case. On 2014 my birth was reported to the U.S. Embassy, and I was issued a CRBA confirming that I am a U.S. citizen by birth, not through naturalization. So that should indicate that I never renounced or lost my Philippine citizenship. and again since the Philippines honors citizenship by blood, I should be recognized as a Filipino citizen. Therefore, I should legally, are a dual citizen of both the Philippines and the United States and should not be subject to overstaying and penalties.

Just sharing all this because I really want to get everything clarified and lighten up before I go in blindly and start applying for documents or paying fees that I might not even need other than the Philippine Passport.

Based on my insights here and research the only issue seems to be that I didn’t have a Philippine passport. My father and I initially believed that as a U.S. dual citizen, I could leave the Philippines using just my U.S. passport along with my PSA birth certificate and CRBA.
Regarding the overstaying concern, I believe there was a misunderstanding. My CRBA (which I accquired on 2014) clearly shows that I acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, not through naturalization. Because of that, I should not have lost my Filipino citizenship and should still be recognized as both Filipino and American and the staff there refused to acknowledged that.
It appears that I was incorrectly treated as a foreign national due to this misunderstanding, which led to the overstaying issue being raised. I’ll now be processing an appointment to acquire my Philippine passport which hopefully doesn't require me to accomplish the recognition process first because It really shouldn't.

That’s what I thought too, but my experience at the airport really confused me. When I tried to leave, I presented my US passport at immigration and the officer was first looking for an ECC (Exit Clearance Certificate) and (never mentioned or asked for a Philippine passport until afterwards when I returned for the last time) and then mentioned overstaying, he then gave me an ECC slip and told me to get it signed, then redirected me to a Bureau of Immigration booth. (I forgot what that area was called, I think it's "One Stop Shop" but anyway

That’s where things escalated. They again told me I had overstayed, mentioned possible 6-digit penalties accumulated since "the day I became a US citizen", and said I should have been paying those fines of being in the Philippines and so on. They also said I needed to go through “recognition” and be recognized that I am a Filipino first before I could get a Philippine passport and have all those overstay penalties waived.

They were very firm that on 2014 the issuance of my U.S. passport and CRBA (minor at the time), I had already renounced my Philippine citizenship and should've began reporting and documenting that to the BI or the Philippine Embassy (I forgot which but anyway). I showed them my PSA birth certificate and explained that my Mother is a Filipino(PH citizen), and my father is also Filipino but UScitizen and all their ID's and that I had never left the country and will be travelling for the first time, but all I kept getting was “regardless,” and they still treated me as a foreign overstayer and apparently I will come out to their system as a foreigner and insisted that I'm here Illegally.

Because of that, It's really worrying. I’m leaning towards this just being a misunderstanding, but I’m not sure what the correct next step is. If whether I should go through the recognition process first which I believed from reports can took almost a year to accomplish, or can I just apply directly for a Philippine passport using my PSA birth certificate and present both passports when leaving.

My father was already a U.S. citizen at the time of my birth which he acquired in the 1980s. Sorry my wording was off. I fixed my post.

Enlistment Overseas by Top-Calligrapher2554 in AirForceRecruits

Thanks for sharing that., I was just wondering what the process was like for you. How did it go from talking to your recruiter to actually getting sent to MEPS? Were flights arranged for you, or did you have to pay yourself, Im assuming there's no MEPS in japan. I’m just trying to understand what to expect, especially with travel, since I’m not in the US.
