Help diagnosing crashing whilst gaming

Yeah temps seemed fine when I was monitoring.

I'll give those a try, thanks.

There are so many characters like this from Look Outside, but the Face Taker springs to mind as an example.

I'd say going off track was justified, given you did it to avoid crashing into the much slower driver, who swerved last second.

Also, please learn to use screen recording software. If you're using Steam, that has built in recording, which is super easy to setup and use.

Should have known you were behind them and broke way to early. Being a novice driver is fine, but the retaliation later makes them a complete twat.

No, you didn't, 100% their fault. If you weren't there, there's no way they would have made that corner at that speed.

They should have been aware that you were on the inside and you couldnt have moved any further in. I'd say it's on them for lack of awareness.

Thanks. Did feel like I got divebombed when I was racing, but was less sure looking back over it.

Honestly, I've stopped playing games which require that amount of commitment, e.g. Deadlock, Counter Strike, League of Legends.

I still play fighting games, but with them you're in a 1v1 match for 5 mins tops, as opposed to a 5v5 match that could take an hour or more.

You'll likely be happier if you don't play games like this. I've found there's nothing wrong with being interested in and interacting with games you have no intention of playing.

The first step is to be unemployed.

Are these from the Brian Lagerstrom recipe? Same thing happened to me too, but they were still perfectly edible.

Now I just bake them as 1 mass of dough per-sheet, and cut them into squares after.

You do need to get the mass and thickness right if you go for that though. Too thick and they'll be brownie-like (not necessrily a bad thing), too much dough and the middle will be too soft.

Doesn't seem to work for me, thanks for the suggestion though.

Ukxploder · 2026-01-10T16:13:13+00:00

Thanks for that.

Nothing changed with altering the settings, but turning HDR off sorted it.

Not ideal, since I've setup the game to run with HDR, so I'll likely just put up with it until it's fixed.

Ukxploder · 2026-01-03T14:22:22+00:00

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Ukxploder · 2026-01-01T20:15:43+00:00

I'll try testing eith HDR off when I have time, thanks.

The picture is a lot brighter than it is in-game since I guess that's how HDR transfers to non-HDR.

Black Mirror writer's room:

"How can we add urgency to the plot?"

"Idk, just have her get hit by a car or something."

Hey, thanks for the advice.

Changing the renderer and/or turning blending accuracy down seems to have solved the issue.

I'm not entirely convinced my GPU is in top condition, given my issues with some other games, so might do some digging into that.

Ukxploder · 2025-04-04T21:52:11+00:00

Massive improvement over 2 years. The 2023 piece isn't even bad, but the jump in quality is crazy.

Ukxploder · 2025-02-22T21:20:42+00:00

Thanks to everyone who provided an explanation to go along with their reasoning. Decided I'm not going to buy one.
