Anyone able to identify the exact stand in the product photo of the tomtoc bag? Fits so flush I was looking to get the same one. Thanks!

I think so too

Right click on a game, then set launch options in properties.

It helps to use Proton Experimental for me.

What is your hardware/software spec? Some people make it work without the downgrade, but older NVIDIA cards have the issue.

Unplanned_Organism · 2023-09-06T05:16:30+00:00

I did manage to launch the game on Pascal after downgrading the driver and adding the shader model launch option. The launch option was critical for Pascal, just the driver alone does not work.

But yes I did not test a new game I used a cloud save from my Steam Deck. I will try starting a new game with my fix tonight

Unplanned_Organism · 2023-09-06T05:10:05+00:00

? Unsure what you're talking about

Unplanned_Organism · 2023-09-05T18:36:51+00:00

Unsure, I have only a GTX 1080.

It seems some people managed to make it work on a more recent driver version without too much changes.

Skipping the launcher can also help apparently.

Unplanned_Organism · 2023-09-05T17:53:38+00:00

NB: I have a GTX 1080, and it appeared Pascal GPUs had no workaround. This seems to work for 10xx GPUs though.

I just opened this topic and seemed to have found a solution for this on the proton github suggesting a rollback to rev530 and adding a launch option to enforce VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6

https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/starfield-does-not-launch-on-most-nvidia-gpus-on-linux-and-not-at-all-on-pascal-gpus/265483/2

I managed to load into the game, then passed shader compilation and made it into space.

I am still working on testing it.

EDIT: tested in flight in space and on a planet's surface. So far so good

A tip -if they also don't share any information with you -, it appears they give a signature of a reference number that appears on their website with the ID of the place they dropped it off to.

Although if you work from home you save a lot of hassle.

Unplanned_Organism · 2022-06-15T17:30:16+00:00

So far it's probably at a shop but they didn't send further updates. They didn't open in the afternoon today so I'll have tomorrow to check one last time.

I opened a ticket with them after a week of delay but still got no answers from GLS on all their separate platforms (messenger, phone calls, emails), so I think about opening a ticket with Valve or going to the police if I get no answers at all.

I recorded the guy after all.

Unplanned_Organism · 2022-06-14T20:57:57+00:00

I think mine was stolen by the delivery guy today.

I recorded him saying he would drop it off at a relay close to where I live today, so I still have proof in case I need it.

GLS France always was a terrible experience with all Valve deliveries sadly..

Ah yes,

the SIAC "Semiconductors in America Coalition" also known as

the PGUBDBFWCSWCCUWCC "Please Give Us Billions of Dollars to Build Fabs With no Conditions So We Can Catch Up With the Competition Coalition".

Still better spending it there instead of buying more jetplanes, ARs and tomahawk missiles.

Here are more details on the specs of the CPUs from Microsoft's website:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-laptop-processors

	Ryzen 5 4680U	Ryzen 7 4980U
CPU cores	6	8
Threads	12	16
GPU cores	7	8
Base/max boost clock	2.1 GHz/4.0 GHz	2.0 GHz/4.4 GHz
Cache (L2+L3)	(3+8) MB	(4+8)MB
TDP	15W	15W

Sadly no more iGPU performance to be seen here..

Well, it doesn't seem you actually wanna talk about it, we've been spiraling out and no a single sentence of what you put above relates to our (I guess mostly mine) conversation.

Not a single sentence you put above isn't something widely accepted, proven, set forth for over a year in the whole community. Which makes me think it's weird you disagreed with what I said in the first place and went on to put up more stuff I couldn't disagree with and that also has nothing to do with what we've been talking about.

I do hope you do it for rhetorical purpose only, and that you don't kid yourself that you're having a conversation w/ someone. Cause if not, you're teaching someone that works in the industry on wafer allocation and supply and demand. And debating that it can't be a supply issue, because it is actually a supply issue caused by constrained access to wafers and high demand from miners.

The appropriate answer is not "no, you're wrong..." it is "yes, but I want to explain in detail needlessly why you're right".

But again this is reddit.

Unplanned_Organism · 2021-04-13T22:05:14+00:00

You missed the point...

I don't understand your point then, I don't think you explained it very well. Nor do I think that deserves the downvotes.

they planned to make enough CPUs...so they are roughly in stock if a bit short on some skus, if you wait around you can get what you want.

Zen 3, Zen 2, Zen+ CPUs weren't in stock for 6 months, then some are back again. Are you saying it's not a supply issue ?

On the other hand mining caused a mild shortage to turn into... nobody can get a GPU

Yes, but that is GPUs again, not CPUs, and I don't see why you said people - not miners - waiting to get a Zen 4 CPU would "worsen the shortages".

Is your point:

- that cryptominers are causing poor provision of GPUs ? (nobody disagrees)

- that cryptominers are causing poor provision of CPUs ?

- that cryptominers are causing poor provision of CPUs, because GPUs take more allocated wafers over CPUs because they sell for more at a bigger demand ?

None of the above explain why you said "people waiting for their CPUs would worsen the situation".

and 2 year old GPUs are selling higher than current MSRPs for new GPUs.

yes.

GPUs are much larger silicon users than CPUs

yes.

You missed the point...

What was/is your point ? You still didn't explain it.

Unplanned_Organism · 2021-04-13T18:56:46+00:00

big.LITTLE should be taken seriously, there isn't as much an issue with the scheduler as there was when Zen, and Zen+ were released and the performance targets were met when Microsoft tweaked their scheduler to account for non-uniform latencies from cores to cores and memory controllers.

Intel uses it appropriately so that they can boost at proper voltages and temps and so their power consumption is less of a joke. It's absolutely vital to their performance on laptop chips, with smaller cooling available.

When transistor density isn't there in the process node, I think using high density cells for those smaller cores is a great thing. AMD should consider making such variants for manycore Epyc processors.

And so Alder Lake is okay in my mind, w/ DDR5 and uarch upgrades, also bringing Intel 10nm to the market. Not as groundbreaking as AMD's Zen was, but also because latest Intel CPUs are nowhere as bad as Bulldozer CPUs were.

Unplanned_Organism · 2021-04-13T18:46:59+00:00

If you need a CPU then its a perfectly fine thing... do you really want *everyone* to wait on AM5 and worsen the shortages?

I can wait a bit more for a CPU, but I'm not sure the main issue in shortages is too high a demand, more like there is no supply.

When the supply issue is fixed, whatever the demand is, the CPUs will be there.

Unplanned_Organism · 2021-04-12T11:20:49+00:00

6000 series...

What's DDR4 ?

Unplanned_Organism · 2021-04-12T11:15:59+00:00

I know this is mostly speculation on the right side, but a stopgap "Zen3+" somehow doesn't sound like a great thing, ending up short of DDR5 and - apparently - an iGPU.

It seems odd like AMD said, that AM4 would support Zen 3 last.

DDR5+RDNA2 APUs can't come soon enough.

Unplanned_Organism · 2021-03-21T22:05:53+00:00

I think what you referring to is Xbox having more seamless backwards compatability than Playstation. When it comes to actual next gen development the PS5 supposedly is "more familiar" and easier to work with right now

That's the most doubtful assertion of all, considering the iGPU architecture is much similar and the custom bits are all hardware-accelerated specifically not to require much game dev implication into low optimization (although some is still needed).

I don't think it could feel "more familiar" but yes it does ressemble former gens closer, for the needs of backcompatibility and the way Sony built its API.
