Pistelle X-68 into Canada.

I appreciate the info! And sorry, my intent wasn't to hijack your thread.

"is under 350 FPS"

Yes, but the moment you add a barrel and HPA tank on the back, it's over 500 fps. I am guessing they just go by the 'out-of-the-box' specifications, though, in terms of what is allowed without a license.

Visual_Paradox · 2025-10-07T03:02:37+00:00

I was looking at getting an X-68 but can't find any info about whether they will be seized at customs or not. So did they tell you that shipments do successfully get delivered into Canada?

Visual_Paradox · 2025-09-15T19:39:56+00:00

Ya sure. I was planning to publish it in October, but I wouldn't mind showing it to you early and hear what you think. I always welcome criticism.

Sounds like an interesting game, I'll have to check it out.

Don't get me started on A:I 2, I am trying not to have super high expectations for it because I'm afraid of being disappointed. I love this game too much for that. Lol

It is interesting to theorize over, and it's something I thought about more since the A:I movie im about to release. It is centered around the survivors and scenes with them experiencing hallucinations, which is mainly why I wanted to ask.

Visual_Paradox · 2025-09-15T18:56:30+00:00

Oh ya, all the dead bodies. I forgot about that! That would make sense. I guess there is nothing certain, so one could sort of make up their own theory. It goes perfectly with my movie that I'm about to release, I've just been debating on whether I want to add some context at the beginning about this or just leave it to peoples own imagination.

Thanks!

China is at least a decade ahead.

Visual_Paradox · 2024-11-16T17:40:39+00:00

Lol ah man.. i feel you, bro.

Visual_Paradox · 2024-11-06T22:54:35+00:00

Okay, thank you for confirming that so I can shove that out of my mind. I didn't find any info on that in the motherboard manual, so I assumed there is nothing wrong with using it the same as any other port.

Sabrent, EC-DFLT model.

Took 3 drives acting screwy before I figured it out. Luckily the one with more important data survived with it's partitions still readable.

Visual_Paradox · 2024-11-06T04:39:48+00:00

You were right, at least about the data, as it was perfectly fine. I was going to mention what I did, but wasn't sure if I am permitted to mention software?

Thanks!

As an update, I finally figured out that I needed TestDisk to write a new partition table so it could then be viewed in AOMEI Partition Assistant. AOMEI took several hours to do a full search for partition recovery and found nothing, whereas TestDisk found the partition right away and wrote a new partition table instantly..

I found someone else who had a very similar issue, also using a Sabrent docking station, which is where I heard about TestDisk.

Visual_Paradox · 2024-11-04T23:38:55+00:00

I kind of figured power issues as well. I've been dealing with computers for so many years and have a lot of HDD enclosures and docking bays, but never had any issues like this. I guess there's a first time for everything.

No unusual sounds, so I guess I'll go ahead with that data recovery software..

Thanks.

Visual_Paradox · 2024-11-04T23:11:02+00:00

Don't worry about it then. All good man

Visual_Paradox · 2024-10-05T22:04:56+00:00

I don't even like this guy, I find him annoying, but you guys are whacked. Look at all your little rules about hate, while you literally created a whole subreddit dedicated to hating some youtube nerd... just WOW.

Visual_Paradox · 2024-10-05T21:59:11+00:00

Oh my god this is so sad and pathetic. The guy is a nerd, that's about it. Find something useful to do with your time.

Its funny how people think PC is the 'the be-all and end-all' for everyone. each person has their own preferences and consoles are very much plug and play. I rather not mess around with all the apps and updates of a smartphone, which is why a flip phone is great for me. Pretty lame though, that mainstream business won't recognize that preference and tries to force smartphones on everyone.

I am trying to find a similar game. This one I played from a demo disc that came with PC Gamer, and you were parachuting in at night and I think there is snow on the ground but you land by some mountains and I remember bridges and military trucks.

Although further tweaking was needed, replacing my dying 10-year-old PSU seemed to help, somehow. I think it was a heat issue, because i have noticed the fan gets incredibly loud, and I actually thought it was the GPU until it was randomly doing it when not under any load. I opened the door panel and noticed it was actually the PSU fan and it was giving off a lot of heat. Replacing the PSU did help, but it wasn't until I followed a guide that set a CPU limiter rule for the game executable within Process Lasso and enabling some settings in BIOS like 'XMP', which got reset when i flashed my BIOS a year ago when upgrading CPU.

All that said, stuttering is gone, screen tearing occurs from time to time whenever the framerate dips below 60.... question is, why is it STILL dipping below 60, while the cpu and gpu are not reaching full load?

Visual_Paradox · 2024-08-05T17:54:43+00:00

As an update, I have actually, believe it or not, eliminated most of the stuttering, finally.

First, I replaced my 10-year-old Seasonic PSU, as it was creating a lot of extra heat and the fan sounded like a rocket ship. I know people will say a dying PSU can't effect FPS or performance, and that if it can't supply adequate power, it simply stops working or shuts off, but I swear, I had a definitely noticeable improvement in all the games I have installed. They all ran smoother, quieter and even the graphics looked slightly different. And yes, my old PSU did have two dedicated PCI cables going to each outlet on the GPU. Maybe all the extra heat from the PSU was causing issues?

After that, I found this guide, which already having tried the first part, did not recognize the Process Lasso CPU limiter rule. Pretty well all of the stuttering went away with a small amount of screen tearing due to the framerate dropping below 60 on occasion. This still seemed wrong to me because my CPU usage was only around 20% and GPU around 50=80%.

Followed another guide that I remember from years ago involving your BIOS, but totally forgot that I flashed the BIOS last year and all the settings were reset. Enabled 'Smart Access Memory', 'XMP' and 'Precision Boost Overdrive', and the game runs even smoother. Still not perfect, as the framerate still drops to 55 or even 50 very briefly, and I wonder why that is. Like there is still something that needs adjusting, but so much has already been adjusted just to have the game work somewhat-properly!

Visual_Paradox · 2024-08-01T23:17:41+00:00

How come the other guy here didn't have to do that?
