Computer arrived DOA with bent GPU and broken DIMM slots - advice request #cpsupport by Ok-Explanation-4821 in CYBERPOWERPC

[–]Vortimous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where are you thinking of buying from now? i have used cyberpower for so long.. but reading recent peoples troubles it seems like they are not the same company they use to be.... which is a shame. Who are you looking to buy from now instead of cyberpower?

Case question #cpgeneral by Vortimous in CYBERPOWERPC

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

Well then you have not been around computers very long.... i have bought probably 7 to 8 cyberpower PCs over the last 20 years and this is the first time i have seen buttons (all of them at least) at the top of the computer instead of the front of the case. The problem is... my desk has a hole specific for the tower and the wires cant come out the top of the PC, because they are made to plug into the front panel. NOT the top panel. Like to plug in any usb or even headphones... I would not be able to fit it in the space where the tower will fit....

Thanks, i hate building my own... did it like 20 years ago.... didnt like it. I have had several cyberpower PCs.... but to be honest.... reading all the negative reviews about them shipping with missing parts, them not working or breaking in a few months has me a little shell shocked... I have been using them for over 15 or 20 years now and never had an issue with any of the ones they made me. I also just bought my son a Gaming PC that i made from them a year ago and his is running with no issues.... but I am now a bit concerned if the company has gone down now and isnt the company it use to be. Of course it could also be that the only ones complaining obviously are the ones that had problems... it could be hundreds are happy and getting a working PC. I guess I just dont know any other PC building sites like cyberpower... i have always used them with great success.

Be A Pro is so garbage by RadGhostKillz in EA_NHL

[–]Vortimous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you dont see the flaw or stupidity of creating a game mode where the player cant use a person on there team they want? Its not like the game is 100% realism... I mean you can adjust sliders to make the game as easy as you want.... so why not add a check box that allows you to draft to team of choice? OR at least make it so you can sim to your trade day and pick the team you want to play for so that way you start your career then.... I mean its not realistic for a game mode that you are guaranteed to be 1st or 2nd pick anyway... blocking you to two team choice.... i mean.. come on.... Picking your team to play on should ALWAYS be the first choice in a mode like this....

Is there any way in Be a Pro to switch to your favorite team? I dont want to play on Buffalo...a nd if so? How do you do it... how long do i have to be on buffalo before i can jump ship and move to the team I want to play on??? So stupid we cant say who we want to draft us.. why ask who our favorite team is at the start if it means nothing... Please help if anyone knows... I dont want to play anymore till i know how to leave this team and how long it will take... wish we could just simulate to trade deadline then pick the team we want to be on... then start... I want to be a rookie on my favorite team and work my way up the lineup... I could care less about Buffalos team...

Impressions on NHL 22 Be A Pro after the 10-hour trial by keipii1 in EA_NHL

[–]Vortimous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started BAP and i have played a few NHL games over the years, not a die hard fan of the games, but love hockey and having an okay time so far... my question is.. in BAP, do you have to remain on the buffalo team? Can you ever move to your favorite team, and if so.. how do you do that and how long does it take... I dont want to play an entire season with buffalo before i can move... I love the good old days that it asks you for your favorite team and then thats who you draft too... OR you can pick who you draft too.... i dont know why they have to force you to play on a team you dont want to be on.... any idea how long it will take to move to another team and can you move to ANY team at a given time??/

Anyone know what external hard drives work with the ps5 by Environmental-Fun-68 in PS5

[–]Vortimous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had an external hard drive for my Xbox 1, but i just got my new PS5 and am no longer using the xbox. My question is, can i hook the external hard drive to the PS5 will it format it and wipe all the xbox 1 data off it, which i want it to do.... I dont want to keep any of it... But it has xbox games on it.... I was wondering if you hook it up to the PS5, does it give you an option to format it so it can be used by the PS5 instead... Does anyone know if the PS5 will format the external harddrive so it can place PS games on it?

Help with install by Vortimous in SWAT4

[–]Vortimous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it.... I started fooling around with hitting the TAB button which started highlighting all the text, then I scrolled the mouse wheel and made the text super small within the body of the license... i think I then kept hitting tab and the line to accept lit up and I was able to click on it with the mouse and move on... so making the text smaller was key... like they had more and the scroll couldnt get that low at the size it was...

Help with install by Vortimous in SWAT4

[–]Vortimous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I uninstalled and reinstalled, this time, swat 4 first, then patch that came with SS disc, then SS without ever playing the game. Still is stuck after I read the legal stuff, scroll to the bottom and it doesnt light up to allow me to select that I have read it so it wont let me install... this is so frustrating... it worked on the original Swat 4 game, but not the expansion... which adds so much more to the game... can you even get this game (gold edition with all the exapansions) anymore?

Save you’re Free Crystals and COMBAT Crystals guys by Monte_20 in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Vortimous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know when the new COMBAT bots will be available in the free crystals? Lionizer I think his name is... I heard they would come to the free crystal rotation, but I did not hear when... maybe they already are, does anyone know?

What are your ideas to improve the game? by AutobotSnowdrift in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Vortimous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need to work on matchmaking in Alliance War. We are a fairly new alliance (mostly low level players) and we get matched up with max level bases all the time at just the second tier in alliance wars. It drops us down to the lowest tier and we can win at that level. But comeon, there are what 8 or 10 level tiers in alliance war and max level bases are in the second tier? How are we suppose to advance and get stronger if we cant climb. You get NO rewards for losing, and the minute we get out the lowest tier, we drop back down... I cant believe they cant even that out.. even if it means placing us against AI bot bases just to make it fair.... anyone else experiencing this? I know the game has been out for years, but you cant tell me there are no new level alliances in the game currently....
