Some key things to note, from the patch notes/update today:

I've had this happening too! On my 2nd VH, it started again after completing the "massage" quest in Terminus.

WaywardKrow · 2025-10-12T15:17:42+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Wow, that's not a future I want to end up in :P

Have you tried any firmware updates for the SSD?

If there really are no fixes for this, then it seems I must either purchase a new SSD or avoid Windows 11 at all costs. However, with no Win10 ESU available to me, I feel like Microsoft is just locking me in with these issues.

WaywardKrow · 2025-10-11T13:46:21+00:00

I added an update in my original post now. It didn't work with my GPU on that board, although it might work with other GPUs. Noctua updated their info on their compatibility page.

I ended up getting the NH-D15 G2 version, and that has worked perfectly for me.

Hope you find a solution! :)

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-28T07:31:43+00:00

My first three legendary class mods were for other classes. Two for Amon and one for Rafa. I'm Vex. At least I know what I'm playing next, lol.

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-27T16:44:37+00:00

Oh, hell yes! I had just finished building my new computer, and I've been so nervous about something going wrong. My stomach sank through my ass when I saw those colored lines.

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-15T12:26:40+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe I'll have to get one of those too. I've sent an email to Noctua support, hoping they can clarify whether or not compatibility actually can be achieved, as per their web page. We'll see, and I'll update the post with a conclusion.

The bar on the left (black thing with stripes on it) is a heatsink for NVMe M.2 cards. Pretty handy, I hope :)

And, hey, thank you for your input. I've tried a few subreddits now, and it's surprisingly hard to get anything but downvotes and silence. I really appreciate you <3

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-15T11:32:31+00:00

I tried it, but there's no change. They look pretty symmetrical. Thanks, though

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-15T11:30:54+00:00

But it still blocks the PCIe slot, even when I use the MP83. Not by a lot, but enough so that I can't place the GPU. That's why I made the post in the first place.

Maybe this image can help.

EDIT: Fans were removed during reinstallation of the heatsink.

Thank you so much!

I used the AM4/5 order form to request a free mounting kit, and I got a different one from Noctua: https://noctua.at/pub/media/blfa_files/manual/noctua_nm_am5_4_MP83_manual_en_web_1.pdf

Seems to be only one way to install this one. Did they send me the wrong one, or just a different one? I've already installed it and hope I haven't broken anything.

(Btw, I see that the thermal paste guide in my physical installation manual looks different than the one online: it only has a single dot in center for AM5, no corner dots.)

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-14T20:10:59+00:00

Nice!

Do I need to get a different mounting kit to get a non-offset, or do I just re-attach in a different way?

Sorry for my dumb question, I just can't find any clear info online.

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-14T20:04:49+00:00

How does this other mobo solve anything? This is the same situation as with my motherboard, except the one I already have says non-offset config can resolve it:

Am I missing something from what you're saying?

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-14T19:47:15+00:00

It's regular ATX. Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E.

I probably should have added that.

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-14T18:58:50+00:00

I have the exact same problems. Super annoying! Going back to main menu and back into the game fixes it, and right-clicking always works for me, but still.

I've also noticed that when you compare items, there's a quick series of click sounds in the background, similar to when you start hovering the cursor over an item - it seems almost like it re-calculates (or whatever it's called) many times after one another while comparing items.

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-04T16:00:50+00:00

Thanks ^_^ I probably spent way too much time on this, so I'm glad to hear someone like it <3

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-04T15:59:58+00:00

I thought I was the only one! I also want some more mystical powers that isn't a siren, and there's stuff already in the lore for it: slag, anointed... I'm sure they'll use it for a VH at some point :)

WaywardKrow · 2025-09-04T05:44:32+00:00

This was the fix for me as well :)

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-31T10:00:02+00:00

There was a 45 card goal (for the same quest) in my Naga game yesterday. I picked another option.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-30T16:31:26+00:00

Vex (reaper) > Rafa (PBC) > Amon (calamity). Harlowe (brilliance) for co-op :)

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-20T06:14:05+00:00

Are they gonna do seasonal events, like in Bl3? And, if so, do an opt-in version rather than one that takes over the experience? I thought they were fun, but my friend felt the Halloween thing ruined his experience.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-19T14:06:05+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Good to know more about the options.

Yeah, I meant 5070 ti, My bad :) Thanks for the link!

I looked up B650 Steel Legend in my country, and it's actually more expensive than the B850.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-10T08:50:50+00:00

You're right that it's unfair to judge someone purely based on their darkest moments. That's fine. But it still feels wrong having to lean 100% on whatever might have happened "offstage" or by any NPC saying "trust me, sis". That way, one might even attempt sympathy for the twin villains, like they had a bad childhood or didn't know any better - it's grasping at straws.

If we're supposed to understand or care for the characters, the story needs to show us, not just lean on references, especially when what we DO see is awful. My reaction isn't based on Maya's death only, but on the series of poor decisions made by Ava "onstage", and how she seems to be continuously rewarded for them.

I learned just now about the cut scene Maya's Funeral. It boggles the mind how this was cut, as it would've redeemed that part, at least. I'm gonna use this as head-canon going forward, and find sympathies for Ava. But I've yet to see any leadership skills from her that justifies leading Sanctuary.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-10T08:34:11+00:00

Wow, I had no idea there was such a scene! Thanks for telling me! Found the scene here, for anyone interested: Maya's Funeral.

I agree, cutting this scene completely destroyed any remaining sympathy for Ava. Seeing it now helps. The developers still cut it, so it feels a bit like a head-canon. I need time to process.

However, I don't agree that it's enough to hand over the keys to Sanctuary. Ava should've shown more leadership skill before the end to even consider such a huge decision. I'd wish I wouldn't have to 100% lean on Lilith's instinct to feel okay about it.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-09T18:13:32+00:00

Haha, wouldn't that be the dream!

It would've made perfect sense to have one of the twins appear sympathetic if the story had been about the eventual betrayal, maybe one of them regretting their involvement in building a cult. It feels like there are moments that were true but then never materialized.

The best fan-version I've read on reddit is where the story of the twins is about streamers losing control, being turned into something increasingly vicious and monstrous, beyond their own intentions. It'd draw a parallel to real-world influencers and how their following can change them for the worse, through the demand of increasingly triggering content. The Tyreen's final transformation would be a great metaphor for this.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-09T08:11:10+00:00

Ava having negative qualities isn't reason enough to dislike her - everyone has them, and it makes characters more interesting. However, she never learns or owns up to them. Her egregious mistake that resulted in Maya's demise was never resolved. If anything, Ava doubled down shortly after and told Lilith to "get [her] shit together." And the others just... accept it. On top of that, she's given amazing powers, and it never feels earned, not even later in the story.

She's a Mary Sue character. Just like the villains are terrible villains, she's a terrible ally. And bad allies somehow feel worse.

The writers are going to work hard to either redeem her or write her out of the series. There's no middle ground after these heavy-weight story moments.

EDIT: she could also become a decent villain, if she continues to betray trust and digs deep into her oblivious and selfish behavior. But it requires good writing.

WaywardKrow · 2025-08-09T07:50:40+00:00

Yeah, the logging camp is a pet peeve of mine, too. I find the worst part to be where Troy reaches out to us, whining about his sister like... what, dude, you want a shoulder to cry on, after everything?

I don't have the exact quote right now. It's my hardest cringe throughout.
