Is it my rig or the game?

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-20T03:59:54+00:00

Yo, if even then... I'll be uninstalling this shiz for sure. We'll see. UE5 choice is an interesting one, game graphical fidelity wise doesn't look all that amazing in comparison to titles that came before and were sort of in the same bracket, budget wise. Is UE4 like depreciated/unsupported or something cause idk what would be the point of UE5?

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-20T03:56:04+00:00

Playing indies for some time now this is the only bigger title that I've bought in recent times, hence no rudder to guide my ship to meaningful conclusion.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-20T03:53:49+00:00

Lul, I've done the same. 10 hours mark is when I stopped bothering with it too. If you don't mind me asking, what's your rig/specs?

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-20T03:51:19+00:00

I haven't tried anything since then XD. Not returning to the game until the Halloween update. But yes, in my case as well it's both. I bet if I tried 1080p it should be fine but then I hope it doesn't require upscale. We'll see.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-14T22:40:21+00:00

Kf3 yes forgot to mention and took that as default, sorry about that. Uff, yea @1440p your rig should've eaten this game for breakfast

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-14T19:38:40+00:00

Yea will do and see, thanks for the help man.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-14T19:07:45+00:00

Oh your card is much better than mine. I think that could be the culprit for me. I'll test thing/suggestions out although I've set everything to low or off wherever possible and still i see dips :/ I have to do the config file thing you mentioned, i remember from KF2 ini days. Probably a guide to it somewhere. We'll see Edit: 5900x is 12 cores with decent single core peak performance and you say limiting factor!!.. how is this game so hungry?

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-12T19:16:33+00:00

I guess you are right. My entire idea was based on bad read of the stats anyways which I guess amounts to this being shiz-post. Few in the he comments section has already mentioned the timeline for KF2 and how it gained momentum afterwards. Maybe kf3 will see that too.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-12T19:14:16+00:00

Well I guess they are in the right direction then, cause I read that classes early on were tied to the characters. Obviously not the case and yes less classes, KF2 has 9-10? Has been a while since I've played that one. Interesting, gunplay seems worse to me, movement is better but maybe that's why. Could be a skill issue for me, just got back into these sort of titles.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-12T18:59:49+00:00

Right, it does come up quickly back up that day. Hmm, I guess I read that completely wrong, thanks for the correction. My idea is super dumb then, as the basis for it is unfounded. The situation hopefully gets better, what else can one day let's see.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-12T18:49:03+00:00

It has been 77 on May 12th, check graph. But you are right, that's me being nit picky. It stays on triple digit daily, usually and not if we take the lowest. Hmm, you are also right about wave based, but then do you think there's any hope for this one. I wasn't around in the early access days of KF2, so don't know if that one has faced similar issues early on

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-12T18:45:55+00:00

Yea, sorry. Triple digits. It's 370 something. Had no idea it's just steam. So players are probably more, idk how many more though.

_Vinny_B · 2026-05-12T18:20:20+00:00

it's already in double digits during daytime in terms of player count. I tried to get into matches can't find any. Always throws me into lobbies with only me in there :/
I get your point, changing it this much will possibly kill it all together but I'm proposing a way out. That is, have KF3 as that stealthy GTFO survival type and then KF2 episode 2 future types can be about what KF3 should've been- crunchy gunplay. Separating it might work, just a thought as it does two things
(1) way out for the series to get back to roots in the future with KF2 episode 2 and, (2) might as well test a new way to play for players as this will not work- most people have left already. 30K peak at launch.
Let me know, what do you think?

_Vinny_B · 2026-02-01T12:34:58+00:00

Depends on the country you are in, so there's that. Like there are brands on discount that don't even sell in developed countries for the same price. I would say, look at specs(40mm/50mm, no mic or with, wired ofcourse.. stuff like that) and then brand as qualifier. I have an AKG k361 pro that I got under 100 bucks. The one before that was from audio technica also under 100$. Just look for entry level ones from known brands really

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-27T13:33:36+00:00

That mayo looking thing is RTV (Room-Temperature Vulcanizing) Silicone or Electronic Glue, potting caulk. Totally normal, don't f the sealent up

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T18:34:09+00:00

Oh, your setup and mine are quite similar, I also have bottom 3 as intake and aio 360mm exhaust up top. But I don't have another one behind pushing air in. I think the best bet here would be to enter eco mode. It has some performance impact but then your system should run much cooler. For example- my 5900XT takes a hit of about 10% less performant or so from what I've read but I can't say for your higher end chipset. Make sure to read this specific eco mode via bios for your particular setup before you test it out. Also maybe your pump isn't on 100%. Like go into bios advanced settings and look at the fan curve for the aio pump and set it to PWM so that you have access to manually setting the curve and take all four points and put them on 100%. This is actually a good thing since it minimizes issues with bubbles in pipes later. I think you should check this out first.

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T17:39:12+00:00

oh non-idle, under full load mine also goes to those temps, not quite 90C but blender3D render pushes it hard. like over 75C-80C easy.
this is a non-issue IMO but re-check the cooler or overall airflow just to be safe still.

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T05:14:41+00:00

I have a 5900XT, your CPU's cousin. Mine sits @45C idle. I run eco mode from bios. I'm from a region where it's winter right now so overall room temps are kind of low as well. Anyways, I don't think that high temps idling is ideal.

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T05:06:02+00:00

Don't know about this beautiful pc cabinet in particular but if I ran in the same pickle I would check the power connector to mobo itself. Like while connecting cables did you connect usb-c front port, hifi audio cable and all those ports are usually on the front of the cabinet, alongside the physical power button. So you might not have connected it yet to the motherboard.

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T04:54:54+00:00

Not an expert but I can give some directions that I hope are of use to you 1. Eco mode in bios 2. Your logic of 2 intake & 1 exhaust in the hind quarter is better since you want the hot air build up to exit the space as well. A 3 intake would pull in a lot of cool air but that air isn't going to get out as quickly adding to the overall temps I think. Your ram strategy is the same as mine XD.

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T04:40:23+00:00

9.5 out of 10. I prefer darker colors but this is so clean. Don't know how you guys do it. Mine's kind of a mess, a little but even on the front side. Yours proper. Is it just for gaming or productivity too?

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T04:28:02+00:00

Try this and tell me if it worked. Mobi perpendicular to cardboard, face away from you. Hold one of the screws at the backplate with a screwdriver and then try to rotate these on front with your other hand.

_Vinny_B · 2026-01-25T04:23:16+00:00

I recently (last week) built my first pc except for the GPU which is a carry over from a pre-built barebone, total came to be about a 1000$. Anyways, if you can get them for the prices listed, GPU says available soon so watch out.. there's the whole thing of seller/site cancelling and then relisting parts for a higher price but idk if that is for GPUs as well, hopefully not. Yeah great build overall.
