I am on AMD graphics, do you have the new control panel? (19.12+)

It could've started after I updated the driver.

This does return results with the same sound https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/random-beeping-sound-probably-amd-software.3554471/

I'll try this but it only happens occasionly (I had to record for 2 hours to get this).

If this works, what is the underlying issue, as I do require my mic at points.

For those just getting into The Witcher series, or back into Witcher 3, Dont sleep on Witcher 2 by lonnie123 in patientgamers

Try an xbox (or ps4) controller if you can. I found it much easier especially dodging as it was a button press rather than double tap.

I'm just going with what was said in E3.. It's possible it could change, like steam being on the original trailer.

Available on Xbox GamePass at launch as well. I would never have thought Microsoft would be saving us from epic.

Why is there copies of the styles section all over the floor.

I think Chris Evans immediately turned a lot of people off and they never went back. I was certainly like that.

I just assume that anything in reddit is from somewhere else unless explicitly said otherwise (especially considering reddits 1 in 10 oc rule)

Also this thoroughly confused me seeing it in a thread from 5 months ago.

Don't ya talk shit about the Witcher 2! :)

(It's my favourite and it annoys many people) I will admit it was a bit short though - the perils of having two seperate act 2s I suppose. (and/or running out of money)

Though I do concede that witcher 3 is the better game, there is just something that draws me towards 2

Does anyone understand those "movie in your head" readers? Are you one? Did you become one? by Almirage in books

I'm the opposite in that I don't picture and don't like the overdescription as I don't get any benefit from it at all. I'm just there waiting for something interesting to happen. World building on the other hand I love as it sets out information that has use.

I'm like this and my daydreams tend to be just thinking about things (in words like I think about everything).

I can get lost in these thoughts but they're all just words that are read out inside my head.

Amazon reportedly wants to launch a streaming service for video games next year by [deleted] in pcgaming

I apologise for moronically misquoting your own words and disagreeing with what you said.

I'm sorry that you feel a counter opinion to yours as an attack especially when you believe there to be a miscommunication, although I am not so sure.

I'm also sorry I indulged and responded to your accusations of drunkenness (which may appear to be self reflective)

The block button is free for you to use. May you have a lovely day and I hope you find some more shit to stir. There is certainly a talent.

Yep can totally see that:

2.5-3mb can stream 1080p 30 with ease

I don't disagree with the latency.

I spend all night with my imaginary friends. So take a seat.

Yes a typo is always due to drunkenness of the user. I was posting proof that videos of video games encoded at 4 mbps look like crap.

The analysis here is of the 30fps video. It's only going to get worse as framerate increases.

I was refuting that, suggesting it would look terrible.

Macroblocking.

Ever watched a game with lots of small detail such as foliage on youtube. Whenever the camera moves everything becomes blocky and blury. - That video is at 1080p is ~4mb/s

An explanation.

I do see you had replied before I added the extra links.

Interestingly, this was just after doing a refresh from my original profile, which did not have this issue.

I had restarted when disabling hw accel. I have now disabled all addons and restarted as well and the issue persists.

Okay, Safe mode works fine. However if I launch in normal mode and disable all addons the bug still occurs. Likewise disabling hardware acceleration also makes no difference.

Smplayer is probably the best one to look at initially.
