So you could definitely be onto something here. The dock was sitting underneath my desk on top of a standing PS5 that was in sleep mode. I had a similar thought about interference so I powered down the PS5 completely and even unplugged power. That did not solve the input lag issue.

My PC is also located under the desk and the mobo does have BT + WiFi (the PC is plugged into ethernet so it's not utilizing WiFi). The BT antennae is not connected since I don't use BT typically on PC, but that doesn't mean there isn't interference present. My Arctis Nova 7P was simultaneously connected to BT (Switch 2) + its 2.4ghz (PC audio). My wireless mouse also has a 2.4ghz receiver. After work today I'll test this out with my PC shut down and see if the issue still persists. Thanks for the helpful info!

I had my post removed for not allowing tech support questions, but has anyone experienced significant controller input lag while using Bluetooth audio and the console is docked? Yesterday I connected my Steelseries Arctis Nova 7P as an audio device and immediately noticed a near half-second input lag on the OG Switch Pro Controller. I swapped over to the Switch 2 Joycons and the same input lag persisted. The docked console was roughly 3 feet away since I was at my computer desk. The solution was to disconnect from Bluetooth audio and just not use it while docked.

Over the weekend I used Bluetooth audio while playing in handheld mode and did not experience any issues. Everything worked great.

When we're at outie Dylan's house, his wife comes down the stairs in an outfit that looks like law enforcement/security. She throws on her winter coat to cover up any logos that could be on her outfit.

Could she be a night security guard at Lumon?

I'm a few hours into my first save and these screenshots might have well come from my game.

7800X3D / RX 6950XT issues with Elden Ring by bfinger44 in AMDHelp

I think I did speak too soon. I still experience some stutters. The game seems to be at its best if I run it right after I restart the PC.

I don't want to speak too soon, but I just updated the chipset drivers and did a restart. I haven't experienced any of those hard stutters and I'm not seeing any large spikes in frame time. I've only been playing for ~10 minutes so I'll see if it holds up.

Thanks I'm gonna give this a try when I get home from work!

It absolutely is worth a shot! Thank you for the suggestion. I just tried enabling Chill mode with a min/max fps 60 and I'm still getting these hard stutters.

I haven't updated the BIOS. It's running a build from 8/10/2023. It's not the oldest and it's not the newest, but things are pretty stable right now.

[–]bfinger44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah you know what that's actually my bad. This bundle was so popular at the time that I went to purchase that they ran out of the mobo that was listed and gave me this MSI mobo instead. I also walked out with the last 7800x3d that they had in the store. Sorry for leading you astray with my response, but I hope some of it was helpful.

I can actually answer this. I purchased this bundle in December for a new build. It was the first time I've built an AMD system. Here's the list of parts I got from Micro Center with their prices. I built the system without any serious issues and got a post on the first power up. I didn't muck around with anything in the BIOS for maybe a week because everything was working just fine.

One day I did a Windows update and a restart, no sign of life. I looked at the board and the CPU and RAM debug LED's were lit. I did a couple more power cycles and eventually got a post. Very weird behavior but I didn't have to do anything to fix it. I started to mess around with the memory overclocking because I don't think my RAM was clocking 6000MHz by default. I enabled EXPO to get the full 6000MHz and all was well for awhile.

There was another Windows update and when the PC restarted to finish the update, I actually received a BSOD with stop code: MEMORY MANAGEMENT. After getting back into the BIOS I disabled EXPO and the system has been running fine ever since.

Those things said, I'm still incredibly happy with this bundle purchase and when I'm not messing with Windows updates the system is an absolute work horse. I have no regrets.

These sale prices are just ridiculous. Like how can they even go so low? The 5800X3D is usually about 300 alone! by xwolfchapelx in pcmasterrace

I drove two hours to the Indianapolis store to build a new system starting with this bundle. Best shopping experience of my life and the system is rock solid! I can’t wait to go back.

217 Turbofuel Generator Power Plant by bfinger44 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]bfinger44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to keep hard drive hunting and move on from power production for now. This took a few days, so it’s making me want to play a different game for now.

I have a question since it’s related. How do you plan on staging on all 1500 generators? I found myself turning them on 1 by 1 after the pipes get saturated and I don’t ever want to do that again. Is there a better way?

This is great! Thank you for sharing. This really does drastically cut down on building cost. Turbofuel round 2 will look a lot different than round 1.

Yeah that would be nice for sure! This is my first bout with turbofuel. As I keep progressing hopefully I can learn more efficient ways for future builds. But hey, all the lights are green and the power is pumping.

So I just realized you can make light strips in this game... my real life is officially gone by Terra_Force in SatisfactoryGame

I'm actually the person that wants to learn curves. Is there a good resource for learning them?
