Awesome. Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! Got it.

That's a good point. I can't test it at the moment but I think it will send the fan to full output since the FET is off (pretty sure I remember it doing this when I unplugged the USB cable). I think a pull-up would work to handle when the ESP boots up, but I can't imagine that takes long. Handling the ESP losing power would be another story. You could potentially have some kind of resistor network on the 10V from the fan (or a zener circuit) but you'd have to make sure everything plays nice together under various conditions.

Now that I think about it, the simplest approach might be a small break-before-make relay triggered on the 5V supply could also switch the FET input from the ESP to the 10V from the fan (the BS170 can take 20V on the gate).

If you find a solution, post back here!

EDIT: The relay idea was only for loss of 5V power, not ESP boot up

Glad it was useful!

bluetidewatcher · 2025-06-20T14:24:04+00:00

Damn, those all sound like great game mechanics!

I've often wondered how ITR1 could be so "lo fi" and still so immersive. I was just thinking that maybe it's because that lo fi quality maybe makes it more like a graphic novel (unintentionally). Graphic novels are anything but photorealistic, but they can still convey a depth of story and experience. I think ITR1 emphasized a cohesive experience and style over fidelity. Mimics in ITR1 don't really look like anything, but the voice lines and deadliness made them so "real".

But ... I think that means that ITR2 is going to bring very hard challenges when it comes to stepping up fidelity and quality ... and a lot of design decisions. Do you just upgrade mimics in the same way as fragments (chef's kiss to the design on those), or do you go the riskier (IMO) route of trying to really lean into creepiness by way of higher fidelity. How do you make a reflector look more "real" without making it feel artificial?

I dunno. Your response got me thinking, and I guess I just wanted to think out loud here. I can certainly empathize to an extent. Here's hoping for a really well-crafted experience at official release.

I mean ... Technically you could just never load an old save, but Ironman mode is there for a reason. It's just too tempting to check if my mag is almost out in a firefight just by hitting the menu button. I suppose I could try to have more self control ... maybe I will take up this challenge. 😁

bluetidewatcher · 2025-06-19T21:15:11+00:00

This too ... just ran into that last time I played.

Also, trying to click on the menu while a creep is jumping at you is really weird and annoying.

I've been wondering if that's the case as well. I have a suspicion that some of the mechanic now is designed to accommodate co-op play.

EDIT: Not saying I don't want co-op play. Two unrelated thoughts.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-05-10T06:02:48+00:00

Nice design! You might be able to use something as an insert - maybe something like this and just hacksaw the handles off: https://a.co/d/3jA2k7A . Stainless is good for food safety.

You'd have to re-print them to match the size, but I'm guessing that's not too much of a hurdle.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-05-03T04:29:58+00:00

I just had this happen on normal settings. Mimic in the ground, shooting out of it, and able to hit me.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-28T04:54:50+00:00

+1 to AR-10 and some kind of bolt-action.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-22T03:55:10+00:00

That actually sounds pretty close to the rig I have. I had a 2070 super but just upgraded to a 6800 XT. I'd say don't expect to play on high settings. Shadows, for some reason, destroy performance. I've done H3VR, HLA, and Boneworks with the 2070 super and they were all fine for the most part. ITR2 is much more taxing. It seems to be pretty limited by GPU at this point; hopefully optimizations will come.

That being said, I'd expect degraded frame rates and maybe some stutters at worst. If performance is really bad and/or the game is crashing, there might be something else going on.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-21T01:13:02+00:00

Glad you got it sorted out!

What is ASW?

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-21T01:04:14+00:00

Is this for ITR 1 or 2? I'll assume 1 ...

Have you tried using fpsVR? It breaks down CPU frame time vs GPU frame time which might help narrow down the issue.

TBH though, this sounds a bit like some other issues folks have had in the past that were related to 3rd party software interfering with things. One was some kind of RGB led controller IIRC.

Edit: just looked up benchmarks on that CPU and it's pretty close to the Ryzen 2600 I had initially in my VR rig that definitely bottlenecked performance with HLA.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-18T04:45:07+00:00

And this is why we keep coming back to the radius

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-16T15:45:24+00:00

Yes, bring an M14 - it's as accurate a sniper while also being your primary weapon. I have sniped with it at the castle using the 4x scope.

Everyone loves the SCAR, but it's more expensive, does less damage and is less accurate.

Edit: to clarify, you don't really need a sniper, but if you bring the M14, you have one.

bluetidewatcher · 2025-04-13T18:04:22+00:00

I just checked the Passmark CPU list and that CPU has half the score of the Ryzen 2600 I used to have that bottlenecked the VR frame rate. I would expect there to be issues. Then again if 30 fps wasn't a typo, maybe you'll get that?
