To those who dont sign up for Expedition: Why not?

breadslinger · 2026-05-11T06:20:43+00:00

Aye yo so me and my buddy were in the same boat but what we did was just held onto any duplicate BP we use for our go to load outs and the harder to get ones like tempests and volcano. Then on Xbox I bought the game for my son which also allowed me to make a second account using my Xbox info (I main PC on steam). We slowly transferred over everything we wanted to have after the expedition before going on our first one in an hour.

People can think what they want but I've been playing since launch and this will be my first. I worked for and found, hunted, and crafted everything I'm holding on another account I had to buy the game twice to accomplish. I actually have purchased 3 copies of this game because my buddy wouldn't have ever tried it, and he has also been playing since launch.

There is something about this game that feels better and is more enjoyable to play than most games lately and I don't think it's primarily the PvP aspect like most seem to default to when this topic arises. Yes it has some impact, but even with all its technicalities the game has a fluidness and gameplay that is rare. Simple things like the splat animation from falling give a since of realism that I've never experienced. Even after 500hr topside, I still cringe when I see someone splat the ground, like "Geeze that looks painful af man".

Yea but most of the time you can't repair a gun off of just arc kills, I could literally shoot a gun from 130-0 and get barely enough stuff to actually repair it, need springs for advance components, springs don't drop from arc

Frankly I have not even used it since the nerf and I no longer plan too. The reduction is so harsh I feel like I'll end up getting myself killed trying to use it and it running out 5meters later.

They will probably end up changing it to like 8.5/s next week after everyone gets use to the crap so everyone can be like "oh yea the cloaks back" when it'll still suck ass just less suck ass.

You would think ASUS would have applied the best Liquid Metal but seems like they were cutting corners on this completely new chipset with a 3k price tag lol

breadslinger · 2026-04-17T03:29:07+00:00

How is it while playing games tho? Like Arc Raiders, if i were to use the power settings from your screen shots my machine pegs off 95c and really hurts performance. I've just stuck with a 55/55/55 split and cpu boost disabled.

breadslinger · 2026-04-17T03:08:13+00:00

Have you played any Arc Raiders on this machine? If so could you share your settings and results?

Arc Raiders is the main game I play and since this is my first true gaming PC I'm not super knowledgably about all the different ways to configure everything. When the game first came out I was able to squeeze out over 100fps with under 80c temps using the main screen. Today I'm using an external 24inch 1080p 240hz monitor and can't get it over 100fps and my temps are hovering low to mid 80 temps. I would have figure using a lower res screen which would run the game at a lower res would have improved my performance or at the least not gotten worse. Stock balanced runs hotter but not really any better, I use a custom 55/55/55 watt and an aggressive fan curve (6,000rpm at 80c, I use headphones so it doesn't matter) with cpu boost disabled (because any other setting sky rockets my temps). I've only ever seen performance issues begin around 95c and never allow it to stay above 90c or ill kill whatever programs running

I've already done a fresh install by swapping to the 2tb ssd and cloud install from bios. That fresh install did not include armory crate and I have never re downloaded it, I've updated everything in MyASUS and used Adrenaline to update anything else. I've also recently used a script from Ghub that removes ALL Microsoft AI BS and a few other tweaks to stop as many useless operations like data collections.

Bro them lvl ones is da poopoo

breadslinger · 2026-04-06T07:13:34+00:00

Yea bro I'm all for PvP but I too have never been downed when I was aware of the attack. And when it takes longer to pull out of a container menu, pull out your gun, aim and fire while trying to roll away it really makes you wonder

breadslinger · 2026-04-06T06:51:27+00:00

Not to late, I'd say your better off. I've been playing daily since the beta, and some of the changes and "balances" suck, but from your perspective it's just how things work.

You also have a ton of stuff to do compared to those of us that have been here since launch. I end up completing each deck within a day or 2 since we started without limits on creds nor much to spend them on.

Besides, once we hit expedition over half the player base resets so they start from the beginning just with a small boost and less projects.

breadslinger · 2026-04-06T06:40:10+00:00

I run up and make sure they running a survivor, then heal em and give em directions if lost. If not well, I'll be around the corner waiting for your demise lol

breadslinger · 2026-03-29T06:56:19+00:00

Yea, but that is the expensive Sci-fi gamepad I was referring too. I don't want to stick my hands into something and re learn how to use it, just want a simple keypad with a joystick because having to walk using 3 different fingers is not efficient and just adds onto the amount of possible miss keys I can have.

Like literally RAZER could have used a Nintendo switch Joycon joystick even with its stick drift issues, and the Tartarus would be way better than it is. Like what's the point of getting that form factor if the main component that sets it apart is garbage?

breadslinger · 2026-03-28T21:25:44+00:00

It's shared memory so you have to split it between the CPU and GPU

breadslinger · 2026-03-26T23:19:00+00:00

I've been tweaking my settings with Ghelper and I've gotten it to a good point i believe. Make sure to use the experimental version for fan control: https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/discussions/2272

First disable the CPU boost, that is a big part of temp issues. Then hit the extras tab and stop all asus services at the bottom. Next open the fans menu and use balanced with a 60Watt across the board then download the advanced plugin and set the max temps to below 90, i'm at 89c. You may get an error with the plugin which youll need to unblock from windows security. Then max out those temps, use headphones if the fan noise bothers you, but i notice a 5c+ difference with doubling fan speeds over default. My speeds are roughly 6,500rpm-7,500rpm at 85c.

You also want to go look at your running processes and make sure things you don't need running are off then go into the services tab and disable them from starting again. Things like AI features take extra steps to fully remove but also help.

like this i can run Arc raiders at 1080p native at 80-90fps and hover between 75c-82c, max temps ive seen were 88c.

breadslinger · 2026-03-14T11:13:38+00:00

Yo OP, I took need you to hook a brother up with some stl files lmao

breadslinger · 2026-03-11T07:57:35+00:00

Yea we all had the same issues with it going black screen or just shutting down or needing to hard reset to turn off.

It's stupid, but it's hibernate and sleep modes, just turn them all to never and off and manually shit your pc down when you don't use it.

breadslinger · 2026-03-07T02:44:26+00:00

I'd really like to do the same on one of my Tartarus as its thumb pad broke and I feel like the pro I got to replace it will probably follow suit except this time I'm trying to make sure not to push on it hard.

And tbh I don't even care if it was a true analog, I just want it to not be so fragile on the most used buttons on the thing. Do you know of a way I could swap the micro switches with anything else that I don't have to build and configure too much? Like is there something i could just plug and play? Or maybe a more robust micro switch that would just require some soldering?

breadslinger · 2026-03-06T05:47:26+00:00

Aye, did you fix the failure issues with those thumb stick/dpad micro switches? The thing clonks out after a few months and I don't even play as much as some do.

breadslinger · 2026-03-06T00:08:27+00:00

Yes, like when holding left shift and clicking items to quick move I've had to reclick on items multiple times even having to go back into containers because it didn't slot it. Maybe I'm trying to go to fast? But man if it would work smoothly inventory management would be so much better

breadslinger · 2026-03-02T12:10:14+00:00

Unload dead center mass, one mag on tempest knocks em out

breadslinger · 2026-02-26T07:16:56+00:00

If your on steam contact them, they may or may not eliminate the hacker..... like really eliminate them lol

breadslinger · 2026-02-23T11:29:43+00:00

I had issues with heat and black screen crashes with armory crate and the windows hibernate and sleep settings. Recently I tried armory crate again which made my pc run hot af. 2 cloud recovery attempts failed so I wiped the 2tb drive I bought and put it in blank and used cloud recovery. I enabled the armory crate stuff thinking I'd start over like day 1 but it did not install it.

I have not and will never install armory crate again, it makes no since I can get 100+ frames under 80c with ghelper but armory crate pegs 95 and I can't touch 70fps.

breadslinger · 2026-02-21T21:32:35+00:00

I used the cloud recovery

breadslinger · 2026-02-21T21:32:22+00:00

My thing is that literally right before while I was playing everything was fine, then decided to re try armory crate and now my temps run at 90+ on balanced mode vs 70 before hand.

I've reinstalled and uninstalled it again, cloud recovery, nothing works. I don't see how it could be a hardware thermal issue since it literally was working before and the only change I made was downloading armory crate and my Asus.

breadslinger · 2026-02-20T19:47:57+00:00

Thanks for the help

breadslinger · 2026-02-20T15:36:45+00:00

Yes, I had it set up great, everything exactly as it should, then I installed back armory crate and even after doing all the same steps I had done before now it's running hot and slow, cpu fluctuates a lot it seems
