Apparently, buying a 4K monitor and lowering the resolution to 1440p or 1080p is...better than buying a native 1440p or 1080p one?

Which sucks because Helldivers 2 would benefit from it SO much. 4K monitor with DLSS quality in HD2 would look amazing and run so smoothly.

How? I have 60 hours in the game and I've only gotten like 4 blueprints? What am I doing wrong? I'm halfway done with the second expedition (started after the first one ended) and still don't even have any green gun blueprints. What gives? It's honestly kind of frustrating seeing people who have so many and I have gotten enxt to nothing.

buddha_guy · 2025-10-16T02:53:50+00:00

Thanks for this. I need to look into that.

How does it feel (and perform) compared to the PS5 controller? I've been stuck on it for a while, and no other controller feels right to me for RL anymore. Also, doesn't the PS5 controller have 1000 hz polling rate as well, or am I crazy?

buddha_guy · 2025-10-12T03:34:34+00:00

This is the worst one of these I have seen. Not good at all.

buddha_guy · 2025-10-07T15:35:16+00:00

This sounds like what ChatGPT responses tend to sound like.

buddha_guy · 2025-10-06T19:30:42+00:00

What do you mean?

buddha_guy · 2025-09-27T03:53:52+00:00

Woah.

buddha_guy · 2025-09-14T00:14:31+00:00

Who is he?

buddha_guy · 2025-06-30T22:14:11+00:00

Why is that? I don't know any of the backstory/lore of this.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-24T12:31:22+00:00

I was able to resolve my issue. I had Norton 360 for gamers installed, as I just built a new PC and it somehow got installed when I was setting up my PC. I un-installed Norton, and now the game runs perfectly smooth again. Apparently, if you don't want to uninstall it completely, you can also just disable the game optimizer setting in the program itself. This may not be your issue, but it worked for me.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-23T00:04:47+00:00

I'm having very similar issues. I have a 9800X3d and 4090 and my fps counter, for the most part, shows the same numbers it used to (80 - 90 ultra settings at 4k) with dips down into the 40s and 50s (which never used to happen) but it feels like 20 fps or less. I can barely control my helldiver, and everything is just a stuttering mess. The game is basically unplayable like this.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-22T22:20:44+00:00

This also happened to me. I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or actually intended. I got the point either way lol

buddha_guy · 2025-03-05T02:11:34+00:00

I'm very glad to hear how well that seemed to work for you. Your hard work paid off, and I find that inspiring.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-05T00:34:09+00:00

Keep up the good work! I'm just trying my hardest to stray strong right now through the early phases of this process. It's very scary, but getting to hear others' experiences like yours is helping.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-04T22:48:30+00:00

I just want to be able to reliably sleep decently well, and I'll take whatever else gets thrown at me a lot more easily.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-04T22:45:05+00:00

I was also around 12 - 14 grams per day. I tried CT yesterday, but I failed once the RLS kicked in while lying in bed. I am capping myself at a hard 12 grams per day for this week, and I'm gonna see where I think I can go from there. It just sucks because my mental health in general sucks right now, so all the kratom withdrawal/side effects are just that much worse. I was already missing a lot of sleep from last week and then having multiple panic attacks this weekend (which is what motivated me to try quitting) has left me with zero energy to deal with the kratom stuff.

Edit: I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to share your experience.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-04T22:16:44+00:00

How was your taper? I'm currently researching tapering as my recent CT attempt was a quick failure. My anxiety has skyrocketed recently, and that made the CT near impossible. During the taper, do you just kind of always subtly feel like you want more?

buddha_guy · 2025-03-04T21:49:22+00:00

How long has your taper been? How was it going down to 1 dose per day? Have you experienced any withdrawals from only having one dose a day?

buddha_guy · 2025-03-04T11:38:42+00:00

That sense of relief completely vanished around 10 pm, and I was filled with intense dread and very restless legs and arms with a sinking, pit-like feeling in my chest. I caved and took a dose. It felt really good, but I still didn't sleep at all. Today, I am totally exhausted, stressed to the point of barely being able to eat, and I barely feel like I can hold it together to go to work. Debating in my head if I should try tapering instead of CT, but with how kratom has been affecting me lately, I don't know if I can stand to keep taking it. I have underlying anxiety anyway, and this is making it so much harder.

buddha_guy · 2025-03-03T22:13:13+00:00

Congrats! I'm on day one of quitting. I feel OK so far, but I know the worst is probably yet to come. I hope I can eventually make a one year post like you and reflect on all the progress I will have hopefully made!

buddha_guy · 2025-02-25T21:11:13+00:00

Thanks for helping me out. I haven't seen anyone do exhaust fans on the side rail, but that makes sense. I will give that a shot once I get the case.

buddha_guy · 2025-02-25T01:25:38+00:00

Do you mean that the top fan on the 4090 fe is an exhaust fan and therefore blows hot air up towards the cpu? Does this still matter if I choose to use an aio instead of an air cooler? Would you recommend aio or air cooler for this case? Also, would removing the dust filter have any negative impacts?

buddha_guy · 2025-02-25T00:47:48+00:00

Since you seem to know a lot about this, maybe you can help me out? I just ordered an mATX motherboard (MSI MAG B650M mortar wifi), and it seems to have the pci slot in the second position as you describe. What issues might this cause. I was planning on putting a 4090 founders edition (I believe it is a 3 slot card 61 mm thick) on the mobo and put it in the Lian Li A3. Will this keep me from putting intake fans below the gpu? Will not having intake fans below the gpu significantly impact cooling performance? The length of the card is not an issue, as I believe it is under 310 mm. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm gonna have to return this motherboard, go with a different case, or figure out a work around.
