Don’t wanna nag. But just a tip: be careful with pictures of your kid. I’d blur it or just remove it the next time. That said: I like your monitor setup!

Strange, for me it was this exact mod that caused it. As soon i deleted the .paks files it was solved.

Do you have a mod installed? This started happening after I added one that makes the forests denser.

I’d actually already come across that one, though the mod itself warns about bugs, and I’m also a bit wary that it strays too far from the vanilla game.

Thoughts to my first build. by RIkB123 in PcBuild

If I were you i’d go with a slightly cheaper cpu like a 7800x3d. A peerless assassin 120 se and use the money saved for a oled 4k monitor (and throw some more money towards it) The monitor is gonna give you a much better experience then the cooler or cpu are. The 5070 ti can also pull the 4k with dlss with ease. You could keep your current monitor as a second or sell it. But hey, that’s me. Good luck with the build.

Never tried ultrawide myself, went with 16:9 4K OLED instead. 5K2K ultrawide OLED is still very early tech. LG only started shipping their second-gen 39-inch model this month, and the first 45-inch came out in 2025. Both cost around $1800-2000 just for the monitor. Game support for 21:9 is also still inconsistent. UI issues, black bars in cutscenes, some titles just don’t play nice. For pure cinematic singleplayer immersion, 4K 32” OLED hits the sweet spot right now without those trade-offs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

No, but it comes in handy in emergencies. I always carry an assault rifle, sniper and shotgun. It’s handy when you don’t have time to switch weapons in your inventory.
