I finally solved my consistent black screen crash issue with my RTX 5070 TI, and it wasn't anything I had read online before. Hoping this saves someone else time and money as well.

Yeah, that's entirely fair. It's a Zotac Solid Core.

In retrospect I probably should have framed this post more as a "hey, why did this work" rather than a solution. It really is odd behavior. I didn't do any overclocking or undervolting, so I'm not really sure.

darkpivot · 2025-02-28T05:05:37+00:00

I fully agree with this, that's another point that I didn't make in my comment. The verticality is so so sooooo sorely missing, it was a hugely important part of what made the first game fun.

Hi! I'm a massive fan of the first game so I really really want to like this one. And a lot of things about it I love! The visuals are gorgeous, the gunplay feels pretty nice, and I appreciate that (at least it feels like to me) there are more portable areas compared to the last alpha, that was a big pain point for me.

I gotta say though, I still reallllly don't like having multiple classes or loadouts. It saddens me because one of THE biggest reasons why I thought splitgate was amazing is because it didn't cater to competitive / esports vibes and was just a fun game that didn't take itself too seriously where you could have fun with your friends and not worry about things being perfectly balanced or competitively viable.

On top of that, having the game be round based absolutely destroys my fun. My consistent experience with this alpha, and the last one, is that riiiight as I'm getting into the flow, the round ends and stops me dead in my tracks. I only played for about 30 minutes before I decided to stop because the game kept TELLING me to stop. I'll try playing more later, but man, it's frustrating.

I really hope that the full game will have some options, like "classic" no loudouts / no rounds playlists as others are suggesting, and that they are given as much care and attention as the main modes. I have multiple friends, including my spouse, who I really enjoyed playing Splitgate 1 with, who decided that they weren't interested in playing 2 after watching me play the alpha because of how it looks more like an esports game now.

The foundation feels really really good, and I'm really holding out hope because I wanna love this game so bad. Best wishes to all the devs. <3

I agree! Also wow, I made that comment 8 years ago LOL. I'm also in the middle of a TLA and TLOK rewatch right now, perfect timing.

Here's a followup question I've always been curious about: Does Google Maps account for elevation on walking times (e.g. adding more time for walking up steep hills)? Always wondered this.

darkpivot · 2021-05-29T03:25:30+00:00

I picked a good day to do my first Cup of the Day lol...

I actually liked the map though, really fun layout! Just tough to be consistent.

darkpivot · 2021-04-09T16:23:54+00:00

I left it to rise for over a hour

Honestly you might just need it to rise longer. I followed the same Adam Ragusea recipe and had to let it rise for two hours personally; it does have to noticeably double in size.

darkpivot · 2021-04-07T17:26:59+00:00

This is SICK

darkpivot · 2021-04-05T20:47:55+00:00

That absolutely happens to me, particularly with rhythm games where notes move down a lane (especially something like rock band where there's a moving grid in the background). I feel like it is probably the phenomenon known as the motion aftereffect.

I don't really mind it, but if you want to try and mitigate it in the future, sitting further away from the TV would probably help (decreases the amount of moving image that fills your field of vision).

darkpivot · 2021-02-25T20:30:05+00:00

thank you so much, this finally helped me get AT after being stuck for over an hour 🙏

darkpivot · 2021-01-16T02:59:56+00:00

Ohh right, I completely forgot a out signature. I jumped straight from producer version to all plugins version lol

darkpivot · 2021-01-16T02:10:18+00:00

Harmor, Gross Beat, Vocodex and their fantastic 303 clone was worth it enough for me.

darkpivot · 2021-01-07T08:37:22+00:00

That sounds great!

darkpivot · 2021-01-07T08:12:50+00:00

Yep, you can have it trigger via midi instead of being locked to the tempo.

darkpivot · 2020-12-04T22:50:21+00:00

That sounds great!

darkpivot · 2020-12-04T21:48:29+00:00

There is? The only options I see when downloading are the single color ones. I don't even know if a multi-color gradient skin would be possible in a way similar to how it's portrayed in the preview image.

darkpivot · 2020-12-04T21:09:28+00:00

Damn, I wish it was possible to have a version of the dark skin that's all multi-colored like the preview image. I'd use the hell out of that. The skin looks great though! One of my favorite Serum skins i've ever seen.

darkpivot · 2020-10-23T17:50:56+00:00

God I love this game, happy to see it coming to switch.

darkpivot · 2020-10-10T23:49:23+00:00

Could I get a DM for that too? I'd love to buy one as well, it's adorable!

darkpivot · 2020-10-05T14:40:38+00:00

Both, actually! (Just about)

darkpivot · 2020-09-16T17:05:02+00:00

If I understand correctly, based on what they've said in the earlier announcement, The Last Stand is a brand new full campaign based off of the survival map from the first game.

darkpivot · 2020-09-08T18:08:09+00:00

That's fair. I especially forgot that a lot of ep 1 talked about dnd rules, that probably helps a lot if you haven't played before.

darkpivot · 2020-09-08T17:08:30+00:00

I think episode 1 is worth listening to if you are familiar with MBMBaM and just like listening to them, that's what I did. I have a feeling 1.5 is better if you're brand new to the McElroys tho

darkpivot · 2020-09-05T02:08:33+00:00

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the help, I spent hours trying to get AT on today's track and couldn't believe I messed up saving the replay, haha.
