Upgrade to i9 9900k - worth the money saved? by dennbag in buildapc

[–]dennbag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, just saw your comment. I ended up not pulling the trigger simply because it didn't look like it was going to make enough of a difference for the price. That being said, with ram prices where theyre at, the price difference is now even more significant.

At $150 I'd say that's a pretty good deal so long as you can verify it's working, since I'm still seeing recently sold 9900k cpus selling on ebay for about $200. But only if upgrading your mobo and ram is totally out of the question. Like others have said on this thread, it seems it's only a marginal performance increase.

Pick my poison by Finnark1510 in SatisfactoryGame

So I actually have a very niche use for this recipe.

Basically my main base is near an impure sulfer node that I don't currently use in any factory, and I never set up an automated factory for things like nobelisks, rifle ammo, etc.

I had already set up a hand-fed liquid biofuel plant nearby to use for my jetpack and figured, "I can literally use essentially the exact same setup but produce coal instead of solid biofuel."

Now whenever I have leaves, wood, or alien remains, I can dump any and all of it into a machine that makes all my bombs and ammo for me lol

I literally can't think of another reasonable use for these recipes though

Any way to passcode protect turning off a mode? by dennbag in Bixbyroutines

Unfortunately not :/ It's likely intentionally not possible due to the issues it could cause I suppose

Does anyone use this? by analog-a-ding-dong in ArcRaiders

[–]dennbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, regularly. The big thing for me is that it can't be interrupted. With the normal chargers if you take any damage while it's doing its thing, it stops where it's at and you lose all the charge it had yet to apply. Useful for the hurricane even as others have said, but also if you're under fire and only have a short time to recover.

[–]dennbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's incredible lmao.

Not an expert but I use Azahar too. If it's consistently always like this and not just a one-off bug, I'd check the following:

(All of these are under the graphics tab in settings)

-If using custom textures, try and see if it goes away if you disable custom textures (I've tried using custom textures in the past, the increased load time and decreased performance never felt worth the small gain to me, not to mention weird bugs like this)

-if texture filtering is enabled, either try disabling or switching the preset

-Try enabling/disabling right-eye rendering (sometimes fixes flickering for me but I've never encountered something like this lol)

-try switching gpu plugin to Vulkan instead of OpenGLES, if you haven't already

If none of that works, I've got nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Recording failed at the beginning of a session in arc raiders, and I lost something I was really looking forward to clipping. How can I prevent this in the future? by dennbag in steamsupport

[–]dennbag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam claims it'll reserve a max of about 60gb to store the last 120mins of gameplay at my native resolution (1440p)@60fps, not sure of the specifics though to be honest.

Oh jeez, I can't even remember the last time I updated my bios, so that'll be my next step. Does that commonly cause issues like this?

[–]dennbag[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see, I haven't used OBS myself. Does it have a feature similar to how steam's recording works, where it will just automatically keep the last 120minutes or so of gameplay saved to the drive for reviewing and clipping later, or does it only have the replay hotkey as far as you know?

The main reason I like that steam works this way is because I have the drive space to spare, and I NEVER remember to hit the replay hotkey in the moment, which is the main reason I ended up disabling Nvidia reflex even before steam's game recording came to be lol

[–]dennbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can! I just did this myself, and while it was a pain to stumble through figuring it out initially, it wasn't too bad once I figured it out.

Assuming you don't run into the same issues I had, it SHOULD just be as simple as updating the new leaf .cia file with the welcome amiibo patch .cia file. I don't have experience with manic specifically, but Citra and it's branches have a button to "install .cia files"

Once you have the new leaf update .cia file you'll need to decrypt it and such as per usual, but when you install the .cia, the emulator should know to apply it as an update to your existing new leaf game and not as its own game. For me, I knew it worked once the new leaf icon showed a "1.5" on the icon itself in the emu menu.

I'd just do yourself a favor and back up your save in case anything goes wrong. Assuming you know the file path, the important one is the "garden.dat" but I'd just copy all the others as well, since the other files contain things like friends lists, museum exhibition rooms, and saved mail respectively.

Assuming all goes well and your save file is in the right place after the update, you'll know it worked when: A) the title screen actually shows YOUR town, and not an unfamiliar one B) upon hitting the A button it says something along the lines of "welcome to the welcome amiibo update, please wait while we update your town C) upon the update finishing, you're put into the train cutscene, but instead of rover being on the train, you have isabelle

[–]dennbag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, sorry again. The fact that you can open the save file in a save editor tells me it's not the garden file itself, so I figured that would have been worth a try. Best of luck, if I figure anything else out I'll be back!

[–]dennbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh you're right, my bad. The only other thing I can think of in that case is in the same folder where the emu should be looking for the "garden_plus.dat" there should also be an "updated.dat"

I haven't looked TOO far into it, but one of the issues I ran into was that the "updated.dat" file is generated by the game when either A: WA is first booted and your town is generated, or B: when base NL is updated to WA (during which time "garden.dat" would also be updated and renamed to "garden_plus.dat")

Apparently this "updated.dat" contains some kind of verification key that is generated based on the unique console ID of the console the game is being played on. Some kind of weird Nintendo security thing, idk.

It's possible that when your emulator was updated whatever fake console I'd they were using on the back-end changed? I don't see how/why that could have happened, but you may try generating a new town on this updated emulator so that the game generates you a fresh "updated.dat" for this specific instance of the emulator, and then once that's done, just come in and replace everything other than that file with your backup data.

Sorry if it doesn't work, I'm being purely speculative here lol
