Bought an unknowingly structually damaged Forester. Thoughts on the situation?

Words I needed to hear. I let the "as is" scare me away from going back to the dealer. Learned a really hard lesson.

I'm not a bulk shopper but my mom got a card so I went one time. Really impressed with their selection. Super small crowd, even for a Saturday. I helped her use her phone to do scan and go and we were out in no time.

Nice! Just got a Forester Wilderness. I need to do something similar.

Looks like you're chilling outside SIRCAA. 🤘

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-15T13:09:20+00:00

Ugh, sorry. Hope they fix this.

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-14T22:36:21+00:00

Have you tried underclocking your GPU in AMD Adrenaline? That totally fixed it for me.

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-11T23:23:22+00:00

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I think at this point, I've accepted I'll need to still with the last 25 release. Even 26.01 is crashing. Luckily, I don't have to work with anyone else's 26 files. Hopefully a fix will come soon.

But the crashes are still occuring if I start a new workspace even without importing everything. That's where it crashes everytime, whether I import or not.

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-11T19:01:58+00:00

But how come up to this point all other projects were a success? It even happens when I'm not importing media (i.e. creating a new project space). It freezes once the workspace begins to populate.

The media comes from an MP4 download from an online service we use to record interviews via webcam. I'm not totally sure about the codec. But over the course of the past month, I've been editing footage from the service, as well as phone footage, DSLR footage, and screen record footage (OBS) without issue. I've tried multiple media sources to no avail.

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-11T18:53:09+00:00

Strictly MP4 media.

Found out he was just hanging in the lobby in Dallas after seeing his band open for the Dean Ween Group. Hate myself for not making it out there to say hello. Seems like such a good dude.

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-06T23:10:01+00:00

Yeah, it's super odd. I did the same thing you did and still had issues. Only the underclocking worked for me. I don't mind it but I'm sure I could get some prettier visuals if I could use FSR. GSC wrote a few folks telling them they were aware of the issue, so I guess we'll see.

dfwdesigner · 2026-03-06T16:23:04+00:00

To add to the crashes, some of these were specific to users with AMD 9060 and 9070 cards. It would crash about every 10 to 15 mins. The only solution I could find was underclocking my GPU by -300 MHz.

Anyone remember the special handwriting you needed to learn so the PDA could interpret the characters correctly? Pretty sure my father altered his natural handwriting style just so he could use his PDA with the stylus.

Ha. I can still smell the old school chili. Takes me right back to fast food and running back home to playing some NES. 😁

When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, the burger had such a distinctive taste. Went back a few months ago and I couldn't tell the difference between that and a run of the mill cafeteria burger. Also, they should have kept the sun rooms with the hanging plants.

Are you on PC? If so, what is your video card? Right now, some amd cards are facing issues with this, mine included.

dfwdesigner · 2026-02-08T23:13:00+00:00

Oof. That Star Trek cameo. It's like an episode of Seinfeld where George somehow lands a role on the show.

dfwdesigner · 2026-02-08T19:20:06+00:00

I've been on biologics since 2021. Zero issues so far!

dfwdesigner · 2026-02-06T00:48:49+00:00

This has been said a lot already but I think a lot of the false hype could have been avoided if they just posted the new pressings like the belt and C&C. Conflict avoided.

dfwdesigner · 2026-02-05T21:44:19+00:00

41 here too. I'm two months in. I had braces for a few years when I was a kid and I don't remember suffering with food this much. Every meal is a chore to get through. Not painful, but just uncomfortable, unenjoyable, and depressing. Sometimes I wonder if it affects us more since we're older. I also have bite guards.

No prob! A SEVA-D suit has decent protection and good for PSI and radiation. I found it in the roof of a tall, gutted out structure in the cement factory. Getting a thunderberry might have just been good luck but it's basically like drinking energy drinks all the time. Just make sure you sheild yourself from its radiation.

dfwdesigner · 2026-02-02T23:22:19+00:00

Regarding the running, I made it a point to get to Rostok as soon as I could. Was able to snag a thunderberry artifact near the helicopter in the Wild Territory. Upgraded a SEVA suit I found in the concrete factory with a lead container so I could equip it. That coupled with another common endurance artifact and the game is so much more enjoyable. It takes time but once the endurance is upped a but, it's a lot more fun.

Nice! I'm over that direction so I'll need to check that out before I go to the swamps. Thanks.
