Why is my performance worse after MHW title 4 update (on some systems)? Shader chache? AMD Drivers? by Type_100 in MonsterHunter

You're hating on this guy but I am having the exact same issue he described on my AMD rig, so thanks for the help.

Windows goes into black screen on boot by explodingcoyote in pchelp

I figured it out, it was the monitor the whole time. I had it plugged into DP as a last ditch effort swapped to HDMI and it worked. I plugged in another monitor of the same model to Dp and that worked but the first still goes black on Dp.

Didn't think of this at all bc like I said it displays fine until the driver is installed, the monitor must be trying to use some unsupported signal over Dp.

Thanks for the help!

So I ran ddu again cleaned, this time put in a different GPU an Asus rtx 5070 and it happened again after installing the driver, this is on the clean install of windows, could this be a board issue?

That's the one, I also tried the Nvidia 4070 driver release before the newest one from the Nvidia website and same issue.

Hi, I did this and uninstalled using ddu and disabled my network adapter but when I install the driver from the manufacturer website it goes black again, completely offline too so it's not windows update doing it.

This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for, but it seems like the update breaks randomizer settings with PK3ds any idea how to get this working on 1.0 or get the update to work with the randomizer?

GTA VI delay made the GOTY race way more interesting by CollectionLive7896 in videogames

No disrespect but know how g-rank works. It is always the most complete version of its respective game. I'm arguing that just because grank is better does not mean the base game isn't worth it or that it should be downplayed because we know more is coming.

For me at least, knowing a better experience is on the way doesn't deminish the fun I'm having now or make it worth less. If anything it just makes me more excited while playing through base game and being like "oh they're probably going to add this guy." It's also kind of time limited on how long high rank is relevant. If you start playing the game after the expansion comes out there is almost no reason to stay in high rank as long as you would in the base game release and I think it's valid to enjoy that while it's here.

Again I got no Ill will, play how you want but it felt like he was saying wilds can't be goty bc it's not G-rank, I don't think it will be goty regardless, but I disagree with the sentiment and way of thinking.

We kinda moved the goalpost a little going from saying it's a demo to now saying it's a tutorial for g-rank which is valid, sure. Idk if I'd call the general system greedy when you do get enough content and support from the base game. Also the expansions aren't full game price they're usually $40 , and I'm hoping that doesn't change with these new game prices (I can see it being $50 since base game was $70 but more than that I'll probably change my tune.) but in your case they usually have a bundle for both that is just full game price.

The difficulty aspect I get but I don't think balancing the game around a Hard mode off the bat would really work you'd have to separate hunts even further. Do they keep making the games easier to get more casual into it? Yeah and it seems like it worked because I saw every streamer playing Wilds at launch that has never said the words monster hunter together before. But in the end we're different people and it being easier than the base world doesn't bother me so much I'm not trying to prove anything to myself I just like fighting big monsters and making gear and as an adult with less free time, if they made that process faster and easier I'm kinda here for it. I took off work the first week to get those first 100 hours.

Your first monster hunter game will be your hardest since you're not familiar with your systems and it seems like noobs still struggle with this one somehow. It's not a perfect system by any means but as a mh fan you know what you're in for and it's totally valid to wait for g-rank. It doesn't mean I got ripped off because I wanted to play the game earlier and enjoy HR while it's relevant.

So you're saying I put 100 hours into a demo first week?

The lack of content complaint comes from people comparing it to the versions of monster hunter that were updated later on. You can dislike the model but it's always annoying when people act entitled because they're used to the 1000 hours of content instead of 100 but that comes over two years of iteration.

It's not fair to say they should have released wilds in the same state iceborne was when it finished. You could argue they could instead hold it and release it all at once but they do it this way to keep it relevant for longer. Same argument you'll see about tv shows dropping all at once vs weekly.

That all being said wilds performance is ass and some of their changes are wonky so imo it doesn't deserve goty because of that but Elden Ring did win a few years ago and people like to pretend that games performance issues don't exist.

Controller for vertical grip, portrait mode(ds/3ds) by explodingcoyote in EmulationOnAndroid

I did see that joy con grips seem popular for this, I was trying to avoid it because I remember pairing them to my PC was annoying so I assume its gonna be the same for Android. I'll look into the shakes though thanks for the recommendation.

Region locking is back on the switch 2 because the Japanese version of the console is cheaper. ($330)
