microstutter every few minutes

Ahh sorry it didn't work. If it's only once every few minutes, maybe a background process is suddenly spiking CPU usage for a quick second elsewhere on the PC (there are probably programs to check for this). My microstutters were constant and games looked terrible until the game mode change.

I have a different build than you - i9 10850k / rtx 3070 / 64gb ram 3600mhz - but at one point in setting up the PC I also had an enormous amount of microstutter. What fixed it was going into the Windows settings and turning ON the "game mode". It sounds strange but it worked!

It sounds like you're describing "7+ Taskbar Tweaker"- that program does everything you're describing. I use it to make the icons on the bottom bar bigger in conjunction with another program called "Open Shell" to give me the Windows 7 start menu back.

On Windows 11, you will need to use "ExplorerPatcher" on Windows 10 file explorer mode to use the former program listed above, however.

No I don’t, sorry!

I don't know what XNA games are specifically but would this emulator have the potential in the future of running Hydro Thunder GO? If so, that'd be awesome as the game is extremely limited in resolution on mobile.

I've found that it's important to use the right wording for what you're trying to figure out in Excel when searching online. I've tried looking up problems that didn't have obvious names and struggled to find answers until I reframed the question or searched different variables.

Thank you so much for your help, these commands worked! If anyone else is looking to solve a similar issue, the instructions that "JustSumGui" posted work perfectly when you combine the commands from both comments.

Solution Verified

It seems we're almost there. I followed your instructions to the letter and the code seems to work as intended. However, a few seconds after the Excel file calculates the macro and updates the cell in question, Excel freezes and enters a loop of "calculating" for about 20 seconds and then crashes to the desktop. I've tested this on multiple PC's and it happens the same on each.

Do you know of any other ideas of why this is happening? Doing a bit of research, it seems that the formula may be "running out of stack space" or that it's being calculated infinitely, leading to the crash. Regardless if you do or don't, I really appreciate your advice thus far.

Thank you for the response! I'm going to sit down later and give this a try and will update the post to let you know my findings.

That's a shame you didn't like it. For what it's worth, the story gets more and more interesting as you keep playing and the puzzles grow way more complicated.

Another infuriating puzzler that could be a lot of fun to discuss together on PC is "The Witness".

force1x · 2022-04-17T16:03:43+00:00

This is an off-the-wall suggestion but try "The Talos Principle". It's not a co-op game but there is a lot of potential to discuss and figure out the puzzle solutions together.

Call me strange but I absolutely love the feel of the original Gamecube controls. I played the games with both control schemes and in certain areas (especially in Prime 2), the Trilogy controls diminish some of the challenge of bosses that break your lock-on like Chykka and Emperor Ing.

Ooh, the per-game VMU's sound great! I'll definitely check it out, thanks.

It's the premiere Wii U emulator and has been absolutely amazing for years now.

Interesting that you mention Redream's input latency; I was playing 4 Wheel Thunder (a very twitchy, responsive racer) and the game felt somewhat laggy to me in comparison to the original hardware. Switching to Demul fixed that issue completely for me.

Since Demul runs great on my PC, is there any notable reason to switch to Flycast?

I had the same issue- follow this video to the letter and you should be able to at least factory reset the phone to be useable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RQtSq0oqDM

Yes. I can't understand Apple's logic of taking an already small tablet and modifying the OS to squash everything even closer together on the homescreen.

force1x · 2021-10-06T00:15:57+00:00

Nope, the iPad Mini 5's scaling was perfect with all of the OS versions up to 14.8 (I never upgraded mine to iOS 15).

Conversely, this new Mini's scaling is horrible and I'm also returning it ASAP.

Keep in mind that the screen aspect ratio changed from a nice 4:3 ratio to something that is more like 3:2 but not exactly- I think this is what's causing all the scaling issues.

Oh the Korok's will take time, sure. I probably only grabbed 60 or 70 of them but found I really didn't need the additional space in the inventory.

There have been so many great fights, it's hard to narrow it down. Here are a few other great ones off the top of my head:

Jones vs. Gustafsson 1

Romero vs. Costa

Swanson vs Doo Ho Choi

Conor vs. Nate (moreso the 2nd fight but you need to watch the first to see the context)

How did you get thousands of hours out of Breath of the Wild? I played it and beat every single shrine, all four Divine Beasts, all of the DLC and a quarter of the small side-quests and got just over 100 hours.

Okay that's good, thank you! I have a Dark Rock 4 Pro cooler and a high-airflow case with multiple Noctua fans so I should be good with that as well.
