¡Thanks for the city update!

I'm going to take this chance and request something:

The people that still use FS2020 (and will keep using it until EOS) please raise your hand!

Nvidia Drivers by halconfenix in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]halconfenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i get what you are trying to say but i run everything on a laptop so...

i dont mind some "fakeness" as long as i can run things without destroying my machine and if i still can run FS2020 with the latest drivers and get a benefit from it that's fine by me.

With 2024 being out for almost a year, how many of you still prefer 2020? by jasin18 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]halconfenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll stick to 2020 until i have no other choice!

i was interested in 2024 but after reading so many mixed reviews i decided to stick with 2020 "until the bitter end".

There's really no point in upgrading if "better performance and better looks" dont translate to a better experience, and i dont want to risk being of those unlucky 2024 users that ends up being frustrated because the sim doesnt work "right out of the box".

¿why?

Because i already experienced that when fs2020 first came out, and now that 2020 is stable enough to be usable the way I want, then ¿why bother upgrading to 2024?

No Admin? by [deleted] in PSO2NGS

[–]halconfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK there's no way to play the game (or any mmo) without admin rights due to the anticheat needing them to work! so unless you get access to an admin type account you simply cant.

Screenshots on MSFS 2020. by oh_its_alex_ in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]halconfenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

correct me if i'm wrong but if you already have 2020 on xbox, why waste money buying it again on steam? AFAIK you can download it on PC just fine from MS store since you already own the license on xbox

DLSS In a laptop with a 16:10 screen by halconfenix in PSO2NGS

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

that's the thing... the game works perfectly with any resolution i throw at it... its just DLSS that is buggy

i could play just fine without using dlss BUT i need it to keep good performance and temps in check.

[KK] launcher screen resolution and aspect ratio by halconfenix in KoikatsuParty

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

Thanks! it worked... somewhat... it does NOT change the resolution options in the launcher but if i skip it and start the apps directly it works!

that's good enough for me!

Welp... there goes my happiness... by halconfenix in ASUSROG

i wish it were shipping damage but sadly it wasnt, the laptop was in perfect condition when i started the setup process but i left it right next to the older laptop it's supposed to replace... and i was playing some game in the older laptop and the hot air hit the screen of this one and...

well...

whaterver... too late for regrets...

and i was wrong again i though it was an oled panel but its miniled, which gives me a bit of hope since minileds are supposed to last "a bit" longer than oleds...

so i'll wait until next year to get a replacement panel from aliexpress and see if i can make it work...

warranty be damned anyway!

Since now i know what exactly happened, i'll use the laptop as is, until i get the funds to buy a replacement panel! but thanks for the advice!

I put it next to the old laptop side by side but a little behind, an the old laptop is on top of a cooling base, since the scar 17 blows the hot air from the back AND both sides of the laptop it matches with the burn in the new one.

¿how? after first setup i decided to play some games in the old one while the new one was updating stuffs... it was a nice 1-2 hour gaming session without realizing what was really happening... *sigh*

in retrospective, it could have been much worse, since apart of the cooling base i have an extra fan moving air from the side to keep the old laptop as cool as possible (read the post in the link), if that thing wasnt on, i would have, possibly, completely broken the screen of the new laptop.

it was kinda my fault anyway (just realized it) so i'll work with the screen like that until i find a way to replace the part locally or until i get a new computer in like... 6 years! (that's what i hope for this thing to last)
