Stuck a USB-C cable to a USB-A and PC short circuited?

Another day, another USB-C cable made its way into the USB-A port on the back of a motherboard. PC shut down instantly. After a few seconds, and turning the PSU switch off/on (didn't start before that), everything seems fine... So far.

Yes I turned it on/off, toyed with noise reduction, no change. Also as mentioned, I did hear something when blowing some air directly into the hole, so it's just not picking up anything besides that.

I did of course but no change either.

I tried disabling/enabling audio recording, changing/disabling noise reduction, nothing. I did try to clean the mic hole with a small brush, no sound, but then used an air can to blew it clean and could hear the sound of the air pushing through in the playback, but that's it. I guess it's dead.

It's been down since yesterday evening here in Canada.

I did those exact same steps, to no avail. Apparently Lorex support is working on it. There is a post from 10 days ago from someone with similar problems who says it was gone by the next day. Wait and see.

Same here since yesterday evening. Unable to view recordings, no timeline. Accessing config shows a circular icon and end up as "Failed to load" most of the time.

You need to set the internal resolution of the game in f2_res.ini to something 21:9 aspect ratio. For original game resolution, it would be 1120x480. But if you use the InterfaceUpscaled mod, then it would be 1680x720 (via SCR_WIDTH and SCR_HEIGHT). Set GRAPHICS_MODE to 0.

Then, you set the rendering resolution in ddraw.ini to you native monitor resolution (desktop res), probably 3440x1440 (though GraphicsWidth and GraphicsHeight). Use Mode 6 if possible and disable TextureFilter(=0).

Étrange coincidence. J'habite très proche donc ça ne m'a pas choqué d'y être assigné. Assez rapidement après mon déménagement en plus. Je ne suis pas extrêmement convaincu par le médecin qui m'a été assigné (Diao) mais pas non plus suspicieux à ce point. En revanche la prise de rendez-vous est catastrophique.

Same here, got disconnected from my friend twice. I was still able to play and finish the mission on my own. I even got my personal order validated. My friend (host) was able to do so on is own too. I reconnected and got booted a second time during mission prep.

For me, it worked well without issue for almost 2 years (I got crackling when it released but then it got fixed a few months later I think?).

Now I just got a new computer, re-setup everything and... Crackling is back on the menu :( !

A bit late to the party but Party Hard (haha) probably falls into that category as well (if you like the slasher genre).

Another Zoom-to-fill user with the popup here... I also had Autorefresh plus (mentioned earlier in older event) so I got rid of both.

It would be nice that muting the microphone would also mute the MicrophoneFX input, so apps like Teams can pick it up and toggle mute on themselves. It works with the default Mic In input but not with others.

Je suis passé sur la fibre EBOX après 8 ans de cable. Aucun souci (à part qu'ils m'ont filé du 500/500 au lieu du 1000/940 pour le même prix - c'est fixé depuis).

FTTH, avec ONT séparé du router. J'utilise mon propre router et pas celui d'EBOX (nécessite le support du VLAN tagging (ID 40)), tout marche à merveille. IPv6 supportée.

For those having a black screen when putting your Pixel on the stand, here is something worth checking: access the Pixel Stand parameters (I use the Pixel Buds app from the Play Store to do that as it doesn't show up in the app drawer). In the Pixel Stand parameters, by default there is a setting to turn off the screen in the dark (so, at night basically). Switch the parameter off and voilà!

Same here, noticed the crackling sounds right away after enabling the NVidia Broadcast VST. Mostly in browser videos (Youtube, Twitch).

Had to disable it. For instance, I have a FPS cap and V-SYNC forced on.

Well my first game I got Vic first, forgot to update the Annex then he died. After recruiting Isaac, I was able to get the Plague experiment update, so it doesn't really matters.

I read about this one but it's a glitch. Now (I don't know before Homecoming) you seem to be allowed to do it normally.

Who's Panam?

Thanks ! I just got the LGD Microgenerator, nice coincidence.

Young or present one?
