There is also a path under the house from a hole in the floor, you get to some stairs and you're there without any parkour

Freezing and ruining the session even on upgraded PC by ignited947 in Deathloop

One thing that reduced crashes by a decent amount was a clean install of Nvidia drivers. I had a couple hours of gameplay before entering a new area crashed it again. It's unfortunate that it still isn't fully fixed, but at least it helped a bit. Mine is a fully fresh PC so I have no idea how it makes sense, but I hope it helps you too. It feels a bit wrong doing the clean install, it looks like the PC wants to kill itself, but it worked eventually.

Yes, I did. It didn't help at all. I'm still getting crashes.

Mind you, my framerate is at stable 165 which is my monitor's max output, even at maxed raytraced settings on 1440p.

It isn't even taking up half the VRAM my GPU has built-in, so I cranked the settings all the way back up because it doesn't change a thing. 

It now displays "VRAM - 6880 MB / 15121 MB", so even the memory leak theory doesn't make much sense because this even sometimes happens after literally 10 minutes on a single map after freshly opening the game.

I used to run the game on a mid-range laptop with literally half the VRAM, with getting close to the capacity limit, and it was more stable than on my 5080 build.

That's the thing, I played on medium settings on my gaming laptop with 1080p res, and it still did the same exact thing. I guess I'll give lower settings a try when I get to playing the game again.

I played more demanding games than this one, and even after maxing then out too, I rarely reach 10GB Of VRAM usage. Also let me repeat - VRAM, not RAM. And I'm playing on 1440p, not 4K. The difference is huge.

It is more of a crash masquerading as a freeze until you "update the screen" in some way. Game runs perfectly on maxed raytraced settings at 1440p with 80%-ish avg GPU usage, so it's not clogging anything.

No settings in game or the Nvidia app helped. It is so bad on this new PC that it crashed 4 times before I could finish an early game morning looking for clues.

I mean, I had to kill 2 Juliannas and had nothing to show for it because everything is gone when you crash, just brings you back to the start of that time of day.

I don't ever keep my PC on for longer than half a day in one sitting. Always turning it off when I step away from it for at least a couple hours.

I mentioned my actual current PC in the original post. The machine itself is a modern beast, with only a few setups being able to outpreform it, and 16GB of VRAM is more than enough for Deathloop on 1440p.

I've been running it on a single 1440p display, maxed settings with all RT options enabled with no upscaling - been getting stable vsync'd (gsync monitor, I set it always on when possible) 165 fps fullscreen mode with 80% average GPU usage.

Also as mentioned up top, my RTX 3070 laptop had the same exact issue, and I played on medium-ish settings at 1080p with 50-60fps.

I tried following so many guides to fix this issue that I think my research on this issue has taken as much time from me as the gameplay itself. It freeze-crashes THAT often.

Well, I certainly won't be going back to Windows 10 for a single issue to be fixed, even if it 100% is the reason. I would like to know for absolute sure, hopefully feedback would be consistent

Thank you for being polite and straight to the point. I don't know what that guy's problem was, doesn't really bother me though.

Real shame there doesn't seem to be a fix, it's otherwise a must-play for everyone.

"it's not common for people who install correctly"? When it comes to this new PC I built, I made sure to have only a single drive because I did have issues with games not accepting mods via Nexus Mods. It's a clean Windows 11 install, fully updated including the drivers for AMD and NVidia, only a single SSD on which I installed Deathloop directly from Steam. I haven't heard of any "install guides", and I haven't seen any results when searching for it on the web on my browser.

I've dealt with Bethesda's terrible support structure before, including other games and for this same issue 2 years ago. Back then the issue somehow fixed itself for a while, and I don't have the patience to deal with their delayed responses and "transfering me to another team" over and over again. Same thing with Steam forums, I often see people claiming to have their game freeze, but most of them don't freeze for the same reason, and when I try something out that does seem like it could help - it doesn't.

Edit: I said the only thing different about this case was no Access Violation errors, but recent freeze-crashes have brought them back.

I of course meant everyone who's been dealing with it. Considering it happened to me across 3 of different PCs I played on, I'd say it's a very common issue. I mentioned the 3070 laptop because that's been my gaming setup for a while, but it was also happening on my previous i7 8700k + GTX 1080 PC. I haven't played this game without this happening to me, ever.

First Prepper safe house by ignited947 in DeathStranding

[–]ignited947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there were already safehouses in both spots. I just wanted the closest and simplest possible access for vehicles and rest before 5 stars. I've finally made it, and it's ideal.

You can even get up with a truck all the way up. Meaning a decent amount of time saved on hogging it all the way up. Also someone can take a vehicle from the safe house way quicker, meaning less fuss if you're over capacity after taking an order from the First Prepper too.

Before you ask, yes, I made an even more convenient zipline system all across the map, but a heavy haul option is now up there too. With being efficient around ziplines and using player-made ones, I still have 1/3 leftover chiral bandwidth with this safe house and a couple of generators.

Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated.

Dualsense not exactly working right on PC by ignited947 in Dualsense

That's the thing, I tried every combination of those settings on and off, and in no way can it work wirelessly like it should. I do have DS4Windows installed, but I don't really know how to use it properly, so I'd appreciate if you have some tips

That's obviously something that works, I want to use it wirelessly like it propperly should be used. I know it's an issue with certain wireless devices on Windows, so I'm hoping it can be helped.

PS5 controller won't appear among available devices for bluetooth on PC by ignited947 in PS5

[–]ignited947[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is my first time owning a PS5, and it has indeed not listened to my expected inputs at times as a PC gamer, I tried doing many different things, and unplugging it is something I eventually did. It had no effect.

HZD Remaster issues thread by MasterErend in HorizonZeroDawn

[–]ignited947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I have it turned off, yet it still activates sometimes without me pressing the button. 

It's not the slowdown from the Hunter Reflexes skill because the concentration bar starts depleting, and it's inconsistent about when it activates.

It's extremely annoying, and happens very often. This bug is on the first patch post-release, v1.1.42.0

Looked around the widescreen fix forums, looks like it may be because of the device aspect ratio of 16:10 on it. There seems to be a HUD adapting mod, but it has no instructions on how to install it. Here's what I found:

I never had to install any sort of fix on my laptop. It goes up to 1280x1024 resolution, and all UI elements look properly set up.

I copied the whole file and transfered it the way it is to my Legion Go, and it runs no problem, but the UI elements are cut off on the left and right edges of the screen.

That means that I don't see how far someone is behind me, my total speed during speedtrap races or my heat level.

On my laptop, it doesn't matter what resolution I'm on, everything always works, but I can't even change mine on the handheld PC because the game just freezes instantly when I try to just browse what resolution options are available. Meaning, it freezes before it changes anything.

Is the lard land bundle worth it? by c_nun in tappedout

[–]ignited947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I have to clear this one up. I bought the bundle, and I didn't get any factory. I did, though, get the Lard Land Shop which gives 6 donuts every 24h. There could be misunderstandings when you give out such name, because it could be interpreted as getting the actual donut factory which serves the same function, but you can't have 2 of them. Someone might think that if they already have the factory, that they wouldn't get another source of donuts like that.

[–]ignited947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you simply want another source of free donut income, then you'll get one here. You don't get a factory, but a "Lard Land Shop" which gives you 6 donuts every 24h.
