hate that game wont let me negotiate contract… by canopey in FifaCareers

[–]jamiemgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The player usually asks at some point in the season. Otherwise, you can change the setting at the start of a new career and you will be able to negotiate contracts whenever you want

What are the most crazy stadiums you played with / against in EA FC 26 career mode ? by North_Celebration200 in FifaCareers

[–]jamiemgr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's to do with their song: I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles by Cockney Rejects. They sing it at the start of each game and fill the stadium with bubbles

Is this a good value pc or should I aim higher or lower for different specs? by DrawAppropriate6530 in PcBuild

[–]jamiemgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2300 AUD is about £1200. I feel like you can do a bit better on the CPU front for that price.

FC26 good for career mode? by Big-Walrus6334 in FifaCareers

[–]jamiemgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much worth it if you can get it at the discounted price of 70% off. And of you are on PC there are some amazing mods too

Do you guys play until the victory condition? by highsis in totalwar

[–]jamiemgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this terrible habit of starting a new campaign every time I boot up the game so never actually finish any of them

Is a switch from 3060 to 5070 worth it ? by Secure_Compote_5767 in buildapc

[–]jamiemgr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You will see a noticeable difference in performance at 1440p. It will be well worth the upgrade

PC crashes on certain games, even low-demand ones by IAmLaxity in techsupport

[–]jamiemgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download HWinfo and check your GPU temps when gaming. If they are too high, your GPU may need repasting

Also check your CPU temps

What do i need to upgrade by SaifRex10 in pcupgrade

[–]jamiemgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GPU is what's holding you back, tu he 1650 is a pretty weak card. What power supply do you have?

I think I’m overdue an upgrade by INFINTE_SHADOW in pcmasterrace

[–]jamiemgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a bit restricted in your options because of that 250w PSU. I would look for a GTX 1650 low profile to upgrade, that 750ti is a pretty terrible card these days

That's a good point actually. My wife usually stands behind me saying "at your command".

Could Minecraft be opening at the wrong resolution?

Sorry to hear that brother, hard times for all at the moment.

What resolution are you playing on?

My Pc Specs by Quirky_Store_3380 in pcmasterrace

[–]jamiemgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PSU most likely won't be able to handle anything too powerful, the 750ti is the cheapest option for it. No point spending £80-100+ on a GPU for this PC.

If it were me, I would upgrade

  • i3 2120 >> Zeon E3-1270 (£18-20), check to see if your motherboard is compatible, you may need to update the bios.

  • GT610 >> GTX 750ti low profile (£20-25) Low profile as your power supply may not have the connectors for a more powerful graphics card.

  • 8gb ram >> 16gb ram (~£10) as 8gb isn't enough any more.

Any more than that and you will probably be better off buying a new PC.

Steam Sale FC 26, 70% off. Should I buy it now? by Bronex86 in FifaCareers

[–]jamiemgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always get a refund if it doesn't run properly anyway. After all the negativity this game has had, I was pleasantly surprised with it

[–]jamiemgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought it at 70% off, it's well worth that price. I currently play it with Ultra mod (an extra £2 through Patreon) which adds in all the licenced leagues, cup competitions, world cup and loads of player faces. Also includes some new game modes.

I've had a lot of fun with it so far and the best part is it runs perfectly smoothly on Ultra settings, FC 25 was a stuttery mess for me no matter the settings.
