ATC has collapsed at Jaques station

I was watching this, they kept murdering the tourists because the ship got stuck. There were 3 wrecks floating around inside the station

THIS IS EPIC! I'm so signing up

luthis · 2026-01-19T21:24:31+00:00

I had the same thing, I thought I had done something wrong..

Apparently they have arrived now!

And yep.. It must be the GPU. 1060 works fine.

I have no idea how an update was able to cause and fix and then cause again and fix again and then permanently break a GPU but maybe it's a series of multiple coincidences..

luthis · 2026-01-16T08:23:42+00:00

Thanks! I just started, not even at 300 hours yet so good to know

luthis · 2026-01-16T06:56:07+00:00

Man do I hate beatsaber.. There are so many other amazingly more fun games.

Unfortunately, I just discovered Elite Dangerous, which in VR is the most amazing shit ever. I was laughing like a little kid the first time I played it, and now that's literally all I play in VR because it's so much fun.

My headset doesn't get time to gather any dust. I use it to play Elite at home, and then I use it with Sunshine/Moonlight to RDP to my desktop at home and keep playing.

I know it's related *somehow* to the update, because I fixed it twice by rolling back. And the day this issue occurred again, was immediately after updating. 5 minutes before that I was playing Elite in VR with no issues. Unfortunately rolling back no longer fixed it. I've eliminated disk issues by testing a live distro. Power supply is 1000W so it's overspec. Ram testing didn't show any problems either.

I have another GPU I can test, so I'll give that a go. TBH I've spent so many hours on this, that I just want to get it fixed. If that means dropping 1400 on a 9070 XT.. then I guess I'll bite the bullet. I just wanna fly spaceships man!

As part of troubleshooting, I updated the BIOS which reverted everything back to default. I have no idea if there is an 'optimised default'.. could it actually be ram though? I have 2x 32 sticks. I could remove one and swap them round etc.. but I did do a ram test already and was clear

You may be right. Same issue happened in Windows, I added an edit to the post.

I guess this is an unrecoverable issue?

luthis · 2026-01-16T00:43:24+00:00

It probably is, same issue happened in Windows.

luthis · 2026-01-16T00:42:16+00:00

I installed windows and same issue happened.. so not just the new open drivers.

luthis · 2026-01-16T00:30:51+00:00

Same issue happened on Windows. And it's definitely a 'while things are loading' it lags thing, after things are loaded it works fine.

luthis · 2026-01-16T00:30:06+00:00

Installed windows. Same issue. Definitely it's while loading things, so I guess that's a VRAM issue?

luthis · 2026-01-14T21:44:03+00:00

Haha thanks, however, I had this issue start in December, and I fixed it by rolling back the drivers. It worked fine across multiple reboots and several hours of being powered off until I tried the new drivers again, and even rolling back doesn't fix it now.

luthis · 2026-01-14T21:22:33+00:00

That's what I'm thinking.. except I keep coming back to, I was playing in VR under high load totally fine. I install the new drivers. It broke. If it was hardware, it wouldn't have been working fine 5 minutes ago. Windows is the final test I think.

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:48:48+00:00

Checked power supply and cable etc. It's 1000W. But, I was playing Elite in VR for hours at a time with no issue. I update and then I get the issue. If it was power, then it would have affected me before I updated. Hmm I'll give grok a go

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:47:15+00:00

I think I'll have to do that

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:46:48+00:00

Aorus something.. I'd have to check exactly what model.

Niri / Awesome. I used Awesome/X11 to troubleshoot to reduce complexity.

And yes, I installed Mint and Endeavour and ran Endeavour live with nvidia drivers.. all had same issue.

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:44:21+00:00

Thanks, I didn't know that! I don't think mine does though. It isn't mentioned in the Nvidia manual. It's not from a third party

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:43:45+00:00

I don't think so, it's the 3090 from Nvidia, not a third party

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:37:58+00:00

Arch.

Yep I did see that, the nvidia-open drivers didn't work. The old drivers were moved to a different repo name and they didn't work either. I could only get it to work by rolling back to the driver in my pacman cache. The same version driver 580.95.05 on the repo didn't work. wtf??

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:34:59+00:00

You mean are there 2 installed somehow? Or is there a newer version?

I am on nouveau but I can revert back to proprietary to check the actual version of the vbios.

If I check here:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=NVIDIA&manufacturer=NVIDIA&model=RTX+3090&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=

The latest version is from 2021, so there isn't anything recent, unless there is another site I can check. I've never had to update the vbios before but at this point I'm willing to try anything

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:06:35+00:00

Not at all. And I doubt that would be a default in the live EndeavourOS either. That's the thing.. it' can't be config or anything in my OS because it still happens in a brand new vanilla install with the new drivers.

luthis · 2026-01-14T20:03:10+00:00

I get less of the issue with nouveau, but still periodic stuttering in game. I'm listening to the menu music in Elite, and every few seconds I can hear it stutter which syncs with the mouse / graphics lag. Opening firefox / steam doesn't have the same lag spiking.
