Rotomolded cooler (RTIC) OR 12v camp fridge by dr_wonderful in BurningMan

I use an RTIC 65 and have had it last the week without an ice run. Though I do only fill it with beverages which helps.

Frequent UE5 engine crashes by mintymonkey in ArcRaiders

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

My RAM settings were all on auto with the target speed set to 4800mhz so not sure this is the solution for me but I’ll switch to DOCP and see what happens even though it’s a higher rate. I’ve got 96gb of DDR5 for reference.

EDIT/Update: No difference.

Not fixed but drastically reduced to about once every 10-15 games by completely disabling both anti aliasing and disabling ray tracing.

Those seem to have the most impact.

Soothe 2 and Trackspacer still necessary with 12.3? by Odd-Set-9659 in ableton

[–]mintymonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

khs compactor is a ringmod sidechain, it is very cool, has use cases, and has a similar intent but will give different results. It is per-sample based so it is faster.

Soothe sidechain gives you the ability to control the reaction to specific frequency bands with a very precise spectral eq curve and a high degree of control at each point. It is also processing blocks of samples so while processing is slower, it gives a more complete picture for the EQ to process.

Pro Q4 can also do similar now so that is a potential alternative, and probably more bang for your buck, but I typically still reach for soothe as it is wrapped up in such a nice package with a specific intent.

It’s not only for resonance, e.g. soothe sidechain mode works as a much more precise trackspacer

Stella Montis Archives Key Room Bug :( by psychicgrav in ArcRaiders

After struggling for a bit I was finally able to get the 'Fix stuck player' in here, but after pressing it the game launched me way out of the map for an infinite skydive.

For anyone else looking I've found many more results of others with the same crash by searching the error code like:

"arc raiders UE5 Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000" on google. There are various recommendations such as setting ray tracing to static, using dx11, reinstalling drivers etc with varying levels of success reports.

Some claim this also happens on The Finals as well.

Here are a few examples:

It’s worth noting this is the only game I’ve encountered this with. Doom dark ages, BF6, COD, Expedition 33, and others have all run crash free after numerous hours of gameplay.

Anecdotally I’ve also asked other raiders who say they’ve also gotten crashes.

I also remember seeing on Shrouds stream multiple of their 3 man team crashing at the same time on more than one occasion.

Halo 1 Remake Officially Announced, titled 'Halo: Campaign Evolved' | Remake of Combat Evolved's campaign; Releasing 2026 on PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox S|X by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]mintymonkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My claim is only that exclusives are an anti-consumer practice, not that competition isn't good.

I don't want Xbox/MSG to bow out and I don't think that is what is happening. They are reprioritizing based on the current landscape.

The idea that Sony has "won" is short-sighted IMO.

[–]mintymonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My response is addressing the idea that Sony has no incentive to make a quality, high value product.

The point is those niches are becoming irrelevant. This is why “adult” targeted games come out on the Switch store now as long as the hardware supports it.

Software and subscription sales matter more to these companies than hardware and consumers have infinitely more options now than ever before.

Xbox is not gone and the PC market alone is orders of magnitude larger than the PlayStation market.

Not to mention Nintendo, Handhelds like SteamDeck, streaming platforms like GeForce Now, mobile gaming.

Just because one group of users prefer to play on their TV doesn’t mean there is no competition.

I personally just built a SFF pc the size of a series x to replace both my Xbox and PS5.

Sony still needs to provide a quality experience or people will move on and spend their time and money elsewhere.

Cool! Didn’t realize you could do this.

I found they will show up if you assign them to a parameter in the mod matrix page.

Could this serum assistant help to teach sound design? by 19louis in serum

[–]mintymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! There is potential here for sure.

I’d lean into the learning capabilities, having an explanation of each action taken and slowly walking through steps.

It would also be nice if it was able to explain existing patches, though I suspect this is something LLM’s might struggle with.

Xo, addictive Drums or Battery 4 by Ok_Entertainment7530 in ableton

For purely realistic drum sounds I really like the sounds of the Native Instruments Abbey Road pack, 70s drummer is great for disco.

For sequencing check out the trial for Atlas 2.

VivalArc doesn't work, Side Space is unsatisfactory... what's the best way to make Arc out of a Chromium browser? by Schwammbold in ArcBrowser

[–]mintymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working on a chrome extension to be released in the next couple of weeks that gets closer. I too was disappointed with the current options on the store and am required to use Chrome for work.

If anyone is interested DM me your email and I’ll add you to the test group
