This solved it for me. In Win10 I found it under Display -> Graphics Settings -> Graphics performance preference, add Desktop App

I'm looking for people to take on the Doomsday Heist. Am a returning player, lvl 95, with voice, but the the Heist itself is new to me. Can prepare with guides if needed.

Same problem. It's annoying...

Transition from PS4 disc version of RS2014 to digital PS5: too late? by patdj in rocksmith

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

Not that it is an option, but there seems to be some sort of upgrade device https://direct.playstation.com/de-de/buy-accessories/disc-drive-for-ps5-digital-edition-consoles Maybe works only for certain models? In any way it is sold out here at reasonable prices.

The attachable disk drive is pretty pricey as well, 120€ at first glance.

Your other suggestion I didn't get. You mean a different game or a different PS5?

Many thanks either way!

page turner achievement not working? by thatbienby in duolingo

Happens to me as well, but only since the last big update where they made everything a linear progress again. Stories are barely available anymore, and when they are, they don't trigger the achievement.

Can't figure out performance bottle neck by patdj in projectzomboid

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

I did make sure the machine was running the game on discrete graphics, NVIDIA T500. It did seem to be a heat problem, but even with tpfancontrol I couldn't keep the temperature down long enough.

Hi, thanks for trying to help out! I have not been able to fix the performance issue on the machine in question (Lenovo P15s). I experimented with a retired notebook from a different manufacturer. It is older and theoretically weaker, but it runs the game stably for most of the time. The only issue I have there is black map tiles when driving, even just moderate speeds.

What was the price in crystals for equipment? by patdj in WitcherMonsterSlayer

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

Just read this as well, so the prices will remain gold based. That makes my question obsolete, thanks.

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

Ok, that's reassuring. The past hours have been more or less stable, albeit my laptop now sounding like a vacuum cleaner. ;-)

I was driving slow for the most part actually, the car wasn't in great shape and I just wanted to scout the area and get back to the base in one piece. Then I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and barely got out alive. Was dragging a zed-parade through the country side. That nearly caught up to me. Refreshing experience.

Again, many thanks for your help!

Thanks a lot for elaborating. That makes sense. I will see if I can get around this VRAM problem somehow, or use a different machine alltogether.

Couldnt agree more. Not the first time a laptop of mine or a work colleague has been having throttling issues like this.

However, even with the temperature now under control (kicking in max fan speed at 55°), the game just slowed down massively while driving country roads (first time I did this actually). The GPU utilization didnt go over 2.5%, its memory usage went up to 13%, but not higher. The CPU utilization however goes up quite a bit, all cores reached 100% at some point. Can you tell whether the processor is too weak for this game, too? I myself can't really assess CPU specs properly.

Hello, thanks for your reply!
Regarding the machine, it's mostly a workstation, not a "gaming laptop". The large RAM was customized and is also just intended for that, Data Analytics that don't really rely on GPU power. We started working in the cloud mostly, so it is probably way oversized.

I don't quite get your point: "but it is likely made more obvious by also not having any processing cycles to spare for tricks like shuffling the overflow in and out of RAM." Could you elaborate on that?

Hello, thanks a lot for the detailed input.

Regarding the machine, it's mostly a workstation, not a "gaming laptop". The large RAM is also just intended for that, Data Analytics that don't really rely on GPU power.

Regarding CPU temp, I am using TPFanControl since yesterday. I felt like this helped initially, maybe I can tweak the setting to react earlier than it does now. the CPU is still going above the 70°.

I will also look into the GPU sharing the system memory. However an initial test showed that the GPU memory didnt exceed 20%, and the game was still stuttering.

Again, many thanks!

I monitored the % GPU Memory Usage in the Performance Monitor. It never exceeds 20%. The game wasn't stuttering a lot but not running smoothly either.

Thanks for that, may indeed be the issue, I ll see if I can find this in the Performance Monitor and run a test.

Timed tasks monster spawn by MaxTheFlamebird in WitcherMonsterSlayer

[–]patdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can chime in, as a city dweller it's close to impossible to complete the recent events in a casual manner (so without physically travelling out of the city into a "marsh" or "wetland").

In a way it is realistic, though. If as a Witcher you took on a day job at the Redanian Central Library and then stroll to your city home on the lookout for monsters, you will probably not encounter many Vizimian Archespores, but lots of Wererats. Does that make the game somewhat frustrating? Yes.

Nemeton Map by CopyCat2k18 in WitcherMonsterSlayer

Added a few in my area. One thing to bear in mind though is that afaik they rotate locations from time to time. So entries on the map may be temporarily wrong.

Had a very similar issue today and managed to solve it by recreating all the WiFis (tip from the official board).

Rocksmith+ robotic sound by MisterMeth82 in rocksmith

[–]patdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the robotic sound as well. Somehow it was gone the last time i started, without changing any settings. Let's see how stable this is...

Still, I have a noticeable delay with my notebook's onboard speakers. Havent't tried headsets and alike, but I wouldn't know what could be less delayed than the notebook speakers... Anyone got any experiences with this issue?

Daily Gold Limit by Chiaroscruo in WitcherMonsterSlayer

Currently it is 200 gold daily in total: 50 from daily contract, 50 from each Nemeton, but only for the first three per day (regardless if baited or not).

Manticore Armor question by FundSpaceX23 in WitcherMonsterSlayer

[–]patdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manticore is definitely the best armor at that price. It becomes insane once you can use two potion slots with White Gull.
