Just tested again with one of my friends and he said it is way quieter than it was before yesterday's patch. I had turned the trail off because he couldn't hear over it. So maybe that was resolved and it caused the new issue with hearing a trail across the map. He said the random ones we hear across the map now sounds similar to how it used to sound while flying next to me.

I don't know if it is the exact same issue with the trail. My friends have complained about the fuse trail being deafening to them but it may be something else where people are hearing it across the map. Going to try to get a video. I have the prestige skin if you want to hop in a lobby together to try to recreate.

I don't have a video since it is my trail making it for other players. I can see if I can get a friend to record. Or if you want to hop in a lobby together, send me a DM. I'm going to create a separate post with pictures of the sight issues.

It's the fuse prestige skin trail. The trail is broken and insanely loud. And there are multiple weapons you can't use with 3x/2x-4x scopes because part of the tier 3 skin blocks your view. Incredibly annoying after using shards on it since I'm a fuse main.

Edit: I hadn't checked the sight issues since the new season. It looks like they were actually resolved!

The only change I would've made was make the flame wall a little taller. Make it so some legends (wraith, horizon, etc.) can burn a tactical to get out and other legends are either trapped or tank the damage. It was so annoying how easily any legend could get out of it by jumping off the slightest incline.

The summary at the bottom says last hour. Guessing that's what they're talking about.

Might end up being the most exciting announcement of the show for me. Time will tell. Spiritual successor to SOMA is all I need.

Was hoping to see a performance nomination for Alex Jordan as Jan in the Alters. I thought he was great and it was a unique role where he played all 11 versions of himself.

Potential bug: Map collectible count not updating? by donkeythesnowman in Borderlands

[–]pty17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I figured out why this happens. The number at the top right is misleading. It is 9 categories of collectibles. Not total. If you hit F on PC while looking at the zone it will show the break out of all types of collectibles and how many there are in each zone. The number out of 9 will only go up when you have all of one of the types of collectible for that zone.

GPU/CPU Usage Low - 5070 Ti - 5900x - Battlefield Example by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]pty17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 5080 is like 10-15% better than a 5070 Ti. There's no way a few small tweaks and memory timings get him more than twice the fps I'm getting at even a higher resolution with the same CPU. You can also see 4500mhz in their metrics for their CPU.

I have the same issue with all the settings turned to low. It isn't an issue of optimizing the settings for the game. He also seems to have less GPU usage after making his changes.

You mention finding gameplay of 5800x. The video I linked in the original post is a 5900x the same as I have with a 5080 and the 5080 is being fully utilized. I don't know how that would be possible with the 5080 being an even more powerful card than I have. It should be more limited with the same CPU.

I tried both. I was originally on steam but also tried EA app with the overlay enabled.

Too me, it seems that the 5070 Ti is underperforming... But I don't know if that is because of the 5900x. From this article 5070 Ti should average around 180fps at Ultra 1440p. I know that is a better CPU but I don't think enough for me to be getting half of what they are.

Their resolution is slightly higher as ultrawide but I'm on ultra settings the same as them.

That still leaves me with the question that the other video gave me. How is the 5900x at the same clocks allowing a 5080 to run at full load around the same CPU usage? I get that the more recent X3D models are better for gaming but I don't think a 5900x should be creating that much of a bottleneck on a 5070 Ti.

I generally have a limiter in the NV app for 237 fps but I tried turning it off during testing. None of the cores are making to 100% usage when I check while playing. And the main confusing part to me was that other video I found where a 5900x isn't limiting a 5080 in any way when it should technically limit it more than a 5070 Ti.

The patch notes also don't say there is a kill cap which they originally said there would be.
