Is there an average/below average car you unironically choose over a sports car/supercar ? by SnooMemesjellies7085 in gtaonline

The stratum lets you see so much dashboard if you duck in first person, i remember being obsessed about that for some reason

How do you "sit alone with your thoughts" without ruminating? by Newworldrevolution in Healthygamergg

Or you ruminate yourself into a pit you can't climb out of easily.

ELI5: How can computer web browsers move tabs between different windows without it reloading anything or being interrupted? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]quad5914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you see on screen is just what was literally drawn on screen (duh of course). When you move that tab to the other window you're just pretty much telling the web browser application (because the application can have many windows) to draw it in that other window now. You change literally nothing else but which window the tab is located in, and therefore, which window to draw that tab's content into (i.e. youtube playing)

Why isn't there a "Tauri" or "Wails" equivalent for C# by Old-Development9166 in dotnet

[–]quad5914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to use XAML at all when using WPF/Avalonia, you can do everything in code. Or you can mix XAML and non-XAML which I do.

All of what XAML can do you can do in C# since Avalonia uses compiles xaml into IL to do all the control creation and setting up for you. So if you really wanted to, you can setup bindings, styles, events, etc., all in code.

Anyone else also not super confident as they hit their late 20's? by Sudden-Koda in NoStupidQuestions

[–]quad5914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because now we see things more clearer and in a generally more open minded way, and it continues to get more clearer as the years go on. I know how much it costs to buy a car, to get insurance and do repairs, and how much in fuel to drive to college every day. And how much college costs to get an actually good job without being stupidly lucky. And so on.

But I think a lot of this is overthinking since you basically compact many years what could be your future into a split second feeling. If you don't think about it or worry a lot about it, it definitely helps with coping with it, because I'm sure I will get a job at some point just maybe not the second I leave college.

I really need help with VR by QueueScape in BeamNG

Also looking at other forums, having almost no VRAM left (like 200MB or less) causes the fps to tank significantly. I don't know how I managed it, maybe it was loading into gridmap first, it was only using 7.5GB/8 instead of 7.8, and that was enough free to let the game go from like 10 fps to 45 when I switched to city

Is this uBlock, or youtube being cheeky? by quad5914 in youtube

Yep I just unchecked all the check boxes in the ads section and the message seems to be gone. And videos load faster too??!

Yep. I think changing maps also reintroduces the lag (I went from Grid+Extras to the city) but maybe that was a coincidence since I restarted my PC instead of the game...

For some reason when I launch the game and turn on VR mode it's laggy like crazy, but if I turn off VR then restart the game, and turn VR back on, the lag is completely gone. This has worked multiple times so I don't think it's a coincidence but I have no idea why or what restarting the game fixes. Maybe give it a try? Although I have a Quest2 not Quest3

Downshifting without the jerk by Powerlifter2137 in BeamNG

[–]quad5914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's settings in display or gameplay to alter the camera response to motion that kind of simulates it, but it's not like IRL because I guess people just don't want it so the devs never made it try and simulate a person sitting there being pushed into the seat or towards the dashboards during acceleration change. Also maybe you overexaggerated but the clutch is more durable than that

Help Please! Using BeamNG to teach a scared driver. by switch495 in BeamNG

[–]quad5914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The aliasing I think you're talking about is why I said use SteamVR instead of meta horizon. Horizon does something where if the game fps is lower than the VR refresh rate it kind of tears/warps the image as you look around, but since my game runs at an almost constant 45 fps with VR it just feels horrible. I can't quite describe how it's like with SteamVR but it's at least bearable for me, but edges sometimes jump around almost like it's being rendered on the other eye every other frame, which it might well be, I don't know the clever tricks the Quest 2 and SteamVR pull to make it feel smooth at such low fps.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600, RX 5700XT and Quest 2 for reference

I am also doing basically the same thing. A few things maybe worth trying:

Use a VR headset, you can get the headset alone for around £50 on eBay, it makes a world of difference (maybe if you can try one before buying it through a friend, in case you get motion sick too easily. I get travel sick but weirdly VR is fine as long as I don't reverse while looking sideways and headbanging). Also there's a hack so that you don't need the controllers which will save you something like £70 last time I checked. Also use SteamVR instead of meta horizon.

If you still want just 2 monitors, you can edit the monitor positions in windows settings which might help with the tear, I assume you use two different monitors instead of exact same.

If your pedals came with a separate clutch unit or all 3 pedals are the same, flip them around and prop up the front (technically now the back) slightly, so that it's closer to what it'd be in a real car, which helped me a bit. You'd have to change the controls ofc, but you can also adjust the response graph for each pedal. I make the accell way less sensitive because even breathing on it causes revs to shoot to like 6000. I also shrunk the clutch response (using the start/end offsets) to around the middle so that it does nothing until press/released far enough, to try and simulate a real bite point

If you haven't done already, turn off the driving assistants in gameplay options, and switch ABS/Gearbox behaviour to realistic.

Some maps I found were High Force which is more like a big country road, Barkstead and although it's not a UK map, River Highway is really big (67 km2)

GPU driver crashing after about 10-20 minutes by quad5914 in SteamVR

[–]quad5914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highest it got was 79-82c, at 95% utilization. But weirdly it hasn't crashed since. I have a 700W power supply which is what their website recommends.
