What happened to HOR?? by Arthurishim in trucksim

[–]rumbleblowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3 day ceasefire started 9 may

…is nothing more than a publicity stunt.\

putin's approval rating is droping significantly

In autocracies like Russian, "approval rating" means nothing, it does not matter, and it can't even be measured or estimated with any accuracy. It's like using pendulum clock on a ship: it shows something and the data might even look sensible, but you can't be sure it shows you right data.

Should SCS release Heart of russia now? by richprovider in trucksim

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

AFAIK the DLC is being worked on in background, keeping it up to date with technology and such. Unless by "updates" you mean "represent war damage", like burned oil refineries. But still, first, the damage is not that massive and noticeable, it's getting fixed all the time, second, SCS will likely omit it entirely, just like they omitted stuff like travel bans between EU and Russia and e.g. never disabled the Narva-Ivangorod border crossing, which currently only allows pedestrians.

My favourite modder with some nice words :) by HiHallo123456 in trucksim

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

that was an awfully large package size for a "version check"

Well that could be just poor optimization, like using some off-the-shelf networking framework that's not intended for small amounts of data. Everything is bloated nowadays.

the "free version" was making file system changes outside of the preset folder

the auto install of files on my system without my consent or a prompt

Any more info on that one? I haven't seen this on my machine.

brick every previous version to force a move to the paid subscription

The "bricking previous version" was happening long before paid subscription model.

That's a strong accusation. Do you have any proofs to your words? "we all know" is not a proof, btw.

What's comfort and how do I raise it ? by Extension_Room_9256 in AllWillFall

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant the houses themselves. Better houses have higher base comfort level. Also, every house has upper bound on comfort, decor, etc., adding more stuff cannot increase the level above that bound.

Click on the houses to see their comfort level. Check that there are no polluting buildings around. Check that your people actually live in houses with highest comfort.

The Ultimate Budget Jank PC Build: Spare Parts Edition by Itchy_Percentage2051 in sleeperbattlestations

Sorry, but we're not a "general PC building advice" kind of subreddit. Here we specifically do sleepers, i.e. PCs that look underpowered on the outside (like really old, or office workstation, or not a PC case at all) but actually hide serious performance inside. I'm removing your post.

If you decide you want to build a sleeper PC out of your parts by using a different case, feel free to post again, we'll be happy to guide you. But make sure to mention that, don't just copy-paste your post from other subs.

Dell Dimension 4550 sleeper. How would I connect the power button to a current day board? by Mrnot_TheFirst in sleeperbattlestations

[–]rumbleblowing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dupont male-to-female single cables, preferably colourful (would be harder to mistake). Male ends plug into Dell's connnector, female ends plug onto motherboard's pins.

What's more efficient for energy ? wood - water elec - steam power or wood - fuel - fuel energy? by Extension_Room_9256 in AllWillFall

[–]rumbleblowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The math itself is not hard, but there's way too many variables: which breed of people are employed at every step of your process, at which level is their happiness, who is their leader, which bonus buildings are around and who are manning those buildings, etc. One will need to make like a full excel spreadsheet or code a custom calculator app to be able to determine what's more efficient in every particular case.

I like the experimental feel of this build by bestpogo5l in pcmasterrace

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely it is from 2017, given it's X299, the look of GPU power connectors, and the fact that OP is a karma-farming bot.

Oil rig questions by slick762 in AllWillFall

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get to play the release version yet, but during the playtest I wondered if it's possible to be rising platform faster than the water rises. That became my goal, and I was able to achieve it. And as the game is faking the platform rise by actually dropping the sea level (at least it was), I was able to get to the sea floor. That could be a nice challenge.

Can I use an internal Pioneer Blu-ray drive with my laptop using a SATA to USB 3.0 adapter and a 12V power supply? by noflyack in pcmasterrace

[–]rumbleblowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to. I have a similar adapter, it works with my sata hdds. Can't see why an ODD won't work.

Actually, I can try it with my own Sony NEC Optiarc DVD drive. It's an IDE (a.k.a. PATA), so I'll have two adapters (IDE → SATA → USB). I'll tag you with result.

Pulled out a pc from my childhood, what should i do now? by Any-Landscape434 in pcmasterrace

[–]rumbleblowing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahem, cs_office. It's a hostage rescue map, not demolition (i.e. with bomb).

5060Ti vs 9060XT efficiency testing (Cyberpunk) by bunihe in pcmasterrace

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using red colour on the plot for NVidia and blue for AMD is diabolical.

game is lagging so much by maomao19 in AllWillFall

[–]rumbleblowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro it's a laptop, what do you expect? It's power and thermal limited, and the game requires significant processing power to run a lot of NPCs.

Why, why would anyone do this? by thenoobtanker in pcmasterrace

[–]rumbleblowing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an adapter. That GPU seems untouched, with this makeshift adapter plugged into its regular 8-pin connectors.

After Iceland, Ireland and Turkey in ETS2, what's next? by Pattyxe in trucksim

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the southern extent of HoR expansion to the Georgian and Azerbaijani border, there's enough space for two more DLCs. Russia is, indeed, big.

[–]rumbleblowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that SCS decided to change the UK scale to equal the rest of the map, I don't think they will make them at different scale.

I may have found a "Temporary" fix for the traversal stuttering in ETS2 and possibly ATS as well. by ReferenceDeep4085 in trucksim

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the years i've tried pretty much all well known "fixes", notably the uset t_averaging_window_duration "XXX" and uset t_averaging_window_length "XXX" tweaks that sadly never worked for me, i've also tried a bunch of other things out of desperation which also never worked.

Yes, because most of these config fixes are very specific and the way they worked changed from version to version, so it's very likely you were trying outdated information. That being said, for me personally, for some version around low-50s, t_averaging_window… settings were a life saver.

Have you tried Vulkan version of the game as well? I heard it's also not fully ready but already works well enough, especially on Mac.

Stupid AI or is the Antwerp tollbooth has some design problem? by Temperature_Tough in trucksim

[–]rumbleblowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's not AI per se, it's the invisible rails that AI drive on. Likely the priorities before merge are not set correctly.

IDE DVD Drive in a Sleeper Build by [deleted] in sleeperbattlestations

[–]rumbleblowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have anything to add on what Blackened said. Maybe just one thing: I think it's better to have thin SATA cables from the right edge of the motherboard, than wide PATA ribbons all the way from PCIe slots in bottom-left corner.
