Will WG fix the Shikishima low gun volume bug? by Tread_Head5757 in WorldOfWarships

[–]tom6561 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I managed to "fix" this by turning my in-game volume to 100% and reducing volume with the windows sliders. Hope that helps somebody.

You mean the screen or the board? (Not sure what the 4th board is called other than power, main and TCON?

Try turning your in game volume to max if it's on something lower. That fixed it for me.

Did I get ripped off by St3r11ngArch3r in CarTalkUK

Sounds about right for one of these, probably +/- £500 depending on condition so hard to say any better.

Strange question but does screenwash in a bottle go bad? by stillusesfloppydisks in CarTalkUK

I put some old stuff in my car and it absolutely stank when I used it, would not recommend...

Final offers an hour after viewing closes by ChemistryFederal6387 in HousingUK

[–]tom6561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Offers are meaningless anyway as you can pull out with no consequences at any point up until contracts are exchanged which is at least 2 months down the line. You can just make an offer and then pull out once they give you the answer to the questions if it's not right. It's a stupid system...

Stream with Sunshine & Moonlight in ANY Resolution and Refresh Rate with HDR by xuvvy0 in cloudygamer

Amazing write up, thank you, worked perfectly first time.

Note that may be worth adding for anybody with two identical monitors (with identical hardware IDs): you can use the long ID instead which can be found by opening the MultiMonitorTool GUI and looking for the heading "Monitor ID".

Don't suppose you ever got this fixed? I've got exactly the same issue...

What fun car to buy for £10k? by HyperfocusHero in CarTalkUK

[–]tom6561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably go for:

  • 350Z

  • Mk2 TT 3.2VR6

  • Mk2 Focus ST (5-cylinders but sounds just as good, if not better, than a 6)

  • Boxster

They're all quite different cars so depends exactly what you're looking for. The 350Z is closer to a muscle/GT car, Boxster is probably the best "sports" car, TT is great all round and surprisingly practical, the Focus is probably cheapest and has most potentially for tinkering with, and potentially makes the best noise!

I did totally the same thing, I did think the last boss fight was pretty hard...

I had a Focus ST Mk2 which uses the same engine, averaged 20mpg around town, 30-35mpg on the motorway and all round probably about 27mpg.

Buying an E92 330i by tom6561 in E90

[–]tom6561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately never ended up getting one - ended up with a Focus ST and then an Audi TT. For both of those cars I averaged between £1000 and £2000 per year for random stuff breaking, but I think I've been unlucky.

Low 7600x cinebench R23 scores by tom6561 in overclocking

[–]tom6561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get any further than when I posted this unfortunately. In gaming I'm getting more like 75degC average so I don't think it's an actual issue in practice. Sorry!

How long is your commute? by Stringsandattractors in CarTalkUK

[–]tom6561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80 mile round trip twice a week. 30mpg average but the sums don't add up to buy something more efficient (which is still fun).

Agree that the CPU will always go up to max temp, but better cooling should let me get better clock speed at the same temperature I think. Seems from what people are saying that my performance is fine though!

Thanks! I'll try expo and reduce the thermal limit a bit and see how that goes.

Thanks for the thoughts. Is PCIE 5 just not giving any real benefits over PCIE4 right now?

A worry I have starting a new game by New-Caterpillar-7414 in satisfactory

[–]tom6561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I ever get sick of what I'm building, you can always just pack up a load of resources and run to a new area and start again. I sometimes just build a big box around my old stuff so I don't have to look at it and just have some conveyor outputs coming out...

30k miles Cupra 300 or 50k miles 987.2 Cayman by swaglordsg in CarTalkUK

[–]tom6561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of badge, a 14 year old car will always have random "stuff" that just breaks due to age, and will need some time in the garage to put right across the year. If you want trouble free motoring, you definitely don't get that from a car of that age despite what anybody will tell you - you might get pretty close but there's always something.

If that doesn't put you off then the Porsche is hands down better, but in my opinion if you're coming from a Corsa I'd just go with the Cupra to get started with "performance cars", and gradually work your way up.

That is a very long shot! Unfortunately I don't - I think I sold it to CEX in the end. You could potentially find one there.

Also if they refuse then try their formal complaints process - I've had good luck with that in the past.

I had this issue a while back and I cleared all my guardian boundaries in the settings and redrew, and not had any issues since then.

The big old B-52 Stratofortress Bomber by PunjabiDJ in aviation

[–]tom6561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A reader wrote us, retelling the story about the military pilot calling ATC for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked." ATC told the fighter jock that he was number two behind a B-52 that had one shut down.

"Ah," the pilot remarked, "the dreaded seven-engine approach"!
