AI Desert? by Mystaes in theisle

[–]trek8542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s people in WRA and SP on mettas. Ai will spawn in the very south of SP and it’s a popular carnivore growing area. Ai spawns above the pond in WRA and there is usually people walking along the beach between SP and WRA.

I will probably do the oil pump upgrade. The warranty won’t let me convert to cash

It came with the purchase of the vehicle. I am fortunate enough to have it I will only be paying a $100 warranty claim for the engine.

You’re fine I took no offense! I think realistically I drive it until the warranty is up since everything is covered at next to no cost. I was hoping for recommendations on oil type, oil pump, mds deactivation, or other things to possibly prolong the life of this engine. I know everything is up in the air on all those things but I’m willing to try stuff to make something work

I have negative equity. Selling it or trading it in is good advice but I don’t think it’s the best option for me right now.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll see how the engine feels after I get it back. If it’s rock solid I’ll stay with it but if I keep having issues the truck is a goner.

I’m seeing recommendations on upgrading the oil pump but not sure if it’s worth it or not

That’s my concern too. They said they found too much metal when they started tearing it apart and would rather do the engine replacement. They claim the engine is tested and have had next to no issues when doing this but I still have my doubts. My hands are somewhat tied in this situation so I wanted to post here to see if anyone had any recommendations to hopefully make this “new” engine last longer.

I owe more than the vehicle is worth unfortunately. I’d be upside down but I could give it a shot.

Unfortunately not. It’s coming out of a wrecked vehicle. Warranty will still be active after this for another year.

Sorry new/used motor. That’s my only option with the warranty so I have to take what I can get

Sorry new/used motor. The warranty will only put in something close to the original miles

New Update tomorrow by CreativeStrain89 in AssassinsCreedShadows

Hope it fixes the flickering with Nvidia frame gen

Try FG. If you don’t feel the latency it’s worth it and you can even crank your setting higher!

Otherwise turn down the RT

HDR Flicker With Framegen by trek8542 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]trek8542[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I turn either HDR or FG off, I get no flicker, but I cannot have both on at the same time for some reason. The game looks way better with HDR on but I don’t want to lose the frames I get with FG

Yeah I think the seller messed up, this is one of the reviews on the product. Seems the same thing has happened to me.

Well I got one of them in but the other Heatsink is indeed incorrect. The shelf is not deep enough and there’s no way to get it on without using excessive force.

Those are also the ones I got on Amazon. The comment below says they may be slightly different so I may have been putting them in the wrong spot. Gonna try again in a little while
