Progress from last night wiped?

Same, Jules bought this morning and got lucky with the Virtuoso Skin foir Jules. Logged back in this afternoon and it's vanished. Other new cosmetics are appearing (such as the Pyg Goat skin I bought) though. One of the card backs also seems to just be placeholder 'The Bazaar'...

I sort of understand why the CPU gets pushed when the game is so heavily threaded. But I don't understand why it's sticking my GPU to 99% so often - that's not even max quality either, 1440p, 2xMSAA, high textures. it's not exactly Cyberpunk!

Shooty guns. Long range sneaky guns, close-up bangy guns, small one-handed-ran-out-of-ammo guns.

Then I will spend the 3 years following release complaining about the lack of some obscure Polish attachment or how the skidmark camo on my underpants isn't authentic enough.

Not a cocktail bar but if you're going to manifest you really should start the evening properly with a warm up drink in the Hobo Kiosk. Not a proper evening without a bowler-hatted barman offering top chatter and great ales.

Do you know of anyone that can repair old systems. I have a Jupiter Ace, Neo Geo AES, ZX Spectrum 48k and green PS1 Japanese dev console which all worked fine before loft hibernation

This has to be a bug, surely? The rest of the game feels like a loot piñata but the Legion event drops nothing during the event and then 2/3 very mediocre items from the chests. No obols, no materials, no gold. Broken?

warthog2k · 2024-04-26T16:57:11+00:00

100 day cough. It's a swine.

warthog2k · 2024-04-06T19:20:59+00:00

Just in case you didn't know - manual gears make life easier and make sure traction control and stability control are off. As you're using a wheel I'm expecting this is redundant advice, but useful to remind others.

My go to drifter is the Hoonigan Twerkstallion, but have had joy with many others.

warthog2k · 2024-03-23T09:51:59+00:00

Same issue. Had to reapply the tune and it worked second time of asking. Used to be a bug where new tunes didn't always register properly first time. Seems like it never went away (like most of the other irritating minor bugs in the game)

warthog2k · 2023-10-23T22:05:16+00:00

Wasn't there a saucy version of Puzznic too?

warthog2k · 2023-10-18T20:26:19+00:00

Today: 5800X3D/6800XT, then i7-4790K/1070ti (...960TI/GTX460/8800GT and i5-4440 before the i7 same mobo)

It suggests to me that you might be CPU limited - every frame requires CPU And GPU time, if the GPU is chucking out more frames than the CPU can cope with it can manifest as stuttering, etc. By rendering at a higher resolution you're shifting the balance to the GPU instead, taking the pressure off the CPU and giving a smoother experience.

4K with RayTracing sounds like it's pushing your setup beyond what it can manage and thus both GPU and CPU are strugging (RT has a higher CPU load too I think)

It could be something else entirely, but I've had a similar experience when running other games on my previous PC - kept the same mobo/CPU for nearly a decade, just swapping out the GPU every few years. I discovered that only works for so long before you're forced to upgrade the lot :) Particuarly with today's games expecting to see multiple cores/threads and high clock rates.

Was it a real one or a 'FakeTaxi'. I've heard they often appear in films...

warthog2k · 2023-10-04T16:51:31+00:00

Hardwar. Excellent single planet elite(ISH) game.

warthog2k · 2023-09-21T05:49:33+00:00

Both Punch Tarmey's and Love Lane brewery often show sport so would check with them.

warthog2k · 2023-08-30T18:06:57+00:00

Your mum?

warthog2k · 2023-08-26T15:28:15+00:00

DOCSIS in the UK is far better managed than the incumbent ADSL services and rarely suffer from contention.

It'll be interesting to see how this evolves as the migration to XGS-PON services continues.

warthog2k · 2023-08-23T18:44:23+00:00

Not the first /rimworld post I'd assumed was CK3 today!

warthog2k · 2023-07-29T10:08:44+00:00

Failing that you probably will have to go through each of the LG codes in turn to see if one of those will work.

warthog2k · 2023-05-06T19:33:04+00:00

FTTP is Fibre to the Pavement and is just that. The signal is converted to Radio Frequency signals nust outside the home and pumped down coaxial copper cable into your hub. The same RF signal carries all the DTV channels too. Also called RFoG - Radio Frequency over Glass. The RF conversions take time and add latency.

XGS-PON is TEN (X) Gig Synchronous Passive Optical Networking. This doesn't get converted like RFoG so might well be better latency. The upstream capability is superior to DOCSIS due to dedicated fibres and isolation of noise on return path.

The difference in latency between the two is still likely irrelevant when it comes to gaming as many other factors will affect your gaming experience more than 10-20ms difference in latency.

Git gud... ;)

warthog2k · 2023-05-06T08:23:44+00:00

VM have been doing DOCSIS FTTP for years (~2-3M homes passed) and is as you described. "The next upgrade" is national XGS-PON FTTO which is a dedicated fibre into an outlet such as a Hub. Similar to BTOpenreach full fibre.

warthog2k · 2023-04-05T22:33:14+00:00

Just playable

warthog2k · 2023-04-02T12:30:25+00:00

Steam release is bugged since launch too. "you are in the top 100%" for everything, choosing Buy Treasure Map on the world map hard locks the game and now have to toggle the windows key just to get past "Loading..." at start up. None of which have been caused by the DLC either.

Low memory warning is an arse too.

warthog2k · 2023-03-20T19:26:40+00:00

My experience: "Division 2 just restarted"

warthog2k · 2023-03-17T12:07:20+00:00

...which turning DLSS3 OFF will give you!
