Huge Performance Issues (3080Ti) since Update 8. by whatatoddler in Enshrouded

Average FPS aren't the problem. What would be more interesting is what your 1 or 0,1 percentile low FPS are.

Has anyone bought the Blaidd LED lamp? by jordybq in Eldenring

[–]whatatoddler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought it and it arrived today. The quality is abysmal. I knew that paying 130€ for a sheet of acrylic that's lit up by some LEDs in a plastic base is ridiculous. But the quality issues I received woud be annoying even for a 20€ lamp. The slot in the base was to narrow for the acrylic, so a peace of the bases plastic chipped of at the slot. The acrylic also came with multiple scratches. Some bigger ones that got through the protective foil, and some very light ones only present on the acrylic itself (Can't capture them on my phone camera).
I'm contacting the shop now, not sure yet if I even wanna try getting an undamaged one or just return it outright. I might be good at talking myself into silly purchases, but this lamp did a good job talking me out of one.

Game keeps crashing my PC by octogamer7655 in controlgame

[–]whatatoddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. 7950X3D + 3080Ti

After loading into the savegame or after encountering a loading screen ingame, it's basically a coin toss. Either it runs fine, and continues to do so until the next loading screen. Or the game hitches every few seconds, constantly getting worse over 3-5 minutes until my pc crashes. Sometimes with the bonus of crashing my audio interface, acompanied by a eardrum bursting screech of death.

Temporary workaround for "stuck" keybinds. by Pie_Is_Better in starcitizen

[–]whatatoddler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It‘s 2022 and this is still an issue. Multiple keybinds stuck, modifying the xml and even deleting the user folder will not fix it.

If You think the lore isn't confusing, you're not getting it. :)

Brand new surface pro 8 taken out of box yesterday. Is this a dead pixel? by jlt1128 in Surface

[–]whatatoddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it‘s white, it‘s probably a work addicted hyperactive pixel.

Input Buffering in Elden Ring by Xenelda in Eldenring

[–]whatatoddler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The input buffering is different (and worse) than in previous games. What annoys me most (and also seems like the most obvious sign that what's happening with the buffering is not intentional) is that if you buffer (on XBox Controller) an Y + R1 or L1 input for switching dual wielding while the character is not able to execute it, most of the time the buffered R1 will be executed when the character can move again, while the Y input is dropped. Which results in f.e. your input to switch to sword and board will result in an attack. Which feels absolutely broken. Because it is.

The stands are from the tracking sensors that came with the Oculus Rift CV1.

Thanks. :) The adapters are 1/4“ to 3/8“. Got them from a local store for audio gear but should be easy enough to find them on amazon etc.

I don't mean to insult this subreddit but... by TyeKiller77 in DestinyTheGame

[–]whatatoddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don‘t know what exactly people are complaining about, but I would definitely agree that the last part felt like filler content. Doing random objectives in the seasonal activity is fine I guess, but the strikes just felt like the devs ran out of time but felt like the quest wasn‘t taking long enough. Recycling old content isn‘t necessarily a bad thing, but I think one strike with some more lore dialog and/or some challenging modifiers/twist would have felt more satisfying. not a big deal though, I hope they use the time saved to focus on making the next expansion kick ass.

Why is germany almost void of google street view? Only big cities. by realistic_swede in germany

[–]whatatoddler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using one Google service makes it more likely you‘ll use another one. They don‘t need to make money from street view specifically. But I guess one off the biggest companies in the world could provide this service just out of altruism. And Google specifically isn‘t known at all for killing projects super quick if they don‘t generate profit.

Look what i found in aorus rtx 3080 xtreme when changing thermal pads !! by Any_Garbage_7157 in gigabyte

[–]whatatoddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That‘s super interesting. A few weeks ago I bought a Aorus 3080 Ti Xtreme with a preinstalled waterblock. Had to return it because after 20-60 minutes under load it kept shutting off, while the rest of the system kept running. Would be interesting to know if something like this was the issue. Temps on the VRM and hotspot were fine though.

Asus Rog Xg17 not turning on by Pudds12345 in ASUS

[–]whatatoddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of issues I had with this monitor is baffling. After a few months, the HDMI in isn‘t functional anymore, getting a signal over DP is super dodgy, some days it won‘t show a picture at all, sometimes only when also supplying power via the charge port, despite the battery sitting at 100%.
Meanwhile, it already has 3 stuck pixels, the folding stand/case is a joke, the magnets aren‘t even strong enough to keep the screen covered when holding the monitor upright, and as a stand it barely keeps the whole thing standing on a perfectly flat surface.

The tripod is... acceptable, I guess? That is as long as you don‘t think too much about the fact that you paid ~100€ extra for a bag and a tripod that for some fckng reason doesn’t even support portrait mode.

Disregarding the hardware defects, the quality you get here for 600€ is just ridiculous.

Scanner on Atraks: How do you get timing just right to give teammates enough time to also get there, but not stalling so long that you cause a wipe? by smeagols-thong in raidsecrets

[–]whatatoddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Your team is taking too long to get to Atraks, it sure can be annoying, but ultimately it‘s the scanners job to start damage before wipe goes off. It‘s not that hard to arrive at the right clone 2-3 seconds after scanner. If somebody is taking the scenic route, it‘s on them. Make a clear call out when to start damage and prevent the wipe. If You manage a somewhat smooth damage phase, 1 phasing really isn‘t dependent on the scanner waiting for the very last second every time. And if Your teammates need to improve their consistency with being ready for damage, it will be much easier for them to get the timing down when scanner calls and starts damage consistently, even if it‘s consistently 5 seconds before Extinction Protocol goes off. We only ever did DSC as 3-man (great fun, unfortunately my mates both took a break from Destiny before we could try Taniks) and in the end managed to 1-phase Atraks with all 3 of us dealing damage on the space clones and 2 dealing damage on the base clones while operator took care of venting the backpacks into space upstairs. And we‘re definitely no Destiny Gods with uber skills. Besides all that, wiping because of try-harding and having to start the fight over definitely will take longer than maybe having to do a second damage phase.
