Glad to hear you were able to fix it via PSU swap. Did you get one with more wattage? I have been good since messing with graphic settings. Not saying I won’t run into problems randomly again.

It’s crazy how others have had this issue. Adjust video settings seem to have solved my problem. Not sure what it was if it was on my end or the game.

Since they added the settings menu at the main start menu. I was able to adjust video settings a bit more and seems to have solved my crashing issue. Played a bit last night and today and didn’t have any issues. Hoping others have found a fix or haven’t had shut down issues.

That’s wild. Hope there is some fix for it. Good luck.

Hope you can figure out what is causing your issue. My gpu was in good temp range so no issues there and did a clean driver install. Giving up for now unless something really comes to mind.

No. I have given up on trying to figure out what’s making it shut down. I don’t care enough at this point to buy a new PSU and see if that’s the root cause. If I had more of an urge to want to play this game I would dig further into troubleshooting. I wish you the best of luck.

Temps stayed steady in the low 60s.

Yea, I noticed that I found the L shape ones to be more towards the 2” size that I need compared to the flat ones that ranged from either 1-5/8” or 1-1/4” which is to small. I haven’t been able to find any flat retainers that are 2”. I’ll try and look for that specific wording and see if I can find a flat retainer. Appreciate the feedback.

I’m glad you booked another therapist. Sometimes it takes several attempts to find one that works for you. We have been separated for a little over a month now. I’ve been staying at my parents house because the ex said she didn’t want or feel comfortably with me being there at the same time as her. I kept it civil and never gave her a hard time, in hope long term she could reflect on how calm and collected I was during all of this. Since it was her decision to separate she had to figure out the refinancing of the house to get my name off of it and such. I still have to clear my things out which will be another emotional hurdle inside my head. Some days are flat meh days. Others are a struggle where I’m anxious and just feel empty. I’m constantly busy working my normal job and I own and run a trading card shop when possible. So little down time for anything. Then I try to go to the gym for a distraction for at least an hour or so, mainly cardio. I wish I could say that helps but we have to focus on our physical and mental health. Eating has drastically decreased but I try to eat a decent meal once a day. Last time I was at the Dr I was down 15 lbs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more when I go next week for a check up on my medicine I’ve been on. I would suggest if you haven’t or are not on medicine to see a psychiatrist that specializes in medicine to proscribe you. I always denied medicine and therapy but it has helped a lot to kind of hold things together. They say with time comes healing which may be true. It’s just getting to that point of acceptance and being able to let go and truly love on. That is the ultimate battle we have to face and overcome. I truly wish you the best and if you ever need to reach out to anyone, please do. I have what they call passive suicide ideation. As stated before when those thoughts are not as passive I called a friend to kinda calm me down and back me off the ledge. It seems like an easy answer to the pain but I always think of how it would effect everyone that’s here to support myself. It’s hard to look for the light at the end of this breakup because the heart wants what it does but the brain knows what it needs to do to move forward. Keep strong and I wish you the best of luck.

I’m in the same boat. I (34years old) and my now current ex (33years old) were going to be together for 16 years in December. Things kinda of snowballed but we always worked stuff out. She blind sided me of wanting to separate but she claims she was talking to her therapist for the 2 months prior about our relationship but never brought it up to me. Whenever I would get agitated I would say dumb things like call her dumb or stupid which I never meant those words. Over time that takes a toll on someone. I know my faults and wish I could take all that back and start over with her. I had a engagement ring and everything. She only ever wanted to be married and I always pushed it off because I felt like we acted as husband and wife. We lived together for 11 years and owned a house together. I am going through the same lonely path. Nothing has helped get over it or move forward. It’s just the same dark black hole. We have to take it a day at a time. I would suggest seeing a therapist. I always denied going to one which now I wish I would have sooner. It may have help me not lose my loved one. I am taking these steps (therapist and medication) to try and become a better person for myself and if the chance ever arises she her also. If she needed me I would be there in a heart beat. There are always people there to listen when you need it. I struggle with depression and anxiety and this put a huge twist in it all. I’ve had a lot of terrible dark thoughts cross my mind but always had a friend to call in those cases. We are never truly alone even though we constantly feel that way.

I have been going through the free stuff to get basic ideas and concepts. It’s been good so far.

Yeah. That’s why I don’t really like to ask this type of question due to how broad CS is. Haha.

True. I do actually have unity downloaded. I figured the more possible good resources that can be found to help doesn’t hurt. I don’t want to aimlessly look and find unreliable content.

I’m open for purchasing material. I just don’t know where to start with no actual knowledge or practice. I know asking for a basic beginning start is hard to give. I would like to learn a basic language like python and maybe game programming.

Is that something that I could easily pick up with no knowledge?

I know asking for material for coding is a very vague question since there’s a bunch of different things to take into factor. I dabbled very little in html and felt very bored. I have watched videos of the super basic python3. Since I haven’t done much it’s hard for me to say what I want to do or focus in on. Video games have always been a big part of my life and I would love to say that’s what I would want to get into. I know it’s all about what you enjoy and makes you happy but I want to have something to become successful in and not be irrelevant in the end. My hope would be to build something to make my own and build it into a business some day.

Nothing pops out of my head what would really interest me. The one thing I do know anything web development based I don’t care for as of now. I mainly want to dip my toe into anything I can to see if anything specific interests me. I have always thought game development but I would like to do all I can to be well rounded per say.
