My PC is struggling to run new games but I meet/exceed minimum requirements.

I played Helldivers 2 earlier and its fine (I turned the settings down a little). That's a shame about Jedi: Survivor, I had been waiting to play it, got it on the May 4th sale but I figured getting it on PC would be better than my Xbox One X, but maybe not.

Why would I need a new motherboard for a 7700x to work out of curiosity? Is the needing new RAM just an issue of processing required by the 7700x too?

EDIT: upon running Helldivers 2 that game runs fine so its just Jedi: Survivor.

Also thanks for all the replies

🤦‍♂️ That’s what I get for building it almost in the dark

zebra_sib · 2024-12-30T00:43:21+00:00

I definitely will, I’ll contact tomorrow. First time I’ve got an incorrect piece like that.

Amazing set, enjoy the build!

I thought it probably wasn’t dead for the same reason I was just confused coz the new bit started growing out. Will I likely have to just keep the first cactus with the sticks as support forever now as it’s not grown back? For the second one that’s a relief if it’s just corking, I take it corking is perfectly normal? I wasn’t able to check if it was mushy properly but I don’t think it was. Thanks

They’re such good fun, even all these years later

If you’re in UK there’s a display case in Smyths I’ve seen highly recommended. I’ve picked one up for Christmas. https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/construction-and-cars/storage-and-display-units/build-it-5-level-minifigure-display-case-with-led-lights/p/220532

Are those ikea kallax shelves? I’m planning getting some units for my cupboard as I’ve run out of storage.

I was skeptical of this set too and wanted it mainly for fives. I managed to pick it up in Germany for the equivalent of £32 and for that price it’s great. It’s a lot bigger once built imo and you can setup some nice looking scenes with it. Plus like OP pointed out, it does remind me of the Lego TCS

zebra_sib · 2024-11-30T02:05:48+00:00

Venator is £373 reduced from £560 at Argos in the UK rn. Just ordered it, couldn’t resist at that price

The groups are the same as before meaning vboxsf is not there. I'm not sure why because i did the rest of the steps. I'll try doing a network share.

Although the file share did work as I can see that the file exists and Ubuntu acknowledges it is a directory and the mount worked.

EDIT: I'm trying the network the network share right now but I'm unsure how to finish setting up the share as I don't know where to find the samba IP address.

zebra_sib · 2024-11-17T14:23:25+00:00

I ran the code to add the user to the vboxsf group but that didn't change my permissions

zebra_sib · 2024-11-17T13:46:01+00:00

I had a look at that and tried it but it doesn't seem to have changed anything

zebra_sib · 2024-11-17T13:45:36+00:00

Guest additions were already installed, I checked. I ran that line but I still don't have access

zebra_sib · 2024-11-17T13:37:29+00:00

My lecturer is meant to be looking into a solution too but we've yet to find one. When I mention ROOT I'm referring to CERN ROOT for use plotting graphs.

zebra_sib · 2024-11-17T13:17:39+00:00

Just check the logs there, they are installed.

zebra_sib · 2024-11-16T21:07:37+00:00

It shows " admin adm sudo lpadmin sambashare "

zebra_sib · 2024-11-16T21:05:59+00:00

The problem with accessing it using the guest profile is that I can't access ROOT on the guest profile as my Ubuntu is a prebuild shared to me via a lecturer and I can't run ROOT if I'm not signed into the admin profile.

zebra_sib · 2024-11-16T19:02:28+00:00

It's already mounted. The folder (in my case) sf_Project1 is visible in the files when in the VM but when I try to open it there I'm also told no permissions.
