[deep sapphire]

yeah haha

which is likely why it was set so high

pretty stupid though because you can change it in the menu

but it did nothing

[dull garnet]

Well

They would have just changed one of the many roms

Guess the US one had the value locked vs other regions

[deep sapphire]

weird lmao

[dull garnet]

A CPS2 ROM board is like 16-20 ICs

Still want an ST A+B board

[tall crag]

hello friends might i get some help with graphics settings thanks #questions-and-help message

[modest moss]

what actual hardware are you running?

[modest moss]

^

[tall crag]

ryzen 5600x and rx460 2gb

[modest moss]

what happens if you try running on high?

[tall crag]

uh, I haven't bothered installing msi afterburner to see my fps

let me try

[modest moss]

you can see fps by hitting escape in ffxiv

it shows on that settings menu

[tall crag]

oh took me a while to find it, it drops from 60 to 35-40 and i can feel it...

[modest moss]

what resolution are you playing at?

[tall crag]

1080p

oh i'm in the japanese city from stormblood rn

[modest moss]

could try dropping to 720p with high settings

also may be worth trying borderless windowed if you're on fullscreen

[tall crag]

i was. but now i'm being forced to exclusive fullscreen or windowed to change my OS resolution

[modest moss]

unfortunately your gpu is a potato

[tall crag]

wait there are GPUs that let you change the game resolution on borderless windowed??

[modest moss]

no I just mean in general

[tall crag]

I'm tempted to play 720p windowed on high settings but my UI is all messed up rn and i can't scale it down

[modest moss]

maybe some other nerd in here will have a better idea

[dull garnet]

2GB is very little video ram

I'd try lowest settings with native res personally

[modest moss]

click his first link, it's super dark

[dull garnet]

I see

Lighting setting?

Also did they try another map, I think that one place has large shadows in places

[tall crag]

it only happened 3 times during a cinematic when it was nighttime outside >_<

vram is fine.... i think....

[dull garnet]

Looks alright yeah

Keep an eye on it during gameplay I guess

[tall crag]

yes, for now i will cope with low framerate

I enjoy this kinda post so much XD

that machine apparently has a k6-2. those came out in 1998

by 2000 the pentium 3 was already old news

today 2 years feels like nothing in tech haha

[snow cypress]

So I decided to switch pc cases but now im not getting any display. The pc turns on but nothing pops up

[latent grotto]

So... are you plugged into the mobo or the gpu@snow cypress

[snow cypress]

The gpu

[latent grotto]

Are you seeing fans spin on the gpu

[snow cypress]

No the only fans spinning are the case fan and the fans from the liquid cooler

[latent grotto]

The gpu fans aren't spinning?

[snow cypress]

No but it’s lighting up

[modest moss]

did you plug in the gpu power cables right?

[snow cypress]

Probably not

[sly elk]

take a picture?

[latent grotto]

I'd check connections and make sure its seated

[modest moss]

make sure theyre clicked in

[wide hill]

probably the gpu is even so cool that they don't spin till hit certain temperature

[latent grotto]

It might have a zero rpm mode

[wide hill]

and or check bios if you can set the fan speed

[latent grotto]

But I wouldn't know

I dont suppose your mobo has a led display for errors or something?

[wide hill]

boot codes?

[snow cypress]

Unfortunately no

[sly elk]

do you have gpu power plugged in?

(the plugs might look different but should be in a similar location on the front/outer edge)

[snow cypress]

Yea

[wide hill]

try checking if your hdmi cable is connected to the gpu

and or, if that isn't connected, try the motherboard hdmi

[sly elk]

that looks good

[wide hill]

if that doesn't work, try removing the cmos battery to reset the bios

[sly elk]

what kinda motherboard?

[modest moss]

may want to remove and reseat the gpu

[sly elk]

we can check if it has any status LEDs

[latent grotto]

May just need a restart

[snow cypress]

G15dk

https://rog.asus.com/desktops/mid-tower/rog-strix-ga15-g15-series/spec

[latent grotto]

I've had it happen with my old gpu where it wouldn't display a picture if I turned it on immediately after plugging in power and had to be restarted

[wide hill]

👀 spec doesnt say what motherboard it has

[modest moss]

my dude are you the guy they made install an AIO and then superglue your power button?

[latent grotto]

Yea looks like it

I didn't tell them to do anything this time

[modest moss]

@deep sapphire @hard drift get in here and redeem yourselves

[sly elk]

[deep sapphire]

huh

oh

dont care

[latent grotto]

Wow hank

[snow cypress]

Got tired of doing the whole screwdriver on the motherboard to turn it on so decided to try and switch cases

[modest moss]

the guy who you told to superglue his power button, he tried to change case and now his gpu won't work

redeem thyself

[latent grotto]

Are you using the same psu in the new case?

[deep sapphire]

not my fault, not my problem

[snow cypress]

Yea

[modest moss]

yikes

[deep sapphire]

🙂

[latent grotto]

Can you take a photo of all the connections on your mobo@snow cypress

[sly elk]

trying to find some info

I love that they put a sticker over the board model number

does that mobo look like yours?

[modern iris]

hello, im really confused why I have these weird blinking white things on my screen whenever im panning the camera around. I have a geforce rtx 3060 and play on Direct 11. Is this a sign my gpu is dying D: or is this easily fixable

[snow cypress]

Yes nearly identical

[deep sapphire]

that is an asset in the background/texture that isnt loading fast enough for the camera pan

you could probably fix it by disabling LOD

[modern iris]

i did try that , i should have mentioned b4 hand I turned on LOD but that didnt work

and then turning it off didnt work either

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-disappointments-day-is-ruined-gif-15834250

[deep sapphire]

if you already tried updating your graphics card drivers probably not much more you can do, as long as it isnt occurring everywhere I wouldnt worry about it

it seems to be happening because of the fast camera panning

[modest moss]

could decrease draw distance?

[modern iris]

that might be it: when i was trying to recreate the effect to record so you guys know what im on about it was only when i moved it real fast that it happened

[deep sapphire]

game engines load and unload assets to save memory and if the camera pans too quick it could be that the asset didnt load fast enough

[modern iris]

lemme go test it more :o

But yes I have updated my drivers; i checked a few mins ago and I was up to date

[sly elk]

the ram is in the [][x][][x] slots?

looks correct to me

the plugs look like they're all in the right places

[snow cypress]

Could it be this?

[sly elk]

?

that's the PSU the computer came with?

[snow cypress]

Yea

[deep sapphire]

It’s more of an issue if you get assets doing this frequently as that could be a sign of bad drivers or fault GPU memory

[sly elk]

I don't think the way you have things connected would lead to you getting no video

[wide hill]

have you tried connecting the hdmi to the different ports in your pc?

there are 2 hdmi ports you have, which one is plugged in?

[sly elk]

so I'm looking at this goofy video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umYtqzayw9c

what happened to the heatsink to the left of the cpu? 😄

[snow cypress]

Yea I tried the motherboard and the other

[wide hill]

and both doesn't show anything?

[snow cypress]

Nope

[latent grotto]

think the cpu is a 5600x so mobo wouldn't have any picture anyway

[deep sapphire]

do you see the bios splash screen at all

when your turn your PC on

[snow cypress]

Nope

[deep sapphire]

does your monitor get a signal

[snow cypress]

Nope

[deep sapphire]

do your GPU fans turn on

[latent grotto]

they're not spinning

[snow cypress]

No, just lights up

[latent grotto]

we're not sure if it has a zero rpm mode or not

wait does it spin at all when you first turn it on

cuz they should still spin at the beginning

and then stop

[deep sapphire]

yeah, thats part of the boot up checksum

[wide hill]

reset bios time

[deep sapphire]

MOST of the time this is related to memory, its likely either not installed correctly, or it went bad

[modest moss]

leaning towards removing cmos battery for 10 mins, I had to do that

[deep sapphire]

CMOS battery being dead will usually still boot after a certain duration of time but I guess I wouldnt rule it out

regardless, yes I didnt read up but from what I gathered this PC was put into a new case correct?

[latent grotto]

yea put into new case

[modest moss]

the battery will be fine, it's only a 3 month old rig

it's that Asus prebuilt

[wide hill]

i meant for the cmos to be removed so we get a new bios configuration

[deep sapphire]

did you remove all the components from the board before you installed the new board

and did you properly ground yourself before touching the board

[latent grotto]

hank

i never ground myself

[deep sapphire]

I fried my CPU fan controller once by not doing this

[modest moss]

right, I've had to do that when a gpu upgrade was being a tool, I was getting no video signal

@snow cypress do you have a spare old pcie gpu?

[wide hill]

i just noticed, its a 5600x, ofcourse the motherboard hdmi port aint gonna work

[snow cypress]

Unfortunately no

[modest moss]

should have just had a local tech guy replace the power button instead of buying a new case tbh

[latent grotto]

what if they wanted more airflow

[modest moss]

too soon

[tall crag]

i assume it worked fine until you decided to switch just the case?

[snow cypress]

Yea

[wide hill]

have you tried removing the cmos??

[snow cypress]

Removed it for like 1 minute

[wide hill]

and plugged off the power brick?

[snow cypress]

Yea

[latent grotto]

time to go check all the connections and reseat the gpu while the psu is unplugged again

did you feel a click for everything you plugged in?

[wide hill]

its weird for the gpu to light up and still isn't seated correctly

[snow cypress]

Yea on the gpu and some of the cords

[modern iris]

ty for the help earlier ^^ for some reason its not happening anymore after lowering settings and restarting the game, and nah it wasnt frequent b4, it only just started very infrequently today :p

[latent grotto]

what do you mean some

[modern iris]

my gpu is new so id have been very mad if it was already dying xD

[latent grotto]

unless its the I/O connectors or usb 3 there should have a click for all the connectors

[snow cypress]

This big one and this corner one clicked when plugged in

[deep sapphire]

yeah I feel ya it would be frustrating, like I said if its infrequent I wouldnt worry about it all that much

[latent grotto]

so...

the pcie connectors on the gpu did not click?

[snow cypress]

Yea those and the ones in the power supply clicked too

[deep sapphire]

when you installed the board

[modest moss]

the gpu clicked itself when putting it in right?

[deep sapphire]

were these in the case

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eGHclyZdL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

[latent grotto]

wait hank

are you implying

[deep sapphire]

yes I am

[latent grotto]

[deep sapphire]

and for some reason not every case already has them screwed in

[modest moss]

I built a pc without mobo risers many years ago

I was lucky, all it did was a reboot loop and didn't fry anything

[deep sapphire]

these work as a ground, so its very easy to fuck your PC up haha

this is how I fried that CPU fan controller

I was a dumb kid

[modest moss]

I kinda suspect the gpu might not be fully seated, you sometimes have to push scarily hard

[snow cypress]

So i powered it on and the gpu fans did start spinning before stopping

[deep sapphire]

well that means your system is likely booting properly

if it wasnt the fans would keep spinning

are you seeing the HDD activity light blinking

[latent grotto]

sure would be nice if we had a mobo with boot codes

[wide hill]

it is a new gpu right?

[snow cypress]

The what lights?

[deep sapphire]

this could easily just be the cable is bad/not inserted or the monitor did automatically detect the signal and needs to be manually set

[latent grotto]

same gpu that came with their prebuilt

[deep sapphire]

the ||| icon on the front of the PC

assuming you put the case headers in

the little connectors that go in bottom right corner of the board

[latent grotto]

hank this implies their case has a hdd indicator

[deep sapphire]

why wouldnt it

[wide hill]

budget

[deep sapphire]

imagine buying a case that doesnt even come with a drive indicator light

[snow cypress]

These?

[deep sapphire]

my 1996 packard bell had one

no

https://pcguide101.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/power-switch-motherboard-front-panel-header-450x257.jpeg

these

[snow cypress]

Nope dont see those

[deep sapphire]

what is your mobo

it has to

or you wouldnt even have a power button

or any front IO

[snow cypress]

Oh that

[deep sapphire]

the bottom one

HDD LED

did you plug that one in

[snow cypress]

Yup

[deep sapphire]

so you dont see any blinking light on the front of your PC?

the only time it doesnt blink is if its off or your system hard crashed (or it didnt post)

[deep sapphire]

thats the power button LED

what is your case

[latent grotto]

what case did you buy?

does the hdd light turn on even if you don't have a hdd

[deep sapphire]

no

[snow cypress]

Nzxt h510

[modest moss]

that's an odd looking case

[deep sapphire]

but he would still see the BIOS splash screen

[latent grotto]

may want to try a different hdmi port on the gpu or monitor or something

[deep sapphire]

supposedly there is another LED in the center of that

[modest moss]

how many times have you put the gpu in the pcie slot on the mobo? just the initial once?

[deep sapphire]

that works as the HDD LED

[wide hill]

there is only 1 hdmi port he can use on the gpu

[snow cypress]

Yea

[latent grotto]

i'm surprised theres only 1

[modest moss]

you need to take it out, put it back in the pcie x16 slot and make sure it clicks in

[latent grotto]

i'd expect at least 2

[wide hill]

there are 3 displayport ports

[modest moss]

gpu hasn't been reseated yet

[latent grotto]

ah

[modest moss]

this must be the next step

[deep sapphire]

the next step is to bring it to a shop

[latent grotto]

just send it to hank

[modest moss]

Levant is paying

[deep sapphire]

300 dollar DHL repair

[snow cypress]

Tried all 3

[void dove]

if everything is normal, then reseat gpu, reseat ram

[wide hill]

the motherboard hdmi won't work anyway

since you have a 5600x, it has no iGPU

[deep sapphire]

so no HDD light, RAM and GPU were reseated

[modest moss]

seriously though, the gpu could behave like this if it's not fully in the pcie slot

[deep sapphire]

did you look at the stand off screws

[void dove]

also if cpu support video out without gpu, try without gpu first

to make sure everything else works fine before gpu

[deep sapphire]

it doesnt

he has ryzen

[modest moss]

5600x

[void dove]

rip that idea then

is the gpu new?

if so, you may have to update bios

[modest moss]

it's not

[void dove]

if it worked before, then scratch that idea

[latent grotto]

yea lets just reseat it

[snow cypress]

Gotta try and take out the gpu and put back to see if that works

[latent grotto]

it was mentioned earlier but idk why we didn't do it yet

[deep sapphire]

did you reseat your ram too

[void dove]

does the mobo have post codes?

[deep sapphire]

it was mentioned before

[void dove]

error codes/beeps?

[latent grotto]

no

[modest moss]

it's an asus rog prebuilt with a broken power button on the case so he's decided to put it in a different case instead of getting a guy to replace it

[void dove]

that will usually tell you the issue

not even beep codes? wow thats cheap

[deep sapphire]

most boards have a header for a PC speaker

but not all include the speaker itself

[latent grotto]

if it had post codes this convo would be over like 20 minutes ago

[modest moss]

it's this https://www.newegg.com/asus-ga15dk-ds776/p/N82E16883221675

[wide hill]

0 post codes are hell

[void dove]

see, i have an old PC speaker i ripped out of an ancient computer i use for this stuff

[wide hill]

no beep noise, and no number

[void dove]

its literally a tiny speaker on a 5cm cable with a header

plug it in, beep codes, remove when PC fixed,

handy for cheap Pcs

[sly elk]

or leave it plugged in, if you like your computer to beep when it turns on

[void dove]

yeah actually i think i left it plugged in last time

[deep sapphire]

yeah could probably buy one on amazon for 3 bucks

[void dove]

my Mobo will give beeep codes if the fans aren't running on boot

[deep sapphire]

cheap boards usually dont include diagnostic LEDs

im assuming this thing has a B550 ASUS Prime mobo

[void dove]

if you can get ur hands on an old dead office computer, you cna prob rip the speaker out of it

[deep sapphire]

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-B550M-A/

anyways this chat is getting bloated im just going to make a list of things should be attempted

1.) reseat graphics card and monitor display cable
2.) reseat the memory, if still no video signal remove all ram and install 1 ram stick in the first slot (far left) and test
3.) check monitor to see if it could be on the wrong output (DVI instead of Auto/HDMI etc.)

[void dove]

also make sure the mobo power is plugged in properly, including the CPU power cable

[deep sapphire]

if all 3 of those things failed, you either have something else loose in there most likely power cords

or you fried something by not grounding yourself properly

[modest moss]

check for the mobo risers too

[void dove]

without beep codes, literally reseat and re-plug everything

oh yea, are you using a rizer cable?

some are bad for newer PCIe4.0 cards

try plug directly without the rizer if you do have one

[deep sapphire]

in any case, use that list, if it still doesnt work we can provide suggestions but at this point I think you just need to give it to a professional

[modest moss]

honestly didn't need a new case, needed a new power button installed by a pro tech who'd take like 10 mins and charge less than the case probably

[deep sapphire]

I have no comment on any of the stated above lol

[modest moss]

literally cried at this btw

[latent grotto]

rip shue

[modest moss]

am a sensitive soul

much hurt, very tears

[latent grotto]

[deep sapphire]

good

[odd sand]

Now children, play nice! /s

[deep sapphire]

uwu

[modest moss]

booli

is that n64 emulator working for that game?

[deep sapphire]

Seems alright so far

Sound kinda lags a tad but not that annoying

I honestly had no idea project 64 still existed haha thanks for the heads up

I remember looking a couple years ago and 1.6 was still the only one that was free

1.7 you had to donate to get access I think

[modest moss]

it was the top result on google for n64 emulator lol

[deep sapphire]

I don’t really use emulators much but I was watching some paper Mario videos earlier and kinda wanted to play it again lol

[modest moss]

I'm too lazy for emulators

[snow cypress]

Unplugged the gpu and put it back and now I got too this screen

[tall crag]

whoa, so it was not properly sunk on the pci slot

happens to me i have to try like 5 times to put it right

[latent grotto]

thats good

press f1 and just follow the prompts

[snow cypress]

@modest moss @deep sapphire @latent grotto Thanks for the help and tips

[deep sapphire]

np

[snow cypress]

And from now on if I break something just look up a tech expert and take it to them

[modest moss]

pog

don't tell my teen I said pog

they'd get mad

[jaunty light]

So uh @sly elk

Strimer not fabulous for the 4000d

[sly elk]

can you just have it above that cover panel?

[modest moss]

is this more evidence that rgb is a foolish trend that should die?

[hard drift]

yes

[umbral moss]

RGB sells, and it's a markup feature

so it's here to stay unfortunately

people love blingy bullshit

[modest moss]

nice of you to be MIA when your AIO victim was needing help Bidori

[hard drift]

🤷‍♂️ oh well

there's enough people here

i've been helping other people in need

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-on-you-patricia-harlem-be-embarrassed-youre-embarrassing-gif-24064704

[hard drift]

🤷‍♂️

[tall crag]

huh my monitor is not glaring anymore after switching graphics to high

[modest moss]

what fps are you getting?

[tall crag]

45 after killing some settings

[void dove]

the fact that says "the VGA card is not supported by the UEFI driver" tells me you should update the mobo BIOS/UEFI, and probably is why you had so many issues

well and re-seating probably as well 😛

if it works it works, but should update anyway, if bios doesn't support the card, then you can have issues where bios wont appear on certain video outputs

rgbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee overload

[hard drift]

awful....

[modest moss]

not bad, will tank in limsa but should be playable

[tall crag]

whoa buddy what do you do with 2x GPUs

[modest moss]

I'd assume it IS supported by the bios, just needed a settings change, it's an Asus prebuilt lol

[sly elk]

that feeling of a clean keyboard

wait my enter key is wrong

[void dove]

it literally says it isn't supported, dunno what else to tell you

[sly elk]

|

'

[tall crag]

as long as it doesn't crash on dungeons...

[sly elk]

\

there we go

i think I fixed it.

[void dove]

the UEFI driver would be falling back to some generic method to display out during BIOS/UEFI screens

[sly elk]

maybe I should put a clicky switch under my enter key 😄

[void dove]

that doesn't affect the OS thou, so Windows is different

[modest moss]

I am happy to assume Asus don't ship incompatible hardware

[hard drift]

🤨

[void dove]

ahahahahahah, you sweet summer child
you assume wrong
system builders are incompetent as fuck

[sly elk]

the heck?!

maybe the video card isn't getting power?

[hard drift]

you could literally get away with a 3080/ti/3090

[void dove]

my ASUS motherboard, brand new, didn't support my 3070 out of the box

[sly elk]

it should be though, shouldn';t it?

that's strange o_O

[void dove]

i had to bios update it to get it to not show a black screen

[sly elk]

my z390 board had no issue with it

?

what list?

[modest moss]

dude he literally had the asus prebuilt running fine for several months, it just had a broken power button

[hard drift]

your thought process baffles me

yeah you're wanting to waste it

?

[tall crag]

huh idk if other brands do it but my mobo came with a button so you just plug an usb with the new bios and it would load in 10min

[void dove]

only high end boards have that feature

[hard drift]

bios flashback isn't always good from some companies/boards

[modest moss]

no

[hard drift]

not true, my board was 150 and it has it

[tall crag]

hmm it was a msi b550 gaming edge

[void dove]

ok so you've got the cheap version of bios flashback then

which requires the CPU to be supported

[hard drift]

i still wouldn't trust bios flashback

[potent arrow]

Nah qflash is on most boards now

[hard drift]

even on a high end board

[modest moss]

sees stupid name is typing, knows it's Sarah

hi Sarah <3

[potent arrow]

It's because you had a prebuilt with an OEM special that you didn't have it or the prebuilt company used an older revision of motherboard. Which also explains why it didn't support the 3070

Hi shue <3

[void dove]

when Zen 3 cpus came out, BIOSes needed to be updated
some people bought mobos which support zen 3, however ASUS and other vendors, were shipping boards with old BIOSses which didn't support Zen3
and becasue they had the cheaper version of bios flashbaack which needed a working CPU, and well their CPU didn't work
the bios flashback was useless

you only get, full, non-cpu dependent bios flashback on the expensive boards

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

[void dove]

my parts were all bought individually, brand new, 6 months after 30 series came out

for a mobo to not have support for the cards, is stupid

thank god, the Mobo could support the zen 3 CPU i bought

[potent arrow]

You know what forget I even spoke

[potent arrow]

Go back to bed wanker

[void dove]

otherwise i would have had to try and find one, or ask AMD to ship me one to just do teh update

which they can do

just costs shipping, and you need to send it back

[tall crag]

the bios flashback was useless
i can't stop laughing 😂

[void dove]

a APU CPU that is, an older gen which will allow booting

they ship you something like a 2700G

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/sakamata-chloe-vibing-swaying-jamming-grooving-gif-23962717

but it has rgb

[tall crag]

wait please tell me this was for the 400 mobos and not for the 500 ones please

[hard drift]

you couldn't justify that even to me, you're talking there is 0 reason for it even at msrp literally overkill/waste of power

[void dove]

yeah , and i said, that the BIOS message doesn't affect the OS/Windows
i said, that it should be updated because it may cause issues with UEFI/BIOS screens appearing
it is appearing because the UEFI/BIOS is falling back to a generic display method
but likely some of the video out ports, will not work in BIOS because of this
fine if its working, but may not be good if things get relocated again, and use a different video out, and can't see the bios to see what the issue is if it doesn't boot
Additionally, there are a number of BIOS/UEFI security vulnerabilities which have been fixed by a lot of vendors in the last few months, as a bunch of BIOS hacks were exposed a while ago

[void dove]

i believe 400 and 500 were both affected, ill check

yup, both were affected, because 500 series chipsets, like x570, came out in 2019

zen3 was released on 2020, soo support had to be added to bios updates later

[tall crag]

x570 omg i can't 🤣

[void dove]

you should get a mobo with updated bios nowadays, but if you are unlucky, you could get some really old stock which has been sitting in a warehouse for ages

and your fancy new 5600x, wont boot in it

[tall crag]

right, but MSI shipped me a functional flashback 😍

it lacked the sticker on the box saying ready for 5xxx :(

[void dove]

as long as it isn't a cpu-dependent flashback, then yes

[modest moss]

don't @ me again please, you are not somebody I wish to interact with

[void dove]

why, im only stating facts based on my own experience, sorry if you took that as me patronising you, it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

[tall crag]

hey they are both salty and loaded with msg

[void dove]

apparently i can't be fun and serious in a single message because it maybe misinterpreted

[modest moss]

#technology-discussion message is patronising af, I don't fucking know you to have you speak to me like that

[tall crag]

NA or whoever was it already ruined sushi with cream cheese anyways

[potent arrow]

https://c.tenor.com/RMRhGmcivVUAAAAM/frustrated-ugh.gif

[hard drift]

😔 i love sushi and don't mind these but there's for sure better ones without cream cheese

[tall crag]

yeah well cream cheese is delicious and sushi doesn't fill me anyways but still

[void dove]

mmm salty

want me some sushi actually

lol, 3090 is just for the ppl with too much money and little sense

or people who do 3d graphics, because vram

[jaunty light]

there's unfortunately nowhere for the cable to go in that case

[void dove]

and in today's news, inexperienced PC builder, buys cooler too tall for his case, so he bends it to fit

[umbral moss]

big brain strategy

[void dove]

yuup, person is a friend of a friend

he's such an idiot sometimes

i have that same cooler and told him he should have checked the measurements when he bought it

he didn't of course

because that cooler is absolutely massive, doesn't fit a lot of cases

[tall crag]

that cooler looks like it costs 3 times the case

it couldn't possibly be an nh d15...

[void dove]

yes it is, yeah that case looks like something cheap

[sly elk]

there's another trick you can do 😄

but it may require more cable than you have

or get another cable extension

so that you have the fancy cable extension going almost straight out, and then the other one behind it coming back around

[sly elk]

oh god how'd i miss that

[void dove]

lol, yeah its horrible, but he said it works fine

[sly elk]

it's a fan taco!

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[uneven pier]

As long as the heat pipes aren't damaged it'll function fine

Well
Probably should stick another fan on the other section

[void dove]

depending on which you buy, it does come with a 2nd fan

mine did, i guess he got the slightly cheaper one

[jaunty light]

I can take out the cover but seems a bit naked and weird wo

[sly elk]

nah I mean

like that

just run your regular cable behind the strimer cable

tricky part is holding it up >>

thta, or take a dremel to the panel hahaha

wish I had something there to hold the free end up

if only I had a 3d printer 😄

I have no idea how I'm going to run the gpu cable

also the 'naked' part of the gpu cable is a lot longer

[deft sphinx]

so I can’t wait but save the moeny and buy a new high end pc, what I have now is shit 750 ti + FX-8320 >.> so what ai though I will do is get the basic of the basic, I will wait for the i3 12 gen from intel to see the price of the CPU and MB them just buy some ddr4 16 gb of ram and an case and that’s all oh an gtx 1650 cuz moeny :/ , I can still get an SSD that can still be used once I have truly enough moeny for an huge upgrade, that will be able to also stream and tho the whole 3d vtuber stick that I wanna really try, untill then i will just learn 3d modeling with that pc that won’t be so bad for an total 3d beginner like me XD and ofc play FFXIV

[jaunty light]

[odd sand]

If you want a Hyper212Evo, I have an extra from a similar misjudgment (too tall for my server horizontal profile case by like 10mm)

Assuming that case can fit the height of the 212 even heh. I think it's 135mm but I'd have to look

[void dove]

ahh hyper 212, oldie but a goodie, i used to run one on my old PC, had that cooler for like 12 years or something insane

because i was able to re-use it from an older PC

had it since the Core2 Quad days

[odd sand]

They've continued to update it slightly as the years have gone on but yeah, if it aint broke dont fix it

The one I have came with 2 fans for the push/pull

[void dove]

yeah definitely, its just good

though i wouldn't run it for a high TDP CPU nowadays

just not good enough

but for midrange, its perfect

[odd sand]

It's fine for anything thru like Core i5 or 5600X

Obviously not 12900 heh

[void dove]

was nice of intel back in the day, to use the same mounting layout for newer CPUs 😄

[odd sand]

Speaking of 12900: That 12900KS pre-binned for 5.5ghz turbo is a spicy meatball

The Thermaltake Blue Orb is still my fav cooler design

[void dove]

so i went from a core2 quad q9300, which was a LGA775 socket, to a i7-3770, which was a LGA1155, and the 212 supported it because of same layout, though i think i had to change the backets to one of the others that came in the box,

personally im still a bit wary of the 12series Intels, becasue its new architecture and that usually has issues for a couple years until the rest of the industry adapts

similar to when skylake and then Zen1 came out, all new archs have issues

then agian like 90% of ppl dont see those issues, but im a power user, if its gonna have problems it will probably affect me in some way

[umbral moss]

including the 450W TDP to run it

silicon doesn't like to run that fast

[void dove]

oh yeah. that, biiig OOF on the power draw

[dreamy chasm]

12900k does have the performance to match it

at least

but

[void dove]

they maybe doing well in performance, but damn, is efficiency thrown out the window at the high-end

[dreamy chasm]

"high performance" these days involves needing to turn your room into a fridge if you want it to not be hot as shot

[umbral moss]

that's because switching frequency is the dying gasp of an architecture

[void dove]

im more than happy with my 5900X, so no buyers remorse

[umbral moss]

silicon's switching losses become untenable above 5GHz without exotic cooling

intel ran into this problem with the netburst uarch too, they thought they could bring prescott up to 7GHz

until physics was like "nah"

[void dove]

now, im hoping the high TDP, is because its the first iteration of the new architecture, and that 13 or 14th gen, will improve efficiencies

[umbral moss]

nah

the only way you're getting TDP improvements is with a new node and a new uarch

[void dove]

there was talk a while back about new type of interconnects which would help with switching

but that takes many years to actually be usable

[umbral moss]

450W is inevitable when you want to run so many tiny transistors at such a high clockspeed

[void dove]

can't recall how long they'd been working on it

[umbral moss]

the switching losses are to the fourth power of frequency

absolutely bonkers

[void dove]

and a new process is needed if we wanna push further in terms of transistor density and power

[jaunty light]

my 1300w PSU is ready to run (1) whole CPU of 2023 at 50% power

[umbral moss]

probably similar

[dreamy chasm]

we'll see

[umbral moss]

they have similar transistor counts and even with a node advantage it's still a dumb amount of heat being generated

silicon doesn't like to run so high

[void dove]

ah yes, its the copper
copper interconnects started hitting limits back in 20mn chips, and we've kinda pushed them to breaking point
they are looking at new generation interconnect technologies to get us to 2nm and below with them being reliable

https://semiengineering.com/breaking-the-2nm-barrier/ nerdy article on it

[umbral moss]

I mean, also consider that at some point you're switching to some other weird regime like spintronics

when your transistors are just one silicon atom

[void dove]

and thats without TAU, i think, didn't it hit 400+ at one point?

or do Alder lake not have TAU, i can't remember

eh, doesn't matter, still double

[deft sphinx]

will an i5-10400f be enough with an 2060 gpu + 16 gb ram for an two pc in one case streaming?? the other pc I will have to save moeny before I can even think of buying it

[dreamy chasm]

yes

[deep sapphire]

no

[jaunty light]

Maybe

[dreamy chasm]

depends on the games

[deft sphinx]

but this will be the best case scenario instead of buying an cheep i3 and what not and then thrwo it away after a year

[deep sapphire]

no

[deft sphinx]

it will be an two pc in one case, the i5 and the 2060 will not play games but just stream

I juat wanna get this part now and the second one once I have more moeny

[dreamy chasm]

you dont need a 2060 to encode if you're using it as a secondary system

[deft sphinx]

from what ai know people that use either two pc or two pc in one case, use the weak streaming pc to juat be the streaming pc, the other pc will be the games that play, I don’t know yest how the first pc captures the gameplay on the second on so that way you won’t have to worry the game interfearing with the streaming and vice versa

this is what I know about using such an sistem

I just don’t wanna waste moeny if I were to buy something now and not use it in 2 years

[odd sand]

They make dedicated capture cards still and external capture dongles as well

[deft sphinx]

or I migh just do that if the two pc in one case doesn’t work

[odd sand]

Yeah but they weren't trying to capture playing 4K 120fps ;)

IMHO I always try to have at least 100fps regardless of resolution. Would rather 1080p @ 120 than 4K @ 60

[deft sphinx]

thing is if the game crushes it can take the whole stream, with two pc using for streaming the stream can still go on or so I heard as an advantage

ugh any way I guess we advance that far

still such an set up won’t be good for streaming much any way

[jaunty light]

@sly elk may honestly just build the o11 with how much cables are in the rear now tbh. vertical holder or something for GPU, then I can be that much closer to saying burn money and doing a loop too

[sly elk]

i wonder if the o11 has a hole for that cable specifically

i don't think I'm going to get rid of my ridiculous case any time soon

[void dove]

you probably need to get partnered or something to be able to use 4k

i doubt they would just let you straight away

id assume the same goes for twitch

[vestal crane]

Why are you even trying to stream in 4k?

[pine kettle]

There's really no need for 4k streaming

[dreamy chasm]

nobody's going to watch your stream if you're doing 4k native with no downscaling on your platform, either way

i.e twitch unpartnered

[pine kettle]

^ without partner yeah, it kinda sucks that it's not an option :(

[dreamy chasm]

there's like

5 people on earth that care about 4k live streams

[pine kettle]

xD

[void dove]

the difference in cost, in terms of bandwidth, re-encoding to lower qualities, etc
is not worth letting ppl do it for free

[pine kettle]

Oh yeah I see why they don't ^.^

[void dove]

well hey there lala

oh spawn of satan

[dreamy chasm]

id watch if i wasnt on data

[odd sand]

Majority stream in 1080p60

[jaunty light]

u gotta be cool

936p

[sly elk]

get out an oldshcool monitor

stream in 1600x1400

[void dove]

where's my 768p

for my monitor from 1996

[sly elk]

1600x1200*

1280x768? 😄

That was a good 17"

[void dove]

you think we had widescreen in 1996?

1024x768 😄

[sly elk]

oh right

was thinking of 1280x1024

most 17" only did 1024x768

[void dove]

think i had a CRT that ran at that rez actually

[sly elk]

and that was a nice improvement over 800x600

I had a crappy ctx at one point that mostly wanted to do 640x480 I think 75hz

it'd do 800x600 at like 50hz

ye gods that was awful

[void dove]

my 2nd laptop was 1280x800, then my first monitor was a 19 inch, 1440x900

[sly elk]

i meant to scan a picture of my old beige rig

[void dove]

actually that monitor, i only just got rid of it, its prob 12 years old

[sly elk]

but the picture got shuffled away before I could get to it haha

[void dove]

haha, same

i have an old pic of our old win XP computer

when it finally died

but not our original Pentium 1

beige box champ

i do have the specs list somewhere though

with hand written notes, from the computer shop we bought it from

and i still have the hard drive

its a 4GB hard drive

and still works, last i tested it

[sly elk]

here we go

there is a lot of retro in that pic haha

and yet none of it looks as old as it is

[void dove]

old school i liek

[sly elk]

the 3 towers on the right

[void dove]

ok found the specs list

[sly elk]

i think one was a celeron 900, one was a p166mmx, the other was .. shit I dunno, a 166mhz pentium non mmx i think

[void dove]

id post it, but it has personally identifiable stuff on it 😦

[sly elk]

i paitned it silver/black to make it look modern

the g4 was like a year old >> thing was a spaceship

it's really hilarious, that

[void dove]

PC was a Pentium MMX, 233Mhz
32MB EDO RAM
4GB IBM HDD
4MB S3 VIRGE 3d graphics card

[sly elk]

that 17" beige monitor next to the lava lamp

i got that maybe 2 years before the LCD screen on the left

[void dove]

15 inch xga crt

[sly elk]

that's how fast tech changed back then

[void dove]

xga is 1024x768, lol, thats teh one

[sly elk]

technically the 22" cinema display existed around the time I got the beige monitor 😄

but it was a $5000 monitor

[void dove]

wow, our whole setup also came wiht a bunch of software and games

[sly elk]

when I got mine 2 years later it had drastically come down in price to $2500

which was still a lot X_X

[void dove]

and was 3300$

[sly elk]

LUCKY

were the games good?

[void dove]

they were OK

we still have some of the CDs somewhere

mostly collections, like 10 games in one

[sly elk]

i liked ms' madness games

[void dove]

or educational stuff

yeah

we did have Fury3 and MS golf

those were fun

[sly elk]

hehe when computers sold at stores came with tons of stuff and a few games

and an encyclopedia on a cd

[void dove]

later on we got the computer updated to Windows 98, and started buying games ourselves with money we earned doing chores

[sly elk]

and usually shitty offiec sofwtare like ms works

[void dove]

ah, lol, the spec sheet, is just a webpage printout, so it has the date on it
from november 1997

found the hard drive 😄

4gb of glorious space

too bad the old drives dont have manufacturing dates on them

[void dove]

oh yes, forgot about that, ours did get bundled with Encarta 98 😄
i used that soooo much for school projects

and then dad got a dodgy copy of Encyclopedia Britannica i think it was called? from some other computer store

he also got a printer and scanner, not fucking cheap

the printer was 350$, scanner was 250$

which is insane because we didn't have a lot of money back then

but he mainly bought all of it for the kids, so he went all in

[odd sand]

Could be the 9810 number along the bottom. OCT98 sounds like a date 4GB drives would have still been made.

Also wtf do you still have that drive lying around lol

[keen hearth]

Can I use this channel for asking for help with some issues that I’m having with my game? I know this channel is non final fantasy related and all that

[void dove]

lol, it doesn't take much room, soo ive just not thrown it away

maybe i should donate it to some tech museum, it still works last i checked

[void dove]

go ahead, it doesn't say you can't do ff14 related tech questions 🙂

they sometimes direct ppl here with game tech issues anyway

[odd sand]

I remember I got a 6.4gb drive around that time and was like wow I'll never fill this! ... And proceeded to fill it via filesharing in like 2 weeks after a couple ppl gave me generous access to a bunch of anime at the time

[keen hearth]

My game keeps crashing, or is running extremely choppy and slow and I’m not sure why. The issues started after I updated to endwalker, or at least in the last couple of days. Which is when I installed endwalker

My audio will cut out randomly (most likely due to the game being insanely slow) the game will slow down and lag, my emotes will lag and take 5-10 seconds to happen, other people and npcs take a long time to appear in cities etc. I’ve had times where I’ve gotten stuck outside an area, because its taking so long to render. right now I’m stuck in New Gridania because my camera is stuck under the ground and I’m unable to act.

I can still use the chat and minimap but it almost feels like the game is being throttled extremely hard. I’ve had a couple of dx11 crashes in the past, but didn’t think much of them.

My pc has blue screened once; My whole pc ends up slowing down because of the game struggling to run is probably also a detail to mention.

I’ve tried repairing the patch, capping the fps to 90, changing some settings around in nvidia control panel, updating windows, updating my GPU drivers and disabling full screen optimisations. And I uninstalled gshade for good measure, issues are still occurring.

I’m currently doing a clean install of the game, but if it doesn’t fix the problems, any ideas? Or has anyone experienced anything similar?

Apologies for the long message ^

[void dove]

hmm, ive heard of audio stuttering issues

but not something along the lines of what you are saying

it sounds like a potential issue with the graphics card but hard to say

can you play other games without issues?

[keen hearth]

I actually thought it was my headset at first, but I realised that Spotify will also cut out for a couple of seconds, so it seems more of a pc issue.

I actually need to check that, I’ve been playing nothing bur final fantasy 14 for last month or so 😅

[void dove]

also, you say the game is choppy and slow, but you tried capping the fps
what IS the game actually running at, fps wise
you can see the FPS counter in the system config screen i think

yeah top right of the system config screen

[keen hearth]

Once my game reinstalls, I’ll send a pic of what im seeing, im kinda just stuck in the ground and can’t move, but if I open the minimap, I can see my icon moving around the city.

Well my game was running at 85-90 fps in cities when the frame rate was uncapped. Outside of the cities, im not too sure. But I had it set to 144 max and never had many issues with frame drop in any areas except cities

I have a 2080 super and Ryzen 5 3600x and my built is quite new, only about a year and a bit old. so shouldn’t have any issues at all. Also never had any issues with any game except this one, and Warzone, but I just chalked that up to Warzone

[void dove]

ok yeah certainly a strange one there

so if im understanding correctly, the camera is stuck, but it sounds like the character can still move

[keen hearth]

Temps are all good as well, was thinking maybe a part kicked the bucket. But I actually finished dusting out my pc last week and it’s running about 5-10 degrees cooler

Yep, basically that; it’s incredibly strange, again I’ll get a pic when the game reinstalls

I don’t know how else to describe it other than my camera is stuck facing the ground

And I can’t do anything

[void dove]

there is a hotkey to reset the camera position

not sure if ive changed mine to a different keybind

but its the End key on mine

you cna check under keybinds > Movement, they are near the bottom of the list

Home also toggles 1st person mode, maybe worth a try to see if you can see where ur char is

[wide terrace]

If spotify also cuts out, it’s unlikely that it’s your GPU

[void dove]

ctrl+shift+end, resets camera to default

[keen hearth]

Hmm, might try and see if that changes anything. Game will take a while to install since my internet isn’t the fastest

Also want to add these issues only happen when ffxiv is open, when it’s closed, everything is ok iirc

[void dove]

id also be interested in seeing the CPU and GPU load while its happening
task manager > performance tab

CPU is easy, GPU is a bit lower down usually, assuming your on windows 10

[keen hearth]

I’ll take a look at that too, when I tab out to ask manager, CPU was at about 60% load of I remember correctly, not sure about GPU

But my GPU should in no way be struggling whatsoever

[void dove]

rememer that by default, it will reduce gpu load when ur tabbed out

limit fps when client is inactive

will do that

i have also seen that setting bug out

and reverse the behaviour

so you could try turning it off

though id advise restarting the game when doing that

[keen hearth]

I’ll try that too

[void dove]

if this is caused by some broken game setting, then reinstalling the game wont help, as i believe it doesn't delete your settings

you could also try wiping settings to see if its that

all local settings are in C:\Users<username>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn

this includes character data, like hotbars and macros

[keen hearth]

Was wanting to rule out any issues with the install, doesn’t really affect me since I’m working most of today so just doing it in the background.

Hmm, yeah I might try that, I’ve exported my UI, I can import that back in right?

[void dove]

though you could try just deleting the FFXIV.cfg file in that directory, it looks like that has all the system settings in it, which are most likely to be the issue

[void dove]

yeah id think you could reimport

take a copy of the folder first

then you can just put it back after

[keen hearth]

Thanks for the help, will try all the above advice and fixes when it reinstalls and let you know if anything helps, and I’ll also try to grab a pick of my screen when I log in facing the ground

[void dove]

np

[keen hearth]

Either way, it’s incredibly peculiar

Never seen anything like it

[void dove]

ah, something thats come to mind, with the camera anyway, if you have a controller plugged in, or some kind of virtual controller device, disable it, could be causing the camera to keep pushing in one direction

doesn't explain the performance issues thou

[keen hearth]

Nah, no virtual controller and no controller, only mouse and keyboard

[bitter tendon]

I just got a new computer and I want to start playing ffxiv again. On my old computer, I have the free trial downloaded, but since the servers are full I cannot download the free trial on my new computer. The game files are too big for me to transfer via a flashdrive but would I be able to transfer the installer and if so what files would I have to transfer?

[sharp star]

Yeah you can transfer the installer and the client

Just transfer both

[vestal crane]

!faq download

[opal panther]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[vestal crane]

Does this not work?

[sharp star]

Nah that works

Probably won’t hurt to ask if someone has the exe of the free trial client

idk

[bitter tendon]

When I tried doing that I was asked to put in a game coade

code*

[sharp star]

Yeah that’s the full game client

What you want is the free trial client

[bitter tendon]

Yeah

[sharp star]

If you have the exe for the free trial client then copy it

Yeah it’s not gonna let you

download

[vestal crane]

Wow they really don't want free trial players playing

[sharp star]

So the only way is to ask someone who has the free trial exe

Keep circulating the tapes, etc.

[bitter tendon]

Oh so since I have already downloaded it I shouldn't have the .exe file?

[sharp star]

No the exe downloads the free trial client

[vestal crane]

You need the installer not the client

[sharp star]

right that’s what I mean

You need the free trial installer which you… have to ask around for.

[vestal crane]

You could try linking both computers with an ethernet cable and transferring it that way

[sharp star]

Actually

Gimme a sec. I might have it somewhere.

Wait holy shit lmao

I was able to download the free trial client from Amazon JP. It was from that free trial thing they did in JP when they updated it

It’s likely the global client but I’ll double-check

[bitter tendon]

ayo

[sharp star]

Yes it’s the global free trial client installer

I think I might’ve saved your ass but I gotta make sure it’s good with the mods

[bitter tendon]

yeah

how do i make sure?

[sharp star]

It prompted me to select a language between NA EN, EU EN, FR, DE, and JP

It defaulted to NA EN

So yeah it’s the global client installer

[bitter tendon]

how do i find it thru amazon jp

[sharp star]

You need to have downloaded it prior.

[bitter tendon]

so search for it on my old computer>

[sharp star]

Nah they don’t let you register it to an Amazon Japan account since they cut off the free trial access. But once it’s there it’s downloadable

I managed to register it to my account on like… August 13 of 2020

So it likely got cut off when they went nuclear

[bitter tendon]

Oh got it

[sharp star]

@vestal crane this should be fine right? nothing rule-breaking and all

[vestal crane]

You're all good

[sharp star]

Alright I’ll send the client installer

Lemme know if you run into any problems with the installer

[potent arrow]

!Faq quicklauncher

That should work too

!faq quicklauncher

[opal panther]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[sharp star]

that doesn't unless they have the actual client installed

[potent arrow]

It should, shouldn't it?

I've never installed the actual client

I thought it handles game file downloads, as well as use pre-existing ones

[keen hearth]

Ok so, I may have found the problem, if anyone read my above post about ffxiv destroying my pc

When I load up the game, my HDD jumps to 100%

close it, goes back to normal

[modest moss]

have you tried doing an integrity check with the alternative launcher?

[keen hearth]

Nope, not tried that yet

[modest moss]

couldn't hurt

[lost python]

That's like completely normal though? It's loading game files and especially an old ass HDD will be under strong load.
Do you only have an HDD?

[umbral moss]

I'd be concerned if it's 100% load the entire time XIV is running

that's like denuvo-style drive wear

[lost python]

An older heavily fragmented HDD could do that especially in towns due to having to constantly load stuff

[keen hearth]

So, it doesnt spike to 100% to just load things, it sticks there and eventually buckles under the weight of itself, windows has crashed before due to it, no sound, entire pc is sluggish. HDD is only about a a year and a half old. Entire rig is quite new

[lost python]

Does it happen with any other game or just xiv? Have you tried moving xiv to your C drive?

[keen hearth]

Just xiv

gonna move it to my small ssd

see if it fixes it

will let you know

[teal fable]

rgb looks fun, i thought

[lost python]

Looks like my patchroom at work

[umbral moss]

IT closets are the worst

[odd sand]

IT closets are like your closet or under the bed as a kid: Shove it under there and forget about it

[lost python]

And just like with the bed it looks good on one side and the other, in that case below the bed, is chaos.

[potent arrow]

Is that you lmfao

[sly elk]

RGB is fine

I mean most good cases have a good amount of space behind the wall the motherboard hangs on

that's where you put all your wiring. a few bits of velcro and some double sided tape and you're good to go.

[teal fable]

yah having a true battle

[sly elk]

42lbs

and it looks like it has no good place to pick it up by

that's always fun

lol

-looks at his giant case- I understand the feeling

when I buy a new computer part where i need to move it to a table to install the part or whatever

it's like "SWEET IT ARRIVED!" -2 hours later- "ugh I gotta move this thing again"

[potent arrow]

My sff case is the best for moving

[sly elk]

yep

[potent arrow]

One handed lil box

[sly elk]

can'

can't argue that

I look at those tiny things with envy sometimes xD

but the giant fish tank is fun to look at

I dunno that's what I find amusing abou them

I've seen sff builds that had everything my comp had

probably more

[potent arrow]

I mean my case can have a glass sidepanel

[sly elk]

ey but then you wanna upgrade something

[potent arrow]

But I chose not too

[sly elk]

and hvae to tear the whole computer apart

the o11d mini is NOT sff

[potent arrow]

Upgrading in a sff is no sweat unless you want to change the Mobo

[sly elk]

oh ok

yeeeaaah

I think the o11d is hard to argue against

I still can't bring myself to buy one lol

[potent arrow]

Not mine but @sly elk

[sly elk]

yea

lol

[potent arrow]

Maybe when I settle and own property I'll go full size

I really badly need blow out the dust on my pc

Something about my CPU being at 98 and gpu at 101 ish is not goof

[modest moss]

are you levant in disguise?

[potent arrow]

I'm busy working xD

[pale knoll]

hello, i just now downloaded the game for pc, been palying on ps4. it doesnt recognize my shoulder buttons. is that a common problem?

i connected my ps4 controller to my pc. i can play other games without a problem

[latent grotto]

try recalibrating

[modest moss]

if it continues to be a dickhead, use steam controller support bit

[latent grotto]

it did something similar to me where it didn't have my touchpad assigned to any command for some reason

[modest moss]

when I used DS4 I had to use steam to get rumble to work

added XIV as non-steam game

[pale knoll]

it worked, thanks guys!

first time seeing this, what's a 10105

[modest moss]

google says it's either ddos or simply server load is too high and keep trying, sounds like it's not a you problem

[hard drift]

according to SE mods on forums for 10105

[latent grotto]

i wouldn't be concerned about it unless it happens frequently

sometimes the game connection just drops

[modest moss]

unlikely they need to change any port forwarding considering they're a regular player

[hard drift]

yeah 🤷‍♂️ i'm just relaying what SE says though just incase they did anything

[modest moss]

I got the impression they were curious rather than needing actual help, but I'm not always right

[hard drift]

never know when people come here 😔

[deep sapphire]

Thx bb

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/447557-Audio-popping-issue?p=5797835&viewfull=1#post5797835

SE have found the audio issue apparently

so no point people trying to fix it themselves, just wait for an FFXIV update

@deep sapphire babe, can you pin things?

[deep sapphire]

I gotchu

[modest moss]

stud

[lethal dune]

These two images, have been making my brain hurt for the past two hours

Please help, I try everything

I dont know the fuck is going on

Yup

this thing is making my head hurt

I dont know wtf is going?????

jhgdsbjhgferdsbgf

but the fact it keeps saying I dont have enough space is making me malding due to I can see there's plenty of fucking space

sigh

Looks like me have to re-download the game

This is what I saw in Inventory X

[latent grotto]

Its probably some weird apple thinks more storage is being used than there actually is

Which I've seen on iPhones occasionally

[lethal dune]

All I want is to play the game 😭

I need to go and do blind raiding on Saturday Night

Please help, I'm actually at my ends limit

now I need to find where the heck you download the client thing for mac cause I forgot where it is

[latent grotto]

My guess would be try deleting cache and rebooting into safe mode to see if that gets the storage to show correctly 🤷

or just get a windows

[modest moss]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/mac/download/

google is your friend

[latent grotto]

insert "But it just works" meme here

[lethal dune]

:_____;

I am so fucking done

[modest moss]

I'd be surprised if a simple reinstall works anyway, it's going to throw an error until you resolve the free space reported

[lethal dune]

All I want is to play the game

[latent grotto]

What if we just unplugged the power cord assuming its not a laptop

[lethal dune]

I had to delete everything from my FFXIV File due to storage stuff

[lethal dune]

I play on a Macbook Pro

[modest moss]

this is what you get for playing on cactuar

[lethal dune]

This Macbook is barely fcking two years old

and its having Grandpa problems

[lethal dune]

[latent grotto]

But yea try clearing cache and boot into safe mode

[modest moss]

you would be best off finding a mac support discord or forum rather than an ffxiv one I think

[lethal dune]

gotta do it once I download the game client btw

[latent grotto]

Thats what we did when I worked as an apple contractor a few years back

[modest moss]

that looks like an OS issue and not an FFXIV one

[lethal dune]

wut

[latent grotto]

or we could just wipe the entire drive

Delete mac

The m1 macs look good

Price is a bit high but I suppose it's what you pay to work in that ecosystem and apps

[dreamy chasm]

they've got great power efficiency

only issue is that it's apple

[latent grotto]

Inb4 they included a little update that throttles the system to "improve battery life" by making it run like a snail

[lethal dune]

Its not fucking funny what I have with this problem

[latent grotto]

Big sur

Ngl the name always gets me

[lethal dune]

How do you reboot Mac again?

I remember it's Command R?

[modest moss]

looks like it's some bullshit about time machine snapshots and purgeable data

[latent grotto]

Real talk tho. Why'd you get a laptop with 64GB of ram

ik I did the same thing with my pc so dont @ me

[modest moss]

idk if this is safe or will work

but

Open Terminal, paste the following command, and type your password at the prompt:

sudo mdutil -E /

and then reboot

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8226607

says it'll reindex the drive

[lethal dune]

It's a gift from my parents

[modest moss]

ask your parents why they hate you and didn't buy you a windows machine

[lethal dune]

It's for video editing

[latent grotto]

This is what I found about it? https://superuser.com/questions/967071/understanding-mac-os-x-indexing-using-mdutil-e-i-off

[lethal dune]

I got this thing at 3k
