i mean your CPU has a integrated GPU tho
so it is most definitely your drivers if you hadn't changed anything else
i actually had to reset windows fully 2 days ago because my user account locked me out somehow lmao
like it literally got corrupted and idk why
formal sierra
I’ll probably have to. Fuck
you'll be fine. if you do actually have to reset windows to fix the issue though, you could probably connect your storage media to one of your other devices and get the data
i doubt its that serious tbh, my GPU always has issues like this
its panic-worthy in the moment tho lmao
blissful pilot
My biggest thing too, is I just hope the error is fixed once my PC is running well and what not
formal sierra
Blitz3D was too powerful i'm sorry
you came too close to making true intelligence
and they went: wait, this is the wrong century shut it off
oak dirge
i actually had to reset windows fully 2 days ago because my user account locked ...
FYI windows resets fuck windows even more never reset always usb reinstall
blissful pilot
FYI windows resets fuck windows even more never reset always usb reinstall
That’s likely what I’ll do
oak dirge
And you likely could've fixed your user without a reinstall and 100% could've saved user data if needed
blissful pilot
I just don’t know what to do about the storage devices
It’s been a while since I’ve done it

i tried 😭
do you have an SSD
blissful pilot
It’s been a while since I’ve done it
I’ll have to refresh my memory
blissful pilot
do you have an SSD
Two SSDs and a HDD
oak dirge
I just don’t know what to do about the storage devices
C drive partition should be isolated from everything else.
blissful pilot
What’s the best way to install video drivers too?
formal sierra
But ddu is better option
thats smart
blissful pilot
I thought the Nvidia App was “good enough” but maybe not
formal sierra
can't you also go into safe mode and install the drivers?
oak dirge
And dxdiag would reflect bugged feature set
formal sierra
i've never actually had any issues with display drivers, just ethernet for some reason
oak dirge
What’s the best way to install video drivers too?
Nvidia app
The manual package install is the same
blissful pilot
Ah
formal sierra
dudeee Stacher7 is so fucking awesome
you can just paste in a link (Soundcloud, YouTube) and it'll download in any format you want 
i've had it for a while but i didn't know it could do more than JUST YouTube
blissful pilot
Neat I’ll check it out
…well, when my PC is back up in running
Actually, once I reinstall windows. But before I install drivers, I’m gonna send the .exe file and stuff here
Because more than anything, I’m curious how BlitzMovie works with RTX
I wish I sent them before my PC shit the bed
At the very least, I’m happy Vain Brain was able to help me getting working
My long nights of useless work might be over soon
And I get to move on to the real meat of the project
formal sierra
formal sierra
…well, when my PC is back up in running
:P
so you're gonna reinstall windows?
thats gonna be a painful process
i hate reconfiguring everything
im so happy i was able to get everything from my Pictures, Downloads, etc tho
by the way, i'm currently trying to remaster/source all the sounds i can from CB, and make them .wav
some Kevin Macleod songs are uncompressed .wav files (with a small fee, but thats all fine and dandy), but others are just plain old .mp3 files and theres no way to get the uncompressed versions unfortunately
god i don't know why i find the old 096 Wine so unnerving to listen to
i wonder where FireFox found the SFX for these lmao
like damn dude i think thats enough fucking Taco Bell for one night
formal sierra
some Kevin Macleod songs are uncompressed .wav files (with a small fee, but that...
this is why this sucks balls
obviously its not all about the size, but you can definitely hear the lost detail
idk if im allowed to send it here (should since they are CC BY-SA, still just in case), but anyone wants to hear the quality difference i can send it in DMs
formal sierra
those two were from Incompetech, but the game has an even lower size and quality 
idk maybe i just have sensitive ears but the depth is definitely lost
blissful pilot
so you're gonna reinstall windows?
If I have to, whatever is necessary to get things back up and running; granted even if it works without doing that, how would the 3D window error get fixed? Reinstalling windows and the drivers may not be a terrible idea
formal sierra
surprisingly, though, the .mp3 and .ogg sound mostly the same with mp3 sounding slightly better
blissful pilot
If I have to, whatever is necessary to get things back up and running; granted e...
I’m not sure what’s the best course of action, but I’ll figure that one out shortly
formal sierra
yeah, personally i'd just start taking/switching out your pieces of hardware
blissful pilot
some Kevin Macleod songs are uncompressed .wav files (with a small fee, but that...
I could take a look
I might be able to find a few
formal sierra
definitely try the GPU it could be the drivers
formal sierra
I might be able to find a few
wdym?
blissful pilot
Well like sourcing higher quality ones
Kevin Macleod has been around for a while, they’re likely somewhere
Or at least gather more info on where they could’ve been or gone
Remember though, I’m pretty sure Blitz3D can only take .ogg
formal sierra
oh i doubt you could, considering i've been taking the songs from Incompetech (Kevin Macleod's official website) and each song description has a link to the uncompressed album (if it does exist)
formal sierra
Remember though, I’m pretty sure Blitz3D can only take .ogg
yeah it can only take .ogg but i'll convert it so its alr
like see for example
formal sierra
why lmao
blissful pilot
Idk, retail, lack of food and slee
Also, I think I hate my day job 10x more now, I didn’t think that was possible
Turns out im the only one there that hates Nintendo and the switch 2
Everyone is trying to get their hands on it, coworkers and customers, I sold 5 and we are sold out as a store
formal sierra
bruh
blissful pilot
Being the only one that actually sees through their bullshit is depressing
formal sierra
the switch 2 is not that good 😭
blissful pilot
Everyone just chalks me up as “a hater for no reason” or because I’m evil and do emulation
north topaz
the switch 2 is not that good 😭
Shhh, don’t let the fanboys hear that
blissful pilot
Blasphemy! The truth!
formal sierra
my lord Nintendo could do no wrong
blissful pilot
Nintendo has the strap-on equipped!
north topaz
Totally doesn’t come with a 4 year old chip and has an OS that takes up most the memory making it have only 1GB more than a Series S in real gaming 
formal sierra
that poor 4 year old Dorito 😭
north topaz
Also, if you check the resolution games like Cyberpunk and Hogwarts legacy are running at, it runs lower than a PS4 and only looks nice because of DLSS
formal sierra
its crazy how they can just get away with it because most don't do their research
north topaz
no its okay since its Nintendo
Nah it’s ok because handheld according to fanboys who will also say it’s more powerful than a Series S when DLSS looks sharper
Even if it runs at half the resolution
formal sierra
i mean ngl i feel like people who buy Nintendo products to play Cyberpunk deserve it
being so uneducated in products you purchase should be a crime
blissful pilot
The weirdest part is people seem to be buying into it ONLY for Mario kart
I truly do not understand
north topaz
The weirdest part is people seem to be buying into it **ONLY** for Mario kart
$80 btw
Literally saw this the other day
blissful pilot
Some of the customers, I swear they look like methheads with how they drool looking at their total with the switch 2 in front of them
It’s actually alarming
Did Nintendo drug these people? You’d think they had amnesia of everything Nintendo has done
The most common thing I’d hear is that “oh Nintendo can’t be that bad, because Such and Such company also does bad things”
Like people comparing Nintendo to Apple, or Viacom
In my eyes, if it’s a shitty greedy business strategy, it’s a shitty greedy business strategy, more companies doing it isn’t a good thing nor should it be treated as normal or acceptable
Yeah no wonder I feel nauseous lol
I got to feel it too, while I was at work

I saw people already commenting on Resident Evil 9 not having a Switch 2 edition
Like, what did you expect, the graphics in that game look insane
blissful pilot
Lemme tell ya, I thought the switch felt cheap as fuck compared to the steam deck when I had the Chance to compare it….
The switch 2 is arguably just as bad if not worse
It feels so incredibly…. Plastic. Like obnoxiously so
formal sierra
its so the little children nomming on the joycons eat the yummy little micro-plastics
blissful pilot
I saw people already commenting on Resident Evil 9 not having a Switch 2 edition...
I feel like these are the same level of intelligence as the people who would complain Mario isn’t on PlayStation or Xbox

That’s the other thing, if you buy it for yourself, like ok.. given the price. I don’t respect it, and I personally think you’re a bit of a moron for doing so…. But if you buy this $500 thing just for a kid or kids… I’m entitled to saw you’re an imbecile. You’d probably spend your money on Gucci glow in the dark propeller hats.
The price isn’t right for that reason alone
You can’t say it’s for “kiddies” but then also have it be nearly as expensive as a PS5 while not serving nearly as much of a purpose
The worst part is, take away Mario, and the GameCube exclusives, all the shiny dangling keys. And the switch 2 is basically useless. It’s not a huge upgrade from the switch 1
formal sierra

If you took away Mario and what have you from the switch 1… it still serves a purpose and is something still inherently valuable

Oh that’s the worst part
They’d agree with me. And then pull out their credit card

okay i think this is a pretty cold take; but no company cares about you at all, and anyone who does think like that needs to stop being parasocial
blissful pilot
I feel bad for the poor smucks wasting their money on something that’s probably gonna collect dust from what I’ve seen in experience
formal sierra
they'll forget they wasted it don't worry
"whats this purchase i didn't make doing on my card? GameStop? who stopped my game?"
blissful pilot
okay i think this is a pretty cold take; but no company cares about you at all, ...
Well yeah, companies are there to make money… but some companies are structured differently. Valve is one of my favorite companies and for good reason, while they might not care for individual fans enough, they care enough to provide probably the best customer support I’ve ever seen and it’s not even close. They are losing money on the steam decks because they truly wanted to lower prices of future competitors with handhelds while getting the deck in more people’s hands, and I mean… steam sales, that’s a big one too
formal sierra
Well yeah, companies are there to make money… but some companies are structured ...
yeah i could've definitely worded that better. i meant that no company truly values you as an individual
and idk why people think that way cause they don't know who tf u even are lol
creeps me out to be honest
same with people who obsess over content creators and act like that specific content creator knows them personally and they've formed a great bond together
blissful pilot
Well yeah, companies are there to make money… but some companies are structured ...
Those are just a few reasons, they support modding, they reward the modding community and the creations people make with their stuff to a certain extent. They have from the start, they are a privately owned company so when they do stuff, it’s largely because they as a company to to become better, which is different from other companies that have to make massive profits for shareholders. So they feel tempted to play it safe or release garbage for a quick cash
Now yes, valve doesn’t care about me or my Valve collection. And that’s perfectly fine, I care about valve… because of how much a good job they’ve been doing, being able to make or release something and have it be good for being itself (referring to the steam deck)
blissful pilot
same with people who obsess over content creators and act like that specific con...
Yeah that’s all too common… lol
formal sierra
doesn't it creep you out too lmao

There’s a lot of things the creep me out

I was able to get to this screen and CMD
So maybe I won’t need a boot usb who knows
I’m trying to go into safe mode first, if you got any recommendations considering video drivers you want me to try lemme know
fading fractal
what happened?
formal sierra
it died
blissful pilot
No fricking clue
formal sierra
too much purple
formal sierra
nah its probably the GPU drivers
but it could actually be that
ngl it could be anything i got bluescreens from a shitty PSU so idk
blissful pilot
I tried installing Nvidia Drivers because of this^ error when trying to get remix working, and shit hit the fan
fading fractal
i've only had GPU drivers cause this one time, and that was a bad update released by Nvidia in like 2016
hmmm
fading fractal
maybe your RAM is unstable and the driver got corrupted during install
have had that happen before
formal sierra
blissful pilot
Apparently I can do a system restore because I have a restore point from two days ago
So I’m trying that now
Documents shouldn’t be affected, just drivers and the windows side of it apperently
Yay!
formal sierra
blissful pilot
Now I gotta figure out what the fuck is that error
formal sierra
shitty Nvidia drivers
fading fractal
before you do anything else, back up important documents
https://sourceforge.net/projects/crystaldiskinfo/
grab this. make sure your SSD isn't failing
formal sierra
and download more ram of course
fading fractal
https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
run this if the SSD is fine. but it's a bit of a pain
formal sierra
i love you Ventoy
i hate doing that memtest since you have to turn on UEFI and my computer takes like 2 minutes to boot 🫡
blissful pilot
before you do anything else, back up important documents
I’m tempted to do this
Like maybe reinstalling windows and such isn’t a bad idea
formal sierra
NO
ITS A BAD IDEA
well actually if its been longer than 6 months its nice to have a clean slate
shit gets really slow a couple months in and I have no idea on earth why but its just how Windows is lol
formal sierra
😬
yeah it might not be worth the troubleshooting lol
except definitely check out your SSD health like Kim said
thats a bit worrisome lol
formal sierra
does every other application work btw?
because id say if its more than just Chrome
blissful pilot
formal sierra
i always do
sfc /scannow in CMD/Terminal
usually it doesn't work but it doesn't harm your files so might as well give it a go
DISM /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
also this one
fading fractal
yeah that's possibly a bad SSD
fading fractal
i always do
```sfc /scannow``` in CMD/Terminal
in my experience if either one of these actually does something, you need a fresh install
formal sierra
i've never actually had it do anything to help tho lol
blissful pilot
formal sierra
I LOVE NANAZIP
also maybe don't put it on a USB stick cause man the transfer times are terrible lmao
same with HDD
my god it took 45 minutes to transfer 1.5GB from my backup HDD to my SSD
blissful pilot
It only takes a few minutes to do a couple hundred gb for me
I'm doing something(s) I should've done a long time ago for you guys and this project
By the way
obviously it's not perfect in function, the playback stops when the next event loads, I still gotta fix it, but if you wanted to try RTX with it you can, its also here and on my google drive as a backup
Here's the .exe and the files required for the BlitzMovie Monitor last I touched it
Furthermore. I'm backing up ALL RTX Remix project files related to the project, with the exception of sourced image files and 3D models and such because that would be way too much.
So
SCP v.1.3.11 RTX Project Files - Link
it's there, its backed up, that should be the mod file, captures, assets, project files, and previous attempts, and even the same SCP:CB RTX folder I usually run the game from. everything needed to start up or edit an existing mod in RTX Remix if you ever wanted to
not very useful as long as I'm working on it, Its more of a backup for me incase I lose it, but hey! you guys have it now if you need. its of course only LCZ and up to v0.0.7 of the mod
I'm backing up everything else too, including image sources, PSDs, 3D models and such. but it may take a while
I've definitely surpassed over 1TB in storage usage for this project
which means this is definitely my biggest project I've worked on
formal sierra
I'm backing up everything else too, including image sources, PSDs, 3D models and...
oh sick
reaper my beloved
remastering each of the music files is so nice since i feel like i haven't heard most of these in a while
blissful pilot
One more thing for you guys
That's right, It works. it just works :)
BlitzMovie Textures work just as you'd expect in RTX
I thought the flickering would still be there too, because I never removed the object or the function for it, I only replaced the texture with the BlitzMovie one, but it seems that was all I needed to do
so all other functions like 895 and 079 are still intact
It just. works.
All I need to do, is adjust the texture settings in remix, and of course complete the video files, and the functions to switch them between events.
I think @stark lotus will be happy, at least I hope so
formal sierra
DUDEEE
blissful pilot
I know its not actual Render Target which is sad, but its still somethin
formal sierra
that looks 👌
blissful pilot
looks the part too
blissful pilot
I think I blew Vain Brain’s mind lol
He never seen the RTX remaster, so I showed him a showcase in 4K and the prop collection I got, animations I’ve done, everything that’s been done here
I suppose it is pretty neat
formal sierra
IT IS
blissful pilot
I went back, and looked at all image and videos I had stored, I never knew just how much has been accomplished since February when I started
I suppose if it’s over 1TB there’s proof lol
formal sierra
yeah i was actually scrolling through the beginning of the project
wish I could do more to contribute but ngl this stuff is too advanced and im a red team lmao
formal sierra
sorry im tired lol
blissful pilot
AMD lol
formal sierra
amd
blissful pilot
It took me a bit but I got there
His reaction was pretty funny tho it was similar to Kuro
“What about the NTF mod??”
formal sierra
I was thinking of TF2 for some reason
blissful pilot
He totes wants us to add RTX to that lmao
formal sierra
“What about the NTF mod??”
you should've said "maybe if you release 0.3 already"
blissful pilot
I’m not against it, but I think Vanilla, UE, and then UER should be done first in that order
It’ll get a lot easier and faster once 1.3.11 is done
Actually, I also wanna do a couple of other games too
Like 087, or 087-B, or even Indev
Indev would be so surreal looking
formal sierra
087 would be fucking awesome
blissful pilot
But like all three of those would take maybe a day or two each once the PBR assets are made for Vanilla
UER might be a little harder but that’s about it that differs a lot
formal sierra
im still excited af for the humans 😆
cant wait for the real juicy parts (it was 2 AM this came out weird)
blissful pilot
Huh
I never showed this here; because it was from April of 2024
I’ve had three of these masks, a silver one identical to the one used in the wiki photo in 2017 but ended up cracking/breaking
a gold one which is identical to the original one but gold,
and this one, the most recent. Which I purchased solely to keep as a SCP prop and to photoscan, it was gold initially and I eventually painted it silver to make it look identical to the wiki
Just some background
And now it’ll go towards the Remaster
stark lotus
rare epoch
Been a while since I've checked in. Looks like you've made unbelievable progress. I'm super impressed
blissful pilot
Everyday I try to
formal sierra
here's each of the ending songs. GateA_Arrived and GateB_Arrived are both from the same album from Kevin Macleod, which is pretty much the only album Kevin Macleod made featured in Containment Breach that has an uncompressed version you can buy (still CC BY-SA, so i can share them here). i still need to trim these to be exactly as their CB counterparts, but i'd prefer to do those tasks once i'm done sourcing all of the SFX/Music
this ending song (Medusa) is when you're at Gate B and get spotted by the guard or apache stationed at the gate. unfortunately, this one doesn't have a uncompressed version
also, here is the Main Menu (original by some bald man on SoundCloud) and Credits (piano cover by Vane Brain) themes
if you're wondering why the filenames are different, its because i want to keep the audio rework organized, and also easily navigable by anyone who wants to see the remastered files. i will instead create a seperate folder for .ogg where you can just slap it in the SFX folder
blissful pilot
Do you guys have any recommendations for storage devices? Like SSD or M.2?
I might be looking at getting one
Just for more storage for the project going forward
I saw a Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD 4TB M.2 PCIe on sale for $182
oak dirge
m.2 ssd is the fastest storage type
blissful pilot
Looked pretty good at face value
Fastest is secondary, given the documentation and stuff, long term lifespan is priority, but obviously it’s a mix of the two
oak dirge
990 evo plus is one of the top end ssd's
blissful pilot
Fastest is secondary, given the documentation and stuff, long term lifespan is p...
It’s why portable SSD is the last thing I’d get
blissful pilot
990 evo plus is one of the top end ssd's
Tis good then?
oak dirge
that's like $100 off msrp so good deal
blissful pilot
Samsung is what I currently got, and have been using since 2017, so it should be a good brand wise. And it’s 4TB for the price it looks insane to me
oak dirge
yeah that sale is really good
blissful pilot
Brand new too
More expensive than I was hoping to go, but again 4TB
I just don’t really know the biggest differences between the ones that go into the motherboard, like M.2 vs Sata SSDs
Besides the obvious; you’d need a specific motherboard to house the former
oak dirge
sata ssd's are capped at 600MBps and use the sata cable
m.2 ssd's use pcie lanes on the motherboard and gen 4x4 is at 8000MBps sequential (single large file)
but that isn't real world speed since irl files are all of various sizes and such and the cpu slows it down.
formal sierra
sata ssd's are capped at 600MBps and use the sata cable
m.2 ssd's use pcie lanes...
the upgrade from a 200GB HDD to a 1TB M.2 ssd was absolutely crazy lol
its like going from 60hz to 120hz+
oak dirge
other big thing with that is ssd's don't slow down as they age
formal sierra
and they don't die to anything magnetic lol
i mean it can definitely damage the SSD but the force has to be strong af
blissful pilot
Apperently the pricing I gave for the 4TB was wrong, I was on the wrong country site lol
So probably not gonna get 4TB but rn I think I have a Samsung 870 Evo Sata SSD which if I remember has a read/write speed of 560 mb/s
So pretty much anything is a massive upgrade
M.2 definitely seems like the way to go, and likely Samsung too
But I’m probably more looking at 2TB, which isn’t bad
formal sierra
maybe take a look at Western Digital
they've always been pretty good but so is Samsung
blissful pilot
Like the WD_black?
I’ll take a look
At this point even something like Samsung 990 Evo would be good and cheap for 2TB with a read speed of 4200 MB/S
Which still better than what I’ve had/have so
I have Gen5 too so of course everything is naturally more expensive 😭
Unless, is it backwards compatible?
Maybe I gotta do some research, maybe it won’t cost so much
blissful pilot
so uh... apperently what I have for M.2 currently is a Samsung 990 Evo 1TB so getting that would be the same to what I have
as for my Sata SSD, its actually a Samsung 870 QVO 1TB, not Evo..
fading fractal
I have Gen5 too so of course everything is naturally more expensive 😭
you do not need gen5
get 4.0, it's good enough in 99% of cases
it'll work fine
blissful pilot
I know i did some reading
Gen 5 is really really overkill
also, the 870 QVO has RPM instead of MB/s Read write speeds
which is hard to read but
Samsung 870 QVO which I currently have is 7200 RPM
so yeah.. big upgrade lmao
blissful pilot
I have a HDD too
I've had these for a bit
they aren't too new
the 990 Evo M.2 is new, got it in January when I upgraded/rebuilt my PC
I have a Z790-Plus motherboard, so really it doesn't matter which M.2 I get I should have enough slots and PCIe 4.0 seems like the way to go
so really, its just Brand:Price:Storage size
makes it easy
also I'm almost done backing up, so I'll run those SSD tests now
I definitely think somethings fucked
formal sierra
I definitely think somethings fucked
its cause of the purple making the setup look too good
blissful pilot
can't use discord, chrome, the snipping tool,it constantly tells me it wants to open an app called my username, I checked storage and theres a partition for my C:/ drive (the 990 Evo M.2) that has a portion for FAT32 that is labeled as "Full Repair Needed"
formal sierra
the setup was so hot it fried your SSD
blissful pilot
can't use discord, chrome, the snipping tool,it constantly tells me it wants to ...
so yeah.. something is definitely fucky
fading fractal
also, the 870 QVO has RPM instead of MB/s Read write speeds
are you in the US? if so i can recommend some cheap but very good SSDs
Samsung is very overpriced overall
blissful pilot
nah Canada
blissful pilot
ideally 2-4TB 1TB is the minimum but it has to be a really really low price if i get that low
right now ive been looking at this
Lexar EQ790 4TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe 1.4, Blazing Speeds Up to 7000MB/s Read 6000MB/s Write for Intense Workloads & PS5 PC Gaming, High Performance Internal Solid State Drive
i.. meant to post a link but I guess that works
fading fractal
yeah... that SSD is great on paper
but it has overheating issues
i was gonna get it myself
fading fractal
but that one is not very competitive in pricing usually. how much more is it?
blissful pilot
they have one with a heatsink
Lexar 4TB NM790 SSD with Heatsink PCIe Gen4
blissful pilot
but that one is not very competitive in pricing usually. how much more is it?
between the one I mentioned prior, its like $20 more
very pricy compared to 2TB, but I mean... 4TB\
the only thing I'm unsure of is switching to Lexar from Samsung
fading fractal
this is a very good SSD overall. high TBW (endurance), and doesn't overheat easily
my friend has one, he's extremely happy with it and has had it for a couple years now
blissful pilot
good brand too?
Im not set on ONLY name brands, but some other brands can be very hit or miss with computer parts so I like to make sure
fading fractal
fading fractal
good brand too?
not the absolute best around, but i've bought from them before. this is their best SSD pretty much and it holds up
this one has a slightly lower endurance (2000 TBW) but is faster, and is also from a brand i trust more
i have ~6 SSDs from them and none have failed even after years of use
blissful pilot
this one has a slightly lower endurance (2000 TBW) but is faster, and is also fr...
whats better would you say?

i'd go for the teamgroup one. for most people the TBW doesn't matter (example, my 500 GB SSD with a 240 TBW rating is still going after 5 years of constant use)
and it's a good brand
blissful pilot
knowing kinda what's being worked on here
regardless, they're probably better than what I currently have on all fronts, so it doesn't matter but I'm curious
fading fractal
if you really wanna shell out, get an SN850x
it's not cheap though. at minimum as much as the Lexar drive you posted
fading fractal
if you really wanna shell out, get an SN850x
this is the drive i have. 4TB as well. extremely happy with it
but tbh you do not need a drive of this tier. it simply doesn't matter unless you need the bandwidth
sorry i'm juggling a lot rn so ping me if i don't respond
blissful pilot
this one has a slightly lower endurance (2000 TBW) but is faster, and is also fr...
honestly, the 1TB 870 QVO would have roughly 1440 TBW of endurance if it was hypothetically 4TB, so this one is still better for that too
and like you said, thats lasted me long time
fading fractal
oohhh ew
the QVO is QLC, which is really really slow once the cache runs out
hmm
fading fractal
well, it happens mainly during large transfers
but yeah
the drives i sent are all TLC, and are far better suited as system drives. you'll probably notice Windows acting a little more consistently
blissful pilot
honestly that Teamgroup one doesn't look too bad
fading fractal
100% would buy the teamgroup drive myself
blissful pilot
I don't recgonize the brand myself, but obviously Samsung is one of, if not the most popular and thus is more overpriced than it needs to be
fading fractal
unfortunately no techpowerup review for it. they do a good job with them so i was hoping to see one
blissful pilot
the high end Samsung 990 Pro which is like the best of the best recommendation I've heard is like $200 more (of my currency) and only has a 400 TBW increase over the Teamgroup one you sent
speeds are comparable too
so theres the answer right there lol
as long as Teamgroups is a pretty reputable brand and long lasting, it seems a better choice
fading fractal
speeds are comparable too
so to clarify why that is, there's a lot more that goes into it than the speeds advertised on the sale pages. those are sequential. there are random reads and writes that matter too (mainly for programs, and for file transfers)
the 990 Pro excels with those, but not even by a huge margin. it's not noticeable in the vast majority of use-cases
blissful pilot
Yeah I figured
fading fractal
as long as Teamgroups is a pretty reputable brand and long lasting, it seems a b...
it's fairly well known, and has been around for quite a while. personally out of everyone i know with one of their drives, they've never had one fail and it always performed as expected
blissful pilot
keep in mind, Samsung 870 QVO has RPM, and if you were to compare that to Read/write it would be like I think it was 180mb/s?
so regardless.. BIG Difference lmao
fading fractal
keep in mind, Samsung 870 QVO has RPM, and if you were to compare that to Read/w...
it's SATA, right?
it maxes out the SATA port at ~500 MB/s, but only for sequential. and falls flat in most other areas
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/samsung-870-qvo-1-tb/14.html
Very low real-life performance Way too expensive Horrible write rates when SLC cache is exhausted Inconsistent performance 3-year warranty, competitors offer 5-year Small SLC cache
that's techpowerup's negatives summary lol
so yeah any drive is gonna be better than this thing
blissful pilot
it's SATA, right?
yeah
blissful pilot
<https://www.techpowerup.com/review/samsung-870-qvo-1-tb/14.html>
> Very low...
it was when I bought it randomly from best buy
and before I became smart :)
I wasn't always a techy dude
I use to have a GTX 660 and knew nothing about how it worked or what could be better
so a lot has changed
I remember getting it years ago
looking at the specs, its kinda amaing it survived this long however old it may be
same with my HDD which is even older
Alright, I think I'm set on that one then, its expensive about $100 more than I was gonna spend but twice as much storage and 1.5x the speeds I was going to as well
but first
I gotta finish backing up my stuff, and running those storage tests
hopefully my Storage isn't beyond repair or saving
like hardware wise
fading fractal
I gotta finish backing up my stuff, and running those storage tests
what tests are you running?
all you need to look at is crystaldiskinfo. no need for further tests
blissful pilot
yeah what you sent
thats what i was gonna do when I can
Everything is now backed up, at least to a USB temporarily
what should I be looking for in crystaldiskinfo specifically?
they all say "Good and have temps and that looks like it lol
unless theres something specific I should be doing or looking for
fading fractal
what should I be looking for in crystaldiskinfo specifically?
select your SSD, then send a screenshot of the window
fading fractal
yeah that one is all okay
all of them likely are
so it's not your SSD failing
my next guess is the RAM
blissful pilot
That would be even stranger
Are RAM tests quick? Or do they take a long time
I heard that some can take over 24 hours
fading fractal
Are RAM tests quick? Or do they take a long time
good ones go for 2+ days. but if your RAM is bad enough to be causing issues in Windows like what you showed, it'd pop up within like an hour
memtest86 that i sent you isn't the best, but it is one of the easiest
blissful pilot
I’ll take a look when I can I guess
Ram would be very strange, it was one of the few parts I think I bought brand new, and is from January so
I guess we’ll have to see
My guess is drivers or something, but I honestly don’t know
Even to me it’s strange
fading fractal
Ram would be very strange, it was one of the few parts I think I bought brand ne...
yeah that doesn't matter for RAM really
it just fails whenever it wants
blissful pilot
Looking at the price maybe it was used on Amazon who knows
blissful pilot
The race is off
I really hope my memory is fine, but ultimately if I have to buy more that sets me back about a $100 maybe even less if only one stick is bad
But I had a even scarier thought
What if it’s my graphics card failing?
Now that. Would really suck
I’m not even sure what I’d do in that situation 😅
It actually got me thinking about the contest.. I never really cared about the monetary value in the prize pool, I more (if anything) care about the idea of winning or getting a placement in it for my portfolio, it’s the kinda thing where a free project I’d do for passion for the game could potentially get me a job in the future
But with everything that happened with my PC I kinda have a different perspective on it, if our mod were to win a placement in the contest and there was money involved.. -I kinda want to, and feel it’s right to invest most if not all of that (at least whatever I get for my share) into the mod and remaster. I kinda knew that’s what I would do anyhow, but for example. Higher end RTX graphics cards are expensive, and otherwise I don’t think I’d ever actually afford it in the near future.
That being said, I still feel the same way, I never really cared about doing what I love for money, money is just the means to the end :)
But yeah, if somehow our mod were to win, that’s the first thing I’m buying, the best graphics card I can get
But for now; I really hope my Graphics card ain’t failing yet 😂🫨🫣
fading fractal
nah this wouldn't be your GPU
if it's not your RAM, and not your SSD, it was probably just a fluke and hopefully isn't any real issue
blissful pilot
That being said, I still feel the same way, I never really cared about doing wha...
Niccolò Machiavelli once said “The end justifies the means.”
blissful pilot
if it's not your RAM, and not your SSD, it was probably just a fluke and hopeful...
Here’s hoping
I’m upgrading storage anyhow which is the more expensive of the two
I bought the drive tonight as well
Should be here Tuesday or Wednesday
Hurt the wallet a tad bit, but nothing I won’t recover from of course
Still less than half the price of the switch 2 though
Shots fired on the switch 2, -not a statement on how expensive storage is
100% worth it, meanwhile I wouldn’t pickup the switch 2 if it costed $200
blissful pilot
ARE YOU KIdDING me
I thought the switch 2 was OLed, it’s fricking LCD
Why the hell are people buying into this crap??
Anyhow that’s enough switch 2 drama for tonight, at least from me
I’ll die on this hill. But pretty much everyone agrees with me here so I probably dont need to state it, yall are probably just as confused about Nintendo Fans as I am
formal sierra
I thought the switch 2 was OLed, it’s fricking **LCD**
WHAT
oh maybe so they can release the oled version for like $200 more lmao
oak dirge
I thought the switch 2 was OLed, it’s fricking **LCD**
Nope. But it's 120hz hdr
blissful pilot
HDR on LCD sucks in comparison to HDR on OLED
You need to have games that support HDR10 too, and while there’s plenty, OLED is much more noticeable visual difference
Anyhow
Here’s the results
Looks ok to my untrained eyes 🤷♀️
If it is ok, I’m not sure what else to do, I mean… I guess just install windows and call it a day?
That’s about all I can do as a good measure
blissful pilot
after a restart, discord and everything that wasn't working is working now
I'm genuinely confused lmao
well lemme try SCP RTX I guess
darn same error
not surprised, given the fact that technically windows and its drivers should be from before
any suggestions?
I can try to go the clean slate method, reinstall windows and everything and then update drivers ang try again
or I can potentially try certain drivers first if you guys have suggestions on which, what, or what exactly to do
I'm all ears
This is the error we're dealing with incase you don't know, or forgotten
formal sierra
😭
oak dirge
Just install a second windows on a like 50gb blank partition as a test
And that's when launching the game fullscreen with and without launcher?
blissful pilot
yeah regardless
played with all the options.ini
it doesn't have the error without RTX though
ran dxdiag as well as sfc /scannow
Both seem to be good
I was able to find this out too
2025-05-29 is the last time I've been able to run the RTX mod on this computer
It was when I tried some of Elisha's dxwrapper files
interestingly, when I check my programs, Visual C++ all redistributables look to be installed on the 30th?
its weird that theres (x86) and (x64) of each
I also read online that remix was openly tested on 2019, but not so much of 2022
when I had the Visual C++ error when switching from v1.0 of RTX Remix, I installed 2019, but when I tried compiling blitz3D, I think I reinstalled 2022 instead
so its possible that might be it
granted, if thats the case, I would be led to believe the error should be a Visual C++ one and not what we have
oak dirge
It would just say missing whatever and they can all coexist anyway
Visual c++ isn't visual studio
blissful pilot
I know
Visual C++ is what I reinstalled specifically for compiling Blitz3D not Visual Studio
I mean, technically I did both, but Visual Studio wouldn't have any affect

Batesee has been pretty much the only one I haven’t talked to besides Regalis

Although Batesee has responded to my work
Battleforge has shown me DMs from him upon watching my videos so
There’s that
formal sierra
i wish batesee still uploaded videos 😔
vague spindle
blissful pilot
Perhaps I found something
That’s my video driver
I noticed this by reading on someone having the exact same error with a WoW RTX mod
Upon further searching, I know it’s an AI overview but
Now I don’t know if this was wrong for me to do
But are you typically supposed to uninstall video drivers before installing new ones?
Because I didn’t do that when updating my drivers earlier, and I wonder if that’s what fudged it
I’m gonna attempt uninstalling and then properly reinstalling
Wait a minute, I just realized that message is from February
So maybe not
This was the last message
oak dirge
Running ddu would cover that and no
oak dirge
I’m gonna attempt uninstalling and then properly reinstalling
Run ddu
Thats what I thought you were doing/already did the other day when I mentioned it
blissful pilot
Running DDU now
I already uninstalled the display adapter via device manager beforehand
oak dirge
That isn't the same thing so running ddu is the go to
blissful pilot
I went back to when I switched to v1.0 of remix, and had to update vulkan and my drivers, that was on May 19th which coincides with the latest driver update release so I’m assuming I would’ve been using the latest this time
If not, the one before it is dated May 12th
DDU is good though, because it also gets rid of Vulkan runtime, which is a good idea to check all bases
oak dirge
I was playing with Vulkan runtime and latest driver
blissful pilot
Hm
Ok so
I noticed the resolution was a weird size, which I was expecting
But upon logging in, the resolution fixed itself
And just as I expected
That’s there
I didn’t install anything yet
Is it possible that the Nvidia app is automatically doing it?
oak dirge
Windows auto installa default drivers
blissful pilot
Shall I uninstall this display driver first?
oak dirge
No
blissful pilot
Ok
Lemme give it a try then
Once it’s done, should I restart or shutdown? Specifically
Or neither? I can’t remember
I think for a new GPU it’s shut down, if it’s just a driver update restart
Yea?
oak dirge
After ddu and restart you install driver and thats it
oak dirge
Yup
blissful pilot
Brother wth 💀
At this point I’m tempted to do one of two things
Or three things
- create a partition for a fresh install of windows to see
- reinstall windows and try this again
- or compile a custom .exe that doesn’t have that Window3D error just to see if it even works
oak dirge
And thats vanilla scb with rtx nothing else
blissful pilot
Yes, well. plus dxwrapper of course, rtx-remix yknow the usual
I could try just with v1.0 of RTX, no .conf no rtx-remix just dxwrapper and the runtime
see if its any different
oak dirge
Dxvk.conf has a gpu spoofing setting other than that idk what would affect
oak dirge
LMAO
blissful pilot
I seem to remember there was an NVbridge exe file before… it doesn’t seem to be there now
Oh wait
That’s in .trex and it is there
Nvm then
Ok this is interesting though
That’s one of the logs for the base game
It might be a direct draw issue then
Weird
oak dirge
is that d3d9.log
was gonna ask if it showed your gpu there
and d3d9.dll is for the rtx loader obv
yeah says at top failed to create device scroll up further for deviceID
it would straight up say 4070 ti or whatever your gpu is
blissful pilot
doesn't have one
hm
whats another directx9 application or game I could try?
This is the log for bridge
simular to the dxwrapper log
...GetDeviceCaps() failed with: no response from server. ```only d3d9.log would show or similar log
blissful pilot
it doesn't exist
oak dirge
that's only showing the log on bridge not the remix local one
blissful pilot
like it never created a log when running
oak dirge
prob gets directed to the wrapper log
blissful pilot
maybe
blissful pilot
here take a look if youd like
wait..
huh?
windows 10 home...?
wtf
system info says Windows 11 Home 64
... weird
oak dirge
your missing the adpater setups underneath dxwrapper loaded
you using a release dxwrapper?
blissful pilot
Should be yea, the latest one
I can install straight from the GitHub to make absolute sure though
I tried half life 2 and now I’m trying Portal RTX both Dx9 games
So far both seem to be working so
oak dirge
yeah that's why I thinking dxwrapper issue or something
blissful pilot
Just did a fresh install of it from GitHub
Still nah
I could possibly try on two of the other RTX PCs I have
Granted I tried on my laptop earlier and it seemed to be find
Fine
That’s how I recorded the BlitzMovie working in RTX
oak dirge
nvmd missed it
blissful pilot
not sure if I posted this; but ran it again
interesting
checking windows updates
there was an update for 2025-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5058411) on the 31st
which would've been right after the last time the RTX mod worked for me
interesting
formal sierra
lmao
if it magically worked that woulda been funny af
idk what on earth is going on but it looks to be a timeout on the GPU or something considering the fact it takes so long to launch
idk thats just a guess :P
blissful pilot
Mann I’ve tried like everything I can think of
Maybe I’ll give a windows reinstall a try idk
I noticed these Windows Software Development SDKs were installed around the same time too, so I tried uninstalling all four
Only one failed to uninstall which is weird
formal sierra
Maybe I’ll give a windows reinstall a try idk
yeahh thats probably gonna be your best option
imo much easier than troubleshooting Windows

My only question for anyone who knows if they do
Are these super important or something to worry about?
I’m not sure what they are really
fading fractal
Are these super important or something to worry about?
if you install the chipset driver for your platform it'll fix those
it's not a big deal but it could possibly cause issues
do you know what motherboard you have?
blissful pilot
Yes
Well, the RTX mod currently runs like ass lol
Even though it didn’t on my system before so
If it possibly could be the cause of that it’s good to have I guess
fading fractal
it's likely not causing that

what CPU do you have?
you can get the drivers here
chipset section
don't bother with the others

what CPU do you have?

yes, mb
blissful pilot
Isn’t that most? lol
fading fractal
not most, but definitely very common
blissful pilot
Yeah no kidding
fading fractal
they offer free RMAs for failing CPUs
fading fractal
i had a 12700k
was very happy with it overall
if you keep experiencing issues, it probably is the CPU failing
you should update your BIOS as well. they've put out patches to try to stop them from failing
fading fractal
https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gami...
those are also available here
blissful pilot
Hm I’ll give it a try I guess
Yeah if that fails that would suck
A lot harder to replace
fading fractal
13600s are less likely to fail, but it can still happen
intel also knowingly shipped CPUs that had manufacturing defects. so these CPUs will continue to degrade even when running at safe voltages
blissful pilot
for the BIOS update
do I have to do anything else besides downloading the thing
like going into BIOS
Said this
No idea if that’s all I need to do
fading fractal
you need a flash drive formatted as FAT32, and empty
you place the file on it that it output there, and then boot into the BIOS, and flash it
blissful pilot
gotcha
fading fractal
this process will wipe your BIOS settings unfortunately
there should be an option to save your settings to a flash drive though
blissful pilot
I don't think I set any specific ones besides the default
at least when I built my PC
fading fractal
this is from the manual on their site
sooo make sure you don't turn off the PC or anything during this process. that'd corrupt the BIOS
blissful pilot
I will try my best
my USB has two partitions tho
shit
I think thats from memtest86
fixed it
Ok I’m actually not sure what I’m doing
blissful pilot
Like… which folder?
formal sierra
Like… which folder?
?
put the bios update file in the root directory of the USB
make sure to do a format in FAT32 before putting it there tho
blissful pilot
Ok nvm
I got it
Apparently I was on the wrong drive
But I found the .cap image
formal sierra
alr nice
blissful pilot
What a night, Christ
I just hope stuff actually works ok now
I hope the game runs a little better on my PC too
It wasn’t slow, but it would just… crash?
No memory access violation or anything like that
Just crash
formal sierra
the power is gonna conveniently shut off
its actually not too bad if it corrupts and you have a flash utility built into your motherboard
but mine doesn't have it so im kinda cooked if I ever need to update my bios again and the power goes out

And I was wrong
There was one bios setting I changed
Which I’m changing now

what mobo is it?
if it's running DDR5, that could just be a setting that you need to change in the BIOS

there's not much else you should need to change

LMAO no that was just an example photo i pulled up haha
blissful pilot
Game works a lot better than it did before the bios tweak
Not as good as it use to be before the PC shitting the bed crap, but still better, a lot more random crashes than before
But I was able to at least run through the game for a bit
It only crashed when I changed it from NRC to ReSTIR
Dunno why
I’ll do more playing around with it
For now tho, at least the shit works now
fading fractal
It only crashed when I changed it from NRC to ReSTIR
that happens sometimes for me. esp after multiple switches
blissful pilot
Nah but like
It’s not as I’m changing it
Like I’ll change it in main menu, and it’ll only crash when I load into game
It didn’t in 0.6.0 or remix before NRC was added
So it’s weird
I’m curious if there’s a way to tweak it to make it preform better
same with the indirect ray tracing mode settings
like the ones thats like RayQuery (CS)
theres like three options for each, i've always been curious whats the best combo
I'll figure that stuff out tomorrow
and of course, my 4TB SSD 
hopefully its a good investment
I plan to name the drive "Inward 4D"

Intel Core i5-13600KF
It all makes so much more sense now
The first thing I normally do when I see Intel 13/14 is ask did you update bios?
Didn't think of it cause the og gpu related errors for that were vram related and only on certain new games. Totally missed you had more issues than the game not working
oak dirge
Also Intel extended the warranty on the processors if you want to get it swapped for a non degraded one
oak dirge
Only on the 13/14th gen
The microcode has a chance of affecting any cpu drawing more than 65 watts
blissful pilot
Is there way to test the CPU to see if it’s degraded?
formal sierra
Is there way to test the CPU to see if it’s degraded?
maybe try this out?
kuro might have something better
blissful pilot
I remember my CPU was one of the few parts I bought used from Amazon too, although it should still be covered by the same manufacturer warranty
formal sierra
hopefully, if its bad
also, if the tool doesn't show anything wrong, you should try just abusing tf out of your CPU by opening a crap ton of PSDs and stressful tasks
oak dirge
Is there way to test the CPU to see if it’s degraded?
I mean kinda but its not a guaranteed.
Im more in the mindset of, if there is a chance it degraded and could die way earlier than it should just replace it since Intel is offering
blissful pilot
But there’s always a chance lmao
I’ll take a look at the video once I grab some food tho
fading fractal
I remember my CPU was one of the few parts I bought used from Amazon too, althou...
possibly not. warranties like that don't usually transfer 😦
worth a try though
blissful pilot
I’ll take a look at the video once I grab some food tho
If it’s covered then I have no problems getting it replaced, if not that’s uh $200 in the hole
blissful pilot
possibly not. warranties like that don't usually transfer 😦
Also I only say that because it was one of the few things I double checked when buying used parts
