Rookie mistake is to connect hdmi to the motherboard

Maybe I should connect my monitor to the motherboard and try to enable it or smth

did you insert it correctly so its seated?

rain mango
stone meadow
#

you can

#

but as long as you inserted it with a click you should be fine

#

should be, you can still click it in with the other side of it not seated lol

#

do the fans spin when the pc is powered on?

last spoke
stone meadow
#

the gpu has power and is seated then

last spoke
#

Drivers?

stone meadow
#

maybe try using your igpu to get into windows and install amd drivers

#

you should be able to use the gpu without any drivers though

windows has basic ones

Press one of the buttons on your monitor and see if a menu comes up

Wait could it be cuz I disabled the monitor on my pc

I mean idk why it could be that cuz the monitor would still display

Yeah it's such a bizarre mechanic, you just wanna do open world shit and they just keep forcing you into these stupid missions like that

#

As somebody who knows nothing about game development, my uneducated opinion is that it is not amazing game design

ruby river
#

are you guys excited for the ck3 asia update

frosty tulip
#

As somebody who has never played CK3, yes

#

Very excited

oblique stream
#

To add in achievements

frosty tulip
#

Pretty lame

oblique stream
#

Maybe one day

swift crag
#

Achievements are lame in general in most cases.

oblique stream
#

They will remove their shitty launcher

swift crag
frosty tulip
#

I like achievements, just depends on how they're implemented

#

I don't wanna look for 15 gorbillion riddler trophies Arkham games

#

Pls stop

swift crag
#

I have a few 100%'d games that are actually challenging and show a sign of masterment of the game.

#

and I agree, that look for X collectable for an achievement is lame and the main reason I say it's lame in most cases.

frosty tulip
#

It's why I wanna 100% Trepang2 but my god, the last achievement is actually going to destroy me

frosty tulip
#

Even as somebody who loves high difficulty modes, the one in it is fucked

swift crag
#

Oh, the highest difficulty of trepang wasn't actually that bad imo

frosty tulip
swift crag
frosty tulip
#

Ye nah I also did 2nd hardest for my first

swift crag
#

still have to uh, get all the collectible shit >:l and one or two of the assassinations.

frosty tulip
#

That's the issue I have with many games tho

#

The collectible achievements are never fun

#

But they're always there

swift crag
#

And that was a major disappointment, like why add that to the game, leave it there and have it do nothing?

frosty tulip
#

I prefer achievements that require you to do a challenging playthrough or something

#

Not just find 100 golden toilets or some shit

#

Legit zero fun in it

And they don't shoot themself in the foot.

Valve shit their boots ok

That sums it up

How would I kno

I just kno that it was a weird thing to release

Clearly they did it to drive half life fans even more psychotic

last spoke

Valve employees just work on goddamn whatever they want

swift crag
#

Genuinely, I don't think the artifact failure was a shot them self in the foot moment, more like poking them self with a thumbtack by accident compared to natural operation of valve.

frosty tulip

No it was an intentional psyop to drive half life fans insane

Which parameter does it fail to meet?

dapper dove

ppl on cs will have 2k hours and be a 40 yr old dad whos drunk

lmao

swift crag

Launching,
because it specifically defines which version by default it wants based on it's title valve or publisher/devloper set.

last spoke
#

Steam automatically launches the selected default proton version

swift crag

Some titles can define "what works better" which overrides the default unless you set a override on it yourself.

dapper dove

ScarfShrug
I stand by Just set this

swift crag
burnt kite
swift crag
#

I am fine with it, but it's annoying on a steam deck to set this shit and test it out prior, especially if it doesn't have the right proton version to run whilst you're offline because there's no internet connection.

#

As I thought "Ah yes, this is verified to work, I won't need to test anything else" and it didn't run whilst I was using the steam deck away from home, and internet connection.

burnt kite
#

Okay fair enough

swift crag
#

You know the thing the deck is designed for?

last spoke
#

It seems to be a random issue because a lot of user reports on ProtonDB report it working out the box

burnt kite

Idk, being a vessel for linux

last spoke
#

A few report needing to switch Proton version, but most just say out the box

dapper dove
#

idk abt today but when I used linux it was basically only better in terms of having nerd software for my niche hobbies designed for it and none of the games I liked were supported by it especially not any small indie games and it was more steps to make any software work on it

@last spoke The main thing I was saying, is saying linux can't run some games and those being only the "bad games" is kind of hostile thinking. I'm sure I like playing games you really dislike.

There's tonnes of games I have had issues running just due to proton limitations and those aren't mainstream games.

heavy ivy

linux has its issues yeah, but they are issues that i like better than windows issues

dapper dove

i used linux for a while just cus windows pisses me off with all the bloatware and adware but you can debloat windows a lot

oh totes, windows is absolutely possible to strip down, this was just our personal choice

Does w11 even have windows dynamically snapping to each other yet?

Why are you having issues with Helldivers or Finals?

Wayland is super duper fucky and I want nothing to do with it

NoWayland

Yea I'unno what the problem is then

swift crag
#

Neither.

#

It runs, it does 60fps+ but then has stutters every second to 30.

#

so it's not entirely unplayable it's just an eye sore.

Which proton version did you run The Finals under?

polar kernel

but this is awful

I keep hearing this scary sound whenever I flick my phone open

But I can't stop doing it

Sometimes updates can break proton experimental, but hotfix usually works too

For the finals*

swift crag

None of them ran better, others didn't run at all.

bf1 is good but holy fuck theres no way you think 2042 is better than bc2, 3, or 4

it is

💔

#

im just keeping it real

stone meadow
#

wait wait

#

ok yeah its the one im thinking of

#

bf2042 at most 2nd worst and idk what would be worse actually

dapper dove
#

theyre all the same game

stone meadow
#

no, thats the problem

#

if bf2042 WAS the same game it wouldnt be so shit

#

but no, they gotta make classes pointless, add unnecessary bullshit

dapper dove
#

its the opposite methinks

swift crag
#

I saw gameplay of 2042 and it just looked boring compared to bf3

last spoke
#

I love not knowing about popular games

stone meadow
#

the formula that BF3 4 1 and V used was well established and the reason people play battlefield

swift crag
#

I actually still want to go back and play hardline.

stone meadow
#

then bf2042 comes in and changes everything for no reason

#

oh yeah and hardline

last spoke
#

Because I can play a new game and be like wheee fun! and not feel the need to compare it negatively to previous titles

stone meadow
#

hardline is better than 2042 lol

dapper dove
swift crag
dapper dove
#

and 2042 is good too cus its not the exact same game

swift crag
#

I haven't played 2042 lol

swift crag
#

They really screwed the naming schemes smh'

dapper dove
#

oh well that was where I started I played 1-5

#

and 2042

dapper dove
swift crag
#

I haven't played BF1 yet.

stone meadow
#

yeah it goes battlefield 1942, then battlefield 2, then 3, 4, THEN 1, then V then 2042

#

in terms of main series

dapper dove
#

why is the first one the fifth game

#

💀

stone meadow
#

idk ask EA

#

bf1 was the last good bf

#

V was eh

#

2042 is garbage

dapper dove
#

nah 2042 is kinda heat

stone meadow
#

3 and 4 my top favourites, 4 is just a bigger 3 and 3 is peak

swift crag
dapper dove
#

bf 1-v are just the same games

#

its like the cod games

stone meadow
#

1 and V have a lot of similarities yeah but 1 and 4 dont

#

1 and V is like 3 and 4 except 4 was actually good lol

#

now I wanna go play 1

swift crag
#

Was 4 good compared to 3?

stone meadow
#

4 is just a bigger 3 basically

swift crag
swift crag
stone meadow
#

64 player matches vs 32, same gameplay mostly, more weapons and items, bigger maps to accomodate 64 players

swift crag
#

stupid origin launcher was hell to mess with.

stone meadow
#

only thing i dont like is the loot chests

stone meadow
swift crag
#

4 had loot chests?

stone meadow
#

yeah, all the bfs after 3 do

swift crag
#

disgusting.

stone meadow
#

thats EA for you

last spoke

EA stands for Eternally Ass

I mean that entry in the series was disapointing as hell other than that.

dapper dove
stone meadow
#

you know whats funny

dapper dove
#

i played dead space 3 on my ps3 when i was little i dont remember any loot boxes

stone meadow
#

battlefield 1 has 3x the playercount of battlefield 2042

swift crag
dapper dove
#

brah

stone meadow
#

same with battlefield V, but the fact that 1 and V have the same playercount shows that 1 was just that good

#

or rather that bfs after 1 are just that shit i guess

#

Dont have much hope for the upcoming battlefield

swift crag
dapper dove
#

every modern game from big companies is dogwater

#

the budgets are way too big now for anything good

#

funny how that works

stone meadow
#

When 1 came out 1080ti was still the top card

vivid kettle
stone meadow
#

I guess that speaks more for the quality of the game

vivid kettle
#

my 3080ti overheated

swift crag
dapper dove
#

im also so sick of every modern game caring less about optimization because of gpus getting better

vivid kettle
stone meadow
#

not even gpus getting better, its mostly because of DLSS/FSR

dapper dove
#

every modern game also just doesnt give a shit about how much storage their game takes up

swift crag
stone meadow
#

no need to optimize when you can pull out +30% fps out of your ass with fake frames and upscaling

dapper dove

csgo was literally 15gb

burnt kite

Wait wha

swift crag
#

It was like 12gb when I downloaded it back in like 2013/2014.

#

which was when they introduced the first skins.

burnt kite
last spoke
dapper dove
#

cs2 isnt even a good game

burnt kite
#

I'm probably very confusrd

dapper dove
#

all they did was make csgo worse

#

and look worse

#

im so sick of the trend of "more realistic" being considered better graphics cus its not at all fr csgo looked so much better

burnt kite
#

Smoke so realistic that it emits from my PC's innards

swift crag
#

CS2 runs like crap and has more issues running microphones now.

dapper dove
#

they couldve just made it a separate game and kept csgo up but they didnt

swift crag
#

CS2 is a upgrade imo to CSGO

dapper dove
#

not even close in any manner

#

it looks worse runs worse takes up way more space

swift crag
#

Not for player movement, or server or anything, but graphically it's better.

burnt kite
#

You can go on legacy branch

swift crag
#

Everything underneath is worse imo.

burnt kite
#

But you can't play comp

dapper dove
#

it looks worse imo

burnt kite
#

And you have to wait even more

swift crag
dapper dove
#

it just looks the same as every other dogshit fps game that tries to have realistic graphics

last spoke
#

Us experiencing a ~20% perf boost in CS2 after switching to Linux

dapper dove
#

csgos visuals had way more charm

#

it looked way better

#

more realistic =/= "better" graphics

swift crag
#

I don't think the fidelity upgrade was worth it over losing the backend of csgo.

#

I literally do not like the way subticks work, along with pretty much everything else.

burnt kite
#

The only good thing about cs2 is fy_pool_day

dapper dove
#

theres literally no improvements to be seen in counter strike 2 aside from maybe the smokes

last spoke
dapper dove
#

the smokes are cool

#

oh and the skins

#

holy shit they ruined the skins

#

not even to mention they couldnt get them to look right in the lighting for months when it released

swift crag
#

They updated some skin textures that are more than a decade old?

dapper dove
#

a lot of the knife skins look worse in the new lighting and went down in price

#

I especially am pissed off over this because my knife went down by $600

if you get jumpscared by something unintentionally it's not on the movie, intentionally doing jumpscares, it's cheap and kinda removes from the tension as it's usually "Whoa look how close I killed you but I gotta wait another 36 minutes to run the movie run length down"

dim cloak

I used to hate horror in general tbh, including creepypastas

Rather than things happening for the sake of happening like the plot in action movies.
