You into cameras?
I'm on the market for a camera. Been doing fucktons of research, but I'm indecisive like nobody else.
lofty light
As in like proper photography cameras? My mum used to be a professional photographer and all I know is she used the Canon 5D when that was new but that's about all I know nowadays
untold tiger
I was looking at the HX99 from Sony
I wanted the RX100 iii or iv, but they're comically overpriced
elder bane
go for A7 III
untold tiger
I'm looking for sort of an all-in-one package that's a modest performer, while still being modular and compact
elder bane
Just spend 1500 more
untold tiger
I'm compelled to opt for an a6000 mirrorless
elder bane
There is A6000
opaque saddle
I got a canon 6D back then
untold tiger
But the base lens is trash, and the cheapest good lens is $200
opaque saddle
A6000 isn’t a good choice tho
opaque saddle
Don’t go for the cheapest lens, get a better glass
untold tiger
DSLRs are inferior to comparable mirrorless
untold tiger
The RX100 iii is honestly perfect, but fuck is it expensive
elder bane
go for the 55-210mm
opaque saddle
What sensor size is it
untold tiger
1" CMOS sensor on a compact
elder bane
F/4.5-6.3
opaque saddle
FF OR APSC
opaque saddle
FF is quite nice. Been using Nikon N3100, 5100. Not as great
opaque saddle
I use 70mm (135) more often
untold tiger
These are fixed lenses, after all it's a compact
elder bane
Mine always comes in handy when I took shot that is upclose and less lighting complicating
opaque saddle
Been stacking photos for better res
elder bane
Glad I spent 700 dollars for something that actually takes photo
Unlike that 1200 dollars joke of camera on iPhone
opaque saddle
Depends
untold tiger
The HX99 however has a smaller 1/2.3" 18.2MP CMOS, with 24-720mm Zeiss
opaque saddle
If you use a DSLR or Mirrorless cameras and people will look at you if you’re doing urban landscape
untold tiger
Shoots 4K/25p with no limitations
elder bane
The HX99 is a CyberShot digital camera
untold tiger
Yes
elder bane
It's not a mirrorless or DSLR though
untold tiger
I'm aware
elder bane
Don't expect too much from it
If you want to record video, stay away from Sony Camera
They have a 30 minutes limit tag on all lineups
opaque saddle
I’ve started doing photography since I was a child/teen
untold tiger
This has no limitation I don't believe, but older models did due to cooling issues
elder bane
Nope
untold tiger
The RX100 iv can only shoot 4K in 5-minute intervals
untold tiger
SX720HS from Canon does the same thing
740*
Shoots 5 minute intervals in 4K
So, it must be a common theme
Currently I have a Sony DSC-W830, a little $120 compact. Still images in ideal light honestly look amazing, better than most phones.
So any upgrade is an upgrade at this point.
I've just seen the limitations of the W830. I.E. low light performance, video recording, and connectivity.

For vehicle controls for planes can you switch the thumb sticks like it’s usually on the right thumb stick for going up and down and rolling left and right but I’m more comfortable with the left thumb stick because I’ve played gta 5 for longer and the flight controls are different

I care a lot about hardware, I think it's a huge deal that all games are gonna be able to play in 60 fps compared to 30 fps on current gen
and Xbox will support 120 fps and have dynamic latency to reduce input lag as much as possible for competitive games
molten coral
Nobody cares about hardware
storm osprey
if no one cared about hardware we would still be playing pong, on top of that without hardware progression we would still be playing... pong...
molten coral
We shouldn't be even playing pong if that is the case
we all should be outside playing with a ball
or play cards
west willow
board games maybe
prime jasper
whats outside?
storm osprey
im assuming we at least played videogames and accepted pong as good enough
like sure, switch shows you don need a powerful system for botw, but you still needed hardware progression to even get botw
latent light
botw runs at 720p 30 fps right
storm osprey
undocked, i think docked is 900p but not a stable 30fps
latent light
you can run it on PC with an emulator at 4K above 60 fps pretty easily
storm osprey
didnt it take up until last year to get to that "easily part"?
latent light
when CEMU finally started supporting the Vulkan API, RX 5700XT can run it at 4K 60 fps
storm osprey
on top of that, cant carry around a pc to play on the go
while i hardly do it, the times i do its awesome
latent light
why would anyone play games on the go
storm osprey
car work, doctors appointments, trips
storm osprey
outside of trips the battery will last for car work and doctor appointments
you get like 5 hours on BOTW
other games much longer
and theres a new switch that extended the battery life even further
latent light
they should start using graphene batteries
storm osprey
its kind of weird to compare a 5700xt, a $370+ gpu that is bigger than an entire switch alone and costs more, to a switch that is also mobile
youd probably need to stack 3 or 4 switches to to match a 5700xt actually
no one pays attention to the wii u

there's no use for it anymore with the switch

outside of smash i cant recall anything i actually enjoyed on it

west willow
a lot of game outsell the wii u, too many to name them all
storm osprey
i wanted to find a game that probably shouldnt outsell a whole system that did
west willow
Yeah, but atleast that's one of the best selling games of all time
storm osprey
gta v, one of the best sellings games across many platforms vs spiderman, usually a decent seller exclusive to the ps4
west willow
it's the only nintendo console from that period...
latent light
the most played Sony exclusive is The Last of Us and it doesn't even make it in the top 10 played games on PS3 or PS4 lol
storm osprey
is this vs other games or just exclusives?
latent light
vs all games
storm osprey
oh well yea
west willow
but nobody cares about hardware, right?
latent light
I'm comparing the sales on playstation, not other platforms
west willow
Well, good luck shitposting
storm osprey
you better not be trash talking TLOU
latent light
for example, Black Ops on PS3 sold 3 times the amount of Last of Us
west willow
COD always sells, no matter what
latent light
mw2, mw3, black ops 2, Ghost all outsold it too
elder bane
COD IW the worst marketing COD
boom 16 million units sale
BF1 the best marketing BF
storm osprey
nintendo working themselves into a weird spot where cod hardly comes to their system (along with any other 3rd party support) is the only situation where their exclusives are gonna be the major sellers
storm osprey
halo 5 guardians is apparently xbox ones best selling exclusive, i doubt thats passing many other 3rd party games
latent light
Halo 5 was only good for the multiplayer
it ruined the storyline tbh
Infinite is gonna be an alternate take on the storyline iirc

yeah but my fps
are fine
i have microsttuters tho
i have like 130 fps +
but the game has micro stutters every few seconds
storm osprey
sounds like dx12
ivory rivet
yeah it is dx12
west willow
Yeah, I have stutter on DX12 as well, try DX11
storm osprey
so go to dx11, youll get less fps, but it will stutter less
storm osprey
gtx 1080
west willow
yes, especially on nvidea GPUs
supple bane
its not broken its just nvidias gpu's arent optimised for it
ivory rivet
i see
west willow
Although My RX5700XT also has some microstutter on DX12 (atleast on BFV)
ivory rivet
i own
nvidia
so i guess dx12 off
but to turn on
RTX
or so called
ray tracing
you have to use dx12
right?
storm osprey
i have a gsync panel, i wonder if that helps with dx12 stuttering, because i get it but i can ignore it
and i wouldnt suggest rtx for MP
ivory rivet
i mean
with my card
i kinda can
without huge fps
drop
but i guess
i will try dx11
cuz those micro stutters are awful
west willow
if it's a rtx2070 super or 2080 super, maybe. Still a huge fps loss
storm osprey
isnt the fps drop for rtx huge?
supple bane
please stop sending so many messages, just send one.
ivory rivet
its 2080 ti
storm osprey
youll still lose a bunch of frames compared to if you had it off

The fact that Switch overtook XBOX One in sales in less than 3 years is just pure gold.
Well, for what it is.
They do need an upgrade.
1080p OLED display with Nvidia's newest mobile APU would be swell.
4K upscaling.
Most flagship phones are OLED
They could sell two models
They probably will.
Rumor has it, Nintendo will reveal a newer iteration of the console this fall.
Better than XBOX to be fair
Yeah, but it's the same rotation
Halo, Gears, Forza, repeat
Their new IPs have mostly been mediocre or flops
Exactly
Sony just has more AAA development power
This year alone they released Dreams and Nioh 2
Guerrilla
They're a big software developer too. Their former CEO leads Sony EU studios now.
They're porting Decima powered games to PC
And depending how they perform sales wise, we could see more.
Horizon: Zero Dawn & Death Stranding on PC will be beautiful.
I know it was hit or miss, but Death Stranding hit for me. I was weirdly addicted to it.
It was deeper than you'd see at a glance.
Narrative wise it was super weird but really good.
But the social interaction portion was top notch
How joining the network and ranking up increases the social prevalence of the game
But despite having a basically meta of just walking, there was a heavy level of strategy involved. Lots of preparation and thinking.
But once online, you and other players basically attempt to lighten the experience for one another.
I focused on building roads, which really made routine missions easy.
Decima from my understanding is very good with optimization
I expect both to run beautifully on PC
I dropped 93 hours into Death Stranding and about 90 into H:ZD
I like to get immersed
Most hours I've logged into a single player game is Fallout 4 on PC
614 hours
Bruh
I still haven't beat Skyrim
I beat the civil war portion
Just not the Dragonborn questline
Witcher 2 is more streamlined and focused narratively
3 has more open ended side quests
untold tiger
RDR2 runs amazing on PC now
Yeah, I get 60FPS at 4K with fined tuned settings that are better than XBOX One X
And 60FPS at full ultra 1080p
With a GTX 1660 Ti
lofty light
It was just a very bad launch
untold tiger
Completely
But they got it together.
I waited for the Steam release
It's optimized now

i disabled DX12 in the video settings and lowered my motion blur
i limited my fps to 60 too since i dont have a good monitor

prime jasper
@spring hound below 70$
spring hound
Not much of a budget there specially not if you want to use for gaming
prime jasper
@spring hound but if i will buy expansive gpu my cpu will bottleneck
spring hound
Nah if you take a gtx 1060 it will so fine
prime jasper
i am not a hardcore gamer dude 50+ fps is enough for me
west willow
At that budget I would look into used cards. Sometimes you can get a RX570 or RX470 for really cheap . New you only have the RX560 that comes close, but that won't cut it. Otherwise you'll need to hunt for older cards like the R9 280/290, HD7950 (or above), maybe a GTX 970 if you get lucky, ....

As of now, PS5's Backwards Compatibility will feature the Top 100 PS4 games at launch (chosen by Sony), with more PS4 games added later. The rumors of PS1, PS2 and PS3 being compatible are false for now.
storm osprey
backwards compatible is good, but i think its a bit silly too
its like how people cared about tank cosmetics

Xbox Series X backwards compatibility will make games run at higher resolution and 60 fps
Not silly tbh

Just open it up every few months, if you see a layer of dust you clean it.
astral merlin
Ok

yea just depends, i have 4 animals and they are all long haired, so my shit gets dusty/hairy fairly quick
but i still only clean it like every 3 months
you really wont see performance drops unless its REALLY dirty

west willow
Yeah, there needs to be quite a layer on the fans and heatsinks to affect temps in a meaningful way
storm osprey
what case do you have wilhelm/
astral merlin
Uhhhh H510
storm osprey
so you have air intake on the right side and probably underneath, i would just check to make sure those are clear of anything that would inhibit airflow and you should be good
astral merlin
Okie
storm osprey
is there intake on the top too or no?
anyway, wherever there is intake i would just keep those clean and you should be good

thats normal
dont REALLY have to be concerned if those are clean as long as they arent blocked

what mid-high range cpu can the h110 support
elder bane
all the way to i5 7400
west willow
I think either the i7 6700(k) or i7 7700(k) could be good picks. 6th and 7th gen i5's are ok, but pretty lacking in CPU heavy games, because they only have 4 cores and no multithreading.
elder bane
You can fit a 7700 in it
But I wouldn't recommend since each board have different VRM
K series will fit but no overclocking for ya
west willow
Yeah, depends on the board too I guess. Wouldn't pair an i7 k with a really cheap one.
They're kind of overpriced though, maybe consider a used one if you go that route
A new 6700k is still 300eur here : / (at least)
elder bane
thats price kinda shit
west willow
I know
west willow
So either go used or get a new board with a Ryzen CPU
elder bane
An used 7400 is around 100-150
Not worth it
I think he just sell the board
For 40-50 dollars
west willow
Probably the best option, especially since you can get a 1600 or 2600 so easily
west willow
1700 or 2700 are also decent, depends on the use really
Pretty cheap with Zen2 on the market

For gaming, yes. Really depends on how cheap you can get one though

just use prnt screen?

well then upping resolution will do that, but i dont see what you mean by size changing

When I'm pressing Print screen it does nothing
supple bane
it just takes it what ever your screen resolution is

just use 4k for your screenshots then change it back

Thanks @storm osprey @prime jasper @supple bane I appreciate it really really much
Yeah I will
No way I'm gonna play with stuff this small
storm osprey
well you dont have a 4k monitor anyway

@mild bough Obviously PNG, since vectors are always rendered smoother than any other format. Tho usually PNG can cause problems when it comes to 4k rendering and such, as edges often become very rough on certain graphical vectors. That's why often images have to be converted back into JPEG, so that the effect goes away.
PNGs can also be transparent.
nocturne sentinel
Now, do not necessarily take that for granted. It just comes from the experience with Valve's Source filmmaker engine

reboot, try again
mild bough
But like
It spins around so that means it is connected
But in Forza Horizon 4 it doesnt recognize anything
When I press the buttons the mouse cursor just disappears
@prime jasper
prime jasper
restart AFTER you installed it?
prime jasper
contact their tech support then
never used it, and never played that game
or join the forza discord maybe
mild bough
Yeah the Forza discord is more stupid than Peter Griffin when it comes to technology so didn't get any help there

@prime jasperbro my friend has ryzen 5 3rd and gtx 1070 it works fine
@prime jasper yeah but mine its 2rd gen with bit old gpu
i think its gonna bit bottleneck gpu little bit
well that's fine if little bit
H m
I dont think so it will bottleneck
yeah me too
but just my doubt
It should work f9..
yeah i think im gonna stick with that build, ty man
That gpu is very old?
I mean too much used
its GTX 1060 6GB Strix Gaming OC
Online build or offline?
offline
Make sure check gpu properly and test there
ill check it soon
😷
You are making that build for battlefield V
yeah and few games like pubg and destiny
Nicee..
first game i want to play after i finish my build is BF4
miss that game so much
👍
I wanna play bfv ..
oh ok good luck pal, have a good day
Same here

I dont know about 60fps, maybe you could get there by dropping resolution scale
certainly you will have a playable game
prime jasper
I recommend you try origin access basic for 5$ and give it a go
toxic willow
ok
prime jasper
play with the settings and see if you are satisfied
toxic willow
ok
sinful ingot
i think you can play it I have ryzen 5 2600 and vega56 and its almost the same
i think
maybe you need 16gb ram to play it without lags
prime jasper
na, I used to be fine with 8 gigs
sinful ingot
my brother played with 8gb and he had a lot of lags but with16gb its fine
prime jasper
just played at 1600 x 900 50% res scale, I used to have a GT 710 1 gig vram, 8 gigs ram i5
now I have a 980ti OC, 16 gigs ram same cpu
sinful ingot
i have 16gbg ram on highest settings i have about 100 fps rxvega 56 ryzen 5 2600
prime jasper
there are other things that can help like quitting all other applications, managing the task manager, unplugging secondary screens etc, that can make a real difference to BFVs performance
lessen the load on the CPU & GPU
and ram
which one is better, 16gb but with low mhz or more mhz but 8 gb ?
dapper gate
Just tried to connect via Procon on my Battlefield 4 Sever, but it keeps coming, password wrong even though it is correct.
prime jasper
contact your host
we had something similar last year, turned out a member that had access was banned and we forgot to remove his access and he logged in and deleted everything, check all 4 servers, mysql plugins server, procon server, host server & anti cheat server
@dapper gate
dapper gate
have already written to the host as a ticket, still waiting for an answer.
west willow
which one is better, 16gb but with low mhz or more mhz but 8 gb ?
@prime jasper Speed can matter for Ryzen , so it depends on the CPU (for Zen 2 I would recommend at least 3000mhz for example) and also of course how big the difference is. Timings can matter too, if the slower one has better timings it matters less. For intel CPUs I would say get the 16gb for sure.
opaque saddle
3200mhz isnt too much expensive than 3000 from the markets
prime jasper
@west willow yeah i have 2 sticks of 3000mhz 2x4 gb ram in my wishlist
i cant afford 16gigs with higher speed its too expensive in my country
Just get whatever 16 you can afford
8 just isnt enough for games like this

Guys my CPU is always at 100% when playing bf5, but it doesn't affect my game while playing. I'm worried what could be the reason that my cpu is this highly used when playing ?
supple bane
@molten heath what cpu is it ?
molten heath
i5-9600 kf
dapper gate
could you also start a Battlefield 4 server with 2 people? This way you would at least score points among friends and you wouldn't have to wait for 4 people
prime jasper
@molten heath thats normal

You think ? @prime jasper
prime jasper
Yeah, this game can max out a 6 core

anyone knows why my mouse sometimes doesnt respond. when i move it to the left it goes left but when i stop sometimes it keeps going. Its a new problem lol
opaque saddle
Otherwise
Insert to a different USB slot
If not reinstall driver
If it didn’t fix, replace your mouse
final gate
i did that
all of it
the thing is it works with other games but bf5 has a issue
like i just played some CS it was fine
supple bane
what sort of gpu would be used in something like that
i couldnt imagine it being something that highend right ?
like a 580 or similar performance ?
violet plank
actually they use amd professional cards to run that thing,it takes huge cpu/gpu power and lot's of ssd storage
iirc they control each led individual
but if that picture is for real,that's a hardcore admin fail lul
sand phoenix
its literally an oversised television how powerful does it need to be
supple bane
That's my thought
gloomy gyro
I dont think it needs a powerful GPU
supple bane
It depends to be honest. I would assume the resolution on that is insane and it would be decoding video at said resolution. So maybe it would require lots of power
opaque saddle
They have a reliable solution and use that to output across different screens at the same time.

stray needle
Is gaming on a X99, [5960X 4.5GHz] platform in 2020 a disadvantage compared to i9-9900K at 5GHz
i9-9900K got the upper hand but is the extra speed enough to turn the tide in the heat of the battle. In FPS. Head2Head encounters.
supple bane
@stray needle by miles? The 9900k would blow that thing straight out the water. For 800 bucks the 5960x is actually a weak cpu. A ryzen 5 2600 would trade blows with it and a 3600 would beat it out right

@supple bane 5960X is a 5 years old 28nm CPU, what tf do you expected

Suggest a 24inch monitor around 50$
supple bane
you should try get something used for that money
prime jasper
I need Used
opaque saddle
dont know how much will that be in your country tho
better to aim for 1080p 60Hz IPS monitor (120/144Hz cant be that cheap), if you like the colour and viewing angle of an IPS display. can be more likely of getting a 21" TN display for that price. good luck

when i want to change sharpen settings on battlefield v from control panel the setings are not saving anyone can help me?
wary radish
quick question, overclocking my I9- 9900k from 4.9 to 5.0 GHZ, what gain will I get in BF5 or other FPS games?
wary radish
Any noticeable difference apart from the increase in temps?
supple bane
I guess there would be a slight difference but it certainly wouldn't be noticable
Even temperatures. A 100 mhz oc shouldn't make it run that much hotter
wary radish
I see. I havent heard from actual people apart from the reviews I've seen in YT
supple bane
It will improve on synthetic benchmarks but for gaming it wont do much
wary radish
Thanks for confirming that. I guess I'll stick with a 4.9GHZ overclock then
got my voltage clocked in at 1.23v
supple bane
Man Intel is so easy to overclock I can't get my r6 2600 to be stable at 4.1ghz. Even with 1.45v
wary radish
geez, isnt that voltage a bit too high even for AMD chips?
Hve you tried considering changing your Mobo?
supple bane
It's the max voltage for zen 2. Amd reccomend 1.45v for short term bursts and 1.35v for sustained loads
And no I'm not gonna buy a new mobo for the sake of 1 fps
prime jasper
sure the intel is easier to overclock, partially due to the much higher power draw lol
wary radish
Well, you might want to check some similar boards other users are using and see their OC settings
supple bane
Wait is a 9900k tdp 120w or am I pulling this out my arse?
wary radish
I usually do that to get baseline OC vcore and clocks
cant remember let me look it up
supple bane
Ok its 95w. I take that back
wary radish
95
magic sable
anyone else experiencing random crashes?

9900K oc to 5 GHz is pretty damn hot
Around 220 watts
That's like a high-end graphics card

Do you guys believe this shit; my internet provider throttled me down to less than 5Mbps download with an upload of only 650Kbps. I was getting 999ms pings in game! Taking advantage of the dilemma by saving money on my ass because I'm not a mere facebook idiot and am a gamer...a so called power user.

Is anyone playing with ping <20 here?
I have issues with players teleporting, hits not registering, slight rubber banding etc, I have between 20 and 25 ms ping. Didnt' have these issues on wifi with 80 ms.
opaque saddle
i have seen the OCE servers were playing up, was getting 27ms ping but with 0.4-15% pkg loss. switched to USW servers and it works fine tho was getting 200ms ping with ZERO pkg loss. got even more kills than the OCE servers
hard pollen
where can you turn the future frame rendering on in battlefield 1? i don't see an option for it alike battlefield v?
wind laurel
I do not recall it being an option in BF1.
hard pollen
i know as matter of fact it is
alot of people made videos about the renderdevice.renderaheadlimit command
so i believe it is in the game
supple bane
I think you have to change it in the files
sand phoenix
its not visible in the settings menu, but you can change it in the console or in one of the cfg files whatever its called @hard pollen
oh wait he figured it out i suck at reading
sorry for ping

good, i just brought a 2070
storm osprey
what happened to going 5700xt?
storm osprey
whats going on?
supple bane
i know that the events would fold out something like this. i buy card. card no work. i go to take it back, and they are closed.
storm osprey
weird
i got a 5700 mech which is supposedly one of the "ok" models and its fine for me
supple bane
he could install drivers, and it would be fine for 2 hours, then it would crash and then all hell would break lose
randomly fans would just stop spinning, fps would go down to 5, BSOD's, black screens, driver errors the lot
storm osprey
i literally did a clean install and then downloaded drivers
i dont use DDU, i just factory reset windows
supple bane
its too late now anyway, the 2070 is arriving tommorow
sucks, i would have loved to have that extra 10 fps. but its just not worth the risk imo
storm osprey
i got my 5700 for $300 so i cant complain
west willow
I think that was a faulty card and not simply just drivers with the BSODs and stopping fans.
storm osprey
i had games crash but i only have a 450w bronze psu, so im getting a new psu tomorrow to see if it stops crashing
supple bane
i was really tempted to buy a founders edition ngl 
there was one listed in a store just down the road from here for the same price as my gigabyte windforce 2x
i am pretty sure it was second hand tho, as a founders edition 2070 is usually 500 pound (580 usd)
west willow
You're still paying a premium though, still it's probably the safer option these times.
supple bane
mhm
latent light
yeah BSOD issues even after clean install of drivers and windows usually means faulty card
probably unstable power delivery
supple bane
but whats the chance of getting a faulty card ? that chance is not a risk im willing to take tbh
latent light
about 5%
also depends on models
Gigabyte Vega cards had a defective rate of like 20%
EVGA 1000 series cards had around the same numbers in 2016
storm osprey
yea the 2070 beats it, but not by much
storm osprey
yea it looks like 2070 beats the 5700 by like 5%
latent light
Gigabyte purposely put weak components on Vega cards because of Nvidia Partner Program
Nvidia was paying manufacturers to make their products better
this is also why you see very bad coolers on AMD cards like the MSI Armor RX 580
good thing that's gone now
supple bane
yeah i know someone who had an evga 980ti which blew up
right around the power connector
hard pollen
shouldn't the FFR have an impact on my FPS? in battlefield V changing the settings for 1 to 2 added about 20 fps, but in 1 no matter what the setting is on im getting the same, crappy fps 😦
supple bane
what are your pc specs
supple bane
hmm, there isnt reason why FFR wouldnt give a nice boost, i wouldnt be worried if it doesnt tho
side note, that cpu will provide a massive bottleneck on that gpu btw
supple bane
i made the same mistake when i first got into pc gaming, dw.
hard pollen
but i mean i5 7th gen should at least give a smooth 60+ experience right?
cause when it comes to my bf1, it sure doesn't xd
supple bane
well when i had that cpu, i got 50 fps on low settings
hard pollen
it not
take a look at this
i5 6500 averaging 90 fps on ultra!
paired with a 1060...
supple bane
in bf1 i think i got like 70-80 fps ? i dont quite remember
hard pollen
well
i dont haha
i get on battlefield v ultra about 60~
sometimes dropping but at least its playable, battlefield 1... well that's just a whole new buisness
supple bane
do you get really bad lag in the menus ?
hard pollen
not that i have been aware too
supple bane
idk then
hard pollen
ill take a look
supple bane
when i did that it fixed a lot of issues for me
hard pollen
why not change it in game?
supple bane
you cant
hard pollen
wha😂 ?
there is an option for the dx11 thingy
here lemmie take a screenshot
well it doesnt let me take the screen shot, by i can ensure you there is an option for that, and its turned off
supple bane
ok
