Welcome to the Dead Boy Detective agency.

Edwin and Charles are best friends, ghosts… and the best detectives on the Mortal plane. They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal and her friend Niko, they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’...

yes weapon debris was an old issue that they never fixed. It gave crashes on neweer GPUs
Glad to see they didn't even try fixing it for next gen

#

A lot of CPU have built in GPU, but I don't know why cyberpunk would use your CPU's built in GPU if you have your own GPU.

inland oasis
#

i love that game

DAD of BOY

restive tusk
#

It's just likely that it detected the iGPU device and noticed driver out of date. Not necessarily that the game is using that for rendering

dry copper
#

found a bug already in fo76 and I haven't even left the char editor

#

Decided to start over. The scroll wheel no longer functions to make eyesockets deeper recessed. You can bulge out eyes but you can't undo that. So the scroll down isn't working out of the box

mental rose
#

Just something I've learned to live with 😄

mental rose
#

Cyberpunk

dry copper
#

Sounds like an improperly installed GPU.

#

What is the gpu?

mental rose
#

RTX 3090

dry copper
#

So you should be able to go into Control Panel and manually "force" the game to recognize the GPU then

#

Simply associate the game in control panel with the GPU

mental rose
dry copper
#

Save and close that and it should read it fine

mental rose
#

Reinstalling Cyberpunk would probably get rid of that dumb warning, since it doesn't do anything

#

But I'm too lazy

dry copper
#

Have you checked to make sure the game is running on your GPU and not the onboard ?

#

Like, check thermals

#

Check the hardware

#

You can even use CPUID to see the cores are engaged

#

It's free and you should have it anyway 😛

mental rose
#

I HIGHLY doubt the game would give me the usual 50fps with my integrated 😄

#

but fine, I'll check

#

CPU's at 90%. Now, it's old at this point (i7 8700k)
GPU's at 32% 8.1gb/32gb VRAM

#

That VRAM usage sounds about right for Cyberpunk

dry copper
#

Cyberpunk shouldn't only be using 32% of your GPU

mental rose
#

Well maybe my CPU's bottlenecking? Like I said, it's old

restive tusk
#

90% cpu? 🤔

#

i mean i play cyberpunk ion a 4th gen tbh

#

2070 super pulls all the work

dry copper
#

I played cyberpunk on an equivalent cpu

#

i5 11600k

restive tusk
#

its not all on ultra, only some things, and DLSS and raytracing is active but still

#

your PC should be able to make more imo

#

maybe mumbles has a point

dry copper
#

Don't accuse me of having a point.

restive tusk
#

it's freaking amazing how much they optimized, CDPR did a great job on that front

dry copper
#

Less points. More malarky

#

...yeah and bethesda can't even fix the controls in FO76

mental rose
#

Ah. It seems Windows task manager doesn't show right values when Cyberpunk's on the background, even with borderless windowed

#

CPU usage went down to 78% when I closed Chrome and GPU is actually at 80% when Cyberpunk is active.
Now granted I did turn on Path Tracing for experiment's sake

restive tusk
#

yea but the game should also display which adapter its using in settings?

#

can also always go to Nvidia panel and make sure on 3d settings that cyberpunk is using the one intended

#

But those numbers sound more reasonable now

YES i believe thats the one

you could play deathmatches on LAN too

playing as an alien hunting my friends was a blast

Ohh man... the chestburster part in the campaign gave me nightmares back then.
Shit was gruesome 🥶

whats awesome too is that you started death match as little worm and had to find host to evolve

this does somewhat look familiar.
It;s hard to tell without seeing the worm stage? maybe you could disable it in settings.

but there were so many games named similarly hard to pinpoint now

dry copper
#

After all these years and there's still no text chat in fo76?

restive tusk
#

isnt it cross platform?

#

maybe its due to issues with rating // getting it approved for other platforms // moderation issue

idk just guessing.
NMS still has no text on console

So im a little underwhelmed by FO4 update

#

Idk what i was expecting, i was just expecting more ig

#

screen space reflections are nice, a bit more model detail and textures, but still feels underwhelming idk

coarse swift
#

What was there to expect?
It was pitched as a next gen update for consoles. PC didnt have much to gain except for mods breaking.

restive tusk
#

idk, i expected TW3 levels of next gen update ig

primal loom
#

I was secretly hoping for FO76's photo mode to be ported over but I wasn't expecting it to happen

coarse swift
#

Yea no lol.

restive tusk
#

either way, yea a teeny bit more detail, but meh

#

The amazing thing though is performance

coarse swift
#

Its basically this: if you're on console, do the update
If not: dont do the update and keep your mods unbroken

restive tusk
#

it's now holding stable at 144 with all maxed and before i dont think i managed that

#

yea, most simpler mods are still working fine.
its the script extender stuff that's borked

#

man i was hoping for at least raytracing.... DLSS ?

Unfortunate there's no UI scaling, my bf's 32:9 monitor still has a borked UI lol

restive tusk
#

yikes

primal loom
#

My 21:9 is fine though

coarse swift
#

I'll probably start playing again

#

Been wanting to commit to the factory building and vault management, never gave it much time back in the day

restive tusk
#

I feel like they did something with dynamic camera and i hate it

restive tusk
#

i don't remember the camre changing FOV dynamicallyt when you start running, but maybe its mandela effect

coarse swift
#

Excited to dig into sim settlements again too

primal loom
#

Another settlement needs your help!

coarse swift
#

Thats a nice mod

restive tusk
#

need mods to even make settlement system not tear your hair though

primal loom
coarse swift
#

Wonder if they finally fixed that one softlock in Sim Settlements 2

primal loom
restive tusk
#

i never tried sims 2

#

but is it even working currently?

#

(yet)

coarse swift
#

I'm not gonna expect much to be working properly for at least a week tbh

restive tusk
#

ye for sure

primal loom
#

Shoutout to the insane production quality on the sim settlement trailers too

#

so cinematic

coarse swift
#

The voice acting is a treat too

restive tusk
#

i tried the first one long time ago.
I saw the improvement on sim 2 took it to a whole new level.
However because it conflicts with so many basic mods i like, i never pulled the trigger on it

primal loom
#

Having to fiddle a decent bit to get FO4 working even with the next gen update, I can't use borderless windowed because my fps drops to 20 on overkill hardware

#

Making me appreciate the tech and QoL improvements FO76 has

coarse swift
#

Most I want from a Fallout mod atm is for people to be more expressive in story quests n whatnot
After you finish Concord in the beginning and after meeting Piper the first time, I feel like there was little to no body expression the rest of the game

restive tusk
#

strange.
well im doing fullscreen now on potato pc

restive tusk
primal loom
#

I also was having constant crashes till I turned off weapon debris

restive tusk
#

yea thats the old bug

#

Nate i thijnk mentioning earlier its still not fixed rofl

primal loom
#

Lol

restive tusk
#

so i left it off

#

maybe ill give it a shot and see

primal loom
#

Love bethesda games, but sometimes they try really hard to make sure you can't play them 😅

restive tusk
#

i never even learnt what it even does

primal loom
#

Working smooth as butter on fullscreen ultra settings now, but crashes if I tab out too long

restive tusk
#

i thought it had to do with particle effects from bullet collision, but i think they still show up with debris off so idk

primal loom
#

Explosion shrapnel

restive tusk
#

hmm ok.
i still see casings flying... do i really need them to collide with the ground?

#

but broski.... my immersion.!!

should i even bother

If they're on sale I'd snag em

If you like the idea of Dark Souls games but think they're too hard and edgy you should try Another Crabs Treasure, lol. It's a Souls-like game where you play as a hermit crab, and it's ridiculously well done 😆
Also has lots of accessibility settings to make the game easier

As is nuka, wasteland and autamatons idk of contraptions is part of automaton

Those 2 were a pain...

I could beat Iguazu in like, 5 seconds.
But Volta was a pain cause he has all the op weapons-

He's got a Zimmermann right?

He has some kind of shotgun, and Songbird

smoky brook

I'm pretty sure he's got Songbirds.

Yeah.

Must be Zimmermann then.

But yeah that was annoying.

I used the flamethrowers a lot against enemy ACs.

Cause they deal straight AP damage without having to stagger first.

So just... Get close and melt em.

how often is it cheaper to just buy a new made in china product than to get parts and fix up your broken one

restive tusk

but seems to be approaching a release at least. so im ecited to get back in

idle saffron
#

Dude in that video sounds like he doesn't know shit about the cost to make a game

#

Factoring in inflation, we pay less for games now than the last 20 years, but they cost far more to make

#

Devs gotta make their money somehow and gamers have proven they like DLC and season passes by purchasing them like crazy

#

Blame your fellow gamers for the practices in place now

inland oasis
#

i blame investors

idle saffron
#

In a capitalist society, voting with your wallet works. Unfortunately we (as in gamers, not us specifically) have voted yes to all the extras

#

Regardless of what investors or a board wants, they will do what makes money

#

If it didn't make money, they would stop out of necessity

inland oasis
#

and because of that greed there influence forces games to be produced like shit and we as players BUY it and are forced to deal with either NOTHING, or bite the bullet and buy it anyways

#

thats not players faults

A choice is a choice

inland oasis

not to a gamer

That's on them

gas is a choice

Yes

but if everyone tried to boycott gas it wouldnt go well

we need gas

but we got feet

so

idle saffron
#

We don't need games, they are a luxury item

inland oasis
#

we dont need cars

#

theyre a convenience

idle saffron
#

Some people do require transit to places, so that's not really accurate

inland oasis
#

the logic being applied to sometyhing else falls short

idle saffron
#

In many places buses or walking or riding isn't an option

inland oasis
#

but thats the point im trying to make

idle saffron
#

But it's always an option to not buy games

inland oasis

as a gamer you dont have a choice of something rly it feels

We aren't talking food here

inland oasis
#

if u wanna game u get whats given

#

thats it

#

not buying doesnt hurt them

#

unless we ALL do it

#

itll never happen

idle saffron
#

No no, we are talking season passes and DLC

#

That's extras

inland oasis
#

point being

idle saffron
#

You don't have to purchase them to play games

inland oasis
#

not buying it wont change them

idle saffron
#

There are about a million games every year

#

Of course it would, if the larger part of gamers didn't buy them

#

If it wasn't profitable they would stop real damn quick

inland oasis
#

they make more money than they need to worry about the people who arent buying. so how is it showing the business anything if we dont buy it

#

the system as a whole is so broken

idle saffron
#

Nah, thinking you need any luxury item in a game is what has done it

#

Gotta buy that horse armor cause reasons

inland oasis
#

thats asaide the point

idle saffron
#

It isn't though

inland oasis
#

regardless of it being needed or not

#

more people get it than the people who wont

idle saffron
#

As long as gamers shell out the money, this will continue

idle saffron
inland oasis
#

thats why i said its broken

#

its corporate greed

idle saffron
#

That's not a businesses fault

inland oasis
#

it kind of is

#

companies choose to be greedy

#

or self suffiecient

idle saffron
#

And gamers have shown no restraint

#

If EA came out with a DLC laden game and people didn't buy it, they would drop it quick

inland oasis
#

thats predatory then

idle saffron
#

Predatory is stealing your money, not offering something you choose to buy

inland oasis
#

taking advantage of a lack of restraint

#

gaming industry is fucked, lol no changing my mind on that

idle saffron
#

People want to push blame on to companies, but they literally provide what people will buy. Don't buy, won't be provided

inland oasis
#

HG is the only good company ive seen

idle saffron
#

Look how quickly Ubi fell back from the NFT stuff, or Xbox with the drm shenanigans years ago

#

Consumers actually control the market, but somewhere along the line we forgot that

inland oasis
#

NFTS are a joke

#

people just know that

idle saffron
#

Now it's buy it anyways and then complain (again this isn't directed at you or anyone in particular)

obtuse reef
inland oasis
#

paying for a picture is the most broad term ive heard for NFTS

idle saffron
#

Good is subjective, and many people enjoy many UBI games

#

I personally can't stand sports games, but I'm sure many would disagree

inland oasis
#

the game yes, them and there business practices? NOOOOO

#

thats the diff

#

the game sales cover the issues

obtuse reef
inland oasis
#

and not buying doesnt do shit

idle saffron
#

It does if it's the majority

obtuse reef
#

Companies just blame it on review bombing

inland oasis
#

good luck getting a majority to not buy a game

idle saffron
#

Then as a business I would carry on as is

inland oasis
#

then it just gets updated n patched nonstop

#

rather thaqn it being a good product it was advertised as

idle saffron
#

HG is actually a great example here

#

People were pissedd so they changed their product

#

Now apply that to DLCs and season passes

obtuse reef
#

But HG actually cares about their players

idle saffron
#

Same result

inland oasis
#

and best part. HG was a RARE cicumstamce

#

u never see that

#

and thats a problem

idle saffron
#

They care about their players for sure, undeniable. They also care about making money and staying in business

obtuse reef
#

I once had to argue with someone that the point of a business is to make money

idle saffron
#

That's the world we live in, so we have to use that to our advantage as consumers

inland oasis
#

they balanced the line between showing they care and ACTUALLY SHOWING it. vs just a pr scheme saying Thank you

idle saffron
#

I agree it isn't going to change anytime soon

#

My point is that blaming the companies is misplaced, it takes more than just them to have the current playing field

#

Everyone involved shares a portion

inland oasis
#

blaming gaming industry as a whole is too broad lol

#

but it is

obtuse reef
#

In other news, Valve remembered that they have a couple of multiplayer games and actually updated CS2

idle saffron
#

Get out, really?

inland oasis
obtuse reef
# idle saffron Get out, really?

They added the ability to pickup dropped weapons from the buy menu, the ability to switch between right and left handed mode with a single keybind and a better crosshair for grenade throwing

idle saffron
#

That's decent

inland oasis
#

"want more?" xD

#

nah hes done arthur hes done

obtuse reef
#

They also nerfed a really unbalanced gun (a full auto shotgun [ironically it’s a semiautomatic shotgun and is animated as such]) that gave $450 a kill on casual, for the low low price of $2,000

#

And then they buffed the taser again

inland oasis
#

never been tazed, thankfully

#

tho i had a friend pepperspray his room before

#

so i guess ive been peppersprayed

obtuse reef
#

TF2 players are probably wondering where their update is, but I think Valve hasn’t noticed the electrical bill yet, so they haven’t shut down those servers

Helldivers and DRG crossover when?

#

I’m sure the dwarves and Helldivers would get along just fine

#

Both are capitalist, both hate bugs and robots, and both get support from orbit

#

The dwarves are just better armed

#

…and armored

austere lance
#

The dwarves would get along with every "Poor underpaid bastard who gets sent into suicide missions" type character 😆

mental rose
#

They'd be part of special missions, where you're infiltrating a Terminid hive to kill the queen or smth.
Or going down into Automaton fabricators to destroy the master AI

obtuse reef
mental rose
#

Basically deep dive missions, pun intended 😄

obtuse reef
#

Only thing that anyone could complain about is the drinking, or lack thereof

#

Depending on who’s doing the complaining

#

Or Steeve. Steeve could become a point of contention

#

The beast master perk would probably affect terminid grunts as well as the glyphids

mental rose
obtuse reef
#

I’m assuming it’d be frowned upon for a helldiver to crack open a cold one while their squad mates are getting eaten alive

#

Also, the Demoman is barely functioning, so bad example of someone drinking on the job going well

austere lance
#

Haven't played DRG in a minute, last time I played I unlocked beer that made me hallucinate ghosts 😆

I remember a big point of conflict when it came to beers was what was the best way to get sober

There are four ways to get sober in DRG, there’s Leaf Lovers (if you drink that I’m feeding you to a dreadnought), there’s Blackout Stout, which knocks you out, making you sober, there’s waiting, and then there’s killing yourself in the barrel hoop

#

Imo, Blackout Stout and obliterating yourself are the best ways to get sober, because drinking Leaf Lovers makes you look like an elf

# worldly vector You mean the tf2 demoman?

yes. He is such an alcoholic that his body quite literally shuts down if he doesn't have ethanol. Not to mention, he does stumble around and act drunk despite that, so he's a scottish man with life threatening alcohol dependency and several high explosives

restive tusk
#

even without having received a graphical update still looks top tier in 2024

inland oasis
#

i dont think itll ever need one

restive tusk
#

and runs optimized even on older rigs ! lol

#

rockstar at least gets that right

inland oasis
#

mine is an olderish one. 1660, i5. 32g RAM. i get 40-50 fps with current settings and thats okay for me. if i lowered like 3-4 specific settings i can hit like 60-70, but i lose alot of the lighting and shadows

#

volumetrics also

restive tusk
#

you got a lot of sharpness going on too

#

crazy

inland oasis
#

casually stable at a smoooth 46 atm

#

Nvidia filter

restive tusk
#

but yea, lowering jsut a couple settings and game runs so smooth

inland oasis
#

i can run the Nvidia filter to sharpen things so i can lower in game settings for less performance hit

#

balances out

#

even tho im playing on mostly med/high, few on low.

#

1080p however tho

restive tusk
#

yea but i mean, considering the specs you just mention

#

its amazing

inland oasis
#

yea. runs better than a few games i have. but what they do that i love is how MANY individual settings u can manipulate

restive tusk
#

CDPR too. TW3 and specially cyberpunk run pretty good eben on old rigs.
as long as you got a low/med range gpu you can still get some pretty high settings

inland oasis
#

yea thats another good one too. especially cyberpunk since u can mod in HD textures

restive tusk
#

its crazy. imagine you had an rtx series xD

#

i have a 2070S on main rig, pulling weight for a 4th gen i5, and still looks great

inland oasis
#

not to mention dlss and fsr programs these days alongside.

restive tusk
#

only 12 GB ddr3 as well, dont ask why

inland oasis
#

i turn on fsr in rdr2 i get nearly 70-80 fps. but the "variable" quality in textures, im too picky. i can see it, bugs me like hell lol.

#

ill be crystal clear but horizons and distances things will look stragely blurred yet pixelated

#

hard to explain

#

"artifacting" idk if thats what its called

restive tusk
#

i don't usually use the fsr dont know how it goes, but dlss you can tweak to reduce when that happens

inland oasis
#

fsr goes from performance to quality also

#

even on quality it does it

#

then has a sharpness slider too

#

doesnt help :/ lmao

restive tusk
#

hmm. i see. maybe its just the way they do it differently

inland oasis
#

yea. native looks better, for a 20fps hit.

#

meh worth it

#

personal preference.

restive tusk
#

of course.
as long as the game is not demanding a very smooth synced frame rate and input latency, i'd prefer a bit more fidelity as well

#

rdr2 doesn't really require that much, at least in single player

#

as long as it doesn't stutter during large action events

inland oasis
#

yea somehow in destiny 2 i get 80-100 fps. and its a BIG difference. but like u said. this is casual and not needed in rdr2

#

any game that convices me as the character to "slow walk" intentionally. doesnt need high fps xD

restive tusk
#

ditto. lol
rdr2 is one of the few games that will indeed convince me to walk slowly sometimes

#

lol

#

pretty immersive at that.

#

i remember some guy in forums complaining how hogwarts legacy you're force to sprint through the halls of the academy

#

going on a rant about how modern rpgs are so un-immersive and everything is like fortnite

#

with arthur you can have fun strolling through town, throwing comments and "howdys" at random npc's and still have a great time

Divinity is really good. I don't find it too dark, it just approaches some touchy dark subjects but in itself it's just about as dark as bg.

I also prefer the combat mechanics / rule book on divinity over the 5e adaptation in bg3.

#

Convinced my bg3 coop group to try Dos2 and they been getting hooked too

#

Only thing dos2 doesn't have is the big budget for graphics, mocap, all the cutscenes. Still has some good VA tho

It may not have as much depth and width in path choices either, but for all purposes it's pretty much like bg3

Asked about Baldur's Gate 3's success during an interview for Kinda Funny, Todd Howard says the folks at Larian "deserve it. Great studio. "They've done great work for a long time. I think there's some people in the industry who look at Larian and say 'oh, look at this overnight success.' Have you played their previous games? I think they did a tremendous job. Obviously in what they delivered as a product, but who they are as a studio. How they go about their work. How they talk about it. I think it's fantastic."

How tho

#

Seems like nothing but praise to me, while correcting people assuming Larian wasn't already successful

shadow tartan
#

I get what he's saying but the reason why they're getting recognition is that they release a more complete product

Same as BG2

Just takes longer instead of being pressured to release and get community to fix your bugs
