[trim rock]

Now if only they'd not have such a draconian anti-cheat but oh well

We all know Linux users are all filthy cheaters

[hardy merlin]

Am sorry
I had no idea you can't use wiki while playing

[mellow garden]

I feel like we're only a couple of years away from DRM solutions requiring UEFI Secure Boot, TPM, HVCI and VBS to be enabled like several anti-cheats already do.

[compact oriole]

Probably

[mellow garden]

GTA VI on PC, probably.

Although I feel like GTA VI on any platform could potentially normalise many things

[hardy merlin]

No real reason to do that
Encryption and central key server is enough
If you tampered with .exe - good luck, game won't run
You don't need SB or TPM to do that

[mellow garden]

If I had to list a few potentials:

• $80 USD base editions
• Digital only for AAA
• ID verification for age restricted online content

Guess we'll see

[trim rock]

They should just require games to be streamed, ez

[compact oriole]

I can promise you that within the next 5 or max 10 years you won't be able to surf the Internet without your I'd tied to you anyway

[hardy merlin]

Will be nice to live without Internet

[compact oriole]

80$ already completely failed after they tried to copy Nintendo next attempt will be gta6 if they do go 80 as well

[mellow garden]

You could argue that's already true given that ISPs and cellular providers make you sign up with a real name, address and payment method (which is usually a bank so they'll have data as well).

Although you could just VPN all the time etc

[compact oriole]

True to an extend, but you can still go on any website

[mellow garden]

Being pedantic aside, the real ID checks are coming to the services directly. 😔

[compact oriole]

Can you tho if websites will just generally require this. Basically the whole western 1st world all started pushing the same idiotic requirement at the same time

[compact oriole]

Just first step to claim it's about kids. We all know it's not the true reason or last step

We are just frogs in water and they're slowly boiling it up so we don't jump

[mellow garden]

#🔌│tech leaking here, probably, but I've done a digital ID verification with my mobile provider. I originally signed up in store anyway and they've got enough identifying information. It does unlock additional account security functions on their mobile app which are used when trying to add/change/remove stuff from your account in-store (and over the phone as well, I think).

[compact oriole]

We headed in a bad direction and I'm starting to doubt von being a sensible solution to most of it

Vpn

[hardy merlin]

Or, you know, protests

[compact oriole]

Ye they clearly work

[sinful cobalt]

[nimble current]

sometimes they clearly do

[hardy merlin]

Online petitions won't do much
Blocking parliament and politician houses will

[compact oriole]

That's why America burning down whole cities or France or the full EU protests for that Internet law a couple years back helped

[nimble current]

barely took collective shout a thousand signatures to get visa/mastercard to go ham with censorship

[compact oriole]

That's a corp tho

Not the govt

The govt isn't scared of image or losing money

[mellow garden]

That's the same as libraries removing books because four people complained

Or when TV companies issue an apology because some granny didn't like a storyline in Eastenders

[mellow garden]

The UK's online petition system has no actual checks to prove you're from the UK. Entering a post code, that you can just Google, and verifying a link from an email isn't good enough IMHO.

[compact oriole]

The last time protesting worked on law implementation.. I don't even remember. 15 years + orilly

[mellow garden]

It really should be tied to the new GOV.UK One Login system that's being developed.

[nimble current]

protesting is probably less efficient today than it used to be though

[compact oriole]

Politicians realized they can do w/e they want. Doesn't matter. People forget quickly

[mellow garden]

Too many bad actors in modern protests that are clearly "feds"

[nimble current]

part of it is probably that people can't come together on a single issue these days

there's so much polarization and the people in power love it

[mellow garden]

The structure of parliament favours a two party system but in reality our views are much better represented by four or five.

[nimble current]

yeah average persons memory seems to be about 2 weeks

[mellow garden]

We'd arguably have a healthier democracy and better political discourse if we changed system.

[compact oriole]

Well that's mostly USA

[mellow garden]

It's also the UK

[compact oriole]

Which is why there's 2 parties but they're split within the parties

[nimble current]

everyone stopped buying teslas for a few months here after elons nazi salute, now model y is a top seller again

[compact oriole]

I didn't even know. I'm only seeing how stupid the UK has been acting at least for 10 years now

And it's getting worse and worse over there esp with censorship

[nimble current]

I want to print out elon saluting stickers and slap on every new tesla I see

[mellow garden]

Tesla ran some good discounts/promotions to get people buying them

[compact oriole]

Damaging other people's property lol

[mellow garden]

They're still a pretty decent electric car to buy, sadly.

[nimble current]

I mean yeah, but their financial support to elon goes to him destabilizing entire countries politics

[hardy merlin]

Tories did whatever they wanted
Labour are wet noodles, are scared to do anything which will lose them numbers and they are losing numbers because of that
Reform spews absolute populist bullshit on the Internet and that makes them a probable winners next election

[nimble current]

its almost as if you shouldn't give money to literal nazis

[compact oriole]

So? They buy the product. They don't sign off on his behaviour? You boutta burn down Disneyland CZ Walt was a straight up Nazi? You destroying iPhones because they use slaves to mine cobalt and kids to build em?

[nimble current]

neither apple or disney have directly tried to interfer with countries elections to my knowledge

and walt disney has been dead for ages, he is not an alive, breathing nazi like elon is

[compact oriole]

Ye idk you can do your lil activism on your own time. Bro using terrorist tactics cz he doesn't agree with a ceo

[nimble current]

it wouldn't really bother me as much if he was just another shitty billionaire, but dude has gone out of his way to poison the entire world with his shitty takes

he literally has his own social media platform to do so

[compact oriole]

Then don't use his product. No reason to fuck with everyday humans who do

[nimble current]

doesn't matter if I use it or not, he's still actively damaging the world I live in

but hey just let him keep doing it, what's the worst that could happen aside from all the crap that's already gone down because of his contributions

[compact oriole]

Fuck with him then, not normies who bought a tesla

Terrorism is never justified

[hardy merlin]

Terrorism?

[compact oriole]

Or just be less online and then you'll realize he's not fucking with anything in your life lol

[hardy merlin]

Sure, ignorance is a bliss, yay

[compact oriole]

Terrifying people by destroying their property so they sell and others don't buy the product. What would you call that

[hardy merlin]

Property destruction
Far far different than terrorism

[nimble current]

ask anyone in the US on medicare/social services if he's done nothing to fuck their lives over lol

his decisions in doge has basically murdered thousands of people

who's the terrorist here exactly

[hardy merlin]

Nobody cares about poor people lol

[nimble current]

yeah that's basically it

[compact oriole]

You, because you take it into your own hands to punish normies for your views. He's basically sanctioned by political entities

I'm not saying that's good. I'm saying there's a difference

[trim rock]

What is this politics in my game chat channel

[nimble current]

am pretty sure a sticker is not terrorism, property damage at most

but yeah didn't say I was literally going to do it, but I would be tempted to ngl

[orchid prism]

Always have been

[nimble current]

we need to bring back shame in society

[hardy merlin]

I would
I have "karny kutas" stickers (lit. "penalty dick") to stick on the windshields when somebody parks incorrectly, for example if someone parks on sidewalk so people can't walk on it

[nimble current]

its not like its still 2016 and there are no alternatives to a tesla, but no these people still went for the brand owned by a nazi

[compact oriole]

idk my point only is that fucking with normies CZ someone else is the devil isn't the way

It's not like every Tesla owner agrees with him. they just wanted a "cool" electric car

Most don't agree

[pastel bolt]

fucking with people who disagree with your views is a good way to make sure they'll never agree with you

[nimble current]

I mean these are valid points but what would you suggest as a better option

clearly elon musk hasn't been deterring enough

a good ol reset is what humanity needs to get back into form

clearly all our tech is getting out of hand so it'd be best to burn it all and start a new save

[hardy merlin]

Instead of fighting with each other we should eat the rich
No one is talking that second healthcare CEO has been shot in June https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-health-care-ceo-46-found-dead-in-baltimore-hotel-family-suspects-murder-8751489/

[sinful cobalt]

i mean US healthcare in a nutshell

[nimble current]

media keepin it on the downlow to avoid inspiring others

[hardy merlin]

Rich know it'd be a class war
They try to make it hard to make it left vs right, men vs women...
And corporate media do everything rich want

[nimble current]

there is no left in the US, there's rightwing af and more rightwing

now go and do the democracy and vote

yeah its funny to compare globally

what's considered the most rightwing party here is probably still further left than the US dems and they are somehow considered too far left there

[compact oriole]

wanted to switch on secure boot for bf6 since i cant open it, go into bios and its already on.. windows says its off and bf6 doesnt open. anyone have an idea how to fix?

[sinful cobalt]

turn it off in bios, get into windows, back into bios turn it on

maybe

[compact oriole]

[fading spade]

Try clearing the keys too
So windows enrolls them again

But try what Tak said first

[compact oriole]

aight

hm so apparently secureboot was on but i didnt have any of those secure boot keys. so i had to set the whole thing to custom, install the keys and after switching it off and on and changing that option it seems to work lol

[mellow garden]

The UEFI should have Microsoft's keys pre-installed?

[compact oriole]

for some reason no keys were installed when i checked, but the option was on somehow

[hot spire]

they changed keys recently if you didnt update bios

[compact oriole]

last bios update was a couple months ago. well either way its fixed now

[maiden tulip]

Lying about being an engineer can get you fined

[compact oriole]

33 min video i expect a murder or smth actually bad. not a guy lying about his job

[cold anvil]

fined

[maiden tulip]

Pretending to be one is illegal

[cold anvil]

like up to 10k CAD

[compact oriole]

misread

[fading spade]

;_;

[compact oriole]

nvm i read the 10k cad just now

[maiden tulip]

It's a regulared profession

Same way that lawyers are regulated

And doctors

[cold anvil]

I see lying about it in a professional situation being fined but I doubt the government would pull up on him for a lie on the internet

[maiden tulip]

Still counts xD

[cold anvil]

[modest estuary]

keys per second, lol
should've prob specified

[sinful cobalt]

LMAO nah its fine i know what KPS stands for i was just joking

[modest estuary]

oh lol

i was just wondering cuz ik there's a good amount of people who are really good at VORGs, and i've been doing a lot of speed training

my max is like 45

[fallow bronze]

TLA 's suuuck

[verbal nymph]

Kps doesn't really matter, what matter is hitting it accurately. But getting more speed is always nice.

[modest estuary]

i have pretty good accuracy
on a 5-almost-6-star endurance chart i got 97%

i mostly play fast songs, tho

so for me KPS matters a lot

[verbal nymph]

😭

I dont play osumania so I don't really know how the judgement is

Fyi I play mostly BMS and sometimes Ez2on/Djmax. The former is insanely dense while the latter is where I go if I want to relax

[verbal nymph]

Should be nice then. Assuming your 320 and 300 ratio is not to 300 sided.

[modest estuary]

i don't know the exact terms 😭
i mostly play fnf (ik, cringe)

is 320 like

worth 100%?

[verbal nymph]

Nothing is cringe as long as you enjoy it

[modest estuary]

my MA ratio is usually 1.5-3:1

[verbal nymph]

Idk, it consistently has 16ms timing window.

[verbal nymph]

What judge

[modest estuary]

marvelous (which is worth 100%, 10ms timing window)

[verbal nymph]

Pretty nice.

[modest estuary]

today, i was playing a really hard song
from the sheer speed and amount of notes it's around 5 stars, idk the exact formula tho
the song has death notes, a TON of spammy patterns, and is also incredibly long
I think it reaches somewhere like 30-34 kps in some sections? for like a solid minute of the song
i died to a death note in the middle of one of those sections 😭

[modest estuary]

update: i just did something leagues better than this 😭

i dont think im ever gonna get a better score lol

should i send the recording? i don't wanna flood chat with too much of this

brave words for someone whose getting banned from call of duty

[small comet]

oh no im getting banned from the other mediocre fps game with yearly releases that i dont even play in multiplayer

[clear osprey]

you’re gonna be missing out on a lot!

[small comet]

yeah i know... im sad to miss out on wasting my time

[clear osprey]

when we’re out here getting fisted by AI players while playing with nicki minaj and the ninja turtles, don’t come crying

[small comet]

idk if thats battlefield, cod, valorant, the finals or fortnite

you just described like 5 games in 1

[proper basin]

pretty sure thats just cod and fortnite combined

[clear osprey]

I bet you’re feeling so much fomo right now

[compact oriole]

those skins..

[proper basin]

Even advanced warfare had better skins

[sinful cobalt]

tbh one of my fav bundle character in cod

[small comet]

na theyd all do it

[compact oriole]

the finals doesnt do crossovers

and all skins you buy are modular

[clear osprey]

call of duty is the gaming equivalent of those fake gas station dick pills

[small comet]

yet

cod also didnt do crossovers for over a decade

[proper basin]

Finals has onesies, finals clears

[compact oriole]

they claim they wont do it and i choose to believe them. who needs crossovers when you can do this

ill just enjoy COD campaigns from the older games

[proper basin]

Like ghosts :)

[small comet]

very much dislike the fact they use the FFA gamemode in story mode now to do open world missions

[clear osprey]

imagine dying in the gulf war just to be represented years later with teletubbies and anime girls

[grizzled quarry]

Mw2019 had some good looking character skins

[outer pollen]

Cod Mobile is the best version we have imo

[small comet]

mainly 1,2 and 4

bo1 and bo2

maybe mw1 and 2 remake

[sinful cobalt]

WAW is great as well (just not on Veteran xD)

[clear osprey]

mw2019 was fucking gas

[small comet]

did that even get a pc release

[compact oriole]

mw2019 was the only new age cod i thought was good

[small comet]

idk why but its a console title in my head

[compact oriole]

before that the original mw is my favorite

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[sinful cobalt]

Cod 3 is the only console title

[clear osprey]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[grizzled quarry]

Easily my #1 operator skin they had

The m4 with this bundle was clean with Damascus as well

[clear osprey]

this and the milsim swat one were what I ran for both my teams

[sinful cobalt]

• Cold War on battle.net

[small comet]

if only their old games werent still 15bucks

like wtf

[grizzled quarry]

I ran this with the black roze skin a lot

[sinful cobalt]

[grizzled quarry]

And the dude with the red leather jacket

That one went hard but was easy to see

[sinful cobalt]

i mean BO2 is still 60 euro LOL

[clear osprey]

@grizzled quarry shit was GAS

[sinful cobalt]

like without sale is 60 euro

[small comet]

ye

its insane

wi might buy the remaining cod titles i didnt have yet on steam during the next sale or so

[sinful cobalt]

https://store.steampowered.com/sub/222/ tbh best cod bundle 30 bucks instead of 60 bucks

[small comet]

invest the 100bucks and play the crap out of them

[clear osprey]

it’s crazy because they clearly have the capacity to produce insanely high quality skins, but they just fucking don’t

[small comet]

i wish 1 and 2 worked better with ultrawide

[clear osprey]

I’ve been convinced for a really long time that they are sabotaging the series from the inside to rebel against their corporate

Might get bo3 on pc

For the zombies

[small comet]

its my main issue with old cod and moh that both hate ultrawide

[sinful cobalt]

i just spent soo much money on cod DLC's its sad

[grizzled quarry]

The shirtless putin went hard asf too

My brother ran that one a lot

[small comet]

[clear osprey]

yeah we all did

[sinful cobalt]

and some in mw22

[small comet]

they made 23 of them?

[sinful cobalt]

no the newest modern warfare 3 is just mw23

bc its the modern warfare remake trilogy

just like why ppl call mw19 that

[clear osprey]

cheeky little 180 while training

i guess im out the loop with the cildren

[clear osprey]

2nd best to mw2019, which I would still be playing if it wasn’t dead

[sinful cobalt]

tbh im still waiting on a another futuristic cod title

[sinful cobalt]

i did enjoyed Infinite Warfare's SP

[small comet]

or the new iw

[sinful cobalt]

either AW or IW

[loud violet]

anfinite warfare

i kinda liked black ops 3 if they didnt turn cod into a slot machine halfway through production

and the story was ass

[sinful cobalt]

tbh the care package system was funny xD

[loud violet]

[small comet]

4, 5 and 6 i kinda liked

[sinful cobalt]

lil gamba

[small comet]

although 6 also did the BS open world missions

[sinful cobalt]

tho bo6 did it right

[clear osprey]

cod games come with stories?

mw2019 story was almost as good as its multiplayer

[small comet]

better than the new mw3

sure

[sinful cobalt]

yeah xD

[compact oriole]

i played all the old cod stories. used to love em as a kid

[sinful cobalt]

that was ass and weird

[small comet]

i still think cod doesnt lend itself well to open world missions

[sinful cobalt]

even in zombies cod is just not that great with open world stuff other than BR but thats something else again

[clear osprey]

just wanna share some nice shots

[compact oriole]

nah. cod is better wiht linear levels and honestly these days for almost all games i prefer actually handbuild linear levels than open world crap

[sinful cobalt]

tho still one of my proudest 100% achievement wise

[compact oriole]

most open world games are as big as the ocean and as deep as a puddle

[small comet]

yeah i mean i got nothing against a good open world game

but the keyword is good

give me another fc3

[compact oriole]

the last good open world game i played in a LONG time is elden ring

[sinful cobalt]

i do enjoy the semi-open world games as well

[small comet]

for me its prob TQ/TQ2 or a borderlands game

[hasty shore]

Basically samantha and maxis then invictus and basically big bad shadow man and then he get destroyed

[compact oriole]

ye borderlands mostly also felt good

[small comet]

ah random names i dont know and smth got destroyed

[compact oriole]

bl2 my beloved. handsome jack is one of my all time favorite villains

[small comet]

ngl i like presequel more

[hasty shore]

Pretty much

[sinful cobalt]

Borderlands 2 is still my favorite, even tho im not a big borderlands fan

[compact oriole]

jacks backstory in the presequels was interesting

[small comet]

i mean in general the jack content is always nice

even in bl3

[compact oriole]

i dont remember anymore. the base game for bl3 had jack content?

[small comet]

na its dlc

[compact oriole]

oh damn. ye im not gonna open that game again tho

[small comet]

https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Moxxi's_Heist_of_the_Handsome_Jackpot

[compact oriole]

i was so disappointed in the story..

[small comet]

same

i think i finished TVHM and then just dropped the game

[compact oriole]

i kinda farmed some "endgame" on some insanely OP build where i killed every boss in seconds and then quit

[sinful cobalt]

i mean i never really understood whats good about Borderlands LMAO

[small comet]

mainly the endgame

when you do op levels

[compact oriole]

honestly the game was carried by coop and the humor if you enjoyed it

[small comet]

yes

[compact oriole]

i wouldve never finished a bl on my own

[small comet]

that too

ill look the other way for that statement

[compact oriole]

i mean its hard to say if i would have but definitely the coop is what made it so fun for me

after bl3 i also have no faith in bl4 either. its gonna be a skip for me 🙁

[sinful cobalt]

tbh im the only one who kinda wanna see another Dishonored game

[small comet]

idk dishonored 2 was a bit low for me as a sequel

[compact oriole]

i loved d1 but i was never able to finish d2 and 3

d2 had such a terrible launch on PC and later on i just didnt feel it anymore

[sinful cobalt]

the only game where i enjoyed Endgame farm is Shadow Warrior 2

[compact oriole]

i tried dishonored 2 like 2 weeks ago and somehow it bugged when youre trying to leave the hidden chamber and i quit

the door didnt wanna open lol

[sinful cobalt]

i mean yeah DH2 is buggy af

tho thats how i managed to make infinite money xD

[compact oriole]

[sinful cobalt]

i want more Portal 2 custom mods

[compact oriole]

hm i could maybe replay portal 2 again some day

but i feel like thats another one of those where you cant recapture the magic from back then

[sinful cobalt]

i do replay Portal 2 yearly

i just do it faster and faster each time

[compact oriole]

I cant wait to get home and play it

[compact oriole]

Thought it was coming up

[vivid wharf]

actual games open in 1h 42m

[compact oriole]

Oh that's the q to the menu?

[vivid wharf]

yeah lmao, seems like its gonna ramp up closer to start

[compact oriole]

People are hyped

[vivid wharf]

finally a game without ninja tutrles skins

[gilded sleet]

yeah no queue when I logged in just now

They probs scaled the servers right before launch happens

[vivid wharf]

yeah and maybe in 2 days when the weekend beta starts its gonna be even bigger

[gilded sleet]

Oh forsure

I'm sure they have metrics for seeing how many people have codes/ how many they've given out for the Early Access portion

as always

[compact oriole]

Is he talking with a csr here or someone with more pull?

[hardy merlin]

[lucid brook]

Until you cannot launch your multiplayer games on Linux because of anticheats 😅

[sinful cobalt]

I mean they where doing some maintenance yesterday on the backend

From an EA staff thats what they told us

[compact oriole]

Bf6 won't work on Linux apparently

[outer pollen]

Good we don't need cheaters

[orchid prism]

[outer pollen]

[lucid brook]

Oh for sure, the multiplayer game lets you play the "singleplayer" part, maybe even get into the menu, but as soon as anything with the anticheat starts playing you are immediately yeeted

[orchid prism]

I am entirely unsurprised - And it doesn't affect me in any way. Wasn't going to play it on any platform anyway.

[hardy merlin]

Same

[hardy merlin]

That's... the point of the meme
Not playing multiplayer anymore to keep using old PC with Linux

[orchid prism]

Literally me.

[hardy merlin]

Yeah

Only multiplayer is with frens

I don't have time to play against kids with ADHD playing 16 hours every day deluding themselves they'll be a pro in the future nor people with more money than brains who just buy cheats and new copies of games whenever they get banned

[orchid prism]

I honestly haven't played anything like that since... MW2 and Bad Company 2 I think.

Did a tiny bit of Warzone early on, but only with friends.

And of course a bunch of milsim stuff with clan, but that was also years ago at this point.

[hardy merlin]

I played BFV* and it was really fun... until we found a group of cheaters that would consistently go 100-0

I’m just playing FFXIV and Switch 2 games while the boys struggle to get a WoW raid group together every week.

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh i need to finish FF16 as well lul

I stopped after i get into the forest area bc my fps dropped from 90 to 30

[rotund adder]

Thanks to very interested players in one character we have interesting stuff in 3d modeling

[hardy merlin]

I stopped after I realized that I have to "cast" stone throw for 1.5s and can't move during that

Maybe story is okay, I dunno
But combat is ass, and I'll be spending most of the time fighting, it's MMORPG after all

[sinful cobalt]

There are a few games that do that

[hardy merlin]

But I hate RPGs/MMORPGs that do that, like to cast everything
And worst of all you can't move during that, it sucks, you are just standing in place and exchanging blows with enemy, it's boring
Maybe I'm spoiled with GW2 combat system, I dunno, but GW2 feels more like an actual action RPG and not mindless pressing buttons in order how it said on meta guide

Free GTA V on Epic caused several outages and was beating down EGS for few days

[sinful cobalt]

[small comet]

the real question is if its legacy or enhanced

[outer pollen]

How's the game @clear osprey

[sinful cobalt]

Maybe he is still in the queue

[vivid wharf]

the queue went quite fast for my friend, it was like 170k

took like 10 minutes

I think a lot of people are baited to restart the game when changing graphics just to get put back in the queue

[hardy merlin]

There wasn't Legacy or Enhanced back then
And all owners got Enhanced for free

[clear osprey]

https://youtu.be/4xYj1JBwLfg Game seems to be optimized, close to 120fps 4k max DLAA setting on 5090 + 9800x3d.

[outer pollen]

I wonder how much I'll get with a 4090

[compact oriole]

So is that good optimization when you don't have the best pc money can buy?

[outer pollen]

6gb of vram for 1080p at 30fps

[compact oriole]

I hope I can reach 90 at least

3080 at 1440p 21:9

Game can't possibly be worse than all the ue5 games

2k med setting at 120fps hopefully on 4070tiS 5700x3d

I’ll be sure to just record directly tomorrow 🫡

[hardy merlin]

I don't want anyone see asking to buy a capture card or second card for recording if y'all be uploading clips in 360p

[sinful cobalt]

This looks better than the previous one compression wise

[sinful cobalt]

Soo any capture card recommendations or 2nd gpu recommendations for 360p clips

I hate the new app and in general never liked downloading drivers on it

I ddu my drivers

[orchid prism]

New app much better than old app

[fierce bay]

Ok 🤷🏻‍♂️ I find it a better experience for editing settings I’d otherwise tweak in nvidia control panel

[bleak pike]

its ass

plagued witrh issues

[orchid prism]

Haven't had a single issue so far. And beats the old, ass XP era control panel 😄

[fierce bay]

Never experienced issues

[mellow garden]

Given that the NVIDIA App will eventually be replacing the NVCP, you're going to need it sooner or later.

[fierce bay]

Thissssss

[orchid prism]

nVidia's issues are with the rendering - which is a Microsoft/Nvidia shitfest you need to fix with regedit.

[bleak pike]

i dont disagree but they binned experience which just worked

[orchid prism]

Imagine preferring shitty Experience. fr fr ong

[bleak pike]

The Nvidia app merged everything and it just breaks replay etc, im not the only person having issues either.

[bleak pike]

if the new one worked without issues...

Go to the forums, you will see tons of issues.

[fierce bay]

Now, I never use the performance page on Nvidia app. Msi afterburner is still much better

[orchid prism]

skill ish

[bleak pike]

i dont disagree the improvments are great

But shit broke

[small comet]

for me its more i had to circle back once for a squeeze through section and once for a door prompt

[bleak pike]

Nvidia replay is a mess on the newer version

eg its impossible to load directories to record to if you have a network drive.

And you cant use network drives or folders syncs in general

[small comet]

also solid intro

really like it so far

[bleak pike]

ffs

[grizzled bramble]

When opening gates it gets choppy or starting a ''mission''

[bleak pike]

it forced updated the app

[grizzled bramble]

Yes

[fierce bay]

I use Steam to record anything because it can record 120min of video before you hit record

I think I have mine set to 30min

[bleak pike]

Steam impacts perf and the quality is not as good

ALso i dont need 120m, i use 2.5m on replay xd

[fierce bay]

I’ve been cooled down on cs2 from teammates I LFG’d with being caught cheating and it doesn’t save the game, so I want the clip from Steam to report the MFer.

[bleak pike]

thats fair

[fierce bay]

I run 5090 with fps capped at 240Hz, so it’s got plenty of headroom to run more intensive software

[fierce bay]

Also, look at the GPU power % on each. Something else appears to be going on.

[bleak pike]

Well ye

[fierce bay]

Reminds me of the issue with cod only using like 70% gpu cap on steam but 100% elsewhere

[bleak pike]

replay uses nvidias tech

Steam can too

NVDEC

Steam i dont think uses it as much as obs and replay

[lucid brook]

Obviously Shadowplay or whatever it's called now is going to have the least impact on FPS, it uses NvFBC

[bleak pike]

ye

obs can use that to o

idk why the numbers are so bad for obs

[lucid brook]

OBS and Steam use NVENC, not NvFBC

[fierce bay]

I turned recording off for obs. If I’m streaming, I can let said platform store those vods

[mellow garden]

I find it wild that Steam will save HDR screenshots in the AVIF format but won't let you record in AV1.

[fierce bay]

Prob will down the road

Is this over sharp or is it just me

[fierce bay]

Nah looks good

[lucid brook]

Welcome to modern gaming

[proper basin]

default is 50 sharp, you can lower

[bleak pike]

i was brave to think i could play on ultra

[fierce bay]

I get like 215fps on ultra preset

[bleak pike]

im getting 40-60

[fierce bay]

Swapped it to high with dlss quality to be stable at 224

[fierce bay]

What model

[lucid brook]

I'm giving up on trying to get this to run, nothing seems to fix the GPU downclocking randomly

[sinful cobalt]

im happy with 120 at ultra

[bleak pike]

with dlss

and 3080

[hot spire]

its amazing how one guy is basicly the king of mp fps games

[verbal nymph]

same, it feels nice at 2k 120fps

[hot spire]

like literally the top 10 mp shooters, and the dude made over half

[fierce bay]

You should be able to get 120 with dlss performance, and high settings if on 4k.

[verbal nymph]

I do need to reduce my gpu power usage to 200w to make my room heat bearable

[fierce bay]

Sounds like an undervolt is in your near future

[bleak pike]

im guessing my fps

[verbal nymph]

I think I already did it on my cpu, it's locked in at 70w. My gpu, I forgor because of my other game aren't this GPU intensive

[bleak pike]

my perf overlay no waork

[fierce bay]

Dropped 5090 to 450w max on benchmarks. Running about 300w in game

[fierce bay]

Hit alt+r

[bleak pike]

i am

[maiden tulip]

Use steam's perf overlay

You dumbo

[bleak pike]

im not using stea,

[grizzled bramble]

Gaming in the summer sucks to have room heaters but i usually stay out during the days and game on the evenings when it's cooler

[fierce bay]

Maybe secure boot is preventing it

[sinful cobalt]

pwetty cool

[maiden tulip]

Ok then

Enjoy not having one

[bleak pike]

my early access is only ea

[fierce bay]

The updated overlay is niceeee

[hot spire]

nope

its early on everyhting

[fierce bay]

Nah it’s not

[maiden tulip]

Works on steam if your accounts are linked

[bleak pike]

hmm

[fierce bay]

Whatever you have linked to your ea

[hot spire]

just link steam to ea.com

[bleak pike]

ill check it out

[sinful cobalt]

im playing via steam tho

[fierce bay]

Also, if you want to buy bf6 on steam, get ea pass for 99¢ first and it’ll give you like 10% off the game.

[maiden tulip]

Hiw about we dont preorder

A battlefield game

They battlefooled us all before

[bleak pike]

whatsd the folder name on steam

its not detecting my files

[verbal nymph]
