If your CPU has integrated graphics, which has VGA output while motherboard supports VGA, it should be possible to use iGPU as internal adapter. You may need to make sure that the iGPU is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings beforehand.

[hasty ether]

Well....

My old blue external is officially dead.

[smoky relic]

F

[hasty ether]

I even named it Dead because I wouldn't be using it anymore.

Sadly the SteamLibrary couldn't be ported over due to Garry's Mod actually being corrupted.

I actually have no idea how but I couldn't port other games for that reason too I believe.

This is the picture I have of the files in that folder when I was doing the transfer.

I didn't mind this going but the other three I didn't want to lose.

I have also deleted everything off of it.

Because I might sell it or recycle it.

I still don't know what to do with it.

[spiral yew]

you could have demo mat use it as target practice

[sand valley]

Cant you just reinstall the games?

Gmod your addons you had will auto install if their all from workshop

[hasty ether]

Well... My Garry's Mod had a few "local" mods....

Soo.......

Rip VCMod.

From what i remember i restarted the pc 2 times before i installed the driver and it turned the monitor on so i think the adapter is good

If no luck can happen tonight ima just give it to IT

[brittle mountain]

is it a branded 1050ti? (like Asus, MSI etc)

[frozen mantle]

when playing games I keep getting a black screen followed by a bug report features for my displays drivers, and today it lead to this

I’m assuming the best thing to do would go down the route of using DDU and reinstalling or should I try something else?

[celest nova]

ehh, you get an error with your display drivers? Look after some artifacts/weird pixels on your screen, if you see them it is most likely that your graphics card fails soon.

Had that with my NVIDIA GeForce 8600M.

[wild star]

Yes, I'd uninstall GPU drivers and install them again (download it from official website).

[mighty idol]

idk why but somehow, newer nvidia graphics driver are less reliable than the older one.....I had to use the version older for kepler card or else it will keep crashing

[frozen mantle]

I did have some artifacting but only when over clocked, but that was only after the drivers had crashed not before

[frozen mantle]

I think this is the same case with AMD I know amd’s haven’t always been stable but up until the last month or so it was and now it isn’t

[mighty idol]

but the weird thing is....it will crash while decoding (youtube/videos and stuff) not while rendering

that's what I'm curious....so I went to older version (471.96 IIRC) and it's working fine....it would crash sometimes but it's rarely happened

[frozen mantle]

Well I ddu’ d it and re installed with week old drivers, didn’t have time to test today but will find out tomorrow

[candid oak]

@kind sapphire sorry ping but apparently i installed a wrong driver lol

[candid oak]

Also u were correct the adapter is the issue not the driver

It has 7 dayd replacement so

[candid oak]

But i still downloaded the wrong one lol

[wild star]

your gpu is overclocked?

[frozen mantle]

[wild star]

have you tried using it without overclock? does it work stable?

[frozen mantle]

I have, I still get issues

[oblique abyss]

any suggestions? roblox uses all of my ram, freezes then it crashes,before it only used 500mb of ram

[dusty timber]

You can reach out to the Roblox support.

[spiral yew]

have you installed ANY mods or anything extra to roblux

[glad orchid]

roblox doesn't use mods

it isn't ets2

[glad orchid]

did you try reinstalling roblox? you may also need to check whether this scenario is replicated across other games

[celest nova]

It does, there are several mods like improving graphics, there're just not that popular

[oblique abyss]

there arent mods in roblox

[oblique abyss]

yup,reinstalled it and it was in all games that i tested (these were SCP 3008,Greenville,Raise a Floppa and PLS DONATE)

also issue fixed itself somehow

i did 2 reinstalls

of roblox

and it fixed it

it now uses like 500mb of ram

[glad orchid]

that's weird 🤨

[oblique abyss]

not 2-3 gb of ram like beamng

[oblique abyss]

yeah...

[wild star]

i'd suggest removing all roblox updates in proper to make roblox forcibly updating.
folder: %localappdata%\Roblox\Versions

[oblique abyss]

fixed itself

roblox fixed itself somehow

[wild star]

and yeah, suggest you to ask for help with roblox not in tmp server 😄

Hey guys, I just bought Blue Yeti Nano. I downloaded blue sharpe and it required an update from version 0.0 to 4.5

It's been stuck on 0% for at least an hour at this point. I have no idea what to do.

The microphone itself is not working. Even Windows dosen't detect it.

Microphone is emiting constant yellow light

[sand valley]

In the Start menu, search for "Change system sounds", open that and go to the "Recording" tab. Does the microphone show up there (if you don't know, try unplugging it and see if the list changes)?

The problem is that it's not there. G Hub and Blue Sherpa can see Yeti Nano but system won't detect it as a micro

Is it listed under Playback?

In which app? In G Hub it's saying "Downloading Packages" for 1,5 hour and Blue Sherpa want's to update driver but 0% after 1,5 hour too...

That's the problem. It's trying to reinstall the drivers (software that tells the computer how to use the device), but it's stopped after uninstalling them so now there are no drivers installed. Try closing out of both apps (terminate them in Task Manager if needed), and then try opening one again (but not both at once, I think they are conflicting with each other) and see if it continues, or try restarting your computer.

I restarted my computer several times. I reinstalled both apps and same thing. I found this in device manager:

[spiral yew]

ren i have the same mic and mine works just fine but i downloaded and updated the blue yeti program first and then downloaded and updated the logitech software

[hasty ether]

G25

H-Shifter

[river flare]

Has anyone here tried out or own the new Thrustmaster T248? I'm looking to upgrade from my Logitech G920. Or maybe another wheel you guys can recommend, like the TMX Pro? I also plan to get the TH8A Shifter with the T-LCM Pedals for the wheels that only come with Gas & Brake and the TSS Handbrake.

My list of choices are

1. Logitech G923
2. Thrustmaster T248
3. Thrustmaster T300RS
4. Thrustmaster TMX Pro
5. Thrustmaster T-GT II

[frozen mantle]

Depending on the games you’re playing upgrading to the G923 likely you won’t see any difference

[river flare]

I mostly play Euro Truck Simulator 2, City Car Driving, Assetto Corsa, and a few other driving simulators.

[frozen mantle]

I don’t think you’d find much, if any, difference with the G923

If I had the option out of those I’d choose the T-GT II but I don’t see the point in replacing just for the sake of a new wheel, personally I’d save up more and get a direct drive

hey

where would i download python 3.7 from thats legit?

[dusty timber]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[sand valley]

ty cj

if something needs 3.7

will downloading 3.10 make it still work or not worth risking?

[dusty timber]

Might not work on newest versions

[sand valley]

okay ty for the help 🙂

i found a lane assist for ets2 so going to try it out 🙂

[sinful monolith]

minor version bumps should be backwards compatible, e.g. 3.10 should run 3.7 code the exact same unless there's been regressions

but both are still supported so it's perfectly fine to guarantee it and go with 3.7

[sand valley]

hm. turns out python wont let me install what i need to :/

[dusty timber]

In case of Python, it doesn't work quite like that

[sand valley]

im wondering if someone here might help me please

i run windows 10

and you know the windows icon it has a search thing next to it right?

for some reason i cant use it? when i click it wont do anything

[dusty timber]

Check the Microsoft Store, you'll be able to delete it from there

[sand valley]

also where would i find pip that i installed for my python? im trying to install something but its saying invalid syntax

ty cj i will check

for some reason python is refusing to install what i need it to :/

[sand valley]

can someone help me with python please?

[sand valley]

does windows have hidden files that are useless to be kept?

for some reason i only have 19gb free on a 220gb windows drive

[sand valley]

i dont understand what you mean

im opening the program python 3.7 and its giving me this error

ugh

tmp discord can you please sort yourself out ffs

or anyone else can help please?

[wild star]

you need to open command line

[sand valley]

okay but i get the same error

this is cmd

[wild star]

this is python IDE

not cmd

[sand valley]

no it isnt

that is cmd

i ran command prompt as admin and typed python then typed the code

[wild star]

press Win+R and type this in it

[sand valley]

General PC Support query:

I bought a new laptop 2 months ago. I just can't connect at all to the ROG Live Service, Epic Games, online servers certain games on Steam (F1 and Assetto Corsa Competizione). Most others do work (ETS, Ubisoft, League of Legends, etc.)

Tried almost everything. Disabled Antivirius and Firewall, reinstalls, checked with ISP, tried a VPN, checked the wifi drivers and all

I know it's most probably my PC, cz when I put the games on a friend's PC, they worked normally. They also used to work normally on my old laptop (before it went kaput)

If it helps, my laptop is an ASUS Rog Strix G15 G513QR ES96. CPU is AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16GB RAM, RTX 3070, 2 TB NvME storage

My last resort is a factory reset (i.e. buy a new Win10 license + MS Office). Anyone could assist with any potential steps before resorting to this?

I'm planning on getting the new F1 but would love this issue resolved first. Backing up will not be much of a problem, and I'd rather finish with this issue asap.

Willing to provide remote access. Kindly ping when replying. Many thanks.

[wild star]

Have you tried purging DNS cache and Winsock?

[random harness]

Yeah about dns, will check winsock when I can and get back to you

[wild star]

You can reset winsock via that command in cmd with admin rights: netsh winsock reset

[random harness]

Think I did try it before, but no harm in trying again

[spiral yew]

@random harness have you tried creating a test windows users account i had to that when xbox gamebar wouldn't work properly

I just got home, quick shower and will check

[random harness]

[random harness]

[hidden shell]

You should try with a vpn to eliminate the possibility that it is a routing issue with your ISP

[random harness]

tried already, was the first thing I thought of after ProMods was blocked for me due to being in a stupid country

[hidden shell]

It's a weird issue, i give you that

[random harness]

Yeah it is. What bugs me is that I copy pasted the files on a friend's PC and it work seamlessly

that's what convinced me that it's a laptop thing

[wild star]

Try setting up custom DNS - I suggest 1.1.1.1

[random harness]

Will try that once I finish downloading some maps

[wild star]

Are you using latest Windows 10/11 version?

[random harness]

Yes, 11

[wild star]

To change DNS servers, open the Control Panel, then go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and click on “Change Adapter Settings”.
You’ll need to change the settings of each network adapter.

[random harness]

I'm on Wifi, so just that one I suppose

[wild star]

By the way, once you change DNS, go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and click on "Fix issues" (can be named differently). Once settings app opens, select "Other..." and then "Connection to the Internet" (can be named differently)

If after that issue persists, try troubleshooting "Network adapter". (I don't think this will help, but we need to look for all the ways)

[random harness]

Appreciate your attempts mate. Didn't work though

[wild star]

Do you have any AV installed (except for Windows Defender)?

Try reinstalling those apps.

[random harness]

Yes, ESET. I tried reinstalling the apps, to no avail. I did try to disable the AV too. All firewall rules are configured to allow traffic on these apps

[wild star]

What parameters did you set when you created the exception for these applications?

Also, open cmd and type:
tracert epicgames.com

tracert qosping-aws-eu-west-3.ol.epicgames.com

Give the results please

[random harness]

any clue what the config for the others are, to test?

[random harness]

Think we're onto something now

[spiral yew]

i've heard that some anti-virus programs prevent you from using certain programs or even accessing browsers

[random harness]

Had the issue even before the AV. even uninstalled it too

Basically I need to identify the 172.30.x.x private network to determine the source

I would assume it's my ISP since my router IP is the first one, but it never worked on any network (multiple) that I tried

if only I could identify the 4th hop

so based on general tracerts, I'm guessing it's failing out there in the wild

[wild star]

Config for firewall?

[wild star]

There are no DNS records for both IPs, means it's probably your ISP

[wild star]

Command prompt that is on right on screenshot, what hostname you tried to trace?

[random harness]

that would be epicgames.com

[random harness]

At any rate, it shouldn't be an ISP issue because on the same network, a device has it all normal but not mine. Tested this at a friend's

[wild star]

Can you access epicgames.com with browser?

[random harness]

Yes. Even filed a support ticket

[wild star]

Is ESET installed on your friend's PC?

[random harness]

Yes. At any rate, I uninstalled it from mine

[wild star]

Open cmd, execute command and give result:
nslookup -debug epicgames.com

[random harness]

here you go

So updates from the EG saga. Their support tell me that based on logs, I am using a VPN program (even though it was disabled). Tomorrow will see if that's that

But I still think that's not it, because the issues were occurring even before I installed any VPN software

[spiral yew]

yea disabling a program doesn't always keep it from disabling certain things

[dusty timber]

Closing the program won't actually close it in some cases.

[spiral yew]

yea check task manager to see if it's really closed or not

[dusty timber]

It might work as a service, actually.

[spiral yew]

yeah sometimes when i think i have closed the xbox desktop app it still shows up on the task manager

[dusty timber]

It that case, there is an Xbox Services, which works independently.

[random harness]

the thing I didn't just close or anything... None was installed.

Anw formatted the laptop entirely, redownloading Windows updates then gna test and see

• Cannot load up from USB HDD (only from USB stick)
• Intel VMD is enabled by default on laptops with DOS
• Lenovo disabled an automatic driver installation from Windows Updates and blocked the access to their support page from Russia

In my case, only keyboard, screen, LAN port and USB works, everything else should be installed from the drivers.

I mean, when installed (and Lenovo update crap disabled), they are a very good work machines. I am buying them for my workplace, and none of them were returned so far.

No update required. Got it

[celest nova]

Well, it is possible 😂

Just got my i5-4590S for 25€ now, gonna drop it into my old H81 Board and get some Performance out of it 😄

[celest nova]

What GPU would you consider with this processor? Got a power supply of max 350W, which one would you go for? Thought for a GTX 950/960 of some sort

[severe sage]

I would say a 960 may be pushing it on power consumption however it would still likely work just fine, you would just have to be careful with overclocking if you are into that. Tbh either option is a good shout for that cpu.

[agile ermine]

a 1050 Ti would be less of a concern in terms of power consumption

while being not that much slower than the 960

[severe sage]

True, and it is also a newer generation so probably has more up to date driver support. Not sure what the price difference between them is though.

[sweet shard]

Hey, i may reupload the drivers for you, if u still need it

[dusty timber]

I know how to use VPN, thanks

[sand valley]

They blocked access to support for russians

I wish countries would understand its not every russians fault. Just 1 and his crazy followers. Unfair that they are blaming an entire country still

Anyone heard any more info about nvidea 4000 series cards? I heard a fair bit and then it seems its gone quiet? 🤔

[brittle mountain]

last rumor i've heard was this

[kind viper]

poor 4070

[agile ermine]

160bit memory bus

F

[severe sage]

160bit? They must be joking.

[hasty ether]

420 Watts?

I mean

Not much of a surprise I just expected a little bit more. for that 4080.

[agile ermine]

What's surprising is the 30w difference between the 4080 and the 4090

[brittle mountain]

from AIB leaks it seems that custom vbios' will push the 4090 up to 600W

Welp, the system is up. Gotta need to wait for a decent GPU now, then I'm gonna sell this machine 😄

It really performs considering its' age and the "S" variant of CPU. Great that this CPU was found in a dumpster and straight up worked

[hasty ether]

Repurposed E-Waste.

[celest nova]

Well, it isn't E-Waste as of the value of the processor, but I agree in terms of repurposed.

[hasty ether]

I mean you did basically find it in a Dumpster.

How do i uncorrupt my .net installs

since just reinstalling isnt a thing you can do for some reason

[mighty idol]

isn't they have repair option?

IIRC there are

[dusty timber]

For msi installs that is

What does "corrupt .net installs" even mean?

[sand valley]

So basically my .net was corrupted not just that also some Cpp library's and I couldn't use two programs due to it turns out the only way is to reset your pc

[hasty ether]

Oof.

[hidden fiber]

Anyone know why my PC is making this buzzing like noise every few minutes?

[severe sage]

Is it a vibration sort of buzzing or just a general buzz?

[hidden fiber]

It's like a electrical buzz same one that would be in a outlet if you know what I mean

[severe sage]

Hmm, it sounds like it might be to do with your power supply. Is there anyway you can tell in which general area it's coming from within your case?

[hidden fiber]

Yup right around the PSU

[severe sage]

Is it a whining noise?

[hidden fiber]

More of a like zzzz

not whining

[severe sage]

It could be coil whine, that sounds quite similar to your problem. Any idea how old your psu is?

[hidden fiber]

6 months

or 7

pretty new

[severe sage]

If it is coil whine, it shouldn't be much of a dangerous problem, more irritating. If not, perhaps try reseating your psu, I've had a buzzing noise purely because it was a bit loose.

[hidden fiber]

kk

thanks

[severe sage]

Perhaps check online if your psu has a history of a buzzing noise and if there are solutions, or if it really is irritating you can try contact the manufacture about it.

However, although coil whine is not inherently dangerous or a bad sign, it could also be a separate more serious problem. Not likely to cause any harm but there is still a possibility as there is with any odd noise^

[hidden fiber]

Doesn't quite matter rn tbh since I'm buying new parts like only thing I'll leave is the CPU but I was curious thx for the help tho

[severe sage]

No problem 🙂

[spiral yew]

I had this happen to me after I changed the thermal paste on a gpu and had the gpu fan connector in the wrong fan connector slot so I would check to see if the gpu fans are spinning

[hidden fiber]

They are for now at least

but I'll check

[spiral yew]

I also use 2 separate power cables for my gpu

[latent aurora]

Sooo, I have a quite awkward question and I think, I can gift me that question to christmas as unanswered, however, is it possible to run a PCIe x1 Soundcard (Creative Soundblaster Z) on USB 3.0 over an adapter somehow? The internal sound card is not satisfying and also for me as a half deaf person, its very silent too. With the Software delivered with the SC was the sound awesomely good, still not oversteered. Or do I have to buy a similar SC, just for USB?

Sooooo - after a bit of researching, its a big nopies - however, USB-DACs are something... now... is a USB-DAC the solution for my "issue"?

[wet elm]

why would you need to run it on USB? does your motherboard not have enough slots or is there not enough space in your case or something else?

[latent aurora]

I doubt I can put it in a Laptop 🙈

[dusty timber]

I have a USB DAC, it works fine. I would rather not use untraditional PCI thingies.

It is pretty common for a better quality sound.

[wet elm]

ah i see didnt think of that

[latent aurora]

Well, since I am mostly on road, I need it portable, thus laptop

the Soundcard is still in my old PC, but its not in use anymore 🙈

[dusty timber]

I have Steinberg UR-12, it worth all the money

Portable DAC is not quite good

[latent aurora]

well, if I am on the road, I do not really listen to music over my laptop, so its okay - but at home I do

[dusty timber]

Technically, smallest USB cards do exist off of Aliexpress, they are literally the size of a USB thumb drive. They are crap though.

[latent aurora]

so it must not be a portable one - was looking for a fix device anyway

to get the most best out of it - preferably not soooo expensive 🙈

[dusty timber]

Well, if it works, it works.
