[mortal zealot]

what

[slender sable]

I had to close it cuz it's almost 80oC

[bitter ravine]

did u download something?

[slender sable]

Idk waht happened

Nope

[mortal zealot]

not a virus, it says the website that you're going to is not secure

[slender sable]

Idk man it won't load

[mortal zealot]

it's just blockiing you from it to protect you from potential virus or scam ect

[slender sable]

Hmm

Oo it turned my chrome to uhh

Idk waht it's called

[mortal zealot]

what

[slender sable]

A sussy search engine

[bitter ravine]

blue chrome?

[mortal zealot]

huh

[odd wedge]

Edge

[slender sable]

It replaced my search engine

[mortal zealot]

XD

[slender sable]

Nope

[odd wedge]

Bing

[bitter ravine]

[slender sable]

No

[bitter ravine]

chromium?

[mortal zealot]

bing in edge

[slender sable]

Nope

[mortal zealot]

um

what

opera???

xd

[wind lichen]

name of the search engine?

wait wth

[bitter ravine]

duck duck go?

[slender sable]

It's like those Chinese malware search engine

[odd wedge]

Baidu?

[slender sable]

Yea

[slender sable]

Something like so

[wind lichen]

slander (not a bad search engine)

[odd wedge]

Bro just send the name or something

[bitter ravine]

[slender sable]

It disconnected 😦

[mortal zealot]

um

[slender sable]

My pc too hot to operate

[mortal zealot]

windows 8?

[slender sable]

Yes

[wind lichen]

either way you totally have something

[mortal zealot]

yeah

[slender sable]

Also my pc has weird sussy things I nevered dowload

[mortal zealot]

if theres nothing important on in might as well wipe the the disk clean and iinstall windows 10 for cope

[odd wedge]

I'd reinstall Windows or just change a new device

[mortal zealot]

send a pic?

[slender sable]

Deleted

[mortal zealot]

[slender sable]

It was like a antivirus

[mortal zealot]

xd

[wind lichen]

data backup will be rather risky though without proper tools

[slender sable]

Yoo I think my pc

[odd wedge]

Do you have important stuff tho

[slender sable]

Old kid pictures

[wind lichen]

yeah that's life important

[slender sable]

Yee

I think I should buy new one

I just found out some keys don't not work

[mortal zealot]

anything u can transfer those pics to? like a usb stick

[wind lichen]

your PC needs a reinstall of windows I'd say

[bitter ravine]

idk change linux imo

[slender sable]

Fr?

[wind lichen]

i hate to throw away tech that still works

[mortal zealot]

just take it to a repair shop and get the keyboard replaced, old laptops have replacable ones

[slender sable]

Oka

[mortal zealot]

might be better for you actually, with that disk

linux I mean

[wind lichen]

ordering the stuff and replacing it yourself will be cheaper, but if you got the money better let it do experienced people

[slender sable]

Wait is it Normal to have it startup for 5 minutes

[mortal zealot]

yes, with old HDDs

[wind lichen]

depends

like really depends on what software is in startup

[mortal zealot]

I had a start up for one DAMNED hour becaus of one.....

[slender sable]

Hmmm

[wind lichen]

HDDs can have a fine boot time

[mortal zealot]

I mean old ones

[wind lichen]

on windows 8 it got worse but still managable boot times

[slender sable]

What is hdd full name

[mortal zealot]

12 year old have hellish boot time

[bitter ravine]

hard solid state drive

[mortal zealot]

his is 15 year old

[mortal zealot]

no need for 'hard'

[wind lichen]

hard disk drive

[mortal zealot]

just say SSD

[wind lichen]

SSD is solid state drive

[mortal zealot]

yes

[bitter ravine]

shit i forgor

[mortal zealot]

[mortal zealot]

npnp

[wind lichen]

you will see the difference by HDDs being more like DVDs on the inside, while SSDs are like USBs

[mortal zealot]

USB actually uses SSD tech

so its actually just a small SSD

u prolly know tho

xd

[bitter ravine]

i remember to not pick up your laptop while its on if is using hdd i forget why thou

[wind lichen]

Nah, just don't drop it

[slender sable]

Hmmm

When did they use ssd lol

[wind lichen]

because mechanical parts can break

[wind lichen]

they became more common for consumers in the 2010s onward

but actually invented in 1994

they just sucked back then, still needed a lot of work

[mortal zealot]

they had a data loss problem too

you had to regularly use them

so HDD was still better back then

[wind lichen]

HDDs are technically more robust for backups still

as long as the mechanics don't break, they last pretty much forever

usually the case for 3.5 inch server grade hdds

but 2.5 are also robust, just don't drop them

[mortal zealot]

btw, this should be a good enough SSD for you

[wind lichen]

hm i don't know this branding

[mortal zealot]

I searching for kingston but doesnt give me it

idk why

[wind lichen]

and samsung?

[mortal zealot]

so the next best thing it is

[mortal zealot]

not specifically but no samsung here too, but I thibk I've heard of lexar b4

but prolly should just buy a samsung or kingston

[wind lichen]

they made good ssds too actually

best you find a price comparison tech website

maybe there is one or two for SEA

[mortal zealot]

amazon shows lexar as a top brand btw

[mortal zealot]

yeah

but I'm recommending it for @slender sable

not in immediate need for SSD rn

but @slender sable you can still use that HDD for storage after u switch to SSD

or just make it a boot drive like I did xd

.........just realised none of this was a Hi3 realated issue, and non Hi3 tech issues are for #off-topic-discussion

sry moots

[wind lichen]

just to finish this topic properly, i would stay skeptical. Always research the brands and check the reviews for stuff you recommend on more than one place.

Lexar looks fine on surface level though

[mortal zealot]

@slender sable if u have any more issues like this just ping ram or me in #off-topic-discussion

[wind lichen]

yeah always ready to help with that if I have the time

[upper parcel]

Listening to Amazon recs is crazy

[mortal zealot]

Ik

just telling

idk

[upper parcel]

Anyway, Smasnugs are good, but iirc they're noticeably more expensive than other options

Kingstons are the best bang for the buck

[mortal zealot]

therefore kingston is also fine

anyway enough off topic stuff i don wanna be cabbaged

[upper parcel]

Using Amazon in the first place is crazy

[upper parcel]

Afaik as long as it's tech-related it's fine

[mortal zealot]

nah I think it tech stuff releated to Hi3

idk lemme check

no given statement that it's only Hi3 releated stuff so I think it's fine maybe

[mortal zealot]

ye piyo says this channel for hi3, so better to go to #off-topic-discussion for no hi3 releated stuff

[upper parcel]

While Slothy and Luna said before that discussing tech stuff is fine
The #off-topic-discussion route makes more sense ofc

[mortal zealot]

idk who to trust now

prof or mod

[bitter ravine]

me

[mortal zealot]

u weren't beaned?

[bitter ravine]

i cameback

[wary temple]

I said the same tho and your question was not HI3 gaming enviroment
you asked me if tech talk that has no relation to HI3 should be in #🔌technical-help

no time backread

[wind lichen]

i'll say an example: PC is 15 years old, has an HDD and search engine in their browser is probably hijacked

we figured that out from hi3 related tech questions

[mortal zealot]

how was it hi3 realated tho?

as far as I remember no hi3 releated questions were asked

by either party

[wind lichen]

okay i should've backread

[mortal zealot]

[wind lichen]

you're right, just thought that suggesting the general stuff is still kinda my duty of knowing a bunch of IT

[mortal zealot]

well it is yours, but here only hi3 releated stuff

[wind lichen]

ignoring feels simply wrong

[mortal zealot]

if it helps in a hi3 releated situation the go for it

[wind lichen]

kinda the end goal here i'd say. making the game run

and run as well as possible

[bitter ravine]

#🔌technical-help message

[mortal zealot]

like if it gives better performance in general, that includes hi3, then some other tips should be fine to give I think

[mortal zealot]

piyo help

I'm confused

[wind lichen]

Luna would agree with me then

[mortal zealot]

who to believe MOD or Prof

star

[wary temple]

I believe I don't need to rephrase
I said the same. side tracking doesn't get you shot on the spot
and next time please ask with context, not setting us up

[mortal zealot]

not setting u up, not my intention at all

also was just confused

thnx

[wind lichen]

context always helps with problem solving

no matter what

[mortal zealot]

yeah

welp enough yap

[bitter ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/hibike-anime-anime-yapping-yap-shut-up-gif-14097572782261890092

[wary temple]

no worries I will set you on cabbage pot some time
anyways off-topic

[mortal zealot]

[stoic reef]

@wind lichen @slender sable this server isn't run like prison, a little off topic is fine in general and by a little I mean short lived.

The purpose of this channel is for hi3 technical help. If getting someone better performance on their PC to help get hi3 to open that's fine as long as it doesn't turn into a long discussion that deviates from the purpose of here as a help channel for hi3.

Tldr is a little short lived tech talk is fine every now and then in the spirit of how conversations work but this channel is not your personal permanent free tech support for every electronic device whether or not you're playing hi3 on that device if that helps clear it up

[mortal zealot]

ok thnx Luna

[stoic reef]

Np

[mortal zealot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/424048089045663744.webp?size=96

[wind lichen]

yea that clears it up a lot

[bitter ravine]

[vapid mesa]

[mortal zealot]

sir this is a no smoking zone

[sacred nest]

if I got crystals deducted but im above 0 am I good

I think my bank refunded it automatically but i barely play hi3 so im not tryna buy more again

[gilded birch]

yaur u are 🆗 if you are not in the negatives

[odd wedge]

Also look out just in case
#🔌technical-help message

[lunar gust]

wow they changed the malicious refund notice, now with better grammar

[wispy void]

Guys no mouse cursor, how am I supposed to navigate??

[bitter ravine]

is it possible that u have OBS or any recording software on?

[wispy void]

Oh ya outplayed which worked automatically

Let me see if I can turn it off

[bitter ravine]

try it

[wispy void]

It worked

[stoic reef]

noice!

[wispy void]

Then stopped

[stoic reef]

oh

do you play on the epic version by any chance?

[wispy void]

Ya?

[stoic reef]

oh yeah thats way better gramatically than previous ones

[wispy void]

Outplayed keep showing up for some reason or is it something else?

[stoic reef]

makes sense, theres a long term epic issue with games in general with stealing the mouse cursor, basically its overlay sometimes comes up, but is invisible and steals the cursor

lemme find the fix real quick

here it is, as far as i know this link's fix still works https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/dwhc6b/epic_store_mouse_cursor_fix_for_new_114_patch/

[wispy void]

Alright thanks, next time it happens I will use this method

Which Is now

[stoic reef]

Okie and np!

ah well that was fast, at least you dont have to go looking for the link in the future lol

[bitter ravine]

bruh i found the same link

[wispy void]

I mean when the game boot the cursor appear but once it ask me to login it dissappear again

[bitter ravine]

[stoic reef]

mhmm, typically overlays dont pop up for a minute or so when the game first loads

[wispy void]

Finally it worked

Thanks

[stoic reef]

[bitter ravine]

[slender sable]

I wonder why my data is slow but my hotspot shared is damn fast

[mortal zealot]

idk much abt phones sry

[teal bloom]

someone help me, my account is not registered what should i do?

[cosmic lion]

When was the last time you played the game and what error msg are you getting exactly

[cosmic lion]

Wdym exactly? Your internet is slower on your device but if you enable tethering go faster on others?

[stoic reef]

I'd check with your phones service provider, some of them have different speeds for data and hotspot usage

[round linden]

Question chat, why am I having this error? I just got this new phone but this error keeps appearing. This is the first time that this has happened. This didn't happen on my other devices

When I refresh or restart the app and phone, it still gives me that error. I don't wanna lose my 1800+ login streak

[lunar gust]

you can log in on the old device if that's still an option

if not, try waiting for a day and if the error is still there, contact CS - #how-to-contact-cs

[teal bloom]

I last played around 2024 and I didn't get any notifications

[cosmic lion]

But what is the error that you are getting when you try to login? Because there are different issues (wrong username/using "account retrieve" incorrectly/3rd party-email login mistake/too many request/etc.) and if you shared the error msg/explain more your issue, we can guide you on what to do

[cosmic lion]

are you using the username to login or email?

[teal bloom]

email

[cosmic lion]

do you remember your HI3 UID? (you dont have to send it here)

[teal bloom]

yes i remember it

[cosmic lion]

ok contact CS via email and tell them that you dont remember how you login to your account (send them your UID) #how-to-contact-cs
they will answer with a clue of the email/3rd party login that is currently link to the account (like "is link to em**@il.com"*), if you recognize it try to login with that info
if you dont know the info that is link to it, tell them about it and they will start a recovery process (and if that is the case check your email, because most likely is compromised)

[teal bloom]

Ok, thank you

[slender sable]

Yea

[slender sable]

Oh tq

So I have a question, why the videos watched in hi3 the app itself is so laggy but youtube videos doesn't lag

Those pv

[stoic reef]

Iho

[stoic reef]

the pv trailers while the game is updating? its because your phones busy downloading and updating the game while the video is playing

[slender sable]

After it installed it still lags idk why

[stoic reef]

oh wait you mean any cg, not just the trailer one?

[cosmic lion]

Hi hi

[slender sable]

Yea

[cosmic lion]

Keep in mind that when you playing a vídeo in-game, there are still resources being use in the background, is not just the video playing, so the lower your device specs is, more easily you can get issues with the video playback

Still depending of the "problem" could be a corrupted file too

[slender sable]

Oh

Damn

[slender sable]

Hmm I wonder if I delete honkai and redowload it again will there be more space

[cosmic lion]

If you didn't make a clean install for a couple of ver. you can get some storage space back (current ver. game size: #🔌technical-help message)

But is just that, storage, if is for trying to "fix" the video issues, unless was a corrupted file problem, a reinstall will not fix the issue.

[slender sable]

Wow my game just crashed :/

[slender sable]

Oh OK thanks

[stoic reef]

It's this still on your matepad t? It is it on PC?

[odd wedge]

Not the Matepad again 😔

[stoic reef]

mhmm, if its the matepad then thats low specs, if its their PC well i dont know its specs but theres this where they said it was 15 years old #🔌technical-help message

so also possibly low spec issue

[odd wedge]

Kid doesn't know anything about the PC

[slender sable]

MatePad yea

[slender sable]

Yes bro am sooo sad I haven't touched pc for 16 years like I never touched grass before😭

All my knowledge about pc is stopped at how to start pc lol

[stoic reef]

Then yeah the lagging video is just because of the specs of your tablet

[mortal zealot]

some more insight on old PCs, likely doesn't even have intergrated GPU

so no GPU at all

and old gen CPU

[vapid mesa]

A GPU has to exist at all for you to get a video signal. You might be referring to embedded GPUs, that are soldered directly to the motherboard itself, or is part of the chipset

Nvidia Nforce chipset line is one such example, I used a system with that

[mortal zealot]

really old pc's didnt have a GPU, they just used the CPU, I know this because my old laptop had no GPU at all, not even intergrated, but ig they had a embeded yeah, but it didn't detect a GPU tho, just said CPU

[stoic reef]

even old CRT pc's running windows 3.1 had embedded gpu's but back then they just called them video processors most of the time and they werent recognized as an individual compnent in the system until they stopping being an individual chip on the motherboard that just handled some colors and screen output

[mortal zealot]

yeah, I jsuut realised that video processors werent a seperate comp beck then so makes it look like no GPU

well ig it wasn't a GPU back then so u could kinda say that

[mortal zealot]

but yeah that thing prolly has a dying video processor

[stoic reef]

maybe yeah

[mortal zealot]

in which case new PC is better instead of spending money on this one

[odd wedge]

I'm just gonna say this

Bro has more hope on his Matepad then his laptop

For HI3 to not completely obliterate the device

[mortal zealot]

true

[jovial crest]

does hoyo account not have the option to add 2fa?

or a passkey

[mortal zealot]

for what?

the hoyo account?

doesn't it have a password system

[jovial crest]

yeah but I'd like more security

[mortal zealot]

well idk

[cosmic lion]

they have 2fa but not an option for "external" ones, its only going to use your email/phone for sending the code, so if your account don't have those (like accounts created using a 3rd party login), you have to link it to enable 2fa

[jovial crest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/827264239181234208.webp?size=64

guess I should look harder

[cosmic lion]

tbh they never tell you that you will/can enable 2fa when linking an email/phone to your account, i only know that because i was playing genshin when they implemented the system

[lunar gust]

yeah it's forced 2fa when an email is linked

but you can "trust" the device so the code isn't being asked on that device as long as you use it

[slender sable]

Yo guys it's an off topic question but it's about tech so I'll ask here

Is there an app or software anything that can combine all the pictures in a file to make it as video?

I dowloaded a file supposed to be video but it turned up to be in
. Jpj format

Or I just dowloaded wrongly

[bitter ravine]

video editing?

i think u download it wrong

[slender sable]

Hmmm

I never seen this before I want to dowload 200mb stuff and even if I cleared till 1.6 gb left it still says am out of space

[bitter ravine]

have u clear the recycle bin?

[spark stream]

you on phone?

[odd wedge]

Please always tell us if you're on PC on mobile

cuz you leave us guessing every time

[vapid mesa]

I play on a

[stoic reef]

[slender sable]

Huawei pad lol

[slender sable]

Sry man I used to check hours later lol

Now it's fixed

[slender sable]

Nvm guys am dumb I dowloaded wrong

[mortal zealot]

please remeber to read the file extentions and the file description ALWAYS before downloading as they could also potentially pose security risks

getting some virus or personal data stolen is not worth the laziness

-# Though Microsoft already makes sure to do that

[bitter ravine]

[mortal zealot]

It's true tho-

[fresh violet]

Hey so I have a friend that wants to get back into HI3, however they didn't link there account to a HoYoVerse account during that period of time when they told us to, his method of logging in was using GameCenter. His account isn't deleted or anything he just can't get in. Is there a way to get back into his account?

[mortal zealot]

idk abour gamecentre, @queen jasper you have any ideas?

[queen jasper]

im certainly not the one to ask about tech issues tbh best to wait until someone else answers

[bitter ravine]

cant get in? u mean he lost it? or diffrent acc when loggin in?

[stoic reef]

They can try the account retrieval option on the login screen on an iOS device (iirc it has a game center option but it has been a while so I might be mistaken) but if it doesn't have that as an option in account retrieval in the iOS version of the game then they'll need to contact customer support #how-to-contact-cs and provide them with their UID and explain their issue.

As an obligatory disclaimer though, if they care about the meta or end game abyss and stuff and don't have anything impossible to get anymore like asuka or have a ton of nostalgia for that account then they would be better off starting over since none of the valks from back then are really usable anymore and the beginner rewards are far better then the returnee rewards

This is all assuming of course that they haven't touched the game even once on that account since July 2022

[fresh violet]

No yea they just feel nostalgia for it, thank you guys so much by the way ill let him know

[worldly cipher]

Hardware question here

Does a NVME do need a heatsink (my mobo didn't came with one) if it's only gonna be used for web browsing / discord .... general stuff + OS

Oh thinking of a Crucial P3 500gb

[stoic reef]

not generally no

[odd wedge]

Not necessary, but up to you to add

[stoic reef]

better cooling will make it better ofc, but in a typical enviroment its not needed

[odd wedge]

Look at laptops

WTF IS A HEATSINK 🔥

[stoic reef]

I was about to ask, do laptops even have heatsinks (yes I know they have a heatsink, but its definitely not on the same caliber as desktop ones)

[worldly cipher]

If I do order online does does heatsink came with a pre installed pad?

[odd wedge]

Generally no

[stoic reef]

not unless it says it comes with one

[odd wedge]

Your nvme just reaches for the sky

[cosmic lion]

tbh can be a double edge sword, only use heatsink if the nvme if is going to be on constant heavy use (like video editing, video games with constant r/w, etc.)
they need to run on kinda high temp to get the most performance/larger lifespan (for most brands like 60-70°C), getting it too cold can lower this last one

[stoic reef]

wait am i tripping? I thought it was standard for laptops now to have the heatpipes on the top of the motherboard case that lead to the side fan, not much but it does ouput heat

[odd wedge]

I make my nvme scream

[stoic reef]

slothy aboose

[odd wedge]

Just the CPU and GPU

Unless my laptop is just not that great

HP Victus, budget-ish gaming laptop, gets the job done

[stoic reef]

oh yeah fair it is usually just those two that get em, i was confusing myself since in a lot of laptops i've used the pipes run around half or 2/3 the length of the mobo

[worldly cipher]

Why is it a double edge sword?

Is there a con from having a heatsink for the nvme aside from cost and space

[cosmic lion]

like i said on the same msg, if is running too cold on heavy loads is going to get a lower lifespan
your best option is just to check the temp on your regular use, only if is going above the manufacturer recommended temp, get a heatsink

and depending on your device cooling system you probably are not even going to need it (in my case, just the fans can keep on the ideal temp for most of the m2 ports)

[worldly cipher]

Yeah sorry on my part I'm kinda gaming rn so didn't read the last part

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-bboying-dogeza-gif-8802783

[worldly cipher]

I might need it I think since the nvme slot is right above my gpu slot and I do run at high settings making my gpu at normal hot

Though beats me if that heatsink will still fit if I decided to upgrade my gpu from a 3050 to a 4060

[magic pike]

heatsink? just dont let your laptop get hot

[cosmic lion]

i doubt you will need a heatsink, that mobo only support gen 3 drives, an those almost never run above the max temp at least for what i saw in the yrs, and depending of your gpu air flow most likely is not going to affect the ssd directly, most of them now will push the air far from where your mobo have the m2 port

[upper parcel]

I paid for 100°C until shutdown (or whatever the fuck it is nowadays usually), I'll use all the 100°C

(pls don't do that)

[odd wedge]

I paid for the whole speedometer, I will use the whole speedometer

[high relic]

how do you think im heating my 3 story house?

[bitter ravine]

If I pay the whole laptop I be damn taking the whole temp

[mortal zealot]

well I've seen laptops temprature exceeding the boiling point of water by so much the the laptop might have melted a bit (prolly not tho) also it shutdown immediately and when I touch it to check the temprature my finger, well about what you'd expect....

[odd wedge]

Your finger is the problem, not the laptop trust

[mortal zealot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/969291931865722890.webp?size=40

[mortal zealot]

my finger is hotter than steam? that's new

[worldly cipher]

I see thanks for the info

I'm still deciding whether to get or not and just save for an AM5 build

[spark stream]

yeah put ice packs under the laptop

wassup

[wind lichen]

idk if this qualifies to be mentioned here, but i struggle to compare phones to see whether they can run hi3 or not. Every yt benchmarker only shows Genshin or HSR and idk if painfully comparing every single cpu and gpu I can find is really the best way to find out

I do base it on the recommended requirements, but I didn't have enough personal experience with phones. My expertise is more PC-focused

and for that, its easier for me to compare hardware

[bitter ravine]

for android usualy just check if the phone with the minimum required version of the game ig

[stoic reef]

one problem with comparing phone chipsets is the naming scheme is not intuitive, the best way i've found is pick the brand of phone you personally want, and then find one that is on the upper end of the budget that you have, then go to gsmareana.com to look up that phones chipset and GPU. make sure its one of the brand of chipsets in the requirements list so lets say for instance its a Kirin chipset for the phone you picked. if its not the specific one listed in the requirements google kirin chipsets and go to its wikipedia page and look at the history of chipsets and see if its newer or older than the one in the recommended and that should give you an idea if its a kirin 990 or higher for example.

for GPU's just stay away from anything that has a powerVR gpu (those are notoriously incompatible). if its near the recommended chipset and doesnt have a powerVR gpu then it should be fine, if its near the minimum chipset then do a search in the message history in this channel to see what people have said for that specific GPU

its a lot of work, but theres no real "can you run it" site for mobile gaming, and with so many different brands, and unintuitive and arbitrary naming schemes, thats kinda what you have to do

[wind lichen]

cross brand comparison is also a pain

[stoic reef]

once you get the hang of it its as simple as if you see a phone you want, gooogle the phones model and then the word specs (so like "huawei mate XT specs") and then click the gsmarena link to see its specs, if its got a powervr gpu then just ignore it. if it doesnt then its time to see where its chipset lies on the spectrum

[wind lichen]

like good luck comparing a redmi to a samsung if their chipset brands are entirely different. on pc you have intel nvidia and amd, but not sure if I can compare it with that situation

[wind lichen]

what even are powervr gpus for, exactly what it says?

like virtual/augmented reality stuff

[stoic reef]

and as far as actual performance comparison (not even just a can it run it) but performance comparison, theres not really a place that does real world tests, other than maybe a benchmark between chipsets, or just a stat % comparison and stuff

[stoic reef]

PowerVR gpu is just a brand, a budget brand to be specific that hi3 never coded in compatibility for specifically because they're honestly just low end

so like they sometimes work, but tend to have issues more commonly

[wind lichen]

ah i see

[stoic reef]

you'll see a lot of cheap "high spec" phones that have a powerful CPU and chipset, and lots of storage and ram but a powervr gpu because its cheap and the company assumes that you dont need a chunky GPU to make phone calls and watch youtube so thats why you see some weirdly high "spec" phones for dirt cheap. its cheap because its skipping out somewhere and powervr is a popular corner to cut

which ya know, is fine for normal phone usage, sucks for gaming though

[wind lichen]

so its pretty much the cheap older dedicated gpu thing but for phones

[stoic reef]

kinda? but they still make new varients, its just budget because theres a market for budget because not every phone needs a strong gpu

[wind lichen]

yeah that's important

as long as the phones themselves stay affordable

but i think that's not an issue for android

[stoic reef]

mhmm its just a matter of picking the kind of phone for what you plan to use it for

just like pc's. if you're only gonna browse the internet then get a cheap computer. if you're gonna be playing elden ring or something, get a gaming pc

[wind lichen]

yeah, i kinda wish netbooks come back for the former. dunno why they ever went away

[stoic reef]

netbooks are still a thing, though they've been largely out marketed by chrome books

[wind lichen]

this has a nice side effect though, lots of kids can run books on their low-spec laptops

[wind lichen]

but not with the same size

like 5 to 12 inch

had some nice memories with those

[stoic reef]

well yeah, you can still get new netbooks though, they're just harder to find and all that

[wind lichen]

so brands still make them?

[stoic reef]

yeah, just not widely sold

but can still find modern ones online

[wind lichen]

i'll give it a look then, liked the idea of it especially for train rides

[upper parcel]

They aren't around cuz of Windows

[wind lichen]

fuck windows

thats all i'm going to say

[upper parcel]

And most people aren't willing to hop on Linux

[wind lichen]

needs some who preinstall it i'd say

its just most people don't go through the hassle of installing linux on bad hardware, takes a lot of knowledge by itself

[upper parcel]

We have some laptops that are sold with Linux installed, but these are for peeps who wanna save a bit of money really

[stoic reef]

honestly though, you'd find better luck looking for "mini laptops" like these for instance. they're netbook in portability, and i personally love the 2 in 1 hybrids since I can take off the keyboard and basically have an e-reader https://www.ultrabookreview.com/2375-best-small-ultrabooks/

[upper parcel]

Cuz there's no upcharge for the Windows license

[upper parcel]

The distro choice is weird too iirc

[wind lichen]

okay thats a dealbreaker for sure

i'd personally just put linux mint on it or any main ubuntu flavor

at least for selling them

[wind lichen]

huh, i always thought ultrabooks were still bigger

[stoic reef]

honestly, i kinda like the idea of just getting a chromebook and putting linux on it, great battery life and all that

[wind lichen]

chrome os is just gentoo, so makes sense

[upper parcel]

Maybe I should dualboot for uni

idk how the battery life actually compares

[stoic reef]

you wont find a 5 inch one honestly, screens too small for modern GUI's for the most part, but 12 inch ones are kinda the standard these days, and if you like reading on it then like i said a thin 2 in 1 is very easy to turn into an e reader

[stoic reef]

models vary and putting a different distro on it varies on power consumption ofc, but chromebook with default chromeOS on it typically have a 4-8 hour battery life depending on what y ou're doing

[wind lichen]

ootb not always better, but programs like these 2 make it stand out greatly
https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
https://github.com/fenrus75/powertop

had to get by in school on an older thinkpad without a power outlet and got me through the day

ofc depends on what you have running

[bitter ravine]

[wind lichen]

ofc there's full desktop environments that also have their power saving modes

but I prefer to keep my mobile installs simple

probably more than I have to

[odd wedge]

PowerVR usually comes with the old Mediatek chipsets. Would recommend to steer clear if it's not Dimensity, else you get unrendered assets with the old Helio chips.

Prepare for the old monstrosity

I can't find them nevermind

You know what I'm talking about

[odd wedge]

You can totally ask here if you want

[grave fog]

I went to fast and it's still telling me to enhance the weapon even tho I can't

[gloomy cosmos]

does button not work?

[grave fog]

Nope, it won't let me go to the enhancement screen because I enhanced it then clicked back before it told me to and now I'm stuck

[gloomy cosmos]

try closing and re-entering the game, should interrupt this part

[grave fog]

Ok

[wind lichen]

@zenith token
Okay here's what to do to disable the "game optimization service". Keep in mind that this isn't a permanent change, you can always reenable the service.

• Download ADB AppControl on your PC (both Installer and Zip-Archive work, can recommend the Zip): https://adbappcontrol.com/en/
• Enable USB Debugging on your Phone with the following steps
  • Settings > About phone > Software information
  • Tap the Build number until you enable Developer Mode
  • Settings > Developer options > USB debugging
• Connect your phone with your PC per USB.
• On your phone, make sure you change USB settings to "Debugging only" or "Transferring files" if you don't have the former option
• Open ADB AppControl while your phone is unlocked
• There will be a USB debugging request, allow it
• The program will open
• Select the 3 apps in the screenshot. They will show either will in the screenshot or under the Package name on the right.
• Click "Select:" and select Disable. Click then on Apply (do NOT uninstall them or you can't get them back easily. Disabling is enough.)
• Reboot your phone successfully disabling those apps
• Test Honkai

To reenable them, just select the same apps again under the "Disabled" section and choose "Enable" on the Apply part

Why you need to disable the 2 other apps? Because they work in tandem with the gos service. Especially Game Booster will just reenable gos if you reboot with only disabling gos.

Technically you could keep Gaming Hub enabled, but it's honestly just needless bloat after disabling the game booster

[zenith token]

I will give it a try ..thanks

[wind lichen]

Ask if anything is unclear to you

and tell me how it goes. if you want to benchmark your fps, there is a tool called "GPUWatch" in Developer Options that you can use

should come preinstalled for you, at least it did for me

Just another reminder: Your battery life will be worse. The Game Optimization Service is actually also there to keep more than just your game apps in check.

And your device will be a bit hotter, but not to the point of melting down.

It's just too aggressive with it's thermal throttling limits. Your temperatures are more than fine still when it throttles your phone

[zenith token]

Hmm when phone too hot can not play

Will see

[wind lichen]

worth a shot

[queen maple]

does anyone know how to make the text smaller on pc? this is way too big it gives me a headache

[mortal zealot]

good question, I wanna know as well

[cosmic lion]

Unfortunately you can't

[ionic valve]

Is there a way to change the key for toggling between keyboard only and mouse and keyboard? It changes by itself sometimes when I click shift + tab

[stoic reef]

the default hotkey is right alt

[ionic valve]

Shift tab shouldn’t switch the controls, so I’m not sure why the game does that

[stoic reef]

not sure honestly, it could be hitting right alt accidentally, or if moving from fullscreen to not messes with the gamepad detection. for now you can use right alt (or if you set it to something else that hotkey) to switch control schemes and in the meantime report it to customer support #how-to-contact-cs

[ionic valve]

That hotkey is grayed out for me… I’ll keep an eye on it for now and report it to CS if it continues

[stoic reef]

ah yeah i couldnt remember if it was changable or not, but yeah you can test with just shift tabbing out and then right back in and see if it changes to see if you can reproduce the error since its not supposed to do that, but at least you know how to switch it back fast if/when it happens again

[ionic valve]

I turned off the discord overlay for HI3, and that appears to have fixed the issue

[stoic reef]

Weird, it shouldn't be doing anything like that unless the overlay is using the hotkey or something but then again the discord overlay does weird things sometimes, glad you got it figured out though!

[dapper forum]

anyone playing that make a wish PVP crap, game becomes buggy and displays my card and unable to buy stuff and timer goes Negative -3?

[gloomy cosmos]

Occasionally happens at the start of a game, basically the match is happening but you're stuck in the shop

only way I know to fix is to exit the match and start a new one though you have to take the loss, or just wait out all the timers till the game finishes in the background.

[dapper forum]

what is the max score for the emblem?

Hey guys it's me I wanna buy a new phone for my dad

My dad's phone is oppo and like lasted below 2 years?

His battery was flaccid lol

Budget friendly

@mortal zealot

[odd wedge]

What's your budget

[slender sable]

1000 below

:/

[odd wedge]

RM?

[slender sable]

Ye

Hmmm

[odd wedge]

Tech savvy? Need it for work? What kind of work? If office business kind I'd look at something that looks exquisite (people judge, sadly), else might see if any's more solid

Might check out POCO or realme, their mid-range devices are not bad and affordable

[slender sable]

Nah just for normal use

Not for tech savvy

No play games or 4k YouTube

[slender sable]

Hmm

[odd wedge]

Omg actually cheaper than I thought

[slender sable]

Use for communication

[slender sable]

1000 💔

[odd wedge]

Some sellers may sell cheaper, check them out

Shopee Lazada go compare

Bro

[slender sable]

Ah kem

I mean we couldn't afford more that 1000

😭🔥

[odd wedge]

I see POCO X7 for ~900

[slender sable]

How's the ram and storage tho

[odd wedge]

8GB 256GB

[slender sable]

Since it's not for gaming and working it won't be overkill to use

[slender sable]

Hmmmm

Is there actually phones with 128 now?

[odd wedge]

https://my.shp.ee/bDAKNx7

[slender sable]

Hmmm

[odd wedge]

Uhh maybe

[odd wedge]

I have to say this is very good for the price

[slender sable]

I saw only 258 🤐

[slender sable]

Ik

[odd wedge]

I'll check out cheaper models

[slender sable]

Tq

[odd wedge]

Eh official store selling for 839 this phone
https://my.shp.ee/Z2Z4i4L

My eye go see the 900+ de 💀

[slender sable]

Oof

[slender sable]

Cool tbh

It says 900 for me 💀

258gb?

That's cheap

Btw I wonder what is poco brand never heard of it lol

[odd wedge]

This also okay
https://my.shp.ee/xpxnvYH

[mortal zealot]

sry don't know much about phones, but ig a samsung is good?

[odd wedge]

POCO is a budget gaming brand under Xiaomi

A lot of people use worr in MY

[mortal zealot]

havent heard that name in years XD

[slender sable]

Ohhh

[odd wedge]

realme also a lot

[slender sable]

I guess I'll discuss with my dad

[odd wedge]

Anything wanna ask just ping me

Scared later similar price but don't understand specs kena dogshit phone

Budget phones these days really go
"BIG RAM BIG STORAGE BIG BATTERY"
shit processor tho this phone die fast

[slender sable]

Hmm I actually wonder which country are u lol cuz u talk bm 😆

[odd wedge]

MY

[slender sable]

That makes sense

[odd wedge]

Why'd you think I'd go RM if I'm not one 😭

[slender sable]

I was like hmm he must be in Europe cuz he asked my currency 😭

[odd wedge]

I wouldn't know RM in that case

Maybe 5 May got sale

[slender sable]

5 may?

Actually I wonder why I can't top up in hi3

Like is it cuz of Huawei?

Can't put in credit card lol

[odd wedge]

Got Google Play right?

[slender sable]

Idk

I think no

They gave me gbox

[odd wedge]

Play Store?

[slender sable]

Uhh

How do u check lol

😆

I didnt dowload hi3 from playstore, I get it from discord lol

[odd wedge]

Android can only reload via Google Play Store

[slender sable]

Oof

[odd wedge]

https://sdk.hoyoverse.com/payment/hk3os/index.html#/m

Else you can top-up on the website

[odd wedge]

Aren't you short on money

[slender sable]

When I have money I will need how to do it

[odd wedge]

Neh see website

You ah

Spend wisely

[visual belfry]

Just a question, are there any info on what mobile devices (android/ios) capable of running 90~120 fps?

[mortal zealot]

razor phones?

gaming phones in general, or phones with good processors and graphics processors

RAM also

also depends on your network connection

[odd wedge]

No, we can only find out ourselves 😔

iOS should be okay, iirc iPhone 13 (I think it was just Pro Max) and the iPad released during then were the first (and only? I think?) to support 120 fps.

However adding support to Android uhh might take a while or even not

I think most flagship Androids would at least get 90fps even if they didn't add

Tho it's been long since I last checked out the FPS thingy, I'll see if I can find anything

[odd wedge]

The phone has to be good, yes. But HI3 would also need to add support to the specific device models (or at least back then)

[mortal zealot]

I dont play on phone so idk all that but the main thing should be phone specs, mainly processors

and then ram

[odd wedge]

Your phone may be able to support it, but you won't have the 90/120 FPS option unless miHoYo gives the green light.

[mortal zealot]

oh, why tho?

is there a phone client for HI3? something like Collapse or something to cope?

[odd wedge]

Mobile app thingies

[mortal zealot]

[odd wedge]

No, just the app

[mortal zealot]

sadge

well phones arent my thing so idk

[wind lichen]

Someone could make something like that with a rooted phone. But without you probably can't access the files that allow the same fine-tuning

[mortal zealot]

can you

[wind lichen]

Blame google for locking down folder access permissions

[wind lichen]

nah, phones aren't my specialty and I suck at programming

[mortal zealot]

Ik xd

need a software engineer

on phone xd

[upper parcel]

(not that using root for that is allowed apparently)

[wind lichen]

i'm still find that debatable. it's like saying having admin access on windows is not allowed

[upper parcel]

I absolutely agree, but it is what it is

[wind lichen]

wait, so CS actually confirmed root as against the rules?

[upper parcel]

When I asked them, yes

You can try it yourself if you wanna

[wind lichen]

now i'm scared to ask them about linux

[upper parcel]

lmao

[visual belfry]

iPhone 13 is using A15 Bionic. I'm using iPad mini 6 with same chipset and the 90 FPS is in the option. I looked for Lenovo Legion Y700 youtube gameplay but the video is a year ago. It is using 8 Plus Gen 1 but it's capped on 60 FPS even though it should also be capable of 90 or even 120. Not sure if it changed now though

I tried asking here because the community might have an idea? I'm also unsure if the capped is related to device or the processor/chipset.

[odd wedge]

It's more to whether app devs added support to the devices

I have a POCO F4 GT (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1), it had 90 FPS 2 years ago.

[mellow bluff]

yeah...this issue...

this comes up in details

anyone??

i pressed retry again and this showed up..

[cosmic lion]

the error is telling you that x file (the img doesnt show the name) is corrupted so have to redownload, if you get the error again, with the same file name, close the game, go to the path and delete the file, then try again

[mellow bluff]

oh ok

idk how to go to patch but lemme see once it downloads

verifying

yep showed it again

it shows this

its redownloading the files again

after i press retry

[cosmic lion]

this time is another file

is not the same as before

[visual belfry]

I see. So it's really based on devices not just the chipset. Thanks! I'll take note of this.

[mellow bluff]

i pressed retry again its redownloading again

so its gonna be a diff file

what do i do once it shows an error again

[odd wedge]

You can keep doing that or use a VPN

[mellow bluff]

ok its kinda stuck at 49.7%

yeha it isnt moving

[mellow bluff]

ok

[cosmic lion]

your connections looks unstable, so yeah try a VPN to get a better routing to the server
if you don't have one, you can find one on this pin #🔌technical-help message

[mellow bluff]

this isnt connecting either 💀

ok it seems to work

without a vpn

80%

ok yeah

so like

what now

not pressing retry again

[cosmic lion]

just in case, the Y700 Gen 2 (that should be the one you where looking) has the 90 fps option now, but because is SD8G1 the device get hot too fast when using that option

[mellow bluff]

hmmm

[mellow bluff]

i mean my phone realme c3 which is ancient runs hi3 at 60 fps

anything above is prolly better

[mellow bluff]

fox

^^

[odd wedge]

SD8G1 truly a portable heater

[odd wedge]

Keep VPN on, restart the game

[cosmic lion]

that error can mean 2 things, most likely is still the connection, you can spam retry and check if connect correctly to the server or restart the game if you enable the vpn without closing it (sometimes can cause issues)
or is your pc is having issues, and a restart can solve it

[mellow bluff]

wb the path thing

cus this happened to me nearly a yr ago

and the solution was a editor?..something like that

like i deleted hi3 from there and it was fixed

but i forgor how i did it

but oh well ill play zzz for now 😭

[cosmic lion]

probably a similar error, there is one where you can "fix it" deleting the version.txt, but because you are getting rid of the hash files, the game just delete everything on the folder and start the download of the files again

but right now your only problem are a couple of files that are getting corrupted during the download, if you want you can try to use another internet connection if you have one, or wait until your ISP fix the connection problem, or just keep trying with the until you download the ~300mb left

[primal seal]

Is there a solution to an event getting stuck? Was advised to show you guys.

AFAIK a cut scene should trigger and the next quest start. Or does not.

Tried on two different devices. Mobile and desktop. Didn't work, same result. Any advice?

[stoic reef]

Yeah a cg is supposed to trigger there, since it's happening on multiple devices that narrows down what the issue is since it's normally one of just a few things. But anyways it's a connection issue that's causing it, the stuff in this pin has different things to try to fix that #🔌technical-help message

[primal seal]

Thanks Luna

[stoic reef]

np

[visual belfry]

60fps is the usual. I'm looking for those that can run 90-120fps. But not all android chipsets got 90-120fps options even tho they're better

[visual belfry]

Ah. The y700 youtube video of hi3 gameplay i checked is using SD 8+ Gen 1, and I know that 8Gen1 is trash lmao.

Anyway, I already necro commented on that video and found out that it's now capable of 90 fps, but depending on settings the device will heat up really fast compared to 60 fps.

[mortal zealot]

wtf why does your disk has a F partition???

[mellow bluff]

idk?

is that not suppose to happen??

cus f is my 500 gb drive

[stoic reef]

drive letter designations are pretty arbitrary, when making a new volume you can assign it almost any letter you want

[mellow bluff]

yeah

[mortal zealot]

oh ok then....

I was concerned XD

[mellow bluff]

😭

[mortal zealot]

[stoic reef]

wait now im curious why a volume labled F is concerning xD

[mortal zealot]

it means there are 4 partitions to a single disk(assuming theres only a single disk here)

which might be hell for a whole bunch of things

C D E F

most ppl dont label their drives and its auto

ask ram for more details, hats his field xd

cabbaged prof

[stoic reef]

well im not retyping all that, dont even know what bad word i used lol i didnt even say heck XD

maybe linux

[mortal zealot]

[stoic reef]

nope but either way, i was just saying that getting up to G isnt that out of the ordinary imo so im biased

gotta remember that cd drive gets a letter too

[mortal zealot]

depends on storage

[mortal zealot]

ye but nowadays PCs dun have cd roms

[stoic reef]

4 TB is pretty common for HDD these days, and making a few partitions for virtual machines isnt that weird imo

[stoic reef]

which is a genuine shame

cant even watch a movie on your pc smh

[mortal zealot]

yeah then it's fine, but some laptops have only 500GB built in......

[mortal zealot]

I still have

[stoic reef]

well yeah for laptops that would be small partitions, but then again a coding mint linux VM would be for instance, like 10GB and be just fine for something like that. i think i at most had 8 partitions on a 250GB harddrive laptop

[mortal zealot]

WTF

EIGHT?!!

ram would faint XD

[stoic reef]

well for instance i had a couple of windows 3.1 VM's and the maximum file size of a single partition for that OS was limited to 2GB for the fat16 file system, not that you could easily fill up that much storage lol

[mortal zealot]

oh XD, imagine having 8 partitions now lol

with win11-

on 256GB disk

[stoic reef]

yeah thats not h appening lol

[mortal zealot]

[zinc rivet]

does the hoyoplay not have glb servers cause i just got sea servers, isnt there like just asia servers?

[upper parcel]

Hoyoplay does have GLB, it's called "Europe & Americas" iirc

If you're looking for Asian servers then SEA is one of them

SEA is South-East Asia

[zinc rivet]

i had an acc on a diff asia server though i think not on SEA

[upper parcel]

The only servers Hoyoplay doesn't have is Chinese ones

[zinc rivet]

is it just the eu and american servers?

[upper parcel]

There are a lot of other Asian servers

Taiwan, Korea, Japan

[zinc rivet]

ill just check on the eu and american serverse for now

[upper parcel]

Yeah, that's the most likely place

[zinc rivet]

is there a way i can just check what server my acc was on?

[upper parcel]

You can do that on Hoyolab iirc, you can quickly go through the servers and see whether they have an in-game acc

[zinc rivet]

oh it was on the eu and american servers

ty

[mellow bluff]

i legit logged in 3 hours ago??? my pc is randomly deleting shit wtf

[mortal zealot]

that shouldn't happen to say the least.....

[mellow bluff]

😭

[mortal zealot]

is there abything you did to your computer or game files before, weather u think it's un realated or not?
just trying to see if its a situation of unintentional user error

well WORST case here is reinstalling the game to see if it fixes it, if it doesn't then well u know its not a problem with the game itself

[mortal zealot]

what launcher r u using?

like r u using steam or hoyoplay

or whatever

[mellow bluff]

hoyoplay

[mellow bluff]

i mean, today valorant has also been having many issues with downloading

like the first one is once it downloadd

[mortal zealot]

hmm idk abt valorant, but did you try file verification through hoyoplay?

[mellow bluff]

no not yet

oh and hsr too it said smthin like..

my friend is telling me u have to reinstall the game

[mortal zealot]

um are you on a PC with windows?

I honestly have no clue whats happening here, never heard of this

@stoic reef u have any ideas whats happening?

[mortal zealot]

what did the verification do?

any results?

[mellow bluff]

yeah

[mellow bluff]

it takes like 30min

[mortal zealot]

oh ok

this error shouldn't happen, idk what or why this is tbh

maybe windows defender or some antivirus is blocking/deleting some files?

or files somehow got corrupted?

[mellow bluff]

hmm

[mortal zealot]

@stoic reef @odd wedge do you have any idea?

[cosmic lion]

its started to sound like your drive is failing/dying
first check your antivirus if it could delete some files, if you don't find anything run a chkdsk scan on the drive
(open cmd as admin, and run chkdsk C: /f /r (Replace the "C:" with the letter of the drive you want to check))
and just in case run a sfc /scannow too, in case something is failing on your OS

[mellow bluff]

OMFG SOMEONE (i think luna) TOLD ME THAT MY DRIVE IS DYING RIGHT BEFORE OR DURING THERESSA'S PATCH (granny p2 theressa btw)

but anywho

im gonna be buying new components in a few days

hopefully thats a fix

[mortal zealot]

wait it WAS the disk dying?
I did think abt that but wasn't sure

but ye check disk(CHKDSK) might fix it if thats the case

[mortal zealot]

try running chkdsk /f or chkdsk /scan for more detail

in terminal

as admin ofc

if it works than good, otherwise replace ig

[mellow bluff]

Ayo? Luna or someone said I needed a new drive?

I mean I only have my last 50 gb left so I'm just gonna be buying a new 1tb one anyways

[mortal zealot]

well this is just trying to fix

[wintry citrus]

i need help pls, so i have my email linked to both hsr and hii3 how do i change the email on both accs? is it possible? cus idk how to :( if anyone can possibly help me pls dm me

[mortal zealot]

if still no results then replace

[mellow bluff]

O oki

[mortal zealot]

ahhh sry idk about that, maybe something about it in the pins I think

go check them

[mortal zealot]

thats fine ig, but since there was some assets missing in HI3 here#🔌technical-help message

[wintry citrus]

i will okai tysm

[mortal zealot]

you might have a risk of data loss

[wintry citrus]

me…?

[mellow bluff]

Data loss as in risk of account??

[mortal zealot]

nono

[wintry citrus]

oh god thanks i got so scared

[mortal zealot]

data loss of the data in the disk in general

its not confirmed but def a risk

[mellow bluff]

Oh ok that's np im gonna be replacing the disk entirely

[mortal zealot]

the data u currently have might be lost I mean

so save it on another disk or storage if its important

[mellow bluff]

What I plan on doing is deleting everything from my current hard drive before getting the 1tb one so like is that alright?

[mellow bluff]

No nothing rly important

[mortal zealot]

thats fine just check it in-case

[mellow bluff]

Alright

Btw the images in downloads and stuff are they located in the D drive or c drive

[mortal zealot]

is this a PC or a laptop?

[mellow bluff]

Cus I usually take some REALLY gorgeous pictures in games and wonder if those get lost

[mellow bluff]

PC

I said d drive to generalize it I have a f drive

[mortal zealot]

does it have more than 1 disks installed?

[mellow bluff]

An SSD and a HDD

[mortal zealot]

I see,

[mellow bluff]

125 SSD and 500 HHD

[mortal zealot]

SSD for windows?

[mellow bluff]

Yeah

[mortal zealot]

yeah thats good, if the problem's in HDD only then no risk of f'ing up windows

[mellow bluff]

Oh ok

So like

I'm not at risk?

[mortal zealot]

well whatever's in the SSD might not be in risk

[mellow bluff]

Ok that's a relief

[mortal zealot]

just to confirm, HI3 and other games are in HDD right?

[mellow bluff]

Yeah

I never download in C drive

[mortal zealot]

ye good, leave C for windows and other programs only

[mellow bluff]

??

C is 125 gb

The other one is 500

[mortal zealot]

yeah

[mellow bluff]

Ur telling me to leave 500 for programs?

[mortal zealot]

no

[mellow bluff]

Oh

[mortal zealot]

C

[mellow bluff]

Yeah that's what I do

[mortal zealot]

D is for whatever you want to download

[mellow bluff]

Download main stuff in D and programs go to C

[mortal zealot]

yeah great

[mellow bluff]

Imma eep now

Gn lmao

[mortal zealot]

a question, are buying a SSD or HDD?

[mellow bluff]

Ty for the info

[mellow bluff]

HDD most likely

Cus I alrdy have an SSD

[cosmic lion]

wdym exactly? HYV games just use a HYV account, so any change you made to it, its going to be applied to every "game account" link to it

[mortal zealot]

yeah should be fine, though SSDs are faster and have less risks of data loss and problems like these

[mellow bluff]

I'll discuss it with my father ig

Bye bye now

[wintry citrus]

so i have an email that is linked to both hii3 and hsr but i want to change hii3 email, so they both have different emails but i cant.

[mortal zealot]

yeah just telling you, if u gonna buy SSD make sure to by the one with the port your PC has for it

[mellow bluff]

Yeah I'm gonna be taking my PC with me to check so like no biggie

[mortal zealot]

like dont buy a NVME port SSD when ur PC has SATA port slot

yeah all good then

gnight

[mellow bluff]

Idk what those are but ok 😭

Gn

[mortal zealot]

like think of it as usb type A ports on your PC for inserting mouse and stuff and the type C used for charging phones, the cant fit in each other xd

anywya bye

[cosmic lion]

that is because you cant, both of your game are linked to your HYV account, so is the same account for both games

the only way to get a different login info for each game, is that you started playing the games with a different HYV account on each one
you can create a new one if you really want to have different emails, but obviously means you will start from the beginning, you cant move the data from one HYV to another

[stoic reef]

I just woke up, but i agree with Iho that it looks like a drive failure issue, even more so now that issues like this are still happening. back in january i recommended to them to reinstall it on their C: and not their F: around here #🔌technical-help message

[stoic reef]

Iho~

[cosmic lion]

[mellow bluff]

hey @mortal zealot

can i ask you about an issue of another game?

[mortal zealot]

sry just got online, sure ask away, I'll see if I can help

[mellow bluff]

so basically..i played wuwa for like 12 hours yesterday. and todaY? the launcher wont even turn on like when i click wuwa to turn the launcher on and look at my task manager it dosent use the cpu at all and shows 0% under cpu

i legit did EVERYTHING i could

[mortal zealot]

hmmm

I dont play wuthering waves, but the launcher won't turn on huh?

[mellow bluff]

like its confusing tbh

i made it administrator i did everything

like every hack i knew 😭

[mortal zealot]

I think you could still just open the file location of the game and play it without launcher

[mellow bluff]

i even installed CCleaner and AVG antivirus

[mellow bluff]

tried that too..

[mortal zealot]

[mellow bluff]

like 😭

[mortal zealot]

did you reinstall the launcher?

[mellow bluff]

no cus im scared im gonna delete the game and have to wait 44 hours 💀

how to reinstall a launcher 😭

[mortal zealot]

does the launcher come with the game?

[mellow bluff]

yeah i think

elaborate fuirther

[mortal zealot]

hmm 1sec lemme check some stuff

[mellow bluff]

if ur asking if i downloaded it officially

yeah i did

[mellow bluff]

ok

[mortal zealot]

ok yeah I checked

you can just install the launcher through the official site

it doesn't install the game with it

just install it and select the game folder

this is what happens when you use the uninstall file of the wuwa launcher

just DON'T check any of the boxes and delete it ans reinstall the launcher through the official site

https://wutheringwaves.kurogames.com/en/

heres the official site for download

[mellow bluff]

ik that but like how do i delete the current launcher

without my files deleting

[mortal zealot]

#🔌technical-help message

the uninstall

[mellow bluff]

oh ok

[mortal zealot]

just dont check any boxes

and it wont delete anything

[mortal zealot]

yeah

[mellow bluff]

tyy

[mortal zealot]

it should just delete the launcher

np

[mellow bluff]

imma reinstall it now

[mortal zealot]

k go ahead

[stoic reef]

[mellow bluff]

tysm frfr

[mortal zealot]

when you reinstall it, just select the game folder then

hi luna

[mellow bluff]

the fact i spent 5 hours and 2 frustrating breakdowns on how to fix it 😭

[mortal zealot]

[mellow bluff]

[stoic reef]

in the future please talk about wuwa issues in #off-topic-discussion this is the hi3 tech channel after all, not the anything tech help channel

[mellow bluff]

o ok

[mellow bluff]

thats what i worried lmao

[mortal zealot]

yeah I realised that now, I thought it would just be a short convo
sry

[mellow bluff]

bugs and issues are never short 😭

[stoic reef]

just remember for next time and all that

[mortal zealot]

yeah I'll remember that

[mellow bluff]

alright

[mortal zealot]

[bitter ravine]

[mortal zealot]

[wind lichen]

have you tried redownloading the hoyoplay setup?

@brazen prawn

like from the website

[cosmic lion]

in case someone need it

PC Pre-Load v8.2 Links

• HoYoverse

• GLB
• SEA

• Filen Mirror

• GLB (Available <t:1745324760:R> approx.)
• SEA (Available <t:1745326320:R> approx. )

[wind lichen]

ty a lot

will need it actually, working with dodgy wifi for a while

[odd wedge]

Oh

I'm in China rn, maybe no Drive links anytime soon

[stoic reef]

Okie I'll keep that in mind when updating the links, currently (slowly as it can be of course) uploading to mediafire

[cosmic lion]

, i'm going to sleep now, still just in case, the files are supposed to be uploaded in like 2-3hrs for the Filen mirror

[stoic reef]

ok thanks, have a good sleep

[surreal swallow]

is the hoyoverse one faster speed ?

[wind lichen]

GDrive is blocked there? damn

good to know

[stoic reef]

The filen one isn't finished uploading yet but the hoyoverse one is the official download link. Though your download speed is affected by a lot so best I can say is probably? Assuming no connection issues of course

[wind lichen]

not necessarily

BetterHI3Launcher also has an alternative DL source for updates and that one is equal in terms of download speeds

[odd wedge]

It's China, no Google

[upper parcel]

Surprised there is Discord there
Or did ya just bust out a VPN

(iirc even VPNs are a more complicated endeavor there)

[odd wedge]

VPN

I have limited data

[upper parcel]

LMFAO

[odd wedge]

I could with WiFi but I don't have my laptop, and my phone's out of storage

What could you have said in this context

[upper parcel]

Can't profs read deleted messages?
Anyway, it's about China's alleged trustworthiness score system

[upper parcel]

Or is that only mods and above

[odd wedge]

I dunno

I'm so inactive

[upper parcel]

[odd wedge]

Everything's pretty

[stoic reef]

Nope, the amount of times I've been curious as to why someone was cabbaged but not has almost made me want to apply to mod lol

[upper parcel]

[stoic reef]

*not been able to

[jovial bough]

can i play two different servers in same mobile app like for example EU and SEA if i choose before login ?

[bitter ravine]

two diffrent app then

if u mean NA and EU then u can

[odd wedge]

SEA server has its own client, so two separate apps uwu

It depends on what your two servers are ehe

[jovial bough]

no ok I'll just pick NA then just needed to restart an account for a guide

[stoic reef]

You can do both na and eu since those are the same glb client. But yeah sea is it's own so like others have said you'd need two installations of the game

[wind lichen]

Not normal behavior, I also use an Xbox controller and it works fine

@near hemlock

xbox one though

but my switch pro controller also worked with no issues

have you tried in other games yet?

[mortal zealot]

ram he says it works fine on other games in the message

unless you're trying to confirm

but @near hemlock can you give details as to what kind of malfunctions?

u say non-functional so I assume just no action registered in the game from the controller

now it may be a issue of game files regarding controller input or what ever

since it works on other games as you say

[wind lichen]

need more info I'd say

[mortal zealot]

maybe try verification/repair of the files through the launcher

[mortal zealot]

yeah, but this is all I got with current info

[wind lichen]

i wanna know how it malfunctions

[mortal zealot]

non-functional
is how he describes it, so ig not working at all

[queen jasper]

when i delete beta do i just delete the folder ?
ik there is some appdata things but as long as they dont take up insane storage i wont bother tbh

[mortal zealot]

never downloaded beta yet so sry cant help
