[proven sundial]

Finally wuwa works with the latest gameloop version

[rancid loom]

finally fixed it did ya?

[proven sundial]

yeah tencent can't code for shit

[summer pagoda]

Hey xom can you tell kuro to stop making us relaunch the game with every patch dl

[proven sundial]

the drive mount was broken

[proven sundial]

Sure i can tell the pc team

[rancid loom]

question btw

[summer pagoda]

Some days I'm just like fuck I'm not relaunching today I'll play something else

[rancid loom]

I've been observing this AMD Software Host Application for a while now

and it's using a bit of CPU power even on idle

[proven sundial]

yeah makes sense the pc team is well lazy

[rancid loom]

is this normal?

[covert fog]

done

[proven sundial]

i mean your cpu is a quad core

kinda normal

[covert fog]

I'll restart the computer before run the game again

[rancid loom]

so CPU is working thru the pain huh lmao

[summer pagoda]

Is that for ryzen master or something?

[rancid loom]

fair point

[rancid loom]

no. I'm on Intel CPU and in an AMD GPU

[proven sundial]

6600k was it right ?

[rancid loom]

i5-6500

[proven sundial]

close enough

[lyric tulip]

Hello, are there any current issues with the game? Or is there a website where I can check for them? My latency spikes regularly and I experience disconnects. Everything seems fine on my end, as other games run without problems.

[proven sundial]

german ?

which isp

[lyric tulip]

yes

[covert fog]

okay, sooo the good new is, the screen didnt freeze 😄

[toxic atlas]

Telekom perhaps?

[toxic atlas]

Are there bad news?

[covert fog]

the bad new is, the game screen open in black, then stay like this for 5 seconds, and then close like nothing happen

[lyric tulip]

Yes, but there's no problem with them, I've already checked.

[dapper saffron]

could be vpn timr

[toxic atlas]

Oh they have plenty of issues

[toxic atlas]

It is indeed VPN time

Telekom can't route Cloudflare for shit

[proven sundial]

I upvote this

[summer pagoda]

But hey, the pricing is good

[lyric tulip]

I'm actually one of the few who don't have this problem, since no routing takes place via Telekom.

[covert fog]

and it do that with direct x11 too

[summer pagoda]

Open Reliability Monitor

[toxic atlas]

You have a second ISP to route through?

[lyric tulip]

Yes, because it's not a Telekom line.

[covert fog]

okay, it seem like the failed module are unityplayer.dll

[proven sundial]

not again

either delete unityplayer.dll

and verify

[lyric tulip]

It seems to have calmed down now. I don't know, now it's back to the usual 20-22ms.

[covert fog]

so I must find this file and delete it
and then repair from the launcher ?

[proven sundial]

yeah try that first

[drowsy cipher]

xomori, i looked at some crash logs for a unityplayer dll crash way earlier today with akira and the logs messages looked like a shader cache version mismatch

[proven sundial]

deleting the dll sometimes fixes the issue regardless

[drowsy cipher]

yeah, just wanted to mention it in case you hadnt heard it before

i dont know anything about vulcan but thats what i got from checking the logs at least

[summer pagoda]

Unity

[drowsy cipher]

a header mismatch error and then failure to create a swapchain

[covert fog]

okay, I did that, now I run the game

[proven sundial]

ah yeah the autoverifier also causes crashes

in some cases

[covert fog]

welp, it did the same thing

[proven sundial]

can you send me the file

[covert fog]

and it's still unityplayer.dll that failed

[drowsy cipher]

damn i only opened it in discord, but ill look for the message

it was this, and they sent crashdumps a bit further down as well

[summer pagoda]

Could someone just dm this guy their unityplayer dll? Would that work

[proven sundial]

i'll just give mine you never know

[covert fog]

Soo if I read well this is a game bug issue ?
or does it come from something else ?

[proven sundial]

brb going to boot my windows

[summer pagoda]

I'd blame windows

[covert fog]

I blame unity

[proven sundial]

i shared my dll

but i think it's rather a vulkan install issue

[craggy harness]

does downloading isos trigger my antivirus bc they keep getting cancelled

[proven sundial]

perhaps this would help

[craggy harness]

not sure if its an internet issue or

[proven sundial]

is there an error or something ?

[craggy harness]

nah its just getting cancelled randomly

maybe i cant download it directly to the drive?

[proven sundial]

do you have another drive?

[craggy harness]

well, my C drive

i can download it there and move it over after

[proven sundial]

try it there then

[wheat turtle]

evening folkes

[agile tusk]

evenin’

[proven sundial]

@drowsy cipher having a closer look the vulkan pipeline fails

meaning

caching issue

[drowsy cipher]

yeah my mind went to shader caching

[agile tusk]

oh that doesn’t sound good

[drowsy cipher]

in my defense, it was like 6am and i was up all night

[agile tusk]

so is it the dev’s fault or drivers?

[drowsy cipher]

I think its the french

[proven sundial]

i think it's more likely a vulkan driver issue

reading through it

[covert fog]

why it's my fault ?

we did nothing for once...

[drowsy cipher]

see, no effort. to little too late

[proven sundial]

does intel even have proper vulkan drivers ?

[drowsy cipher]

dont you have an intel card now?

[proven sundial]

i need to check my B780 folders

it's going to take a while

i'll keep it for tommorow cause i have too much to do

[proven sundial]

not your fault

i'll just see what exactly could be the cause

[wheat turtle]

crimson desert dont support intel cards no?

[drowsy cipher]

oh yeah i remember intel being really upset because they sent the devs plenty of hardware according to their own account

[proven sundial]

@covert fog %localappdata%\Low\Intel can you delete the shadercache there

i want to see if that really does make the difference

[noble blade]

i tried the cmd command u mentioned earlier, didn't work. i also tried signing out, nothing changed.

[drowsy cipher]

its just in low, not locallow? good to know

[proven sundial]

i'm pretty sure klac is overtaking permissions on the endfield exe

but no idea how to start dissecting it

[noble blade]

is it perhaps the run as admin doing it?

[proven sundial]

no idea at this point

i cannot think of what else could be causing it

[noble blade]

this is so weird

account is also admin

[proven sundial]

yeah but the kernel level anti cheat takes over your whole system sometimes

for fun

[noble blade]

bruhh

[hazy venture]

maybe delete ACE?

UwU

[proven sundial]

idk honestly

i'm out of ideas on that one

[noble blade]

aight time to unistall endfield i guess, it was fun.

[hazy venture]

he can't delete shader folder?

[proven sundial]

endfield.exe does not terminate no matter what

[noble blade]

i'll try, how to?

imma restart pc first

[hazy venture]

huh, did he try restarting computer? does the game launches automatically?

[noble blade]

nope

[wheat turtle]

huh wat he having problem with cant delete shader folder? or game doesnt close?

[noble blade]

game run normally as well

[proven sundial]

once the game is launched it does not close anymore

[noble blade]

it just refuses to quit no matter what

[proven sundial]

it still runs

[hazy venture]

so you start the game and you can't terminate it?

damn

[wheat turtle]

sounds like a windows issue

[proven sundial]

pretty sure it is klac

[hazy venture]

end task in task manager says an error?

[noble blade]

but why just endfield specifically?

[wheat turtle]

if taskmaneger cant kill it then ofc windows have issues

[wheat turtle]

well endfield kinda heavy on pc and windows so

[noble blade]

in all the years i've played games and used this pc not a single time this happened

[hazy venture]

i suppose it can't be killed because it's a dependency of a service or something?..

[proven sundial]

other people have the same issue as him

[noble blade]

no services related to endfield whatsoever

[hazy venture]

oh

[proven sundial]

and other games terminate just fine

[wheat turtle]

try running DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command

[noble blade]

yeh weirdest thing ever

[hazy venture]

did he try lockhunter to see if there's anything holding it back, maybe?

[noble blade]

how to do that?

[hazy venture]

do that command first

[noble blade]

i did, everything's normal

[hazy venture]

hm

[noble blade]

no windows issues whatsoever

[wheat turtle]

hmm

[covert fog]

I dont find this path anywhere

[wheat turtle]

u could try running the game on windows admin account

[proven sundial]

huh

where are your vulkan shaders then

[hazy venture]

i don't recommand enabling windows admin account 😭

[wheat turtle]

u can close it after tho

[hazy venture]

i know

i've had a bad first experience with it

[wheat turtle]

bruh

[noble blade]

i'd rather not mess with anything that could potentially brick my pc

[hazy venture]

if you remember your exact credentials then it's fine

[covert fog]

thare is a path however called localLow/intel

[wheat turtle]

i mean u are just running the game on another account that have better access so its pretty safe

[hazy venture]

is it the same on an amd cpu?

[proven sundial]

is there a shadercache there ?

[covert fog]

yes

[noble blade]

also yes i've found posts about other ppl having my issue but it was like a month ago, no solutions to any of em either

[proven sundial]

delete all of it

[proven sundial]

it's a gpu on his side

[covert fog]

the folder ? or just whats inside of it ?

[hazy venture]

all those ig?

[proven sundial]

delete the whole folder

[hazy venture]

oh, directly intel, hm

[proven sundial]

better to clear gpu driver cache on amd software

[proven sundial]

down below

[covert fog]

I can't delete it, it say it's currently used

[hazy venture]

exit the game first

[agile tusk]

tldr aurexo is having a unityplayer.dll error. shader caching seems to be the problem

[covert fog]

I have no game running currently

[wheat turtle]

restart ur pc then try again

[hazy venture]

yeah restart pc and try again without launching anything

if it doesn't work i guess you can boot into safe mode and try there, it should work

[proven sundial]

i have to go now my kids need to go to a party

[wheat turtle]

what card intel or or amd?

[hazy venture]

who? me?

[agile tusk]

i forgot if u emailed devs but you could tell them how their anti cheat is literally causing an inconvenience for you that you choose to stop playing. what they fear most is losing playerbase

[proven sundial]

let me know if the shader cache deletion helps

[wheat turtle]

the one we helping for shader cache delete

[hazy venture]

yayy have funn!

[wheat turtle]

damm married man enjoy

[agile tusk]

minions to a party!

[hazy venture]

after he tries to delete after restarting pc, you can ask him

[craggy harness]

ok thats weird

i have hte iso now but apparently my drive is too small to fit it?

even though its a 64 gig drive

[agile tusk]

aurexo uses nvidia. had 595 drivers. downgraded already iirc

[wheat turtle]

bruh

[agile tusk]

black screen after opening endfield still happens

[summer pagoda]

Restart, try again

[wheat turtle]

he didnt prolly stop thiis before deleting

[agile tusk]

so we had a look into the errors

unityplayer.dll showed up

[summer pagoda]

Did xom's unityplayer dll not help at all?

[agile tusk]

sandrio dealt with a similar issue earlier morning about shader not caching properly

[wheat turtle]

hmm

[hazy venture]

is that shadercache too?

[agile tusk]

fast forward xomori analyzed the files

and found out that vulkan might be the problem

[covert fog]

ive restarted my computer, nothing is running and I still cant delete the shadercache folder

[wheat turtle]

nvidia card right?

[covert fog]

yes

[wheat turtle]

go nvidia control panel

[summer pagoda]

Where tf does nvidia keep vulkan shaders

The driver install should nuke it

[craggy harness]

OH OK

UM

[wheat turtle]

click on manage 3d settings

[agile tusk]

hi hello

[wheat turtle]

scroll down thenn u see shader cache size

[craggy harness]

am i doing this right

[noble blade]

Oh yeh ur right i should do that.

[craggy harness]

hi its windows reinstallation time mabye

[noble blade]

I am indeed gonna stop playing, game is hella fun but not worth sacrificing my pc over

[craggy harness]

ok i need to get walked through on how to set this up

i have the file loaded how do i set everything else

[covert fog]

I can't do that anymore
the logo is not present

[wheat turtle]

use search bar in windows

type in nvidia control Panel

[summer pagoda]

Click show more options

Win11 hiding shit behind a second menu

[drowsy cipher]

you can disable that via registry

[agile tusk]

make sure you select your usb and not anything else for rufus to overwrite

[summer pagoda]

Or you can just shift click iirc

It's whatever for me

[craggy harness]

uhhh none of the other stuff has selectable options

in fact the device dropdown is completely empty

[covert fog]

where should I click first ?

[agile tusk]

u can play on phone or console but the former would kill ur battery slowly … but yeah bummer how even a reinstall still makes endfield not exit

[summer pagoda]

Do you have a usb inserted

[wheat turtle]

use the windows search option

[craggy harness]

yep thats where i have rufus installed

should i uh

move rufus to my c drive

[summer pagoda]

What

[agile tusk]

hat

[summer pagoda]

Yes

[hazy venture]

YES

wtf

[craggy harness]

💀

[summer pagoda]

Lol

[agile tusk]

rufus should not be on ur usb.

[craggy harness]

OOPS

[covert fog]

okay, then right click on nvidia app or the control panel ?

[wheat turtle]

control panel

[hazy venture]

maybe that's where they keep it?

[summer pagoda]

Just open control panel

[covert fog]

and then more option ?

[craggy harness]

there we go?

do i just press start

[covert fog]

the control panel doesnt open

[summer pagoda]

You can change the volume label to something nicer

[covert fog]

even with admin right

[wheat turtle]

bruh

[summer pagoda]

How hard is it to open control panel

[agile tusk]

perfect.
make sure its the right device. should be your usb.
i think you can leave it as standard windows installation since this is ltsc, but i want to be thorough. click that, and take a screenshot

[ivory palm]

I was trying the last umbral monument:agony; that wandering aggelos kept beating me at half health so it was a constant exit and restart.
During the last exit, the game took longer than usual, the audio flickered and stuttered... then error code 1001 or something and, suddenly, I can no longer connect to Wi-fi network on my laptop.
Lucky for me I had a ethernet as a backup solution.

[noble blade]

i havent tried reinstalling it, might be the right time now, internet is slow af tho

[wheat turtle]

it should open normally

[agile tusk]

oh then try a clean reinstall and make sure there are 0 leftovers

[covert fog]

i dunno, it just doesnt want to open

[craggy harness]

alright! i think im ready then

[wheat turtle]

try from windows search bar

[agile tusk]

can i see more options under standard windows installation ..?

[craggy harness]

only other one is Windows To Go

[noble blade]

Still, its kinda scary not knowing wtf is causing it in the first place

[summer pagoda]

Dont use togo

[agile tusk]

ah leave it to standard

[covert fog]

I did and it still doesnt open

[craggy harness]

also pressing start produces a warning

[wheat turtle]

your driver has problem then

[craggy harness]

says the iso has a revoked uefi bootloader

[summer pagoda]

Do you see it in your system tray

[wheat turtle]

his driver prolly bugged

if control panel no open the driver corrupted

[summer pagoda]

He just installed a fresh one

[agile tusk]

since this is a mere warning and there was no actual error, you can very much press OK to continue on this warning. this is not a fatal error from Rufus

[wheat turtle]

prolly didnt uninstall properly

[covert fog]

no, I dont see it

[summer pagoda]

It should just work

Always has for me

[wheat turtle]

ye working driiver always open pannel with no problem

[craggy harness]

anything i should set up in the installation?

this menu

[wheat turtle]

time to use DDU for him

[covert fog]

[craggy harness]

i actually have an online microsoft account maybe i uncheck that?

[wheat turtle]

use DDU to reinstall driver bro

[craggy harness]

so i can load my onedrive backup

[wheat turtle]

u know how to use DDU right? @covert fog

[summer pagoda]

Everything but bitlocker just to save you time

[summer pagoda]

You can sign in later

[craggy harness]

alright setting up the drive now

[covert fog]

I think so...

[toxic atlas]

Leave everything untoggled

[agile tusk]

DDU TUTORIAL for NVIDIA

#tech-support message

[craggy harness]

oops i toggled everything except bitlocker

[covert fog]

that would be the first time I do that I think

[agile tusk]

oh? are those redundant for ltsc?

[craggy harness]

do i abort and restart lol

[summer pagoda]

Nothing will break just chill

[toxic atlas]

You can cancel and restart
LTSC doesn't need them

Some of them will even break

[wheat turtle]

follow the guide Jhet gave and u ushould be good to go

[craggy harness]

ok restarting it with everything unchecked then

[summer pagoda]

LTSC shenanigans

[toxic atlas]

Just windows in general

[summer pagoda]

It just works

[wheat turtle]

[summer pagoda]

But whatever

[agile tusk]

maybe i should uninstall some games on my hdd so i can back up my files and do an entire reinstall of windows. this time to use LTSC

[summer pagoda]

Sounds like a cult

[craggy harness]

theres a good chance arknights probably works again now but its probably a good idea for me to just reinstall windows anyway

[agile tusk]

i used to be in a cult (brainwashed from a young age)

[craggy harness]

because what hte hell was my reliability

[agile tusk]

[craggy harness]

😭😭

[summer pagoda]

Game crashing? Reinstall windows

[craggy harness]

TRUE

[summer pagoda]

Works every time

[toxic atlas]

Oh right also grab network drivers for your laptop, so we can install stuff after (in case windows doesn't have a driver for your specific laptop)

[agile tusk]

theres a lot of things happening about your laptop. a reinstall ensures a clean slate to start over

[craggy harness]

uhhh where do i grab those

[toxic atlas]

https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-advantage-edition-2023/helpdesk_download?model2Name=FA617XS

[summer pagoda]

True windows updates always fuck up my network drivers

[agile tusk]

Realtek LAN download that

[craggy harness]

okok

[wheat turtle]

i should do it too

[toxic atlas]

LAN is 95% likely already included
WLAN is priority, in case they only really use WiFi

[craggy harness]

im SO lucky i decided to start playing hsr. because otherwise i would not have an external ssd on hand to do all this LOL

[toxic atlas]

(also grab the mediatek wlan driver, since we don't know what's your network like)

[craggy harness]

(i had to download hsr to an external ssd)

[agile tusk]

oh yeah i meant wireless. im sleepy

[summer pagoda]

I keep a spare usb with all my programs and drivers

[toxic atlas]

Hm
I'm on my way home
Do I stop by Macca's?

[wheat turtle]

yo tf

grill setups

[agile tusk]

is this where we learn you’re australian

[craggy harness]

oh thats what naming the volume does

can i rename hte volume again after setting it up with rufus

[toxic atlas]

Yeah, you can name the USB whatever you want

[sudden sinew]

[agile tusk]

aggeloi for dinner

[toxic atlas]

Lmao on the opposite side of the damn planet

[wheat turtle]

i should make that one

[wheat turtle]

bro is mexican?

[toxic atlas]

Worse, European

[craggy harness]

i cant find this one

[summer pagoda]

I like the waterboarding setup 👌

[craggy harness]

the WHAT

[agile tusk]

-# ik youre in the country starting with R but i only know aussies prefer calling mcdonalds as macca’s.. unless u meant something else

[toxic atlas]

Click "show all" under Networking

[wheat turtle]

my condolences

[agile tusk]

dont forget its realtek wireless lan driver

[craggy harness]

should i just leave these drivers on my c drive or move them to the backup ssd

[summer pagoda]

Backup

[agile tusk]

your cdrive will be wiped out bc thats where windows will be

[summer pagoda]

Aren't we reinstalling

[craggy harness]

oh okok

[toxic atlas]

Or to the same stick as the windows installer, doesn't really matter as far as they're accessible post-reinstall

Okay getting McD's for dinner

[summer pagoda]

I moved my dl folder to another drive so I have everything there too incase of reinstall

[sudden sinew]

realtek wifi? ewwww
mediatek and intel better
/j

[agile tusk]

mid vs mid

[toxic atlas]

You could say I grew up and learnt basically every English variant out there
Plus also had a GF from NZ at one point

[wheat turtle]

ok this is annoying the launcher doest goes in tray when u launch game

[sudden sinew]

got an RZ717 so I agree w/ you

[summer pagoda]

Just use the exe

[agile tusk]

is it not in launcher options? to hide in tray when game starts? :0

[summer pagoda]

Steam is your friend

[agile tusk]

i must be thinking of another launcher

[wheat turtle]

nope

[wheat turtle]

hoyo launcher ye

[wheat turtle]

i already have enouf game to use shortcut for my steam

[summer pagoda]

What's one more

[sudden sinew]

[wheat turtle]

wdym one more

5 max

[agile tusk]

@covert fog how goes your DDU? any problems?

[summer pagoda]

I should recount my steam library

[toxic atlas]

Intel's the best imo (for WiFi lmao)

[wheat turtle]

btw funny thing endfield runs more smooth then wuwa on hdd

[sudden sinew]

agree

[craggy harness]

alright i think im ready

it should be time to do the clean wipe now

[wheat turtle]

good luck

[toxic atlas]

Shortcut directly to the game exe

[craggy harness]

uh ummmm

hm

[wheat turtle]

put where i have clean desktop

[agile tusk]

you got this

[craggy harness]

do i just click boot

im scared lol

[agile tusk]

-# ayy sick wallpaper

[craggy harness]

i feel like if i mess up here the consequences are immense

[wheat turtle]

ty ty

[toxic atlas]

Restart laptop, go into bios, select USB from boot menu

[agile tusk]

^

[wheat turtle]

i have more sussy wallpaper but i do not wish to be horni rather i wish to be happy

[toxic atlas]

Worst thing to happen is you accidentally wipe the USB and have a brick 'till you get to another PC to rewrite the USB

You can always recover with another PC

[agile tusk]

since you’re on laptop, chances of your pc borking the reinstall is quite low with the battery and all. youll be fine we’re here

[toxic atlas]

I got a mcflurry as well

[agile tusk]

hell yeah

i think the riskiest setup would be updating bios during a thunderstorm with no UPS

[summer pagoda]

Yall got the shamrock shake out there

It's like crack

[toxic atlas]

Laptop battery is UPS

[agile tusk]

i meant for desktop pcs

not for laptops

[toxic atlas]

Nah I rawd0g that shit

[agile tusk]

they’re exempted unless one doesnt have a charger and battery’s like 5%

[sudden sinew]

just bg

[craggy harness]

im tryna find my bios key lol

[sudden sinew]

try esc f1 or f2

[toxic atlas]

Esc or Delete most likely

[summer pagoda]

Just buy a mobo than can do an unpowered on bios install

[toxic atlas]

No-CPU bios update board

[sudden sinew]

depends on bios

[toxic atlas]

It's an Asus ROG laptop

[sudden sinew]

[sudden sinew]

oh

[summer pagoda]

Should be del

[agile tusk]

wait who had the asus tuf laptop then

[craggy harness]

me

[sudden sinew]

meanwhile me as FW user

[toxic atlas]

The dude reinstalling windows rn

[agile tusk]

try F2

[covert fog]

okay, I've followed all the instructions about clean install nvidia

[summer pagoda]

He lives

[agile tusk]

have you installed the new drivers? what version?

[craggy harness]

lets go i think

second option on the right?

[summer pagoda]

They reinstalled the driver again after not being able to open control panel

[agile tusk]

yes i was here since earlier

[covert fog]

now I can open the control panel of nvidia

[toxic atlas]

Boot menu lower right

[covert fog]

but nvidia app seems gone

[wheat turtle]

ye don worry about it

now hol on

[sudden sinew]

7700S

[craggy harness]

ok i think i did it

[covert fog]

version 591.86

[wheat turtle]

ye now try running the game

[agile tusk]

you can always reinstall and uninstall nvidia app. drivers will be intact

[wheat turtle]

[craggy harness]

is that bad,

[toxic atlas]

Let's go step by step, no need to rush through the install

[sudden sinew]

no, decent-to-good one btw
I got 8060S

[craggy harness]

i can make a vc and stream?

[agile tusk]

F8 for boot menu @craggy harness

[craggy harness]

or smth

on this now

[sudden sinew]

can't here

[toxic atlas]

Nah just share screenshots as you go and we'll guide you

[craggy harness]

ah mk

[toxic atlas]

Install, next

[craggy harness]

this is the drive btw not windows boot manager

[summer pagoda]

What is that on your screen

[craggy harness]

its asking for product key

[agile tusk]

-# theres temp vcs but we can absolutely give assistance through chat

[toxic atlas]

Click "I don't have a key"

[sudden sinew]

-# rlly? I see lock

[agile tusk]

i dont have key. dont worry, you can have an activated windows later for free

[craggy harness]

okok peak

[toxic atlas]

IoT Enterprise (non-subscription)

[craggy harness]

so middle one

?

[covert fog]

Wellll, the freeze screen on desktop is back

[agile tusk]

-# oh dang youre right… i didnt know they locked that 😭

[sudden sinew]

[craggy harness]

gonna accept the terms and conditions

[wheat turtle]

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5735/~/deleting-nvidia-shader-cache-files

follow this guide try again

[agile tusk]

whats the difference between first and second option? asking so i can do this reinstall on my own next time

[toxic atlas]

Delete everything Disk 0 (click - delete)

[craggy harness]

like actually just delete the parittions?

[toxic atlas]

Yeah

[agile tusk]

Delete all Partitions under Disk 0

[toxic atlas]

After that click "Disk 0 unallocated", then click next

Installer is smart enough to create the partitions on its own

Home just in time, it started raining

[craggy harness]

also the partitions themselves

ok i hit install

[toxic atlas]

Yup, all good

[sudden sinew]

[toxic atlas]

It's a factory install
I know, cancer

Bitches put caramel in my Choco KitKat McFlurry

[sudden sinew]

How's the installation going btw?

[craggy harness]

ok doing locales now

or should i just do that later

[craggy harness]

adding keyboard layouts rn

[agile tusk]

based on my searches IoT ltsc offers 10 years of support instead of 5…
but ltsc has extra languages…
and changing from ltsc to IoT ltsc post install also works..

[toxic atlas]

Keep going through the OOBE 'till you get to the desktop
Then connect to the internet and grab SDI-Origin

[craggy harness]

AH.

I FORGOT

[toxic atlas]

... The driver?

[craggy harness]

MY SSD IS PASSWORD ENCRYPTED.

i need to grab the driver again

hold on maybe i can use my phone

[sudden sinew]

[toxic atlas]

... Why do people even use bitlocker is beyond me
I get the use case in an enterprise setting
But for personal devices...?

[toxic atlas]

Check in your Microsoft account from phone

[craggy harness]

if it gets stolen

this was my dad's ssd so it has a lot of sensitive info on it

[sudden sinew]

me rather using luks2 than using that sht

[toxic atlas]

If it gets stolen your passwords and stuff are encrypted by TPM + Secure Boot

[sudden sinew]

if it gets stolen by FBI or CIA, this thing is cracked under 1 minute

[craggy harness]

oh wait cant i just choose i dont havr internet

and set it up later

or does that fuck me up

[toxic atlas]

You should have an option to skip it

[covert fog]

I followed the guide, did the 2 paths, and its still freeze screen

[sudden sinew]

without your consent

[agile tusk]

i think i have bitlocker enabled by default because i have a microsoft account signed in on onboarding

[craggy harness]

should i skip security questions

[sudden sinew]

meaning if I'm hacking it, it cost me under a day to get the key
bcz microslop's DB can be leaked

[agile tusk]

can you elaborate more on screen freezing? did your pc just become unresponsive? even after driver reinstall?

[toxic atlas]

Yes, skip questions and password
You'll be able to set a password later without them

[craggy harness]

oh i set those up alr oops

[toxic atlas]

Uncheck everything and accept

[craggy harness]

mk its setting up

[covert fog]

Well, i run the game from the launcher, after 5-10 seconds, the screen of my computer freeze on the desktop and i cant do anything others than pressing the power button

I'm back right at the beginning of my issue

[craggy harness]

im in, got the wlan drivers installrd

[sudden sinew]

yey

[toxic atlas]

SDI-O time

to install the other drivers (without the bloat)

[sudden sinew]

ah yes amd driver

[toxic atlas]

https://www.glenn.delahoy.com/snappy-driver-installer-origin/

grab this one
unzip it somewhere
run the x64 .exe
when asked, select "download indexes only"

[frail stirrup]

is the smart ISP in the philippines sill not patched?

[toxic atlas]

still borked as far as we know

[sudden sinew]

idk

[sudden sinew]

wait rlly?

[craggy harness]

setting up chrome rn

[toxic atlas]

would be easy if it was a game issue, but can't do shit about internet providers being trash at literally their only job, routing crap

[sudden sinew]

use thorium if you want, degoogled chrome :D

[sudden sinew]

well money is behind everything

[summer pagoda]

does thorium tab sync across devices?

[agile tusk]

the isp itself is the problem so i dont think we can wait for it to be “patched”. although so far, no one today had an issue regarding smart blocking endfield access.

[toxic atlas]

DM'd you two commands to run in powershell (as admin)

[sudden sinew]

yes, if you link google acc

[craggy harness]

ok i need to acticate windows now

[summer pagoda]

so I'll just use chrome then

[toxic atlas]

yeah check DM

[sudden sinew]

I use thorium and refuse to login

[agile tusk]

iot ltsc, thorium… what else do yall recommend

[sudden sinew]

[sudden sinew]

everything debloated

[toxic atlas]

Linux

[sudden sinew]

REAL

[craggy harness]

im still using chrome i think

in pretty deep on chrome it has everything i need lol

[sudden sinew]

if you don't gfx-heavy stuffs or expect browser to be smooth

[toxic atlas]

don't worry about what we're saying, just use whatever browser you're used to

[summer pagoda]

dw I'll be just fine

\

[sudden sinew]

yea it's just recommendations

[sudden sinew]

use edge by then
/j dont

[drowsy cipher]

dont use a browser

[agile tusk]

i still have Photos for quick trims on videos i wanna send.. but looking for a replacement app. have yall heard of LosslessCut? or is there a better alternative

[drowsy cipher]

curl every webpage and print it like a real linux user

[toxic atlas]

i used losslesscut quite a bit in my QA days, shit's good enough for that kind of stuff

along with Handbrake to change formats etc

[agile tusk]

yeahh i do use handbrake for compression

[craggy harness]

hellooooo

[agile tusk]

aight losslesscut it is

[craggy harness]

got discord set up

[agile tusk]

hi hello how goes your pc

[craggy harness]

windows is reinstalled! just downloading apps and stuff rn

[agile tusk]

have u downloaded your drivers?

[craggy harness]

not yet i think

i had to get chrome frist and discord

i kind of downloaded hoyoplay and gryphline launchers immediately after LOL

[agile tusk]

sdi-origin should do the trick. make sure its the website that looks like its from 2005 or something.

[toxic atlas]

#tech-support message
yup, linked here

[craggy harness]

ok im on sdio

[wheat turtle]

wat i missed

rushed dailies before reset

[craggy harness]

just download all these?

[toxic atlas]

click select all on the left
then install

[craggy harness]

okii

[ivory palm]

Been trying varion solutions: reset drivers to factory version, update them, ON/OFF... nothing.
I'll turn off both PC and router before bed and we'll see.
Any insight to share with me?

[wheat turtle]

you prob have a corrupted driver

or ur wifi card died on you whiich is ultra rare

[agile tusk]

huh… error 1001… i dont remember seeing that number

[craggy harness]

ultra rare... like 6 star operator... gamble forever

[agile tusk]

i hope the wifi driver just borked itself. a reinstall should fix it .. unless?

[craggy harness]

having to reinstall all my gacha games is gonna take forever lol

WAIT

STAR RAIL IS ALREADY INSTALLED

BECAUSE ITS ON MY SSD

IM SAVEWD

[agile tusk]

we cheered

[wheat turtle]

[craggy harness]

ok what now

[toxic atlas]

click the green banner

anything left in the list?

[craggy harness]

quite a lot actually

just select all and install again?

[toxic atlas]

yup

drivers hidden behind other drivers

[craggy harness]

ok gonna run star rail and see how that goes

or maybe thats a bad idea i dont even know if the graphic drivers are set up

[toxic atlas]

oh right
do your windows updates next

make sure everything's updated (all the stuff marked as optional as well)

[craggy harness]

oh uh alrigyt

[ivory palm]

I had an identical issue with my Windows 10.
My wi-fi died while playing Age of Wonders 4, resigned myself to ethernet. My PC is 5 or 6 years old, after all.
After the update to Windows 11, however, my wi-fi turned back on like nothing happened.
Windows 12 is not out yet, so...

[craggy harness]

ok wait uh

every time after i click the green banner it just shows the same drivers

[toxic atlas]

oh, then just restart i guess

you're on one of those systems that refuse to refresh properly

[wheat turtle]

u updated from 10 to 11?

or reinstall

[wary fox]

Bro, what is this? I had no issues playing the game until the last launcher update. When is this gonna get fixed? I literally updated nothing and it stopped workin. My game just closes on Loading Resources.

[craggy harness]

i think everythings updated

[ivory palm]

Updated.

[agile tusk]

in the pinned messages of this channel, scroll down until you find ake issues and fixes. then look for Functionality tutorial. click on it to be redirected.
im heading to sleep, so hoping someone else can assist you further. we’ve not heard anyone else reporting to have latest launcher update causing issues (i think), but for now follow the stuff in pinned
-# i am not official support nor is anyone else to be treated as such here. if every proper/applicable option has been exhausted, and your technical issue regarding endfield is outside our scope, please write to the devs #contact-us

[wheat turtle]

updating is not the best cuz issues stay when going from 10 to 11 always reinstall for best result

[ivory palm]

Thing is: after the update, the issue solved itself.

I kept Win 10 until last possible moment (start of October) and, until now, no further issues

[wheat turtle]

i see

you could reinstall ur wifi drivers

[ivory palm]

Already did a factory reset and subsequent re-update

No dice

My PC just...cannot "see" wi-fi connections list

[craggy harness]

ok i think things should be good to go,,,, thanks everyone

[wheat turtle]

hacked

bruh

[wheat turtle]

factory reset and reinstall both diffrent thing

[ivory palm]

Jeez...a bit drastic, no?

What about a recovery?

[wheat turtle]

recovery works but better to just reinstall the driver if u still worried

[sacred marlin]

I have a 5070ti ive never had this popup or issue before i launched the game and it was fr very laggy but before i played highest graphics on directix 12 and had 0 issues + i had updated and reinstalled my drivers like twice idk why this is an issue

why would i need to use directix 11 on a 5070ti bruh

[wheat turtle]

that driver has issues

[cerulean zephyr]

because the new drivers are buggy read pins

[wheat turtle]

causes stutter crashes and stuff on vulkan

[cerulean zephyr]

updating drivers is always the solution (except when its the problem), Half the time it is lol.

[wheat turtle]

true

updating drivers be like OH look u got new game ready driver? here u go some black screen stutter and crash

want stable? getting Studio driver? here u go driver late respond and crash

[tall acorn]

revert your driver version to 591.86, future versions are unstable and will cause multiple issues depending on the version you have, such as stuttering in certain games and fan controls not working properly

you can revert drivers in the nvidia app, download and install them from the website, or clean install new drivers by following the DDU tutorial that's attached to the pins

[gritty urchin]

Help me get rid of releasing resource PLZ I’m so tired of deleting hgdownload folder and restarting pc only for it to happen AGAIN

[tall acorn]

check the functionality tutorial in the pins ✅

[acoustic inlet]

wsg

[sudden sinew]

?

[tall acorn]

encountering any issues?

[gritty urchin]

i managed to get in the game

did my weeklies right before it resets tomorrow

[sudden sinew]

https://youtu.be/WIaf17mdQE4?

[golden zenith]

hmm.... does it not update the facilities list during the mission

[golden zenith]

idk what sql yet

also

[tough wigeon]

Is there like an ini file to edit to stop this notification

[golden zenith]

nope. if there is a way, it be under modifying file & im not sure the launcher is within ToS
you can open the game through Endfield.exe if you want, that way you dont need to use the launcher

[tough wigeon]

Oh yeah I didnt try it without the launcher, thanks!

[plucky thorn]

Can't login idk why

On Android phone

[golden zenith]

let me guess
Philippines?

as always....

use CF Warp

[plucky thorn]

Wazat

I warped to qingbo then closed game before having this error

[golden zenith]

Cloudfare vpn. should be 1.1.1.1 on the playstore

Make sure you use the Warp setting

[plucky thorn]

It worked thanks

[golden zenith]

np, enjoy your day

[dapper saffron]

vpn time

[rancid loom]

what the fish doing

Enjoy your day man

[golden zenith]

idk what ph isp is doing... but they need to do a better job

[rancid loom]

Money...that's what's on their mind more

the higher ups don't care about the people at the bottom

'they care about ROI more

no improvements for repairability, no changes to the system

in short...corporate greed

okay fark it

I'm gonna use DDU

[golden zenith]

lol, why?

[rancid loom]

I've been observing my performances in games

Endfield reaally has some minor stutters

at first I thought it was just the game loading the shaders

but I don't think it is anymore

I've also seen noticeable performance drops in HSR and Wuwa

[golden zenith]

oof...

[rancid loom]

coz I know Wuling is an intensive area and also that my PC is not that powerful

but holy heck, this was not happening before I updated to 26.3.1

[golden zenith]

me on the other hand

[rancid loom]

Already downloaded the previous version for adrenalin

Also disconnected the PC from internet so Windows update don't fck me up

[golden zenith]

windows will find a way to fk it up

[rancid loom]

yeah probably

[craggy harness]

ok update uhhh maybeeee im still cooked?

pcs running a bit better than yesterday at least but theres still crashes

not sure if its the same issue now though

[rancid loom]

wha happened

[craggy harness]

am unsure

i might just not have set up my graphics driver right

[rancid loom]

so yeah back to reliability monitor

[craggy harness]

?

[rancid loom]

same procedure

[craggy harness]

but theres still a few hardware errors in reliability monitor

so uh

panik

endfield one

[rancid loom]

yeah, just single out the date and time where the crash occurred

[craggy harness]

lemme compare this to yestesrdays

[rancid loom]

lmao I think this one's a known issue but yeah this time it's different

at least your pc's not randomly freezing up yes?

[craggy harness]

i got this windows error at the same time tho

not really

ok i think my wifi driver is being weird

my connection is oscillating

and its been oscillating i thought it was gonna fix itself by now

[rancid loom]

hold on

[craggy harness]

ok i was initially worried about this but im pretty sure this is just when i kept closing a graphic driver error warning

because it kept showing back up

why are my messages sending out of order

[rancid loom]

does it have the same errors?

[rancid loom]

probably internet playing with your connection\

[craggy harness]

shiiiit i think the display driver never actually updated from sdio

thats weird

[rancid loom]

what was your GPU again?

Nvidia was it?

can you check on your Device Manager under Display Adapters pls

[craggy harness]

radeon actually

[rancid loom]

yeah but are you sure that's not the integrated graphics one?

what was your laptop again?

[golden zenith]

latest amd driver?

[craggy harness]

asus tuf gaming a16

[golden zenith]

this time there no random system freeze, right?

[craggy harness]

not anymore yea

[rancid loom]

Okay there's an Nvidia graphics card on it

[craggy harness]

oop

[rancid loom]

So yeah he forgot the Nvidia driver I suppose

[golden zenith]

[rancid loom]

It's this one right?

[golden zenith]

his gpu is rx 7700s

[craggy harness]

uhh older version i think but yes

[golden zenith]

amd drivers the latest, yes?

[rancid loom]

sorry scratch that

[craggy harness]

i think?????

i had to reinstall them today

[golden zenith]

you can check it by opening amd adrenaline

don't think, confirmed pls

[rancid loom]

I found his laptop

I think it's this one

so yeah no Nvidia graphics

[craggy harness]

did it not get set up bruh

i swear i set it up alr

[dapper saffron]

good laptop

shit os

[rancid loom]

[dapper saffron]

is there not a problem with latest versions on amd and nvidia?

or was that just nvidia

[golden zenith]

try rolling back to 26.2.2 or 26.1.1

[golden zenith]

just nvidia

[rancid loom]

I rolled back my Adrenalin to 26.2.2 coz....minor stutters occurred

[golden zenith]

if you not sure on how to roll back, check the ddu guide in the pinned message

[agile tusk]

i was not schizo then

[rancid loom]

nope

[agile tusk]

[rancid loom]

I mean I further tested it

[golden zenith]

hihi

[rancid loom]

at first I thought it was just the GPU loading shaders which take quite a while

but after running Endfield for quite some time, I saw a performance drop\

also tried running Wuwa and HSR

noticeable stutters especially in HSR

[agile tusk]

crimson desert’s fault

my wuwa having 1000 ms framerate was enough for me tbh

endfield triple digit too

[craggy harness]

oh i need to restart again

[golden zenith]

don't know what happened with this driver... seems to affect certain system

[craggy harness]

fun

[agile tusk]

omg hi hows your pc

[craggy harness]

hi!!!! its funtional again but the drivers are still a bit outta wack

[golden zenith]

a LOT better, no random system freezing

just gpu drivers

[craggy harness]

the wlan driver is being weird and i still cant run ak without crashing but otherwise MUCH better lol

[rancid loom]

ayyy

[craggy harness]

oh wait has my wifi stablized

test file

ok

[rancid loom]

we are going in the right direction

[craggy harness]

the wifi might be fixed

i am hoping the windows hardware issues that show up in reliability manager are related to this

[agile tusk]

thank you for the free font i collect these like pokemon

[rancid loom]

lmao

[craggy harness]

youre welcome this ones actually from a steam game

[dapper saffron]

[craggy harness]

i think i did it wrong lol

downloaded the software installer rather than the driver from amd

where do i get old drivers?

[golden zenith]

amd website

https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/previous-drivers.html/graphics/radeon-rx/radeon-rx-7000-series/amd-radeon-rx-7700s.html

[craggy harness]

alrighty

this is the adrenalin installer right?

doesn't it need wifi?

[agile tusk]

no internet needed

once you’re installing the gpu driver

[tall acorn]

follow the AMD DDU guide that's in the pins

[rancid loom]

hopefully that 26.3.1 AMD driver is just an isolated case for me

or else we'll have another counter to add with Nvidia drivers

[agile tusk]

theres already 2 for that counter

[craggy harness]

to be fair my case could be literally anything

[rancid loom]

all I can say is

don't jinx it guys

[agile tusk]

… but we can only know when you can play your games normally without any interference

[rancid loom]

so HSR is running like before

[craggy harness]

do i check off keep amd software up to date

i guess not?

[agile tusk]

uncheck it

[candid valve]

What's the problem here?
I could not log in

[craggy harness]

ok restarted

[agile tusk]

are you from PH?

[craggy harness]

lets hope stuff works

[candid valve]

Yes

[agile tusk]

#tech-support message

[craggy harness]

do i just try running endfield now?

[agile tusk]

make sure adrenalin is running (should be in system tray) and then boot endfield

[craggy harness]

uhh which ver

[candid valve]

Thank you!

[craggy harness]

ohhh i dont see it...

[agile tusk]

i believe you can just play without Adrenalin app bc you still have the graphics driver itself installed. you should be good

[craggy harness]

lol ak asked me to update my drivers

nuh uh

thats a LOT of screen flashing but i think thats just the driver calibrating or whatever

[golden zenith]

Morning Max

[craggy harness]

oh thats a LOT. of screen flashing

[craggy harness]

lol google is a black screen

specifically google

[agile tusk]

okay maybe its your display driver

[toxic atlas]

Installed 26.2.2?

[craggy harness]

yep just did that

ooo was able to log in...

need to do the restart rn rho

for data verification

[toxic atlas]

Screen will do that during driver install

[toxic atlas]

And some apps don't play nice with sudden GPU driver updates, need a restart

[craggy harness]

ok im getting much further now at least

WE ARE IN

[agile tusk]

WE CHEERED

[craggy harness]

thank you all so much for your help lol this was so much bigger of an issue than i expected it to be

[toxic atlas]

Windows being windows
-# Never trust factory-installed windows

Now where's the other dude with the exact same laptop model and issue?

[agile tusk]

if you know a family or friend having a recently bought laptop, you may tell them to do a windows reinstall for a guaranteed clean slate. maybe u could even do it for them

[craggy harness]

this is true....

i dont think ive ever reinstalled windows to this extent

i know my dads done like the factory resets before

[agile tusk]

and now u got experience

[craggy harness]

true....

[toxic atlas]

[craggy harness]

thank you guys lol

now i save this usb to reinstall windows on every new pc i get fr

[toxic atlas]

Nah, you can always download the iso and rewrite it

[agile tusk]

iot ltsc the version to go

[toxic atlas]

So format it and use it for whatever you want

[agile tusk]

yes

your usb has quite the storage so u can use it normally until u need to reinstall os for whatever reason

[craggy harness]

true....

[rancid loom]

it's always good that you have a backup just in case Windows poops itself

Which happens more often than not

[toxic atlas]

Yeah but now he's on LTSC

Doesn't really need one for the foreseeable future

[rancid loom]

that's why I always download an ISO just in case

[rancid loom]

I see

welp that's good then

[toxic atlas]

Windows won't crap itself from an update anymore

[rancid loom]

how about I go back to Windows 11

[toxic atlas]

I mean you do you

[rancid loom]

nah just kidding

not right now at least when my internet is not yet fully fixed

[dapper saffron]

i thought it was stable already

[toxic atlas]

You managed to download endfield in waydroid?

[dapper saffron]

so bad

[toxic atlas]

Sticking to PC ver, huh?

[dapper saffron]

i couldnt get the controller right

and the black flickering i cant seem to remove

so pc

less hassle

[toxic atlas]

You can play OG AK in WayDroid

[dapper saffron]

ye im installing later

i woke uo 11 am

i had alarmed for 8 am which i woke up

but i fell asleep

and missed 9 am class

[toxic atlas]

Careful when you drag & drop to swipe in waydroid
Sometimes (when you swipe to another screen accidentally) it gets a stuck input and you'll have to restart it

Ah shit I have to go to work

[dapper saffron]

looks like i gotta set single monitor to ensure

f

stay safe

[toxic atlas]

Nah it can happen on a single monitor as well

Just don't swipe close to the edges

[dapper saffron]

bruh

[toxic atlas]

It's a bug with the touch emulation (which you can turn off so it receives pure mouse inputs, but some games & apps don't play nice with just a mouse)

[dapper saffron]

so it cuts off keyboard inputs?

[toxic atlas]

No
It's like forgetting you put a finger on the screen and trying to do stuff with another finger

[rancid loom]

the function for multi touch is being dumb rn on an emulator?

oh it's for Waydroid

riiight

[sudden sinew]

lol

[toxic atlas]

OG AK needs FakeTouch
but FakeTouch has the bug

[rancid loom]

I see

[toxic atlas]

You can enable it only for AK
But that's a hassle if you want to add other games to the list of apps requiring FakeTouch

[rancid loom]

honestly I can't stand this bs anymore

[dapper saffron]

i mean i probably only need ak on waydroid

[dapper saffron]

riiiiiiight

[golden zenith]

"top priority"

[rancid loom]

it's always *We are aware of a service interruption" or some bs script

[golden zenith]

hmmmm

[dapper saffron]

tfw you wanna cuss out on costumer support

but they got no control
