Prices will return to normal

[tall acorn]

wait until 2028 or don't wait at all

[knotty plume]

Move to opensuse

[arctic token]

after writing some vulkan hello triangle code i think i understand why my expectations for a 100+ fps on endfield is unrealistic

[worldly ivy]

is there any way to fix this?

[knotty plume]

Why use igpu

[golden zenith]

you can either ignore the prompt or force update the igpu driver... if that what you mean

[worldly ivy]

i mean how to force it use my nvidia instead of intel

[tall acorn]

it's already utilizing your nvidia graphics card (most likely), but you'll still get the prompt if you don't update the intel graphics driver

29 March Patch Notes

[harsh yarrow]

hi, uh new to this server, but i actually have these kind of problem from the first day of the game(January 22),The launcher opens normally, but when I click “Start Game”, nothing happens, no window pops up, no error message, and the game doesn’t appear at all. I suspect it might be related to Windows Security / Ransomware Protection (Controlled Folder Access), because I had issues before where it blocked game updates or executables.

i wasnt bother by it at first so i just keep spamming the start button until today it have no response lol

nothing pops up

im using PC, launcher from offical website

[summer pagoda]

Have you tried launching directly from the endfield exe with admin?

[harsh yarrow]

never

i mean havent

saw my mouse loading but still nothing pop up

i saw crashsight data, maybe some of u uh can help with it ?

dont know what it does

saw it related to word "crash"

[toxic atlas]

Checked the Windows Event Viewer for crashes regarding Endfield.exe ? (Not PlatformProcess.exe)

[harsh yarrow]

yeah

i saw it

[toxic atlas]

Share the details?

[harsh yarrow]

chinese tho

madarin i mean

[toxic atlas]

It's fine, we have g.translate

[harsh yarrow]

how to i sahre

share

[golden zenith]

it also gonna be the same format

KERNELBASE.dll.....

[harsh yarrow]

is that bad?

[toxic atlas]

How old is your windows installation? How long since the last fresh install?

[harsh yarrow]

2024-12-19, 21:29:07 windows installation

[toxic atlas]

It usually hints at corrupted system files, or game files not loading properly due to some other corruption/block

[harsh yarrow]

last fresh install i have absolute no idea lol

[toxic atlas]

The former can usually get solved by running the following:

• DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Restart PC
• SFC /scannow

The latter, if you didn't already try an integrity check from the game launcher, you can start with that first

-# I say usually because there are still some edge cases where it doesn't, it can't fix everything

[golden zenith]

-# if that the case, we advertised linux installation

[toxic atlas]

Hey don't go trying to convert people, they might have stuff that only runs on windows with not much of an alternative or not be comfortable with switching OS'es

[golden zenith]

[proven sundial]

Sometimes my windows get dirty so then it needs a clean

Some spray is useful

And a good wipe

[dapper saffron]

true

some software are heavily reliant on windows

[toxic atlas]

Did you swap that damn card yet?

[dapper saffron]

was gonna but needs first

[golden zenith]

Max asking the real question

[sonic nymph]

@tall acorn day 2 since driver reinstall, still no joy on that recycling station

[dapper saffron]

i guess you could say

the recycling station was scrapped

[sonic nymph]

how cinema

[toxic atlas]

[proven sundial]

i am still deciding on rossi

if it's worth it

[golden zenith]

Same here....

not sure to pull or not

[proven sundial]

maybe wait until full builds are up

[sonic nymph]

i pulled, she has 2 unique walking animatiom as a bonus

[proven sundial]

hmm

i just want my green bean

honestly

[pulsar meteor]

Can y'all recommend what phone to use for this game? Something on the cheaper side

[knotty plume]

Spend time to fix black screen (only cursor)

[proven sundial]

Oppo or realme

they don't kill your apps that fast

and well are decent for a reasonable price

[proven sundial]

good luck

[knotty plume]

[knotty plume]

Check minimum requirements for soc

[harsh yarrow]

both of it tells me it repaired something

gonna restart the pc now

[proven sundial]

that's good

did it say where the repair logs are ?

[harsh yarrow]

yeah

windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

absolute no idea what is that

[proven sundial]

can you send it to me

i'll have a check

[harsh yarrow]

how?

[toxic atlas]

see C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\
CBS.log should be there

[harsh yarrow]

theres 4 CBS

which one? or i sent all?

[toxic atlas]

sort by date, and send the one that has today's date

[harsh yarrow]

dm?

[proven sundial]

max can check

either way good to see what broke

[pure dust]

Hi. So, I'm currently at pass level 50 on the Originium tier. If I buy the Protocol Customized, would I still need to unlock the previous levels of the pass or would it also be at level 50?

[toxic atlas]

all rewards until your level will be unlocked and you're free to immediately claim them

[pure dust]

So if I buy the protocol tier, it would also be at level 50?

[toxic atlas]

yup

[dapper saffron]

yes

[proven sundial]

Yes

[golden zenith]

yea

[pure dust]

Gotcha, thanks

[proven sundial]

btw gamescope

has RIS now

i gave the dev

the direct conversion

so no more fiddling haha

looks perfect now

[earnest canopy]

guys how do I delete arknights? As much as I wanna play it, my laptop is to much of a potato to run it

[proven sundial]

what are your specs anyway ?

[earnest canopy]

Supposed to be able to run it but it just doesn't work

[proven sundial]

care to share your specs

just to make sure

[earnest canopy]

Kinda don't know how (I'm stupid) my laptops a Asus zenbook14x OLED

sooo yeah

[proven sundial]

can you type dxdiag in the windows search bar and screenshotr

i'll just check

[tall acorn]

no dedicated graphics card

$1,200 laptop $600 laptop

[tall acorn]

[toxic atlas]

yikes, 8gb ram on integrated

[earnest canopy]

Yup

[heavy coral]

my game is stuck on loading resources

[earnest canopy]

even my schools 400 dollar chrome book got double my ram

[tall acorn]

switch to dx11 and back to vulkan 👍

[pulsar meteor]

How? You have better specs than me?

[earnest canopy]

and can run everything better then me

[earnest canopy]

I don't know 😔

Don't ask

[pulsar meteor]

Have you tried fiddling with the software of your computer to see how it runs its stuff

What do you use as launcher, DX11 or Vulcan?

[earnest canopy]

Lwk don't remember

Man I don't remember asking someone for help on deleting this to be so hard 😭

[tall acorn]

nope

has a nice CPU and display but that's pretty much it

[proven sundial]

well just delete in apps under windows or delete the full folder

[toxic atlas]

afaik there's been no discovered way for win10/11 to run the game at a playable level on 8gb with integrated
only linux can do that

[pulsar meteor]

He had 16 cores and same ram as mine he should be running better than my 8 core

[tall acorn]

do you have a dedicated GPU

[pulsar meteor]

Oh integrated

[pulsar meteor]

Yeah... Got a 3050

[dapper saffron]

i mean i did play it

its just a bit better now

[earnest canopy]

Sooo like guys, could someone answer my original question??

[tall acorn]

@earnest canopy

you can go into your windows settings and delete the launcher

[earnest canopy]

Oop mb I'm blind

[tall acorn]

and it'll prompt you to remove everything else 👍

[tall acorn]

can't medium-end integrated graphics play this game at low resolutions and settings

[proven sundial]

intel specifically has vulkan issues

with igpus

but dx11 is do-able

[toxic atlas]

yeah but if you also have the ram for it

[proven sundial]

but yeah like max said you need enough ram

especially in windows

[pulsar meteor]

My laptop can't run on Vulcan

[tall acorn]

"playable level" is considered 20~ fps for these cases

[pulsar meteor]

That's still playable

[earnest canopy]

Even 10 fps is playable for me

I'm used to it from minecraft

[tall acorn]

it's unplayable for my standards, but as long as the game can boot and you can get an experience, it's still technically playable

[toxic atlas]

yeah 20+ fps
-# like the good ol' times when i was playing CS:GO and Minecraft on a Core2 Duo with integrated at 15-20 FPS

[earnest canopy]

Hell I'm fine with even around 5 fps 😭

[tall acorn]

if the game isn't a literal slideshow, you'll eventually learn to cope with the playability you have

[pulsar meteor]

I don't see the difference between 60 and 30 FPS I don't think I'd see 30 and 20

[tall acorn]

won't even notice it after a while - granted you're already used to playing with any performance level

[proven sundial]

i'm too sensitive to 30 fps nowadays

[toxic atlas]

oh i see the difference
just not as affected by it as others

[proven sundial]

but yeah i'm on a 270Hz monitor

[pulsar meteor]

Flexor

[tall acorn]

if it's a game i really enjoy, i don't mind playing at abysmal framerates for however long i need to

[proven sundial]

atleast i'm not shitting on your hardware like others

[pulsar meteor]

Just wait until I get a job

I'm upgrading to 16GB ram

[toxic atlas]

hey hardware is hardware
we gotta make do with what we have

[proven sundial]

an upgrade is always nice

[pulsar meteor]

Btw I learned alot from this game

I mean I modified my War Thunder settings with the things I learned from here and damn man I'm not even lagging on WT anymore

[proven sundial]

Valuable research has been done

[golden zenith]

that good at least

[broken swift]

Well 8gb (must be dual channel) on w11 ltsc + tweaks + 40gb page file run Endfield fine on my 7530u

*It's actually playable 30fps with 60% 900p low-medium

[toxic atlas]

yeah but you're on an actually capable APU

you really gonna compare intel integrated with amd integrated?

[broken swift]

Ah intel

My bad

[sonic nymph]

hey ummm since some of you guys are up, i want to ask:
is there any definitive way to tackle VIDEO TDR issue?

[proven sundial]

reinstall gpu driver

[toxic atlas]

pretty sure he already did that, a few times already

[proven sundial]

amd or nvidia ?

[sonic nymph]

a lot, and still happenns, nvidia btw

[toxic atlas]

full BSOD, right?

[sonic nymph]

when the game loading some kind of large chunk of data which led to hang up

[broken swift]

bsod? You might want to try unplugging it and clean the pcie with alcohol (at least 70°)

[sonic nymph]

yep, about that nvlddmkm.sys

[tall acorn]

your card isn't overclocked, right?

[proven sundial]

NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver

[sonic nymph]

doesn't

[proven sundial]

is the driver not properly syncing

?

[sonic nymph]

dunno

after 521.493, those issue happens

[proven sundial]

you can increase TDR timing in windows

but only by a little

otherwise you get stutters

[sonic nymph]

i used to be able to load 700 mods in fallout 4 normally, now it's gambling chance to restart

[toxic atlas]

wait, it's failing for fallout as well?

-# hopefully it's not failing hardware...

[proven sundial]

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

then create tdrdelay

[sonic nymph]

increased tdr delay to 60, but if something my computer cant swallow through its neck, it refuse, hang up, windows thinks graphic card got fked => bsod

[proven sundial]

not that one

that is the wrong one

[sonic nymph]

dunno how i fixed but fallout works fine now, but next victim is koikatsu

10 minutes loading

[proven sundial]

standard tdr is 2 seconds

i recommend 4 as max

upping it to 60 just corrupts the driver

[sonic nymph]

i slapped 60, and added tdrDdiDelay as well

[proven sundial]

making the issue even worse

[sonic nymph]

lol lemme try

decimal?

[proven sundial]

yeah decimal

also weird question

does a small dot appear on the left top of the screen

when bsod

[sonic nymph]

there are lines of ummmm memory range or some kind

[proven sundial]

memory range

hmm

[sonic nymph]

do they save any crash log?

[proven sundial]

if memory range is shown then

it is referencing either invalid system memory

or gpu memory

and yeah there should be a crash log for bsods

C:\Windows\Minidump

[sonic nymph]

latest crash was 11 hours ago

in previous it can loads anything like drinking watah

later driver makes data feels like giant pill and can't swallow

anyone i can bother reading crash dump?

[proven sundial]

i'll check it in a bit

i need to prepare some stuff for now

[sonic nymph]

send to dm?

[proven sundial]

ah you can send it there

it will take another hour before i get back to you

[sonic nymph]

oki

[tall acorn]

you can send them here as well and someone will read it

[sonic nymph]

okay here is the crash dump, thank you guys in advanced

[proven sundial]

so the crash is related to

directx graphics kernel

commanding the nvidia driver

either we have a gpu hardware failure

or registry values stuck somewhere

[sonic nymph]

i did some registry altering that can crank any game to launch at highest priority

and CPU affinity

[proven sundial]

well definitely some changes have caused an issue

so perhaps revert to stock registry settings and try again

[sonic nymph]

here are some of my edits

[proven sundial]

i see well revert them back and try again

i hope that is helpful

[sonic nymph]

i forgor default values

[tall acorn]

just a clean install moment - for windows

wouldn't have been messing around in the registry in the first place tbh

[proven sundial]

welp

good i can read crash dumps

up to you now what you do

also don't fuck around and find out

unless you know what you are doing

[drowsy cipher]

well you can fuck around with the express purpose of finding out

but cant be disappointed when what you find out, is in fact not positive

[proven sundial]

my job here is done

i need to make some milshakes now

[drowsy cipher]

i should too later, i have some strawberries

[sudden sinew]

[sudden sinew]

want milkshakes too

[tall acorn]

unfixable windows crashes after resolving system corruption and clean installing drivers, generally points to either an actual hardware failure or some sort of further system instability

[tall acorn]

the start of the registry edit talk handed me a hunch that it's probably a user edit which is causing the crashes

[sudden sinew]

matcha one if possible

[tall acorn]

it's alright though

[sudden sinew]

[tall acorn]

reinstalling windows is pretty straightforward

[sonic nymph]

better framerate and load time when AC turned on

[tall acorn]

@sonic nymph

[sudden sinew]

...

[tall acorn]

you can achieve better performance without sacrificing system stability or messing around in the registry

[sudden sinew]

yes

[tall acorn]

wouldn't recommend it unless you're 100% aware of what you're doing, and if you're willing to quickly revert in the future after making any changes

though simply reverting won't always solve the issue depending on what you changed

[proven sundial]

i guess i should make a link for default registry values

too many people mess with it

[steel swift]

I love playing with regedit

[sudden sinew]

I only playing regedit when it comes to administrating and some settings restricting my workflow

[tall acorn]

also true

[sudden sinew]

otherwise, I'd rather mess with bios config and have researches or optimize on the control panel of the card

[sudden sinew]

sometimes knowing that you want to get the most outperform, but you must know windows is windows and windows can do slops

[steel swift]

[proven sundial]

overclocking enthusiast right here

fuck with everything but know how to fix it

[sudden sinew]

I got an OC'd desktop too

[tall acorn]

this is commonly the second critical blunder most make whenever they're messing around in the registry

[sudden sinew]

anyways, you do deep researches before configuring stuffs, that's the golden standard

[tall acorn]

there's a good bit of misinformation out there too

[proven sundial]

i just go to the OEM and ask

[sudden sinew]

that's why you need to know what the variable does

[proven sundial]

what to mess around with

[tall acorn]

the majority of reg edits aren't worth it for the marginal uplift they supposedly provide

[sudden sinew]

before even touching your mrrp-ing hand on to it

[tall acorn]

if you don't have a specific issue with no other workaround that needs to be fixed

[sudden sinew]

like DisableCAD

why would you do that

[proven sundial]

ah well he learned his lesson

it's alright now

[tall acorn]

@sonic nymph you can reinstall windows from here if you want

[proven sundial]

the only reason is encrypted usb login

like me

[tall acorn]

or use a different method which might retain your installed programs

[tall acorn]

if you select the top option, it'll only remove the programs you have installed and clear all windows settings

[proven sundial]

but yeah normal users don't need to touch it

[sudden sinew]

bcz you don't want ctrl+alt+del every lock

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-10/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/interactive-logon-do-not-require-ctrl-alt-del

[sonic nymph]

sure thing i will test them all

[sudden sinew]

it's an administrating thing too

[proven sundial]

do you think macha strawberry works ?

[proven sundial]

guess i gotta try

[tall acorn]

huh?

[sudden sinew]

[sonic nymph]

i mesnt will do if errors shows up again

I might be stupid, but which one is the functionality guide

[wheat turtle]

Just install cloud Flare wrap and use that for short works most of time

Try repairing the game 4-5 times

Or try VPN or change DNS

If repair don't work

Did Arknights Endfield stop working for people on Steam Deck?

Mine was working up till the update today

[toxic atlas]

Still works fine afaik

On Linux here, still works as good as day-1

[proven sundial]

For me it crashed yesterday

but

i just downclocked

my gpu

and it was fixed

[sudden sinew]

approved

[covert fog]

i did all of that
and it does the same thing
BUT, there is a new thing now
in the fiability error report, now the error about unityplayer with the endfield app doesnt show up

only the forced shut down report appear

[proven sundial]

huh is your core isolation on ?

[covert fog]

core isolation ?

how do I check that ?

[covert fog]

yes its on

[proven sundial]

you can disable it

to see if the game just launches without it

[covert fog]

isnt it too risky to do that ?

[proven sundial]

in general no

for emulators yes

as long as you don't run those you should be okay

[covert fog]

okay, ill try then

it didnt changed anything on the game side
but for some reason, when run the game on directx11 check, the computer restarted like it detected a problem

[proven sundial]

hmm what do the errors now say ?

[covert fog]

the error was just a generic "the computer didnt stopped correctly"

as for the fiability report, it's still the same error "the computer didnt stopped correctly"

[proven sundial]

you always launch via the game launcher right ?

[covert fog]

yes

[proven sundial]

does the exe do the same

[covert fog]

the exe do the same ? you mean the application of the game itself ? not the launcher ?

[proven sundial]

yes the executable of the game

[covert fog]

ill try to run the game directly without the launcher now

on admin just in case

[proven sundial]

alright

[covert fog]

yes it does the same thing
crash and freeze the screen, as usual

huh, I just noticed a new thing
now the launcher ask to be run everytime I restart
even when I didnt clicked on it

thats odd

[proven sundial]

Oh that's probably because it seeks higher permissions

From the admin side

So it just bsods fully ?

Or like CTD

[covert fog]

whats bsods ?
or CTD ?

no its not blue screen of death

[proven sundial]

Okay so just crash to desktop

[covert fog]

it's more like the repair system

yes, I can see in the task manager that the game app appear, using something like 2-4% of memory, and then 5 seconds later it crash and freeze the screen on desktop

[proven sundial]

Makes me think of a initilization problem

Give me a second

Can you sum up what you did with zencrox before so i can pinpoint

[covert fog]

with zencrox only ? or everything I've did before too ?

[proven sundial]

Just sum up what you tried before

[toxic atlas]

Oh btw @proven sundial that other dude got his issue fixed by DISM+SFC

[proven sundial]

Lol

[covert fog]

ok
-I've updated to latest version of 595 my nvidia graphic card, then the 589 version, into back to 595 last followed into 596.02 which is the current version I use.

-I've been in safe mode to uninstall then reinstall the graphic card version. (I don't remember which one exactly, 589 I think)

-I've uninstalled every microsoft visual C++ exept the latest version

-I've repaired so many time in the launcher, deleted the unityplayer.dll, replaced it with one that worked for someone else.

-I've cleaned the potential corrupted file with the "cleannow" command (after doing every steps before that too)

-I've uninstall reinstall everything about the game files, even the launcher.

and I think thats all

[toxic atlas]

The one with the KERNELBASE.dll crash

So what's this one's case? System lock-up on game start?

[tall acorn]

uninstalled?

-I've uninstalled every microsoft visual C++ exept the latest version

[proven sundial]

Freeze and CTD

[toxic atlas]

Oh
Got events from those?

[covert fog]

uninstall

nothing clear on reliability monitor either?

[covert fog]

which versions ? all of them ?

[proven sundial]

Zencrox did a run yesterday

For repairs and all that

So just backreading and stuff

Double checking

[tall acorn]

yeah the X64 version of all of them

[tall acorn]

i'm thinking there's a conflict with something that's causing the game to crash their computer on startup

[proven sundial]

Yeah seems like it

[covert fog]

just to be sure, do I uninstall and reinstall the latest version of it too ? since its the only one I've keep

[rancid loom]

KLAC interference maybe?

[proven sundial]

For the other guy with the game not terminating it was ACE

[rancid loom]

or some other application embedded in the kernel that interferes when the game is running

[rancid loom]

oh

[covert fog]

just to be sure, do I uninstall and reinstall the latest version of it too ? since its the only one I've keep

[tall acorn]

keep it

[proven sundial]

Wait zencrox is it a laptop ?

[tall acorn]

yes

[proven sundial]

What was the model

[tall acorn]

Predator PT516-52s specifically

haven't looked into any bloatware that might be messing with the game

[proven sundial]

The only programs i see is planet 9 and expressvpn

As bloatware

And perhaps care center on it

[short ridge]

Goddamn😭the company provided me with a suit i need for work and i look fucking ridicilous in this thing

[covert fog]

the 2015 one doesnt have a proper link for the exe

[tall acorn]

?

[covert fog]

nevermind I found it

[short ridge]

Like look, why do i need allat for a game presenter job😭

[proven sundial]

You better comply

[short ridge]

I got no other choice

Its mandatory

[proven sundial]

Ah well does not look half bad

[covert fog]

okay its done

now I run the game as usual ?

[tall acorn]

yeah

if it still isn't working after that, try reinstalling ACE from here %ProgramFiles%/GRYPHLINK/games/EndField Game/AntiCheatExpert

i'll be back a bit later

[covert fog]

same result

doesnt work

game crash, screen freeze

[proven sundial]

No other game is doing this right ?

[covert fog]

yes

this is the only one

even stellaris work perfectly fine

[proven sundial]

You have any other games with anti cheat ?

[covert fog]

bettlefleet gothic armada 2 use anti cheat I think

yeah it use easy anti cheat

[proven sundial]

That's fine

The only anti cheat causing problems most of the time is vanguard

From valorant and LoL

[covert fog]

ah yeah, Ive heard it caused issue with the bios one time I think

[proven sundial]

It messes with your windows bootloader

And well the rest of course

So how about bloatware on the laptop ?

[covert fog]

what about that ?

I dont know whats a bloatware or how to recognise it

[rancid loom]

bloatware are softwares that came with your laptop preinstalled when you bought it

[covert fog]

okay, so what do I do wwith them ? How do I see them ?

[sudden sinew]

Bloatwares are softwares installed on your PC which you don't use but it's still taking resources and so on

in context, if you see something microsoft but you don't use it, it's a bloatware and might need deletion

[proven sundial]

I'm just asking about bloatware that could hamper games

Involving acer pre-installed

Software to see if anything could relate

[covert fog]

you mean things like theses ?

[tall acorn]

this is safe to remove

doubt it's causing the issue though

[tall acorn]

do you have any antiviruses installed?

[proven sundial]

I already see the issue

[covert fog]

before Ive had norton, but i deleted it months ago now

now I only have window defender I think

[tall acorn]

there's more stuff as well

[covert fog]

since I didnt installed deliberately any antiviruse

[covert fog]

theses errors are caused by me pressing the power button of my computer to restart it after the screen freeze for some minutes

[proven sundial]

What is using so much memory ?

[tall acorn]

networking bloatware as well

that's one i'd honestly remove no matter what

[covert fog]

actually its my game battlefleet gothic armada 2

[rancid loom]

what's KillerAPS

[covert fog]

it's for the wifi card
what it does exactly ? i dont know, but it was apparently required

[tall acorn]

didn't feel like investigating bloatware earlier and there was a windows error, so i decided to just save it for later

it's network optimization software

[proven sundial]

Oh okay wel corsair icue can go out the window

And killerapps is not needed for sure

[covert fog]

corsair icue was requird for my headphone to work properly :/

[tall acorn]

you can keep whatever is absolutely necessary

anything else i'd remove

[proven sundial]

I see no web based config ?

Some of the headphones have internal memory

If not keep it

[tall acorn]

100% want to get rid of this (the KillerAPS and "Killer xTend Utility Service")

[covert fog]

okay, what should I do exactly ?
should I find in the task manager anything that seem unknow to me and not used/needed and try to get rid of it ?

[tall acorn]

a few months ago i was helping a friend with computer issues, and they had similar network optimization software embedded into their system

absolutely throttling their internet

[tall acorn]

it's complicated if you want to fully purge it

and i won't be here in another 15 - 30 minutes

[proven sundial]

Perhaps look at startup apps

[tall acorn]

persists in task scheduler, services, registry, etc and reinstalls itself upon future updates

possibly won't need to go that deep though

uninstalling whatever bloatware you have in the windows settings will hopefully be good enough for now

[covert fog]

i only have theses activated

[knotty plume]

Nvidia why you so complicated on Linux

[tall acorn]

navigate to here @covert fog

[tall acorn]

do you mind uninstalling iCUE and trying to launch the game after that?

you can reinstall it afterwards if you want

or we can remove all of the other bloatware first

[proven sundial]

Because nvidia closes their firmware making it much harder to properly control

[knotty plume]

Me back and forward to install not to blank screen

[proven sundial]

Yeah makes sense

What distro was it again ?

[covert fog]

its so annoying when there is no clear path about the uninstall of an app

[proven sundial]

if you can't find it there try here

good old control panel

[covert fog]

uninstall it, run the game, same result, crash, freeze

im reinstalling it because i need it

[proven sundial]

sure

hmm for now i can't think what is stopping the initilization of endfield

[toxic atlas]

-# _so many issues solved by a windows reinstall _

[proven sundial]

well nuking it is always an option

but yeah last resort

[covert fog]

if i must do that, then f it i do

but for now, i dont think thats a good idea to do it now

[proven sundial]

it's definitely not worth it for one game

[covert fog]

yes

if only there is a patern

[proven sundial]

you did not change anything in regedit right ?

[covert fog]

regedit ?

[proven sundial]

if you don't know anything about it

then we are good

i was just thinking about a previous user

but yeah i honestly don't know what else could be causing it

[covert fog]

only magic can save me

[proven sundial]

for now i am defeated

[covert fog]

btw, ive installed the game on my phone
...it work, graphic awful, but it work

[proven sundial]

540-12

[covert fog]

540 victory ? x)

[proven sundial]

yeah hahaha

[covert fog]

I guess most of theses victory are just small issue

[proven sundial]

i fixed very complex issues aswell

but some are just

not fixable

[covert fog]

like mine x)

[proven sundial]

THEN WE NUKE THE SYSTEM

https://giphy.com/gifs/80s-akira-oQtO6wKK2q0c8

[covert fog]

nooooooo, i dont want to reset my computer

[proven sundial]

but yeah like i said not worth it

for a game

[molten lava]

Hey guys I am thinking of upgrading my cpu and I am kinda stuck which one is better
Ultra 7 265k
Ultra 5 245k
Ryzen 5 9600x

[topaz hare]

how do i fix visual bug like this, i did restart the game multiple times

[sudden sinew]

why cpu? which one do you have?

also which gpu do you have?

[sudden sinew]

what specs does your PC have?

[molten lava]

I have a Very outdated cpu and I just bought a 9070 xt for 60k INR from an offline store

[toxic atlas]

oh damn that's a good price

still okay even at 68k
though i hope you know you'll need to also change the motherboard & RAM if you change the CPU

(eventually power supply as well if you didn't already when buying the GPU)

[molten lava]

Why ram I have a ddr5 and won't my old mb work it is AM5 and my old processor is Ryzen 5 7500F

[toxic atlas]

well my bad then, you said you had a really old CPU (assumed DDR4 or older)

the 7500f is still a good chip though

[molten lava]

But won't it bottleneck 9070xt

[molten lava]

My oldest cpu is from Inspiron 660s

With igpu

[toxic atlas]

if you play games at 1440p or higher, yeah it will
but at 1080p (and for a good bunch of 1440p games), it'll do mighty fine

[topaz hare]

I5 6500 24gb ram radeon r9 m390 ( yeah a bootcamp imac ). it works perfect before i reinstalling gpu driver which is a better version of the old one

[molten lava]

No I also ordered a 1440p monitor full upgrade yk

[toxic atlas]

90hz ?

[molten lava]

Yup

[toxic atlas]

if you want some proper gains i'd go for a 9800x3d (or hell even the 7800x3d)
difference between a 7500f and a 9600x is barely noticeable, you'd get at most a 10-15% uplift maybe

[tall acorn]

sweet

[tall acorn]

yeah the 7800x3d will suffice

[molten lava]

That's way too expensive

[silk sandal]

okay so uh

ive been receiving error code 0

[toxic atlas]

even the 7800x3d?

[silk sandal]

constantly

i dont know what the problem is

[molten lava]

Yup about 20k INR

[silk sandal]

ive been able to play just fine earlier today

[tall acorn]

change your DNS

[silk sandal]

before the rossi headhunting

dns?

[tall acorn]

Exception Encountered Or ANY Connection Issue [Error Code: 207]

• Change your DNS manually to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudfare), 8.8.8.8 (Google), 9.9.9.9 (Quad9), or use a service such as Cloudfare WARP or Proton VPN to resolve the issue. Switching your internet connection may also work.

you can find it in your windows settings depending on the build you're running

[silk sandal]

im on mobile so im not sure how uh

[tall acorn]

mobile too

[toxic atlas]

honestly that's a really good price for it
cheapest i can find it in my area is around €320 (converted, almost 35k INR)

[molten lava]

No 9600x is 24k and 7800x3d is 47k and ultra 7 is 35k

[tall acorn]

[molten lava]

What happened is it expensive

[still gull]

I got a few hours of gameplay yestorday. Now the game wouldnt start. Sying files were corrupt. I try to repair the files. get error "cant write" tries to reinstall the entire game. Same error again. Relocates game to a new file location and SSD where it will write. Try to start the game after installing the launcher again. Dosent start. Trying to ask the developers behind ehroic game launcher for help on why this is happening. try to find logs. Logs are empty. Tries lutris. Dosent work. I'm feeling like i should just give up on trying to play this game on my gaming pc at this point

[sudden sinew]

if you have AM5 then continue using ryzen instead of switching to intel

bcz it doesn't make sense to switch boards for intel chip

unless you can't have more ddr5

[proven sundial]

if none of the launchers work propertly on your end try installing on steam

[sudden sinew]

rip

[proven sundial]

there is still a pinned method

or faugus

[normal wigeon]

why pipe making weird graphic bugs

like onlt the pipe

[still gull]

Figured it out. Hard reset of heroic launcher

[normal wigeon]

pipes

[sudden sinew]

which wine or proton layer do you use?

[proven sundial]

heroic launcher is not one i use anymore it causes too much issues for me

[still gull]

DW proton. Latest

[sudden sinew]

weird it should work by then

[still gull]

I got it to work again. Had to do a hard reset of the heroic launcher

[sudden sinew]

btw why heroic ;-;

[scarlet kiln]

me using heroic and works fine, both native launcher and epic one

[still gull]

Idk, Lutris is just confuzing and i havent figured out to intergate it in to steam fully yet

[sudden sinew]

yk that epic games is biased against linux sometimes...

also, if you want it popping on steam, use faugus instead of lutris

[still gull]

I'll test it with faugus tomorrow. Dont relly have time for it rn

[sudden sinew]

ok

[golden zenith]

Banned

[sudden sinew]

scam acc?

[golden zenith]

yup

[cursive iron]

Endfield need amd support

and fast

[toxic atlas]

if you're talking about FSR and the likes, Lossless Scaling works wonders

-# (also on linux we can enable FSR on any game)

[wheat turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-chat-gif-20883935

[knotty plume]

[shrewd sparrow]

Clearly there's an issue login off Endfield.

Whenever I turn the game off via AltF4 or full process quit as intended, the CPU, GPU and maybe even RAM start spiking, creating a crash or bluescreen.

I fixed this by lowering to 30fps and 60% render everytime before I quit.

I play the game without problem and somehow the login screen overloads my PC.

This is an elephant we need to address

[vague matrix]

help me, how to open ?

[shrewd sparrow]

I can play the game for 16 hours straight without problem, but even just open the game and turn it off can blue-screen my PC

[toxic atlas]

blame the anticheat

[shrewd sparrow]

this place is for bug and crashes, not gameplay help

[toxic atlas]

#help

[empty arch]

#help

[shrewd sparrow]

vào sever Việt mà hỏi cha

[vague matrix]

oh ok

[shrewd sparrow]

back to the topic

[toxic atlas]

long story short
anticheat on windows is shit

[wheat turtle]

why u alt+f4 tho

[shrewd sparrow]

why not

[wheat turtle]

true

[toxic atlas]

i also quit the game by alt+f4 tbh

[wheat turtle]

what ur pc specs if i may ask

[shrewd sparrow]

but it's not the issue. Turning off via logoff button as intended, still cause unintended issues

[wheat turtle]

hmm

[shrewd sparrow]

you may

[wheat turtle]

ye noticed

tho dont get crashes like bluescreen like u said

[toxic atlas]

that's not a real issue that's affecting your PC
the PlatformProcess process takes care of in-game webviews, and doesn't get cleaned up properly when the game exits or crashes, so it crashes itself as well

[wheat turtle]

i see

[toxic atlas]

so things like the initial login screen
in-game news page
the banner details
and microtransactions
are all done through webviews controlled by PlatformProcess

[wheat turtle]

i see

[shrewd sparrow]

if no bluescreen, then the PC freeze for 10 sec before restarting

weird i may add

[wheat turtle]

could be a corrupted system file

tried sfc scan or dism?

[toxic atlas]

or just KLAC being shit on their system, wouldn't be the first

[wheat turtle]

could be

[proven sundial]

huh

it sounds like the other guy

[wheat turtle]

wait u cant edit messages in server

[proven sundial]

so no other reliability errors ?

[wheat turtle]

mine?

not really

[proven sundial]

no his hahaha

[proven sundial]

he'll come back i suppose

[proven sundial]

how are you ?

[sudden sinew]

btw who is "he"? is it that ddustin guy above?

[sudden sinew]

[proven sundial]

yeah ah well

[warped copper]

I entered the new puzzle event and my game crashed instantly, could be nvidia, but I have outdated driver to circumvent it.

[sudden sinew]

what card do you use?

[warped copper]

5080

[sudden sinew]

shouldn't crash like that lol

which driver ver do you have atm?

[warped copper]

591.74

[sudden sinew]

upgrade to 591.86

lemme find link

[toxic atlas]

why not send him to 596 directly?

[sudden sinew]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/263200/

[sudden sinew]

596 works now? just for sure lmao

[toxic atlas]

596(.02) is fine
595(.xx) is still fucked

[wheat turtle]

im just gonna upgrade to 600 when release

[sudden sinew]

ok

[toxic atlas]

though a crash like that should warrant a game integrity check from the launcher

[sudden sinew]

https://international-gfe.download.nvidia.com/Windows/596.02hf/596.02-desktop-notebook-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch.hf.exe

[toxic atlas]

@warped copper , can you find the game crash in the windows event viewer? process is Endfield.exe (not PlatformProcess)

[still gull]

It refused to work yet again. I tried my way with faugus, but it would not register the 1 tb drive that i was going to install the game on, and refused to launch the game. I'm about to give up on trying to get this damn game to work on Bazzite

[sudden sinew]

@warped copper
Install this instead then

[toxic atlas]

i am on bazzite, game works mighty fine
what's your configuration? want to install the game on a separate drive?

[sudden sinew]

how did you mount your 1tb drive lol

[still gull]

Tried installing the offichal launcher installer form the website and put it thgrough faugus. But it only registers the 250 gb drive and I cant navigate to the 1 tb

[still gull]

/run/media/system/storage/

[sudden sinew]

same name and same path?

[still gull]

/etc/ This is my 250 gb

[sudden sinew]

normally when I migrate stuffs it works if I set the prefix location correct

[toxic atlas]

change the faugus default prefix location setting to /run/media/system/storage/Faugus (from the gear icon in the app, click the looking glass to select the path)
after that, create the game instance, name it Arknights: Endfield, leave proton to GE Latest
in the path, select the GRYPHLINK installer

[sudden sinew]

...

can you please go to partition manager and screenshot the 2 devices please?

you got / which is mounted from your main linux system

other devices are to be found in /dev

sdaXY ir nvmeXYn1pZ

[toxic atlas]

t4, it's really not the time to bring forth the tutorials

[knotty plume]

[toxic atlas]

still trying to make fedora work?

[sudden sinew]

well it'd be recommended bcz I'm lost of track which devices they use and how they mount

assuming they don't want to lsblk

[knotty plume]

Nah try, opensuse issue on stuck black screen with cursor, right now try pop

[toxic atlas]

pop is probably the worst offender lmao

you really going through the bad options first, huh?

[sudden sinew]

real lmfao

[sudden sinew]

^^

you'll even regret linux after unstalling pop without knowing it's best side you'll experience best

[knotty plume]

Just testing

[sudden sinew]

btw why opensuse

[toxic atlas]

yeah how'd you even reach SUSE LMAO

[knotty plume]

Find alternative

Fedora

[sudden sinew]

I'm wondering what you're finding

if you love tinkering and freedom space, I'd highly recommend CachyOS

[sudden sinew]

every single distro has office and browsing options so

[knotty plume]

I'm considering that distro, let's download first

[warped shore]

i canr connect to the server..but my internet is fine

[sudden sinew]

are you in EU by chance?

[warped shore]

Yes

How did you know

[still gull]

I'm not getting this to work rn. I'll just do a full reinstall at this point cause i have royaly fucked up somewhere

[sudden sinew]

assuming between EU and NA

[still gull]

Also it's dinner and i dont have time for more of this rn

[warped shore]

How do i fix this? i need to pull for Rossi

[sudden sinew]

change dns to quad9

9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112

[warped shore]

What is DnS?

[sudden sinew]

Something converting google.com to an IP address (172.217.171.110 e.g. ) so your PC knows where to connect to google

[toxic atlas]

long story short some internet providers fail at their only job, routing sites
especially with Cloudflare lately, what Gryphline uses for their infrastructure and game servers
changing the DNS settings on your PC/Phone/PS5 will make it so those requests don't go to the ISP-chosen addresses (which the responses are quite often outdated), but ones that get updated properly and just work (in most cases anyway)

DNS is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses
since computers don't actually know who's "facebook.com" (example), they know how to connect to IP addresses instead
so a DNS is queried, asked "who is this site?", and responds with the address

-# (most ISPs provide their own DNS servers and it's just an overall sh!tshow, unless the user is technical enough to change the settings on their router)

[sudden sinew]

-# lmao

[sudden sinew]

^ this btw

[warped shore]

i am on my phone

[sudden sinew]

on wifi settings then

[warped shore]

I will check

this is all to technical but i will look it up

[toxic atlas]

you can give the Cloudflare app, 1.1.1.1 (and enabling WARP inside the app), a try first

if you want something easy (that's about 80% likely to fix it)

[toxic atlas]

guaranteed fix is VPN

[sudden sinew]

-# ah yes "Automatic"

[toxic atlas]

i will beat yo' ass

[sudden sinew]

whaa

I did 9.9.9.11 on my router

[short ridge]

Yo what am i witnessing rn

Why are we beating t404

[proven sundial]

You are witnessing conflict

[warped shore]

is it this?

or not?

[sudden sinew]

yes I think
make a screenshot of "Private DNS Provider hostname"

[toxic atlas]

add private dns provider hostname
one.one.one.one

[sudden sinew]

it'll show empty fields I hope

[sudden sinew]

btw wtf is wrong

using class C Private IP?

or using 9.9.9.11 instead of 9.9.9.9?

don't scare me

[golden fern]

updated to the newest one and restarted my pc, its better now

[sudden sinew]

which driver version?

[toxic atlas]

596.02?

[fleet folio]

Hi I’m playing on the PlayStation right now, recently got a new tv/monitor and I’m having trouble finding the setting to adjust the safe area for my screen does anyone happen to know how exactly I go about doing that

[summer pagoda]

Safe area?

[sudden sinew]

I own no PS

[toxic atlas]

game doesn't have safe area settings, it relies on the console's screen settings

[fleet folio]

Ok thanks

[sudden sinew]

interesting

[golden fern]

595.97

[sudden sinew]

[summer pagoda]

Hey if it works it works

[warped shore]

it wint let me type just 1.1.1.1

[sudden sinew]

https://international-gfe.download.nvidia.com/Windows/596.02hf/596.02-desktop-notebook-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch.hf.exe

[toxic atlas]

do you happen to be running the game in DX11 mode? (the checkmark in the launcher under the play button)

[sudden sinew]

add 1.0.0.1 in the 2nd field

[golden fern]

no im running on dx12

[sudden sinew]

like... --dx12?

[summer pagoda]

Special user

[toxic atlas]

game doesn't have dx12
it's only vulkan (default) and dx11

[golden fern]

oh lol well i guess vulkan yeah

[toxic atlas]

that's surprising, all 595.x drivers have been borked on vulkan, with multiple games

[toxic atlas]

dude... just let them use the app instead

[summer pagoda]

I've had no stutters in endfield with the latter half of 595 drivers

[toxic atlas]

it's there specifically for less technical users

[summer pagoda]

Still on 79

[sudden sinew]

they typed 1.1.1.1 and said this alone wont work

[warped shore]

it wint let me save

[sudden sinew]

huh

wtf

[toxic atlas]

oh, they got adguard configured

[dapper saffron]

that thing requires a link-ish

[toxic atlas]

news for you, latest android versions only accept domain names there

[sudden sinew]

cancel it then

[dapper saffron]

ah heah domain names

[sudden sinew]

I mean wtf did they type in

1.1.1.1.1.0.0.1

[warped shore]

Yeah that one was my brother i think

[sudden sinew]

hmmm

[warped shore]

what else can i try

[summer pagoda]

No backup dns anymore

Just the domain name

You could just get the 1.1.1.1 app...

[toxic atlas]

use the 1.1.1.1 App, from Play Store

[wheat turtle]

app much easier

[summer pagoda]

1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

[wheat turtle]

[sudden sinew]

wtf did they do?? Are they having room temp IQ or smth???

I mean google by they btw

[summer pagoda]

It's more user friendly this way

[toxic atlas]

you suck at guiding non-technical users

[warped shore]

it says cannot access internet

[summer pagoda]

[sudden sinew]

...

dns.quad9.net then

[toxic atlas]

after enabling the app?

or after erasing the Private DNS configuration?

[sudden sinew]

or https://dns11.quad9.net/dns-query

[warped shore]

after saving it, a notif appears saying private dns server cant connrct

[sudden sinew]

umm may I ask which dns server are you using?

[summer pagoda]

Just get the app

[sudden sinew]

els turn it off

use the cloudflare one app

[warped shore]

the one you say

i type it in

and then i leave settings

[sudden sinew]

oh

I see

[toxic atlas]

please erase it (turn the setting to automatic)
and use the app instead

[sudden sinew]

yup erase it

[toxic atlas]

(or set it back to what your brother previously set it to, dns.adguard-dns.com)

[warped shore]

okay i will

i am now downloadin thr app

it is the one Agent?

[warped shore]

oh

i open the app and it says un unknown error occured

[summer pagoda]

[toxic atlas]

that.. sounds like your internet provider is blocking all things cloudflare

[summer pagoda]

Huh
