    I had the exact fucking same thing happen with metal gear rising, except it wasnt the drivers it was the wine config missing a ddl library for, wait for it: a fucking vr support library. A 3d PS3 game that doesnt support vr in any way, needs a vr library to function. Still pissed about that

    “Delete and re-download the entire game, but use a 56k modem.”

    “My God house, the game launched fine! But how did the 56k modem have any effect?”

    “It didn’t, the reinstall would have worked either way, I just wanted to waste your time as punishment for being stupid.”

    Does anyone else get a crazy weird robotic static echoey sound on Arch (CachyOS)? It’s like it starts fast then gets slower and more drawn out. It is very sporadic so I haven’t been able to record it well. It’s happened on a USB headset as well so I know it’s not my speakers.

      Have you checked your speakers? Mine make a weird noise but it’s because of interference from the cable and the motherboard I think, so I just bend the cable slightly until it stops making the noise.

        I have no reason to believe the problem will go away if I use arch. I am not going to reinstall an entirely different operating system that the one I’m using just because every now and then my PC makes some funky noises with the hopes that maybe it will fix it. That’s crazy.

    A House-like TV show about troubleshooting computer issues would be absolutely fascinating to me and a dozen other people. All along you thought it must be drivers but it turns out that the exact RGB configuration used on the case fans combined with the anime waifu wallpaper caused a slight over-voltage on a RAM chip resulting in game crashes and only Hackerman was brilliant enough to see it.

        even the experienced ones! do you ever watch Linus Tech Tips? it’s so fun watching them rip up the water-cooling loops after realizing they put it together wrong, or trying and failing at different EFI hacks to get weird prototype cards to work or figure out why their mystery hardware isn’t booting.

          After Emily came out, left the show shortly after, and then had guarded but definitely-not-positive things to say about LMG I’ve had a hard time watching. Nobody has explicitly said that she was dropped from the show for coming out as trans but if it walks like a duck…

      Whenever my games start causing crashes I replug my 4070Ti power cable and it runs again for 3 months. Thanks NVIDIA

    I recently had a game tell my my NVIDIA driver was out of date by like a year.

    Ngl I just ignored it, that’s like a 500mb update and I’m just not interested in the time it takes unless something breaks.

      Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?

        Because I already have them and don’t need to download them again. 500mb on a mediocre day is like 2 hours.

        If you mean online games, I tend not to because they often work poorly. For some strange, totally inexplicable reason that definitely has nothing to do with my terrible internet.

              You can play online games and use discord on that.

              Lived in a place that advertised 100Mbps speeds. Bullshit. It had 25Mbps on a good day. Lets not talk about the bad days.

              Bit or byte, those are completely different experiences.

              We moved this week, so we had to swap our internet contract, because if we moved with the type of connection we had, we’d only get 16Mbits/s. With our current one, we get I think 500Mbit/s or about 60MByte/s

              Instant gratification has rotted y’all’s brains. A stable 25 down is not just survivable but cromulent. I’m on 100 down 40 up and can’t imagine how having a gigabit connection would make my experience any better when the bottlenecks are generally upstream of the ISP.

                100% this. Latency is far more important than bandwidth for most things and I’d much rather have a 50/20 FTTP service than a 300/100 cable or DSL line.

                Nah, fuck off with that shit. I wanna download a modern game in less than 3 hours, thank you very much

                My 500 both ways has yet to hit a bottleneck when it comes to large downloads, and has saved me hours upon hours of time since I got upgraded from 100. You have no idea what youre on about
