    Dead Island 2

    Confirmed dumbass here. A majority of my weapons were level 4 while me and the zombies were level 9/8. Took me like 10-20 hits to kill zombies. :facepalm: Just picture some idiot swinging a golf club a million times and barely making a dent.

    Dead Island 2

    Not sure if I'm not leveling up correctly (I am utilizing the cards), but I got to the boss fight at the movie studio and the regular zombies are feeling more and more tedious to kill. I'm level 9, but many of my weapons seem to be around level 4; is that the problem? Do I need to be trashing my...

    They really killed it with the lighting. Trigger warning:

    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

    Is the audio weird for anyone else? I bought the game a while back and don't remember noticing it, but I saw discussion on the Steam forum, ran the game and noticed that the gun audio is strangely quiet compared to the PS5 version. I ran the game in 7.1, 5.1, and stereo and the guns sounded the...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    How do you use stealth on ultra hard? Are you slowly picking away at them while hiding and then changing hiding spots and waiting for them to stop looking for you?

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I both disabled shader cache, rebooted, removed files and sometimes just deleted what I could without disabling, both forced the game to rebuild shaders, neither were a long-term solution for me.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I'm well past this part, didn't have hitching there and still don't have any 10+ hours later. Easy solution: Wipe and re-install Windows. ;) I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of GPU driver bug associated with this game. Lots of people report stutter with all kinds of supposed...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I ended up doing a clean install of Windows 11, wiped the OS drive and re-installed most stuff, and the game ran flawlessly for two hours before I quit playing. I went through a few areas and cut scenes, so I think I put it through its paces. I ran on the 'very high' preset at 3440×1440 with the...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    It's an i7-9700K, 32GB RAM, RTX3090 (24GB VRAM), PCIe SSDs running at 3.0 speeds. The CPU is on the low-ish side (their minimum / recommended is i3-8100 / i5-8600), but CPU utilization is around 70% and GPU is around 70% with the game capped at 60FPS. Even if I drop to the very low preset the...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Welcome to the club. Last of Us runs fine here, albeit I need to turn down some things, but it otherwise runs smooth. My drives aren't encrypted, I'm about to start removing software that might be resident (Citrix Workspace, Logitech, NZXT) to see if that matters. Game mostly runs smooth, but...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I've played for 10 hours and can say they did a good job. It seems that all features of the Dual Sense controller work, even the speaker; I've only used it hardwired, can't say how it performs wireless. I'm still running into weird stutter after playing for a bit even after using DDU to...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I somehow solved my stutter / hitching issue. I'm not really sure what I did, but I did go into NVCP and the new Nvidia app and reset the main GPU settings to defaults. I also forced RBAR support via Nvidia Profile Inspector. After a reboot, I noticed that the game takes longer to compile...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    i7-9700K, RTX3090, PCIe SSD here, I know I'm pushing it, but it seems to run fairly well cranked up, however, I noticed I had some hitching. I typically have a 98FPS cap set and force vsync on via NVCP or ProfileInspector, I also set my display to 100Hz in the game settings if supported; this...

    How is Windows 11's Dynamic Lighting (built-in RGB control) coming along?

    I'm on an old Gigabyte Z390 motherboard (+ i7-9700K) with an EVGA RTX3090, NZXT Kraken X cooler, and G.Skill RGB RAM (because there wasn't a non-RGB option at the time), and the only thing that Windows 11 seems to natively support RGB for is my Logitech G703 mouse, which is hilarious because you...

    Need for Speed Unbound

    I've played for 6 hours. I'm not sure if they've fixed the game since release, but the AI and police don't seem any more aggressive than in past NFS games. Yes the AI does some annoying stuff and seems to miraculously recover, yes you're probably screwed if you have a major wreck (you can...
