    ROG STRIX B760-I Issue with drivers

    I would avoid Armoury Crate and get each one and expand the drop down.

    ROG STRIX B760-I Issue with drivers

    Thanks everyone. No more yellow warnings :). It was a bit of carelessness on my part. First time I installed Armoury Crate and let it do it's thing. Once that failed, I went to the site and thought I got everything, but it wasn't the case.

    Anyone here collect classic/vintage PC games?

    I used to collect till I moved to Japan 15 years ago. I think the majority of my hoard was sold here. I do have a few rare items still.

    Returnal (Confirmed)

    I've been getting Fatal Error and collision bugs. Also this one right in the middle of my no-death run: Nemesis did not fully form in the final phase.. so I could not damage it directly (unless I was WAY close and under it).

    Returnal (Confirmed)

    Found some random collision issues, items floating here and there, but nothing game-breaking. Didn't try to 100% on PS5, but will go for it on PC.

    Returnal (Confirmed)

    For me it is. Bought it twice. Getting ready to start a second playthough soon on PC.

    Returnal (Confirmed)

    Put in 100+ hours on ps5 version. So when this unlocked, put in 2 hours before bed. Finished the first three biomes, so far no death :). I am sure I'll die on that swimming butthole mid level boss in the 6th biome. It runs great at 3840x1600 (funky res, black bars on the side) on a 3090. Using...

    Returnal (Confirmed)

    I wonder if this will let users sync progress from PS5? The way the game works: you loose weapons and perks, you keep upgrades to the character and key items. The story is told via recordings, flashbacks and discovery of artifacts. A lot of it is up for interpretation. It took a while to adjust...

    Windows 10 Screensaver issue/ AWCC

    I've been having issues with my screensaver NOT starting up after the determined time. It started when I got my AW38 last year, discovered it was the auto-install of AWCCService and Dell's Alienware software. Found out about 4 months ago, stopped the service, but it came back. Finally I blocked...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    The game looks nice, 80% chance I'll get it for PC. Never even watched a Harry Potter movie, but it looks fun as hell.

    The Callisto Protocol (survival/horror)

    The patch works. But I can see performance left on the table. I would like more options for graphics so those people can tweak to their desires. I really don't like how it's a "surprise" to them about performance (I am sure the project engineers knew, but were tied to other higher priority...

    The Callisto Protocol (survival/horror)

    What is so annoying is that anyone who devs with Unreal knows of the shader compilation thing... not like it snuck up on them. Stutters are so bad you KNOW when something is going to happen (jump scare for example..). "Some users..."

    The Callisto Protocol (survival/horror)

    The shader compile Unreal Engine nonsense is A LOT. Really annoying. Gonna wait for a fix. It would be nice to have an option to compile all shaders... I don't mind waiting 5~7 minutes (Horizon Zero Dawn...) if it means no stutter.

    Review the game you finished recently.

    Did a marathon of games: Uncharted 1 Going back to a game from 2007 really shows. A lot of the controls feel sluggish and dated. If you look at this as a game that at the time was only going to be one released, then you can appreciate what they were going for. Action - The game has lots of...

    Gaming in your 40s

    Both my kids (19 and 13) are into Minecraft, youngest is into Splatoon and family games, so we play a lot of those. The oldest moved out, and there is no wife/gf, the youngest son and I balance games, TV and reading. Since I work from home, I can play games a lot more. My oldest is into Monster...

    Can't update 2009 Macbook Pro

    I got my hands on the actual OS install disk and got Mountain Lion on it. Then tried auto updates, but looks like it's too old to auto update (or even connect to AppStore), then I downloaded the DMG from Apple and had to install from the USB. bobsuncledan - Thanks I am downloading this and the...

    What to do with XB360

    A while ago I posted a thread and I got all I wanted out of the system. The games I didn't finish (including arcade) I cleared. Even the bad ones... So what can I do with this system? I was going to toss it on the curb and let someone take it for free. But if there is a possibility of running...

    Can't update 2009 Macbook Pro

    Ok, I think fatigue played a role, as it worked this morning first shot. The disk boots, but I get the interdiction sign. Ok, gonna pester the owner if they have the original disks around... this is bonkers and I am tired.

    Can't update 2009 Macbook Pro

    I am having quite the adventure. So as stated above I have been trying to make bootable disk images. And it looks like I have been doing them wrong from Windows using various apps. Where they DO make a disk image from the DMG correctly, that DMG is not bootable, and needs to be mounted then...

    Can't update 2009 Macbook Pro

    You are right, I was looking at the graph backwards... had the newest to the left. So with that thinking I should install Mountain Lion, as it was what was installed when purchased, then do the Upgrade Waltz to El Capitan. Then why in the heck does the thing try to install High Sierra, when it...

    Can't update 2009 Macbook Pro

    It should support, because it was running El Capitan before I wiped it, and I did the OS upgrades via the AppStore to get there. My best best bet is to get access to the disks that came with the device and run from there methinks.

    Can't update 2009 Macbook Pro

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and for the life of me, after wiping it, can't get it to install a fresh copy of the OS (High Sierra or Catalina). I have tried to... install from the OS's built in recovery partition. use Internet Recovery. install Catalina from a USB. Set the date back a month after...

    Non-HDMI XB360 (looking for VGA to HDMI)

    That looks rather nice, I tried looking for this item on Amazon Japan, no luck (so far, might be listed under a different name...) I got damn lucky as someone listed the ONLY component adapter on Yahoo! auctions recently.

    Non-HDMI XB360 (looking for VGA to HDMI)

    I'm gonna call up some friends in the city to check out some of the used game hardware stores. Lately a lot of stores started getting rid of PS2/Vita//Xbox hardware and software for space. So it's a bit hard.

    Non-HDMI XB360 (looking for VGA to HDMI)

    It's been damn near impossible to find one without the huge markup/sold as junk. So pretty much, whichever I find first (for under $15)

    Non-HDMI XB360 (looking for VGA to HDMI)

    Trying to connect my 360 to my TV and the only connections are HDMI or component. I've tried many VGA to HDMI connectors and they have all failed. Is there a legit option for this? Something from MS? Or am I just out of luck when choosing from the 1000's of "vga to hdmi" adapters from...

    Strange Desktop glitches w/3090

    Venturi - The glitch issues went away with a driver update (using DDU). So I had pretty much given up as I was under pressure to deliver some assets. After it was finished I went back to looking into the issue. I got the new PSU and set up my other machine with the 3090 and it ran fine. While...

    Unreal Engine 5 Feature Showcase

    If you have any kind of coding experience (HTML does not count, sorry) I would say C of course. If you have zero coding experience, you can still start with Blueprints to see what you want to do visually, then start replacing that functionality with C.

    GDC 2022 - Unity tech demo "Enemies"

    For me it's the hands that bug me about the character (reminds me of Seinfeld Manhands :P). Hair, the cloth and look of the environment not at all. Mouth/tongue interactions will always look odd. Even in off-line rendered films. Not sure if there is a game production that is going for this...

    GDC 2022 - Unity tech demo "Enemies"

    For those who like to keep up with these things. In terms of what is visibly displayed, I find this more impressive than the Matrix or Valley of the Ancients demo by Epic Games. This character looks damn near photo-real. Other than a few issues on the skin and lighting, I like this more than...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I should get my copy Friday (JPN release date). The game looks amazeballs. PC version for sure is on the way, but not waiting on it, and other than framerate and a few touches here and there, not worth the wait (this time).

    Strange Desktop glitches w/3090

    This is the most messed up thing ever... On a backup PSU. Been gaming, running UE5 and 3DS Max since Sunday. Games are at max settings and keeping the room nice and warm. Installed Sifu Thursday night and started playing... Crashed to desktop. No clue why it crashed all of a sudden. Started...

    Strange Desktop glitches w/3090

    I spent the week cleaning my workspace to look for the other 8pin for PCIe for the 750w. Found it and restarted the tests. 850w PS crashed on both the 980ti and the 3090. Peak power is about 350w~351w. The app would crash, logs only peaked at 352w. Once I got a BSOD, but this is rare. Moved to...
