What are you playing?

[Space Lynx]

That one is on my replay list! Thanks for the tip on the fps trick

if you want more specific instructions (but my simple definition should do the trick):

Steam Community :: Guide :: Play the game at 144 fps with DirectX 11 Enhanced Features

You can play the DirectX 9 version at high frame rates with v-sync on, but if you tried to play the DirectX 11 version, it will be defaulted to 60 fps. This guide will show you a simple trick to play

steamcommunity.com

@xrobwx71 also it defaults to whatever your monitor refresh rate is... so if your doing 100hz 3440x1440 the alt + enter trick will do 100hz 100 fps. etc


EDIT: I APPARENTLY REMEMBERED WRONG, YOU HAVE TO DO ALT+ ENTER 3X NOT TWICE.... cause you want to finish in full screen mode which makes it look better too.

Finally played through Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus all in order of release.
Right now I am finishing up (or at least I think I am) Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Youngblood is a little confusing, but still pretty fun.
This series is definitely not for folks that are real squeamish

The first game was very solid, second was OK but the third was pretty dumbfounded and the fourth went even worse with the mechanics and the feminist stuff tbh.

I did this one a couple years ago, it really holds up well... also if you hit alt + enter then hit alt + enter again, it would turn on high refresh mode so I was getting 144 fps 144hz smoothness... really hope you didn't play it all at 60 fps, not many people know that trick for that game lol

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip!

Just remember, you have to do Alt + Enter 3x in a row to get the max refresh in game fullscreen. i believe if you do it twice, it its max refresh but windowed mode, but when you do it third time it will go to fullscreen mode... the game is much more fun at max refresh.

I'm currently downloading Total War: Rome REMASTERED, and it seems I will play this game for so long time! Yeah. The preload is active now, and it has a 44GB storage capacity, with a 24GB downloading capacity.

Just completed Quake, what a great classic! The final episode was quite hard, some real old school challenge there. Gonna try out the official Mission Packs now.

Happy 25th birthday Quake!

Was I the only one who had this game be a part of their childhood? A major part for mine in fact.

I didn't grow up with DOOM, I grew up with this:

Hexen Beyond Heretic, used to scare the crap out of me as a kid but I'm pretty desensitized now. Had this game on my craptacular Windows 98 rig with a blazing fast Pentium III and humongous 8 GB hard drive, along with Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Re-Volt, which I got from my cousin's CD full of games, and Age of Empires 1 Rise of Rome Trial, which I found on my Windows 98 CD.

Had no internet so I binged all of these games... even started messing with HTML files and creating my old webpages, created my own fake search engine that just linked to other pages when you typed something in, created my own fake chat rooms, and even messed with Microsoft Comic Chat. Gotta say, pretty impressive for a 8 year old. Lol. Good old days.

Hexen Beyond Heretic

Oh man, that is/was an awesome game!!!!!!!

Of course Heretic was also an amazing game in it's time. Fond memories!!!!!!

Jeez, thanks @Vanny , now I'm going to have to fire up the ole XP gaming system and jump in on some Quake, Heretic, Hexen, etc....

Nice profile pic btw, Warcraft 3 for life.

Age of Empires 1 Rise of Rome Trial, which I found on my Windows 98 CD.

That's exactly how I found out about the franchise, fantastic games! Eventually I completed AoE1 and 2 with their expansions. And Jazz Jackrabbit was probably my favorite platformer, absolutely loved the soundtrack

Resident Evil Village demo - it's gripping stuff!

Metro Exodus

"Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition" with Raytracing as minimum will be free May 6th for all Metro Exodus PC owners. A separate game/download.

About to playtest Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator which is in pre-alpha I believe. No monsters or mutants apparently, which is rare for a game set in a post nuclear Russian disaster.

Save 30% on Chornobyl Liquidators on Steam

Chornobyl Liquidators is not a fantastic tale of exploring the Zone. It's a story about real people facing a real threat — the CNPP disaster. Invisible radiation, KGB, difficult moral choices... Do you have enough courage and strength to take on this challenge?

Cool, looking forward to my 2060 being converted to a brick by one of my favorite games

Finally finished Bully Scholarship Edition. The story is so cheesy, so corny. Feels like teenagers wrote the story. I love it.
I'm silently mulling playing old Rockstar games after this. Cause let's be honest, huge downtime between R* releases mean their old games are way old.

At least you aren't saying that with a 6900xt.

Oooo...

I'm wincing for you all the way over here.

Honestly, I am more excited to play it at 100fps and decent settings instead of like med-low at 45fps. I am just still pissed at the story.

Wait, did we talk about that before? I feel like we might've, way back. But somehow it surprises me a little now that you hated the story that much.

But yeah... it's not a very well optimized game to begin with. I've noticed it has some REALLY nasty choke points where I swear it's trying to render the whole map or some shit. I was happy with the 2060 with DLSS though (once they fixed it.) I was doing 1080/60 at the time and ran RT high on high settings. I could do ultra, but it crosses the dip threshold. Now I've got a 165hz monitor and it does good on plain ultra with half-sync. 82/3 FPS feels like a good compromise for high fidelity on a game like that. It's not so much reflex as it is patience and strategy, combat-wise. And due to having a 165hz monitor, it sits right in that FPS sweet spot for what this GPU handles steadily.

Didn't find a good pic of my girl Chloe kissing her girlfriend, I'll try to have some rapid fire with screenshots as I'll play LiS BtS soon, I love Chloe and the game.

There is only one part I hated but it was obvious it was coming.
