Tweak your ram and use co+pbo, gain about 25% performance, then bottleneck will go away :)
hell i know how to do that shite lol ryzen is a new thing for me and updating the bios got me a while :roll:
i looked for tutorials on youtube but didnt find a reliable source with same setup as mine.
another thing is that im watching my cpu going high in temps over 71~72c where it used to stay playing BFV or BF2042
to 77c, no idea if this is caused for pushing all cores on that bottleneck :confused:

Save corruption is something that can randomly happen. Don't use Auto save. Save manually. When you want to load a save, don't do it directly from in-game. first exit to the game menu and then load your save from there. < This is what I remember from the guide lines for both Skyrim, Oblivion and other old Fallout Bethesda/Oblivion games. Maybe the new Fallout 4 isn't affected? I don't know.
If you use the script extender (The name doesn't imply much, but it does fix game engine and mainly memory management issues) with the three Unofficial patches, you are golden! However, if you find this overwhelming for you, Just use the Script extender. It is very short of size and won't edit game data or mess with your game installation, it would just run for its own. And you can run with or without it, without affecting your save games. So you don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is extracting certain files from the archive into the main folder of the Oblivion game. Run the executable with Admin rights. That's it.

The old Script Extender is just called OBSE. Don't use it. Use the new xOBSE

According to the README:

IF YOU ARE USING THE STEAM VERSION OF OBLIVION:
  1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_steam_loader.dll and the Data folder to your Oblivion directory. This is usually "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\oblivion".
  2. Launch Oblivion via Steam or by running Oblivion.exe. OBSE will automatically be run along with Oblivion when launched. To disable this, rename or move obse_steam_loader.dll. You do not need to use obse_loader.exe unless you are running the editor.
IF YOU PURCHASED A RETAIL (NON-STEAM) VERSION OF OBLIVION: (I guess GOG included)
  1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_loader.exe and the Data folder to your Oblivion directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder, and should contain files called "Oblivion.exe" and "OblivionLauncher.exe".
  2. Run oblivion by running obse_loader.exe from the Oblivion directory.
If you use a desktop shortcut to launch Oblivion normally, just update the shortcut to point to obse_loader.exe instead of oblivion.exe.
Great, thanks for the tips, but can I use Vortex mod manger to install the xOBSE?

Update: forget it, vortex has already installed it.

Finally finished Immortals Fenyx Rising base game, about 40+ hours put into it.
Done a good ammount of random activities/vaults and pretty much all of the main side missions:
Fenyx1.jpg


In overall I liked the game and the whole not so serious/funny mood + the mythology theme.
My only issue was that some of the puzzles/vaults are just crazy/overdone and straight out pain in the ass to deal with so I skipped the worst ones if possible.:oops:

Now to decide if I want to jump to the 3 DLC I own with the game or trake a break and play something else for a while.

No worries, you're good. This thread is about what video games people are playing in general and not limited to just PC.

I wanna try out the new upcoming New World Brimstone, it sounds really amazing to me. New World had a bad start but with the new Expansion it could be much better.
Does anyone start to play it too?

I've been spending time with the ladies lately:

V and Judy in Cyberpunk 2077:

View attachment 262891

And my now Level 80 in Guild Wars 2:

View attachment 262889

One thing I struggled with playing Guild Wars 2 was the combat just felt like button mashing, like I didn't really have to think about anything. I only made it to the level 20's or so... does it get better at 80? I just felt like no strategy was needed at all, I just button mash constantly and I win easily. Just found that really frustrating so I quit the game.

What class is that level 80 and do you like the combat, and if so why?

Fixing to start Star Wars: Dark Forces (1995). It's and oldie but I didn't get to play it back in the day. Too busy for the most part for many video games. Now I have time. I will get it from GOG. I have had great success with GOG playing old games on Win 10.

Do the entire series. I mever played Dark Forces either, but Dark Forces 2 (with the expansion!) is excellent .

PVE openworld maybe buttonmash friendly but PVP most certainly isnt. Mash friendly it only is because there is no challenge in the content. Try dungeons or fractals while mashing. Youll die the moment your group is no longer carrying you.

Nah, this game is on the very top end of skill level cap in realtime combat for MMOs. Mashing will create latency on the queue of actions you do, making you slower or just skipping attacks once you queue too many. Good timing on actions will improve your dps and allow you to pull off combos and actually hit something.

Similarly, all those buffs (boons) and debuffs are important, even though the game isnt great at making you feel their impact. But theyre all short duration so your rotation makes or breaks having near-continuous buffs going on. Mashing is a ticket to the bottom of the ladder there too. Builds rely on constant boons: I run a Firebrand healer that will give the party constant Quickness, for example, while Revenants can provide Alacrity. This makes or breaks lots of dungeons.

A Human Engineer, now a Mechanist. @Vayra86 explained the combat better than I could have. I've stayed away from the dungeons, the PvP, and WvW. The PvE combat can be a mashfest if you want to, but, at least with the Engineer, there's some additional complexity you can use if you choose too.

I mainly wanted to take a fresh character from 0-80 and just enjoy the environment. I bought the game at launch and took a Sylvari Ranger to mid 40's and then also stopped playing.

It appears they've made 0-80 easier than it was at launch as I have 84 hours to reach 80 + 3. I didn't use any level ups, but I think I used a few 2 hour +50% experience boosters mainly by mistake. The Ranger has 117 hours played.

For me, the game ticks all the right boxes for what I want to do with a game like this. I've been a casual player of MMOs since vanilla WoW time, and this is a pretty great experience - especially now that it's free to play.

Unless you deleted your characters from back in the day, I'm sure they're still there and you can pop in and give it another try.

I think if you smoke ciggs in Finland you should pay higher cost on taxes for your universal healthcare, rest of citizenry should not be punished for the increased issues caused by a lower immune system that is chosen, not inherited.
Proper random comment of le day, wow :D

Also.. if you start there where do you stop? Why smoking but not obesity, drug use, alcohol...

Trying my luck at gnawing through wood and occasionally metal in Timberborn. I dig it.

Airborne Kingdom

Pretty cool, relaxing, but runs out of juice quite fast, complete a game and you've seen it all. Below is creative mode, and when you hit >250 population the performance will keep diving. 516 pop runs at a whoppin 23 fps. But that's okay, as in, you don't really need much to play and build.

Mechanics are fun for a city builder, though I had hoped they'd taken things a bit further. Example: cities can tilt if you divide the weight on them unevenly/don't provide enough lift to stay afloat, and this makes pops unhappy but also stops you from building further; 10 degrees already is a hard limit there. Similarly, resource management is a bit of a learning curve, but that caps off rapidly too and micro management is minimal beyond it. Strangely, you can't stop workers from doing a thing in quite a few situations, while worker management is really all you do to keep things going, on top of moving your city to new resources. Some things could def do with more control.

Overall, a pretty casual city builder, but fun nonetheless and original in execution. Get on sale ;)

So that game wore off for me in three days... now I'm onto this and I think I'll stay awhile and listen: Mordheim. This definitely scratches the tactical turn based itch, its grim as f*ck, its Warhammer in all of its glory and basically the Mordheim tabletop game digitalized near perfectly. Darkest Dungeon also comes to mind, except now in full 3D in a city full of gloom and doom.
Last two battles I lost my leader, 2x permadeath while the first one was 'already' level 2 and I just started liking him :(

Airborne Kingdom was a nearly non existant learning curve compared to this, holy crap. I'm still not making actual money, the best I can do is gather enough during missions to keep my warband paid and healthy :eek: And yes, one of those rats on the right is lacking an arm. Shit happened, I also have a one-eyed rat walking around somewhere.
