What are you playing?

FFXV ~20hours in, mostly side-stuff. it's not very good but I'm gonna try to make a beeline for the story quests from now on.

Weirdest part, the game stuttered like hell and crashed a lot. Ended up downclocking my 2070s from ~1990mhz where it's running stock down to 1950 and it doesn't crash and hardly ever stutters.

Had the same issues with my old 970 where the driver would crash in certain engines @ factory OC clocks. But here it was just game+stutters (stuttering is a first). Not sure how these companies test their factory OC's but whatever they do, it sure isn't good enough when I have to figure out my self as to why things fail to work proper.

It's not the card or the drivers. It's the game engine. The game doesn't know how to handle the clocks it's seeing versus what it's expecting. It's actually far more complicated than that, but sums it up. IIRC there's a driver fix for that. Have you updated them recently?

 

[Calmmo]

It's not a driver version specific issue, i've done version tests plenty of times over the years (and tested the last 5 versions on this current game), it's always specific games, tho stuttering and game crashing instead of driver is a first. I guess that's just how it manifests in Turing vs Pascal where it was always a driver crash. From a quick look the game is apparently notorious for being like this with unstable oc's (be it factory or manual) so I have to assume this is more game specific than general card behavior with a bad OC.

So what is the mod, cup size?

Smother me size...i can't think of a better way to go.

Realistic combat mechanic --- Check!
Realistic human relations --- Check!
Realistic economy --- Check!
Realistic character development --- Check!
Saving game --- Null! Uhm... Wait! What's that?

I'm playing Kingdom Come Deliverance nowadays, but game save option is really annoying me! Still, I'm playing. Weird. KCD has a lot of things in a realistic way, but saving the game is just really annoying! You need to sleep, or drink schnapps. If you missed to sleep for a while and forgot to drink before entering a quest with a long way ahead of you, you are simply... well you know that what comes after this. I'm saying that, take good care of your character, sleep, drink, eat, and do not stand up and fight against 3 or more enemies around you. Sometimes, getting away from combat is a good tactic to improve your skills. Maybe you can improve your Agility or Vitality. Who knows... Because anything you can do in this game can improve one of your skills.

Nah man saving is easy to solve. You exit and save the game. It creates an exit Save for you at the cost of... nothing.

Or you just install a mod for it. Its painless. See Nexusmods.

 

[lexluthermiester]

See Nexusmods.

That is a pay-to-access site. No thank you. ModDB or Megagames are much better sites for game mods.

When I see the following...

... naturally I conclude that the site puts severe restrictions on public use and is effectively a pay-to-use site. No thank you.

 

[Calmmo]

No it's not, just need to register to get downloads.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Yes, but once you register, you are still limited to one download at time and very limited bandwidth, unless you pay for the "premium" account. Many of those mods are huge and literally take days to download at that speed. I have an account there and know what it's like. ModDB is an entirely better site with better features and generally more and better mods. NexusMods sucks by comparison.

 

[Vayra86]

bloody hell ... in prevision of installing TW 3 TWH i installed GoG Galaxy ... turn out now it's Galaxy 2.0 and ... you can add all platform account in it ...

sooo i linked my STEAM, Origin, XboX LIVE, Uplay and Epic (yeah .... EGS THANK YOU free Transistor and AC:Syndicate ... i am such a turncoat ... )
now i have all my games one one big launcher ... best day (night) ever!

turns out it even did find all previous installation of my GoG games ... don't need to reinstall TW 3 ahah

still need the affiliated platform to be launched to start a game but well, now i just need to launch Galaxy select the game i want no matter the platform and no need to deal with the rest (aka trying to find if i had FC:Blood Dragon on STEAM or Uplay answer: turns out i have it on both ... )

Playnite does it too and is open source. Have a look

Whatever floats your boat. I just download the manager they offer and queue whatever I need and done. Lots of free tools in there too. If you think Moddb is better I wont stop you, but nexus is just fine tbh.

But why not both...not all is on offer at either one. I visited Moddb for Stalkers Misery Mod for example.

Dont spread BS though. Nexus isnt paid.

Oh, right. Yet another third party client that can easily spy on you and does nothing a web browser could not easily do.

Don't be ignorant.

It is if you want downloads at more than a snails-pace.

But let's get back on topic...

Eh what? Dude. You oughta get your head examined some time. Spy on you? Lmao. We get it, you don't like Nexusmods, and you prefer moddb. Stop spreading FUD because of your personal idea.

Also your first post on the subject didn't quite say what the later ones said, so I'm going to take a little guess here, you never used Nexusmods proper and you're just spouting nonsense without experience of the services. That also reflects in your argument about the manager somehow being spyware. Enjoy your tin foil hat reality, it is not mine. Its just very clear your full of BS on this subject.

and yet one post later...

I have an account there and know what it's like.

If you want to do this you have to fabricate your lie a little bit better mate. Thanks for once more confirming what has happened a number of times before when discussing stuff with you. Its sad though, really really sad.

 

[rtwjunkie]

more and better mods. NexusMods sucks by comparison.

Errr....what? The sheer number of mods on Nexus mods eclipses everything else, including ModDB. I’ve used both for a number of games and found the mod numbers are lacking in numbers and variety on ModDB versus NexusMods. It’s why I choose Nexus every time as my first go to, finding ModDB to be less and less relevant.

 

[Space Lynx]

I just beat Raji An Ancient Epic demo on Steam, fantastic. I had my eye on this game for awhile and the demo just came out for it last week or two I believe. Not sure.

Must buy for me when it launches. I would say you need to like "unique atmospheres" to enjoy this game. @R-T-B you might enjoy it.

well yeah, i heard of that one before i took GoG Galaxy 2.0 ... but well, one unified opensource hub .... or my favorite DRM free platform launcher doing the same ... i pick the later

oohhh, okay... now i get what they meant by "New Game +"

no hard cap on level and dedication is what make you 70 ... softcap is 60... tho (dang i really need the 2 DLC ... but i am broke ) lvl 100 is achievable via NG+ it seems ... oh well 30 more to go


also i too vote for Nexus for best ModDB around ... been using it for years ... my only actual grief is the switch for the mod manager .... i prefer NMM over Vortex ..
nonetheless not even a 1mb cap (well... i have 2mb cap ... don't care my connection is not much faster than that) on free registration is hindering ... even for 100'ish mb mods

aka slow is not slow ...

Just curious, but what is the benefit of going above level 70 in NG+ for Witcher 3? Are there hidden enemies in NG+ you can't fight in the main game or??? I still have yet to beat the DLC's too, but I just have not been in the mood to play it yet.

nah .... i am just re playing it whole after forgetting i did finish it ... with the benefit of having all my fav gears and stuffs (lvl 100 i reachable because of the leveled npc/monster/encounter mechanic but that's the same game from start to end )

TW3 TWH by itself even without new things, is worthy to be replayed, well i did like Adventure Mode in TW1 and i do like custom adventures in it or also new community mades quest and stories in Skyrim, although sometime a game alone can be good to replay specially when you noticed your finished game save dated from 2015 26 July 8h46pm (thanks GoG having cloud save ... i didn't even notice i had savegames, i thought i did delete them )

ah! some lvl 71 gear appearing already

not that they are way above the gears i have at the moment ... but later will be good

Ah, I see you are on Quen abuse as well. I guess there is no way around it in NG+... I never got that far.

I feel like I'm being provoked to a dick-measuring contest. So here's my end-game build:

 

[Space Lynx]

I feel like I was the only one in Witcher 3 who got bored of the combat and gathering of herbs to make vials... I literally just did Quen strong attack roll away, rinse and repeat, normal mode. I guess I should have done Hard mode, but eh on same hand I don't want to spend hours gathering herbs to make the best potions etc I did that in 2004 and 2005 in WoW and regretted spending so many hours of my life on it, never again

 

[Sybaris_Caesar]

Personally I like armors that DONT make geralt look fat. So here's my favourite:

I would've crafted the mastercrafted feline armor but for the life of me I couldn't find the superior armor maps anywhere.

could you have used cheat mod to spawn the locations? or does that stuff not exist?
