The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

I think I fixed what was resetting my PC so much. I had to take the RAM out to see what brand it was to order more and I didn’t put one of the sticks in all the way. Now it runs pretty stable.

Oh man, 4 years ago I was plagued by that problem and it took me forever before realizing one of the ram slots was fucked up.

It’s just the worst, isn’t it?

It’s so difficult to troubleshoot. I ended up replacing several parts before I realized “my computer randomly rebooting” was due to ram. it could be a million things.

figured out the sound problem…apparently I need a baller-ass sound card…one of these will do

I had the same ram problem after a move jiggled it loose. I didn’t have any money at the time, so luckily I figured it out without having to buy parts!

Now I’m trying to fix my insomniac computer.

Why install a sound card when you can buy “gaming” headphones that have “virtual” 7.1 surround sound?

why the FUCK would I ever wear headphones for gaming? nigga I have a baller-ass home theater system. I don’t need some shitty uncomfortable headphones.

You’re clearly not an audio person, both home theaters and headphones have their place for gaming, one is not strictly better than the other, also you only call headphones shitty and uncomfortable because you’re still using the headphones that came with your sony walkman.

Also 7.1 headphones is more or less a myth, you have 2 ears, not 7, having 2 big aural outputs creates a more natural sound stage than 7 tiny ones.

Anyone else have Lethal League? this game is fucking hard to master, but soon enough I’ll wreck all of you. Dem fundamentals.

I don’t wanna wear…ANY HEADPHONES AT ALL :rage:

why would I downgrade proper(NATIVE) in game surround sound to shitty-ass 2 channel stereo and use headphones? fuck off and never quote me unless you have anything useful to say. useful information would have been telling me about the proper sound card I need to buy. of course dumb scrubs like you wouldn’t know.

Was thinking about it, but I just picked up Nidhogg for cheaper instead. Now nobody is online.

As someone that’s still studying towards audio engineering, there’s no comparison to listening to a set of borderline audiophile headphones. It’s like losing your virginity… for your ears.

Can fucking hear things you’re not supposed to hear normally as well for better or worse.

…but yeah ever since i’ve had to use a pair of Sennheisers for the console at the studio some years ago, listening to someone’s shitty beats by dre or good god skull candies, feels like im listening to a set that’s playing under shrek’s dank ass swamp. Mud bubbles and shit popping out.

YOU AINT ABOUT THAT LIFE UNTIL YOU HAVE A PAIR. Ain’t complete. Real talk though, those dudes that play CS and shit don’t go to surround sound systems when they want an advantage, they’re on headphones. Though all this talk reminds me; I should probably get a new surround sound system. This living room has pretty great acoustics and i’ve been getting with your generic 5.1 panasonic set.

I like hearing headphones for survival horror games. I like getting the most out of the sound design.

When I get my new place, I am going to have to look into surround sound for my gaming, gonna have to hit this place up then, to ask you guys some questions.

Lethal League is pretty sick. Netcode is solid too.

You saying you don’t like to leave the world behind? Only with a nice set of headphones can you achieve such greatness. I cannot tell how it feels, you have to experience this feeling yourself to understand what I’m talking about.

Hmm… what’s your specs? It runs fine on my older laptop, during Blade Mode it does drop to about 40fps if I Cut the World, but besides that I’m always at 60fps.

I like playing on my Playstation controller, but I do use a Rock Candy for those anti Playstation games on Steam.

I would suggest you buy yourself a RockCandy Wired Xbox360 Controller, then every game on stream will detect your controller without any issues(I promise). If you really want to play on a specific controller, get Xpadder. When using Xpadder, don’t plug the controller in until after the game is running, because having a non supported controller plugged in beforehand can cause issues (like the ones you’re getting right now). That way the game chooses KB & Mouse and you can just map the buttons onto your controller using the Xpadder software.

Here, I linked the pink one because you’re a faggot (JKing).

Why so legendary?

Add me so I can destroy you lets play

Haha it’s quite simple really. The controls are suitable for M&K.

Left-click = light attack
Right-click = heavy attack

Shift = Blade mode
CTRL = Sprint/ninja run

All there is to it…everything else is intuitive.

Plus there’s no way I would’ve beaten MGR:R without using nanopaste. :stuck_out_tongue:
