Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

It’s Still about video games, particularly getting CP2077 to run correctly.
Also I sware from the amount of bugs, that the PS4 and Xbox one has no business running this game.
Not to take anything away from Console gamers. Looking at consoles that were release 7 years ago, the PS4 and Xbone hardware were already was obsolete when it hit the market. And a PC that was top end at the same time can barely play it. So ether the code on the consoles are poorly optimized, or they were not developed with those consoles in mind originally the coding shows.

Other thing we can’t factor is I am assuming your running a Laptop? Yes or No?
Could be a conflict with your MB Chipset? The major downside to PC side of things is there a thousand and one configurations. You can have the same CPU and GPU, but if your board different, it’s still a different beast. Like example @CDB2 got the same CPU and Motherboard as I do, no idea about his ram. But if he had an issue I can better tried to replicate the same issues do to similar hardware.

I would not just check Video drivers, I would check chipset drivers and even a bios update if you need to. I do know if you are running a laptop (reason I asked) is that some laptops like to turn the dedicated Graphics OFF while the lower end Intel Graphics takes over to reduce power consumption. I have a similar issue with my Laptop, where it wants to keep the Nvidia GPU off till there something to run it.
It’s a pain in the ass too, because the game kicks in with the lower end graphics, and not detect/ recognize the better graphics module. Otherwise you gotta wait for game updates.

I hope Virtua Fighter x E Sports is a new game, or one of the existing games, with rollback netcode.

Saw the Cyberpunk thread at Megashock. Last page was about hard crashes and reconfiguring PC…lol.

Skyrim 2.0 lol. Seeing random shit about game crashes is hilarious. Saw this but didn’t notice it but it makes sense, even if it came from a furry avatar.

I’ve played Cyberpunk for almost 15hrs without a single crash or bug.

Wonder if issues are widespread or shit rigs.

Ive had no crashes sorta. If I alt+tab out of the game while I’m streaming the game crashes (or maybe its just when I have obs open but I can alt+tab out if im not streaming/dont have obs running). Its been running fine otherwise. I think a lot of it is rigs that just cant handle it and ps4/xb4 users with the most issues. And of course, its just got issues but those will be fixed with patches. Im broke right now but I’m gonna pay for this game after christmas. Its a good one and worth the money…imo

So it looks like the recommended specs were for 1080p 30fps at high settings, no wonder I can only play at medium settings with my 2 year old laptop. Here are some benchmarks :

New specs…

Next year, once I rejoin the workforce… (COVID-19 running wild or not)
I will be retiring that RX 480!!

That’s a nice surface level analsys. Xenophobia deffinitly plays a part but its not as big a part of that as that post makes it sound. The main focus is on the power of corporations, American and European corporations are cast in just as tyrannical a light more often then not. Japan sits high becsuse they rose rapidly as a technological powerhouse. It’s a fear but also respect for what they can do. The Japanese culture itself in Cyberpunk at large is not generally treated with disrespect, as are most other cultures and mostly revolves around the masses fighting the powers that control their lives. Generally, not always but usually. You should be in support Cyberpunk tends to advocate for aggressive measures and anyone can join the cause. Smash the State. Hack the Planet.

Heard peeps are paying $4,000 to $5,000 just to get a PS5. Insanity.

Well you’re being lied to then.

I know this is not a new game, but damn Gears 5 is fucking awesome. I hadn’t played Gears since part 3 on Xbox 360 so it feels a bit fresh to me which may be part of it, but I am on like 2-4 right now and the game is just awesome. I don’t know how it looks on X1 but on XSX it looks incredible and I’m not even in 4k or using HDR.

Highest I recall someone paying is $1200 but I definitely believe you. I could easily see it being sold for those prices once the final PS5 drops are made before Christmas when ppl start gettin truly desperate.

I sold 3 PS5’s launch week and have been following the prices since and I can guarantee you people aren’t paying $4k+ for them.
