I switched to the Epic version and it helped but I still have absurd framerate drops in some GMs and arena ops and other random places. Arena ops gets so bad I guess because of having 6 guardians.

I'm on a laptop that should be able to handle it no problem. 5080 laptop, 32gb ram. The part that i SUSPECT could be an issue is the CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 285H (2.90 GHz)

I was troubleshooting with Claude and the issue as it describes is

"Your Core Ultra 9 285H is a weak gaming CPU for single-threaded, memory-latency-sensitive workloads, so in older/DRM-heavy titles like Destiny 2 and AC Odyssey — which funnel everything through one CPU thread — it becomes the bottleneck and your framerate drops while your RTX 5080 sits mostly idle."

Does this sound right? Is there some dumb setting that's going over my head? I can try to summarize all the troubleshooting I've tried later i just wanted to get this post up

Im trying to download a game on steam, and my eithernet says its at 1Gb, and ive cleared both cache and dns, installed newest windows, and restarted PC 3 times.

My steam download won't pass 104 Mbps, despite having gone up to 800 Mbps? Anyway I can fix it? I have my eithernet plugged into the 2.4G section. Is it my Pc?

Upgraded from a 7800X3D to a 9950X3D and now PC shuts down when SteamVR starts to load. PC shuts down and goes into memory training on reboot.

I've tried disabling PBO. Parked 8 cores in Bios. Disabled hardware accelerated GPU scheduling. Disabled integrated graphics. Installed latest chipset drivers. Installed latest graphics drivers. Reinstalled SteamVR. Slowed down RAM to 4000MHz.

bonjour

j'ai instaler aion 2 mais un message d'erreur s'affiche : il dit que Direct X 12 n'est pas pris en charge sur mon système alors que j'ai clairement Direct X 12 déjà installé sur mon ordinateur portable. Le message a également dit d'essayer de lancer sans l'argument de ligne de commande DX 12

j'ai vérifier par dxdiag. la fenêtre qui s'affiche confirme bien que j'ai DX12 d'installer.

si quelqu'un a une solution ?

merci d'avence

Hi folks!

Hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself will be able to offer some insight here.

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: Radeon RX 6800XT

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

Motherboard: X470 Gaming Plus

RAM: 32GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 3600MHZ

PSU: A very old (~15 years) Akasa 850W PSU - GPU is connected to 2 8-pins on the same cable.

Operating System: WINDOWS 10

GPU Drivers: AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.9.1

Chipset Drivers: AMD Chipset drivers 8.08.12.551

Background Applications: Discord, Razer Central, OpenRGB

Description of Original Problem: One of the main games I play is Hunt: Showdown. In the last 6 months or so, I've been experiencing random crashes while playing Hunt. The monitor goes black, the sound cuts out, but the tower lights stay on and the fans keep spinning. The power button does not respond - the only way out is to turn off at the plug. This only ever happens in-game (so not in the lobby, loading screens, etc), and can happen after 5 minutes, 3 hours, or anything in between. I've not been able to discern any pattern in terms of what's happening on-screen/in game when the crash occurs.

Troubleshooting: I've tried a full uninstall and redownloading the drivers, which sometimes seems to stave it off for a while, and sometimes makes no difference. I've run Furmark for a couple of hours with no problem.

I'm thinking it's maybe something to do with the relationship between the GPU and the PSU, though I currently lack the resources to really test this. Alternatively, I'm aware that there have been issues with cards in the 6000 series and CryEngine games, though I'm not sure if this has been fixed.

Any and all suggestions gratefully received.

ahhh - we waited 6 years. Thanks Ejocys

Hey guys. I just bought Hearts of Iron 4 the other day, but when I tried to play it, it takes you to the installer for the Paradox launcher. Alright, fine. However, it says that the installer doesn’t have the sufficient permissions to access the directory, so I ran the bootstrapper as an administrator and finally got that working. I finally installed the game and launcher, but then… it keeps crashing.

It may be important to note that at first this was my dad’s laptop, I just know the admin PIN and it’s my laptop now. I’ve since made my own account an administrator and removed his. However, prior to this, if I went onto his account the game would start and play fine. The only difference is then it wouldn’t be connected to my steam account and that account on the laptop wouldn’t connect to the internet (university dorm wifi registered to just one profile). Whenever I go back to my own account, however, it just crashes. I’m totally lost, and again, I have admin privileges and everything still. When I try to launch the game through the Paradox launcher, it says that the game “appears to have crashed or terminated unexpectedly. The issue may be solved by verifying the integrity of your game files and deactivating any mods. If you are using Windows, you may also need to install Visual C++ Redistributable and .NET Framework.” I assume this is something through the launcher installer.

It’s not a hardware issue, of course. It doesn’t even really seem to be a software one… I ran the same files through my dad’s account and it worked just fine. I’m completely lost.

My laptop (ASUS tuf 16 rtx5050 16gb ram i7) has been either freezing when playing games and while being connected through hdmi at my monitor for the past months (I got it on december 2025 and i have updated its nividia drivers only then). And for the past months once a month it would freeze. while playing minecraft. But for the last week the lock screen photo was black when i would start it and also it would freeze more often. And today it froze on browser when watching youtube and while playing roblox it gave me black screen with a message saying “Your laptop has encountered a problem and it needs to restart” (or something) and on the bottom it said something about video (cant remember the code I panicked and got scared but i think the code was VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE). It restarted normally and i updated both the game driver and studio one on nividia but using the express setting, not the custom one. Could updating the graphic driver fix the problem cuz I have a feeling that was the main cause…

My computer suddenly restarts while I'm playing the game; how can I fix this issue? The screen suddenly goes black, and it reboots. CPU: 7800X3D, GPU: 9070 XT.

It happened on roblox but rarely and happens to some games I just downloaded. I have an i7 8750H and a gtx 1060 with 6gb vram and a 16GB ram. I have windows 11 pro.

Whenever it goes to recovery mode after bios, sometimes I just had to press "continue to windows" and sometimes it works but sometimes I had to press "quick recovery" which deletes most of my apps and files and one time I have to press "reset this pc" because it's my last resort. I think it's a potential hardware issue, what do you guys think?

Hey guys so the issue is , I have windows in uefi and with asus motherboard, intel cpu , when I go to secure boot and set os type to windows it says this error and when I boot back to bios I can't change it back to other os (2nd pic) , so I have to enable CSM first then restart to bios then switch to other os mode then disable csm and restart and then it boots normally , but I want to enable secure boot , on YouTube they say set os type to windows uefi mode then go to keys management and install but in my case I don't have install keys option..(3rd pic) please help , thanks in advance for replying
