The Bridge

Chippies

they have improved a lot

Ronan Forman

@Unionhawk At least someone from the Bridge will do some good then.

Chippies

I have used both nvidia and amd/ati cards for 10+ years

I have had a geforce fx5200 and ati radeon 9200LE

both were shit, but drivers on the radeon were horrible

Nate Kerkhofs

I'm not going to really do any major computer upgrades this year

Chippies

the next ATi card I had was an HD3850 and it was awesome, but the drivers were a bit crappy

Nate Kerkhofs

Then, next year, I'm going to splurge

ardaozkal

17:01

Chippies

I have a laptop with GTX770M and the drivers are pretty decent

Dragonrage

ardaozkal

Nvidia usually beats AMD.

Chippies

and my PC has R9 390 and drivers are great, better than nvidia

MadMAxJr

I'm still running a EVGA 770 Classified. Thing is a beast. Just runs slightly hot.

Chippies

17:02

@ardaozkal in tesselation - an nvidia tech

@ardaozkal try actual games

fredley

@Dragonrage neat

Sterno

I wonder if I should celebrate by purchasing The Witness

Dragonrage

@fredley i have joined the anti-lifehack party :)

fredley

@Dragonrage Your service to the party is noted

Nate Kerkhofs

Assuming Nvidia stays on the current release schedule, when in 2017 should i expect the 2017 Nvidia GPUs?

ardaozkal

17:04

cc @Chippies

R9 290 vs GTX 980, on GTA V

Chippies

@ardaozkal you're comparing different generations and different price ranges there, lol

Powerlord

@Chippies That's... unusual for AMD. Usually AMD's drivers are terrible.

Nate Kerkhofs

Hey, could some of you VtC gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/251121/… since they got a No-cheat policy? I'd submit one myself, but I can't find my way in the maze of reasons

Chippies

@Powerlord that's something people that haven't used AMD for years keep saying

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs post the reply from Ubi as answer

Chippies

17:06

in reality, AMD has focused on improving their drivers in the last couple years

and they have done a great job

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal The reply is in Dutch

Sterno

Calling it now. Best RPG of 2016

Powerlord

@Sterno What game is this?

Chippies

@NateKerkhofs it's your own question, can't you delete it?

Sterno

Tides of Numenera

Nate Kerkhofs

17:07

@Chippies right. Forgot that was possible

Done

fredley

@Sterno Looks neat! I'll buy it in a year or two when it's $5

ardaozkal

@Chippies do you mean "locking fans at %25 and killing cards' of people" by "good"? I don't hate AMD, but they just aren't good enough imho. AMD might be bad on Nvidia technologies, but as long as games use Nvidia technologies, it'll continue being bad, and I'll keep using Nvidia.

Chippies

@ardaozkal are you forgetting that nvidia had drivers that killed their gpus a while ago as well? or are we just gonna ignore that?

ardaozkal

Yep, forgot that.

Powerlord

@Chippies ...I was just going to point this out.

Actually, wasn't it the same type issue? Fans running at the wrong speeds?

Chippies

17:10

and if I recall correctly, nvidia had that issue more than once

@Powerlord I think nvidia had an issue with gpu usage going to 100% and staying there and fans not keeping up

but I could be wrong on the details

MadMAxJr

@Sterno I've been told it's loaded with bugs in the release so far. Hoping it improves.

NBN-Alex

@NateKerkhofs I miss the days when "cheats" used to be In-Game cheat codes.

Sterno

@MadMAxJr Well, it's in beta, so that's not surprising.

I still need to go back and play Pillars of Eternity

@Sterno You do

Nate Kerkhofs

@NBN-Alex The weird thing is: their policy is inconsistent. Some Ubi games do have a god mode cheat in there, like Far Cry.

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs Post the dutch one, say that it roughly translates to the one you posted earlier.

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal I already deleted the question

Chippies

@ardaozkal unfortunately tom's hardware won't let me link to images of benchmarks

NBN-Alex

@ardaozkal Down-Y-Down-Down-Y

Sterno

17:13

@fredley I got to chapter 2, or maybe 3. A bit after where you have a big fight with the king, or duke, or lord, or whoever the hell. Then got busy. Then half the expansion came out and I figured it made more sense to just wait for that to all be out and restart

Nate Kerkhofs

@Sterno I believe that's about 2/3 of the way through if you rush through the story with no sidequests

At least, on my playthrough it was

NBN-Alex

@NateKerkhofs I agree, but concidering how many things where off-limits in Watch_dogs (like the E3 options to make the game look and run better) I'm kinda not surpised anymore

Dragonrage

Hatred (video game)

Hatred is an isometric shooter video game developed and published by Destructive Creations and was released on June 1, 2015 on Microsoft Windows. The player-character is a misanthropic mass-killing sociopath who begins a "genocide crusade" to kill as many human beings as possible. The developer described Hatred as a reaction to video game aesthetic trends such as political correctness, politeness, vivid color, and games as art. Its October 2014 announcement trailer was characterized as "controversial" by multiple video game journalists. The game was shortly removed by Valve Corporation from their...

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs can't you undelete it?

Sterno

@NateKerkhofs I felt like it was not that far. But I guess if skipping sidequests, maybe

Dragonrage

17:15

@fredley can you undelete this? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/251121/…

MadMAxJr

Ah Hatred. People getting bent out of shape over what we already got into back when Postal 1 released.

Chippies

@Dragonrage can you not undelete it yourself?

@MadMAxJr at least postal 1 was fun

Dragonrage

@Chippies its not my question

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal I can. I've undeleted it and will post the answer right now.

Dragonrage

also i didnt know that you can undelete your own question

Chippies

17:16

@Dragonrage didn't notice who was asking, lol

Dragonrage

never tried

Chippies

@Dragonrage yep, you can

same with answers

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Only if you deleted it yourself, I think.

Chippies

MBraedley

@Wipqozn That is... unexpected

Nate Kerkhofs

Okay, I posted the official answer

fredley

@Wipqozn That looks like fun

10/10 would axe things

Nate Kerkhofs

Am I allowed to change the scope of the question from "how do I godmode" to "how can I make the combat easier"?

or should I ask a new question on that?

MadMAxJr

17:23

Axe throwers lounge? What is this, a lounge for D2 Barbarians?

Yuuki

@NateKerkhofs Probably another question. Godmode is usually something specific, like a particular cheat code.

@Wipqozn I wonder if they penalize/reward you for avoiding axe puns?

MadMAxJr

@Wipqozn They have coloring books! LUMBERJACK coloringbooks!

MadMAxJr

A C++ build? I am intrigued.

Yuuki

17:28

@fredley That does bring up the question about how modding will continue.

ardaozkal

@Yuuki hard, but possible.

Community can always go the GTA way.

No official ways to mod, community made scripthooks.

After the scripthook is developed, it'll be rather easy for the community to mod.

Powerlord

Then there are games where the official modding way is too restrictive to be useful and you need to do binary scanning and virtual table lookups to do anything useful.

See also: Valve's Source games.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki simple: They'll go on with the regular edition

@ardaozkal that is only possible because GTA uses scripting

fredley

@Yuuki Yeah. I'm guessing Microsoft will throw modders under the bus sooner or later

But they could easily add a decent modding api to sweeten the deal

MadMAxJr

Microsoft? Modding? Do those words go together?

MBraedley

17:33

@ardaozkal Modding a C++ game that doesn't explicitly expose a modding API is difficult, especially for the types of Minecraft mods we currently see. Things like texture swaps are easy, but changing how the game actually works is nigh impossible.

Kevin van der Velden

@MadMAxJr they have several letters in common, maybe?

ardaozkal

@MadMAxJr I'll ask, if I see someone from the team / close to the team.

However, as per the NDA, I'm not sure if I can disclose it once I learn it.

MadMAxJr

I don't particularly care.
