Q: Dying in Nexus/pet yard?

I'm on Skype with my friend and he's dying sometimes when he enters pet yard or walks in Nexus. Our only theory is this that he nexused and then server later was like: "Oh you died, but your are live so...Let's kill you!". Why is this happening?

I recently completed the progression challenge to learn 60 recipes. I was under the impression that I had found every recipe (no more brewing Mousetrap Maibock!), until I found another recipe scrap... How many recipes are there in total?

@PrivatePansy spain are in the middle of an economic crisis, they can't afford an army

dear Steam, I know I have a dutch IP address but please stop giving me Steam in euros.

3ventic

11:03 AM

Why do you have a dutch IP address?

kalina

because the machine I have under my desk that runs linux is responsible for an entire household of torrenting

so it is permanently connected to a VPN

so we can bypass the filters on torrent sites in the UK

it also happens to be the PC I idle in the DMZ on

and run my main steam account on

I could give it an IP in singapore, canada, or the netherlands

so I chose the latter

Private Pansy

Singapore uses USD, Canada CAD (though not sure how Steam prices it)

3ventic

I think Steam uses USD for Canada

I have a 3D model of my house made in autocad (.DWG). Is there a free opensource game engine that can open .DWG files as a map? Or at least something easy as that? While I'm pretty confident with coding, I know nothing about autocad and such (my brother made that). Any ideas?

3ventic

It's generally a good idea to stay on the safe side

But as long as you don't provide links/screenshots/video/accurate descriptions from such games, you should be fine asking about gameplay mechanics/technical issues in such games

But I'm still not saying it's a good idea.

k then i can savely block you again too

3ventic

Counter-blocking best blocking

(not really)

Wandang

what can i do instead of that if some people do not want to interact with me so be it

there are 2 ppl refusing to lift the block from me so thats an insignificant number

Meraj99

Um, Radeon HD xxxx, the higher the number the better, right?

Wandang

1:36 PM

@Meraj99 y i would say so

it goes from 2xxx to 7xxxx and 7 beeing the best

after that the r7 series starts

Mad Scientist

@Meraj99 The first number is typically the generation, the second number is the class. Generally cards of the same class are faster in newer generations, and cards with a higher class are often much faster than cards of a lower class.

Wandang

if i read this correctly: support.amd.com/en-us/download

Meraj99

@MadScientist Basically, the higher the number, the better?

Mad Scientist

@Meraj99 no

A 4870 would be much faster than something like a 5350

Wandang

2500 is faster then 3400?

because 5>4 class?

Mad Scientist

1:38 PM

Just get some benchmarks, guessing based on names is really hard with GPUs

Wandang

i thought an upper card of a current generation will be as good as a lower of the next

3ventic

Especially when they start doing things like changing naming scheme completely when changing generation

Wandang

i switched from nvidia to ati to nvidia to ati and back to nvidia

numbers dont tell me anything anymore

i look at toms hardware benchmark and take a midtier+ card

thats all :D

3ventic

1:45 PM

In benchmarks, yes

in practice, about equal

nowadays most games tend to be AMD optimized for some reason

Wandang

@3ventic too much money and a bad costs/ efficiency

ratio

3ventic

@Wandang 800€ originally 2010, video card updated 2 days ago for 390€

Wandang

@3ventic still i dont get ppl who buy high high end stuff

3ventic

FEichinger

@3ventic AMD realized they're not going to keep up with Nvidia's progress because of their internal troubles, so getting cozy with big shot devs allowed them to stay afloat.

Wandang

1:47 PM

if they at least would use that machine for like 5-7 years

but nooo...

3ventic

@FEichinger which is good

Wandang

i can play high end with 560 ti

kalina

@3ventic even more so with this current console generation

3ventic

Yup

kalina

everything will be optimised for AMD cards from the go

FEichinger

1:48 PM

@kalina I'm so damn glad AMD got those deals. Might bring them back on their feet.

3ventic

560 Ti is still good enough

Wandang

@3ventic i did not encounter many amd optimized games. nvidia thou alot

3ventic

my old card was a bit too low performance for games like BF4

Meraj99

Any PC with Battlefield 6 on 60FPS is enough for me...

Wandang

but amd is more open to linux so that may be the cause

maybe optimized for opengl?

@kalina well i am quite an open source fan. i would like to work only in open source

what will be the point?

Wandang

@kalina what?

3ventic

Most people don't own two PCs that have the capability to run high end games?

FEichinger

@kalina There are a couple advantages to having it run natively, and there's the cheaper hardware part. (In that you don't need two devices.)

Wandang

why windows

kalina

@Wandang Steam OS includes (will include) the nvidia technology that allows a game to be "played" on the PC running Steam OS by streaming the content from a Windows PC

Wandang

1:54 PM

wtf

source pls

because i will have debian and can play those too

kalina

the Windows PC will be playing the game, Steam OS will be acting as an input device

Wandang

that was nvidia shield

3ventic

@Wandang store.steampowered.com/livingroom/steamos

kalina

@Wandang and Steam OS

tomshardware.com/news/…

the inclusion of said tech in Steam OS actually makes it better, because before you had to have a specific model of nvidia card for it to work (like on the shield) but Valve have told them it has to support AMD cards too

Wandang

u cannot claim a pc to be windows only because it is a pc

or rather a von neumann computer
