Is there an Nvidia Reflex option? That will help with responsiveness

I’ll have a look on Friday when I start up my gaming OS again.

I finished The Quarry. Just love Supermassive Games games.
Next up is Uncharted 3.
@Viper , I had a similar thing with another game and it only happened when v-sync was on. Don’t know if that will maybe help here.

Thanks, I did turn it off. Eventually something worked because the game was playable over the weekend (eventually). I’ll play a bit more with settings to get the ideal quality / performance ratio.

Finally got Dying Light 2 to run properly. I did a bunch of things from turning on Hardware acceleration to playing with settings and nothing worked. After doing some investigation, I figured out that DLSS isn’t an available option under the graphics settings (only FSR and the others). So in an attempt to get DLSS to show, I did a clean install of the latest driver (even though I updated my GPU driver just last week) and after I did that… DLSS is still not showing as an option… but now the game runs fine on Ultra quality even without it.
So I guess the clean reinstall of the driver is what did it.

Jumped on the bandwagon, installed New Vegas with a couple performance mods and got right into it. Although I’ll probably not finish, just keeping busy until the 25th and I’ll start a new Fallout 4 run.

Still all in on Helldivers 2. Finally unlocked everything in the game. Still feel that relentless pull, to play. Still fantastic, after 280+ hours. Admirable Admiral reporting for duty

Stalled a bit on Planet Crafter, at some point when you have trees and insects the terraforming speed slows down to a crawl.
Playing SWTOR again, so many lovely Star Wars story to explore on that game still. It will keep me going until the 14th of May for Diablo 4 season 4.

Same, I tried playing Fallout 76, but I struggle to get into it, the lag just ruins it and it just doesn’t feel the same as the other Fallout games, no immersion. So I installed Fallout 3, and I am properly stuck in.
Also so funny to see how so many people on my youtube recommended has started playing fallout after they watched the amazon series.

Ya, they broke some sales records or something too. I actually got the GOTY version on sale on Steam, since it was cheaper than buying all the DLC on sale on PS4 (which I have the physical disc).

Which fallout is recommended, if you want to try one for the first time? Failing that, which is to be avoided at all cost?

I know that not everyone agrees but Fallout 4 is the best for me. Good graphics, great stories and combat physics. The homestead system is a great new addition but not fully realised but there are mods to fill that gap. Also the Brotherhood of Steel really plays a great lore part in it. Fallout 76 to be avoided at all costs.

I agree. Also a big fan of Fallout 4.
Be aware that Fallout 4 might require slight tweaking - the physics engine is tied to the fps, so on my desktop I had to limit the game FPS in my gfx software to get it to run properly.
Avoid FO76. Even FO4 looks dated without mods, so I’d say looks wise any one of FO3, FONV, and FO4 are fine to start with. I disliked the homestead system in FO4, so I’m replaying without it. I enjoyed FO3 for it’s storyline, even though it wouldn’t win any writing awards. FONV is a lot closer to the quintessential Fallout humour, but it also had by far the most bugs for me when I first played it. I might attempt a replay after FO4, though.

I spent like 3 hours installing New Vegas and following the Viva New Vegas guide to install all the bug fixes etc. only for it to run like absolute garbage on my PC. I tried every fix I could think of but nothing works. In the end I just deleted it. I also tried 3 on the Xbox and I was suprised how good it looks and runs on the Series S but I probably won’t stick with it. I’ll just wait for teh patch for F4 this week.
What I’m playing now:
PC
Kingdom Come Deliverance
Remnant 2 (new DLC drops tmw)
PS5
Dragon’s Dogma 2 NG+
Final Fantasy 16 NG+
The Crew Motorfest
Xbox
Fallout 3 (just messing around)

I’m hoping this will be fixed with the new patch dropping on the 25th. They say they are adding “Widescreen and Ultra-widescreen support”. Ok, ultra-widescreen I can get, but the game came out in 2015… Is 1080p not considered widescreen anymore?
I’d say start with Fallout 4. If you like it, you’ll enjoy Fallout: New Vegas, which is deemed the best one. You know you’ll have something to look forward to.
- The “next gen” patch does not introduce any graphical improvements.
- The new ultrawide support has a poorly stretched user interface that will require a user made patch—basically the same solution ultrawide gamers were using before the update.

Manor lords. Very enjoyable so far.

I finished Uncharted 3 and didn’t like it as much as the previous two. It would have been much better if I didn’t die more times than in all the soulslikes I’ve played over the years. I think easy mode was broken. Had no problems with the previous two games but in this one, enemies just looked at me and I’d die.
Next up is the Dead Space remake.

Still playing Tekken 8, Control and a few other things.
I also added Stellar Blade to the mix. I loved the demo and am having a great time with it. It’s a nice mix of action games like DMC, Bayo, Nier and Sekiro, but it also has its own identity.
It also has incredible enemy design, a great soundtrack, nice visuals and good level structure.
