Just came back from the usual capital region of NY fireworks in the South mall of Albany NY.

As usual, an awesome display, with a finale that you don't so much as hear as feel in your chest.

Youtube obvious doesn't have a vid of this years yet, but they do of last years.

Sorry for posting ...

I always thought that's how their "video" ads worked. Or is this something else?

I think the current system is like a java script that just overlays the ad, which is why ublock origin can remove them.

The server side injection they want to use, sticks the ad in at the server which makes it ...

Nosferatu

Anyone see the news that Youtube is testing server side ad injection?

I am not sure how I feel about this one. Yes it's more youtube attempting to push ads to people who are obviously not interested and even if they are forced to watch an ad, these people are much more likely to avoid the ad ...

I must have been using the correct version since it was happily reporting TseTseFly entries up until 3 days ago then just abruptly stopped without any changes what so ever.

EDIT: Hmmm wierd I got it working again. I just replaced the TseTseFly version again and it started working. This is weird ...

Nosferatu

Yesterday and today, vortex just up and stopped reporting any servers.

However, I can still see servers on the TseTseFly web page.

Not sure whats going on.

Nosferatu

Hey I want to apologize if anyone has noticed my servers disappearing. My service provide has been having extreme trouble in my area for 4 nights straight.

Nosferatu

FWIW, from what I have been told, XMP memory issues tend to be resolved from BIOS upgrades. I know its a PITA waiting on one.

I am pretty sure you already did this. I might have missed it in this thread. Your gigabyte mobo has a relatively recent BIOS "F11d" from their web page.

If you already ...

I really hate that MS is doing that with WIN11.

At least for now, the "oobe\bypassnro" trick still works.

Nosferatu

I had no idea of the existence of this.

Looks a little interesting.

I only see it mentioned once in DBB.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I noticed it might be a bit limited based on D3 version.

I have a standard box set. I would like to give it ...

Nosferatu

That looks like it will be a sweet system.

I don't think I personally would ever need something that new and powerful.

Nosferatu

Don't get one from a site like AliExpress. They ARE selling bogus volume license keys.

However there are sellers of legitimate keys out there...

A bit of a necro-post.

But last summer I did decide to live dangerously and use my PC Back UPS 1500
(The one in Mr. Carlsons lab)

Its been running fine for 7.5 months.
No magic smoke
No code F2

Knock on wood of course.

I found a solution to the no speaker fill problem.

Wow that peerless assassin is overkill for that i5-8400.

I ran cinebench for 30 minutes and the CPU never got above 45 C.

Nice. Lots of headroom if I want to experiment with a little OC.

However, Im more inclined to just leave it and have the processor last for years and years.

Nosferatu

I'm surprised someone put up the old level I created.

I deliberately made that level insanely huge.
(way too huge)

In my zeal to counter hall ratting try fusion spewing tanks I created a level that was just way too much in size. :roll:

EDIT: Oh don't get me wrong I am glad someone has put a ...

Nosferatu

So far its working pretty good.

No problem updating BIOS and turning on XMP.

Had a pretty good D3 battle last night on the BOZ server.
(sorry I forgot the other live person that was there. My bad short term memory :? )

Still some work to do to get data transferred from old POS computer. :P

The 1660 SUPER is another freeby from my uncle. (The 1080 was completely stone dead)

Someday I might get an RTX core, but for now the 1660 will do.

Ive seen quite a few videos on youtube of people running hogwarts legacy just fine on a card like that.
(of course with ray tracing turned off)

Nosferatu

This is what I have come up with so far.

Of course this doesn't even come close to Krom's new build, but it will serve me for what I want it to do...

Nature b14ch slapped me last night hard.

(Really strong winds)

My network was out for hours. My power blinked in and out sporadically.

My servers are now back up and listed.

Vortex now comes up immediately.

I NEVER thought I would see THAT again.

HFO.

Nosferatu

My uncle tends to get free parts that he gets from local stores that are closing, and sometimes I get some of them.

I have a gigabit Z390
a i5-8400
some Corsair memory DDR4 3000 2 16 gig sticks
a MSI GTX 1080
an ugly non rated 750 PSU. (I'll most likely ditch this for something rated)
and a 1TB SSD ...

Some servers have been running this mn3 lately.

However I can not seem to find it on any of the usual level repositories including Sector games.

I saw some pictures of it and it looks interesting.

Let me know if its available somewhere.

Nosferatu

Sorry for my servers being out. There was a power outage at my house that I didn't catch until just a little while ago.

Nosferatu

I think that was a bug that was addressed in the 1.5 patches, otherwise it would still do it even if you were running it on a native Windows XP system.

One thing you could test is trying a different renderer (Direct3D vs OpenGL) or a Glide wrapper (nGlide works well with D3) and see if it still ...

Nosferatu

I have been experimenting extensively.

And I can get a crash to happen consistently now.

It does not matter what I do, if I have the game is running on anything north of 60FPS it will crash under the following conditions.

Go to Ascent in a black pyro.

Pick up the microwave cannon in the back ...

I would consider it if I were not at work at that time.

Sorry but I hope you have fun and I hope it goes well.

Nosferatu

Just in case anyone does use my servers now and again, I just wanted to let everyone know I plan on doing some software updates over the next few days.

So if you see my servers off line, they will be back.

It might be a couple of outages over the next few days.

Nosferatu

Makes for more places for people to join and makes it more intense when there is only one real player in there.

I'ld leave it that way.

Nosferatu

I like Mr. Carlson's lab videos and I saw that one.

Unfortunately I have one of those models and I'm a little scared to use it now.

Nosferatu

One that jumps to my mind is an obscure Boston tune called "I had a good time".

All though, thats not exactly new

For something a little newer, I like Bishop Briggs Champion

Nosferatu

I wish it would be possible for someone to fix the fact that it checks for an update for 3 or so minutes and eventually gives up, since the original developers are no longer there.

Nosferatu

Got to remember that for vortex to work with TseTseFly, you need the patched version.

Nosferatu

Looks like TSETSEFLY is back as well now.

Nosferatu

Cool. Thanks for all you have done Do_Checkor.

Nosferatu

Same here on the Ascent server.

Nosferatu

Cant get to the web site and vortex is not showing any servers.

Nosferatu

Actually I forgot about the weapons effects thing as well. Thats a very good point. Im probably going to leave those turned off as well.

I was talking about D3 (1.4 from CDs) Machine is freakin old i5 with 16 gig ram and gtx 1660 super

And thanks for the reminder.

EDIT: Dam now I remember why I ...

Nosferatu

Ya I know. 22 YO game.

But there are still a couple players out there. Me and Grizz for instance.

Everyone who has played has noticed the crash when there is a large amount of weaponry going off on screen.
(BP quad speed microwave is notorious for this)
