      It appears that for the first time in 3-4 years, MWLL has not made it to the second phase of voting. This is a black day.... still, I voted for TDM again. Well done guys!

      It's a total conversion mod for Crysis Wars that changes the gameplay from men running around in nanosuits and real world style tanks, to combined arms mech combat. It won a moddb award a few years back (best upcoming, I think), and has placed as an honourable mention (due to not being able to win twice rules) until this year, where it seems to have not gotten enough votes to even make it to round 2. Not sure if that's because PGI's F2P game MechWarrior Online has taken too many o...

      I'll be the good one :) Here's hoping the tide has turned in the 2.03 beta. It feels like it has to me. On the plus side, it's going to be a feature-packed release. AI that look good close up, AI that cooperate during searches to give complacent players their comeuppance (I've finally had to learn how to use flashbombs to get out of scrapes during this beta), better particles and smoother animations... not to mention a pile of AAA quality models. It's definitely worth it!

      I was always under the understanding that they actually didn't have what we consider medieval inns back in real world history. Travelers between cities would usually stay with farmers who would host a room with food and things of that nature. I could be mistaken though but the conventional medieval inn that we picture today just simply didnt exist and is moreso just another hollywood "fact" thats leaked into history

      there's olde stagecoach inns in the uk but most have been converted into farms or flats, or knocked down, or pubs.

      So wait, AI vs AI? Or the player gets to challenge the NPC to an, "arms race"?

       

      The player option goes down really hilarious in my head. xD

      nbohr1more

      Oh, now I want both options! LOL! I was thinking of an AI vs AI arm wrestling contest with other AI gathered around watching them.

  7. AMD 6xxx users, there are some credible reports that the latest WHQL driver "Adrenalin 22.11.2" is allowing the GPU to damage itself due to either thermal or electrical variance. Revert your driver or enforce power \ thermal limits where possible.

      Sounds like you're safe to me.

      Everyone should probably be under-volting AMD anyway from what I've heard.
      The story goes that they push the voltage up to ensure that bad silicon has a better chance of testing at the rated clocks so they will have more chips to sell. I'm sure it's an industry wide practice but I imagine consumers would rather that bad silicon get sold at lower prices with lower clocks (etc) than pushing all chips to the brink just so they can squeeze out 10% more high-end sales.

      Do you remember the "AMD Killer" event? It's like Nvidia and AMD are trying to give the new Intel ARC very little competition to do that again, but...No, I really doubt it that this time one company or the other is doing an incredibly scummy (yet typical of every corporation) tactic to defile its competitors. This time, it's absurd incompetence from both Nvidia (4090 and 4070 Ti) and AMD (Not even the 7900's new thermals are good)

    4. lowenz

      lowenz

      There's no need to undervolt, just set a lower power limit. The current is the killer if the physical problem is the overheat and not some capacitor/dielectric explosion (that's how voltage damage works, errors apart due to how undervolting practices makes computation/processing unstable)

  8. Anyone have a copy of the old training_demo.pk4 "timedemo benchmark"? I cannot find it in my old files collection.

      If you know it was on a current site, you can try archive.org to see if they have it cached in a past snapshot.

      384 core. I see that it out-performs a Geforce 8800 in 3DMark which boggles my mind given that it's has a 64-bit memory interface. Must have a comparatively large cache unless they've really improved efficiency that much...

      Oh deep joy, lets hope AMD now that they have a better fab process get ahead of intel this time.

      @Epifire: Intel knew about Meltdown more than half a year before it went public. And they probably also knew that fixing it in current chips would cause a performance drop. So, the chip they sold you that runs at Y speed now runs at Y-X speed because of the Meltdown workaround.

      https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/11/16878670/meltdown-spectre-disclosure-embargo-google-microsoft-linux

      The disclosure was quite harsh, because the vulnerabilities were rediscovered by independent researcher (from rare some clues in the public).

      It will be really cool if a super talented editor like Gaetane will try TDM.
