This fucked me right off back in the day when it took ages to boot up and it was a resource drain, now I don’t see the problem.
Type msconfig in either run, or via your start menu search thingy (win 7), go to the startup tab, and untick steam if you don’t like it.
For anyone who manages to get a key, check here for details on beta forum access and also note there is a NDA in effect currently, so be careful with youtube videos and what you say on the forum.
Not sure exactly how it works on youtube, but I need a lot of views and ad clicks to make anything…it’ll only be pennies anyway, unless the number is in the thousands. Clicking ad’s is a good start at supporting a channel, but from an individual point of view, likes and subscriptions are even better as they bump users up search lists….maybe ad clicks do as well though.
Re amazon, it’ll never get off the ground until we have the ability to modify the site, which is currently out of reach.
Latest dev blog out.
hmm I really didn’t think DayZ was that cpu or gpu intensive, but shit that it happens to you. We did notice back in August that some people had their gfx settings defaulting to use conflicting resolutions in the options… There’s your normal resolution and then a 3d resolution, which seems to cause gfx problems for people if it’s not set to the same value as your normal resolution. It just comes to mind everytime I hear of people having gfx issues. I’ve not heard your specific complaint before, which is odd….and you surely must have a decent machine if you play BF3.
Oh and forgot to say, I took your driver cleaner pro tip, and it’s worked a treat. GTX 670 installed and working first time 🙂
I’ll probably have to check that tonight when installing the 670, or I could end up having to reinstall windows. I put an old gtx 460 in so I didn’t have to break the gaming addiction for a day or two but it barely fits in the second pci-e slot because of some inconveniently placed sata connectors. I suspect the 670 will have to be put into the slot I was previously using for the 6870 so I may run into the black screen problem again.
Oddly enough, speaking of frame rates, the quality of gfx hasn’t dropped in the slightest using the gtx460 and there’s no noticeable decrease in frame rate (within arma2/dayz). It is much higher than 20 though…is that what you get n dayz?
Oh ajd I’m only getting the 670 for bf4 and PS2 really. I hope it’ll help with recording as well.
lol yea despite the failures it is really good fun. The death recorded in the video was the first of three inflicted on me by xdc last night 😆 in between those deaths I also had an epic shoot out around the supermarket in electro and a fun encounter with snipers at the firestation in electro as well as near cherno. A brilliant night of gaming.
I’ll try driver cleaner in future, but I’m not exactly confident that third party programs will remove all the shit i need after i tried two highly recommended products already. I think it’s shocking that AMD/ATI make it so difficult to remove their drivers, though I do wonder whether it’s an anti virus mechanism? That could well be me being more than naive.
I got a GTX670 though, which will obviously help my DayZ frames 😉
I’m an idiot, but PS2 and BF3 will surely run like a dream once I get this, not to mention BF4 once it’s out.
