@susie @BlinkRape I could realistically run the gpu without the fan curve but I've always been averse to even overclocking so I'm erring on the safe side with it haha. I got it for free so I'm trying to keep it alive as long as possible without doing too much to it xD

@susie @BlinkRape i think i'm also going to try unplugging and replugging in all of my cables because the last time i was having weird fucking display issues that fixed it lmao.

@susie @BlinkRape luckily i have both backup RAM sticks and a backup GPU to test with, although they are certainly downgrades so i'd want to get something better ASAP if one of those is really the faulty part.

@susie @BlinkRape this gpu was heavily overclocked in the past but is a 3 fan card. i got it from my buddy who said it was heating up and he couldn't underclock it enough to make it work again. turns out one of the fans was just off kilter so i fixed that and it's been totally fine up until now, something like a year later, maybe a bit more. haven't changed anything but the fan curve to make the fans ramp up faster just in case, but the clocks and voltage and everything is all totally normal.

the regedit fix, to my knowledge, basically disables a windows safety feature that will temporarily crash your graphics driver instead of giving you a BSOD. the threads i have found that aren't solved this way have been solved with changing out RAM sticks though, not GPUs, so i'd be more inclined to think it is actually my RAM (in which case, guess it is as good a time as any to upgrade to 32gb).

@BlinkRape @susie i did a simple registry fix and that seems to have done the job for now. i know it's probably not a permanent fix though so when i have more time i definitely want to try removing the fix and seeing if swapping stuff around does anything

@BlinkRape @susie looks like it is likely either a gpu issue or a RAM issue... what a doozy. guess i'll have to pull out my backup 1070 and give it a shot after work tomorrow and if that doesn't work i suppose it is probably my ram for some reason.

@BlinkRape @susie okay so ghostrunner crashed in about a minute of gameplay and was a total stuttery mess.

it did give me more info though when it crashed, said "DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED"

i was playing system shock for like 3 hours just yesterday so idk wtf happened in between now and then.

@BlinkRape @susie oh it's the pso2 tweaker, trust me it is literally the best way to play the game and has been for years.

@susie @BlinkRape oh, this is interesting. searching up the error code on twitter shows the last two posts being an issue with pso2 within the week or so. in fact, most of the recent ones seem to be issues with either palworld, apex, or pso2.

i managed to get windows update installed, gonna reboot pc again and then test out some other dx11 games to see if it really is something weird going on there or if it is just the game doing some weird shit.

i have verified the files and everything, even going through a 3rd party app that does a way better job of it than even steam does funny enough. all the typical fixes didn't work :P although, i haven't tested it with reshade UNINSTALLED yet, just with it updated, so maybe that has something to do with it...?

@BlinkRape yeah i always have it locked to 90 fps because i always watch stuff while i play.

monitoring the gpu while playing, doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary happened. the game just crashes with an error code that is normally solved by updating gpu drivers apparently. temp sitting cozy at 60c, nothing crazy.

i'm trying to update windows atm and i'm getting an error there too actually. maybe it's time for a new windows install? maybe it's an issue with my ssd? both pso2 and windows are on the same ssd so it certainly could be that if it's starting to crap out i guess.
