Hyperstrike

Windows and Graphic drivers fully up to date? Have you forced verification on the game files?

Duncan's storyline was also tweaked to remove some rather "squicky" things.

Well, the thing with CK and Penny was kinda...well...KINDA... Sorta squick level of Tyrant and Dominatrix... Pre-revamp of the Praetorians.

What's your GPU? Up to date on drivers? Have you tried verifying your game files?

And doing "PgDn" doesn't rectify the camera?

I never said it wasn't going to impact employment. Just that saying "a tool shouldn't be used" in the here and now is ridiculous.

This is like saying that an employee who uses Word Processing with macros shouldn't be paid. If you use an appropriate tool that keeps the accuracy you require and makes your job EASIER, good on YOU for having the brain power to work SMARTER, not HARDER.

GIVE US FREEM!!! OR GIVE US DEATH!

The basic formula for Damage mitigation is fairly well understood after nearly 20 years. So the need for Medicine has been somewhat obviated.

Exactly. Usually in the load-up, most Resist Tanks pick up enough ancillary Defense that they're fine.

Yeah. I've been watching my combat monitor for a while Between Power Transfer, Numina and Panacea, I'm realizing some huge (for a Blaster) swings in HP.

Yeah. I don't really find as much utility in ultra-wide screens. Because of the way the engine's aspect ratio works, it basically steals height. Hence why my triple montior setup has them in Portrait mode.

With Resist-based sets, ones with no DDR, it's best to treat any Defense you have as an ablative shield. It's there primarily to Tank the initial alpha-strike and go away for a little bit as any debuffs that make it through diminish it. So you build for high Resist to carry you past the debuff. Because, otherwise, you become an eggshell. You're hard, until you crack.

*COUGH* FOSSIL ALERT! *COUGH*

I've told you all! Repeatedly! IT WASN'T MY FAULT! Some evil fiend dosed me with some SPICY chili and the gas was horrendous! I destroyed 4 toilets that weekend!

If you're looking for a mid-range CPU with gaming "grunt". AMD and Microcenter are going to be doing a VERY limited launch (as in, you have to be in driving distance of a store) for a last-gen X3D (more cache) chip. These are not "new" chips. These are actually from a bin of defective 5800 X3D parts. They've had the defective cores burned out, passed stability testing and van live again as a lower class of chip. The chip should be available and any Microcenter location for $230 (the 5800 x3d iis still currently about $300) Any chipset that can run a 5800 X3D chip can run this. And some boards way receive a final BIOS update for more tuned support of the chip. Is this a blazing performer? Compared to the newer 7000 series chips? No. But if you're looking for better performance on an older platform, this is a viable option and has the added bonus of not contributing to e-waste.

YOU? You were born what? About 10 seconds ago? 🤣😂😁

I dunno. I have a LOT of Tankers. One is my prime. I've written up HOWTO on several types of Tanks (primarily Inv). Does this allow me to speak for Tanks?

The problem is that the +Rech would have to be trivial to the point of "why bother". Or so significant that it would unbalance the game.

2.0? You think the versioning is that low? 🤣😂

1: Take a break. 2: Try doing the content in a different fashion. My current "thing" has centralized on trying to do all the hero arcs for max RM earnings. I've also tried running content at the highest difficulty I can solo (depending on AT). 3: Pick a powerset/AT combo you haven't done before. 4: Slow down to teaming content or events for a bit.

Or when there's a side-switch mechanic. Found that out with the Ghoul missions in First Ward. Had the boss HEAVILY confused, and he was beaten down. Then he side-switched and immediately attacked me. One hit. Two hits. Three hits. FLOOR! Was I pissed?

What're your system specs. CPU, GPU, Memory, and how full is the system drive? What kind of temps are you getting off these devices (INCLUDING SSDs). https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html What resolution are you running at? And how high do you have the graphics cranked? Do you have FSAA (Full Screen AntiAliasing) turned on? And if so, how high? If you crank FSAA too high, yeah, you can pretty much get crash on demand. HOW are you running/installiing/Upgrading your graphics drivers? Possibly try using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to clean-sweep the system. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ What's the spec on your power supply? Have you done any testing on your system RAM? https://www.memtest86.com/ Possibly try resetting the game's graphics settings to default, then re-tweak them back up. This should get you started. And hopefully one or more of these suggestions can help you stabilize.

Same here. But I'm quit PAINFULLY aware of how much of an abject DUMBASS I am.
