    This used to be how many games were and I have a few capable of it.
    Some older ones from about 2005 and earlier has this feature, I can name the original COD through COD2 at least and a really old one, Jane's WWII Fighters (Circa 1998) with this capability.
    Load it up, let whomever else will be in know what the IP will be for you hosting the game and go for it.

    With games around 2006 and later this began to die off because of Steam and Valve coming to be as online services, if you wanted to go online with your buds after that then it's login through either one and play while paying them to do the same thing you could have done yourself for free before.

    In the case of something that's an MMO or just a really large game period, it makes sense to have a dedicated server so you don't have to pony up for all that in terms of hardware/local storage but they swept it all under the same "Pay-Rug" you play under these days. 

    If there are any around these days still capable of it, I don't about them since I quit all that when Valve and Steam came around.

    This is very important to everyone playing games. If this goes through, the persistent for how future and current games are made/played will be changed forever. This is for the benefit of everyone. Its a lengthy watch, but he explains everything in great detail in the video.

    That's generally not how laptop ports are set up, so unless your manual specifically mentions they can be used as a video input, I would say no.

    And that is why your issue has nothing to do with your monitor. Your graphics card driver is crashing. As always, if you want help share your complete system details.

    idk why but the consor bot doesn't like my comment

    IT'S NOT EVEN IN BETA ITS STILL IN ALPHA. In the time span of Star Citizen being in development Elon Musk announced, built and launched a rocket into space, and not to mention the games macro transactions from ALL the ships you can buy in the store. As of June 2020 the game has over $300 MILLION U.S DOLLARS FROM FUNDING(source: wiki). The closet game that i can think of to having that budget is GTA V from somewhere between $137 million to $265 million(source: Business Insider) and it was in development for about 3 years as opposed to Star Citizen's development which is on going and has been in development since 2010. My prediction for that games relase date is 2025.

    i wanted an exact date on this comment so i can look back on it in 5 years to see if my prediction was right.

    With all those numbers I think it sees you as an advertising bot so a workaround would be to remove the dollars and maybe full out type the numbers/do some weird things/make intentional spelling mistakes.

    Cause of this glitch If you spend 1000$ (cad) you can get lots of triple-A games for the next 12 years
    each month is worth 6.77 (cad + tax)
     
    so 1000 / 6.77 = 147.710487445 thats how many months you'll get or 12 years only downside is:
    1. you would need a large sum of money upfront
    2. you would have to preform the glitch 147 times i think

    eric1830 reacted to butler1233 in Upgrading an old amd laptop   
    You're unlikely to be able to just upgrade a laptop. You'd be a lot better just buying a newish one, than buying an older one and trying to upgrade it. If you did manage to find one that is even upgradeable (usually the CPU is soldered to the motherboard), the cooling system probably wouldn't be able to keep the chip cool - That's a 65w chip, so keeping that cool in a laptop would be awkward. Battery life would be practically non-existent too.

    I'd go with something under $100 (boop) and upgrade your processor and motherboard. After your pc is refreshed you can save up for a high end case and swap later. Save your old parts and put them in the cheapo case when you swap. Now you have a cheap file server. Or most of a dedicated streaming pc. Or sell it and pay off some of the credit card debt from the expensive case.

    350USD for an open air case. if you're not water cooling in it, it isn't worth it.
