Basically I want to mod my steam copy of Jedi Survivor because the white flashes on the periphery of the screen from aggressive UE4 texture culling is extremely distracting, and somebody's come up with a really simple mod that fixes it for most people. I'm under the impression that valve don't hand out VAC bans for modifying singleplayer games (because no VAC obviously) but I don't know if EA are the same, or if there's any other issues I should look out for when modding this fix into the game.

Gpu temps are really good, been keeping an eye on all my temps. As for epic, well, there's a reason I disabled it on startup.

Ok, so the crashes for CS: 2 keep mentioning "lib_burst_generated.dll" as the faulting module. I have heard suggestions to delete Unityplayer.dll and have steam reinstall it as part of verifying the game's integrity, and it hasn't crashed since I did that. The one crash so far for Rust was to do with that epic games background process, so it may have just been a once-off. I can only hope.

They're both through steam... maybe epic games launcher is screwing with it, being open in the background.

found an event viewer log for the rust crash:

I've bumped the clock down to 3000mhz instead of 3200. Also updated my display drivers, so I guess I'll see if that helps. I can attach translated dump files for each game if that would help?

Same memory kit. I'll have a go downclocking. I'm not having this issue with anything else so far.

The games in question both run on Unity - Rust, and Cities Skylines 2. I've only had Rust crash once or twice, however CS2 has had the occasional CTD since launch but recently has gotten far more frequent. The dump files always read, "ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s." Don't really get any crash handlers coming up afterward either. specs: Win10 home, 5800X3D, 32gb DDR4-3200 (XMP default), RTX 4070 12GB, Rog Strix B550-A, game is running off a 2TB Samsung 970 evo plus that I bought 4 months ago.

nah, just had RT set to ultra although the setting level didn't help anything. Found another inner-city tree because that's where it was most noticeable, and forced RR on via the usersettings.json file, then loaded the game back up. Doesn't seem to be AS big of an issue, if at all. It might've just been that one tree though. I'll keep looking.

Basically the title. It's especially bad when looking at moving foliage, but when I have Ray Tracing of any kind turned on and DLSS is enabled, it seems to massively amplify RT noise on certain surfaces causing them to have a kind of ghosting, glittery effect which is super distracting. Weirdest thing is, the effect is almost unnoticeable with Intel XeSS, FSR 2.0, or just running at native resolution (1440p 60hz). Turning ray tracing off and leaving DLSS on resolved the issue as well, so it seems to be some issue with Ray Tracing noise getting amplified by DLSS Quality mode. Does anyone know of a fix or workaround, I don't mind using XeSS as it looks fine and performs great, but it bugs me a bit that DLSS is so broken in this game with RT enabled. For reference, Control has none of these issues, and this is with everything absolutely cranked, DLSS quality turned on, you get the gist. Rest of my specs: 5800X3D 32GB ram Game running off a Samsung 970 EVO plus SSD.

not sure, the stores I've looked at don't say much else.

D-RGB 240. Not the EK Basic.

I have no idea what this is called, but I've seen it every now and again in a couple of games- Far Cry 5, Starfield, and now Cyberpunk 2077. It's very rare though, and in this example (Cyberpunk) it goes away if I skip forward to night time, leading me to think it's some form of light "leaking" through some invisible gap in the textures or something. The dots tend to move quite rapidly along a straight line, back and forth. RTX 4070, latest drivers, 5800X3D and 32GB DDR4-3200.

I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean that EK combined the ARGB and fan cables into one for the radiator fans? I have Be Quiet silent wings 4 fans in my case already that I intend to use for the radiator so if the included fans are a problem I will just not use them.

I don't want the corsair or NZXT water coolers because they require software to operate the pump, and this one looks better as well... I know EK is a well regarded brand for custom loop cooling but are their AIOs high quality too? My only concern is the chance of a leak, coming from air cooling it's a big concern.

I was playing Team Fortress 2 and it crashed to desktop. Never had this happen before. Event viewer told me the following: Faulting application name: hl2.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x639426e4 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.3324, time stamp: 0x7f9ebe8b Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x000e6d83 Faulting process id: 0x854 Faulting application start time: 0x01d9e2ec41b0affa Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\hl2.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll What does this mean?

My Asus dual RTX 4070 generally has very good thermals - in a warm room it won't exceed 70-72c on superposition or 3dmark port royal. However, the hotspot can be anywhere from 16-20c higher than the main temp sensor. Vram is fine for temps. Is this cause for concern? Max hotspot I've seen in benches is about 92-93c. I have experience repasting gaming laptops and a couple of graphics cards so I know a bit about bare die repastes, and I have arctic silver ceramic 2 thermal paste on hand. The card is still under warranty but knowing my local retailer they are a pain to get RMAs for this kind of thing because they'll just send it to Asus for a couple weeks anyway. I'd rather do it myself IF it needs doing.

Question: if I wanted to run the ram at 3000mhz instead of 3200mhz, but keep the timings, is that advisable? And would I just key the same timings in but set the ram to 3000mhz, or would it be better to enable docp but manually set 3000mhz?

It just froze up again last night during a run of speedway stress test. I saw somewhere that disabling global c state control in bios has helped a lot of people so I've done that, I have been able to run said stress test repeatedly this morning without incident while having ram left at docp settings. If it happens again I'll have another look at ram settings.

OK so, I put a new kit of ram in today, same frequency and timings 3200 CL16-18-18-38, but Trident Z RGB memory this time, just to rule memory out. Since late morning into the evening I've had a number of heavy stress tests running, including multiple runs of Unigine Superposition 8k (with and without OCCT medium CPU stress test in the background), I ran OCCT GPU stress test as well, I had 3Dmark Speed Way running on loop for 3 hours, Port Royal for over an hour, as well as a complete stress test run of Time Spy extreme and a complete run of Speed Way stress tests. The freeze didn't happen once. That's not to say it won't happen again, but it's possible it went down with the previous kit of RAM I removed. If not, I'm very interested to know why it's so hard to reproduce with stress testing software if it's a hardware issue, so I'll have to touch base with the team at UL if it happens again, given that it has only been happening in 3Dmark's software, and rarely at best, since this issue happened months ago with The Last of Us and nothing else since. In any case, barring some super weird type of hardware fault that I've never heard of before, I think I can rule out the GPU being unstable or compromised, at least phsyically. I just don't see how it could sit through multiple runs of Superposition 8k, and about 5-6 hours of cumulative back-to-back heavy benchmarking, without so much as a stutter. I'm getting stability scores of 98.6% and 99.9% in Speed Way and Port Royal respectively. If anyone has any other ideas, though, I'd really like to hear them. I have a feeling this isn't ogre.

Not at this stage, although I'm in a bit of a pickle if it is the GPU, because it's so hard to reproduce the problem that I'd probably never get a warranty claim approved anyway.

I mean, if I get the new kit and it doesn't experience the same issues as the old one, I can always take the old one back to the shop. If not, I at least have a spare set of RAM on hand for testing things if I should need to in the future, which isn't all bad. Another question though - I have options of several different Trident Z memory kits. There's a 3600mhz 16-19-19-39, and there's a 3200mhz 16-18-18-38, but it's a decent bit cheaper for the same capacity, and I like the look of either. I'm not sure which one to pick. Edit: I did a bit more looking and the X3D isn't supposed to be as sensitive to ram speed as its cousins, and given I'm already basically spending money on this ram kit to rule out an occasional freezing problem, it doesn't need to have the very best performance, just decent enough I'll want to keep using it afterwards. So I went 3200 cl16. Couldn't really justify the extra money for the 3600 if it's just extra performance, of which I already have plenty of. Reliability is what I'm chasing, rather than speed.

I'd rather just get a kit I can slap in the system and turn on DOCP. Been having intermittent / very hard to replicate system freezes and in my other thread a lot of people were suggesting the RAM might not be happy at its XMP settings. Another kit would rule that out.

I have the Strix B550-A motherboard with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. I found out today that my G-skill 3200mhz CL16 kit isn't on the QVL list and that may be why I was getting the occasional freezing problems with XMP / DOCP. \ Trying to shop strictly off this QVL list in New Zealand is, however, an absolute nightmare. On the flip side, potential RAM instability at XMP speeds is what led me here in the first place, so I feel like I should still be shopping for modules on the list. Could I potentially identify individual sticks that are supported and then find a kit that is made up of them pre packaged? I was always under the impression one could just buy the right type of RAM and as long as its box speed isn't rated above what the mobo/CPU is rated for, you're more or less good to go?

I made a post about this maybe a week back, but I was running into an issue where occasionally a 3Dmark stress test run would freeze up my computer. First the benchmark itself freezes, then I can try opening task manager but all the tasks are frozen on 0% usage (and this window soon becomes unusable too), and if I leave it too long I also lose the ability to sign out / shutdown using the windows interface and have to use a hard PC reset via the power button. Since then I have done a fresh Win10 install to a different SSD, there are clean GPU and chipset drivers, my BIOS is on the latest revision, I have run multiple memory tests including Memtest86 and found no errors, and I have frequently run SFC Scannow via command prompt and found no OS corruptions. I have stress tested the GPU in various games and ran 3Dmark Port Royal & Speedway stress tests about 15 times over the course of a week with no issues until today. I have put the CPU through heavy workloads too, without issue. After a week of no problems whatsoever this lockup happens again. It doesn't seem to leave any information on windows event viewer and it also doesn't ever cause a BSOD, so I am left with no information on the cause. Specs: R7 5800X3D (w/NH-D15s), Strix B550-A, 32GB DDR4-3200 CL16, Samsung 970 EVO+ NVME (Boot), Asus DUAL RTX 4070 12GB, Corsair RM750X (2021) PSU. All temps are well within happy ranges and no manual overclocking has been done (DOCP is enabled for memory).
