    In theory, yes, but you'll need to wrap the Windows API. (Which has a C interface.)

    Nope not heard of just C, but like you said it needs hardware access and apparently c# can't do that. So C++ would be my main option, I'll look into C now and see what it's about, thanks.

    C# along with dot Net framework. Period.

    Kivy for Python is pretty good but C# generally has a lot better support for building desktop Windows clients. Basically, I agree with everything Mira said above.

    Python I'd argue is good to learn some fundamentals of programming, but the problem with Python, at least from what I've tried, is doing anything other than a non-GUI based app will be cumbersome. Unless you can find a GUI tool that can spit out Python code, you have to build the GUI from scratch which I'd argue is an intermediate level task. Especially because building a GUI from scratch requires you to do multithreaded programming.
     
    Going with Visual Studio and C# will set you up with everything you need to build either a command line or a GUI based application.

    That would drive me crazy.. I would not be content with it starting only after installing the GPU while the pc was turned on. There has to be something wrong for that to be the "solution". At the end of the day though, it is a relief just to be up and running again. I know how that feels!

    Did you plug your drives back into the same exact SATA ports? Sometimes that can cause an issue. Have you tried taking everything apart and putting it back together again?

    Lol, yes my ping usually sits about 30, I believe I fixed the latency variation the other day as I set the region to Europe (I live in the UK) instead of recommended, haven't had a problem since! Just ranked up to gold 2 div 2 now!!! Your tips are working guys, especially watching the pros on YouTube has helped a huge amount! Really appreciate it guys!

    I can't air dribble and I'm at champion level in doubles. Diamond everywhere else. I think your issue may be you are trying to do too many flashy moves in a game when you could simplify it up? Just my $0.02

    You know, there's a psychological phenomenon that says people who are bad at something will perceive themselves as good at it, while people who are good at something perceive getting bad at it.

    First off, don't be too hard on yourself. This game takes thousands of hours to master. I have close to 500 hours and I'm in the Plat struggle and Diamond players are noticeably better. Just takes time.
     
    Honestly, even though it doesn't give you XP and people would kind of make fun of you for it... just play against the bots to start. There is a lot to learn and practice. I started with 2v2, then went up to 2 bots vs me only, then I went to 3v1. Started at pro and moved to all-star 3 bots vs me. When you can consistently win against them, then you are definitely better than silver. But it's not easy. Dealing with three all-star bots is constantly challenging. It will quickly teach you how to kickoff, get the boost, and get back to defend. And it will insanely improve your defensive skills.  I found 4v1 to be doable but very unfair.
     
    Another thing that helped me improve slightly is learning what to do and how to position myself. I learned this by watching pro players... not their tutorials.... just the pro players doing pro things. There is a massive tournament this upcoming weekend with all the big players from North America and Europe.
     
    Butttttttttt also, as others have said... just have fun. 100 hours into an e-sport game is way too early to be concerned about the grind.

    Sounds like you overthink the game. Just remember that it's a game and you're meant to enjoy it.

    Keep playing. The more time you dedicate to it, the more you will get accustomed to being on the field, and not panic.

    Only way to get better, as with pretty much everything, is to just keep playing. Maybe try changing up your tactics, hold back a bit more or attack a bit more and find what works.
     
    Definitely don't rage quit if you start losing. Even if all your team quits, keep playing. I made a point of playing every match to the end, even if I ended up losing 10 - 0 because I got so fed up with everyone rage quitting in Rocket League as soon as they started to lose. Playing against people better than you helps you improve.

    I don't think new light coloured plastics yellow any more? Up to the early 2000's definitely a thing, but not now? My old XBOX 360 controller was white and that didn't go yellow. Though storing it out of direct sunlight would be a sensible precaution.

    The Color of the Gamepad is up to your liking.
    We can't tell YOU what YOU LIKE. That's up to you.
     
    I personally went for white for my second DS4 when it was on sale for 39,99 in "days of play" sale...
    You don't even need that for Steam Games.
    Steam has Support for all major Controllers...

    You can use XBox and even Switch PRO Controller out of the box...
     
    Though I'd still recommend DS4 Windows because the Battery Charge thingy...

    Snifferdog3 reacted to Stefan Payne in What colour to get?   
    The LED inside the controller is actually RGB...
    So you can set it to a light red for example. Or whatever you feel like it.
     
    One thing that I don't like about the Steam Controller support is the non existant battery notifaction And I don't want to try it either.
     
    And for good Battery lifetime, its best to keep it above ~20% Load and maybe under 80%....

    If you're getting a PS4 controller for the PC, using DS4PC will let you manipulate the PS Move LED to be whatever color you want.

    Sadly I was not able to fix it, so I got me a 10tb drive and made a server out of it and got me a new rig with some better specs, I'll guess it was just the time for it. But at lest I got a good Exile server out of it at least. I think that was the best option and a end of the headaches. Thanks for your help, really appreciated. Have a blessed Christmas.

    It may possibly be that the motherboard only has 4-pin CPU power, but regardless I think you may have to live without the OC
