Resident Evil 7 on PC now has a VR Mod! This was one of the games on the PS4 that was awesome terrifying and give me motion sickness and made it unplayable on PS4 Vr.
The mod is very simple to install just extract it to the same folder as the game install location
The game which has been out for over a year has been a pain to get a decent performance out off. With random stutters and freezes and inconsistent framerates its been well a huge disappointment personally. So much so that I had given up on ever playing it again due to state of the Graphic’s Card market (With Sky-high prices) and the only way to get it running anywhere decent would be a graphics card upgrade.
The August update/Xbox release Patch :
Ever since the august patch/Xbox Release (world update 5) there were reports that this latest patch would give a huge performance increase. Some outlets reported a 50% increase in performance which I doubted most of these outlets have access to newer Graphics cards.
The august update give the game at least a 50% increase in performance amazing! The game which would never let me fly over high-populated areas like NewYork and London would finally and my god my first trip over New York was stunning. Looking down below at streets and cars moving along while seeing buildings for miles was incredible.
Even though Black Ops 3 is 6 years old i wanted to try it out again and ran into massive problems and it wouldn’t start and not even in safe mode!
After spending a few hours trying to search for a solution online which i tried them all, i found nothing that worked.
The first thing i tried was to add the games folder to my antivirus exceptions list.
Bitdefender: After giving up on ever getting the game to start again i was messing about in Bitdefender thinking there must be some setting that’s causing the problem.
Advanced Threat Detection-Causes the game to not start: Add an exception in Bitdefender and make sure that “Advanced Threat Detection” is on for the exclusion to “blackops3.exe” as below.
The latest MSFS2020 patch breaks some liveries working but theres a fix. The problem seems to be that the livery will not load now if the livery hasnt got a model folder.
In other words the aircraft.cfg file must have a valid entry in the model=”” field. This model folder must exist and must the same name as the texture folder.
[FLTSIM.3] title = "Airbus A320 Neo Aer Lingus Original" ; Variation name model = "" ; model folder panel = "" ; panel folder sound = "" ; sound folder texture = "EIN1" ; texture folder
The above entry in the aircraft.cfg file must be changed to;
[FLTSIM.3] title = "Airbus A320 Neo Aer Lingus Original" ; Variation name model = "EIN1" ; model folder panel = "" ; panel folder sound = "" ; sound folder texture = "EIN1" ; texture folder
So for every livery you must create a “model.liveryname” folder with a model.cfg file inside and update layout.json file with an entry for the new model.cfg file;
Flight Sim 2020 is a huge improvement in the Flight Sim series but one of the best things about is that you can create your own content! There are many ways from using the SDK to creating your own liveries. So i thought id post a collection of videos and tutorials ive found usefull
Liveries- Creating Your Own: Heres are a few videos on how to create your own liveries with full instructions, its requires some photoshop skills.
Photoshop/Gimp Method: This method is by far the easier in my opinion as the blender painting method can get tricky.
3D Painting with Blender: Really depends on your skills with Blender in my opinion.
Video1: how to paint liverys easier with Blender
Video2: Another Tutorial on Blender
Vid3: Shorter Video from the author of the import plugin for blender
After hours of trying to get the controls to work properly and setting up my old joystick to work with the game i was finally able to marvel at the detail in the game. Its stunning, this video doesnt do it justice tbh.
After almost 7 months of this problem and having tried everything i read about it, i decided to run a temperature monitoring program in the background while i played the game.
When i posted this problem on reddit every post i read said to check temps. Now i never overclock any PC hardware so i thoughts thats not the problem, i was wrong.
BIOS Settings:
There was a setting in the BIOS of the motherboard i had that was called ‘AMD TURBO-CORE’ which would over clock the CPU and cause an increase the temperature of the CPU.
TLDR/Long story Short/i dont care:
The CPU i had was an AMD FX 8350 and normally it would be around 70C Max load. However this bios setting made temps hit 82C+ and thats where the PC would shut down as a measure to protect it from damage.
Suggestions for various websites that havnt worked;
v-sync on in the graphics settings
set ‘custom frame limit’ in game to 60 fps see GFX settings
turned off the NVIDIA in game overlay
shutdown almost everything running in background;
steam, Ea Origin,Epic Launcher
disabled Hyper-V
disabled Windows 10 fast start up
Power settings CPU min state 0%
Set max Framerate of Graphics card in the NVIDIA Control Panel to 60fps.
Ive wanted to write a review of this game for over 2 years but things have gotten in the way, looking at you No mans Sky with your incredable patches!
There are many games some are well good and some are bad but some are just something new and amazing and Subnautica is one of those games.
Of all the games ive played over the years Subnautica is one of the most enjoyable games ever.
Word of mouth – No mans Sky:
When No mans’s sky wasnt what it hyped up to be, people where pissed. I played it when it launched and wile it was “good” it wasnt what was promised. The failure of No mans sky was a blessing for other small indie games doing a similar thing.
After reading articles dedicated to 5 games better than “No mans sky”, “Subnautica” was mentioned, id never heard of it. So i had a look at the website and youtube trailer and i thought to myself yeah, this looks good.
Chill out & Stressful?
This game is such a chill out and yet serious game all in one. You can spend all your time just exploring, just floating along gathering stuff as the games music makes you feel at home.
I cant recommend this enough, its one of the best game experiences ive ever had in over 25 years.
The worst thing about Black Ops 4 has to be the match making. The amount of bugs in this game 10 months after it was released is just unacceptable. Now before you get your list of excuses ready im talking about the multi player game.
NB:
the microtransactions work great lol. (tells you all you need to know)
Here we go;
This lobby is not joinable
You join a lobby the game loads it stops loading and you get his message.
Joining a game mid-game and viewing the score board is broke
Play of the game is broke: i actually thought it was just on PC but no its on PS4 too and doesnt display players setup
Replays:
Sound problems there are no gun shots if i remember right.
Kill-cam:
Doesnt display anything sometimes
UI Error 62811:
No idea how or why this happens, it happens when you join a game and then nothing.
PC only :
Block a player and you still see their text chat
