I mean, it's quite an achievement how bad this spot is. It almost feels like the devs designed it to torture the players. If you look at each aspect of the spot you will see how everything is designed against players.
-Silver is terrible for the suffering you have endure
-Each mob is far away from each other
-Packs are spread out on the map
-There is a ''pull'' mechanic but mobs are so slow that you lose so much time
-Mobs are so tanky for no reason
-Mob respawn time is absurdly long, even then the mob starts with an opening ceremony before its healthbar appears.
-Mobs fly and go invisible then back attack you for half hp if you are evasion. If you are dp, don't even bother trying this spot.
-Mobs have absurdly long death animation that makes you think if you should hit one more or just jump to the next pack
-The spot has a crystal tax so you have to run knockdown resist crystals
-Map is so steep it messes up your movement and attacks. You are always going up or down.
-Zone is a forest so there are billions of trees to not let you dash freely from pack to pack
-At night the spot becomes dangerous and you can't see mobs properly
-The mob you have to hit first is(Barney, Banos, Barnes or whatever the f his name is) always located right behind a tree so it feels like you are a rookie US soldier in the Vietnam war
-Drops are so rare and far in between, you can go dry for 5 hours
-Because nobody gets what they want, everybody is stuck in this damn spot until they drop enough items. You will always encounter other people because they are stuck as well and if you ask them, they are just as sad.
On the bright side, if you are doing a dopamine detox, this spot is perfect for you.

Hey y'all, I've been troubleshooting some potential damage to my PC for a couple days now and have had no luck so far. I was using it the other day when I spilled some water on my desk, some of which dripped down the side and into the top of my PC tower. Almost immediately, it BSoD'd. I hastily turned it off without making note of the error code, switched it off, and unplugged it. When I opened it up, I checked it for water damage as I hadn't heard any popping or smelled anything burnt. The only water I could find that made it through the vent holes and past the top fans was a little on some of the mobo's plastic shrouding and the backplate of the GPU (which still had the plastic packaging film on it, accidentally). I wiped off what I could find, inspected the mobo for damage again, and left it to dry. Foolishly, I came back only an hour later and, feeling confident and lucky, plugged it back in to see if it would work. It was then that I discovered my primary issue: no signal sent to my monitor. As well, it would fail to boot up and restart, which made me think it may have been a RAM issue. So I powered it off again, unplugged it, and left it to dry for another couple hours before coming back and reseating the RAM. That seemed to solve the issue of the seizing/restarting, but the no signal problem remained.
I put together this build almost a year ago and have had few issues with it.
CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory
Graphics Card: ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 OC 12GB
Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS GX 850 W 80+ Gold
OS: Windows 10
Like I said, I've been troubleshooting this for a couple days now to no avail. Here's what I notice:

• The computer's startup sound is unchanged. All the case fans and CPU fan spin normally. The PSU fan and GPU fans start spinning but stop after a few seconds- from what I understand, this is normal as they don't need to be constantly spinning. I think the same goes for the GPU's lights, as I seem to remember the "GEFORCE RTX" and "ASUS" on the side of the GPU lighting up, but I can't remember if that was all the time or not.
  
• No error lights on the mobo's EZDebug LEDs. On startup, the CPU LED is red, but that stops after a few seconds and is followed up by a yellow light on the DRAM LED, but that also goes away.
  
• When I try to boot the PC, the monitor detects that the PC is on because it wakes up from sleep mode and cycles through each input before displaying "No Signal" and going back to sleep.
  

All of this is telling me that my GPU is receiving power just fine and is being detected by the motherboard (no VGA debug LED), but it's unable to send a signal for some reason. My next step was to try using the my CPU's integrated graphics, so I took out the GPU and switched my DP cable over to the integrated slot.. Still, no signal was sent to my monitor. So then I tried out a different display and confirmed it was not the monitor at fault- my PC was definitely not sending a signal. Last time I had a problem with the PC (I can't remember the reason), flashing the BIOS seemed to fix it, so I then tried to Flash the BIOS. I formatted a 16GB flash drive to FAT32, downloaded the BIOS, renamed it to MSI.ROM, and tried it. Upon pressing the Flashback button, the PC started up and the Flashback process seemed to progress just fine. The LED flashed red slowly for a few seconds, then flashed quicker for 7-8 minutes before stopping as expected. However, the PC didn't automatically restart like I thought it would, so I turned it off by holding down the power button and then powered it on again. Nothing had changed, still no signal. At that point I decided to try the CMOS trick, so I unplugged the tower, removed the CMOS battery, held down the power button to discharge everything, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. After putting the battery back in, I was still stuck with the same issue of starting up seemingly fine but sending no signal to the display.
I guess my question is: is my hardware fried? Everything seems to receive power as normal, and the mobo's EZDebug LEDs aren't displaying any issues, but neither my GPU or integrated graphics are working. Is my motherboard just fried due to some invisible damage? I've taken everything except the CPU cooler out (if anyone else has this cooler, you can probably attest to how annoying the screws are to remove) and tried reseating everything, replugging all the power cables, swapping PCI-E power cables, starting up without any peripherals or USBs plugged in, and just about everything I can think of short of removing the cooler and inspecting the CPU. While everything was unplugged, I also tried cleaning any spots on the motherboard that looked like they could've been damaged with isopropyl alcohol. I also tried plugging in some speakers/headphones to see if I could hear any startup sounds, but got nothing. If anyone with expertise can diagnose if this is a Motherboard issue, a GPU issue, a PSU issue, some combination of the three, or something else entirely, I would greatly appreciate it. I can afford another power supply if it's failed somehow, but I'll be devastated if I have to replace a $200 motherboard or a $600 GPU less than a year after buying them. Like I said, everything appears all fine and dandy on the inside, but this issue remains.
Edit 1: I’ve also reseated the CPU with new thermal paste, to no new effect.

Hi!
I have a 34" monitor that I need to move quite often on my desk, and I'd like an arm to make it easier.
The issue is that I'm currently using a glass desk I had in my student accommodation.
I was wondering if a solution like that could work:

• My desk is exactly this one:
  • https://imgur.com/dS6UnZT
  • https://imgur.com/D8ptOSQ
  • The tempered glass is 0,6cm (0.23") thick
  • It looks like this below the desk: https://imgur.com/Z1gcPmJ

Would it work with that:
https://www.amazon.fVIVO-Fixation-Tablette-tablettes-fragiles/dp/B07NNVJHRY
https://www.amazon.fInvision-Bras-de-moniteur-PC/dp/B08B8X4KBV
As the bottom part of the reinforcement plate is 5cm (and wouldn't fit under the desk between the wall and the desk frame), I was planning to place 2 small pieces of wood on each side to further distribute the pressure (and allow the plate to fit), like this: https://imgur.com/XNgfRMq
What do you think about it?
PS: I know a wall mount would be easier and safer but I'm renting the place I am living in and plan on moving soon, so that's not ideal

Bonjour !
J'ai un écran 34 pouces que je bouge assez souvent sur mon bureau et j'aimerai un bras pour faciliter tout ça.
Le problème c'est que je suis actuellement sur un bureau en verre que j'utilisais dans mon logement étudiant. Je me doute bien que c'est une assez mauvaise idée de placer le poids de l'écran (7kg) en un seul point sur le verre avec un support mais je me demandais si une solution comme la suivante pourrait faire l'affaire :

• Le bureau est exactement ce modèle :
  • https://imgur.com/dS6UnZT
  • https://imgur.com/D8ptOSQ
  • Le verre trempé fait 0,6cm d'épaisseur
  • Le dessous du bureau ressemble à ça : https://imgur.com/9aQb4fh

Je me demandais si ça serait suffisament solide en utilisant ça :
https://www.amazon.fVIVO-Fixation-Tablette-tablettes-fragiles/dp/B07NNVJHRY
Avec ça :
https://www.amazon.fInvision-Bras-de-moniteur-PC/dp/B08B8X4KBV
Comme la partie inférieure du renforcement fait 5cm (et passerait pas sous le bureau à cause du renfort en acier), je comptais mettre 2 petit bouts de bois de chaque côté pour répartir encore plus la surface (et permettre au support de passer) : https://imgur.com/6OzjAop
Qu'en dites vous ?
PS : Je sais que monter l'écran au mur serait plus simple mais je suis en loc et je compte bouger dans pas longtemps, donc pas l'idéal

• Have an ultrawide monitor, but want to stream in a standard aspect ratio? No problem.
• Have a 1080p60 SDR monitor, but want to stream in 4k120 HDR? No problem.
• Don't have a monitor at all? Not a problem either.
• Don't want to buy a dummy HDMI or DP plug? You don't need one.

Essentially what we will be doing is creating a virtual display with a customized resolution and refresh rate (up to 8K 240Hz or 4K 500Hz). We will then be using that virtual display to stream with Sunshine to a Moonlight device. I will also be adding some automation steps, such as launching our apps and switching to and from the virtual display.
Feel free to skip any section that you may have already done (e.g. if you already have Sunshine and Moonlight setup, you can skip that section). You can also skip down to the TL;DR section for the summary; if you are particularly tech savvy, it might be all you need.
NOTE: I understand that this has been discussed in some places before, but I personally failed to find a comprehensive guide for getting everything set up from start to finish. So I have come up with this monstrosity.

Preparation

Requirements

• Windows 10 or newer (no HDR)
• Windows 11 22H2 or greater (HDR)

Limitations

• Maximum resolution is 8K
• Maximum refresh rate is 500 Hz
• The monitor is invisible unless streamed to another screen
• The color space is 10-bit RGB
• A maximum of 5 virtual screens are possible
• The Virtual Display is not HDCP compliant

Considerations

• The host device and all client devices must be connected, be it on the same local network (e.g. same house), connected via VPN (e.g. ZeroTier), or in some other way (e.g. Port Forwarding)
• Sunshine does not support Windows variables (e.g. C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Playnite\ can be used in Windows Explorer, but in Sunshine it will need to be C:\Users\xuvvy0\AppData\Local\Playnite\)
• You should always use full file paths for your commands, even if the executable is in the System PATH and can be run by just typing its name in the Command Line or Powershell; not doing so can lead to instability and crashing (e.g. don't use nircmdc, use something like C:\CLI\nircmdc.exe) -> this is a quirk of Sunshine and possibly a bug

Virtual Display

For this section, you can also follow:

• mikethetech's Virtual Display Driver guide on Itch.io
• mikethetech's Virtual Display Driver guide on YouTube

Installation

1. Go to to the itsmikethetech's Virtual Display Driver GitHub Repository's Releases section and download the appropriate release: * The 23.12.2HDR version if you have Windows 11 22H2+ and want HDR support * The 23.10.20.2 version if you have Windows 10+ and only want SDR support
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file into your C:/ drive so that the folder structure looks like:
3. Go to C:\IddSampleDriver\, open up options.txt; add the resolutions and refresh rates that you want and feel free to remove all the resolutions and refresh rates that you don't need * Every resolution and refresh rate in options.txt will appear as an option in programs and games resolution menus, so it is good to keep it short and simple * I suggest having your main resolution with several refresh rates and some fallback lower resolutions for troubleshooting and testing * If you have multiple devices to stream to (e.g. TV, Steam Deck, Phone, etc.), include their respective resolutions in the options.txt, as changing this later can be a hassle * Here is how my options.txt looks like:
   

   1 640, 480, 60 800, 600, 60 1024, 768, 60 1280, 720, 60 1920, 1080, 60 1920, 1080, 120 1920, 1080, 144 1920, 1080, 160 1920, 1080, 240 2560, 1440, 60 2560, 1440, 120 2560, 1440, 144 2560, 1440, 160 2560, 1440, 240 3840, 2160, 60 3840, 2160, 120 3840, 2160, 144 3840, 2160, 160 3840, 2160, 240 

   * Remember that there must be a 1 in the first line and an (empty) line at the end of the file in the options.txt
   
4. In the same IddSampleDriver folder, right click installCert.bat and run as Administrator; press enter to exit the console once it is finished
   
5. Go to your Device Manager and install the driver:
   
6. Use Windows Search or right click the Windows icon on the Taskbar and select Device Manager
   
7. Go to Actions > Add Legacy Hardware, click Next
   
8. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
   
9. Select Display adapters and go Next
   
10. Select Have Disk
    
11. In the Copy manufacturer's files from field add C:\IddSampleDriver and click Ok, then Next and Install, then Finish
    
12. Go to Windows Settings > Display and adjust your new display:
    
13. Choose your desired resolution (e.g. 3840x2160)
    
14. Adjust scaling (e.g. 200%)
    
15. Under Advanced display, adjust your refresh rate (e.g. 120 Hz)
    

Getting Display Information

1. Open your Device Manager
   
2. Select Monitors
   
3. Right click Generic Monitor (IDD HDR) or Generic Monitor (IDD) and select Properties
   
4. Click on the Details tab and under Property select Hardware Ids
   
5. Right click on the text under Value and select Copy
   * The copied text should look something like this: MONITOR\LNX0000
   
6. Paste into any text editor, remove MONITOR\, save the remainder (this is your monitor ID)
   * The remainder should look something like this: LNX0000
   
7. You can repeat this process to get IDs for the rest of your monitors
   * Monitor IDs do not change, so they can be referenced consistently
   

Sunshine & Moonlight

For this section, you can also follow:

• the official Sunshine host setup guide
• the official Moonlight client setup Instructions

Sunshine

1. Download the latest release of Sunshine * Under Assets select sunshine-windows-installer.exe to download the Sunshine installer
2. Go through the installer steps by clicking Next, and under Select components to install you can leave everything ticked, though you can untick Launch on Startup if you don't want Sunshine launching with your Windows PC, then click Install and finish the installation
3. In the system tray, you should now be able to see the Sunshine icon, right click it and select Open Sunshine, where you should now see the Web GUI and you can set your login information

Moonlight

1. Download the latest release of Moonlight * For PC (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Raspberry Pi, etc.) * For Android (GitHub) or Google Play * For iOS (App Store)
2. Install the Moonlight Game Streaming app and open it on your device; you should be able to see your Sunshine host device and you will be provided a PIN (assuming you are on the same network)
3. Go back to your Sunshine Web UI on your host machine, select the PIN tab and enter the PIN to connect the Sunshine Host device with the Moonlight Client device

Additional Command Line Tools

1. For ease of access to the tools that we are about to download, prepare an easy-to-access folder for them; there are several good options: * a) Create a new folder, such as C:\CLI (best) * b) Put them in the existing C:\IddSampleDriver folder that we previously created * c) Put them in the system C:\Windows folder (part of system PATH by default) * NOTE: Don't use Desktop or the Program Files folder
2. Download the tools:
   1. NirCmd
   2. Multi Monitor Tool
   3. Monitor Profile Switcher
   4. QRes
3. Extract all the executables (.exe files) in the folder (no subfolders) decided on in the first step; your folder structure might look something like this:
4. That's it! We now have all the ingredients and the recipe is below.

Getting It All to Work Together (Examples)

Basic Example

1. Open the Sunshine UI, navigate to the Applications, select Add New * You can find various app examples in the official Sunshine documentation
2. Under Commands add the full path to the application you wish to launch (e.g. steam://rungameid/480 or C:\Games\GOG Games\Morrowind\Morrowind.exe) * If adding the app under Commands causes a crash, add it under Detached Commands instead
3. Click the Add Commands button
   1. Under Do Command add: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary LNX0000 * This step allows us to change our primary display to the virtual one, causing most apps to launch on it by default * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your MultiMonitorTool.exe * Replace LNX0000 with the correct hardware ID of your virtual display that we got in the Getting Display Information section
   2. Under Undo Command add: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary GSM7754 * This step allows us to change our primary display back to our real one, reversing what we did in the previous step once the streaming session ends * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your MultiMonitorTool.exe * Replace GSM7754 with the correct hardware ID of your real primary display that we got in the Getting Display Information section
   3. Make sure to give your application a name (if you haven't already), click the blue Save box once you are satisfied with your setup and test it by launching the application through the Moonlight client.

Playnite Fullscreen Example

1. Open the Sunshine UI, navigate to the Applications and select Add New
2. Name your application under Application Name (e.g. Playnite Virtual Display)
3. Add Playnite Fullscreen as a Detached Command:
   1. Find your Playnite installation location (default: C:\%localappdata%\Playnite)
   2. Copy the full path to your Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe and add it as a Detached Command * It should look something like this: C:\Users\xuvvy0\AppData\Local\Playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe
   3. (Optional) append --safestartup to the end of the Detached Command * it should look something like this: C:\Users\xuvvy0\AppData\Local\Playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe --safestartup
4. Add additional Do Commands and Undo Commands:
   1. Click on Add Commands
   2. Add a Do Command: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary LNX0000 * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your MultiMonitorTool.exe * Replace LNX0000 with the correct hardware ID of your virtual display that we got in the Getting Display Information section
   3. Add an Undo Command: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary GSM7754 * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your MultiMonitorTool.exe * Replace GSM7754 with the correct hardware ID of your real primary display that we got in the Getting Display Information section
   4. (Optional) Click on the green plus and add another Undo Command:

• a) C:\Users\xuvvy0\AppData\Local\Playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe --startdesktop
  • To switch back to Playnite Desktop mode after streaming
• b) C:\Users\xuvvy0\AppData\Local\Playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe --shutdown
  • To exit Playnite entirely after streaming
• Remember to replace C:\Users\xuvvy0\AppData\Local\Playnite\ with your own path to your Playnite installation location

Steam Big Picture Example

1. Open the Sunshine UI, navigate to the Applications and select Add New
2. Name your application under Application Name (e.g. Steam Virtual Display)
3. Add Steam Big Picture as a Detached Command: steam://open/gamepadui
4. Add additional Do Commands and Undo Commands:
   1. Click on Add Commands
   2. Add a Do Command: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary LNX0000 * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your MultiMonitorTool.exe * Replace LNX0000 with the correct hardware ID of your virtual display that we got in the Getting Display Information section
   3. Add an Undo Command: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary GSM7754 * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your MultiMonitorTool.exe * Replace GSM7754 with the correct hardware ID of your real primary display that we got in the Getting Display Information section
   4. (Optional) Click on the green plus and add another Undo Command: C:\CLI\nircmdc.exe win close title "Steam Big Picture Mode" * Replace the C:\CLI\ with the correct full path to your nircmdc.exe * This will exit Steam Big Picture on stream end

Additional Possibilities

There are quite a few commands that can be used to adjust our virtual screen for streaming and automate the steps. You can combine and chain multiple of these to launch several applications and set several parameters. Examples below.

• Launch Steam in Big Picture on stream start, Exit Steam on stream end:
  • Undo Command: C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe -shutdown
  • Detached Command C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe -tenfoot
• Launch Steam in Big Picture on stream start and Exit Big Picture on stream end:
  • Undo Command: C:\CLI\nircmdc.exe win close title "Steam Big Picture Mode"
  • Detached Command: steam://open/gamepadui
• Set the virtual display as primary and move all windows to it on stream start, undo on stream end:
  • Do Command: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary LNX0000 /MoveWindow Primary All
  • Undo Command: C:\CLI\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SetPrimary GSM7754 /MoveWindow Primary All
  • NOTE: Remember to change LNX0000 and GSM7754 to your desired display numbers
• Change the resolution and refresh rate to 1080p60 on stream start, change to 2160p120 on stream end:
  • Do Command: C:\CLI\Qres.exe /x:1920 /y:1080 /r:60
  • Undo Command: C:\CLI\Qres.exe /x:3840 /y:2160 /r:120
  • NOTE: Remember that the resolutions you want to change to have to be supported (in options.txt)
• Load one Monitor Profile Switcher profile on stream start, load another on stream end:
  • Do Command: ˙C:\CLI\MonitorSwitcher.exe -load:C:\CLI\MS_StreamSetup
  • Undo Command: C:\CLI\MonitorSwitcher.exe -load:C:\CLI\MS_DefaultSetup
  • NOTE: While this will save your monitor ordinality, state, position, orientation, etc., it does so using display numbers, not hardware IDs; as such it may stop working after a while and need to be updated.

FAQ

My displays suddenly show no signal, what do I do?

• You likely misconfigured some of the Sunshine commands
• If one of your applications has an undo command, you can launch it and quit it to restore your settings.
• Boot into Safe Mode to restore your ordinary display configuration

I have multiple GPUs, how do I know which one will be used for the Virtual Display?

• By default, it is going to be the first graphics card with a connected display
• Disconnect display from the undesired GPU
• Disconnect the undesired GPU itself while installing the Virtual Display

How do I update my Virtual Display's supported resolution list?

• Update the options.txt to your desired result and then update the Virtual Display Driver through Device Manager:

1. Open Device Manager
2. Under Display adapters select IddSampleDriver Device HDR (or just IddSampleDriver Device)
3. Open the Driver tab
4. Select Update Driver
5. Click on Browse my computer for drivers
6. Under Search for drivers in this location make sure it is C:\IddSampleDriver
7. Select Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
8. Select IddSampleDriver Device HDR or IddSampleDriver Device
9. Click Next and your Virtual Monitor will be updated with new options.txt information
10. NOTE: when you do this, your display numbers will change, so you will need to go through the Getting Display Information steps again and update your Do Commands and Undo Commands, as well as your .xml Monitor Profiles

I have HDR enabled on the Virtual Display, why isn't it working in Moonlight?

• Enable HDR in Moonlight:

1. Open Moonlight Settings (the cogwheel icon)
2. Navigate all the way to the bottom (Advanced Settings)
3. Tick the box next to the Enable HDR (Experimental) option

• Enable full color range in Moonlight:

1. Open Moonlight Settings (the cogwheel icon)
2. Navigate all the way to the bottom (Advanced Settings)
3. Tick the box next to the Force full range video (Experimental) option

The stream is very choppy and low FPS, why is that?

• This also sometimes seems to happen in Playnite Fullscreen and Steam Big Picture, but resolves itself after launching a game
• If launching directly into a game, try launching into Playnite Fullscreen or Steam Big Picture first
• Increase video bitrate in Moonlight settings
• Ensure that your network conditions allow for streaming in the desired quality
• Restart the host device

My game does not launch on the Virtual Display, how do I fix this?

• Most (fullscreen) games will, by default, always launch on the primary display, so make sure that your Virtual Display is your primary when streaming
• Additionally, you can use the Multi Monitor Tool (MultiMonitorTool.exe) to move any window to any display, forcing it the Virtual Display using one of the following command line options:
  • /MoveWindow Process
  • /MoveWindow Title
