Rifts

[Pictelf]

Since my pc has a distressing tendency to lose connection when I try to open a Rift I am collecting the stupid damn things for doing it with. So if anyone wants me to come and open a rift in their game just gimmie a shout. Be aswell somebody get the use of them.

That's odd? Is it a known bug?

Haven't looked tbh, I suspect my pc is just a bit weedy. It struggles with the last part of the new stuff and the gaming with company gets a bit stuttery when its busy. I need to convince my IT support he needs a new pc and I can get his hand-me down

I reckon you need to mount a hostile takeover of your IT support.

Well I bribed IT support, helped him get a better chip and got an upgrade. Had to change Mboard to get a better chip and graphics. Had a wee shot and it was stunning the difference, looked amazing played much quicker and could pop into a rifts no problem but the game will play for about a couple of mins before my whole system crashes and switches off entirely. Talk about the biggest cock tease ever.
It is DIII/RoS thats doing it, DII plays fine (but I have lost my Bnet chars, which didn't help my emotional equilibrium) UT doesn't crash it, we tried some prime number calculator to see if it was the CPU overheating and it wasnt.
The only incompatability program I have is MSI afterburner and that got installed because I was having issues and hasn't made any difference, I suspect the graphics card so I may have to sulk a while until I can get another one.

Further testing and suchlike, turning the whole pc upside down and taking the cover off the side stopped gave me a game-length of half an hour before sudden death. Further swappage of graphics cards to see if that was the issue (ran fine on his pc) and it turns out turning the res down has made it playable again but the bottom like is my power supply is too weedy and can't feed the graphics card enough to let it do its magic.
So hopefully this weeks wage will get me a beefier juice provider for my greedy system.

Sounds encouraging. Next patch looks interesting btw.

Aye, the week or so with a pc that worked apart from being able to play DIII was kinda torture. I saw you had a HUGE paragon lvl when I was heading off last night!
