Add that to the startup commands in steam for Baldur’s Gate.

Weird. If your RPMs increase during these slow downs then it’s from engine braking.

It could be that your car is downshifting for the uphill and then remains in that lower gear for the downhill, causing unintentional engine braking.

Are you using cruise control to set the speed? If so, it could be engine braking to keep it at the desired speed. Some cars do this, some don’t.

Oh that’s awesome.

I use the new PE version since it’s still maintained and has had something to fix any of my problems so far.

Hiren’s boot CD

It’s a small ISO with tons of utilities on it. It’s great for recovering data if shit goes really south. I always have one handy.

Edit: toss it onto your ventoy stick

Same - I’m very curious as to what it is and how it’s used.

I hate the jargon used in some of these app descriptions.

example: “Enhance workflow with integrated collaboration and intelligent software agents to automate your processes.”

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO

Money isn’t too tight - I have a $250 Amazon credit right now to use on whatever.

I’d really prefer to upgrade the CPU because it’s already overclocked and still struggling. When I host a game like Space Engineers, I get massive lag spikes as it tries to keep up.

The CPU is just not enough for what I would like to do.

For those curious but not willing to watch:
The BMP starts cooking off immediately and a crew member tries to bail. He climbs out, fully engulfed in flames, and falls into more fire - I think it’s what used to be the ammo store.

Yes, Plex transcoding is awful. Hardware transcodes aren’t possible on that build because I have nothing that supports it. The earliest QuickSync capable Intel chips are the 8000 series.

CPU and RAM are consistently >90%. It’s mostly qbittorrent doing that by caching files I’m seeding.

Game servers are mostly stable but Plex struggles if it’s transcoding (necessary due to video file types and who I’m streaming to).

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.

Just double checked and the 13400 is 65W just like the 5600x, which has no iGPU. I know AM4 and DDR4 would greatly reduce the cost of this upgrade but I’d like this to last as long as possible for me.

I’d really like to utilize Intel QuickSync. Anything not capable of that is a deal breaker for me.

Exactly the same thing I did. Now I’m looking to upgrade my server PC cus it’s still running an i5-4690K and struggles if anyone needs transcoding.
