It’s so flipping stupid that Humble does that shit. Control all over again.

Nevermind it’s free update

I assume that the upcoming Choice bundle won't have the Enhanced version of Metro Exodus. And it's probably only the standard game

From the link in the tweet:
We are pleased to announce that the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition – a radical update that harnesses the power of Ray Tracing-capable GPUs to deliver an incredible visual upgrade – will launch on May 6 2021. The PC Enhanced Edition is FREE to all owners of the original release on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Good Old Games and the Microsoft Store.

so maybe you get both...??
 
Their FAQ says don't bother running this version without ray tracing card lol.

The DLC's for Exodus seems to be pretty long (almost 10hrs) and has positive reviews. So is Gold Edition a must buy at this point? Will upgrading the Humble version be even more pricey now because of enhanced?
 
I'm a huge fan of the first 2 Metro games and still haven't played Exodus. The 280X I had at the time didn't feel like it would be up to the task. Now that I have a gtx 980 I might give it a shot (standard edition of course).
Of course I can also wait until I have a PC capable of playing the enhanced edition but that's not happening any time soon.
 
Yeah, I... I just don't know. At least the last time I tried, just one of the two computers could see the other, but now nope.
I have no idea what's happening. Maybe the fact that my mother's PC is behind PLC. I have no other working theory.

Oh and I just did a Windows+R / ipconfig to see my IP. Just a whim.
...
Windows 10 insta-close the DOS windows that opens :fearful-face:

And my TV often (but not always) appears two times in the network windows. Nothing makes sense anyways and I don't care about that, I just wanted to send / receive files to the PC next room.

edit.
Will I have to use some ftp client ? That's incredible. And if you hadn't caught my drift already, not in a good way.
The way I'd go about is try to ping between each other, then grudgingly work down the possible list of issues. The fact you can't even access a cmd window tells me you need to burn some incense and format the hell out of it, or at least go ham on the anti-viruses.

Same happens here, so at least that one is not an issue only on your side...
Win+R -> cmd -> ipconfig works fine though.

EDIT: On another note, does Win+R -> writing the other pc's IP after \\ work? (For example, Win+R -> \\192.168.1.x)

as ezodagrom wrote, that is normal. when you use windows+R, it will just execute whatever command you put in, and then it'll be done and close.

Got order confirmation for the PS5, but I don't trust it until I receive the "sendt" email.

Anyways Im only getting Demons for it, will be using at least 1 week on Demons so I don't see the point of getting any other games on it.

Wish Demons was on PC, oh well.

Only got back from my mother's shot, sorry.
Trying that, I have access to the Users directory of the other PC. Does that mean I can just use that :thinking-face:
Yes, I proved I'm not a technical person already, so let's go all the way !!!

edit - Eh, no. Obviously. I need some authorization.

I think this is a great timming to recommend once again Metro 2033/Redux. First has been given for free twice (most if not all should own it) and even if you don't like much FPSes with little stealth mechanics (like me) is a really good game.

Also it lasts about 10-12hours long in case someone is concerned about that.

Bros, two monitor options:

34" 1440p 75 hz ultrawide

or

27" 1440p 144 hz GSync widescreen (about 200 bucks more expensive)

It's working ! Not ideal, though.
But first a question. Am I dumb and the Network icon I have on my desktop isn't for fucking Networking ? Because It detects my TV (sometimes multiple times) and my modem, but NOTHING ELSE !

I had too share the directory I wanted sharing and link it from \\theIP
Not ideal, because everytime I want to transfer a file windows now warns me that my Internet parameters say there is a risk. Die in a fire, windows.

If anybody have a suggestion or can explain me where I'm dumb, I'm all ears.

Thanks to ezodagrom for the very helpful suggestion !

It's supposed to show the PCs in the network too, yeah, but knowing MS they may have broken it...

If you know the other PC's name, you can use \\PCName instead of the IP. Though, I don't have any warnings like that (possibly because I turned off user account control?).

200$ is a lot so maybe just go with the 34" and save the money for a future 4k upgrade. Tho if you have a good pc and can play games at high hz (and don't care for ultradwide) then go with the expensive one. It all depends on what type of stuff you play/plan on playing.

I currently play on 1080p144hz and no chance I would give that up for a 1440p75hz even with ultrawide. At same time no chance in hell I would buy an expensive monitor (400$+) unless its both 4k and 144hz. I think those are stupid expensive for now.

I already have a 1080p144Hz and honestly I don't mind it. But an upgrade would be nice.

I don't understand why some devs of games with great gameplay don't release more Story DLC. I would love me some more Battletech DLC, or even a Battletech 2. What does harebrained schemes even work in since Battletech in 2017 and 3 DLC after that?
...
I assume that they stopped working on Battletech because they don't own the IP. More specifically: Paradox Interactive does not own the IP.
Paradox loves to make games based on IPs they own. Because of this they also bought White Wolf (World of Darkness / Vampire: The Masquerade).
They are trying to play the long game with this. They know that not all games will be super successful. But when a game is successful they can continue to sell DLCs and new games for years without the need to involve a third party.

As far as I know Microsoft is the current holder of the Battletech license.
Wild speculation: Perhaps one of Microsofts internal RPG studios is working on a Battletech game?

Oh man, i wish games would just add an option to chose either Xbox or Ps or Nintendo button icons in games.

Is it a hard thing to add?
 
You could play ToCS 4 :P

(IMHO, once you add dynamic button prompts once which can be quite some overhead, adding different sets of glyphs should be easy. Of course, I've also seen things that were implemented in such a way that each additional set requires significant manual effort)

I only see one option here. VRR. :p With Ultrawide, won't you run into problems with games that don't support it? You'd have to rely on hacks, for what I understand.
 
Playing anything even approaching 90-120fps is just... My eyes feel like they have left the stratosphere. MHW is glorious, Nioh 2 is crispy clear, it's a joy. Coming from 4:4:2 streaming to that is quite the visual whiplash. I honestly am going to need a framerate counter to even tell the difference.
 
Is the Humble Choice version of Control really behind in patches? Even if you bought the DLC? Wow 505.

It's a free upgrade. Anyway, Metro Exodus and Control are some of the few (former) EGS exclusives that I wanted to play. It's great to see both games on Humble Choice, since I probably wouldn't have bought them otherwise. Big publishers signing exclusivity deals is nothing but greed imo.

My plan is that on the day that I get to play control, I'd install it, overwrite the existing ver. with the Ultimate edition then play it that way.

Here's a compromise. In a manual devs put url to inputs cheat sheet which has all controllers: square on ps4 = Y on x1 = wii whatever etc.
Then when you see press square you just follow that url and see that on your xbox controller Y input is expected. You press Y.
Now circle prompt appears..

I must give back my gamer card here. I’m afraid that I just don’t get gsync, or hdr for that matter. I suppose I need a point of reference when all I can obviously get is one version running at a time.
Do what I play feels good to play, or is the IQ to my liking or not, that I can get. But I lack the expertise to imagine what it would feel like in another setting, so to speak.
I should maybe try to play a locked 30fps game.

My understanding of gsync:
If you one has a 120 hz monitor, and the game they running is 30 fps or 60 fps and can't go higher
gsync smoothes it/fixes this issue so no stuttering or whatever happens when playing.

Oh yeah you remind me that I totally get the opposite benefit of VRR with the elimination of having to choose between tearing and vsync.
About your point, maybe I lack the point of reference of using a 120hz monitor without VRR.
