On W*ndows I used DS4Wind*ws, and I have no issues with Steam, but how can I use it to play with RetoArch and Lutris?

Is DS4DRV the way?

I'm using the latest WineGE (8.26, I think) to launch MO 2.4 but some parts don't work properly, namely activating/deactivating mods (when I click on the checkbox, MO just freezes), launching the game (when I launch the game MO doesn't do anything, only when I close MO it says "something VFS" and the game starts) and actually closing it (when I do, Lutris still says that it is running, and I have to click on "Stop" in Lutris to actually make it stop).

Am I missing aomething?

I'm on PoP!_OS. Thanks!

I'm playing SSF btw

I need a stupid T4 unique that I haven't managed to drop (I did drop the ONLY OTHER UNIQUE WITH THE SAME BASE THANK YOU GGG -well at least this means that I can guarantee the one I need if I get an Ancient orb, right?- edit: no, Ancient Orb keeps class and ignores base, so I can vendor the one I dropped OK) or chance.

I missed a few years of PoE, so reading around it seems like trying Gwennen gambling is (or was) a good way to farm T1-T0, so I guess it should work for lower tiers as well? But is there a better way that you can suggest?

I'm at my wits' end, since I'm level 87 and I haven't managed to get it yet, absolutely my fault I know, but if I can't get it "soon" I will probably migrate to Trade league and buy it for 3c lol

I have a very old CPU and without multithreading I get abysmal FPS in certain encounters like Breach (which I'm farming), couple of times I hit 1 FPS, and average like 10 FPS, which often kills me.

Multithreading + Vulkan crashes the game with an engine error that apparently has no fix; DX12/11 crash the game as soon as I pick either. I think I'm running PoE with the latest ProtonGE. Any way to make it work? I don't really care about graphics at this point, if I can get 30+ stable FPS in Breaches I'm happy lol

edit:

• nVidia GPU and latest stable GPU drivers
• updated PoP! OS

This is my first league in years and I decided to try SSF for the first time, I'm building a pretty standard ED/Contagion Occultist that I plan to spec to Low Life if I manage to chance/drop the needed uniques (four unique pieces: Cane of Unravelling, Heretic's Veil, Shavronne's Wrappings and Presence of Chayula), of which only the amulet should be difficult to obtain since I need to drop a Blessing of Chayula, but the Atlas Passive should help with targeting Breach encounters... hopefully!

Still in acts and unfortunately I'm not dropping any "+1 to gems" equip, so damage is a bit lacking at the moment, but survivability is good and I'm moving forward at a decent pace!

What about you?

I'll be trying SSF for the first time next league and I'm looking for a guide, though not a full-fledged one, but something more akin to small tips and tricks to have an easier time in SSF, how to build your character to accomodate whatever equip you drop or manage to craft, for example.

I was planning on playing ED Occultist as it can get pretty tanky with decent clear speed even on just rares, but the uniques I'm looking at can get chanced which would be a welcome addition.

My main doubt is about six-linking... should I just abandon the idea? lol I remember trying several times and it always took a pretty hefty amount of fusings, though I've been always lucky since the one that took the most was just shy of 1000, which is something in trade league, but I bet it will be much more difficult to accrue in SSF

I don’t like being able to outrun most creatures in the Zone (in what world a man carrying 30kg of equip can run faster than dogs?), so does anyone know of a mod to increase creatures’ running speed? Also, can I add it to a GAMMMA install without breaking anything?

Thanks in advance!

edit: if not a mod, I'd also take a way to manually edit a file where creatures' speeds are stored

I admit they were way too cheap for what they are (like 15% cheaper than same-size Ironwolf), so I gambled it haha there were no indications that these drives were OEM or similar.

Back to issue at hand: since I can't personally have the five years warranty on these, only the original purchaser can, and I have no way to know who they are and when they bought them, I should just return them, right? And maybe buy the next ones only from authorized sellers?

edit: also, now that I think about it, and before I make the same mistake twice, there's no way I can get enterprise drives as a normal consumer, can I, at least not brand new? I expect any enterprise drives I can find will have the same issue, i.e. bought by someone else for servers or similar, and then resold, correct?

edit 2: actually WD sells enterprise drives on their website, so my previous assumption about it was wrong

I want to setup a NAS (mainly for storing games and videos), that I'd also like to use to watch said videos on a WiFi TV and to install games on a separate PC connected via ethernet. This is the part list I came up with (plus whatever GPU I can get for as cheap as possible, I can probably get a ~~GT 730~~ GTX750 for free). I also don't need it to be on 24/7, if that's OK. I can place it in the same room as my main PC and hook it up to the same monitor to turn it on and start it up.

What's wrong with it?

PCPartPicker Part List

PCPP says that R3 3100 isn't compatible with the RAM I picked (although I can't find why); it also says MoBo doesn't support ECC RAM, but on the producer's website it says it does (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A520M-ITXac/index.asp#Specification) , so I think PCPP is wrong.

I tried building around LGA 1150/1151 but motherboard prices are way higher (although CPU prices are lower).

I don't think I can make it much cheaper than this, since I'm buying everything, but if you can point me in a cheaper direction, feel free to do so!

Thanks in advance

PCPartPicker Part List

~~Ignore prices: I'm going to buy from different stores and I couldn't bother inputing prices manually~~ actually went and edited prices, also removed unnecessary bits as they were causing some confusion haha

This part list fits my budget and it's unlikely I will make changes to it, unless there are big issues with compatibility in which case the only change I can make is to go for a 7800XT instead to open up some of the budget to fix those issues.

Objective is playing AAA games at 3440*1440 100+ fps (ideally 120+), high-ultra with no RT and hopefully no FSR; what I'm keeping from current build are RAM and MoBo (plus case, CPU cooler, fans, and drives, but these shouldn't cause any issues). ~~I listed current drives, fans, etc. just to get a somewhat accurate total power draw to pick the right PSU.~~

I know about case GPU length restrictions, that's why there's a slim fan in the list that will be mounted front bottom, to accomodate the long GPU (Fractal's website says maximum GPU length with front fan is 315mm, standard fan is 25mm deep, 7900XT is 320mm and the slim fan is 16mm deep, so I should have 4mm of wiggle room!).

My main doubt is about huge bottlenecks with either RAM or MoBo. I'm keeping those and I'd rather not change them, because that would mean having to get a 7800XT instead (I know, for example, that a faster and lower CL RAM will give me slightly better FPS, although my current sticks are running at 3466Mhz and CL18, so not too bad, but I'm not looking to min-max to the last minute detail), unless such dated parts would cause huge bottlenecks that would make that GPU a total waste.

PC will be used exclusively for gaming.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

edit: after a bit more researching, I ditched the AOC U34G3XM and picked this Gigabyte after watching the video by Hardware Unboxed

The only bottleneck I see is the PCIe on the motherboard, which is only 3.0 x16, while the 7900XT is 4.0 16x. Not the end of the world, though, so I will pull the trigger in the next few days. Thanks everyone for your help!
