Hi I’m trying to play Detroit on my laptop, but I get this warning before launching.

I have an monster laptop with:
Intel i7-10750H
NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (4GB)
16GB RAM

From what I know, the GTX 1650 Ti should be able to run this game, so I’m confused about this message.

Can I still play? How can I fix this ?

Hey everyone, been thinking about this lately and wanted to get some other opinions. I've been a PC gamer my whole life, always used mouse and keyboard for everything. Even played stuff like Dark Souls with keyboard because I was stubborn. But recently I hooked up an xbox controller to try some racing games and it got me wondering.

I started playing a few single player story games with the controller just to test it out. Games like RDR2, Witcher 3, some platformers. And I gotta say, something feels different. Not better for aiming or anything, but the experience itself feels more... I don't know, chill? Like I'm leaning back instead of hunched forward.

So my question is: for gaming does using a controller makes it more immersive for certain types of games, or am I just imagining things because it's new to me?

I'm not talking about competitive shooters or RTS games where mouse is obviously better. I mean for single player, story driven, third person stuff.

For those who switch between both, do you feel like the controller pulls you into the game more?

Is it just the vibration feedback that makes the difference? Or the analog movement?

Anyone else stubbornly used keyboard forever and then switched and never looked back?

For gaming on PC specifically, does using a controller makes it more immersive or is it just a comfort preference?

Curious what everyone thinks. Maybe I've been missing out this whole time.

So i used to never get the ultra quality even if my games were running on ultra so i found out its because of anti aliasing i turned it off the quality around me looks more like how it should at ultra but the graphics have become very pixelated please help fix this its happening in all the games i play. is it the nvidia app optimixzations or any game settings or amd settings? i have an RTX 3050 with 4gb vram and 8gb ram and a amd ryzen 5 6600H

MONTHS of fixes didn't solve this shit.

EASYANTICHEAT DOESN'T FUCK with SOMETHING on my computer and I cannot for the life of me find out wtf it is.

It worked in may when I first got For Honor but it eventually just didn't work anymore, and now that helldivers uses it.. it kicks me out of the game when I'm booting it up.

There's nothing to repair. It's not corrupted, again I've tried months of fixes and nothing has fucking worked.

For Honor, I would try to do a multiplayer match and every single time without fail, Error Code 0006000144.

VERY little people go through this because throughout those months of looking for fixes, nothing I fucking describe or look up ever gives me the same results or the fixes don't work.

I made like 10 posts asking for help and got no fucking response because nobody knows wtf is going on with it either.

Something to keep in mind is that helldivers 2 with easyanticheat worked when I turned on Proton VPN and also with VR Chat but it DID NOT WORK with For Honor.

Please help and don't just leave no responses I am desperate here and I have no other places to post this that haven't just completely ignored my plea for help

All my games, especially the ones with more real life like graphics, have that awful pixel-y look ever since I got a new PC. The pictures are from Dragon Age: The Veilguard but I had the same issues with Battlefield 6, Avowed and others. I reinstalled my graphics driver and I turned off and changed my AA settings but that didn't help either and I'm really not tech savvy enough to know what else to do

Edit: specs:
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11600KF @ 3.90GHz, 3912 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
Name NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 64.0 GB
Using Windows 11

Hi, I currently own a MAG B660M Mortar WiFi (DDR5) paired with an i7-12700 (the base model). The Motherboard apparently supports 12th, 13th and 14th generation CPUs, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what's the best CPU I can get in the future that isn't gonna make the mobo struggle with power too much, or should I buy a Z-model mobo and then replace the CPU.

Wasn’t sure where to post this but I feel I’m out of options so…Reddit please help! I downloaded Battlefield 6 on Steam and when I tried playing it said “SecureBoot needs to be enabled” After almost an hour of trying to figure out how to properly enable it in the BIOS menu, I was able to enable it and reset my computer. However once my PC turned back on it was no longer able to detect my monitors. I can’t access anything on my computer in anyway.

The PC is on, looking and sounding normal, but the monitors are no longer being detected.

I built my own PC a couple of years ago. I don’t remember the specific specs but this is what I do know: -Windows 11 OS -Intel Core i9-10900K 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor -MSI Mpg Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi ATX LGA1200 Motherboard -NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB Video Card

Not even sure what specs are important for this problem.

Genuinely have no clue what happened, I was just trying to play the new game but now I am unable to even use my PC.

Using the Chrome Remote Desktop app it tells me “Unrecognized host error: NO_RECENT_HEARTBEAT. Last online 10/26/25 1:11:41 AM” (EST) which seems like it’s just stuck in purgatory

Please help! I am really not that well versed in PC knowledge and i have no idea what to do now.

UPDATE

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! I’ve listed the specs of my PC above.

I did the basic steps of unplug and plug back in.

I unplugged the monitor from the wall, the pc from the wall, the monitor from the pc, left everything unplugged for a good five to ten minutes. Same results. After a bit of surgery I removed the battery in the motherboard and put it back but I’m still getting the same results. No signal. My PC turns on normally. My monitors turn on normally. Yet they cannot connect to each other.

In case it isn’t clear, I can’t access any settings on my computer because my computer won’t display on my monitors. Therefore I cannot access BIOS menu nor can I update any drivers or anything else. I was doing updates before my PC shit the bed anyway.

Maybe I need to replace the battery in the motherboard? Do I need to get a new graphics card? Am I just shit out of luck? I don’t know what else to do.

I tried using my brother’s GPU which is the same brand as mine but slightly older (RTX 3070) still no signal. Chrome Remote Desktop is unable to access my PC’s display

My brother then plugged my GPU into his PC and now he is getting no signal on his monitors however his Remote Desktop app is able to access his PC so he can only use his phone as the display

!!! NEW UPDATE !!!

My PC is alive and well!!

I don’t know how it makes sense but after so much trial and error and messing with the different PC parts in both computers, for some reason after removing two of the four RAM sticks and putting them back in I was able to get a display on a monitor. We have life!

Our theory is the computer was stuck in BIOS for some reason and I guess after enough time and enough turning on and off it went back to Windows and now SecureBoot is enabled with no strings attached. My PC is usable and Battlefield 6 is now playable and runs fine.

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions! If anyone finds this post after encountering a similar issue, it can’t hurt to try all the suggestions below and if all else fails, take your PC apart and put it back together-the ultimate unplug/replug method. Thanks again to those who gave advise!

Hello gamers out there i have a question about my wifi speed and why is this happening. Im kinda new to the gaming community so dont mind me, thanks guys

I've been trying to play Total War Warhammer 2, but its very slow to load, and I see on task manager the HDD is running 100%, but the SSD is not.

My boot drive is SSD, game is on HDD.

My SSD is only 250GB, so saving a few games on the SSD would fill it quickly.

Do I need to move any game I want to run onto SSD, and back to HDD when Im not playing it? Or is there another way?

Can't upgrade GPU yet gonna have to wait on that

I’ve had this problem for basically 10 years, since CS 1.6, then CS:GO, CS2, Valorant and The Finals. I’d be right on the enemy, I knew I was on him, I’d shoot... and nothing. Sprays were hopeless. It felt like shooting foam bullets.
It wasn’t stutter or low FPS. The games ran smooth with high, stable FPS. The issue survived:
multiple PCs and several Windows versions
multiple mice (different brands), monitors and peripherals
multiple ISPs, and moving house 3 times
Current setup: 9800X3D, RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB DDR5, Razer 8K mouse (not running at 8000Hz), Windows 11 26H2.
What changed (all at once, then a reboot):
Windows 11 KB5127648 (Oct 13, 2026 Patch Tuesday). Microsoft’s notes say it “fixes an issue that could cause mouse input to stutter in some games”, with no details.
ASUSTeK Mouse Driver Update 1.0.72.0 via Windows Update (probably from my ASUS motherboard, not 100% sure).
In services.msc I had two “Gaming Services” entries, one set to Automatic and one to Manual. I disabled one of them, but I don’t remember which. The GameInput services (GameInput and GameInput Redist) are still running, so it’s not those.
The result: night and day. Played a ranked match in The Finals after weeks off and finished 1st and 2nd, landing shots with the R.357 like never before. Reinstalled CS2 to test and felt it instantly. I can actually spray now, and when I’m on the enemy, I hit. Not smoother, just accurate. Same PC, same connection, same peripherals, same settings.
I can’t tell yet which of the three changes did it.
So:
Did anyone else notice their aim or hitreg suddenly “click” after KB5127648?
Anyone with the same long-term “on target but no hits” feeling across different PCs?
Anyone else get that ASUS mouse driver update, or mess with the Gaming Services?
Would love to hear from you, especially if you’ve been chasing this for years like me.

Can smw please help i dont know what to do

Hello,

My PC has been experiencing random power loss issues since I built it. Whenever it happens, I usually reseat the Type 4 ATX 24-pin motherboard-side connector, and the problem temporarily resolves.

Recently, I decided to inspect the connector more closely and noticed that one of the pins on the motherboard-side cable appears to be missing the metal contact. I’m wondering if I might have received a faulty cable that’s causing these random power outages.

I wanted to get more information before contacting Corsair customer support or ordering a replacement cable to make sure I am not mistaken on the problem.

I’ve included a photo with the suspect pin circled. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I posted earlier but have added the following image that I receive.

Hi all, I have just recently bought a gaming laptop to play with family, we play Fortnite however once I am done playing it, when I try to access google or YouTube, I get a prompt telling me that the file Fortnite is blocking internet access, it almost locks up my network, making me reset my router, I cannot find anything online talking about this, has anyone come across this?

Ok, so I really need help on this. Me and my boyfriend are dating for almost 3 years, and he is travelling to another country with his family to commemorate his bday. I have the keys to his apartment and he allowed me to stay here to play games in his desktop pc, cause mine is not that good. I decided to help with his things: his keyboard and mouse were extremely greasy because he never cleans it, and he has said before he wanted to clean it but didnt know how to. So I bought isopropyl alcohol and searched how to clean his keyboard, and did everything right. My problem is that I thought "so, to clean his mouse is just the same, right?". Wrong. As I started to clean, it started to remove a strange layer. At first, I thought it was just A LOT of grease, but as I continue to clean it, I noticed it was that matte soft finish to be more comfortable grippying the mouse. Now Im just scared, cause it was one of those expensive ergonomic mouses and I dont want to upset him, specially as hes taking a really deserved vacation, but at the same time, I dont really know what to do. So reddit, there is a way to solve this issue?

TL;DR: I tried to clean my boyfriends mouse with isopropyl alcohol and completely removed the soft grippy finish from it.

Hey guys I really need help here I’m at a loss for words so just yesterday pc was working like normal then I needed to use a printer so I connected it to my extension cord that also powers my pc then all of a sudden my pc switched off now it doesn’t turn on this is all it does. My fans don’t even turn on please help

I'm having a strange graphics issue on my Acer Aspire 7 (Ryzen 5 5500U, GTX 1650 Laptop, 16GB RAM, Windows 11)

In every game, even with all graphics settings on Ultra, many surfaces (tree bark, rocks, wood, etc.) look unusually flat, almost like they have no depth. The textures are high resolution, but they don't look right.

I've tested this in Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, and several other games. I've also tried DDU, clean driver installs, different NVIDIA Control Panel settings, Windows reinstall, and the latest AMD/NVIDIA drivers, but nothing changed.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what could cause this?

So I got one pc on which I do some important work stuff but I also play games on it like Valorant , Gta 5 , Destiny which got these kernel Level anti cheats which I ain't cool with

So I'm thinking of installing two separate Os on my pc One for gaming and one for work on separate SSDs

Will this atleast add some level of security and privacy? Would it work?

I have no idea what causes it and in theory it should work on my computer

Shows this

I'm only semi-tech literate, but I'm looking into purchasing a second hand PC since building and buying pre-built PC's seems to be expensive either way right now. I'm more open to over time upgrading an older one than dumping a bunch of money all at once to build a newer one honestly. My laptop struggles some with certain games so it feels appropriate to make the move to PC for them (FragPunk/Fortnite/Arc Raiders for example).

I've got a handle on generally the specs that I'd need, but I feel like I don't understand FULLY how SSD vs HDD affects gaming. I understand loading times are far longer for HDD, but is that all?? How significant is that? Because for context now if I'm to load up FragPunk for example on my laptop it takes about 2-3ish minutes. And to my understanding that's something that could be upgraded to SSD in the future?

I've browsed different threads talking about this kind of thing and watched a few videos but I still feel confused and maybe I'm totally being slow and if so, I apologize!

Any idea if this is repairable or should I just throw it away?

Every single time i enter a game to simply game or anything this clock shows up in the corner and doesnt go away. Ive searched everywhere about this clock and nobody can say anything about it.

Im using Windows 11 and a Nvidia Gpu if specs are needed.
