Quoting: CatKiller

Quoting: brokeassbenI'm having frequent complete system freezes that require a hard reset and nothing I've tried so far is helping. Different drives, entirely different distros, updated the BIOS, tested RAM, and still freezing. Sooo damn frustrating.

Power supply is the next item on your checklist.

In addition to CatKiller suggestion, you may also want to try setting a fixed voltage for your CPU, closest to the "auto" setting. I remember having to do that on "cheap" motherboard, and setting a fixed value solved the problems for me. Might be worth a try. Also, check the CPU temperature, in these hot days ; you may want to try underclocking the CPU a little, and see if it improves stability.

More likely this is the infamous Ryzen power bug that affects Ryzen 1xxx and 2xxx processors. If these freezes or restarts happen when CPU is doing very little or idling, you're probably affected. In the kernel.log you should see something like this at the time of the incident:

Jun 19 19:31:21 Kassad kernel: [ 0.116004] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
Jun 19 19:31:21 Kassad kernel: [ 0.116004] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 1: Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: bea0000000000108

The solution is to find in EFI setting "Power supply idle control", usually it's somewhere in the advanced settings, depends on the mobo manufacturer. You need to change the setting from Auto to Typical Current Idle.

Quoting: brokeassbenJust replayed Dishonored via Proton and it runs extremely well at max settings on an ultrawide monitor. Installed Dishonored 2 as soon as I completed the first one and it is unfortunately a bit stuttery when entering new areas--hopefully there's a fix for that.

Turn on esync. Also make sure you let shaders compile, it takes a bit longer for this game, don't know why. After that it's smooth as butter. I enjoyed it greatly.

Tried to open an account, says that email is already in use. I most definitely didn't open an account for this game.

A bunch of fail. Looks like I'll skip this.

Edit: I probably opened that account to play some other EA/Bioware game that I no longer remember. I was able to reset password, but I don't have high hopes for the game. Likely a waste of bandwidth.

This was made in Bosnia, I recognized a location. Should be hilarious.

Edit: actually Croatia. My knowledge of old Yugoslavia monuments is rusty.

I played the first game, but I didn't like it. Too simplistic, like some time waster you would play in a browser to pass the time.

Wishlisted, I might get it on some higher discount. The thing is that I don't play FPS any more, but this game reminds me of free-flowing games of old, before Counter Strike arrived and multiplayer FPS became crouching behind boxes with a sniper rifle. I'm not sure if I'd enjoy this game after 10 years away from FPS, but for about 5$ I wouldn't mind finding out, current 10$ price is a bit too steep for me.

It was in the bundle for racial equality, I was very happy for that fact. In Time was a crappy movie, but the time as currency premise was interesting, they swiped it from an episode of some TV series I forgot.

Right, since there is a client, I've bought the bundle and decided to give it a go. Among 1700 indie games there is bound to be be some that click with me. It can't possibly be a bad deal and it's for a good cause. Apparently, I'm not the only one thinking so, as client can't install due to pressure of all the people rushing in.

There is a game I like in there and it's worth 5$, so the bundle seems good. The problem is that devs don't get any money from this bundle, there are no Steam keys and itch.io doesn't have a client, so I can achieve the same result if I send 5$ directly to charity and just download the game from a pirate site.

I like my Steam library because it gives me sense of real ownership. The games are easy to install, remove, share with family, they will be there when I decide to give some of them another spin 10, 20 years from now. I just don't get the same from others.

Dishonored 2, but the performance with Proton is poor. I'm going to try a couple of games in my Steam library that I have marginal interest in, see if something sticks.
