I remember those disks. a lot of games would be like, "what's the 5th word, of the 3rd paragraph, on the 18th page of the instruction manual?" :sitdown:

so we would just photocopy the whole manual :troll:

my grandparents first computer just had two floppies (no HDD). you had to boot with a MSDOS disk, and a lot of games would be on more than one disk. some would be super annoying and want you to switch disks every 3 minutes. then lord forbid one of the disks would get damaged and be unreadable :snoop:

@MMA @Ciggavelli @LÍQUIDO @N*E*R*D

Can any of ya'll help me out. It's been a minute since I read up on everything and built my PC so I've forgetten a decent bit of what I knew.

My monitor just went out this afternoon (Acer R240HY) and I'm looking to upgrade to something better soon (was already thinking about it but now I have to). Unless somebody knows how to fix it, shyt just randomly started flickering all of a sudden so I can't use it at all, random parts of the screen freeze and shyt.

What I had was decent I guess but I'd like to get something that's around the same size, somewhere between 21-25 in or so (not sure if there are any 1440p options for me), IPS, definitely want 144hz and whatever the best response time for an IPS panel I can get, as I play a lot of Overwatch.

Freesync would be cool too, I'm still running an RX480, but it's not a requirement. Wish I had sold my 480 a couple months ago when the prices skyrocketed and upgraded that shyt.

Would appreciate any recommendations as it's been a minute since I updated my knowledge so if I said anything wrong just correct me. Don't really know what monitors are the best anymore.

Thanks a lot brehs.

For the price that Dell G-Sync 1440P monitor is pretty nice.

did you try verifying the cache?

do other people on the forums have the same issue?
Click to expand...
I did and I searched the support areas and there are others that have the same issues but were never resolved. One dude was having issues with brutal legend and said he fixed the cache himself. I'm not that damn good:yeshrug:

Another dude said his worked after multiple restarts. The other game is fire pro wrestling world. Found only one other person with the same issue:francis:
