Definitely not something obvious like you've got no drive space left, is it?

I've only read mixed comments online and haven't actually tried one myself. However, it seems to be a bit of a lottery with the integration of certain setups and software. If you have patience - go for it, if not I'd be a bit wary.

Pretty cheap on Loaded.com for anyone still wanting to buy...

Still seems to be on target for somewhere around now, from what I've read. Seems purely console fixes I believe, too? Doesn't mention anything about potentially addressing the utter clusterfuck of PC inputs, which would have been nice to have been addressed. I mean....? ....and in GTAV there...

Not checked the specs, but I presume the damage/repair situation isn't fully implemented yet? Apparently all is 'normal'?

I'd probably go for the Switch 2 Pro controller if/when I get one. More so as I yet to even play the Switch 2 undocked.

Official Pro Controller - worth it or no? I'd pay £70 for a decent mouse without thinking about it. Paying the same for a jumped up XBox controller just feels innately wrong. f**king Nintendo! :P

I think the overall difficulty of the game is probably one of its biggest criticisms, when you play it on Normal. It does get too easy, too quickly. That said, it's a brilliant game on so many levels. Nice to see that you've got an appropriate screenshot of Panam also. ❤️

I use this at the side of my seat and frame. Looks a bit conductor('ish) and is silly expensive for what it is - but maybe there's a cheaper one on the likes of eBay?

I did - and then switched back to a wired K&M with USB extension leads. I was getting pissed off with the power saving of the wireless devices that sometimes wouldn't come out if sleep mode.

Same here - learn something new every day!

Welcome aboard! So, that comment - "or that the gearbox oil hasn't been changed at all." As there's written evidence of a leak from the transmission - the above would be my absolute 1st port of call. In the grand scheme of things, replacing the gearbox oil isn't expensive or time consuming...

Is that the 9800X3D? Makes a big difference on games that can utilise the v-cache onboard the CPU.

With my previous 6700K - I went from a GTX1080 which was a good combo in terms of balance @1440. Then, I upgraded the GPU to an RTX3070Ti and it absolutely battered the CPU. It simply couldn't keep up and the cooling for the CPU was way more active than previous. Ended up going down the Ryzen...

Absolutely this. Easiest thing to check & replace. Relatively cheap to do and getting a new battery is never really false economy - unless you bought one last week! A multitude of weird happenings can occur through a dying battery.
