Co-signing: make sure the name of the input is set to "PC"; that disables most of the post-processing, cutting down latency a ton.

TBF, those issues were due largely to EA forcing the devs to use Frostbite as their engine, causing a ton of work to be thrown out and re-done under tight deadlines.

Maybe because that mixes two different genera's and splits development time, often sabatoging both efforts? More focused development tends to be better.

For an analog signal that makes perfect since, as the EMS from the GPU could screw up signal processing. But for digital through USB? It's digital the entire way through to the external device, there shouldn't be any signal degradation. That's why I suspect poor drivers/audio processing.

S/PDIF only supports: Stereo 5.1 Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS To get the latter two, you need a realtime encoder, which few motherboards support (because licensing fees). Meaning unless the content you plan to listen to has a pre-encoded Dolby/DTS track, you are limited to Stereo output. S/PDIF...

That's actually odd, given the output is entirely digital until it reaches the DAC. Makes me suspect the PC can't keep a consistent audio output over USB (suspicion is either a poorly written audio driver or badly managed motherboard USB processing).

My complaints about Bethesda is more that their game engines are held together with duct tape and chewing gum.

The problem seems to be the decryption keys in Dolphin seem to be hardcoded, which technically puts the entire project at risk for a DMCA takedown (depending how they were divined). There's a reason why CEMU makes you back them up from your own console, for instance.

360 Controllers were built as tanks. Still useing a wired one as my PC gamepad. Same with mine and one of my buddies. Elite controllers are, frankly, trash build quality.

It's what Chris Roberts has *always* wanted; he would have done all that in the original Wing Commander had PC specs allowed it.

HDR is better on PC then it used to be; Windows *finally* doesn't switch back to SDR when you bring up the OSD or alt-tab a game. As a result, I leave it perma-on in Windows and don't worry about it anymore. But there was a period where HDR in Windows was an absolute train wreck.

Font is fine once you enable some form of ClearType text; even the one built in Windows is sufficient. 18 months use and counting of *very* heavy use (including a lot of games with static UI elements) and no visible sign of burn in; obvious improvement over my old B6P which burnt the taskbar...

Yeah, Duckstation or Mednafen (if using a libretro core) are considered far superior to ePSXe these days. PCSX2 has certainly gotten better in recent years; it finally got a major GUI update plus auto-updates, and major missing features (ethernet + PS2 HDD) are now working with built-in...

Anything the meets HDMI 2.1 spec should be fine; it's a digital cable, it either works or it doesn't. Using some cheap monoprice cables without issue over here.

Which I'm fine with; in theory, the difficulty comes mainly from the base stats of the enemies and what drops you get (which is largely determined by how well you are doing). I do think a mistake a made was crafting too much ammo after fights, so when the next one came I got almost no ammo...
