Apparently, the Monster Hunter update is maxing out Pat's PC to the point it's overloading his backup battery.

Also apparently, the anti-cheat Capcom added is so over the top that 50% of the game's CPU draw is dedicated to checking file integrity every second.

:psyduck:

The MHW poo poo is bad but a computer should be able to run at 100% load for hours with no issues. If it can't there is something wrong with the computer.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I still haven't finished the podcast but woolie realizing he actually just dreamt he finished the mandolorian is one of the funniest things I heard this past week.

I feel like that prompt should happen after X strawberries instead of after X level.

It's seriously about 15 minutes into the game. Like, I'd absolutely assume Pat did get that far and just didn't pay attention over him not getting that far.

Yeah you'd think so. Folks are reporting 100% CPU draw non stop though and it causing system problems. Now there's this data from some smarties that went digging in the code:




Some Japanese players also discovered if you alt-tab out and try to close the game in task manager, the "do you want to save?" prompt will trigger in game and this kills the cheat scan, freeing up a ton of CPU cycles. It's just... holy poo poo. MHW is a demanding game to begin with, but this is just ridiculous

My point was that a 100% cpu draw should not cause your system any problems.

That Iceborne poo poo sucks though. I lost 10 FPS across the board when Iceborne hit.

I praised monster hunter world for its excellent load times on PC. it took about 15 seconds to go from clicking PLAY to running around Astera, and then another 8 or so seconds from initiating a quest and being in that locale.

Iceborne is taking over a minute to boot, two minutes to load into Hoarfrost Reach, and the town has popin issues as well as taking 30+ seconds to load into.

there were significant issues with PC MHW at launch, weren't there? I remember there being some, but I forget what. nothing that was this bad though that I can recall.

On a whim, I got the idea to rewatch some of Crankyconstruct's animations for nostalgia. I found out they deleted all their content and I felt bad. Then I went on their twitter and now I don't know how to feel.

I thought Cranky deleted their YouTube channel because of COPPA bullshit?

Edit: Decided to look at their Twitter, there's some NSFW art but no nazi or pedo poo poo like I was worried about, as far as I could tell.

COPPA is a good guess, that poo poo is pretty far reaching. Saw a lot of fur stuff on their twitter and man I just can't muster the energy to care about furries in 2020.

I forgot about the COPPA scare. No one I follow on twitter has brought it up recently so I thought it died down.

And it was the art that threw me off; I only knew their animations on youtube so Cranky just had a, for lack of a better word, wholesome feel to them. Apparently they took up game design though. That looked pretty cool.

Oh shi-

My load times weren't affected by Iceborne at all. It's still just as fast.

I hopped in for another couple runs and it seems that the initial loads are extravagant, and then subsequent loads to those areas are fast, 10 seconds tops. so now it's "wait 2-3 minutes, then everything will run seamlessly the rest of the playtime". weird.

Naturally people on twitter and youtube are up in arms over this, they see it as Pat focusing on the "anime avatar 1% crowd" and being mean to those plucky folks who don't want any form of censorship.

Of course people only ever seem to say this when anime games do get toned down and only ever when its boobies on the line.
