Wtf is going on?

[The Nameless]

I thought the videos were hilarious so I bought the game, but when I try to play it, it launches some weird Duke Nukem ripoff called 'Buck Thunder'?? Is the actual High on Life game in here somewhere? How do I play it?!

Keep going. Also, don't forget to answer your door when someone knocks.

Yeah I played through it and found out. Unfortunately I found the game to be less than fully exciting, and the comedic value of the chattering weapons was absolutely ruined by the fact that they never shut up. Got on my nerves and the whole thing got old after about an hour, and I've requested a refund. :/

There’s a setting that you could’ve changed that sets how frequently they talk.

Nah. Honestly, this is a game I can enjoy for as long as it takes to watch a youtube video. I guess my takeaway from this should be "don't assume I'll like the game just because I like the videos." :P And it runs like feces on my computer. Made for Xbox, crappy optimization on the port.

Thanks anyway though. I hope you guys get more out of it than I did!

this game runs on my 13 years old testsystem with 60 FPS (fx8350, rx6600 x8), what type of RIG you are running ?

Are you sure you got that right? The RX 6600 x8 isn't even 2 years old, dude.

yes the GPU is newer but the rest of the system is 13 Years old, it does not matter much the GPU is running at pci express 2.0 x8 at this system

full specs:

CPU fx8350
RAM 32 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz
Mainboard 990FX chipset
GPU is new 2 years rx 6600 x8 but as i said it does not count much because the PCI express limitation to 2.0 does not make any advantage for running this game.

Ryzen 9 5900x, 2080ti, 16GB RAM, every drive is an SSD with plenty of extra space for caching. :P Well above the recommended specs. Really should be able to run this game smoothly on at least medium graphics, but even when I turn them down to crap, my framerate is still crap.

Something else in your System must cause the problem.
Bios is uptodate ?
Firmware of the gpu is uptodate ?
SAM/resizebar is activated ?
Are there System Problems in Windows checked ?
What Background apps you are running ?

A lot of questions but because you do not own the game anymore there are no testscenario possible.
We could check together if something in your System does not run like it should.

I'll check... all that stuff you just said. (sigh) Plugging in parts is a lot easier than remembering all the weird software stuff that goes on in a computer.

This is why i offered help for analysis like i done with nearly 2000 ppl in the elden ring forum.

There are ways to check such things in Windows by using the Tools Windows provide.

I know it is bot easy for normal users, mist things can be checked with the help of a expert in this area (like me), by tell you how to check these things.

Just for the start:

Windows key+r
Msinfo32
Line 11 and 16 would tell me if the bios is uptodate
Windows key+r
Eventvwr
Left side Windows logs and there application will Show a list of System logs that would reveal a internal Windows problem.
Starting command prompt as Administrator and running this command
Tasklist > c:\tasks.txt
Creates a snapshot of running processes i can analyse.
For the Firmware you have to check the manufacturer Website of your gpu.

There are more stuff to check problems with specific Tools and also some Windows commands to check and repair Windows internal faults.

Ok, my bios hasn't been updated since 2021. That needs attention. I'm trying to navigate some kind of internet maze to see if I can find a bios update to download (while not falling for all the google results for free "update utilities" that may or may not update anything but definitely will fill my computer with spyware and adware and possibly outright malware.)

There are two errors in my system logs, something about GENERICDRV having a certificate revoked. I suspect if that hadn't been resolved, my computer wouldn't be running. Everything else is just information about stuff getting serviced.

This.... is going to take awhile. On the bright side, while I may not own High on Life anymore, I would very definitely like to see Starfield, on which I have well over 300 hours, start running better. So I do have something to test it on.

I can't run tasks.txt as a command, because that's a text file. I went down to the base directory and tried dir tasks.txt /s but it didn't return any results. I think I'm going to have to go over my processes in the task manager.

The certification revoked can be a result at a outdated bios because Windows deactivated a server and some Hardware has the certificate tied to the bios, bios Updates are available at the support page of your Mainboard also a check for newer drivers at the manufacturer Website of your Mainboard has to be done after the bios update.
