Report a translation problem
i'm a happy man today.
during this time i captured two(!!!) guard posts on the 1st chapter. then my computer restarted on it's own (seems like reinstalling vcredist helped: now instead of black screen and looped sound pc just restarts).
while searching solution to the problem i found that the bad pc power supply might be the reason for restarts and crashes, and i think it is actually causing all this sh/it.
when playing in window mode usage of the cpu and gpu decreases by ~20%(to see this i used MSI Afterburner + RivaTunerStatisticsServer), and so does pc's power consumption(maybe), that means the game can run a little more stable than in fullscreen mode.
(note: the game runs flawlessly in fullscreen (1920x1080) on low/medium settings(except for frequent crashes or pc's restarts); average usage of gpu and cpu in fullscreen is <=70-80%; temperature of everything is ok)
Do you know that in the store page they show the minimum required for this game ? If you didn't now you can check it and see if your PC can handle this or not.
Having worked in the computer industry for the last 30 years I quit asking why a long time ago. Why doesn't solve problems. It may help for better understanding, but it doesn't solve problems in the end.
The short and quick answer is that every piece of code is different. Depending how things are written they can hit memory registers differently or different areas of the CPU that may not be hit by other applications or even cause different power consumption. When things go awry, that is what you can chalk it up to most of the time. I look at it more as finally coming across an application that can show me that my computer has a problem that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
all right. gotta repair my pc then.
