Re: General discussion chat This 2014 Covet is being discussed as if it's a real thing, but I can't see any threads relating to it. What did I miss?
Re: General discussion chat It's on the vehicles in development list, that's all I know. http://wiki.beamng.com/Vehicles_In_Development
Re: General discussion chat you know, if you want people to join, it'd probably help if you didn't have it invite only
Re: General discussion chat But if I do that everyone would join and no one would follow rules. I'll give it a few days and if I still have 8- members I'll make it open
Re: General discussion chat question, did you have to re-install windows or anything when you got a new cpu? or did it just work?
Re: General discussion chat I did the same thing in 2013 and didn't have to change a thing. Generally a new motherboard requires a reformat but nothing else.
Re: General discussion chat nifty, as i plan to also eventually upgrade, as my cpu just can't handle the t75 well (well enough for me anyway), and it has trouble with more then 4 vehicles as well(the more vehicles the more destruction i can cause, plus more vehicles at once for demo derbys), so i plan on eventually upgrading to a cpu that can handle the t75, as well as more then 4 vehicles, which my current cpu can't do i also went and looked it up, aperently there's this thing called sysprep, which will setup your OS so that it will load default drivers upon next boot, so that you can upgrade things like the MB and such
Re: General discussion chat Does anyone have a 4690K? I was testing BeamNG and my temperature got close to 90C when I spawned 2 T-75's, way too hot. I'm thinking of disabling boost so it stays at 3.5 GHz until I can buy a better cooler. The cooler is properly installed, I'm using the stock cooler with pre-applied thermal paste. - - - Updated - - - Or just use the driver CD that came with your board?
Re: General discussion chat well i don't think most motherboard driver cd's are bootable, so you would need to be able to get into windows, and windows can't boot unless it has SOME driver that works with it, even if it's just a generic Microsoft one
Re: General discussion chat I'm bored, so I'm making a house/cabin I designed in Sketchup. Hopefully I'll put it somewhere in East Coast as my cabin.
Re: General discussion chat I would give the stuff on the mobo cd a miss. If my experience with my board still translates to the new ones then all it has is some software suites, ai suite is ok but i recommend that you don't bother with it. Unless i am seriously missing something i dont think you can get drivers for motherboards, unless you count AI suite and the turbo charge stuff. But you can get BIOS updates, they are fairly painless to do on the Asus ones, just google it. You can do it with or without AI suite easily. One thing i didn't know for a long time is that you can get BIOS updates for graphics cards as well.
Re: General discussion chat No. Windows will boot into any machine without drivers. Many peripherals in a computer are standardised. VESA, all GPU's support this near universally, it only enables basic drawing functionality, but its enough for any OS to achieve display output without requiring drivers for each device. Most USB controllers can autodetect keyboard and mouse devices and then register and IRQ for a PS/2 mouse/keyboard somewhere (also standardised) to allow the OS (and even the BIOS) to read the USB keyboard. There is a basic USB api for all controllers too, but the PS/2 approach is more universal. How did you think people installed windows on brand new scratch machines? No way of installing drivers until after its booted.
