    There's some registry changes you need to make then, because it should never execute the defrag, it should be executing TRIM in that dialog.

    I was oversimplifying. TRIM is the only disk optimization routine that matters for an SSD, and Windows schedules it automatically.

    TRIM is essentially defrag + other shit. The SSD's firmware does it, and Windows just tells it when to do it.

    XPS writer is a software driver. It's fine, it's part of Windows. The problem is when you have devices that either have generic drivers, or unknown drivers with yellow questionmarks. Those yellow question marks cause a lot of stability and performance problems.

    If you still have unknown devices in device manager, you need to get that shit fixed. Don't just disable them. That means there's motherboard drivers you didn't install. You can also go into BIOS and disable motherboard peripherals like bluetooth or wifi or secondary SATA controllers if...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Because this game is still actively in the crowdfunding stage so far. Also because it's an collectors market, some of the ships that you could buy can actually be traded and sold for a profit already. It's definitely worth doing some risk/return assessment.

    Are there any unknown devices in device manager? You hooked the monitor up to the video card and not the video output on the motherboard right? Check the ram DIMMs to make sure it's in the right slots and not loose. Check to make sure you plugged in the power supply to the video card...

    I really like those Martins Potato Long Rolls for pulled pork sandwiches. But for hot dogs I like the New England style hot dog buns that you have to butter and grill on either side, like the ones they use for lobster roles.

    The government has absolutely no censorship control over cable TV. All censorship on cable TV is self-censorship by the networks. The government only has the legal authority to censor that which broadcasts over the public portions of the spectrum that they license to broadcasters.

    Wow, the fact that it still kicks the shit out of it at 4k is astounding given its supposed memory problems. You have to wonder if maybe the Titan X is being held back by drivers not being up to the task.

    I think once they start selling Squadron 42 copies as a finished product, they'll have more than enough money. The benefits of not having investors to pay off with your profits. You do have to wonder what the burn rate is on those crowdfunding dollars, with that many employees.

    They'll probably have to rewrite huge parts of the engine by the time they've got v1.0 of the PU out. The way they're planning on putting out these Squadron 42 campaigns makes me think they're going to be doing the single player stuff to get money/promote the IP. Then they'll get the social...

    Crytek had plenty of people. SC was the highest profile new project using the Cryengine, and it's a very 'sexy' project so I can imagine it wasn't hard to convince people to come over.

    Crytek almost went out of business, that's probably why. With the money Amazon pumped into Crytek, it makes me wonder if they're interested in SC as well.
