As a mod dev, this is why I set my steam to invisible...

    I make mods for RimWorld and my poor friends get subjected to this all the time (I'm really bad about remembering to set myself as offline and my friends find it more amusing than anything else) because the fastest way to test my code is usually just to close the game, and reopen it.

    Lol, the game is actually pretty snappy with a light mod list (Harmony, base game, official expansions + whatever I'm working on), I think my load times are only a couple of seconds. Plus steam will send out the "Alias is playing RimWorld message" as soon as the game is launched, regardless of whether the game fully loads or not.

    What mods do you make?

    I'm not a big fish, but I've been around a long time. Most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I maintain a handful of mods, but the biggest/ most notable are probably Setup Camp, Camping Stuff, and Doormats. If you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub

    More likely: Erik installed some NexusMods stuff that he'd probably rather not talk about.

    Me playing my heavily modded SkyrimVR that starts crashing every 5 minutes once I get too far into a save

    Happens to me sometimes with Palworld. Playing nice, suddenly a crash. Restart, crash after loading the save. Restart again, freezes while loading. Restart PC, boot game, crash after loading. Restore older save file, crash.

    Just palworld or UE5 games in general? Because I found a fix for that but it's terrible and I hate it.

    I don't play many UE5 games, never had problems with Pseudoregalia or Outpost Infinity Siege, the latter being really heavy on resources.

    I also thought Palworld was still on UE4? What's the fix

    The fix is so terrible that it comes with a warning only to do it if you're absolutely sure you understand what you're doing, along with the warning that I only know for certain that it works on a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU - it may work for other CPUs but I have no way to test that. It's a fix I saw posted and ignored because, as the admin replied before locking said thread, it's dangerous and there's no reason it would actually work, but eventually independently found myself at: overvolt your CPU. Very carefully, just by a little bit. I don't understand why it works, just that it fixed the regular crashes I had in Clair Obscur, Helldivers, and Palworld, and some of the crashes in Romeo Is A Dead Man (the latter also has other crashes related to the GPU). By all rights it shouldn't work and suggests some very weird behaviour from UE5, but somehow it did. It comes with the side effects of needing really good cooling and potentially shortening the CPU's lifespan, so it's imperative you look for alternative solutions that aren't stupid and dangerous first.

    I am not savvy in hardware space, but I'm speculating it can, for some reason, affect agressive trottling behavior of your CPU when it peaks. This causes evaiding correct evaluation of set conditions for said trottling that usually surprises these games enough to crash when their load becomes too high to handle. CPU doesn't turn into potato to save itself, thus games don't find themselves in the situation when it downsizes resources ready to use.

    Try undervolting!

    IT'S A JOKE, but it could actually help because it could become a little more stable but nothing granted
    if you DON'T know what you are doing DO NOT for ANY reason touch the voltage and just bear with the issue

    That game needed the troubleshooting to happen in development. They're probably just trying to get through Vault 22, that shit crashed constantly once you got to the lower levels. I was saving every 20 seconds.

    FWIW, this is a bug of some sort in Steam. My wife and I play together and I see her spam like this all the time, and her game is working perfectly.

    Our setups are the same, and I apparently never spam her. The one diff is my comp is on ethernet, and hers is on wifi due to it's location.

    Wonder if it has to do with connection.

    Is there a goddamn setting t9 disable the notifications? I looked briefly once and didn't notice one besides just going offline.

    Id love it if I didn't get put online by default every time I open steam...

    Each time having turned off one more mod to see if that’s the problem.
