That's an argument that can be thrown back and forth all day

I just feel your post was a little unfair as amd drivers were a nightmare for some games, and not all that long ago.

Both Nvidia and AMD have plenty of driver issues. anyone making these silly posts saying "ZOMG X MAKES HORRIBLE DRIVERS" are spouting fanboy nonsense ;)

His Hard drive seems buggered, the odd thing is on my 7200RPM drive 75% of the time I load in as one of the first players, sometimes by ages. I get a little quirk when that happens is theres mostly no sound, except for random snippets and the terrain looks like I'm playing on an Xbox 360, then 30 seconds into the game the entire screen jumps to High Settings and the Audio hits me like a punch to the face.

Load times aren't unfair at all. That comparison is just pure bull****. My HDD (7200rpm) isn't as fast as a RAMDisk or SDD, yet I get almost the same load times of SDD as in the video.

And from my 30+ hours in MP, I yet to see that "first Mcom might even be destroyed before people have even loaded" scenario.

Yeah they must be using the slowest HDD known to man in that video.

The game has been hit or miss for me. When I first got the game, I could play for about 2 hours without any issues. Now, I'm lucky to last 10 minutes in around without crashing. Siege of Shanghai seems to be the map that crashes the most for me. At one point, I laced up an enemy tank with C4. I hit the switch to blow it up, and instant crash to desktop :(.

That's because everyone uses Nvidia who makes horrible drivers.

 

Right now I have a GTX 280 ACX and my friend as a newer ATI card and he gets way more crashes than me. Your statement is not valid and people will argue either side and it will end up being 50/50. Lets face it. Both companies write some crappy drivers and both make some great hardware.

Hey the new AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.2 drivers haven't crashed my system... yet!

Not so sure it's a graphics issue. I'm on the latest NVidia drivers, myself. However, I only ever experience crashes in multiplayer. And even then, it's only the game that crashes. The rest of my computer is unaffected.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
