Thanks both, tried all the ports on 2x tvs tried the HDMI from my ps4 too. Now can’t even get it back on to factory reset to return to retailer

Try different hdmi cable if you have one but it does sound like a more serious problem to me.

Best game since BOTW or Red dead 2 for me. Absolutely loved it. Bitch of a game to finish but got there in the end.

For any FIFA players . . .

On the transfer market, every time I'm winning the auction on a good player with a really low bid, at about one minute left, always, without fail, a new "bid" comes in right at the "Buy Now" price. I know they're bots, but is there any hope to winning a good auction?

Very rare now as you say bots have ruined the chance for many bargains

Anybody finding MW2 online servers on PlayStation inconsistent?

Was in a game of invasion and MPS was 76, gameplay was pretty slick.

Move on to a new game and drops to 36 - 45 and the game was pretty much unplayable.

Definitely isn't my router as everything else in the house is running quite fast.

It's a shame that you can't even play a game anymore without all this cheating nonsense.

Sure is.

Either people exploiting things for money like fifa ultimate team or people cheating to make YouTube videos.

I mainly only play single player story mode games as then no worry about others cheating ruining the experience.

Sorry for my ignorance, but MPS? Do you mean FPS? If so, mines ok but im on PC. I don't have it on PS, but i played a game of normal MW the other day and that was ok.

Yeah apologies, I meant FPS

Season 2 is out this evening, maybe that's the reason as they're probably doing some work on it..

I'm relatively new to the football world and FIFA, so I'll be stuck with the bots for a while.

KSP 2 next week. That'll be me for a while. Also just got a 4080, and flight sim is unbelievable with it.

Atomic heart is stunning so far it's on gamepass too.

Just our the deposit from a new build, 4090, i7-13700KF and water cooler. Will be my first proper gaming build (current is a gaming laptop which I’ll just use for work).

Hugely into iRacing in VR and now should hopefully be able to max it out and it will be smooth as silk.

What other stuff, technically term Sam, do you have in there?

4090 GPU
i7-13700KF
32GB DDR5 RAM
Giga Z790 DDR5 elite MOBO
1000w PSU
Masterliquid 360 cooler

Was going to go for the i9-13700k but it’s going to be more or less gaming only so I don’t need the additional 8 E-cores.

Overkill on the RAM but I did the same!

The liquid cooler is rather good. Keeps everything nice and quiet as well. As quiet as it can be. Did you go for extra soundproofing?

I’ve not mate no, I’ll be racing in VR with a big sound system that’s guaranteed a divorce down the line so I’m not overly bothered about the noise although it’s being put together in a fancy RGB case which is a complete waste but apparently it had to be a decent one to fit the 4090 and mother board.
