Mafia 2 demo crash1/7/2024 ![]() The moment Windows draws the volume bar over the game, it comes crashing down. One time I even got a timeout on Dark Souls 3 when I raised the volume using a keyboard shortcut. But this time they only happen when I open an overlay, like the radeon overlay or steam's. I thought this was worth a new post since they are very useful when you google AMD driver questions and can instantly get an answer.ĮDIT (May,7th): After a couple of weeks I got some driver timeouts again. One thing that I find weird is that this new update won't appear in the history. I even messed around with Performance Tuning while at it. These could happen while browsing the web on a chromium browser (even when no video or image was on screen), or while playing a game (I could reliably reproduce it by opening the driver software overlay).Īfter reading that some Nvidia users were having issues with Windows recently, I decided to check if Windows Update had anything for me, and after an update and reboot, I have yet to see the crashes pop up again. Whenever I turned on my PC, I would get one or two blackscreen crashes followed by the AMD Error Reporting tool telling me I had a driver timeout. ![]() But since they wanted Mafia II to be GTA IV but in the mob days, and it's not because it was never going to be, they could never give it a 9 unless they were trying to shift copies at GameStop, it has to be an 8 at best.Īny review for a game that's not marked with red on MetaCritic isn't worth the time to read.TL DR: Getting the latest Windows Updates might fix it for you too. It's only when you have something expected to be crap that turns out awesome like Batman that you can escape this obvious review system. ![]() They love blockbuster crap that they've been hyping themselves over for months, and anything else they just spit a 7-9 on depending on how much it fits into what they wanted the game to be like. Not saying the game can't be worse than the first, or even terrible, just that IGN/GameSpot/etc. Although those reviewers seem to have understood it's not GTA, it's a story based linear game instead of a sandbox. The fact either of them scored the console ports of the first game a 7 is even worse. They loved the original when they had a PC team. GameSpot is the same, the review now is just a copy/paste of the 360. They gave the Xbox/PS2 ports a 6.8 back in the day. The original game was reviewed back when there was a separate PC review team and it got a 9.2. That PC review for example is just a copy/paste of the 360 one, by the same guy. If they had played the first one it was the said shit console ports (which they probably didn't play as those reviewers have either moved onto real jobs or the games were thrown onto the low-pay reviewers who have to review all the crap) and plus they love average crap in the first place. There's a ton of reviews and stuff out there bashing it for not being "open-world with tons of crap to do" because none of them played the first game and just assumed this was GTA IN MAFIA DAYS! That's the problem with console-only idiots. Still, should be fun to play, I guess I just won't buy the limited edition though, just the regular one on PC. I'm surprised, I thought it was gonna get a great review, but it's apparently marred by a mediocre pacing, repetitive action, and a false sense of roaming freedom (unlike GTA IV I guess).
