Veladarius Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 I think I need to replace my power supply, in the last week I have noticed that if my video card is running full out it starts crashing my computer. The video card is a few months old but the power supply is around 5 years old. I know the card isn't overheating as it starts doing it when it hits 50c - 55c where it easily hit 60c when I first bought it with no issues. Depends on the PSU. They do age and sometimes they're just not designed for the power draw of newer cards, yes. But maybe it's a connection issue. Let's say you have a card that has 2 power connectors and draws 350W when under full load. That's 30A at 12V. And let's say your PSU has several 12V rails, with each capable of giving 20A. If you then connect both plugs on the card to just one cable (which most people do because it's easy and they don't have so much cable going through their PC) then the entire card gets only 26A (20 from the cable and 6 from the PEG slot itself). Which is not enough. Use two separate cables from two different rails (check the manual for which ones) however and you have 46A total. Which would be enough to power your 30A card. Just saying. Sometimes it's the simple things (like rearranging the cabling). The power supply is a beast, a Corsair 850w with a single 12v rail that was rated to supply 70a. I picked it up when I was looking to do multiple graphics cards as it also had 4 8-pin connectors for them. My last GPU didn't need much, just a single 6 pin connection but the new one needs a 6 pin and 8 pin connection to power it. Unfortunately as they get older the power output drops and with its age and pretty much constant use it is likely time to replace it. Edit: The new card is an overclocked R280x
Nergui Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 5 year old PSU? Something for you to read - http://www.johansondielectrics.com/technical-notes/general/ceramic-capacitor-aging-made-simple.html For computer PSUs, this reduces the total wattage output by about 5% per year. What this means for you is your 850w PSU probably only has an effective output of ~640w.
Farmthat Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I've been happy with the R280x. Bought two... got too hot to run side by side with crossfire, but on its own it has been the most solid GPU I've owned--rarely crashes... Still, it seems a little strange that the PSU would crap out first, and especially in a gradual way. The only power supplies I've seen fail did so immediately, and absolutely. One day working fine, the next day totally unresponsive.

What this means for you is your 850w PSU probably only has an effective output of ~640w. Since the card requires 600w it is likely putting the psu near its limit and making it unstable.

One of the reasons I picked up the Corsair was the durability of the components but I am sure if this continues much longer it will fail outright. I am getting another psu today, a Corsair 850w 80+ Gold efficiency (current is a bronze). How do I get keys......????? I have all three letters....... They won't sell keys outright, you can get items removed though. Speak with Kara (slave) and she will tell you who to go to.

For the 3rd quest extension I like the second visit items, especially since she is going to be visiting the VIP house for some sessions. The third visit items would be for more of towards a final visit sort of things though. On the slavery portions most of it is manual labor for the property slave except for during a few task levels. The two task levels just before the Bad End you are taken out by the road and offered to anyone who passes by, there is a random chance they will tip the guard watching over you. to pass you need to earn over a certain amount of gold that day (random amount). Passing the task that day gives a +1 for the task overall, failing is a -1. If you get to +3 you go up in task level, -3 sends you down a level. The lower level of this task requires a much higher amount to be earned and is likely to result in being sent to the cage (Bad End). I am looking to add some player influence otherwise there is a chance that it may never end...
Veladarius Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 New psu is in. I turned everything back on in my enb (Realvision) and it is running well and the gpu is running cooler than it was before by about 5c - 8c.

Veladarius Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 An option to remove devices Elisif? I play SexLab Amorous Adventures and i can marry her and can not remove devices. To remove them you will likely have to use something like aft or ufo, make her your follower and change her outfit, they are part of it now.
Gh0sTG0 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, have an idea of way to become a slave to Master. Maybe as a plugin for those who use cursed loot and triggered as its cursed collar quest. You found a collar(maybe on a dead slave-girl's body) with words like "Specially designed for [some name] by Captured Dreams Shop". It put itself on you (there at least 2 ways of dd appear on you only in cursed loot) and you found, that you can't remove it and there is no keyhole on it. You come to Master to get help, but she sais that this collar was specially designed to be unremovable. But, she knows that this man is dead, he was killed. And now, when you come to her shop, the magic of the collar is linked to her because she created it. All she can do is deleting name of that man from the collar, but she can't remove it. Now you should do all she say to you, the collar is enchanted, so you need to see Master and do some her quests periodically(period in days/hours maybe can set in MCM before you found the collar), or the collar would harm you up to death, as it was with that girl.
iggypop1 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Hi Veladarius I started a new game and are hesitant to start the Captured Dreams quest lines. I am waiting on a possible update. Is it safe to start or should i wait? Question: are the cellar coming into use? Thanks for your mods anyway

At this point I don't expect any issues with updating an existing game to the new version. Both the basement of the shop and the Manor will be used in the next version.

At this point I don't expect any issues with updating an existing game to the new version. Both the basement of the shop and the Manor will be used in the next version. Been meaning to ask, barring an actual update of the DD for Him mod prior to you releasing, do you have any plans to include the gear on the male npcs some other way (mesh only ect) for immersion? I removed DDfH from my load order as the store and the older versions of cursed loot were the only times males were likely to get trussed up in my game, but it will be a bit odd if Master doesn't deem the male npcs worthy of a collar at least.
Veladarius Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 I am setting up my items to use the DDfH meshes if they are installed. There was an update posted in the thread for DDfH that fixed most issues with the new version of Assets / Integration and I posted new meshes for the armbinder there that should fix those on men as well. I am doing a lot more to include content for both male and female player characters including dialogue and some scenes with sex specific content.

Nice, I'm just leery of keeping outdated mods around and my understanding was the update in that thread was a short edit that may have missed a few things, so I'll probably still steer clear. My PC is female, so DDfH is only there to support graphical immersion for your mod, and if we can do that with meshes only and no .esp loaded that would be great.

The only things that needed changing was the slots used on some devices, most had a minimal impact but the biggest issue was the change in the armbinders as they also picked up extra keywords.
gooberboy9999 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Don't wait for me to start a new game, the next version will not be available for a while. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
JimmyCow Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Huh, I'm sorry.. I thought all I had to do to buy keys was have the letters? I have no idea how otherwise. I don't have quests or anything left, at least not the radiant ones.
Veladarius Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 The only way to buy keys is if you have a very good relationship with the Master, are a dom and have no items locked on you. If you meet these criteria the Master will sell them to you.

Thanks for your mods anyway If you're looking to avoid the early level dungeons (yet again heh), you can always use console commands to level up to where you want. I do that to boost myself to around lvl 8-10 on a new start, with the perks etc, then dump some money in for equip.
starsnostars Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 A minor request: Place one of those dwemer milking machines (from mod milk economy) somewhere on site - maybe in the dungeon or kitchen of the vip or manor house. An idea (sorry if it's already been suggested): Have your (female) follower restrained and confined at the Captured Dreams shop as a ransom while the pc does errand quests. Maybe the option of selling your follower into permanent servitude to alleviate some of your debt.

So bring back the phrase "Your praise is compensation enough" when she asks what you want, gold ("my aren't you a little mercenary") or removing some restraint. It's immersive. Well it is for me. The milking machine is a good idea, and would be a reward for completing some quest successfully. In my game, milking machines (besides giving milk) pay you. I always felt funny taking money from her. The next part is more fantasy than suggestion, But suppose Kara convinced Player to free her (and a few friends). Player would have to go off and enlist the aid of Ulfric or Elisif. Maybe it would only be a sternly worded letter to be left on Master's nightstand. Kara instead of Erani would be released into the care of Player, and Kara would effectively be free. ********************************* Something that's been bugging me since last night or so is a phrase in the SKSE docs about the Directx SDK being needed for compilation, which made me wonder, "Compilation of what? "For whom?" But I figured it could not hurt to have one. Then I found out 8.1 of windows has no separate SDK for Directx, it must be downloaded as part of a larger package called "Windows SDK". "Fine, whatever", I thought, and downloaded it. If it'll make even one obscure mod run better, I thought, Great. But if I knew what I was speaking about, I wouldn't be asking, "Was this download (windows SDK) Really necessary??" If it is, I should be pleased as hell, I actually read something and made sense of it. Almost.

The 'compilation' they are talking about in SKSE is compiling scripts for Skyrim (most likely, I am on Win7). I'm jealous of Tessa and Nissa. And Maybe De'zra. They either have some heavy-duty backstory about being saved, or they drank 'The Juice', (I'm running out of "or"s), because they seem very happy being under Master's thumb. Even Elenwen teases a lot about being owned and stuff. Well, the only single suggestion or idea, fantasy, immersive thing, I'd wish for, is a satisfying end to the whole slave-thing. Dom's can wish for their own stuff. For example, given an MCM choice, the free-trial seems endless but is actually training the Player's mind to submit. And after endless days and countless begging, Player is released and with text messages, Player is shown to be achingly lonely without the security of the belt. (I hate plugs, but that's a different thing). So Player goes back to the master, ostensibly for a job, and she asks if the player wants the belt. "Yes!" the player says, happily. so 1. Player learns to ask for the belt and go on endless jobs, (repetitive), 2. Player is given some difficult choice relating to freedom vs security and servitude. Ahh, but it's only a game, and it crashes a lot, so nevermind. The immersiveness is elusive. Thanks for all your work.
