Sorry for you, but how the fuck did you get like that ? If you aren’t massively exaggerating, that sounds super un healthy and a massive mental issue. What can possibly make it become like that?

After some tweaking of settings, games runs fine. I shouldn’t HAVE to do those things, but it’s doing fine now

For reference, 3700x, rtx 2070s. Game heavily gpu bound. 50-60fps, no lag, no stutter , no whatever, honestly I never noticed losing a couple of fps, and that’s just in crowded cities/areas, in other place it’ll go higher.

What I did :

• update drivers
• installed free dlss mod from nexus
• most setting on medium, render scale 50%, shadows on low

After doing this, everything has been 100% fine and never had any other issues. Before, I sometimes had slideshow in new Atlantis, heavy stutter, occasionnal massive fps drops. But these 3 things have 100% resolved my issues entirely

I’ve spent countless hours on reddit on the reddit sync

I used lemmy fairly little because on mobile, the experience wasn’t great.

Glad it’s back. I’ll probably be more active because of it ngl.

Not OP, but i often watch yt on my smart TV. And my gf has an iPhone. I don’t think there are easy solutions for this. So, hard no anyway

I don’t have to bother with ads on desktop, TV, phone, nor on my gf’s devices. I don’t have to find work around, use sideloaded apps or whatever. And youtube is by far and wide my most watched platform, has been for years.

It also includes youtube music, which has been my exclusive music platforms, either to play during work, household chores, on my phone or on my Google home, or in the car.

To me, it’s not even a question if it’s worth it. If anything, it’s my Netflix, crunchyroll, hidive subs that I should drop. They are replaced way more easily

If you are willing to pay… then why not yt premium ? A cut goes to google, sure, but it goes to creators, based on your watch time, without falling into having to support 1-infinite channels etc. Plus no ads without any tricks
