Yeah I take it like someone already brought it up it probably has to do with the intel HD graphics not being enabled as Physx provider. Will look into that when @ home.

Yes & No, you'll either get a quick answer or your question will just shoot up the list and never get a response because people have jumped in behind you. As a replacement of IRC it's fine, for support i've always found it far worse than a forum system. G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron
May 23, 20224 yr Discord is a cool place to hang out however, it is not a support forum. Fenix needs a support forum. Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom

Facilitates friendly chats that don't need permanent records, and current event coordination such as cross country group flights. No one criticizes a Chevy Malibu for being a lousy boat. The problem is that Discord is being used as a forum replacement, which is dumb because it's not designed to do that. Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light
May 23, 20224 yr Author Sooooooooo I verified my account on Discord anyway LOL I couldn't help myself. I just need to be able to joing the discussions over there, ask some questions and also answer a few. 😉 A forum would still be great though. 😉

Yeah, I decided to NOT jump back to where I left a few hours ago because I'd go crazy. I simply login and check the last two or three 'screens' (which at this moment is something like all messages from the last 5 minutes LOL) and then answer what needs answering, ask what needs to be asked and then move on. Once you've accepted it's not a forum but more like a real time chatbox it can be fun haning around. Give me something to do while waiting for PayPal to become available. 😉
May 23, 20224 yr Discord is a glorified chat room like AOL back in the 90s but on steroids. I've held my nose and started using it more the past couple of days and it is a great place to get an answer to a question quickly and it's also a great place to see that same answer given to the same question over and over again in the span of a few minutes.

Now, the same confusing mess it's back with a new name and interface and renewed hype, and those that weren't there in the 90s, assume it's something "new", when it isn't. It's a CHAT system, not a forum. Edited May 23, 20224 yr by virtuali Umberto Colapicchioni http://www.fsdreamteam.com FSDT on Facebook

May 23, 20224 yr ' Avsim folk hate new tech ' is a major generalisation imo. There is more than enough room for fast 'talk sites' and traditional forums as they serve different purposes to a degree. In audio there are tons of sites on twitch, discord .... and so on and yet "gearspace" the audio equivalent of Avsim is still growing in numbers a lot. Edited May 23, 20224 yr by icewater5
