4/2/24, 12:19 AM

4/2/24, 12:20 AM
desktop performance is not noticeably worse than when it
's not running tho
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:20 AM
if it
's related to btrfs
+ HDD then i think we
'll have to recommend HDDs to be formatted to ext4 from now on

tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:22 AM
if either of you report performance issues with the HDD unplugged
/unmounted still let us know
D
Daph
•
4/2/24, 12:22 AM
it
's by no means unbearable
, but bg3 seems to be running at around half the usual framerate
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:23 AM
ok that
's a little bit better
, if the test takes a long time though
T
tryhardsoccermomswag

4/2/24, 12:23 AM

's an issue

4/2/24, 12:24 AM

's at 99
% and the game is only using 40
-50

T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM

D
Daph

4/2/24, 12:25 AM

tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM

D
Daph
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM
nope
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM
okay that sounds better than the
"1 hour
" ive heard previously
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM
so i could be 100
% wrong
D
Daph
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM
yeah definitely
D
Daph
•
4/2/24, 12:25 AM
i was the 1 hour person
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:26 AM
but im taking a guess that a HDD mounted with btrfs is causing it to run much longer
D
Daph
•
4/2/24, 12:26 AM
i
'll have to check if the HDD even uses btrfs
, i don
't remember
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:26 AM
although this isn a guess
T
tryhardsoccermomswag
•
4/2/24, 12:26 AM
oh please do
D
Daph
•
4/2/24, 12:26 AM
