Server Announcments / Re: Our own 7 Days 2 Die server
« Last post by Sandman[SA] on July 05, 2024, 06:29:53 pm »I have FINALLY figured it out! Well, the part about the new traders kicking you out on horde night. You need a trader_teleport entity inside the base grounds. I didn't understand how to use this before. But now I do. It's really interesting how the Devs used this entity block. Placing 10 or more of varying sizes in very strategic places. I assume that it's to prevent players from using exploits and building up against or inside a trader base?
I've tested this on my testing server and it's working perfectly. The new traders will no longer kick you out on horde night when the trader open 24/7 mod is active. Without it, you will get kicked out every night. lol. The next map reset will have the fixed trader bases.

I didn't give that idea much thought, until now. But you're not wrong.
And then again, you could setup a virtual partition on your system to run other OS installs from within windows install. That can be almost just as secure.

Geek / Games Discussion / Re: Windows 11 - Do we want it or can we even handle it?
« Last post by Sandman[SA] on July 05, 2024, 02:06:02 pm »I didn't notice this until later. But when I installed a BIOS update on my 9th gen Intel system, (rom version 2004, and then again with 2101) that it quietly enabled the firmware TPM.
I installed the BIOS updates, then go back to the BIOS after it's completed and reconfigure some personal settings like XMP and my overclock settings and all. I made sure that rebar is on and firmware TPM is off. Then let the computer reboot. The computer then power cycles 3 to 4 times as it goes through memory training. This is a normal process when enabling XMP profiles. It basically unlocks the full advertised speed of your ram. But during that memory training process (both times) firmware TPM and secure boot got re-enabled. Even the main board venders are trying to get everyone ready to install windows 11 if the system can support it.
It was natural to assume that the 13th gen Intel system would have firmware TPM enabled by default. Windows 11 "supposedly" has a better CPU core scheduler than windows 10. And with a CPU that has 16 cores / 24 threads, 8 of which being efficiency cores, that core management is required. I guess that would be nice if the user is concerned about power management? But the fact that windows 10 can manage them just fine, leads me to believe this whole core schedule thing is just another hype train point to make users want to upgrade to windows 11.

So true. But it did provide some temporary pain relief. You know that air mattress is hard on the back.
