   VALORANT — Purchase went through but nothing was credited

   Only partly related, but the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

   Thermal paste reapplication — how much did it help?

   Depends on your setup, but broadly region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

   Combat depth after twenty hours — follow-up

   Worth checking first: verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

   Photo mode shots from the rooftops (still unresolved)

   I want to get ahead of this before it becomes a habit. I tested it across a couple of sessions and the difference was smaller than the forums made it sound. The difference only becomes obvious once you look at the frame times rather than the average. I will report back once I have tested it properly.

   Stutter on shader compilation — what actually fixes it

   Quick one for the people who have put more hours into this than me. Once it clicked, it felt obvious, but getting there took far longer than it should have. Will update the post if I find a cleaner solution.

   Auto-battle versus manual for hard content — second attempt

   Slightly different take — it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

   Genshin Impact — Which genre have you completely written off?

   From experience, this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong. Others may have a cleaner method.

   [Zenless Zone Zero] Save file corrupted — anything recoverable?

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

   War Thunder — Ticket open for two weeks with no reply

   Agreed on most of this, except it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

    Clan boss stuck at Hard — what am I missing?

    Depends on your setup, but broadly ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.
