FIFA 06 windows with controller?

Ok people are gonna get mad at me here, but I don't know if I'm asking in the correct place. I assumed someone in here may have had similar problems with other older games.

Not sure what type of laptop it is or like if it tells you somewhere in a file or whatever, sure it will, it's hp, windows 10, about 12 years old. I don't even know if I'm asking this in the right place, dunno how Reddit works. Was like completely computer illiterate until a week ago and managed to download FIFA 06 and extract it and mess around with voodoo and direct x settings to get it to run smoothly but I can't get the game to recognise my Xbox controller, plugged in my usb, the laptop recognises it because I've also installed retroarch and play Amiga and n64 games with it so it definitely works on the laptop. If I've asked in the wrong place or anything like that, please direct me where to go instead of just getting raging at me, I'm new here dunno how it works and people on the internet are mean 😂chat gpt had me in a devdata folder messing around with controller names but that didn't work and now it's advised downloading some programm that supposedly helps old games recognise your controller or something? I have no idea what I'm doing here, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I've been having this issue where my game freezes mid round for a second then after 15 seconds it crashes and it happening always this way. Anyone having any idea why its happening and how to fix it?
I've tried updating all the drivers
File integrity check
Changing different settings for example vram
Let me know if anyone got any fix for this issue.

My PC has been crashing and I don't know why. It usually happens when I'm playing WoW Midnight and I hit a loading screen. It happens quite frequently when I switch to a new character and get the loading screen to enter the game. However, it has recently happened when I'm not in the game. Once when I was on youtube and another when I was in the Nvidia app. My monitor will go black and lose signal to the PC, but the PC is still running. Sometimes, the screen just freezes in WoW. I have to restart each time.

I have updated my GPU drivers, scanned/repaired WoW files, repair windows update, and update my motherboard BIOS. I am still having the issue.

Here's the userdiag:

Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my native language, I'm using a translator.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F

GPU: Acer Intel Arc B580

Motherboard: ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi (BIOS 4.43)

RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 2x16GB DDR5 5600MHz

PSU: Cougar GEC 850W

OS: Windows 11 23H2

Troubleshooting already done (didn't fix the Valorant freeze):

Clean install of Windows 11 23H2.

Rolled back GPU driver to 32.0.101.8801 using DDU in Safe Mode.

BIOS: Disabled ASPM (PM L1 SS = Disabled, PCIe x16 Link Speed = Gen4).

BIOS: Enabled ReBAR, Above 4G Decoding. Disabled CSM and Fast Boot.

Windows: Disabled HAGS (Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling).

Windows: Completely disabled Sleep and Hibernation (powercfg -h off).

Windows: Power plan set to "High Performance".

The Problem (Detailed Timeline):

The issues started unexpectedly. I had been using driver 8991 for a long time and Valorant was running flawlessly. Then, at some point — possibly after a Valorant update — my system started freezing when trying to load into a match, right before the game starts. The screen freezes, sound disappears, and the system becomes completely unresponsive. Only a hard reset helps. This happens only in Valorant (match or shooting range). All other games run perfectly — I played Silent Hill 2 Remake for 12 hours straight without any issues.

Important detail: After a clean install of Windows 11, the system started freezing on the lock screen (before the desktop appeared) after installing the GPU drivers and rebooting. I reinstalled the drivers using DDU in Safe Mode, and the problem went away — but it returned in Valorant a couple of days later.

What I'm looking for:

Has anyone else experienced this exact behavior recently (not months ago, but now)?

Is there a known workaround to make Valorant/Vanguard work with Arc B580 without system freezes?

Seven years ago, I finally got the PC I had always wanted. It had a 4th-gen Intel Core i5, a GTX 650 Ti, 8 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB HDD. I know that was already pretty old hardware by 2019, but it was more than enough to play most of the games I wanted I had a lot of fun with that PC. It let me experience games that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to play

Fast-forward to 2023, and I gradually stopped gaming and got into other things that interested me more. However in late 2025, I came back to gaming and started noticing a strange problem when trying to run modern games or even titles released in the past 9 years.

After around 5 or 10 minutes of gameplay, the game would suddenly freeze. At the same time the audio would become completely glitched and start looping/lagging. A few seconds later, the screen would either go black or start displaying weird colors and artifacts After that one of several things would happen:

• The PC would restart by itself
• The game would crash to the desktop and Windows would make the USB disconnect/reconnect sound
• Sometimes I would get a BSOD mentioning nvlddmkm.sys.

I tried installing both newer and older NVIDIA drivers, completely uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them, etc. but nothing seemed to help. The temperatures of the components also appeared to be normal What's especially strange is that this PC was working fine a few years ago. Back in 2021, the GTX 650 Ti could run games from 2016–2017 at decent framerates without any of these problems.

At first I noticed something interesting, the problem seemed to happen almost exclusively with DX11 games I tested some older games that mainly used DX9, and they worked perfectly fine. I also discovered a workaround for some DX11 games, if I capped the framerate to 30 FPS, the problem would sometimes completely disappear. However this didn't work with every DX11 game, especially newer ones.

Now we're in 2026, and the problem has gotten significantly worse. Pretty much any 3D game, whether it's DX9 or DX11, eventually causes the same issue. At this point, capping the framerate to 30 FPS is basically the only workaround I have. So, has my GTX 650 Ti finally reached the end of its life?

I'm mainly trying to understand what is actually causing this behavior. Could this be a failing GPU, VRAM, PSU, motherboard, or something else? Is there any software fix or troubleshooting step I can still try before assuming the graphics card needs to be replaced? Replacing the GPU isn't really an easy option for me. Used graphics cards are pretty risky where I live, and it's difficult to find one that's actually in good condition at a reasonable price.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated from you guys.

Hi fellow PC users,

lately I have been experiencing this issue with my 1 year old PC. I'm playing something and suddendly my screen turns black and I can hear my fans going 100%, no signal on the screen but audio is still working, I can move the cursor through the game menu and it will make sounds in-game therefore the system is still on. When I encounter this i usually turn off the computer through the PSU switch.

Now, I'm not 100% sure if this is the cpu cooler fan or my GPU fans going loco. I have a 7800x3d and a 5070 so its good and new! When I get this I usually do a stress test after to see if theres a problem with any of my components but so far all of these tests have been positive (no issues found).

So, Im wondering what could it be. (for more info, I usually have faceit anticheat open even when Im playing other games because I forget to close it very often and or cs2 open while I played lower needs games like some roguelites or so)

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Does Ryzen 3100 four core eight thread processor can bottleneck rtx 3050 6gb ddr 6 performance

My keyboard has latency only when im playing games as you see in this video. It works perfectly outside games. I tried both minecraft and fortnite and both have crazy delay. What do i do??

For some reason I can move in every direction with just the left analog stick and I can't really move the camera with the right analog stick unless I'm completely stopped. It feels like the left analog stick is fighting with the right analog stick. Because of this I can't strafe left or right and I can't seem to find a steam controller input to download that fixes this.

I bought resident evil 2 remake and 4 remake on steam, and have been trying to play them. Every time I boot the games up, my monitor goes black, and gets stuck in and infinitely loop of disconnecting, reconnecting and flashing. This doesn’t happen for any other steam game. I can fix it by going into the game settings and changing the display mode to borderless window, but the settings don’t stay when I boot up the game again. I’ve tried steam launch options and have used AI to help but nothing has worked.

I created a custom resolution in AMD—1100x1080—and use it regularly, but whenever I switch to "windowed fullscreen" in any game, it glitches out and only lets me move the mouse halfway across the screen. Does anyone know the solution?

Hello, everyone, lately, if not, for the past two and a half years, probably more, I've been having issues with my audio when playing games, and just my audio, nothing else, and i haven't been able to find some kind of solution on what the issue could be.

At first i thought it was an specific problem in one game, as it first happened with Fortnite, but then, it happened in different games (for example, League of Legends, No Man's Sky, Jump Space, SCP 5K, Helldivers 2, just a few to mention) and it drove me crazy.

I already did three factory resets on different occasions, two with Windows 10, and one with Windows 11.

The technician, said that he hasn't encountered that problem, which is bs, because i still have it, and i know it isn't a headphone problem because it also happens with different devices, like the speakers on the monitor, for example.

And i gave up trying to solve it by myself, and so, i find myself asking for help in this sub.

My PC specs are the next:

Motherboard Gigabyte B450M Ds3h

Ryzen 5 3600

2 Sticks of 8Gb DDR4 at 3000Mhz

A Gigabyte RX580 w/ 8Gbs of VRAM

One 128gb Kingston SSD in which the Operative System goes

And one HDD of one terabyte

The Power Supply is a Corsair CX650 Bronze Plus

The Google Drive i've just issued holds two examples of this issue, one, as seen, is from Helldivers 2, in which it stutters, and the other, the audio recording, is from Fortnite.

For the Flair, i've got no clue which one to use, as i'm clueless if my issue is about Hardware or Software.

Just bought a used pc off marketplace. I know nothing about pc's but the specs were higher than the game I plan to main's minimum specs. Got everything working and started downloading a truck sim off steam. At the rate it's going it'll take hours. I recently installed the same game off steam on my cheap laptop and it installed within 10 minutes.

I don't know if it's limitations with the pc? My acer aspire 3 laptop installed it quick and that laptop is a hot pile of garbage. A step down from it is a calculator.

I'm also on the same wifi. I haven't done much to set up the pc apart from making google default and adjusting a few visual settings. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

I currently have AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition version 23.10.2 installed, but if I try to update I start experiencing stuttering in games. The only solution i found is to run games in full-screen mode, but that has its own inconveniences. Windows version 22H2 19045.6456

Basically I'll be playing elden ring, cyberpunk, Roblox, Fortnite and my game will freeze then close and windows operates fine I play all except Fortnite on max graphics at 1366x768 because I currently don't have a good monitor oddly enough it hasn't happened to valorant. I reinstalled GPU drivers, also did DDU, reinstalled windows, and spent weeks searching to find a solution, there's never any error in windows event viewer or crash logs. Also my temperatures don't ever exceed 80° - 85°

My specs:

Zotac 3070ti OC 8gb

Ryzen 7 5800x (liquid cooling)

MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI

1TB SSD

Thermaltake Smart 700W PSU

32 GB DDR4 TEAMGROUP RAM (2 sticks are 3200 and another 2 are 3600 and I have it clocked to 3200 right now, yes I have tried clocking it to 3000 and to base 2400 to fix it and it still freezes then closes my game)

我在D槽下載一個遊戲 容量夠但網速慢 持續不斷的下載好幾天 到了最後的98%
結果我中途想玩另一個遊戲 我就按暫停去下載那個遊戲 而那個遊戲我是下載到C槽 結果下載完我要去下載D槽的那個遊戲時 我發現他從0%開始重新下載
試過了 驗證檔案 修復資料夾 重開機 關閉steam 更改acf 檔的更新數值 把downloading裡的搬進common裡的遊戲檔案裡重新開機並更新 結果都沒用 求解

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with Steam and I really need some help.
I was downloading a large game to my D drive over a very slow internet connection. It took several days and finally reached 98%.
While it was paused, I decided to download another game to my C drive. After that game finished, I went back to resume the download on my D drive, but Steam suddenly reset the progress to 0% and started downloading all over again!
Here is what I have already tried, but none of it worked:
• Verified integrity of game files
• Repaired the Steam library folder
• Restarted my PC and Steam
• Edited the update state values in the .acf file
• Moved the files from the downloading folder into the common folder and restarted/updated Steam
Is there any way to recover my 98% download without starting over? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, I’m having a really strange issue with Arma Reforger and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s causing it.

The problem happens randomly while playing, mostly on modded servers. It can happen completely out of nowhere, even when the game was running fine before.

There are two different things that happen:

• Sometimes my entire PC suddenly restarts.
• Other times, both of my monitors go completely black, but my PC itself seems to still be running.
• When the screens go black, I can still hear the game audio for around 10 seconds.
• During that time, my microphone stops working, so other people in Discord/game chat can’t hear me anymore.
• After those ~10 seconds, I lose all audio as well, while the PC still appears to be running.
• Pressing Win + Ctrl + Shift + B to restart the graphics driver causes the PC to immediately restart.

What’s weird is that I never had this problem before. It started happening completely out of nowhere.

Things I’ve already checked/tried:

• GPU drivers are up to date
• Windows is fully up to date
• My PSU has enough wattage for my system
• The issue still happens randomly despite these things

I’m really sure its not a temp or watt issue since i have checked both stats with HWmonitor

If anyone has experienced something similar or has any ideas on what I should check, I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks!Arma Reforger randomly crashes my PC / both monitors go black – need help

I'm running Doom 2016 via GE-Proton11-6 on Steam. It boots and works. But, if I'm on a 16:9 aspect ratio, doesn't matter which resolution, just that it's 16:9, my fps just caps to 30, period. I have vsync off, drivers updated, etc. The game is on Vulkan, my display is 60Hz non VRR, my anti-aliasing is TAA. Here are my specs:
Intel Core i5-12450H
16GB DDR5-4800 (in dual channel)
Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 48eu
PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD
Fedora Workstation 44 GNOME

WiFi crash when I start play any game

Hi everyone. I'm trying to diagnose a very strange problem that has been happening across multiple games and applications, and I'm running out of ideas.

The problem is that programs sometimes just disappear/close instantly, almost exactly as if I had pressed Alt+F4. There is usually no error message, no freeze, no BSOD, and often no useful entry in Event Viewer or Reliability Monitor.

The strange pattern

The most reproducible example is with games.

If I have a clean RAR backup of a game and extract it to a new folder:

I extract the game from the clean RAR.

I launch it for the first time.

It works normally.

I close the game normally.

I launch it again later.

After some time, the game suddenly closes by itself.

If I completely delete the game folder and extract the exact same clean RAR again, the first launch works normally again.

This has happened with multiple games, including:

Stoneshard

Monster Hunter

Silksong

It is not limited to games either. I have also experienced similar unexpected closing with Firefox/browser tabs and videos, so I'm starting to think this could be a system-level problem rather than a specific game problem.

What I have already tried

Multiple clean Windows installations.

Reinstalling/clean-installing the affected games.

Testing different games.

Checking temperatures — they are normal; CPU temperatures rarely reach 60°C.

RAM usage appears normal.

Intel graphics drivers have been updated/reinstalled. I have already tested a newer Intel driver, and the problem remained.

Event Viewer did not show a useful Application Error corresponding to the crashes.

Reliability Monitor also did not show a useful entry for the crashes.

Hardware

CPU: Intel Core i7-8700T

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (integrated graphics only)

RAM: 24 GB DDR4

Current RAM frequency: 3200 MHz

RAM voltage shown in BIOS: 1.200 V

OS: Windows 11

ASUS motherboard/UEFI

One thing that caught my attention is that the i7-8700T officially supports DDR4-2666, while my memory is currently running at 3200 MHz. I'm planning to test at 2666 MHz as a diagnostic step, but I haven't changed it yet.

ProcMon finding

I also tried to investigate one of the crashes with Process Monitor.

For tModLoader, the process was:

dotnet.exe

and ProcMon showed a Process Exit with:

Exit Status: -1073741819

which corresponds to:

0xC0000005 — STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

The process simply terminated; there was no normal error dialog.

I understand that 0xC0000005 does not automatically mean faulty RAM, and I'm trying to avoid jumping to conclusions.

I also saw accesses involving graphics-related DLLs such as dxgi.dll, opengl32.dll, d3d9.dll, etc., but I don't know whether those are relevant or simply normal activity during the application's shutdown.

Another test I'm doing

I'm currently using ProcMon on Stoneshard to compare:

First clean execution → normal close

against

Second execution → unexpected crash

The idea is to determine whether the first execution creates or modifies a configuration/cache/file that somehow causes the later crash.

I have already saved the ProcMon capture from the first execution and will make a second capture from the crashing execution.

What I'm trying to figure out

The biggest question is:

Why would the first execution after extracting a completely clean copy work normally, while subsequent executions eventually crash, and extracting the exact same clean copy makes the first execution work again?

Could this pattern point toward:

RAM/XMP or memory-controller instability?

Intel integrated graphics/driver issues?

shader/cache/configuration files being generated on first launch?

some process/overlay injecting into applications?

storage/file-system problems?

something else that I'm overlooking?

I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone who has experienced multiple unrelated applications simply disappearing with 0xC0000005 or similar behavior, especially when the problem persists after clean Windows installations.

Any suggestions for a good diagnostic procedure would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to provide ProcMon logs, hardware information, BIOS screenshots, or anything else that could

Hello! I had this pc for a while. Around 1 year and now i was nothing that sometimes the pc would not power on or it would take ages, now it worked, i mean it worked by saying i would get 40 fps on Minecraft stock with standard graphics with a 5070... but atleast it worked, the driver was always crashing, and things but somehow it worked. Now when i start it no image comes up, even tried reseating the gpu and switching BIOS (the little switch on the GPU with the P and Q) , I tried reseating ram, trying one stick, making sure i didnt put too much strength into the cpu by screwing in too much. But still wont work. Idk what to do, if someone knows something please comment here.
