This month's members only update is for everyone. That's because my PC is having a few (lots of) random issues. The image for this month highlights one of the problems I'm encountering. If you watched the last TSW3 live stream or VoD, you probably guessed I was in for a rough time. If you didn't, it ended with a BSOD (blue screen of death). At first I thought it was thermals, but recent issues have been during low ambient temperatures, and monitoring shows both CPU and GPU running well below spec and lower than average. I'll continue monitoring and running various diagnostic tools, but nothing is jumping out as the culprit yet.
So, with that in mind - I don't have anything concrete planned. If I do manage to get the system stable again I'll continue recording Railway Empire 2 and try a few live streams. I have noticed low demand games are fine, so things like Rail Route would be an option, but games that are vulnerable to crashing - crash.
I was planning on building a new PC this month, so the timing for the old one to start acting up is a little off - but at least not far off my planned upgrade. I'll be waiting on the launch of the 14th gen (13th gen refresh - or 13.5?) Intel CPU, that way I'll have a better idea on my build.
I finally want to thank you all for making this build possible. All of our members, everyone with YouTube Premium, those who watch (cope with) the ads and everyone who's donated via super chat and super comments. With your help I'm able to spend without worry and get back up and running ASAP.
Here's to no DOA parts, and hopefully have it up and running in time for Skylines 2, and I'll finally get to play TSW4 with you guys. I bought the deluxe (or whatever) edition to play it early, and my PC said no.

September's Delayed Update
