    NVIDIA overlay prevents display sleep with joystick plugged in: I fixed it!

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 02:28 PM PST

    I've tried to post a link to the writeup before but I think it was auto-removed as blogspam. Sorry if that was a faux-pas. I just hope NVIDIA sees this and fixes it properly.

    Like in the title. NVIDIA's had this bug with GeForce Experience for 3 or more years now, it happens if you have a joystick plugged in. People have basically had to choose to either turn the overlay off, or unplug their joysticks every time. So I got annoyed and decided to fix it myself.

    The fix is pretty simple to apply:

    1. Disable the GeForce Experience overlay while we apply the patch. [img]
    2. Open PowerShell as an Administrator (you need to be able to write to GFE's directory):
      • Hit Winkey+R, type powershell and press CTRL+SHIFT+Enter.
      • OR hit the Start menu, begin typing powershell, right click on Windows PowerShell and click Run as administrator.
    3. Run the following script:

      ## Make sure NVIDIA GeForce Experience overlay is disabled before running this script. ## PowerShell should be started as Administrator. ## This was tested against GeForce Experience: ## - 3.20.5.70 ## - 3.20.5.83 $path = Split-Path ((Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GeForceExperience\Shell\Open\Command).'(default)' -replace '"',"") $file = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$path\libcef.dll") $offset = 0x61e0ae8 if($file[$offset] -eq 4 -and $file[$offset+2] -eq 5 -and $file[$offset+4] -eq 8) { Stop-Process -Name "NVIDIA GeForce Experience" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Stop-Process -Name "NVIDIA Share" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("$path\libcef.dll.bak", $file) $file[$offset] = 6 # Replace usage 0x04 (Joystick) with keyboard $file[$offset+2] = 6 # Replace usage 0x05 (Gamepad) with keyboard $file[$offset+4] = 6 # Replace usage 0x08 (Multi-axis Controller) with keyboard [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("$path\libcef.dll", $file) } else { Write-Output "Your libcef.dll doesn't seem to match the version this file was tested against." } 
    4. Re-enable GeForce Experience overlay.

    If you want to know why this particular byte in this particular file, I've written up how I debugged the issue here: https://details-of-note.blogspot.com/2020/12/nvidia-3-year-old-bug.html

    Until NVIDIA issues a patch, I will try to keep the patching script up to date here: https://github.com/nuzayets/rawinput-debug

    edit: Updated to patch usage IDs for Gamepad and Multi-axis Controller as well, for PlayStation controllers and other devices

    Are consoles on 7nm strangling the PC market?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 10:36 AM PST

    Previous console releases were a node or two behind the bleeding edge computer CPUs and GPUs of their day.

    Going a fair ways back, this is the first time game consoles are competing with high end PCs for silicon manufacturing.

    Could it be that PS5 and Xbox Series X production on 7nm is muscling out AMD Ryzen and RDNA2 capacity? Did the competition for this capacity force Nvidia to use Samsung 8nm who could never meet their demand?

    Is PC being strangled by huge numbers of consoles eating up 7nm capacity? Is this an unavoidable problem for any future console release on bleed edge nodes?
