I was browsing Goodwill, living the LGR lifestyle, and I spotted this! The drive is there but sadly not the manuals or disks anymore.
Something about the Colorado branding was just cool. Not sure what it was.
So, every year or so Topaz comes out with a new AI model for upscaling and I throw it at the Jedi Knight cutscenes. They just came out with a new one - Starlight Precise - so that's what I did. This model does more AI to fill in the gaps and the results are both good and bad.
I've shared the raw upscales (so 1920x900 with no further processing) here: https://archive.org/details/JKCutscenesSLP for those who want to play with them. The previous upscale with Starlight Mini is also here, someone who wants to mix and match them can probably get the best of both worlds: https://archive.org/details/DF2JKStarlightUpscale
The good: amazing details. The text crawl fades better and looks sharper than ever before.
The bad: the hallucinations. It gave Jerec back his eyes in some scenes! Some other minor issues of putting text in place of textures. Generally speaking this is amazing but not ready for prime time.
I've been using a T14 Gen 1 as my work machine since late 2020 and it's great, but battery life got pretty bad even after putting in a new battery - under 2 hours. I updated to the most recent driver on Lenovo's site and battery life seems about tripled.
Not sure why. And I had to do the installation manually - Windows did not think I needed to change the driver. But once told to do Windows updated the driver perfectly and the results have been great.
Just a FYI if you've been dealing with poor battery life.
I got this at an estate sale today. I've played Republic Commando but I've never heard of merch before. And there's a typo in the copyright notice on the bottom. Is this old e3 swag or something else?
