Can anyone explain to me how come that after reducing the update to 1/3 of the day instead of half a day, it's still takes around 5 months every time?
OK, In all honesty, you could read all 3705 pages previous to this and not have an answer. You have an excellent question to which we can only, each and every one of us, provide a personal answer. Is your answer correct? Only L&P knows.

All I have to say is that I was right..............
Sam does indeed give Sophia a lift home, so will Liam ruin everything by calling Sophia :LOL:or will Sophia be able to cop a feel before he does call?
I'm surprised: you are the romantic type! :)
I think L&P will let Sam get as far on this day as at the other events on that day. For me that means bare breasts and, as with Aiden, only voluntarily, a little breast massage. We cannot expect more whether Liam calls or not.
I'm not interested in the Sam / Sophia romantic route. I mean a romantic route ?! How many other games are there that follow such a path. For me, the Sam / Sophia route is like the Good-Wife route at the moment. I know that some people are looking forward to it, but for me this is totally boring at the moment.
Even the second romantic route, Alyssa / Sophia, is more interesting. Alyssa will bring a suitcase full of add-ons for Antonio from her business trip.
The reason why I haven't given up on the Sam route is, on the one hand, the question of whether Sam still proves himself to be the true son of his father. Also how L&P wants to tell the situation when Dylan and Sam realize that they have a relationship with each other's mother and when there is no Dylan / amber relationship, how the situation develops when Liam / Dylan / Elli about the love between Sophia and Sam experienced (Elli will probably not be a problem).

However, If this is a real Biker bar! This will be very bad when Sophia walks in in that dress/Romper. Think Hell's Angels! Patricia does not have the Deagle (even if she did they would not be phased just pissed) and mace/pepper spray would make them laugh. And NO @Sabertooth_ no amount of skill would make those teenagers acceptable in that type of bar. Nor would the owner of a real biker bar insult his clientele with a teenage band. They would not be allowed because what is going down in there is usually not very legal to start with.

One can hope this is a wanna be bar. The funny part would be if Liam's boss is one of the Wanna Bees. A totally different 'out of hand' could ensue. Or, as I have said, this is just another bar in the area and we have not seen the real bar. In this case it makes this whole scene L&P having fun with us. I get it and enjoy that. A little jerk on our chain. This would be my kind of Spoiler, a fake one.

NO SPOILERS!
hi, is the biker bar part of the game? when is it, i missed it.

Let me have a guess at this. It doesn't matter if I'm completely off the mark, because by the time the update comes out this will be totally forgotten. I've previously had a lot to say about the event because I was looking forward to it. So, we know from the "blur" that the sisters dance provocatively & of course they have an eager audience. Chanting, or some associated factor leads to Patricia showing Sophia's mutant twins, e.g. with a pull down of the shoulder straps, to a by now rampant crowd. It could be one of the men that does this but I'll stick with the innate exhibitionist factor.

All hell breaks loose, at which point various things occur rapidly, so much that it has to be transferred to a DLC. As the sisters argue &/or adjust their clothing & go their separate ways the concert ends in confusion. Sam goes to check on Sophia, etc. Maybe the police are present but it ends with the lift from Sam. As for Liam phoning, based on Dev prior form, I estimate he'll do this just as things are getting interesting.

I fervently hope most of the above is wrong, wrong, wrong. Time will tell.....hopefully.
I can imagine this, Pat exposing Sophia's breast (or tries to idk) and Sam while playing sees this and is briefly distracted but plays anyway, yada yada yada they are in the car and because of whatever reason (idk because Sophia kinda likes Sam, and has at least one drink, remember the pool event where she drinks wine?) she lets Sam see her breast and he may even get a touch.

Boom

Liam the Cuck calls.

It has been hinted at that even though Aiden acts like a cheap hood and a punk he indeed has a classical education and a sense of humor. His intention is to put Sofia through 12 labors like Heracles. Why he chose to do this is anybody's guess, but how far he is going to be able to mirror the tasks is unclear since most of them were things like murder, theft, and dognapping. However, there are going to be some convenient stables for her to clean if he goes that route.

The 12 labors:

Slay the Nemean lion.
Slay the nine-headed Lernaean Hydra.
Capture the Ceryneian Hind.
Capture the Erymanthian Boar.
Clean the Augean stables in a single day.
Slay the Stymphalian birds.
Capture the Cretan Bull.
Steal the Mares of Diomedes.
Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons.
Obtain the cattle of the three-bodied giant Geryon.
Steal three of the golden apples of the Hesperides.
Capture and bring back Cerberus.
Thanks mate

First of all, dear friend, thank you for your respectful response to me.

Secondly, let me explain how I see the situation with video cards.
It is somewhat strange to me that you and some others do not allow the idea that L&P uses both video cards from the moment it announced this. It uses them and simultaneously performs two processing operations. In the case of processing a complex scene, with a large number of participants, etc., he combined the power of two video cards to work on one render. This is how I understood his message about combining two video cards to work on event raiders in a bar. But not in such a way as if he had used only one up to this point.
There's no reason to drop 2/3/4 well linked cards and only use 1. If you get that working correctly you make sure you don't touch anything as that improves your render times by a lot (we're talking sub 4 min rendering 1080p with lots of detail) and you can create scenes much easier/faster/with more fluidity which DAZ has already helped this year with the introduction of Filament (PBR) mode.

If I can render a 4k render in a round 20 minutes and L&P cards are at least twice as powerful as my 3070ti it makes no sense to me.
Scene Creation is the killer here
Im running 1 3090 and scene creation/rendering is easy peasy. Just use Filament and then turn on Iray when its almost complete.
I might buy a couple more 3090s just for the heck of it and try it out.

This is not what he did.
Looks like you don't understand what NVLink did in this case.
In his case he had to use NVLink to link two of his GPUs together to increase the usable amount of vram because the 24 GB of VRAM wasn't enough for this scene.
NVLink made it possible to add the vram of two GPUs together to be used for that scene.
To make it a bit more simple, NVLink made it so that those two GPUs acted like one single big one for rendering purposes instead of two separate ones.

Edit:
To explain it a bit more.
If you have three GPUs with 24 GB VRAM each you might think that you have 72 GB of usable VRAM for rendering purposes but that's wrong.
You only have 24 GB because for each card to be able to work on the same scene the same data has to be inside the VRAM of each GPU meaning that if a scene takes up 12.4 GB of VRAM then all three of your GPUs have that 12.4 GB scene in their VRAM and the only way to circumvent that limitation in this case is NVLink.
Disadvantage is that if you only have three 3090s then only the two GPUs linked via NVLink can work on that scene.
You would need four 3090s and two NVLink bridges to be able to use all four GPUs for scenes needing more than 24 GB.

Edit2:
Here is a link to see how much VRAM is roughly needed for Gen 8 figures (tl;dw 14 models 17.8 GB VRAM)
But keep in mind that the scene in the video is very simple so a more complex scene also means higher VRAM usage.
I do understand what NVLink does, maybe you didn't understand my point. Check the post directly above yours from another poster.

As KillJoys said, it's most likely the CS part that is eating up most of the time. But that is due to how many characters, event locations, placement, etc. But his rendering usually takes 5 or 6 days after his CS percent moves up. If he was using both GFX he could reduce that time even further.
We talked about that plenty of times, rendering % goes up alone, so does cs %, they never go up together.

Speaking of that, I don't care that much about those %s, I think they are bogus. A guy that makes an average of 5 renders a day has no reason to not let his computer batch rendering those 5 scenes overnight so he has 100% rendered every day. Makes no sense.
