Thanks @puzzlezaddict it's reassuring to know the refresh rate is fine at 144. Also I didn't know the game could be run without Steam running as well. Will make sure to look for the exe files with a W and save to desktop.
I checked the device config this morning and the lines you listed are similar to mine, and the first 3 numbers are 5, 4 and 4 with the other numbers a bit higher so I think it's ok.
Decided to uninstall TS3 and all its packs in one fell swoop via settings (uninstall page) and in an instant they were gone. restarted downloading from scratch, should be done by 9pm tonight hopefully. Working the next 2 days so will try to get it up and running asap, practically salivating here lol.
Thanks again for your help. :smile:
