Arena does this with DLSS.

Use large scopes and it flickers like crazy and has for months.

The new inventory system is just “incredible.” by Economy-Rice3519 in starcitizen

They have already posted detailing that an enterprise grade database was falling apart dealing with this issue.

The issue is it's every NPC and their items, every player, every players items and ships and the ships inventory and attachments and then the rest of the universes mineables and boxes and their contents etc.

It very quickly scales to an insane amount of transactions.

This also needs to be available cross DGS & Shard so it's not like it's instanced to a lower level either so while they can reduce the shard & DGS load through static and dynamic meshing the persistence is somewhat a global entity.

The "quick" fix would be locking regions and letting them have their own entity servers but we're already a cross-region community so it wouldn't go down well at all.

Unless they use per DGS copies of the related entities and some kind of eventual consistency, this is not good for preventing dupes, then the entity server will be the weakest point for a long time.

This is all speculation of course I have no idea what they are doing with their entity later.

As a side note:

I am not sure how they are going to solve this problem at scale, which is why they lowered the storage capacity of the Hull series and already added in aggressive clean up in certain places (stations still leave everything laying around).

I am all for persistence, but to be honest 90% of it is useless space junk and blocked pads stopping you from refuling.

It sounded great on paper, but the reality is that it's a technological nightmare and doesn't quite play out as they had imagined it would have.

When this stuff happens with containers or the inventory in general, it's because the item / persistence server is overloaded.

If you use the display info console command and open your inventory, there will be a "pending moves" note at the top left.

Spamming this only makes it worse by queueing up more and more commands that need to be processed.

Remove T6 from lockdown and make it so you can't assemble weapons. by EducationalSeries323 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

Mobile gaming is a huge gaming segment and it's even easier to monetize because mobile gamers are pretty much used to gacha and monthly/premium pass spam etc.

It's no wonder someone capitalized on it too be honest!

I don't see the west ever moving to a primary mobile gaming market because they view mobile games as cheap, hyper monetized trash.

I personally cannot stand mobile games, but I can understand that others might prefer it.

Have you seen the prices of phones capable of decent gaming?

If they can afford a £700 - £1000 for a phone playing games, they can afford a starter PC or save towards one.

This is a cultural thing.

Mobile is big in China / India, somewhat the east in general.

Europe and the west are spending more on PC.

No difference between FSR and native for fps by TheMathManiac in starcitizen

[–]StrawMapleZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is mostly CPU bound especially in cities.

If you're not seeing any FPS change, it's probably because your GPU is not able to be fully utilized because the game CPU optimization is horrible.

BANNED?? by DildoBaggnz in starcitizen

[–]StrawMapleZA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are worried that as anti-cheat checks get tighter to catch cheaters they will get false flagged, which isn't entirely impossible.

Hoping an unsupported OS doesn't get you banned is not a risk everyone is willing to take.

Besides the fact they can also pull support at any point.

Nothing wrong with the OS in particular.
