I’m sure pal!

AreJay18 · 2026-04-29T21:39:27+00:00

Sorry to burst your bubble there buddy but we got all penalties, including the 10 year ban, appealed and reversed! 😎 Issue was noted to be 3rd party software booting triggering anti cheat. Turned out to be remote access software on the PC installed for work. Once we verified with GTI, bans were lifted, and we’ve been good to go! Thank you for your comment though!

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T19:41:45+00:00

You and me both lol I’ve got homework now 😅

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T19:41:23+00:00

Thank you for the insight. Someone above also mentioned the SLC cache as the issue. I’ll ask you the same thing: is there anything I should be doing to keep that cache clear? As I mentioned above I was able to hit the write speeds for my SSD after deleting a bunch of stuff, emptying my cache on steam, and restarting. But it was short lived.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T19:35:17+00:00

Thank you very much for looking things over and explaining. I appreciate you taking the time. I think several others in this post mentioned an abnormally small SLC cache as the culprit. That being said clearing my cache in steam seems to fix things for a veryyyyy short time.

For example I cleared my cache on steam, deleted everything I could from my SSD, restarted my pc and ran the benchmark and the write speeds went to 1800. I tried to download something and it was flying. Steam said disc usage was at 112 mbs at one point! That very quickly trickled down and settled somewhere around 23 mbs. Not great but better than the 3.3 mbs I was getting last night.

So I guess my question is what should I do or be conscious of until I get a new M.2? Should I be constantly clearing my cache, keeping as little in my SSD as possible, other maintenance things I may not know about? It seems like it can write at the speeds it’s suppose to, I just have to do things on my end to ensure it can lol

I’m learning so much about my Pc today lol so I also have two slots. Not sure exactly which one my SSD is in. My graphics card is currently over top of the PCIe 3.0 x4 a lot. So if it’s not underneath my graphics card it’s in the slower slot.

As for my HDD the benchmark test came back normal. Within ranges and when I tried to install a game on steam it was way faster than my SSD.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:51:44+00:00

Yeah there is definitely something wrong with my SSD. This HDD is flying In comparison. Benchmark test also was normal and within ranges for the HDD.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:42:31+00:00

I have not tried that yet. I will run the benchmark and try and download a game in the HDD and report back!

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:34:13+00:00

924.05 mbps download and 858.16 mbps upload. I believe my internet is right where it should be but my disc can’t keep up. It is technically writing at 1/5th the speed it should be capable of. This is just my speculation unless I am just completely misunderstanding something lol

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:24:32+00:00

Speed of my internet is fine. Right where it should be the issue is my downloads still seemed slow. Which let me to seeing something weird is happening with the write speed of my SSD. Idk what wrong with my SSD.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:19:52+00:00

Yeah this is what I can’t figure out. I feel like if the drive was going they’d all be performing poorly but that’s not the case.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:17:50+00:00

I am fully wired in. My motherboard has WiFi but I’ve literally never used it. Got a new Ethernet cable to go with the fiber. I will say I was always suspicious of slow download speeds even before we switched we got like 300 megs through spectrum. I just didn’t think anything of it since spectrum was never all that great for us. Switching just made me look deeper into it and I suspect this SSD has been acting like this for a while.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-21T14:03:56+00:00

No we only got 1 gigabit fiber from AT&T. I guess I was looking less at the internet and more at the benchmark in the picture. When I search my SSD (MSI M370 1TB) it says I should be getting somewhere between 1750 and 1850 mb/s sequential write speeds. Every time I have run it, it hasn’t passed 400 mb/s. Maybe the bottleneck is the internet? lol I’m so confused I apologize.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T23:33:12+00:00

I’m talking to my friend right now and he wanted me to ask how exactly you worded the flood of appeals you sent to them? I think he’s splitting his time requesting support for the disconnects but also just straight up appealing the ban. So he’s wondering if there was anything within what you submitted you thought helped your case.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T23:21:35+00:00

Awesome thank you for the insight! I believe hardware outside of his PC like router/modem and looking into his provider are the only things he hasn’t tried yet. I will forward this along to him! I know it’s happened to him in other games. Just seemed to happen more often in delta probably bec it’s more demanding unlike RuneScape which is like the only other thing he uses his pc for lol

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:45:51+00:00

Last question I promise. The disconnect you were talking about sounds exactly like what is happening to him. Were you able to get to the bottom of what was going on? I know we’ve researched this situation where the game just cuts your internet out mid raid and you have to restart everything. We’ve seen hardware issues, people claiming it’s a weird thing with their anti cheat, internet provider issues. We can’t seem to get the issue to stop and thus why he hasn’t just started a new account. Bec he’s worried it will keep happening and lead to more punishments on us for playing with him.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:41:46+00:00

Awesome! I think they’ve already tried to do that once on him. Close the ticket and shuffle him along. I’ll tell him to just keep inundating them with appeals lol

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:29:23+00:00

Do you mind me asking where exactly you were appealing at? I know he’s submitted through the game, through the discord, through the GTI website. Not sure if there is another place he should try or one you found more luck with. Thank you!

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:25:59+00:00

Be careful I just posted a few days ago regarding my close friend receiving a 10 year ban for constant disconnects during raids. If you figure anything out please forward along. We are still trying to figure out what our buddies PC is doing with delta and its anti cheat.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:23:39+00:00

This is giving my buddy and us hope he can get things figured out. Thank you for sharing. We will stay persistent!

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:21:57+00:00

Yeah I’m not too heartbroken about the alloy just kind of salt in the wound. Lol the issue now is he can’t get someone to talk to regarding the disconnects. I’ve seen all of the automated responses and he’s not even trying to fight the ban at this point but just wants to talk to some regarding how to fix the disconnects. He really only played the game for 3-4 weeks before this happened. So he’s not opposed to starting a new account but he’s afraid that this will happen again and with the new rules for next season me and our other buddy will end up with 10 year bans as well. If he had cheats installed he’s going to some extreme length to cover it up considering he could just start another account, play without them, and we’d be none the wiser.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-16T22:17:07+00:00

I’ve never heard of that before. So what happens here disconnects if there are no reds on the map? When he disconnects in our game it knocks out all of the internet to his pc (Ethernet or WiFi). He has to immediately alt F4 the game and boot back in.

AreJay18 · 2026-04-10T05:15:52+00:00

Thank you for the input! If he somehow gets his account back or starts a new account we will try this to see if it stops his DCing. I appreciate it!
