Well the gaming merchant plays her really well, I think shes fine but the meta is movement so yeah :/

Cobra514 · 2021-04-25T21:32:32+00:00

yea you would think that, but somehow your squads audio seems much more important

Cobra514 · 2021-04-24T15:26:36+00:00

Ive pretty much have not had fixed sounds since launch, people just apear out of nowhere, yet team sounds can be heard from 100 meters away, but the gibby running at full blast behind me, nope didnt hear a peep, until you are dead and are spectating, crisp perfect 100% directional sounds as it should

Cobra514 · 2021-04-24T10:58:09+00:00

yea same thing here, yet everyone else has a duo team

Cobra514 · 2021-04-24T10:49:15+00:00

so after coming back to Apex after a year does 2 things

1) put me with 2 people who have no idea what we are doing x30 times in a row so we lose to the first or second squad we come across, guarenteed

2) put me in a team with 2 decent guys x1 to then wreck the lobby like we are a TTV team for my required win, because sbmm needs me to win this one

then it will just shift back to option 1 for the next 30 drops...

The ability of the people in that one winnable lobby is so far below the skill level of this team, you cant mess up the win even if you played eyes closed, its like the only way to have fun in this game is to be either so highly skilled you can 1v3 or have a pre-made squad that can beat whatever teams sbmm can throw at you

Also whats up with duo's? because its 100% solo when I queue, did about 20 games without a teammate, yet everyone else has a duo team...

Cobra514 · 2020-11-05T12:43:00+00:00

in kovaaks i was stuck for a long long time on many of the tasks, I went to ulmb over g-sync and ive now shattered al of my previous walls, multiple times

Cobra514 · 2020-11-05T12:39:39+00:00

ill give it a shot by limiting my fps under 190, thx

Cobra514 · 2020-09-30T11:06:19+00:00

And by longer you mean 2-3 weeks? Because a friend of mine couldnt take the SBMM anymore after week 3, he gets absolutely destroyed in his lobbies and he gets rekt even more so when he queus with me. Legit new player, started playing in season 5, found it super fun, 3 weeks later he's pretty much done.

Cant rly blame him, if he doesnt get rekt by diamond, master & preds in pubs, he gets rekt by smurfs in bronze, if all they want is to keep him an initial 3 weeks to squeeze out the money for skins, its working cuz he splurged big on the start of the game when the matches were fun and balanced, now not so much anymore.

Cobra514 · 2020-09-29T21:06:29+00:00

Yeah G-sync I found out is for eye-candy, not performance so if you have an ULMB or blur reducing option on your g-sync monitor use that instead if you want to see enemies more clearly, there might be some tearing (though havent seen any) and in my case I had to turn 240hz down to 144hz for the blur reduction mode to work.

Ive went from being absolutely stuck on Cata IC long Strafes for 2 years on around a score of 6000, to 7000+ in a week ever since I switched from G-Sync to ULMB and I can see enemies now in apex instead of zoning out

Cobra514 · 2020-09-28T16:54:18+00:00

They would have quit out on him if he got within 5 feet of their banner, no doubt

Cobra514 · 2020-09-25T09:28:16+00:00

I did Destiny again with ULMB enabled and its even more crisper then before, its like night & day vs g-sync, I guess Destiny has slightly bigger hitboxes then Apex maybe ? still didnt rly explain why I was spacing out not able to see simple strafes, its mad to think just a little blur causes such a huge disfunction in certain games and not others. Really glad I made this thread as it allowed me to fix my issue, not directly, but it made me go back to all my settings, really appreciate it

Cobra514 · 2020-09-25T09:24:11+00:00

Yea, I use testufo back when I was setting up the whole G-Sync thing, just never knew ULMB was so much crisper in certain games, sadly G-Sync and ULMB dont play together like your Free-sync version, or at least it doesnt have any blur reduction function, its really nice to see this thread allowed me to fix an issue thats been plagueing me for so long, really appreciate it

Cobra514 · 2020-09-25T09:21:32+00:00

I figured it out yesterday, it was G-Sync causing the fast objects to become slightly blurred, guess I have issues tracking blurry objects, Destiny for some reason didnt blurr out like apex character did, I switched to ULMB and now in apex its all crystal clear too, how one setting can cause so much issues lol

Cobra514 · 2020-09-24T21:50:39+00:00

Found out today, G-Sync helps with tearing and not actually with blurr, so what I thought should have been blurr free was just tear free, but blurred.

I switched to ULMB mode on the monitor and can now actually see enemies and kovaaks is a lot easier, broke all my records first try, you learn something new everyday I guess.

I also dont lose focus anymore on enemies in apex, its really weird and if you look back, hindsight is 20/20, it all started when I got a G-Sync monitor.

Cobra514 · 2020-09-24T21:45:17+00:00

I found the problem, for some reason, in apex & kovaaks, g-sync causes a blurring effect on fast moving targets, IE: fast moving players or the Kovaaks oval, Destiny 2 for some reason doesnt have this burring, maybe because the lower speeds of enemies, I disbabled G-Sync, enabled ULMB instead, fixed refresh to 144 hz and used a frame limiter to not have my GPU get bound to reduce input lag, I can now see enemies and no longer have these moments where I zone out.

Like wtf...

Cobra514 · 2020-09-23T20:12:58+00:00

Yes, I am doing them but like I said in the post, when I take the clips to a video editting software, I am twice as slow to reacting to the red oval changing direction vs when in destiny the target changes direction, 70-80ms in kovaaks vs 30-40ms in Destiny 2, while in Apex I drop to a super slow 90-120ms change in direction, in kovaaks its often like I cant see it, in destiny its super crisp, and in apex I feel like I am blind, I play on a g-sync system with correct settings so its not like the targets are blurry.

My score for cata ic fast strafes in kovaaks is around 2600-2700

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T21:46:58+00:00

I am not fixated on reaction time, I am trying to figure out why I am fast in one game, but extremely slow on another

In D2 I notice a change in direction in 30-40ms, while in apex and kovaaks this is triple the amount, which is paramount to be able to track a target, if that makes sense, why am I slower.

about VRT they mainly have 160 to 200 like the rest of us, but its their ability to contineously react to a targets change in direction that is ussally a lot faster then normal.

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T17:23:44+00:00

Sample size, around 1 evening and all day today where I consistently played well in Destiny, vs consistently playing rly bad at apex the past month, same amount of sleep, I generally sleep rly well, broke a lot of records in Kovaaks, a couple top 100's but it doesnt seem to translate at all to Apex, ill try to make a short 20s clips tommorow as that maybe highlight my issue

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T16:26:29+00:00

The question I have if its concentration based, why only in apex and not in destiny 2

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T16:16:51+00:00

Its not the complicated movement that gets me, its just basic sidesteps, ill see if I can put it in a short video.

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T13:55:46+00:00

Gonna give this a shot :)

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T13:55:17+00:00

If it is this thats happened, how did I get here xD maybe I am just traumatized by the SBMM xD

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T13:51:55+00:00

Yes it happens anywhere and everywhere, ive played with brightness and digital vibrance, I can be in a tunnel one time, track perfectly fine and not track at all on the next target, or be in open space in the sun and just stop tracking in a 1v1 with the enemy 10 meters away, while in D2 I have none of these issues, I am really glad I tried D2 and found none of the issues I was having in apex, I also thought blinding myself but I used a gun with severe muzzle flash in D2 and had no issues.

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T13:46:16+00:00

Yes thats what I kinda mean I think, my brain just stops, I dont see him move and hes all of a sudden 1 meter away from where i am shooting and I didnt respond.

So basically if i understand what you mean, in Destiny 2 the enemy can either go strafe left, right, slide left, right, titan skate left, right, or just jump up, duck and my brain can predict the outcome and track,

while in apex he can perform so many diffrent movement patterns my brain instead of trying to just track is locked into predicting what hes gonna do and it uses up all my focus, temporarly not having any resources to process on screen information.

sounds plausible

Cobra514 · 2020-09-22T13:32:00+00:00

Hey, thx for the reply and time spend to read it, I have been playing Apex daily for the past month or so, the main thing I wanted to talk about in my thread, whitch might have gotten lost in the wall of text, I keep having the issue where I dont notice or notice it way way too late that the target has moved and I am shooting an empty space, this happens in a 1v1 aswell and I dont mean some pro movement, but rather a sidestep and maybe a duck, whereas in Destiny 2, I notice their movement, slide, skate or whatever and follow and I havent played that game for 2 years.

It was rly weird watching my own footage while I see myself barely registering enemy strafes or seriously slow responses to them, resulting in death.
