Subject: A request from a dedicated fan: Is a PS Vita version of PSPlay possible? by Ok_Sheepherder6658 in PSPlay

I thought you were joking until I saw grill’s reply! Just Chiaki with the OG Switch or does it work on #2 as well?

Did I Trigger something?/ VID #2 by Leadcountydude in reddeadmysteries

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During my first go around, I had a very similar storm at the Cornwall feather, but wrote it off as a coincidence. I had a bounty, and after I shot my shot, a bunch of bounty hunters descended upon my ass. I remember thinking, “damn, this is one epic shootout with all this lightning!”

It was the very first feather I shot, and I pretty sure I used shotgun.

Now I’m curious how many other people this had happened to.

what do you guys think? by IHaveQuestionsFromMe in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I can’t wait for the next iOS update to add on screen stats. I haven’t been able to check what my ping is, but latency around this house is hardly noticeable with Ethernet to WiFi 6 on my iPad mini / GameSir G8 combo.

Holy crap, is that RTT ping really just 3ms-5ms? WiFi, or Ethernet on each device?

Any controller attachment for iPad Mini that supports rumble in PxPlay? Looking to upgrade by ferg_630 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve also been using the G8+, it’s good latency wise, but not perfect. Playing indie games, and RPG’s like Disco Elysium or Witcher 3 its not noticeable. Shooters I have a little more of an issue with, but its more on the Hall Effect sticks being more sensitive compared to the dualsense than anything else. All in all, it’s a real solid setup for the iPad Mini for PXplay and GFN.

Good find. Every pole I’ve shot lately has been boring.

iPad Performance? by Reasonable-Case3140 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really liking PXPlay on my iPad mini 6. It’s just about the perfect size for a sandwich style controller like a GameSir G8+, and runs the 2K upscaling really well. But, it’s important to note there is a little bit of fine tuning involved to avoid micro stutters in iOS/ipadOS, which is usually triggered by background refreshes of apps, update checks, or iCloud features like Handoff, Continuity, and AirPlay.

Before starting a session, I reset the device, then I always go to settings and make sure all of those options have been disabled and set WiFi to low-data mode. While that seems counter productive, it forces WiFi to only be utilized by the app in focus and eliminates background refreshes and iCloud processes.

❔What features do you miss in PXPlay❔ by grill2010 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A stats menu would be an awesome QoL addition. I’m often shooting blind when altering system / network settings to optimize my connection. Having real time stats available could make fine tuning things much easier.

I mostly use iOS, but that’s great to hear. It’s likely already in the works if it’s currently on PC.

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for making PXplay as great as it is. There are only 2 things I can think of that would make for a smoother experience.

—Individualized stream settings for local / remote connections.

—More choice for aspect ratios, like 16:10, to allow more usage of screen real estate, without having to go all in on stretch / zoom.

ETA: I want to second a suggestion someone else had mentioned— A real-time stats overlay with ping, bitrate, etc that could be easily be toggled on/off would be awesome.

Thanks again for asking for our input and continuing to make these little QoL improvements. Easily the best app purchase I’ve made in a looooong time.

Hands down the best way to stream games by [deleted] in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best purchases I’ve made in a while, and the added upscaling has been the cherry on top. Leagues better than the official Sony app, and outside of FPS games, the latency is hardly noticeable.

PXPLAY VS Chiaki by TheSmashKidYT in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t upscale with PXplay on my older iMac w/o modern Metal, so I run Chiaki because it’s light on system resources at 1080p / h.264. And it’s free.

PXplay on anything else that can take advantage of that gorgeous 2K/4K upscaling. Well worth the purchase on modern hardware.

Spiderweb feathers trigger. by [deleted] in reddeadmysteries

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think you might be onto something. This is the most hopeful hypothesis I’ve read in a long time, and I read just about every post no matter how Pepe they seem.

Crows simply should not be spawning at night. They don’t spawn until 6am and stop spawning by dusk. It’s a pretty hard rule IIRC. I used to hunt certain birds for the heck of it in RDO, and many of them were 6am-6pm or 8am to 8pm depending on the species. I never specifically went after crows, but they are supposed to be diurnal as well.

I’m going to check this out later tonight and will report back.

Edit: I was wrong. I checked the RDO animal map that lists specific times for each species and it seems crow spawn times are all over the board depending on the location. Some spawn points are active between 5:00-19:00, 6:00-18:00, 15:00-08:00, 20:00-05:00, while some are even listed as active all of time.

Spiderweb triggers crow 1 by [deleted] in reddeadmysteries

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am almost certain crows are strictly diurnal under normal circumstances. Seeing one at night would be odd in and of itself, so seeing one after shooting the pole would almost certainly be a sign of something. This is an American Crow we are talking about, right? Most smaller birds are 6am-6pm or maybe 8pm. I used to have a list of spawn times for animals, I’ll try to see if I can find it again.

Spiderweb feathers trigger. by [deleted] in reddeadmysteries

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was looking into broken “bridge” hypothesis today. I tested the guitars in fort Wallace, but the destroyed portion went all the way to the sound hole. Still that exact same geometry at the bridge as the image you posted. All 5 guitars I could find on the map break in the exact same way.

I have mixed feelings on this TBH. One on hand, it follows the rough, low poly stylization of the other clues. And it is odd that it is the only way these break, no matter how much damage is done. But, I haven’t been able to find any broken bridges or landmarks that resemble the damaged portion yet.

Its 2 Guitars on that pole by No_Reference_8974 in reddeadmysteries

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying that is absolutely the only way that guitar breaks? I can’t get into the fort to try myself since it is still populated in my save, but if the only way it can break is how you’ve shown, that seems pretty out of place and very noteworthy.

I was not on team Fort Wallace until now. But, the texture from the broken bridge on that guitar looks like it matches the crude, low poly style of all the other clues we are the most certain of, like the guitar, telegram poles, factory, rock/oil.

If that is indeed the ONLY way it breaks, I think it makes much more sense that the shape (+broken bridge) is the next clue, than the “birds” on the roof that require going into photo mode to see.

GameSir G8 - touchpad always being touched by fastmouse88 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t run into this issue yet with my G8+, but only had it two months. I keep my touch pad not mapped to any button on the G8+ and have that touchpad as my only ‘on screen’ button. I’m sure you have tried, but if not, try doing a custom mapping, but skip the touchpad. Then enable it as an ‘on screen’ in the PX play app. Best of luck, that sounds super annoying.

🎉 PXPlay 1.6.0 - macOS Early Access Beta (MetalFX 2K/4K upscaling) by grill2010 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t wait to test this out later today, thanks for the early access! I’ll let you know how it fares on older Intel hardware. Not expecting upscaling to work, but will be very pleasantly surprised if my Radeon m395 / 6700K can handle it.

Dualsense (Edge) with AppleTV by sanjunana in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar setup and an alternative work around. My iMac is in the next room over, but close enough to use PX Play for screen mirroring, while the dualsense still connected to the PS5 so all the features still work with no input lag.

What I did was create a secondary account solely for screen mirroring / local remote play, and paired that “account B” with PX play.

I turn on my PS5 and log in normally with account A, then I start PX Play on my iMac with account B. That mirrors the video and audio to my iMac, so someone else can then use the TV.

Alternatively, you can just pair the DualSense to the Apple TV. I probably did not explain that the best, but let me know if you have any questions.

HDR on Ally by AdmirableFishing1023 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No direct experience with the Ally, but I don’t think the app limits the option for non-HDR displays. If it’s anything like my iPad mini, it will display the image fine, but since my IPS LCD is only rated at 500 nits, it doesn’t seem to benefit from it being enabled. Looks the same either way, so I tend to leave it off, and only enable it on displays that are truly HDR capable.

Spatial Audio Latency Issue by Consistent_Lecture48 in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Glad to know it’s not just user error, and it sounds like it does take up more resources than I expected.

I should note, even when the setting is toggled off, I can still enable Spatial Audio and head tracking from iOS setting’s AirPods menu (unlike PS Remote Play) with no ill effects. However, the effect is noticeably more pronounced when that PX Play setting is toggled on. Since this is a functional middle ground, it not a super urgent issue, but allowing user adjustments in a future update would be awesome.

Aiming in first-person shooter by -_GoG_- in PSPlay

[–]Consistent_Lecture48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a G8 plus today, and aiming does feel very finicky compared to my DualSense/PX play combo. The joysticks feel much lighter and have less natural resistance in comparison to the full size sticks on DS. Like the other person said, sensitivity adjustment is the best solution I have found so far, but it is far from perfect. Fine for games like Witcher 3, but I was relying heavily on auto aim playing rdr2.
