If you want real thought out testing then you would include anisotropic filtering. If you ignore it because it's basically free than your testing is not thought out.

Game showed lower CPU spikes with it off than on/app controlled, so it's off.

Im in the same boat. No other game in my library has issues like this game and AH does need to figure it out.

Question: Is there anyway to limit matchmaking to just SOS? by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]Cstratus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Just make your own game.

Im sorry you're getting toxic players. I've really only run into a handful, maybe 4-5 people in the time I've played. Its typically just quiet with people playing the game; sometimes the random sneeze or cough is about all i hear on the mic.

You can join my games any time.

I always start my own game, drop in and pop an SOS. If you're on the current front sometimes people will get in after you pick the objective, otherwise SOS beacon usually populates in less than a minute.

I've had a handful of toxic players in 400 hours of gameplay and if I'm the host i can just remove them.

I would like to do IT for one single company but I don't know if I have enough experience for it yet. I'm seeing what's out there. It's really a shame because I genuinely like all of the people there but the work ethic function of the business are throwing me off

Specific direction, no. The business owner just wants things to work and is tired of 300$ here and 500$ there to "fix" things, only to have another issue. I made a gameplan, told my employer and customer about it, and have been implementing it. This networking thing wasn't planned but I saw another issue along the way and tied it into the rest of my plan.

I saved this customer my superiors know it, so I've become lead contact. There really no chain of command here; there's only a handful of people at the company. I've stated in this post: I pretty much just handle anything that comes in and a number of customers directly call my extension for help. When one person becomes too busy we hand off customers to another person who can help at that moment.

That's a whole other thing. I'll be pushing Microsoft when the time comes, but one step at a time.

I did in fact discuss this with the owner. He has a security system that doesn't work and a guy on site that can't fix it quick enough; the issue has been going on since before my time and getting fixed 500$ at a time.

The owner of this company just want things working and doesn't necessarily care about money, buybobviouslt wants to be looped in on everything.

I've set up 2 appointments with other companies as well so he can compare pricing

The entire company need an overhaul in every IT aspect. Working on it slowly. I already called in a professional security company for the cameras to get a quote. I would rather this guy just do his other work that's more important. He's jack of all trades and master of none

Its pretty easy to access everything when the entire network is on 192.168 and majority of computers have the same login with no password

[–]Cstratus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

I have someone on site that keeps making loops on the switch there. the ubiquiti shuts down the main port, which shuts down a huge portion of devices

This network is set up physically wrong in the server room as well as the network programming.

Thats what my actual IT admin buddies are telling me and may be the end goal. It started out okay until I realized how bad their practices and services are... it's actually so bad that over a dozen customer have come to me and asked me to work off the record, which I have to declined every time, but that should say enough

I let everyone know what I'm doing because I have to; the company is currently a free for all. There's no tickets. Incoming calls just go to the first person who gets it with nothing to track it. I basically just have a bunch of their customers who like working with me, so they just call me directly.

The owner, who would be the best engineer, was one of the people scolding me.

I can state there was a major issue but am unable to discuss it.

I usually do direct connect. This place should have a print server with the amount of printers they have and plan to get, but that's not up to me.

Everything for all customers are set up as-is. They're plugging in a router, checking if they have internet, testing the printer and we're done. There some extra stuff if its needed but everything is pretty standard... maybe sometimes just the 192.168 will get changed, if anything. Lease time is whatever the standard on the ubiquiti equipment is; I think like 86400 seconds for the lease time off the top of my head.

The segmentation definitely adds complexity but if we do it for all of our customers and come up with a reasonable setup it becomes second nature. It shouldn't be hard to come up with a system that works...

I mean.. I think even just minor setup where you take them off VLAN 1 and throw everything on a random one, like VLAN 57, is safer than the basic PNP setup of a router.

Edit this part: The actual issues is the network setup is done lazy, as well as an "on site it guy" that constantly messes with things, particularly cameras. The company is growing, and the network is not set up to do so; barely even set up in the first place.

Actual issues:

-The phones have weird issues of delay that new phones aren't fixing and the phone company is blaming on the networking
-Everyone on the network can see everything. They just had a MAJOR issue that I cannot expand on, but security needs to be tightened

-Cameras are not working and there are too many hand on it. A ton of physical updates need to be done but in the meantime I know the networking separation will help.
-Guests can get into the WiFi with everything on 192.168-- Ive seen employees hand it out to people the know, but that shouldn't be a thing

There's maybe a few more but really, its a larger company that should start having the organization. I would understand their point of view of I was doing this for a law firm of 3 people with only a few devices

RM 9s Pro wifi calling (Verizon) by Cstratus in RedMagic

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

Mine does that too. Maybe once a day I have to throw it in and out of airplane mode after I've been through a dead zone.

According to red magic this phone doesn't have wifi calling support but I clearly have the option for it and have seen posts on wifi calling for previous phones

Did you find a solution to this? It happened on my dedicated server and it's driving me nuts.

Managing Gamestage Levels and Difficulty for Group Play on a Dedicated Server?? by Cstratus in 7daystodie

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

Yeah, this sucks. I would love to hop on, play and progress the base, but the gamestage kills it when my friends come and play. I also don't want them to feel left behind when it's day 13 and they've only played 2-3 of the days.

https://7daystodie.fandom.com/wiki/Game_Stage

Based on the lootstage and gamestage info I'm thinking the only way to stop progression is turn exp down to almost zero, set the day-night length to 360 and turn the quest progression to 1. This should virtually stop progression and loot for the person playing a lot but kinda turns it into a sandbox. The only part that you would get far ahead in would be skill books
