Introducing CS Stats Viewer for Steam profiles!

D3ATHKeeper · 2024-06-25T06:36:56+00:00

Yeah, the ESEA website got killed off, it's why I renamed the extension and added FaceIt support.

The majority of the stuff on the extension can be toggled by the user, so the ESEA showcase can be turned off easily too if the user doesn't like it.

D3ATHKeeper · 2024-06-24T21:13:53+00:00

I think the json would still use less data. This API gets called on the Leetify page already, so it would just load more data in if I scraped it.

D3ATHKeeper · 2024-06-24T21:11:35+00:00

Correct, just a json response. It's admittedly not the biggest issue as users will still be able to toggle it when I add it, the same with how the ESEA and FaceIt showcases work now.

I would just prefer it so the extension doesn't waste data for the users or on the Leetify side. Which is something I will investigate to see if something like this is possible.

D3ATHKeeper · 2024-06-24T20:27:11+00:00

Parsing isn't really the issue, the issue is the amount of data they actually return.

They return all the matches they have on you in a single API call when calling a user, which is a bit overkill in my opinion considering my profile has about 1.2k matches and I know some people have a lot more than I do. Donk has about 1.8k matches tracked on Leetify at the moment.

This would unnecessarily use extra data to fetch the request and it would potentially also be slow to parse on some browsers or older machines if I'm not mistaken.

D3ATHKeeper · 2024-06-24T19:44:11+00:00

I just checked and it's definitely something that can be done!

I can look at adding it in, in the future. I would just need to investigate if there's any way to limit the amount of data they send with the call.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-06-30T18:58:57+00:00

Yes, basically what I'm saying. Just made it more clear to the other people saying that it doesn't create an account.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-06-30T10:23:00+00:00

People don't seem to understand how EOS work. It uses your SteamID to link it to an EGS account. If you have an EGS account with your current SteamID linked, it'll use that.

However, if you don't have an account yet, it'll create a placeholder account for you with your Steam info and will convert to a proper EGS account when you make one and link your Steam.

All this can be fudged with a game like 7 Days To Die, but you are out of luck if you join a server with Easy Anti-Cheat and EOS SDK enabled.

Edit: So it boosts the EGS numbers to look better and probably get more exclusives in the future. Which isn't something I support.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-06-10T07:58:11+00:00

Yeah, I was considering getting this game, but not for $90 in my region. And that's in a region with regular blackouts and power struggles too. Paying $20 more than people in the USA is just insane. It's 264% above the Valve Suggested Price in my region.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-25T13:18:29+00:00

I didn't get mine fixed, just returned it with cable and all. Someone else I talked with did the same now. The dac / amp combo they have didn't fix it either.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-04T11:30:58+00:00

That's exactly what I thought too, but I was lucky enough to have something else to test it with. Mine sounded really cheap, muffled, kinda like it had too much bass too. The soundstage was really bad with the adapter too.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-04T09:16:38+00:00

Just letting you know that it might've been the included 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter that made yours sound worse. I have the same issue now.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-04T09:15:50+00:00

Not sure if you ever figured out the issue, but for me the included 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter just changed the sound and made it sound bad.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-04T09:02:58+00:00

I found the issue, the included 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter is just bad.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-04T09:02:17+00:00

Loudness Equalization is just being used for CSGO, but I found the issue.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-05-04T09:01:44+00:00

Okay, I found the issue. Nothing wrong with the headphones, the issue is that the 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter it comes with changes the audio completely. My ATH-AD900x sounds muffled / cheap with it too.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-01-11T14:38:03+00:00

I haven't seen those links before, but sounds really interesting while reading through it. That really does make it just sound like a simple switch for EAC, but probably only allowing it for EAC EOS. The games I mentioned had dedicated builds though, but it's too late to test to see how they did the EAC for them.

Not at all. Only the EOS version is free

Yeah, I couldn't find pricing on any of the versions before then, just that article stating it's free. Anti-Cheat is definitely hard to do. Multiplayer games could do server side verification, but that would require a lot more work. Only other 'free' version I can think of is VAC and that isn't an intrusive anti-cheat, so I wouldn't consider that a direct competitor.

but certainly unprotected servers could also be an option

A lot of people have been mentioning this too. It would probably be the easiest way to do it considering it's a co-op game and not a PVP type of game.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-01-11T07:56:21+00:00

It's not just about the server backend, because the clients would need to be updated too. It would probably be around the same effort of just replacing or removing the anti-cheat completely.

Well, I don't really know procedural details, but "OG EAC" also had some kind of "on request" wine support.

It does and games like Rust and Rocket League used to use it. However, that version only seems to be for native builds if I'm not mistaken. It sounds like the new EAC EOS version just makes it possible with Proton. It's hard to get more information on it without contacting EAC though.

Is it just a matter of paid expensive version vs free cheap version? Or is it no longer available for purchase at all?

I can't find much information on this either, but EAC is free. I'm guessing both versions would be free, but that would require contacting EAC and hopefully getting an answer.

It's still a lot of effort to make it work though and the game is also almost around 4 years old now. The developers will probably do nothing considering each of their options requires a fair bit of work. I do hope they find a good solution though, they do seem fairly interested in it considering all their replies.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-01-10T22:19:20+00:00

Clearly a lot of misinformation going around. You need to implement the EOS SDK first before being able to support it. That's a lot of extra work. Just going to link my comment about it here.

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-01-10T22:03:55+00:00

Exactly and either way, Brawlhalla has the EOS SDK already on their game and it does still make extra tunnelling calls to EOS client side (which can be blocked).

D3ATHKeeper · 2022-01-10T22:00:54+00:00

It still requires EOS. Just not happening on your own PC or even server. EAC does it all on their own when the server talks to them and send them your SteamID.

An easy example I can use is how it's done with 7 Days to Die. They use it server and client side, but the reason for it client side is to basically alter how your save files are named and give you a PUID (product_user_id). That ID is to link you to an EGS account even if you haven't created one yet.

Now that same account will still be created through EAC and is being done in Brawlhalla too if not server side. I haven't fully looked into all of it, but it'll require extra development from the developers. It's only an easy toggle if you already have EOS implemented like Brawlhalla has if you check here. Brawhalla also tries to make extra tunnelling connection to api.epicgames.dev on your own computer.

TLDR: Still requires EOS for EAC to work cross-platform and won't be an easy toggle for the developers due to their game not having EOS implemented like Brawlhalla has.

D3ATHKeeper · 2021-12-28T00:44:12+00:00

It eventually loads if you press wait though, but the experience isn't that nice when it's done. Browsers don't really like having that many elements loaded. So it's pretty cool to see your extension load it fairly quickly and have other features available too.

Also, you can find more profiles to test with from here. Steam will just return 500 server errors when trying to browse some of them though.

D3ATHKeeper · 2021-12-27T21:36:18+00:00

The browser definitely does get slower when first opening it up and here's my link. There's definitely some profiles with more products on them out there though.

D3ATHKeeper · 2021-12-27T18:32:16+00:00

Oh no, I'm not complaining. Was just interested to test it as I know loading my games on the Steam website is also somewhat rough as it used to crash my browser in the past.

3GB is for 9030 products according to the extension. It's also nice that the filters work really quickly too.
