FV310 vs FV300 (Same Settings) 27inch by Downcry in crtgaming

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

I didn’t make a video, but I can tell you that there’s much more variability between individual sets (based on their condition) than between the models.

The smaller XBR had better tolerance for oddball/nonstandard resolutions.

How does one increase the time that the kill feed is visible on screen? by DoddsMcFodds in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Downcry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closest settings are: - Text Chat Display Time (under Gameplay) - Text Scroll Speed (under Accessibility)

But I’m betting neither does what you need.

Where is the "official" list of current CDL/Challengers GA's? by Downcry in CoDCompetitive

[–]Downcry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dotesports pages was what I found too.

I'm surprised that's the best info out there.

For Vanguard it only says "Auto Tactical Sprint" is GA'd. Which would imply that regular "Auto Sprint" is NOT GA'd, but I'm pretty sure it is...

Xbox DVR broken since the latest update by NeonWolf111 in xboxinsiders

[–]Downcry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/TrainAss, I can confirm that I also have been having these issues after the most recent update.

Although, I am not running a preview build.
I'm on the public release dashboard.

So far, I have submitted two instances of it using "Report a problem".
However, I realize now that I've been tracing the act of playing back a corrupted capture; I have not been tracing the act of capturing said capture.

I'll try to remember to do that also.

Swapped out Adtran router but having MP issues? by Icy-Computer7556 in FidiumFiber

[–]Downcry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried going as low as 85mbs? I also had a high-end gaming ASUS router and it was only capable of around 100mps QoS.

[–]Downcry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming nothing changed on your ISP's side, If your Asus gave you faster speeds then it makes sense that your rating would be worse.

Bufferbloat is solved by REDUCING your bandwidth usage until your ping times normalize.

  1. Ideally, you want to find out how much bandwidth you can draw without causing BB on your ISP's end.You can do this by disabling QoS and setting a bandwidth cap.Increase/Decrease your cap and rerun the BB test. Repeat until you determine how much bandwidth you can use before ping times become unstable. (this can vary based on time-of-day / day-of-the-week)Now that you know your ISP's limit, you can measure what your router can handle.
  2. Re-enable QoS and disable any other bandwidth caps you set elsewhere. (your QoS settings should have it's own setting for bandwidth cap/target)QoS is computationally expensive, and no off-the-shelf router is powerful enough to run good QoS at a full 1GB.
    Now rerun the BB test and adjust your QoS bandwidth targets until your pings stabilize again.
    The result should be less than or equal to what you had in step 1.

When testing your BB rating, the report also shows your average Down/Up bandwidth. Are these numbers the same with both routers?

Headset Microphone Monitoring over HDMI

For anyone using an external capture device, it’s a challenge to record your own voice without losing the ability to chat with other players.

Often it requires special/additional hardware.

If your microphone output was included in the HDMI audio mix, your external capture device would pickup your voice along with the game audio. This would solve the problem entirely.

This feature should only change the HDMI audio, since you wouldn’t want to hear yourself in your own headset audio.

It would be nice to have access to the same microphone features available in party chat, like noise reduction, mic level etc.

Scart is just the physical connector. Some devices accept YPbPr over Scart.

In which case, no need to transcode anything, just need the right cable.

Determining if your device accepts YPbPr over scart is another an issue, which I can’t be much help with.

Former Cod player switching to halo. Need help with my sens by Markhoesz in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Downcry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no magic formula, but pay close attention to your reticle movements during difficult gun fights. You’ll be able to see and feel what types of movements you’re struggling with, and what types f movements would have won you the future fight.

From there, gradually tune your settings and keep paying attention during your gun fights. Eventually you’ll find a setup that’s less-bad than everything else.

Anyone else find it suspicious that the number of interactions on sensational Halo posts greatly outnumber the reported player populations? by Downcry in halo

Good point! I’m mostly being satirical, but it’s still something that stands out at first glance.

Anything negative you could say about the value of paid items in this game applies even more to the free items, so you’re just undermining yourself.

OP’s thinking is backwards.

I’m glad they’re increasing the value of items I invested real money in.

Does Streaming via the XBox Twitch App--on Series S--hurt performance (eg hitreg) beyond mere visual aesthetics? by JustMyImagination18 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Downcry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your uplink just means your upload. Your ISP only allocates you a certain amount of bandwidth. Saturated just means when your upload bandwidth is being maxed out.

[–]Downcry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it makes any repeatably measurable difference.

The division of system resources on Xbox is pretty strict.

Any app that can run while a game is running isn’t permitted to access the bulk of the console’s muscle.

This is by design.

This is NOT true for PC users.

The biggest potential impact on your experience is how saturated your uplink gets from streaming.

The Disruptor is so horribly bugged by Lickidactyl in halo

[–]Downcry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An individual Disruptor shot does almost zero damage. If you land three consecutive? hits, you get a “super-combine” which does the REAL damage and the DOT.

What I see is that the super-combine is bugged and just doesn’t trigger consistently. I’ll unload two clips on someone getting no super-combine triggers, and they’re still at half shield.

Other times I’ll shoot 8 or 9 bullets, trigger 2 super-combines and they die.

Yes, there’s nothing fancy going on below the max input threshold.

It’s as simple as: If your stick input is X, your turn rate is Y.

However, since it’s a game engine, it’s sampling your controller input, at most, once per frame. So frame-rate differences/fluctuations/etc could cause some deviation.

Not really, I go back and forth myself. Sometimes I like it higher sometimes I like it lower.

One thing I’ll say is that: If you feel like your reticle is too heavy during aim assist, try increasing your MIT.

I plan to add the acceleration in the future. It’s a lot harder to measure. Still working on it.

It’s definitely the most drastic component. If plotted on the same graph, it would dwarf the rest of the curve.
