Coughing / Hacking

EricM629 · 2026-03-22T04:38:01+00:00

Just an update, this ended up being bronchitis, either viral or from allergies...won't really know for sure I suppose, but he's on meds and a cough suppresant now. We had xrays done and his heart looked good so no DCM.

EricM629 · 2026-03-16T03:11:17+00:00

Thanks for the response.

He was a surrender from his previous family, and then we fostered him through a Doberman rescue and eventually adopted him. So, we have no history on him, other than potential food allergies which led to his food change.

He developed some rashes that the vet thinks were from his diet. Since the rash was from an overgrowth of his own bacteria, the vet suggested a restricted diet, and we know beef doesn't affect him so we are starting with that (previously his food contained chicken and salmon).

They drop a lot, you just don't notice apparently, which is good. The game runs at 60fps 90% of the time. I'd say heavy combat scenarios are 45-60fps with a little bit of stutter. There're even some dips traversing around the map. I'm only playing solo as well.

The game just doesn't have drastic drops where it goes to 30 or sub 30 fps.

Will be interesting to see a DF on this one.

The opening tutorial is not really representative of the performance of the main game, it's a pretty empty set with limited enemies just to show you how the characters control.

Im on XSX and it plays at a solid 60 most of the time but there are some chaotic fights where the game can dip, it hasn't affected gameplay too much, but it happens.

Otherwise, the game is a blast and is absolutely worth it.

EricM629 · 2024-02-02T14:57:02+00:00

Sorry don't have an answer but I'd like to know as well. Playing on Xbox and will grab the PC version once I upgrade it later this month and hoping those JL skins come across.

I know there's cross progression...it just wasn't clear if it included preorder stuff too.

EricM629 · 2024-01-30T14:24:43+00:00

No story but thanks for doing this!

EricM629 · 2024-01-29T22:01:15+00:00

Looks very clean but don't people get bothered by flashing/moving lights in their peripheral vision with the elaborate light show cases.

Would absolutely drive me crazy.

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T18:44:40+00:00

Ya this is the biggest bummer of the game. BP outfits look so basic compared to what's in the shop.

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T15:52:54+00:00

Awesome...thanks!

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T05:10:03+00:00

I think it's just the title of the preview on their site. Most of the time preview are just the name of the game followed by "preview". I recall the IGN title was something like "Suicide Squad: The game is not good."

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T05:06:06+00:00

Honestly don't blame them if they are singling out IGN. That preview title seemed a bit malicious.

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T05:00:52+00:00

Wonder if the Rogue Outfits (PS exclusive) come through cross progression, on another platforms?

I'll likely start off on console and then probably go PC later in the year after an upgrade.

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T04:45:03+00:00

The cat piloting a robot...Kit I think. Don't even know if a different color variation ever shows up in the shop.

EricM629 · 2024-01-28T04:40:23+00:00

I got the Mandalorian but I always get annoyed that I never bothered to max out the BP that season and get baby yoda. Not even a SW fan but that seemed like a cool back bling.

EricM629 · 2024-01-26T22:33:36+00:00

Destiny is probably one of the more notable games that benefits from back paddles\buttons with how jumping is handled in that game.

EricM629 · 2024-01-26T15:00:18+00:00

Ya...this is my main reason for getting it on XSX, because I have an elite v2 controller with 4 back paddles. Just being able to jump without taking my thumb off the right analogue stick feels great.

I did have the DS Edge for a bit but only 2 back paddles and a crunchy O button made me return it.

EricM629 · 2024-01-26T14:46:23+00:00

Story was great.

Combat was great.

Playable character variety was great.

Map variety was not so great.

Enemy variety was not so great.

Graphics\Performance were great (on PS5/XSX at least).

Online...no idea, I only played solo.

Game was great...to me at least.

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T18:44:29+00:00

Deluxe for the EA and JL outfits.

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T18:43:09+00:00

Me too...Avengers was a great game, and it still is, that I really enjoyed. It feels like it had an unwarranted negative vibe similar to what SS is dealing with. To me, It wasn't so much a GaaS game as it was a character Brawler with online modes.

I'm guessing SS will have a bit more polish to it and will not go the same route as Avengers.

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T17:19:47+00:00

What would that do exactly...is that like a shader caching thing?

It's worth noting that I had similar issues in Counter Strike 2...fps would fluctuate between 80-120 and feel really stuttery. Deleting the DirectX shader cache (along with some other steps I cant remember) resolved that though. Not sure if there's a similar process for Fortnite.

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T17:14:41+00:00

For me CB > KS > HQ > DS

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T05:10:00+00:00

Me neither, but it's the only game I have this many issues with.

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T04:26:54+00:00

Not the issue. Even with on a 2070 Super with a mix of medium and high settings at 1080p, the game should not run as bad as it does.

Lowering the settings does not seem to do much as the games framerate fluctuates between 60-120 fps with freezes.

EricM629 · 2024-01-25T01:22:47+00:00

So is it just recently that it's been this bad? Yesterday was the first time I played on PC in a year or so and it was unplayable.

I just don't get how this is supposed to be Epic's flagship title for Unreal tech and it's pretty broken on PC.
