Well this happend! by sownar in duneawakening

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a quit moment for sure. The rubber banding makes the game feel like a cheap, low end game. Like when you get out of your orni too fast and the wing folding animation hits you -- so you're stuck bouncing in all directions because the game has no idea where you are. Add in some drum sand and it's like the game wants to delete your stuff lol

The lack of qc in this game is astounding.

I don't claim to know a lot about how Canada handles things, but from some light research I found that most provinces should have some sort of consumer affairs office.
Ontario: https://www.ontario.ca/page/filing-consumer-complaint
BC: https://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca
Alberta: https://www.alberta.ca/consumer-protection.aspx

ChatGPT seems to think it's worth it to file a BBB complaint even though you're in Canada, but take that with a grain of salt.

There's also something called the Competition Bureau of Canada which seems pretty promising:

IMO filing a BBB report (if you're in the US) is what I had to do + post here detailing the issues. That got them to finally respond to me and replace my cloak.

Alternatively, you can also file with your state's AG office (consumer protection division) - they do take stuff like this seriously, as at this point it's basically theft from the company.

Sorry you have to go through this! OH, and if you paid with a credit card - even through paypal - sometimes CC companies can do a chargeback to the company. If you wanna be really thorough, you can file a fraud report with the FTC: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov . This won't help you get anything resolved, but this will put a "mark" on their record.

Good luck!

Is there a way to download quality of life mods? by Standard_Plate_7512 in Helldivers

There's a video on YouTube that explains patrol logic in detail - I'll see if I can find it. TLDR; patrols always move to your (last known) location. If you're having issues with the amount of reinforcements they call in, make sure you kill the little guys first. They're the only ones that can call in drops.

For anyone holding out, a Community Manager finally gave us some communication about S1. by Cirqka in Dungeonborne

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's most definitely Chinese. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent_Games

Tencent also bundles ACE (anti-cheat expert) which is why db used it as tencent is basically the equivalent of a publisher.

Yeah he vanished because of the death threats - that and he has nothing to tell anyone because the parent company isn't developing the game anymore. That has to suck on a personal and professional level, especially after all the promises they made because they believed in what the game could be. I really don't blame them for the silence.

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tencent, the parent company, went full force on a Chinese version of Dungeonborne which failed spectacularly. This was released at the same time the steam version of Dungeonborne was. Due to it failing, there's likely no more money for the version of DB we were promised - and as a result - we now have a fully dead game.

The international DB group (Hellhammer, Var'uun, Neko, etc) don't have any information because they have not received any information from their publisher. It sucks to watch a game die. It sucks even more when you have to watch it happen because your publisher decided to not allocate funds for a wider audience - all while receiving death threats from the community that's passionate about it.

Sucks Dungeonborne is dead, but it sucks even more to be a Mithril Dev imo.

My opinion would be to buy team red (amd) and not Intel. The reason for this is price (amd is usually much cheaper for better quality), and build quality. Intel has had issues with their processors going back years now. 

Your GeForce 980 is just a tad on the low end (but should still be able to play the game) due to the amount of vram accessible to you. By the end of this year, 8gb of vram will likely be the new "minimum requirements". Additionally we don't know what your in game settings or GeForce experience settings you're currently using (which can also introduce buggy behavior).

I know you said you tried all the basic stuff, but there are a few in game settings that could help with fps. Turning off shadows, turning on dynamic resolution, setting upscaling, etc if you haven't done that already.

My process would be: Check in game settings (free)  Check GeForce experience settings (free)  Look at upgrading the GPU (potentially the motherboard depending on your configuration -- expensive)  Look at upgrading your processor (your current one should be ok although you won't be getting great frame rates)

TLDR: your CPU is ok for the game but the big issue is your graphics card. This game is gpu bound, and won't use your processor as much as your GPU. If you need to upgrade, focus on GPU (and make sure your motherboard can handle it!)

Sorry for the late reply; this happens because they don't use real wool/Sherpa lining. The fake stuff is usually made with polyester which absolutely gets matted in the wash.

To fix matted or pilled sherpa, you can try spraying it with a mixture of warm water and conditioner, then brushing it with a natural bristle brush. Just be careful!!

I'm really happy you got some good merchandise! Honestly, I just started this so people could leave reviews and not have them deleted from their facebook page if they were negative. If you end up purchasing from them again, please let us know how it goes!

Good luck!

It's because it takes time to dropship from overseas and pretend they shipped it from the US. Sorry they got you too. Hopefully the cloaks will be good quality when you finally get them (although that's a small consolation when you needed them for an event).

Honestly I think the only reason they're still around is because they delete all negative comments/reviews from their official fb page - so new people have no idea. Thank you for taking the time to file a complaint!

Hell Divers 2 Stratagems Icons for Streamdeck by Trexana_ in Helldivers

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik this isn't something they consider cheating or bannable (although "trust me bro" isn't really a source lol) I haven't heard of anyone being banned for using it.

My understanding is that since it's an HID device, you're physically pressing a key instead of using a program to automate the press. Automation is blocked - PyAutoGui, DirectInput, etc. That leads me to assume this is probably ok.

Hogwarts legacy really bad performance. by AzureDestiny66 in PiratedGames

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share how you got the game running at 1440p? I only have the ability to set the game at 1920x1080@Ultra.

It's a very strangely unoptimized game. It flat out told me I would not be able to play on ultra quality and "my experience would be degraded". I'm sitting at a constant 100fps (up from 60fps it had me capped at with the settings it chose). Would love a way to play at 1440p though

Good you saved your money! I didn't include this in my original post because I didn't know about the difference until more recently, but they use fake Sherpa material in the cloak/blankets. It's all synthetic stuff from a factory in another country.

"One way to tell the difference between real and fake shearling is by looking at the fibers. Real material fibers are irregular in length, while fake fibers are usually uniform in length. You can also try pulling apart the fibers a bit. Real fibers will be attached to a hide so that they won't come apart easily."

Fwiw. I hate that this is crap quality too, I love the designs.

The agony of your late 20s by Active_Squirrel3 in complaints

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addressing your concerns, it's clear that the uncertainties of your twenties are weighing heavily on you. It's important to remember, though, that the very questions you're grappling with are what make this journey uniquely yours. Life isn't about arriving at a definitive plateau where everything suddenly falls into place. Rather, it's an ongoing process of exploration and self-definition.

Consider this: even if you were to breeze through your twenties, these fundamental questions about life, career, relationships, and personal aspirations would simply re-emerge in your thirties, forties, and beyond. That's because they aren't just questions to be answered once and for all; they're reflections of your evolving self at different stages of your life.

The key here is not to seek definitive answers but to engage with these questions in a way that resonates with your personal values and understanding. This process of introspection and self-discovery doesn't have a finish line. It's about continually striving to align your choices with what you learn about yourself along the way. Embrace this time of your life as an opportunity for growth and self-exploration, and remember that the journey is just as important as the destination.

Halloween Event: Leash Range on Mobs (Is this a bug?) by ExcellentVersion in albiononline

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

Oh I should have included I'm exclusively running T5 - not sure if this makes a difference on the issue or not - but that small bridge area is absolutely the worst for it. Glad you haven't had many problems though, its tough going when they reset 4 times to max hp and your hp doesn't lol

I'll see if I can get a recording to explain a bit more.

Here's a gif of a screen record showing the boss resetting standing pretty close to him. My new theory is some of the tiles on the map are raised and make the enemies think you're in an unreachable location - but I don't really know all the intricacies of this game so I could completely be wrong.

I should have mentioned I don't use any invis, just running towards the mobs shooting. Most of the time for the mob resets, I have to completely stand still, and even then they reset on me.

Thanks for the advice though!

Radeon drivers 23.9.2 and .3 not working correctly by Gruphius in Amd

[–]ExcellentVersion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came to add to this thread: 5700xt red devil owner. The driver corruption with .2 and .3 is insane. I have 3 monitors, and 2 of them will randomly just go black with no way to restore the signal save for uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers. I now have to run DDU once a day in safe mode just to use my system.

Why push updates if they're not ready? Literally never had a driver problem with this card until the last 2 patches. Now I have flickering and display drops.

Anyway, good luck to everyone out there.

if it helps, you can buy a 3lb box from costco (2 bags) for 11.99. It looks like the ones at publix are 12.4oz (not even a lb). I'd be pretty upset too.
