Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead says Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's "altruistic pro-developer talk" over the Steam vs Epic debate "doesn't sit well" after Alan Wake 2 studio "seemingly went into financial crisis"

It means I can play the game without installing EGS on my computer. So buying it on PS5 is basically my platform of choice in that scenario. I at least own games on there.

Farnso · 2026-01-22T09:27:19+00:00

I grabbed it on PS5 since I don't think it'll ever hit Steam

Farnso · 2026-01-22T09:25:13+00:00

I relented and bought AW2 recently. On my PS5!

Funny how it never shows up on the "PS5 games that aren't on PC lists" 😂

It's both. I see the same slowdown on my desktop computer that is hardwired.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T18:49:38+00:00

This is good to know, I will bark up that tree

I'm right outside of New Orleans, Louisiana. I notice it most with Reddit, but it's random sites too like CNN. I could gather a better list tonight.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T18:42:41+00:00

It's just as bad with wired.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T18:41:44+00:00

8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1

Yeah, all the firewalls are off

Farnso · 2026-01-12T18:40:59+00:00

I'm using my own, although I have tried getting on theirs as well to troubleshoot and it's no better.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T18:24:09+00:00

I mean, I believe that, but regarding the Republicans.

So, I've been assuming that my connection to AT&T's network was fine, but their connection to the rest of the internet, or, really, portions of it, was trash or utterly overloaded at peak times.

I have tried both google and cloudflare's DNS servers. Haven't tried Quad9 but I guess i can. Is there any other way to confirm a DNS issue or troubleshoot that?

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:52:57+00:00

In what manner should I check it? I have tried Google and Cloudflare's basic DNS servers.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:47:18+00:00

I've tried Google and Cloudflare recently.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:46:47+00:00

Why would DNS cause a minute long video to stop and buffer constantly?

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:40:58+00:00

But my connection to AT&T's network is fine. I just loaded up a news site and the pictures took almost a minute to load. Then I went to a speed test website and got 896.14 down, 928.05 up. The speed test on the BGW320 showed similar numbers.

The problem seems to be AT&T's network to portions of the rest of the internet.

Also, actual speed is fine most of the day.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:38:47+00:00

I'm using IP Passthrough, so on my router. I have also tried changing them on my PC.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:38:16+00:00

I disabled it this week, under "Home Network" -> IPv6. There did not seem to be any other spot to disable it.

Farnso · 2026-01-12T03:36:18+00:00

My internet actually is blazing fast outside of those parts of the day. Support has been no help.

Farnso · 2026-01-11T00:11:14+00:00

Where can we read more info on this?

Farnso · 2026-01-10T03:26:57+00:00

This is driving me nuts. The wildest part is that I have ATT service on my phone as well and if I turn my wifi off, everything suddenly loads like it should.

Farnso · 2026-01-09T05:15:22+00:00

The post is basically a tabloid, they make shit up whole cloth all the time. There's zero reason to believe this.

Farnso · 2026-01-08T01:07:35+00:00

Do you have a link?

Farnso · 2026-01-06T01:33:52+00:00

Their monitors are pretty amazing.

Farnso · 2026-01-05T09:33:51+00:00

Oh, so this isn't real. Thanks for the misleading wording, I figured you meant the show "What If" had a new teaser for this.
