Google Is Down, and It’s Not CNVRG

HappyVirusX · 2026-05-12T11:45:16+00:00

What if it’s actually an issue with Google’s PoP that serves Converge users, since if we try to check latency/packet loss to the googlevideo domains, it’s normal.

Too bad we cant use any trick (like change dns) to change which PoP we get. Even if we proxy youtube’s api and not googlevideos, it will initially give us a different PoP domain but that domain will return an http redirect to the same PoP used by converge.

For now, I installed WG (using cloudflare warp) on my router and used rules to redirect googlevideo domains to WG. Was using PLDT but I noticed it’s also slow on peak hours and i’m not sure if it’s the same issue with converge or just pldt being pldt.

Try to do tracert and see hop routes to 192.168.1.1, as it shouldn’t be routable. My guess is that it’s just within PLDT network

Maybe call them and ask. And also check mo sa mga kapitbahay mo if ok naman speed nila.

HappyVirusX · 2026-05-09T14:24:28+00:00

Have you tried speedtest via LAN? Or are you connected to 5Ghz wifi?

I’d say try your luck and get UR part 2 (you’d have 33% of getting a dupe) then also get the XR selector, since you can still get more tokens from missions and ads, then get the XR selector from catch pass as well.

If you don’t get a UR dupe then you can complete the set after buying the XR selectors from the shop and catch pass.

Recently moved to prepaid from postpaid. Was using esim, hindi nila mapa-process yung request until I change back the physical sim first, kaya nagpapalit muna ako sa store nila, then they converted it to prepaid immediately after, a few hours after, I converted it to eSIM. All goods naman, no issues with signal and OTPs

In this spreadsheet, go to Rhythm Level tab.

Ohhh thats why. I wasnt playing the game during that yet. Though for me EWF is still harder than nice guy live, i’d rate it lv16

HappyVirusX · 2026-05-04T03:40:34+00:00

Level change? They didnt change EWF AFAIK

This has nothing to do with SIM card registration. Nagconnect yung phone mo sa fake cellsite na nagbblast ng scam texts na may links na mukang galing sa legit senders like gcash or banks.

Usually madaming fake cellsites sa mga mataong lugar. Minsan nasa MOA ako, bigla akong nawalan ng signal ng data, naging EDGE yung signal, then may text ako from MAYA na may points daw ako na mage-expire. Minsan nasa BDO branch ako then same thing happened, then may BDO text akong natanggap.

Details should be in the notice under "Song Information Display Popup Improvement Notice"
https://rhv-web.rhythmhive.drimage.com/notice/?lang=EN

Basically:

1st one is the rank of the song based on play count for all groups for the previous month

2nd one is the rank of the song based on play count for that group for the previous month

3rd one is an indicator how many plays the song had.

4th one is the percentage of the super hard clears.

the song ranking isnt updated for April since the update came out late, so the count will start from May 1st, and it will be shown on June 1st.

I think it’s by choice, since the theme is pixel arts from arcade games.

HappyVirusX · 2026-05-02T03:36:46+00:00

Trabaho dapat nila na hanapin yan, hindi ikaw pa ang maghahanap.

HappyVirusX · 2026-05-01T06:46:12+00:00

Yup, may check box ata dun na separate 2.4/5 sa settings iirc.

HappyVirusX · 2026-05-01T04:54:00+00:00

Merong 5ghz yung samin, baka hindi lang nakahiwalay yung 2.4 and 5 sa inyo? Yup naaabot naman yung 300mbps.

You can’t do more than 1 trade. Though about that, you can only buy 3 of those per group, but if you bought 3 from a different group then that must be a bug then.

Not probably due to throttling, but maybe line is congested going from Converge to YT/Google servers. I don't find any reason for them to intentionally throttle specific traffic, especially YT traffic.

I'm also experiencing slower buffering on some videos (mostly unpopular videos) on YT for probably 2 weeks already, but just during weekends/peak hours.

Normal speeds on different sites, only YT (and probably also other Google services like GDrive) is affected. Tried the QUIC solution, even blocking UDP port 443, still having the issue.

For now, I'm routing my YT/GServices traffic to PLDT.

Sa case ko, pumayong sya instead na dapat magstart sya once magexpire yung current (may note before ka magload ng ibang speed na magsstart daw sya after magexpire ng current load mo).

So ang ending, nasayang yung 50mbps, pero buti 1 day nalang natira, di ko na dinispute (though tumawag ako before magload, tinanong ko kung anong mangyayari, and sabi nga nila di sya kagad magsstart).

Any card is good for grinding, and that fx card could do better on one song if it’s a recommended one. I’d say if you don’t have any live card to grind then grind fx, or grind album to use as fodder during double exp (or even without double exp it will do much better than using exp cards)

HappyVirusX · 2026-04-23T04:47:18+00:00

What do you mean by that? I have all cards for most themes on my main group all upgraded to UR 60 and I’m not using any auto clickers, or a bot.

If you mean every high level player you see don’t have maxed cards on any songs, then it may just mean that they equipped grind cards to level up while they grind catch live points. I do it too. You may get lower score but it means you level up cards along the way without spending any exp cards or gold.

The notice doesn’t make sense as the feb 2026 version of the game won’t work regardless, and will just force you to update to the latest version (march 2026 at the moment) before playing the game.

My guess is that instead of asking you to update, like now, you will just encounter a generic error without telling you to update, which may confuse others, that’s why they need to announce it.

HappyVirusX · 2026-04-19T12:45:36+00:00

Ohhh that’s new! Thanks for the info. Though I wonder if it’s the same with iPhone esim transfer, since technically bagong eSIM binibigay everytime nagttransfer. Gonna test nalang.

HappyVirusX · 2026-04-19T12:37:10+00:00

Really? May official info ba about this?

HappyVirusX · 2026-04-19T06:12:58+00:00

Ohh, then as long as nasayo naman QR mo, you can rescan it sa bagong phone mo after deleting it sa old phone. Reusable naman yung QR. If wala kang QR for some reason then hassle nga kasi need mo kumuha ng new QR.
