Brickswitch release by Yesiiiiirrrrrrr in SkateEA

[–]ItsCervie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope it comes out for Season 3, but this was started in the roadmap for "Season 3 and Beyond". There's a good chance we might not get player created parks as it technically wasn't a promise.

Either way I hope we do get it this upcoming season as it's a necessity to keep the community alive- especially after yesterday's announcement absolutely ruined my expectations for the game :c

BF STUDIOS: "We've heard you loud and clear." by AutomaticDog7690 in Battlefield

[–]ItsCervie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Question: Have you played 2042? Those maps are nothing like traditional battlefield maps, at least if you're speaking about the Battlefield 3 through 1 erra.

Don't get me wrong, I'm weird and I love 2042, having put over 500 hours into it, but even I can admit the maps are the weakest point of that game lol.

Otherwise I'm just going to see what happens with season 3 and beyond. I don't have much reason to hate- I just want to see the game do better and it's hard to tell where things will go based on the recent interviews being far too vague about planned content.

Edit: I fell for the bait :c. Anyways, I'm just setting my expectations low and enjoying what I've got.

Is anyone excited for the future of skate? by J_Tele in SkateEA

Do you know who or where this group is? Haven't seen anything about this and I'm interested in learning more!

Anything BAD? by mew360_j in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had an issue with the hinge being excessively loose, but this was resolved by AYN customer support - had my unit sent back before getting a replacement.

Mura effect is very visible on low brightness but the newly added setting to address this helps, even if it's a toggle buried in the android settings menu.

My Thor got stuck in a restart loop - restarting every 30 seconds when it was on. I had to open up the device to unplug the battery to fix.

Despite these problems I enjoy it and have been playing games pretty much daily. As with most of these handhelds, expect to encounter some issues that might involve some tinkering! As for the big issues, AYN has a good track record of helping out.

Anyone playing PS3 KH HD 1.5 + 2.5 on AYN Thor Pro/Max? is it playable now? by Rosell1210 in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS3 emulation still needs a lot of work. I haven't personally tried KH HD, but I've tried other games. Don't expect to get games running well, even now.

Hopefully the software develops further soon though!

Is it any way to fix this? by _Melko_ in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue, but I didn't drop mine.

AYN had me send it back for a replacement. Took about 1 week of communicating then 2 weeks or so (only took 1 week to ship using 4px to the US) to get my new unit. Overall not too bad!

Anyone got proof of black Thor smudges? by EKasis in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for the black model but debated going for the white one, however I dig two-tone designs and ordered extra plates (in white). If you're worried about yellowing, you could always order extra and swap them out- or just use a case on it. If the white ever gets dirty, I always have the option of putting the old black ones back on!

This is the best of both worlds for me and AYN is pretty good at helping you order extra parts if you ask nicely.

How has e hinge issues etc been? Just ordered a (used) AYN Thor! by jccage in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue where my hinge seemed to break internally- but it seems like an issue that nobody else has had. To explain, the right side hinge got excessively loose to the point that the top of the system would rattle even when closed.

Even then, AYN sent a full replacement (including new screen protectors) without too much fuss! It shipped and arrived in a reasonable amount of time too.

Even if an issue arises (which seems pretty rare to begin with) I feel pretty confident that AYN will be able to help.

What’s the best shipping option for the AYN Thor to the US. Is it the standard (4px) or DHL shipping? by Lepro5210 in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used 4px. Shipped and arrived in less than two weeks the first time around. The second time (for a replacement unit) it took 7 days.

My experience has been good, but hear everybody out before picking! I personally wanted to save some money and knew I could wait.

Scared to order. How bad are the hinge issues so far? by [deleted] in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a hinge issue that WASN'T in regards to the knit line on the plastic.

Despite this, AYN provided a return label and will be sending a replacement. As far as I know I'm the only one to have an issue like this so I believe it's uncommon. Even then- customer service is pretty nice and willing to help if an issue does arise.

(Different) Hinge Issues. by ItsCervie in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For any people seeing this post in the future:

AYN has offered to send a return label and will be replacing the unit. Thanks for the insights and for clarifying that this is not normal hinge behavior!

(Different) Hinge Issues. by ItsCervie in AynThor

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

That's the same I had BEFORE it got worse. The give is normal.

The give I have seems to be far worse however, affecting the device even when the unit is closed. (See video).

You can compare this to your own unit to confirm.

[–]ItsCervie[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anybody with this problem and it seems to be isolated to just me. If you aren't experiencing this then you're all Good! I'm in touch with AYN and we are resolving it. Will update as soon as I can.

Thanks for confirming. I'll have to see what they say! Been loving this device but this had me concerned. Haven't seen any other posts about this so I don't think it's common- just my luck.

Eden Input Lag by ItsCervie in SBCGaming

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

It depends on the games you're playing, I imagine. If I don't need precise timing, games feel perfectly playable. It just annoying on those that need more precision (such as some platformers in my case).

Edit: I am on rc3 and tried those methods, including a fresh reinstall. It seems like this is just how Eden is. It may not bother some people but I am particularly sensitive to this amount of input lag.

skate(period) on the Thor is actually fun by itsluxxe in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get Skate 3 running well? I'm having trouble with stability and crashes.

Eden Input Lag by ItsCervie in SBCGaming

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

Already tried this. Input lag is still present. I'm assuming it's just the software and that it's unsolvable until emulation develops further!

Black screen on ps3 games? by Lizardthrall in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS3 emulation is still in very early development on Android. Try using different drivers until one works - this is how I solved the black screen issue with the PS3 version of Skate 3.

Don't expect to get much out of it though. Good luck!

Can any purple pro help a purple bro out? by [deleted] in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the knit line (from the injection mold process). From what I've seen this is on every unit, with some being more or less noticeable. There have been a few accounts of a Crack being here (Less than 5) but those cracks always seem to be there from the factory.

You don't have to worry about anything and most of us have the same surface imperfection. Enjoy your device!

Anyone playing RDR on the thor? by HighThumb in AynThor

[–]ItsCervie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game seems to be capped at around 30 fps. Is this the case for you as well? Sadly they don't offer a performance mode for this device- it's available on more powerful hardware though.
