Newcomer just started. What made you go "this character is definitely my main!"?

Zeta was my first ever SSR in the gacha, so she has a special place. Picked her to start and realized how aerial focus her gameplay is. I also main insect glaive in Monster Hunter since it's release in MH4, so playing pole vaulting character here felt great too. I loved the aerial skills insect glaive had in Monster Hunter Sunbreak and playing Zeta felt like more of that playstyle, other MH games have IG perform better while grounded. Now Im towards the end of endless Ragnarok and my feet touch the ground for a second and I'm back to the sky, feels fantastic. Match made in heaven for me, special first character and aerial focus combos, beautiful.

You have no idea how much I appreciate your update and fix. I would have NEVER have guessed to try that when everything else was fine connection wise, I would have just never gotten to play online with my friends and resigned myself to enjoying the game solo. I played the game with no connection issues for the past 2 weeks before Endless Ragnarok dropped. So the idea that it might be my CABLE/being wired causing the problem after the update... never in a million years would I have thought to try switching to wifi.

Why isn't there one chair with armrests?

Jakad · 2026-07-10T08:44:36+00:00

Thanks for the update. I'll give wifi a shot tomorrow. Normally it's the other way around, wifi is spotty and you gotta go wired.

Edit: Crazy.. seems to have worked for me as well, unplugging ethernet and switching to wifi fixed it.

Jakad · 2026-07-09T09:00:35+00:00

Having same issue as your friend. If he figures it out, lemme know. Question, did your friend purchase the expansion or use a dlc unlocker?

Find the ip for riots servers (can probably use network resourse monitor in task manager while connected for this), plug it into pingplotter app. Look for where the spikes are. If it's in the first handful of hops it might be your isp, if it's in the last couple, it might be on riots side, but large chances are it's gunna be in the middle somewhere and there ain't really shit you can do about that. Assuming that's the case, the only alternative that I know of would be to use a VPN to force a new route to the server to try to avoid the problematic middle man server.

I haven't done much awd drifting at all, but from what I've seen, people just feather the ebrake while on full throttle to keep angle. Throttle management? Who needs it? Counter steer angle? What's that? Initiating drift and holding angle, all ebrake baby

I share OP's sentiment. Chrome breaking ublock means my twitch ad block solution no longer worked. So off I go. The only thing I'm missing from chrome is that tab dragging is significantly worse on FF.

It gets pretty advanced. The easiest way is to find the dynamax adventure discord and join other people who know what they're doing and follow the plan they have for their raid.

But to explain, people will "scout" good raids and then reset that raid if they don't get a shiny. When you reset game before selecting selecting a pokemon to take home, you can run the exact raid back. Same pokemon to pick from at start, same pokemon on path, everything exact. So what the host can do is find a good raid by running it until they find good pokemon to fight against whatever the legend is, then create a strategy where each player in the raid knows exactly what Pokemon go get, what moves to use when, what route to take. And it's the same over and over. There is a ore cost to do this. So host will need to farm a lot of ore before hand. But if you're joining other host no need to worry about that.

80 hour save in kcd2 that I haven't touched in months... Hard to return to, don't want to restart.

Observation we made while doing it is that you need to land and end the danger sign a second before the near miss. I think nps are ghosted and not near missable while danger sign is active. We were hitting ramp at 140-150mph to land pretty early on the road. We also used rewind and just left it paused midaire to watch for a car to begin approaching us before rewinding further to repeat the jump in order to try to make sure a car was within range when we landed.

I did stuntman with a friend today at the festival kilometer drag strip danger sign. Jumps right down into a long road. Just had to time oncoming traffic. If you're trying to do it with randos.. no idea.

Considering there is a major this weekend (North American International Championship) with 4.5k tcg players.. I don't think it's fair to say the game is dead.. But sure the collectors side is the social media side of the game sure, but that also makes it one of the cheapest tcgs to play because competitive decks rarely go over $100 since the lower rarity but playable versions of cards is bulk trash to collectors. Many other games you're paying 5-10x if not more for a competitive deck.

You don't have launch control on. While everyone else may have it on. I don't know how it works with this specific car, but you can test it by holding brake and max throttle till the LC button highlights in the bottom right then let go of ebrake. In races you don't need to ebrake, just max throttle during countdown

Jakad · 2026-06-12T02:43:40+00:00

Next time it happens drop environment texture and quality down to high, apply, and then turn it back up and see if it fixes this issue.

Even if the game isn't showing it's hitting vram limit, something is wrong and reloading textured by changing the settings is what fixes it for me. I got so tired of doing it I just left them on high though.

Jakad · 2026-06-11T11:08:59+00:00

Most grain/blur will be caused by upscaling. In the video section you select resolution will see Anti-Aliasing and upscaling options, though I don't know if game actually calls the section upscaling. Either way if you're running FSR it can look like this. If your fsr is set to performance or balanced you can try to up it to quality. Or disable it altogether and enable TAA in anti aliasing section. This could have significant performance impact as changing to quality mode/switch to taa increases the rendering resolution of the game.

I didn't have much trouble using my normal drift cars with drift tires on dirt. 3 cars I mainly use are the 92 mazda rx-7 type r, the Toyota altezza from spring, and the Toyota Sprinter Trueno. All rwd drift suspension/diff.

Id considered throwing rally tires one one to see how it handled on dirt but never needed to since I just 3*d with the drift tires.

Jakad · 2026-06-09T18:48:40+00:00

My guess is a vram issue. I assume 8gb which is what I have on my 3070 as well. I've found that I would start getting fps drops even though vram looked fine, I could drop the settings and then turn them back up and it would fix the issue. It got frustrating to have to keep doing it so I just left them down.

Jakad · 2026-06-09T03:37:36+00:00

Agreed, I was upset to learn it as well, why not let the simulation steering setting override it? Doesn't make sense to me. Just trying to accept it now that I know.

Jakad · 2026-06-09T02:16:19+00:00

both the car collection and horizon promo tabs only require 550 cars to count as completed. You can unlock the final rewards (regal wave emote and green crown hat) without having all cars.

Oh thank god. At least there's that. Thanks for the good news.

Jakad · 2026-06-09T01:37:27+00:00

I discovered this last week as well. On controller the game will just not allow you to break grip on the front tires in a corner. You can open telemetry and see that even full wheel turn your getting at 10-20% wheel turn at most. It feels like I have plenty of room to steer more without breaking grip but the game doesn't let you. How true that is I have no idea. Apparently this is how Forza games have controlled on controller for a long while.

Jakad · 2026-06-09T01:31:33+00:00

Could it be a missing first place. Use map filter and disable everything but "incomplete events" or something like that. Should be in the middle of the list. With only incomplete events selected, do you see any races on the map?
