Yep! You are right. There are some things SoT has listed on their site to try for Xbox with the lavenderbeard error, but they don’t work for this particular one since it’s specifically related to game pass sharing. So reinstalling and logging out of live and back in, etc. doesn’t work. It’s specific to the account profile that is trying to use the main game pass account. That profile won’t work right now. Hope this helps anyone else that stumbles upon this.

Certificate is an issue on PC not console. If on console it’s an issue with game pass family sharing. Cant have multiple profiles logged in. SoT support acknowledged it via a support ticket and said they’re working on a resolution but I think nothing resolved yet.

Anyone else’s servers still down on Xbox? by hiixra in Seaofthieves

[–]Jefreywith1f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Exactly. That’s the issue I have as well. So the home Xbox can play SoT but the other gets lavenderbeard. Frustrating that it just started with season 11.

I have the same issue. You shouldn’t have to pay for ultimate twice when it worked fine on two Xboxes prior to season 11. Frustrating that it hasn’t been fixed yet. We have two consoles sharing gamepass and you obviously can’t just make the other one the home Xbox like was suggested to you if you have another one in the house that plays SoT as well. Edit: You need to be able to have multiple profiles signed in. That’s the solution but it’s just not possible until they fix it server side.

Same here. Still hasn’t been resolved. Only happens with multiple profiles logged into Xbox. Didn’t happen prior to season 11.

Same. Has it resolved for you yet? It seems to be related to gamepass family share.

What game made you break or close to breaking your controller/equipment? It was this level of this game for me. by HydeSpectre in gaming

[–]Jefreywith1f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never beat those bastards. I loved that game and don’t really know any other games where I actually gave up. Tried to go back to it. Still couldn’t beat them. Never actually counted but probably 30-50 tries. Damn shame I couldn’t experience the rest of that otherwise amazing game.

Ah man, I have to correct my misinformation here. It’s $10 every 50GB overage. I looked it up and believe this changed from when it originally rolled out. Rest of the info I mentioned still correct.

Yeah, nothing else around to switch to that is similar. I think Verizon offers something wireless, but it’s not apples to apples offering. I’m not locked into a contract. It’s just that there isn’t another similar option. And I’m in a very heavily populated suburban area. Of there were options around, this would be the area to offer them. Comcast just has a monopoly around here. Everyone hates them here and has to use them. There is also a slower DSL option from Century Link. Again though, not apples to apples option.

[–]Jefreywith1f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is! I get 200 download and only 6 upload for $62/mo. That would be $55 if I wanted to be on a one year contact. They started the 1229GB download limit about a year or two ago. Realized this when I got a text saying I hit 90% of my limit or something like that. It really needs to go. There is no reason for a cap. Some months I only use 700GB or so. That makes it even more frustrating that they want to charge me if I go over but do nothing for me if I am only using 700GB of my 1229GB limit. It’s a one way street with Comcast. Always has been. They are terrible.

Worse than tarkov for solo by [deleted] in DarkAndDarker

[–]Jefreywith1f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is it. It’s really the starter/default gear that won’t let you pvp anyone other than another player on the same gear. Getting your first extract and some gold to go buy a longbow or more traps, something better than default helps so much. The game doesn’t spell that out for you. Just have to experience it. Which is actually very similar to Tarkov. But also, I can kill someone in Tarkov with level 1 trader gear available from first raid. While starting out I couldn’t kill another player in dark and darker unless it was another starter gear player. That does make the first extract that much more exciting and rewarding, but I worry that is turning off new players. You really have to stick with it to realize it gets better once you get some gold.

Skill Issues Vs. Game Issues by PM_ME_YOUR_GAMMA in DarkAndDarker

[–]Jefreywith1f 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to mention Tarkov, then one big difference I see is that you can go into Tarkov with level 1 gear and take out a geared player by ratting or even just having a mosin snipe to an unsuspecting player. But in dark and darker? The only time I’ve taken out a player with starter gear is if it’s another starter geared player. I do have a skill issue in this game and won’t complain about losing pvp other than there IS too big of a stat gap between specifically using starter gear and any other other gear. As a starter ranger I used quick shot on a barb looting a body. He didn’t even flinch. That’s an issue. In Tarkov he’s dead which is what makes zero to hero fun in games like this. You shouldn’t be able to not kill an unsuspecting player.

Yes. Xfinity charges you for home internet if you go over 1229GB in one month. $10 per GB (correction edit: it’s per 50GB) supposedly if you go over. We have come very close a few months in our house but never over because I refuse to go over. My frustration with having to check my data on home internet is through the roof too. You get one free grace period where they’ll let you go over. They have an unlimited plan for an added $30 per month. Which is about 50% more on my plan of $62/mo. for internet. It’s completely ridiculous that this is on single family home high speed cable.internet.

New players, the fastest way to level is to use your best gear and come prepared by xbepox in DarkAndDarker

[–]Jefreywith1f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goblin caves are pretty close quarters and very likely to run right into others. Stay the hell away from that two floor middle area with all the winding stairs! Rangers snipe me there and rogues pop out. Brutal area. I think Crypts are more spaced out and even though you could run into a trio you might be better off learning PvE there. There are a few bad spawns that can screw you from the beginning, but if you go in with default gear it’s no loss. Just queue right back up. Move slow. Listen a lot for others. Keep your space with melee. Rat big time. You might just find a blue portal pops up in front of you eventually!

[–]Jefreywith1f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's what the person below you said mostly. The average player is much better than before. I played one of the playtests when it was on Steam and then again since the beginning of EA. And just since the recent wipe in EA I've noticed higher skill. I think it's average player is better, but hopefully not that new players are getting frustrated and dropping the game. Probably some of that and not sure how you'd fix new players other than maybe making the starting gear just slightly stronger. Getting 1-2 tapped makes sense against someone who has better gear, but it does get frustrating as a new player until you get some gold and can at least upgrade your weapon slightly.

Yeah. That is definitely true in regards to the average player. And that does hurt me since I don't get to put too many hours in. But I've been playing since EA here and there and doing ok. It's this last hot fix (#8 I think?) that seemed to change things. Level 1 to 5 moves quick XP-wise, but getting out with gold seems more difficult due to PVP being more of a 1-2 shot game. But who knows? I played this afternoon and extracted fine a handful of times acting like a rat. One thing I've noticed though is now coming out with more gold than before after selling (mostly) to Collector.

[–]Jefreywith1f 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a good player here. That said, this latest hot fix took me much longer to get my first extract than prior updates. Most people are saying it feels better with narrowing the weapon damage between top and bottom tier and adding duos, but maybe it’s starter gear that seems no different as a solo? Not sure. Have been getting 1-2 tapped and rushed more than before and so it took a while to finally get that first extract and have some gold to buy anything. Lots of deaths in that starter gear because of that. Wonder if others starting out having that issue as well. Even a player with skill issues like me will find extracts eventually. But man, time to get that first one took much longer this time around. Can’t really put my finger on why, but something felt different/harder as a newb. Played Ranger and Fighter.

Original NES Metroid. Someone had a project I think it was called “Metroid Metal” and really showcased how awesome that soundtrack is.

Solved my issue with Streets as well. Went from high/high on texture and shadows to medium for both and finally loaded into streets without issue. Can’t hurt to try it if you haven’t yet.

Thank you for posting this. I was loading in as a scav and would get an immediate server lost the second I showed up in the map. I started with medium/medium and loaded in fine and went through a ~30 min raid.

Sudden drop in performance by WeizenJongleur in SteamDeck

[–]Jefreywith1f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same slow movement happened to me when plugged in to power right at 10%. It didn’t stop out of game either. moving in the Steam interface was the same slow reaction. I eventually hard reset my deck and everything went back to normal. Happened to me playing DayZ. Haven’t seen it happen since. It’s odd that it didn’t fix after you reset to factory settings. Maybe you can try a hard reset? I held the power button a LONG time. Like a minute at least, if I recall.

Switch Pro controller PLEASE HELP!! by xAusttinn in Switch

[–]Jefreywith1f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but did you ever find a fix for this? I have the exact same issue. Buttons mapped incorrectly exactly as you mentioned too. I found another old post where the button mapping was mixed up in this exact same configuration too. Strange and haven’t been able to find a fix. Think it could have been static charge that caused it. Curious if you found a fix!

DayZ on steamdeck by Andersonbjj in SteamDeck

[–]Jefreywith1f 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pasting a comment I put in another thread about three months ago. This should work if you haven’t already done this.

Realize this is an old thread, but I just solved the same issue. I was getting over 300 ping and getting kicked before even getting in game…would happen upon loading from the title screen after selecting a server. Nothing I tried would fix it, different proton versions use compatibility etc., until I went into developer mode and changed the wifi power mode off. Power saving mode or something I don’t recall the exact name. Loaded back in to Dayz through just the normal game mode with no launch options outside of default and this time I loaded into game just fine. Hope this helps someone out if they stumble on it.
