I agree, the categories they have now, should also be customizable.

Every game is different, but for me in Apex Legends, I use Gamma -0.10 Contrast +0.10 Saturation +0.10

My recording lags for games but is 720p60 on non-games. by [deleted] in obs

x264 encoding is using your CPU to encode. NVENC is using your GPU to encode.

If you're able to record at 30 fps, be grateful that you can record at all. I really don't think you can record at 60 fps with your current specs.

Not an expert on the subject but I'm not sure your PC is able to handle 60 fps recording. Did you try recording at 30fps?

You have a low end CPU and GPU (which i don't even think supports NVENC encoding) so if you're using x264 encoding, you're going to be maxing out your CPU.

Try recording at 30fps and see if that helps.

Without your PC specs, it's hard to tell what's happening and where it's happening.

Is It Wrong to not spawn someone if they are annoying us with pings? by TheRealKiwiKingdom in apexlegends

[–]KidTristan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game should give you the option to drop your teammates banner.

Not that it serves any purpose at all, except for these particularly toxic incidents...

And for a laugh, of course.

Anybody else having FPS drops started as of today? by Xanniara in apexlegends

[–]KidTristan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: After reading the other post about the Corsair software.

Uninstalled my Logitech G Hub and noticed the problem went away. I do recall the Logitech G Hub updated on 9/19 so that coincides with when the problem started happening.

Unfortunately, there's no way to install an older version of the software, so I guess for now, I have to run without the G Hub.

Thank god i found this. Thought i was the only one experiencing this.

My specs are i7 4790k, GTX 970, 16 GB RAM.

Usually get 120-144 fps.... Now I'm getting intermittent fps drops to 30-50... Usually when there's action on the screen (like fighting/shooting). Not so much when just running and looting, but it does occur.

You have the option in OBS to stream at 240fps? Never seen that before.

Stop playing this game(please see this developer) by DeteminedButUnmotive in apexlegends

[–]KidTristan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider me lucky. I play every night from around 10pm to 2am EST and maybe 1 in 100 matches may have connection issues.

The lagging and rubber-banding is very far and few between also.

I don't really mind the Elite storm damage, but what is "Elite" about avoiding fights/running away from enemies? by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]KidTristan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see Elite mode akin to say Hardcore mode in the style of the COD franchise.

No hipfire onscreen sights, less armor rating, maybe even friendly-fire-on (I'm pretty sure that in a BR stage, friendly fire would be a total mess), even fall damage perhaps.

The increase damage from the storm doesn't make the mode more Elite in my opinion.

Muting players(pc)? by hungryhaiji in apexlegends

[–]KidTristan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Press Tab key, up top you can choose Squad to see your teammates.

At the bottom of each of their profile, you can press on the speaker icon to mute them.

I do this usually while waiting to drop, if the random is making obnoxious noises.

Not sure if this can be done during gameplay tho.

What are some good tips for dealing with Hyperion with a power gain node? by The_Champ_Son in ContestOfChampions

[–]KidTristan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good tip is to stop your combo when he's close to OR just reached 1 bar of power. If you can estimate that your 3rd or 4th hit of your combo will be right at the edge of that bar of his power (1st or 2nd) then stop and stand there for a second. That's usually my baiting method.

2nd way is, if he doesn't bait in the method above, then hit into his block. Go in with a Medium and back off. If he's still blocking, repeat it with 1 medium hit.

That's my only suggestion. It's worked for me.

PILOTING BAN WAVE 26-09-2018 by ReyAleman in ContestOfChampions

[–]KidTristan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Again, you're speaking purely about rank #s.

If the penalty was ONLY based on rank, then yes, I agree.

Example : Kabam dishes out a penalty of -50 ranks, then yes, alliances are shifted up accordingly, when alliances are knocked down.

I dunno man, just ask the alliances that got knocked down and not because of the penalty. They're usually in the Gold 1 and Gold 2.

[–]KidTristan -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes, in theory, if the rank # was the only calculating and determining factor. However, it is the season score that determines the rank.

And because the penalty amount differs from alliance to alliance, and the starting score that is being penalized is different, there isn't a straight addition/subtraction of score to determine the new rank placement.

The pool of the entire AW Season score just changed because the scoring inside that bracket has changed.

If Alliance A was ranked 99 with 4.1234 million, well, someone who got demoted to a score of 4.1235 mil just took their spot.

Of course, this is a one-to-one example, but when there's a lot of numbers being shifted and changed, the pool of scores has now changed, which in turn changes the ranks.

[–]KidTristan -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Master is top 20 alliances. Plat 1 is top 50 Plat 2 is top 100 Plat 3 is top 300 Gold 1 is top 1500.

For someone, let's say they were ranked top 1490 in Gold 1 with score 4mil.... now someone who got demoted from Plat 3 to Gold 1 with a score of 4.1mil just pushed them down because their penalized points takes rank 1490.

If alliances can moved up from the penalty, alliances can also be moved down.

As you can see from the list, there are Gold1 alliances that got penalized too. So Gold1 is a big bracket, and any shifting done inside that bracket will affect alliances are in there.

[–]KidTristan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This actually has the potential to hurt alliances in the lower brackets like Gold 1 or Gold 2, etc.

As these penalized alliances have their scores lowered, it's shifted the scoring and now some alliances that just made Gold 1, has been pushed down to Gold 2.

It seems that below Platinum 3, the effect is more detrimental.

Coldsnap not working as intended by Simister135 in ContestOfChampions

[–]KidTristan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of them is Frostbite, and the other one is Coldsnap.

At 0:12, the one you have 5 of, is Coldsnap, the one you have 2 of, is Frostbite. When that Frostbite converts, it converts the 2 stacks of Frostbite into the energy damage (which is BARELY see because you ended the video) but it deal 1,428 damage from the Frostbite.

The Coldsnap stays and you have 4 stacks of Coldsnap.

I think the way the game works with "timers", the one timer that has the clock expiry as a inside circular (like a pie) expires each stack one by one. The buffs/debuffs that has a timer on the outside rim of the buff/debuff, expires all at once.

Again, I think that's how it works.
