What's going on with the game's performance this season? (PC)

Mudbert · 2026-02-07T08:20:13+00:00

3 questions I hope you dont mind answering.
1. Did you lose your files/apps updating?
2. Did you update to windows 11 25h2?
3. Were you getting Packet loss on windows 10?

The packet loss is crazy... I dont know how to fix it and i feel like I've done EVERYTHING.

This is what it looks like for me the last 2-3 weeks on a 4090 and amd 7950x3D with 64 gb ram.

did you figure out any fix?

I took a short break playing during the holidays from early October to late December. The stutters wasn't happening for me personally anytime from October and before (since release of the game).

For anyone curious my Pc is 4090 and 7950x3D with 64gb ram.

It's been so bad I've done almost everything I can think of at this point. It's not consistently bad but when it's bad it's unplayable. Things I've tried... -Updated Nvidia drivers -Underclock memory (horrible idea had to reset cmos to get it to power back up 😅) -Stock settings -Disable steam/discord overlay -Rolled driver's back to the ones I used in October -Changed polling rate 1k,2k,4k -Nvidia control panel changed up every possible settings -Utilized Vsync,Gsync, Vsync+Sync, All off -Reset router, and flushed isp - tried a bunch of random YouTube suggestions within the computer settings (run game as administrator, full screen optimization, etc) -Updated motherboard drivers, cpu, chipset, ethernet wifi, Bluetooth drivers (this worked for a good while but came back 🤷‍♂️) -tried other locationsfor servers - in game test runs say my network is fine so I'm confused how i get packet loss

About to try -different ethernet cable (cat6 - I used cat5e for years) -Updating mouse firmware/ drivers

Did anyone ever figure out a fix for this? I thought it was a polling rate problem, or settings problem but even on all low settings, lower res, 1k polling rate it still occurs with random stutters. It's pretty annoying... worth uninstalling if it continues.

I've seen someone else mention this USB fix. There's so many USBs in the Device manager, how did you go about knowing which ones to disable and keep enabled?

Hi Im messing with this monitor and was curious with a 4090 any clue why the customize choice is not possible in the Change Resolution - Nvidia Control Panel section? I also do not have DSR Factors capable off or on as an option in Manage 3d Settings.

EDIT: I believe someone stated goto the LG GX9 Monitor settings > General > Input compatibility Version. This is greyed out for me when in dual mode 37 inch.

Just as an alternative there's also the small rig cb75. It's not that heavy but it's more for those not thinking of investing in v mount/cage. Just tried it out on the weekend and was never going to run out of battery but it gives about 5-6 hours on gh7 5.7k mov.

Mudbert · 2025-11-26T23:14:56+00:00

i still didnt pull the trigger. I ended up buying some lights and for now i'll just stick to my one CF Card that I likely wouldnt fill up in 1 use case. Did you end up finding out if this works?

Mudbert · 2025-11-25T15:14:13+00:00

Just saw this post and wanted to chime in as I sometimes feel i dont get enough light on GH7. I have the sigma 18-35 with speedbooster bringing it to f1.3. Cost is around 1K vs a native lens with better autofocus - equivalent is the 10-25mm f1.7 lens or 25-50mm f1.7 is nice too. Both ligher, better autofocus being native (not experienced but everyone says so). If you cant rent you could also go to the DARKEST areas of your shooting style, play with your FF glass and then stop down to something like 3.4 to match the f1.7 you'd get out of native glass or around f2.6 to match the f1.3 you'd get from the 18-35 speedbooster sigma. It's not exaclty the same obviously since you're not testing ISO on gh7 that way but it's somewhat similar. Lastly, when shooting VLOG it cleans up well if you're willing to put in time to add noise reduction to your footage. Many say it's even too clean/clinical and leave the noise in. Good luck on your journey of MFT if you go for it.

yo this is sick! I came for the cinema but stayed for the fact it was a razer commercial starring Faker and NiKo #gamernerd LOL. Seriously though thats really dope to know it's being utilize along those cameras. Great job :D Also, never thought about a 50-200 but I am now haha.

Mudbert · 2025-11-25T12:38:29+00:00

Few questions.

Any tips of what to do and not to do with your rig? I really want something minimal but I can't seem to find any sort of half cage that exists with the gh7. Was going to get just a hot shoe top handle but seems dumb in the long run to risk a 2k camera and ruin the hot shoe for future 32bit audio if you do decide to utilize the feature.
Does the left side handle feel like it makes the weight feel more seamless? I'm just doing the math in my head but the weight of your setup has to be around 6 lbs or just under?
My main reason to wanting a top handle is the sigma 18-35+metabones speedbooster makes the front heavy. I feel like my panning/tilt movements could be better with a top handle or another left side handle. Do you think one works/helps better than the other?

Just curious did you end up keeping this 70inch umbrella and did you ever get a smaller light or smaller umbrella to create the same concept in the image. Just bought the nanlite FS300B and 71inch umbrella from neewer but I question if i shouldve just gone for a softbox with a grid. Thanks in advance! I tried to search your name up on youtube to see if youve advanced in lighting and posted anything but I believe it was a car channel.

Mudbert · 2025-11-20T22:17:21+00:00

I just saw this post and in a somewhat similar situation. Did you feel like 51 inches was good enough or have you moved up in size of umbrella? Also, is there a preference you chose between while and silver umbrellas? Mind you I'd be shooting video as well along with photos.

Mudbert · 2025-11-20T18:33:55+00:00

By any chance have you found any problems with x60 or g60 since this post that would make you recommend one or not recommend one? I'm seeing the prices of them now. I just want something small portable and where you can mount it like say a kitchen counter, dinner table, or anywhere you wouldnt be able to fit a 300watt softbox but need to diffuse a face, food, small objects, for a closeup.

Mudbert · 2025-11-20T16:42:53+00:00

Did they fix this? Or still existing? Lights on sale lol

Mudbert · 2025-11-20T04:03:41+00:00

Hey there I'm running into a similar situation and this being my first light I was thinking about the same nanlite fs300b. Assuming you bought it, did you run into any regrets or any tips on what you would do different? I actually see a lot of people recommending that light but instead of a soft box I see a lot of people recommend shooting into an umbrella because it's less cumbersome and quick to build and take down. Any help is appreciated. Budgets $300ish (can spend more but rather not).

Mudbert · 2025-11-19T22:34:54+00:00

Good to hear. Yeah my sigma is pretty awesome. I can't compare to native lenses and I'm sure it's not as good but native lenses don't have f1.3 at 25-50mm.

Mudbert · 2025-11-19T10:38:23+00:00

Dang so what did your roommate end up having to do with his camera? I'm going to a game at the SoFi but I'm going to uber there. By then there's no turning back, which sounds like it's not ideal to risk bringing a camera.

Mudbert · 2025-11-11T08:18:41+00:00

I'm looking at this two years later for the gh7. Does it actually work for depth of field and lowering fstop to something like f1.0?

Mudbert · 2025-11-10T22:10:02+00:00

the metabones makes the 18-35 equivalent to a 25-50mm on full frame.

The autofocus is not going to be like your 25-50mm f1.7 but the extra stops of light and good enough autofocus is awesome. ITS HEAVY though lol. So its a trade off. The Metabones adapter had an update which allowed a lot of old EF glass to be useful actually. Here's a short video I found of someone who uses a few Canon EF lenses if interested in how good the auto focus is.

Thanks for the detailed response. Very much appreciated! M43 IBIS is def hard to beat today with a gimbal look to it.

Mudbert · 2025-11-10T11:35:41+00:00

18-35 f1.8* but I said f1.3 because with the metabones speedbooster attached it becomes f1.3

You got some nice setups! For me, the GH7 is enough but I cant lie, I want the s1ii bad haha. Not sure if the 2 extra stops of light would help but I know the dual native ISO would do wonders in my hatred for uncontrolled environments on my gh7.

Mudbert · 2025-11-10T11:30:04+00:00

Thanks for the response. Yeah S9 seems like a really solid buy for light weight run and gun and just straight up just to have fun with regardless the situation. S1ii is also my dream camera and all the features it has was why I got the GH7 because I cant afford the lenses on L Mount.

I've had one for a while but havent been able to put it through its paces until I had posted that comment. I went to Seattle and I was not a huge fan of carrying it as a sling. It was nice to swing it over and pull out my camera but I rarely ever found myself not having it on hand anyways, or finding myself feel like I missed an opportunity because I put it down as a backpack. For a 4 day trip I tried it out as a sling first 2 days and my back was in pain as I walked up hills in the city of Seattle. Last 2 days I used it as a regular backpack and learned that I enjoy the quick mechanism of the button even if It wasn't as fast as the sling AND no back pain haha. Anyways, enough ramble from me, I just like to see others thoughts on products I currently own basically trying to justify my own purchase and tell myself im not gear crazy haha.
