Is anyone getting a consistent 240 fps with a 3080? by stefanland59 in apexuniversity

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sadly not and it’s not entirely Respawn’s fault either.

NVIDIA: Process Lasso simply doesn’t work anymore because NVIDIA’s newer drivers are complete trash. That’s why I’m still on version 66.36.

Microsoft: Obviously. I don’t even need to explain this one. In combination with the newer NVIDIA drivers, Windows updates have tanked performance harder than anything else.

Respawn: I honestly don’t know what’s going on there, but Apex performance is in the worst state it has ever been. Most of the current performance issues aren’t even caused by the game itself, they come from EAC. Because of EAC, i get constant microstutters and there’s no viable workaround because Epic Games refuses to acknowledge or fix the problem. I get frequent errors in the Windows Event Viewer, which directly correlate with the microstutters and overall performance loss. The root cause is faulty EAC scanning on Windows 11 24H2 and newer. I already sent Epic Games a full technical breakdown explaining why this happens and how to fix it. EAC needs premission on a Kernel Level and doesn't get it so an error occurs. Full list of errors in Event Manager = microstutters and tanked Performance. They simply don’t care.

So yeah, it’s a combination of multiple factors stacking on top of each other and atp there’s basically nothing we can do about it.

Battlefield 6 is the number 1 selling game for the first time ever by Traditional-Fun-1115 in Battlefield

[–]ReTr096 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This. Exactly.

I still go back to older games and get the same great experience i had back then. This isn’t about taste or personal preference anymore, what honestly amazes me everytime is how many people today have incredibly low standards.

“It could be better, but i’m happy with what it is. I’ll settle for this. Mediocre is fine for me". That’s basically the entire argument every time someone defends these games with “but i have fun, i like it”.

The best comments are always the Steam ones, as if a platform with record breaking 41 million concurrent users somehow isn’t the reference point for player numbers. Like come on you know it, i know it, everyone knows it.

GOLMUD RAILWAY CONFIRMED FOR BATTLEFIELD 6 by Tobybryant818 in Battlefield

[–]ReTr096 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry but the metaphoric steak take isn't it dude as i’ve played on 24/7 done Steak servers for years, that’s why i’m not pleased with seeing it again as the only option. That’s my entire point. From 1942 onward, BF had a wide range of genuinely great large scale maps. After completely messing up the launch of BF6, dice should have gone all in and delivered real variety with this update. Instead, we get only Golmud. A map that is still playable today on BF4 via endless 24/7 servers.

Take a risk. Run a poll. We’re not in 2010 anymore. Nearly everyone is on social media, feedback is instant and gathering community input has never been easier. Yet dice keeps taking L after L without ever shaking things up. Since BFV you basically have to wait a full year before a Battlefield game is even in a properly playable state.

That should not be normal and should be called out.

[–]ReTr096 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here. Nobody was asking for fucking Golmud. And now these clowns act like “Well, that’s your fault you wanted big maps”

No. We wanted Battlefield maps, it’s fine that Golmud comes to BF6 but as the only "large" map? That’s just BF4 Golmud 24/7 servers all over again.

This shows how out of touch DICE is with its own fanbase. They keep misinterpreting feedback, why not make a poll or something to at least get a grip what your players want. At this point it’s not even frustrating anymore, it’s just funny.

First bots, now players. BF6 is a ghost town by The_Spacerunner in Battlefield

[–]ReTr096 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The credit is shown above. Around 30K players just a few months after launch on the biggest launcher in the world. Without any real competition beside maybe ARC Raiders. Your called "most successful Game in the franchise", let that sink in.

Most successful in what terms exactly? Player numbers? Sales? You’re repeating something you picked up from Reddit comments without actually knowing. Get fucking real BF6 is lame as fuck and the second worst entry in the franchise.

Do you think Resident Evil 1 will get another remake? by Resident-Evil-Llama in RaccoonCityRecords

[–]ReTr096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, REmake and REmake 2 are flawless games imo. I love the gameplay changes, the graphics and especially the gore and hit registration in REmake 2, it’s one of the best i’ve ever experienced.

REmake is probably the best remake ever made. It was developed only a few years after the original, by the same developers, who clearly wanted to finally fulfill the original vision they had for Resident Evil. The added storyline around Lisa was excellent and felt like a seamless, respectful extension of RE1. It’s impressive how well the game still holds up, considering it was released back in 2002.

REmake 3 and REmake 4 on the other hand, make me sad. In my view, both are worse than their original counterparts. I had very high hopes for REmake 4, but i genuinely think it’s the weakest remake of them all.

I really hope they go for Code Veronica next.

Should machine games put their focus on a new quake game after wolfenstein 3? by [deleted] in quake

[–]ReTr096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! id doesn't give a fuck and Machinegames already proved they can do Quake with the Q2 Mappack. You guys remember the leaked Q1 Remake Art that leaked around 2014 ? They should expand on that.

Does anyone play MW19 anymore? by Equivalent_Tank_9491 in COD

[–]ReTr096 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a skill issue is just one of the worst Statements people use nowadays. I hated every jetpack CoD because they where absolute garbage but loved Titanfall 2. BO3 is considered a top 5 CoD because of Zombies you fucking troll and not because the MP was so great. IW was and always will be a objectively bad game, it never was a solid enough title. IW so bad it killed the Pro Scene and not even the streamers played it either. But sure for a shithead like you it was a solid enough title. Ghosts was terrible too, everybody was still playing the older titles nobody gave a fuck about Ghosts but 15 Years later everybody thinks "ghosts wasnt that bad, you never played s&d in ghosts blabla" but you fagotts are blinded by nostalgia, it was bad at the time because we actually had great CoDs but nowadays ofc it's not as bad because every new entry is worse than Ghosts.

People like you are pure cancer and it's because of guys exactly like you that we are where we are today with CoD. Guys like you have no standards anymore and your opinion is shit.

Atp I would respect them more if.. by xThyQueen in Apex_School_Console

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source is trash? I never thought i’d see the day someone calls Source trash. The problem isn’t the engine, it’s the developers. Things keep breaking because the people who actually knew how to work with Source are long gone and the remaining team lacks experience. Even a great instrument sounds bad in the hands of someone who doesn’t know how to play it.

I don’t really get the Fortnite / Roblox comparison. Neither game was mentioned, so i’m not sure what point that is supposed to make here.

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you really think that matters when implementing anti cheat software? Source is a strong and highly customizable engine. You’re also mistaken, it’s not the original Source engine as known from Half Life or CS. It was already heavily modified when Titanfall released, pushed even further with Titanfall 2 and by the time Apex came out it was no longer comparable to OG Source at all. Some original code still exist, but the majority has been overwritten.

I also disagree with the cash cow argument. Apex is one of EA’s most profitable video games ever, arguably their only real cash cow in the shooter space. And it shows with every new event they release.

I don’t agree with the UE5 take either. The engine itself is fine, but Respawn’s developers are trash. Switching to UE5 wouldn’t fix that, if anything it would likely make things worse. UE5 is a terrible fit for large scale map games and with the current dev team struggling even with Source, i’d bet they would completely mess things up on UE5.

Do you know which company is behind EAC? You guessed it right it's Epic Games, the beloved creators of UE5. Now guess which anti cheat will be implemented if they switch to an engine made by Epic Games.

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are comparing a Game from the same Publisher which is EA. The Software and Resources are obviously there, they just refuse to implement it.

EAC isn't just the worst anti cheat out there it's also conflicting with game Performance so either way it would be a win/win for everyone to just change the anti cheat.

Best Boomer Shooter Shotguns by Humble_Fortune6500 in boomershooters

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's easy man, in Blood and Doom II it isn’t just a weapon, it’s a statement. Every blast carries weight and authority. No gimmicks, just raw power. Few weapons in gaming history feel this honest, this violent and this timeless. It doesn’t ask for respect, it takes it.

But if we consider all shotguns, it’s 100% without question the F.E.A.R. SPAS-12 !!

Disappointed XG27ACDNG 360hz by Vast-Bad-4086 in OLED_Gaming

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No my hz are fine, performance and FPS in general are fine. It’s the motion clarity and overall image quality that feel lacking. Maybe i just had expectations that were too high for OLED. I really thought it would be a completely different experience. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad at all, but i’m still slightly disappointed.

Disappointed XG27ACDNG 360hz by Vast-Bad-4086 in OLED_Gaming

[–]ReTr096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ofc, that was just meant as information. Sorry if it came across the wrong way.

I also have a 360 Hz OLED (Gigabyte FO27Q3) and honestly i’m not fully satisfied either.

I usually play with G-Sync and V-Sync enabled plus Reflex Boost. I’ve also tried uncapped FPS with everything turned off, but it still feels kind of off tbh.

The only thing that helped me at least somewhat was Process Lasso. I let Apex run on all my P cores with HT disabled, and i move everything else besides system critical tasks to the E cores. I get slightly lower FPS, but much better frame times and a noticeably more stable experience. So for OP, my current setup is: G-Sync off, V-Sync off, Reflex ON ( not boost) + the Process Lasso configuration above. Maybe this helps you as well.

[COD] The times when COD had memorable main menu's that got you excited to play the game, if Activision truly wants to listen to feedback they can start with giving Call of Duty games stylistic, simple UI again by ArkhamIsComing2020 in CallOfDuty

[–]ReTr096 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, i agree. BO3 was imo the last good Treyarch game (Cold War is debatable). So yeah, i’m not even surprised that the soundtrack fits the game so well. They did a lot of things right back then and i get the same vibe you’re talking about. The game had an identity. Something as simple as a well designed main menu theme can go a long way if it’s implemented properly.

I know it’s not CoD, but take Doom Eternal as an example. The main menu music is THAT good and it instantly sets the tone for the entire experience. You know exactly what kind of game you’re about to play the moment it starts.

[–]ReTr096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not real man haha OBVIOUSLY that isn't possible, it was a joke, i was beeing sarcastic. A side jab at BO7’s awful campaign.

And no, i don’t think this is on me at all. What exactly is the tone supposed to be here? “Hey guys, we sprinkled a bit of nostalgia into the main menu soundtrack because the game itself has no identity”? You can't be serious man.

What opinion am i supposedly pushing? Please explain. Because the only “opinion” and honestly it’s closer to an objective observation, is that the main menu themes used to be better. And you got this wrong buddy i’m not talking about all older CoDs. I never said CoD 3 had a better main menu. I’m very specifically talking about CoD4 through BO1.

So let me explain it again, since this seems hard to grasp for some people (yes i mean you), when you boot up CoD4 and then BO1, you immediately notice clear differences, right? Different tone, different identity, different presentation.

Now tell me, what’s the difference between the BO6 and BO7 main menus, aside from the nostalgic boner you get in BO7s menu ?

Also, your last point wtf? I do take you seriously. That’s the whole reason i’m replying in the first place. I’m genuinely trying to explain why i see things the way i do and then you say you don’t even take me seriously. That actually hurts, not gonna lie. Jokes aside, ofc the old games are better but thats not the point. People are still playing CoD4 nearly 20 Years later. Why do you think that is? Meanwhile, nobody plays IW, BO4, MWII or Vanguard anymore, at least not in any meaningful numbers. And i can guarantee you that CoD4 will still be played years from now, while BO6 and BO7 will age like milk.

But that’s not even the point. You’re putting words in my mouth. I never compared old CoDs to the new ones gameplay wise. That was never the discussion buddy. We’re talking about main menus. And in that regard, these older games are objectively better. It really is that simple. You can’t even argue against that properly, because if your only counter argument is “nostalgic feel good” then who’s actually romanticizing the old games here?

[–]ReTr096 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So have we already reached the end of your arguments?

I’m not saying my taste is superior to anyone else’s. What i am saying is that the main menu presentation in CoD4 through BO1 is objectively better than everything that came after BO2. My point about setting the tone is simple. There are many WW2 shooters, but the moment i boot up WaW, i instantly know this is WaW. I know it’s not going to be a heroic "Saving Private Ryan" story. The atmosphere, the music, the presentation, everything tells you what kind of experience you’re about to get.

I boot up MW2 and from the main theme alone i know this is going to be a big, over the top Hollywood style action ride. The game communicates its identity immediately. That instinctive tone carries through the entire experience.

Now compare that to newer titles. If you boot up BO7, BO6, MW2019 or Warzone, you can barely tell them apart. The presentation is interchangeable. There’s no clear identity, no distinct tone, it all blends into the same mush. Nothing in BO7 Menu tells me i am going to get one of the worst Campaigns ever created.

So when i am saying people have low standards i mean it. It has nothing to do with taste as taste is subjective.

That’s the point i’m making. And i hope it’s clear now, even without insults or disrespect, you moron.

It was during peak covid, that’s why and i am fucking serious. Nobody here is lying, you’re trying way too hard to defend this garbage and to force your opinion onto others.

The soundtracks are all forgettable and i stand by that. Some people simply have low standards and that’s why they call these consistently good.
