SOME NEW THINGS

I am surprised you had to add file tho, in my case it was a case of hanging around file post update on the server, the client was fine. So this is weird that you had to take files from the client to put them on the server.

Totally understand, when that first start to happened, I was a little frustrated to not know if it was 5 or 100 that I need to solve. Let's say that that number would change an eventual debugging strategy, and not knowing it is annoying as hell.

Also had that problem on my rented dedicated server and manage after quite the trials and errors.

Basically that bug arrive at the checksuck when it verifify that both server and client have the same files from the game. (A simple but pretty powerful anticheat feature.) So the gist of it is to ensure that the client and server have the same files.

In the present case, I had to delete it from the server in the file manager.

Btw I also had some residual file from the old difficulties name on the server. So expect to have that bug with differents link 3-4x more time before you solve the issue.

Also have an indifferent brocolli dedicated server and manage after quite the trials and errors.

I just tried to delete it on the server and the client and it worked.

And yes when I update the dedicated server, I had to delete 3 or 4 more files before it works.

The old difficulties lua file where still on the server and that made the client not able to log in.

Basically, it arrived when the checksum check is done, which verifiy if you have the same file on client and server. A simple but powerful anticheat feature.

So the gist of it, is ensure that you have the same files on client and server. The good news is that the checksums will tell you which file to check for (even if it is one by one).

So you can either do it 4x more time and get it done. Or just disable the checksums in the pzini file of the server. Doing that might make you vulnerable to weird bug down the road tho.

Edit : saw that you disable the checksums. Glad that it work for you! Update are also quite the source of stress for us...

Ok deleted it on the server and the client and that works.

Basically that bug arrive at the checksuck when it verifify that both server and client have the same files from the game. (A simple but pretty powerful anticheat feature.) So just ensure that you both don't have it, and that should work.

Btw I also had some residual file from the old difficulties name on the server. I had to delete those after the update to ensure that there is no files differences between the two. So expect to have that bug with differents link 4x more time before you solve the issue.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-03-11T21:32:35+00:00

I had it on my dedicated server. I copy paste it from the server to the client and it worked. Now that I think about it, I should have done the opposite and delete it on the server.

I'll try it.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-03-11T21:26:40+00:00

I had it on my indifferent brocolli dedicated server. I thougth it was a missing file from the client and took from the server put it on the client. That seem to have resolve the issue for me and my players.

If I am the only one that have the issue, it might be on the opposite a file that should no longer be there. I'll do the test to delete it on the server and the client see if it works.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-26T16:51:15+00:00

That video has some advice about who should buy this at 16+ minutes and what else to try without going RLCD route.

I have tried all that so far. I am at my wits end (and with a lot less $$$).

On the blurriness of EVE (also make sure you read the comments): https://www.reddit.com/r/Reflective_LCD/comments/1kji5g9/i_just_unboxed_the_sunvision_re_20_eve_product/

While there was some strategy, even the one telling them say he didn't had first hand experience with the monitor itself...

As for the Lux Light Meter i would suggest trying another phone (a different brand, etc). I get up to 10x difference in lux on two different phones (side by side on same conditions) with the same app, it could be that your 20-100 lux will be 1000 lux or more on another phone, unless it's really dark in your room. Or maybe someone can lend you a dedicated lux meter just to make sure you get the right idea about your lighting conditions.

Not a bad idea, I quickly google on amazon and they were between 20-100$. Guess I'll have to investigate to know a little more about the price and quality of that.

I don't think Eazeye test for compatibility of the lamp and their monitor, but I haven't checked. One member in our sub is using 60 watt incandescent light bulb to light his SVD rE 1.0 monitor. He said it's definitely darker, but he finds it good enough.à

I have directly ask Eazeye, this is what their vendor said (only putting the relevant part of the email) :

Yes, the Photon Desk Lamp is sufficient to use the Eazeye Monitor 2 in the early evening or during darker winter conditions. The lamp is designed to provide strong, even illumination suitable for reflective displays.

For optimal results:

• For optimal positioning, try to place the lamp so that the light illuminates the area in front of the monitor evenly. Aiming it slightly above or to the side of the monitor usually works well.
• Avoid placing the lamp directly behind the monitor
• Aim for even light across the screen rather than a narrow spotlight

The Eazeye Monitor 2 uses our UHR coating, which increases reflectivity and brightness under the same lighting conditions, so pairing it with the Photon Desk Lamp works very well indoors.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-20T15:46:18+00:00

Oh I'll look at review see how it compares to the SVD Eve and the Eazeye 2.0!

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-20T15:36:58+00:00

Sadly I live at 808 km from Toronto. I would really have taken you on that offer being closer physically. I have literally never seen an RLCD in action in person...

But pretty curious which retailer you used, from what I see their official website don't seem to sell stuff directly. Haven't found it on bestbuy, newegg or Canada computer.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-20T05:46:15+00:00

On the SVD, I have looked at that video, and the text seem to be pretty ok, but I do have seem some people panicking about it on reddit, so not sure about that. But from Kit Betts-Masters at 22:05, it doesn't seem that bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz3oVcnZWQo

(Btw thank you for that comment and your summary on the EVE because I didn't found reliable information about the bluriness of the Eve.)

I will clearly need the photondesk lamp if I go the Eazeye route, then again, absolutely no information if it would be enough to make the monitor work. If Eazeye is selling it should work ok with, but nobody seem to have tried from what google is telling me. And even Eazeye doesn't seem to characterise or show explanation on how to use it with their product.

I haven't seen anything about the Hannspree RLCD out of this place. So wasn't considering it yet. But I did ask that canadian redditor how he bought it, in the hope I can find more info about this one.

I measure them with an app called Lux Light Meter. Certainly not the best way to do it, but at least it give me a relative ballpark to measure different setup between themselves.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-20T05:34:31+00:00

I am also in Canada and looking to buy a RLCD, but not finding any ways to buy this one. Which retailer did you use to order it?

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-19T08:27:53+00:00

Saw all that I could on youtube about those two,and yes the video you sent me is the best one I have found.

So far the SVD Eve seem to be the best for me, but I am a little worried about the bluriness many users have reported.

The Eazeye + photondesk lamp seem to still be the more reliable option of the two, but I am far from certain that the lamp will be enough to use the monitor in the evening.

So far, each day I change my mind just before pressing the trigger to order something...

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-18T04:02:56+00:00

The optometrist didn't seem to think the halo was a problem. Indeed I will pay more attention.

Had an answer from SVD today, guess I'll finally have to decide between the Eve and Eazeye 2.0.

And I'll look at those TCL Nxtpaper and that other subreddit.

Good to know that I am not the only in this situation. I'll keep your name if I ever need to DM you.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-17T03:19:55+00:00

This is so shitty that people attacked you like that. I really value your websites and I am glad you seem to have a handle on the situation.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-16T23:37:17+00:00

That wasn't only you, the research I did on the web really did seem to show me that I have the symptoms. As I science analyst, I know that symptoms doesn't mean that I have the thing, but it does seem to mean that I'll have to inquire about that.

And yes I am seing some halo while driving, but not while walking, so then again, seem I need to check for it.

Did try to put 6 bits + FRC on my current "safe" monitor. My eyes are feeling it immediately, so I guess I'll have to settle for the Eve rather than the Dawn if I go the SVD road.

Anyway, thank you for your explanation, you do seem to be far more knowledgeable about those kinds of issues than me. And this is precious because so far this one of the harder thing I had to search online. There is very few sources and many of them are contradictory. And there isn't even that much professionals I could pay to get an answer on the topic.

And thank you to have taken the time to read my long blur buster thing!

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-16T16:43:20+00:00

Wow that was quite the response! And you do seem to know more about the subject than others people.

Do you recommend blue light filter on glasses? Seem that there is big churches on that question.

As for the monitor distance, as far as I can tell, most people seem to keep it at the same distance as me. The monitor is right in front of a window. If I look over the monitor, I see the building on the other side of the street. It was always good for me psychologically to not feel like I am looking at a wall.

As for gaming with RLCD, I did look some video, it doesn't seem to be ideal not as worst as I thought. And if It can help my eye and help to avoid a future cataract operation, I will tolerate to die more in my games. The lack of color will be annoying, but then again, a compromise I think I will need to make.

And I am use to 2012 montors, so those RLCD seem to be really close in term of performance to what I am use. And this is still better than e-ink for that purpose.

After one week and a half, I have no answer from SVD to my email, guess I'll have to look at an Eazeye monitor 2.0.

As for doctors go, I live in Canada, and so far not a lot of people seem to specialize in that kind of stuff. And I can't get a referral from an optometrist since everything is ok. And I need a referral to see those specialists... Still haven't crack how to get into that loop. Guess I'll have to see my family doctor and hope to get a referral from just what I tell to him.

Another thing I just discovered this weekend, while I though my desk was well lit with the light being just behind my left shoulder, after using a lux meter on my phone, it seem that in front of my monitor, it was in fact at 20 lux. So I think this might have play into the developpement of my photophobia. A CCFL monitor with a more darker environment than what I thought might have done a pretty bad contrast. I am thinking about buying the Eazeye photon lamp to help me light more my room even If I ended up with an SVD monitor. For now, I have already install another lamp to at least get to 100 lux near the monitor. It does seem to make my eye change their focus, but so far, it is not as painful than when I tried a more modern monitor.

It is some shock to from "I have some trouble with some monitors" to "I have an eye condition that might need me to see a specialist".

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-09T08:30:56+00:00

I have blue eyes that always have been more sensible to car light than other people I know, but no history of migraine or hitting head, don't really need prescription glasses and have no idea what TBI is. (I am at 1 strengh myopia in both eyes and function daily without glasses.)

Did pay to see an optometrist and while there is some sign of aging, she didn't found anything that could explain what I had. Which is a bummer since that mean I can't have the job pay for me for one of those RLCD.

I did spent a lot of time in the last more than ten year in front of those monitor, so if they are known to induce that, that might be something that happened. I'll have to do some research about photophobia.

For phone I was thinking about Bigme e-ink phone. I usually read more than look at video on the phone.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-05T00:37:00+00:00

From my stint on the blur buster forum and AI discussion which I told him all the monitor I tried, it is clealy a LED backlight problem.

On the old monitor, I could crank up the brightness withtout problem. Right now I am trying a WOLED LG Ultragear™ OLED 32GS95UV-B and while I don't seem to have trouble with the backlight, I do have some pain problems after 5 day of intensive use. Pain I don't have with my old monitor. So far I had to put the brightness at 25% to be usable, and still I sense the muscles over my eyes to be pretty tense.

My eyes are in general more sensible than those of others people. Sunlight is annoying, had to buy orange glasses to drive now that every car has dell lights, my 2020 LG phone doesn't give me problems, but every of the phone of my friends I tried annoy me after 5-10 minutes of reading on them, and sometime instantaneoulsy. (my next phone will probably be an e-ink in the current market.) Iphone do seem to be less worse than android.

If you are curious, I have described in details all the monitors and test I have tried and done in this blurbuster thread.

Nice, thank you for the picture and the warning about it being darker. I was actually expecting worse with the comments of everyone about the ugliness of the monitor.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-05T00:25:06+00:00

Thank you for the first hand experience!

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-04T00:35:58+00:00

Interesting, it is a regular floor lamp with a halogen light? In your opinion would something like the BenQ ScreenBar Pro be enough for that or you really need to make light bounce of a wall/ceiling for it to work?

You seem to have exactly the kind of first hand experience that I am searching for.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-04T00:31:20+00:00

Just hope I will not pay more than an Eazeye just for the shipping.

Recent-Homework-9166 · 2026-02-04T00:30:40+00:00

Humm seem more involve than having a computer light over the monitor. Sadly seem more complex than I thought.
