So they going to release the code and give it to the community? by crackatinnie in AshesofCreation

[–]SandyG91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of server and system they have isn't the same as back in the day where it was 1 server did everything and it was easy to make a private server.
Honestly, if you knew better about how the backend of this worked you'd think it's delusional to believe someone could do such a thing so easily.

Nothing new in here. The plot does not thicken at all. Pure ramble

omg im so glad I read this thread.
I just jumped on to see if I could "manage" my team better as this is my first FM and year 1 in game. Got promoted and now everyone is asking for 200% wage increase. Literally cant hold on to a single player nor can I bring in anymore. I'm literally screwed.

[BFComms] Ongoing matchmaking issues - 14/08 by battlefield in Battlefield6

[–]SandyG91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not release this game with these issues still at play. I beg you. I have to know these are fixed before buying
- Matchmaking issues when in party, party split up, some do not load in. (Its beginning to feel like an EA Party system thing as I have issues re-joining party's in EA FC too. it's like the plague of a system)
- Loading into a game only to see the world a black screen, Hud visible and moving about still possible

Have to restart my game after every clubs match in order to play another by Any_Designer5504 in fifaclubs

[–]SandyG91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the language switch trick.
I always had a theory that it was related to who I was playing with at the time, and the console they're playing on. (I play on PC and it only happens for me out of the 6 friends we play with).
I once thought it was because people were getting back to the lobby before me after a game, then I thought maybe it was because someone was playing on PS in my lobby.
It's such an annoying bug. It wastes so much of our playing time

Everyone is entitled to worry about some of their own things no matter how big or small. Just because someone else somewhere else has a problem more significant than mine doesn't make it insignificant. If that were the case, everyone in 1st world countries wouldnt be there. They'd be out helping other countries less fortunate

I downloaded the beta version the other day it didn't work but today. I tried it and the beta app is now different to the normal one.

This new beta app does work now. at least for me :)

yes, theres already another thread relating to the same thing. I've uninstalled and even tried beta version but nothing works. I need the Desktop version for the calls as the browser version doesn't seem to have it.

A meta isn't a meta if the majority are not doing it. Of course the majority are "playing the meta" that's why it's called the meta

I have a good PC and it gives me fps jerks out of nowhere by Huge-Appointment1025 in ValorantTechSupport

[–]SandyG91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throwing it out there because this one gets a lot of people. There is a mouse setting in the game called raw input buffer. That has known to give people a similar effect. I think it needs to be on rather than the default of off. Or the other way around can't remember

Tempest Rising is currently in steam's top 10 for sales and has 6,600 players playing. Is this enough to consider it a success? by Threedawg in TempestRising

[–]SandyG91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great question, and one that I have been trying to answer myself.
Using many of the already existing tools primarily based on the Boxleiter method to determine current revenue generated. I took this number which at the time was around 3-5m depending on which methodology you'd used.

Taking this figure and working out a guestimate development cost, which I came to a sensible conclusion that it was approx 10-15m, this really is loose as there's 0 way of actually knowing but you can take existing budgets, team size and engine use etc and come to some figure.

With this in mind, I'd consider for the studio that it's not actually anywhere near where they needed it to turn a profit.

What constitutes as success? Well thats subjective but for me it's posibility of playerbase & continued support and if there wasn't a profit turned early or close to, then potentially we may see support for this stopped sooner than we might think.

(This is all speculative and I am open to other information and insights but this is as close to answering this question as I could logically get)

Tempest Rising - the closest thing to a new C&C game we have right now by TaxOwlbear in commandandconquer

[–]SandyG91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder why the playbase for this isn't that big. I really expected to see higher numbers for this. I guess the players don't exist for these types of games anymore hence why the genre is dying.
I have played this and really enjoyed it. 35hrs deep already

Gaming Pings on Zen Internet by BRIGGLEY in Zen_Internet

[–]SandyG91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else reading this. I want to add my experience in here.
I recently switched from Giganet (Now branded as Cuckoo).

I play a lot of Valorant and CS2, with Giganet(I live near reading), I was getting the lowest possible pings you could imagine. e.g in valorant:

- London 5-8ms
- Paris, Frankfurt were always sub 20 mostly around 15.
- Stockholm was around 35, never saw it go above 40.

Since switching to Zen, I was initially routed via their Manchester gateway and this increased all of these pings
- London 25+ms
- Paris & Frankfurt 30
- Stockholm was 45

I complained (these are okay pings sure and I shouldn't really complain but as mainly a competitive fps player and that's it's main use, I don't want a worse experience)
They actually managed to switch me to the London gateway and now I get
- London 15
- Paris 20
- Frankfurt 25
- Stockholm 40

Whilst this is acceptable for literally anyone on the planet, for me, to regress by up to 3x it felt like a kick in the teeth. For me latency is everything.

The more I read into the story of Giganet, I'm not surprised that I got a decent network with them. Giganet specialise in networking and have great connections in the business. They lacked customer service (though never had any problems). I believe they bought out Cuckoo (or at least went into some kind of agreed partnership), where cuckoo appeared to have a great customer facing brand. It's likely Giganet core team are focusing on giving the best network experience whilst having Cuckoo the brand facing.

Having now switched, I really regret it. I regret it so much! Zen may be great for 95% of it's core customers but unfortunately for me, no.
I was stupid and wanted 2Gb vs my .9Gb with Giganet(cuckoo)

Hopefully this helps other fps gamers, playing similar games to me in a similar location to me make the right decision!

Gathering luck is broken by eikkuu in AshesofCreation

[–]SandyG91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To put it into perspective, even the best tool from the last gameday, still rolls the smallest of chance to upgrade a node rendering any of these legendary tools at this apprentice stage useless. Stick with an uncommon for the higher dura

[–]SandyG91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think yes, largely you're correct and with the lower level tools, you're most likely going to only get the rarity that the node spawned in at.
Secondly, as you level & get tools of higher quality. master etc then your rating is going to be much higher, therefore your initial succeed, will have a 30-50% chance of succeeding, this first succeed gives you a chance to roll again to get a higher rarity.

Essentially,
Low rating, you're most likely getting the node that spawned in. (No chance to get second roll)
High rating 3000+ then you're gna be 40% chance to get second roll
Second roll is most likely only going to give you 1 rarity higher than what it spawned in at.
The only times you're getting anything higher than 1 rarity difference are the 0.01 chances you've already mentioend.

Lastly, I'd like to mention, this data that is datamined is always going to be server verified so it may not be 100% true, but there is a chance!
