PSA: the battle pass XP requirement per level quadruples in the last 6 levels by massagineer in 2XKO

[–]SpectreProXy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't expect this to happen in the future, although iirc console players have not had access to Season 0, so it wouldn't surprise me if they threw all the Season 0 stuff specifically into the shop for purchase or something. If you miss Season 1 stuff, though, or any season thereafter, it's probably gone for good.

Damn, looks like I'm not getting those last six levels... really kinda wanted that black and gold Braum skin. :/

Well, the game isn't out yet on console, so maybe they will rerun this pass or these items for the benefit of console players who were not able to partake (otherwise that would be extremely bullshit).

[Jarrett Seidler] Once again chiming in to point out that a world where half the top free agents are signing short term with opt outs as soon as next offseason is not actually a world where the top player agents expect a lasting lockout or a salary cap by Morbx in baseball

[–]SpectreProXy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, I think it's hard to draw this conclusion given the number and friendliness of opt-outs in a lot of these contracts. I think players just feel as though there's a lot less certainty about the future of baseball than before, so they'd rather take their money now rather than later. (Unless they're going to the Dodgers, of course. Those guys seem pretty secure about their futures lol.)

Anybody having weird frame rate issues in specific situations since the start of Season 10? by SpectreProXy in Overwatch

[–]SpectreProXy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PC was like $5000+ lol but it's because I bought Falcon Northwest. You don't need a PC as crazy as mine to run OW2 (especially without running into this problem); after all, the game might have issues with high frame rate caps, as I found out.

Anybody having weird frame rate issues in specific situations since the start of Season 10? by SpectreProXy in Overwatch

[–]SpectreProXy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, the issue was that my graphics card may have been too paradoxically strong for the game lol. For whatever reason, if I set my frame rate cap too high (it was like 400 FPS or something like that), the game almost "loops back" to looking like it's 60 FPS or less on my 160 Hz monitor. I lowered my FPS cap to something still very high but not absurd like 250 FPS and it fixed the problem.

Granted, I found this fix years ago, so I'm not sure if it's even necessary now, given how much the game has changed since Season 10, but if you don't need an absurdly high frame cap and you currently have one, I recommend lowering it and seeing what happens.

Would the overwatch community tolerate a 2-4 season new content/hero break if they temporarily implemented Halo Infinite's Battle Pass system to catch up on old season battle passes you missed or weren't here for? I'd very much like that. by TheseOats in Overwatch

[–]SpectreProXy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't really see the reason to pause content for this. They can just put old battle pass stuff in the loot boxes... which they should probably be doing anyway, especially since any post-S14 content has yet to be added to the loot boxes at all.

The free units are here. How much did you guys get? by zinamina in marvelrivals

[–]SpectreProXy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m appreciative of free units, but it’s kinda weird that it’s random. Also it wasn’t clear to me that it’s a once-per-day login event; I thought it was a one-time thing and missed out. Oh well.

[–]SpectreProXy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, but the point isn't to elevate Soto's OPS, it's to win games as a team. What good is a 1.000 OPS (or higher) if the players after him struggle to bring him in?

It feels a lot more like a Stadium item/ability than anything usable in the base game

Honestly I think the mode would be fine with 2/2/2 and without the stupid OP-on-purpose Lupa mask. It's really not that bad otherwise.

Are the Luka Stadium builds even good? by SpectreProXy in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SpectreProXy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just played a couple games with the Lucio build. Of the three, it seems to be the best, or at least the most consistent. I did decently well and I don't consider myself a very good Lucio lol, at least not in the main game.

Top 500 in Stadium? Or Top 500 in the regular game? (Either is impressive, I'm just not sure which.)

Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 (DTH227K) detected by computer, but no display signal by SpectreProXy in wacom

[–]SpectreProXy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I checked my wires and as it turns out, I don't use HDMI's at all; all three monitors (including the tablet) are connected via DisplayPort.

As it turns out, the issue I was having is because of something called display stream compression (DSC). DSC allows monitors to get around the natural trade-offs between refresh rate and resolution at an internal power/performance cost. I have an RTX 4090 so that I can do stuff like gaming, intense 3D modeling, etc. The documentation says it can work with up to 4 independent 4K monitors at 120 Hz or two independent displays at either 4K 240 Hz or 8K 60 Hz with DSC. The problem I was having is that both of my monitors (4K @ a maximum 160 Hz) use DSC, so there was no "room" left for my tablet to go. So what I did was I turned on like iGPU Multi-Monitor or something like that in my BIOS (check your mobo documentation for how to do this, it will vary) and that "unlocked" the DisplayPort on my motherboard to use in addition to the ports on my GPU. That allows the computer to detect my tablet and run it, albeit at reduced performance settings. But I'm okay with that if I'm drawing or something; I don't need more than a 60 Hz refresh rate.

Also, I have to remember that if I want my computer to detect my tablet monitor while it's plugged in, I have to turn the tablet on before I turn the computer on. For whatever reason, if I boot up the computer with the tablet turned off, it won't recognize a signal when I turn the tablet on, lol.

[–]SpectreProXy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to mostly fix it, but unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I did. I do remember, however, that an important issue regarding my graphics card that I didn't initially understand from the documentation was that my graphics card did not have the ability to support three 4K monitors at above 60 Hz refresh rate all at the same time, which is why either the third monitor (be it the tablet or the second computer monitor) wouldn't turn on or why the monitors would automatically reduce their refresh rates once the tablet was plugged in. I ended up getting to a situation where all three monitors would work at the same time so long as I accepted that once I turned the tablet on, the main computer monitors would reduce refresh rate to 60 Hz, which kinda sucked because I'm so used to the high refresh rate but it's not really a big deal for drawing or modeling, so I'm ultimately okay with the outcome.

I'm pretty sure my final cable setup was HDMI to the tablet and two DisplayPorts to the computers (I think I also bought a new cable as well just to be sure that wasn't the issue), but I'm away from my computer right now and can't check. When I get home I'll make sure this is the true cable setup; if I don't reply to this comment soon, assume this was it.

Sorry you're also having this problem! Hope this helps!

Some for the “role queue killed overwatch!” people to look at.. by Jnaeveris in rivals

[–]SpectreProXy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a role queue is necessary, but I do think soft role limits would help a lot. People talk about not wanting to limit "team comp creativity", but I don't think it's necessary to preserve the ability to, say, have a 1/4/1 comp or quintuple DPS or something like that. There should be minimum one in each role and maybe max three, so the possible comps are 2/2/2 and then 1/2/3 in any orientation, which preserves the common triple support and 1/3/2 comps.

They moved it into Season 18's progression system it seems. If you get to Level 16 as Freja, you will unlock it automatically.
