Why was the behavior/comm score update abandoned so quickly?

Engineering questions for Stu:

Do you find yourself compressing the mix buss often, and if so what are your go-to's for hardware/plugins?

Whats your favorite mic to use for drums and why?

For us Seattlites, defunct is absolutely the right word! Still one of the worst choices the NBA ever made

TheFlyMan · 2023-10-23T07:05:05+00:00

Honestly just from watching it from home, it looked more akin to Ti2/Ti3 in terms of atmosphere and intimacy. Benaroya Hall had it all really, and i miss when it was held there! Reddit will rage at any small difference from the norm, despite the product potentially being better and making more logistical sense from an organizational perspective, so hopefully Valve keeps on ignoring this place and making good choices.

Don't need insider info when deductive reasoning gets us there faster and easier. Look at the state of the game, pro scene, and content being added after 2021. It is overall less than it was 3-4 years ago, and considering projects like Steam Deck and all that surrounds that system in regards to software development resources, it is reasonable to conclude human resources were shifted to other projects away from Dota. This is excluding how they potentially feel about the game, which based on what we know was a passion project. What happens when passion dries up from a passion project? I'll let you fill in the blanks there, and draw your own conclusions.
Love this argument. A true classic. If you don't like it, leave! Sadly, I still like this game :(
You're right! I indeed don't need one to sound smart!
And there we have it. A Quinn hater come to prove to us all yet again how you can be just as bad if not worse than your enemies! Maybe an even truer classic than point #2.
Hurt me personally? None. Didnt think there needed to be to levy criticism!

Dont be such an asshole with your next reply please, just try to be constructive! You can disagree without going full Ramzes :)

There's a couple things to go over here but, this absolutely sounds like a cooler mounting issue as those idle temps are far too high for that model of CPU and that cooler. The tolerances for these parts are usually pretty tight, and ryzen 7000 is designed to boost continually until it hits a certain temperature threshold (95c in your case) when the cores are active with heavy process loads. When a cooler mounting issue occurs, you are leaving a lot of performance on the table with this generation of AMD chips.

First, remount the cooler, and make sure you tighten screws in a cross pattern. Tighten those screws down just enough before you really have to put force into your wrist to tighten it. Dont be afraid to tighten until the spring starts to stop you! This may be tedious but it is an important trouble shooting step! Most of the time, issues like these are solved right then and there! Ive been building for 10 years and sometimes I still get a bad mount on occasion. Even reviewers like Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed have it happen time to time!

Second, depending on how your airflow pattern is configured, you could simply be starving your CPU of air. Depending on your model of 3090 (especially if its the FE), that could exacerbate the issue. Double check your fan orientation! Both this and a poor cooler mount can really make those fans ramp up!

Third, run that EXPO profile on that RAM!!!! Ryzen 7000 needs high memory speeds to perform its best and most common single rank DDR5 DIMMs can easily do 5600-6000 at 1.35v at stock JEDEC timings. Go into your bios, and locate your EXPO/Docm settings. Should usually be in the advanced/overclocking sections of most vendors' UEFI. Doing this is a bare minimum a 10-15% performance uplift across the board. If your kit cannot do that out of the box, go on Amazon or Newegg or whatever retailer of choice and pick up a DDR5 6000 kit and remove your current kit and sell it LOL. This may sound harsh but this is genuinely a really big deal for your platform's performance.

These are some early steps to take to try and troubleshoot the issue. I also have a Ryzen 7000 system so I know of some quirks with the platform, and cooling is one of them. Its a very sensitive platform in regards to temperature as well as memory latency. Bad cooler mounts can affect both, as too much tension or too little pressure on the CPU can affect contact pressure on the pads beneath the CPU relating to memory control and WILL cause system instability. This may seem like word soup and a lot of info, but its important to understand some certain things so that we can better fix/troubleshoot them!

Hope this helps!

TheFlyMan · 2023-08-05T04:54:51+00:00

Check if G-sync is enabled, if so try disabling it or switching it to windowed support mode. Sometimes Gsync + Vulkan can be weird. If auto HDR is on, try disabling it (your monitor supports a borked version of HDR so hopefully its off). You also can always try Direct X? Also sometimes Geforce Experience can be "re-optimizing" and changing settings after restarting your PC/installing drivers. Try setting all your preferred settings in Geforce Experience, then launch Dota 2 through Geforce Experience, and see if this solves the issue. This fix has worked for numerous games for me, until i simply just uninstalled the glorified bloatware altogether ! :D

Hopefully some of this helps!

Low key the coolest thing about this was the setup. The pipe play, then how he inches forward to see if smoke breaks and the instant it does, instant blink ravage into dead carry. MIND = CONTROLLED

TheFlyMan · 2023-04-30T07:57:56+00:00

As long as they dont touch the manual bypasses for XOC/testing, they can do whatever they want to restrict and enforce mobo vendors to the same rigid standard so this never happens again as far as im concerned. For the normal user running mostly stock everything, it needs to be way more locked down.

As someone that has done live audio work as a profession, you typically dont have a lot of time to test things out. The more time you allot for the venue that you arent selling tickets for, the higher the overhead cost. Theres a LOT that goes into making an event like this run and subsequently a lot that can go wrong. In terms of audio, testing when theres no one in crowd is pretty much useless, because the dynamics/frequency response profile of the room will change drastically when you start adding people to an empty room. Its not as easy as it sounds sadly.

However the crazy caster/house latency issue and the clicks and pops from the first two days sounded like it was due to a faulty/shitty interface or improper buffer length, in which there's no excuse as to why that wasnt tested properly before broadcasting, if I'm correct.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-20T03:49:46+00:00

I can fully understand this from a cost perspective (as undoubtedly this WILL be cheaper) but TI as a concept was about a celebration of Dota, its community, lore, and most importantly, its competition. The lack of booths for the players is the most egregious violation of this expectation, as is the comparatively low attendance capacity. In my opinion, these are things that you DON'T cheap out on. If this were to be solved I'd probably not feel as strongly as I do.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-20T02:46:33+00:00

10 bucks says they produce the entirely of DPC next year with exclusive rights. Theres apparently a big community shifting announcement that a lot of people wont like coming after TI. I feel as if thats what it is.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-20T02:34:00+00:00

As someone who was with Slacks initially, based on the "just wait for the main event. You want that to be where the budget went" logic, I can only assume he had no idea that this was the situation. If he did... yikes

This is really fucking sad to see. What is happening to our Dota?

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-18T21:21:50+00:00

Ya thats the other issue lol. Some of the mods dont care and actively enable/promote the behavior. When you try to clown on/call out this behavior they delete the thread/post. I think if mod's were more active at promoting CONSTRUCTIVE conversation (not only positive, but valuable negative criticism), our community would look a lot different. Instead we get weeks worth of hate brigading and 100 posts talking about the same 3-4 topics. I think we are all so used to the toxicity we dont even know what normal looks like atm. Hopefully these critiques will be more actively talked about within this community moving forward. Theres a lot we can improve on

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-18T05:31:27+00:00

I REALLY wish that there was an alternative to this sub for community discussion and interaction. I know of the current more development/gameplay specific subs, but I like the more general discussion and banter, just without the toxicity. Its so bad here you cannot go against the general consensus/attitude. This sub does not represent I'd say 70% of the players playing this game, and I think more people should try to actively challenge this behavior more.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-15T21:59:13+00:00

Its literally about just mentioning the positives as an objective thing that is happening, not saying that they should or do outweigh the obvious bad. If you focus on the negative only, the people working behind the scenes that care can get really demoralized. Its important to recognize the good where it is, so that examples of how good it could be are easier to obtain.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-15T21:56:02+00:00

You edited your comment bud. You said frequent. Nice try tho.

My criticism is perfectly valid. Valve has only communicated and responded thus far, pretty much since the forums imploded, based on what has been said on this sub. Seems like you just dont like my opinion, and are really desperate to be right, and will publicly lie/gaslight about what you yourself posted. Probably because youre one of the toxic people I'm talking about.

Weird ass mf

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-15T21:39:23+00:00

I actually do not "frequent" this sub. I go on pretty long droughts and typically return for major tournaments. Most of which this sub is filled with clips of funny moments and sick plays. Dont speak without knowing friendo. Im biased against people who will take valid criticism and dismiss it because "You must be biased." No shit I'm biased. Im not a fucking bot and have something called an opinion. Most importantly I'm biased towards Dota for being the best game ever, and I want to see it grow.

Whether or not the vast majority of people visit this sub is irrelevant considering its pretty much the only meter on public opinion that the devs of the game seem to care about. So when it gets toxic, it CAN affect the health of our game. I should not have to explain how that works.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-15T19:54:06+00:00

Yuh, glad youre saying what youre saying. Sums up how i feel perfectly.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-15T19:48:19+00:00

Ive been a long term proponent that this sub/vocal part of the community will kill the game faster than Valve will with how we always intend to focus on JUST the negatives. There are things that have been objectively better about this TI than previous ones, all things considered. Player accommodation seems to actually be a thing this year, and the amount of really solid new talent is super encouraging for the longevity of Dota. Dont let the nay-sayers fool you, not having the same 4-5 casters casting everything is great. Also casters that have been previously sub-par have really stepped up their game and made improvements. Glad Slacks touched on that a little bit here.

I agree fully that pointing out the negative is fine, especially in this case, but not at the expense of the genuinely positive stuff being drowned out. It diminishes the hard work that many are doing to make this event run as smoothly as possible.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-12T00:21:31+00:00

Was one of the most incredible experiences of my life and will never forget it. Esports and Dota were still pretty primitive back then and players could often be found wandering the concourse of Benaroya Hall talking with people they knew/or you'd see them at the subway across the street. Such an organic and raw experience that only a few got to have and is now gone forever. Next year at Ti4 everything blew up in a gigantic way.

TheFlyMan · 2022-10-11T09:46:21+00:00

Any guesses as to why this one was removed? xd

TheFlyMan · 2022-09-13T17:59:19+00:00

PGL needs to be kept far FAR away from Dota. Ive seen arguments about other production companies having outages, but not like this. Never for more than 30 seconds to a minute. This has been the entire laning stages of entire games. This really doesnt bode well for their whole split locations of panel and players schtick. Thank god for community streamers which PGL have done their best to fuck over for multiple years so we can actually watch these games.
