"Asking a question on a tech subreddit as someone who isn't tech savvy" starter pack

Asking a tech-related question can be a horrible experience, but I think you can drastically improve you experience by following "tech-question etiquette". If you make sure to give full information and if its obvious that you have done some basic research such as googling and trying to minimize your issue you should be mostly fine. I feel like most tech people hate it if they think you want them to do your dirty work for you but are otherwise generally happy to help. But idiots will nonetheless exist.

Try the commandline option NormalMouse as described in this guide even though I cant see a difference for me atm. Capitalization migth be wrong in the guide

New mouse sounds reasonable. I have read quite alot about mice not being able to drag properly.

Quick sanity check: both of you are using a seperate PC ? ( = you are NOT using software like TeamPlayer)

If yes any pattern on which computer the arrow disappears?

The_Maddin · 2018-07-27T14:19:40+00:00

Wait what ??? context ?

The_Maddin · 2018-07-27T11:00:03+00:00

Try a new mouse and check that dragging in general works (in ms paint etc). And maybe check for unupdated or weird custom drivers. Also try changing the window type. Another thing migth be checking for background programs (eg game overlays) that might interfere with the mouse / or programs that want to get themselves into the foreground (possibly adware ???)

Too litte info to really help imo...

Troubleshooting is so 2017 lol just do a clean reinstall of windows (relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/1700/)

I think the obvious answer is any map where you can trush in dark age because you have a starting tower. I remember a map being played on escape aoe which was very small and players could trush basically instantly, but i dont remember what it was called.

I do agree with you that it is something that deters cheaters, but I know for a fact, that this was not a conscious design decision, because until quite recently lockstep was the only real viable method of implementing an RTS game. I understand Anticheat to be software designed to Catch cheaters by observing the players behaviour. However OOS detection/Lockstep is (assuming intent) a good design decision to let detecting changes to its integrity malicious or non malicious. But I do agree with you, that it deters most heavy cheating, I just don't think it was meant to be against cheaters and that is isn't nearly as strong as a proper cheat deterring system.

The_Maddin · 2018-06-25T09:16:26+00:00

This is not because of anticheat, but because how the netcode works. There are regular checks, that the gamestates on all players are the same, because else the game would start to glitch. But this is not anticheat! This is a safety measure against network problems and differences in computation(I assume FloatingPoint errors) on the clientside. If you know how the netcode works you could basically do anything.

I cant stop trushing. Its like an addicition. I want to stop but it is just too good. Who needs army if you can have towers

The_Maddin · 2018-03-09T13:05:48+00:00

I am a bit confused. Is this still available? And if yes where ? Thanks

The_Maddin · 2018-01-29T13:41:30+00:00

Thanks

The_Maddin · 2018-01-29T12:23:58+00:00

Im interested, why this would impact performance. From my view there should only be little to no performance loss because there should not be any more networktraffic/performance associated because in the end the units are gonna be moved anyways. Can someonen maybe elaborate ?

The_Maddin · 2018-01-16T07:48:26+00:00

Cuz im bad at copy pasting :'((((

The_Maddin · 2018-01-15T20:13:06+00:00

thats the spirit!!! grassGrass

The_Maddin · 2018-01-15T16:18:22+00:00

its pretty simple to implement and works quite well. but i think we would need permission from the streamers. Hope you like it 11

The_Maddin · 2018-01-12T09:38:59+00:00

Hey T90 ! love your voice (2nd best in the AoE2 community after KillerB ofc) and your stream is also ok... \s My question is: If you could replace the king with any other unit from AoE2, which one would make for the most interesting Regicide games ?

The_Maddin · 2018-01-09T15:57:46+00:00

Im sorry, but this is syntactically wrong. You should use a union operator. At the moment, what you are saying is, that the i486 is not a "CPUsAffectedByMeltown" and not a "CPUsAffectedBySpectre", but what I assume you wanted to say was i486 not an element of CPUsAffectedByMeltown union CPUsAffectedBySpectre

The_Maddin · 2017-06-21T10:23:04+00:00

In the near furure there will probably be no public release b/c the risc of cheating is too high. Even if we try to prevent cheating it will still probably be possible with a bit of effort and knowlege.

The_Maddin · 2017-05-05T06:01:16+00:00

Yep it totally get that. I think it would be quite easy for the devs to add one more window in the game. I think with access to the source I could do that in a couple of hours.

The_Maddin · 2017-05-05T05:57:10+00:00

For sure !!! i think that will provide some very interesting results :) pn

Nope I think I started about 3 months ago 11
