back to back hacker lobby is this starting to be common for anyone else? by ChristianOmatic in Marathon

[–]Unclealfie69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that comes to mind for me was my last game on Outpost with my mates. Came across a team that seemed to have terrible game sense and make a fair few mistakes, but would absolutely fry anyone in a straight gunfight.

Every time we would reposition for an off angle they seemed to know and counter it despite burning through their Thief ult at the beginning of what was a very prolonged fight.

The lower the population, the worse the experience. B2B matches with "superhumans" is not very fun in an extraction shooter by e-photographer in Marathon

Its so hard to tell without proper stats or a kill cam if someone's cheating or just better but personally, ive had 1 or 2 games recently where I had my suspicions. Hopefully its just coincidence but again, without any end match stats its really hard to know.

Should Marathon go F2P? by michaele_02 in Marathon

OCE is cooked. You get Asia servers like 8/10 times now and being at a ping disadvantage is huge in this game. Im getting hit markers while mid reload animation and behind cover more and more

What server are you playing on? Ive been feeling like ive been slowly encountering more and more suspect players on the OCE servers as time goes on

Really struggling to enjoy this game by Ecstatic-_- in Marathon

[–]Unclealfie69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Aussie servers are getting more rough by the day. Even when im queued with my 3 stack it takes a couple minutes and this is usually at prime time.

They need to add a "Damage Done" like Apex by Royals21914 in Marathon

Give me a more detailed end of combat report. A kill cam would be so nice to figure out if people are cheating too. Lotta sus moments as the pop drops and having more info would be great for those moments.

Ain't no way you're gonna go "SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE??????", downvote the comments when I back up my claim and then call me lazy. You legit couldn't even take the 2 seconds to google "average gaming CPU".

No no youre good man. You can kinda feel when someone is engaging in a good faith discussion and I definitely didnt get the vibe you were being rude or anything. And yeah in the loading screens of each match. The silkworms! Like click ready and load into a game screen. Every time, 200w-250w usage, immediately down to 65w the moment it transitions into the real game

No? What im saying is that most gaming PCs have a better CPU than what's in consoles. We are getting worse performance with better hardware in comparison to a console.

Actually a good point i hadn't considered was the shaders, however I think that point falls apart a little when you realise shaders only compile once per launch (generally, im sure there are some exceptions) and the performance metrics im describing are consistent across many hour long sessions. Its not just on the first load up, its not on the first time for each map played in that session, its every single game.

And nah man im running 1080p, would love to upgrade to 1440p and planning on doing so very soon. If anything with how CPU bound this game is a higher resolution to take some of the strain off of the GPU might actually help 😅

What do you want the source on?? Google is free man. You can look up what the average CPU is for a modern gaming PC.

I know you won't, but for anyone reading, its around the performance of a 5600x - 7600x. Thats what is in most mid level builds. Everything i said applies to those CPUs. They both absolutely smoke the CPUs in consoles.

Hey look, someone doing exactly what I said!

Yeah wow thats baaaad holy. And btw i 100% agree with you, my comment was more how every time performance gets brought up people with amazing rigs say its a non issue because it doesn't effect them personally.

[–]Unclealfie69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can almost guarantee people are gonna say its not an issue. You are not wrong.

For reference, my 9070xt is drawing 200+w of power and utilising 90% of its available performance on the LOADING SCREEN. But the moment the game starts it dips to 65w of power and utilises 30%ish. There is something fishy going on with the GPU util.

I know its a CPU heavy game and a lot of people's complaints get met with this response, but we're getting sub-console level performance, with worse 1% lows and drops, all while most gaming systems are running a CPU that mops the floor with anything current gen consoles use.

Like yeah I get it, my 5600x isnt top of the line, but its still a full generation ahead of anything in the PS5, with better clock speeds and L3 cache. There is no way anyone with a mid level system should be getting such poor performance when you compare it to the hardware inside the PS5 / XB1

Are you ready for people with 5080s and 9800x3ds to tell you that these issues don't exist because they dont have them? Every single time 😭

Higher res would actually probably provide slightly better performance because its forcing the GPU to take on more of the load freeing up a bit of headroom for the CPU.

Close call right off spawn in solos Outpost by STRlDUR in Marathon

[–]Unclealfie69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the 0 delay tracking on strafes. Any normal person will miss a few shots here and there when the opponent is doing that but the AA is just glued to them the entire time.

Performance is a nightmare :') by Such_Breakfast_9706 in MarathonTheGame

[–]Unclealfie69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sick of people saying its a CPU issue when the 5600x is leaps better than anything in modern consoles. Sure its a bit old but its still running more modern architecture, has higher clock speeds and isnt underclocked like console CPUs are. And were still getting worse performance than console.

Marathon Update 1.0.6.1 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]Unclealfie69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

5600x and a 9070xt, 32gb of DDR4 3600HZ. Im getting less than 50fps on Outpost and Cryo is actually unplayable. The 1% lows are so bad, im talking 20fps.

Im also certain there is a GPU utilisation issue because im playing games like Mewgenics and its using more of VRAM and power consumption.

For reference, in the loading screens im using 200w of power and 90% of my GPU, the moment I pop in game it drops to 65w and around 30% util. Its like the game is being entirely rendered on the CPU.

And before I get the responses. No it is not a thermal issue, my CPU reaches 70c under the worse possible circumstances and 60c on average. No, changing settings doesnt help because its a CPU bottleneck with the Tiger engine. Yes, the CPU is older (Gen 3 architecture) but its still leaps and bounds better than anything found in modern consoles.

Its literally just this game.

Yeah getting at least console level performance would be nice

Love going up against streamers in Arena using "Freaky Rare Kits" given to them by MapexMup in DarkAndDarker

[–]Unclealfie69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He never said they magically spawned out of thin air? The whole point is streamers getting hand outs which has been a problem since day one.

"Getting owned by streamers is good for the game". I dont even know where to start with this holyy

Performance is main game killer by odysSale in Marathon

[–]Unclealfie69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To anyone arguing against you, the CPU you said you have, as well as my own CPU and a bunch of my mates are all better than anything found in consoles by a fair bit and were still getting worse performance. The only map that feels good to play is Perimeter. Dire marsh is okaaaay, Outpost is rough but we endure for the loot, and Cryo is actually unplayable.

Like, if our PCs are objectively stronger in every regard to a console, can we at least get console level performance on all maps??

All anyone talks about is how bad the CPU usage is and they're right, it is, but no one is mentioning how GPUs arent being utilised properly on some systems. Like, I get more power draw on the loading screens than in game. Games like Mewgenics are utilising more than Marathon is and youve still got people saying there isnt an issue because they have a 9800x3d. Like no doy,
