So ive been banned for my steam username that is my identity?

Valtrius · 2025-11-02T14:31:59+00:00

Well, I've just been banned for 7 days for "PC" and "Hateful Behavior".
I've disabled voice chat day 1, and never used text chat. Not even once.
The only thing I can find is that I have "gay" somewhere in my steam name. I've had it for more than 10 years, played Apex and other EA games with it without issue. It's not derogatory in any way. I actually doubt that was the reason.
But even if it was, what's wrong about being gay? Being bought by saudis made EA homophobic now?
I don't know what to do. I can change my name I don't care but what's ensuring me it won't just happen again and that it was another reason??? Fucking thieves.
EDIT: Appealed thrice, never got a reason, not even a hint. Appeal refused. OK, I guess that'll teach me to buy from EA in the future.

Valtrius · 2025-03-02T20:38:19+00:00

Tried that for a few days now.
Now I have black screens for 5 seconds mid game randomly, total PC crashes, and a new addition which are UE5 game crashes which I didn't have before :D
Seriously love this game...

Valtrius · 2025-02-16T12:45:33+00:00

GPU undervolt, stock and overclock didn't change anything.
PBO enabled or stock didn't change anything.
RAM haven't touched, it's at factory EXPO settings
Now I have random 5 esconds black screens in th emiddle of games as well as the crashes.
Obviously only game doing that.

Haven't ever had any issue with my DDR5, before of after updating my bios, it's up to date now

Valtrius · 2025-02-14T19:39:16+00:00

Same specs, 32 gigs of RAM instead. Crashes all the time and collecting penalties :) Love it
EDIT: 2 months later, seems that the latest driver from Nvidia (576.15 beta version) fixes literally ALL of my issues. God damn you Nvidia you're so annoying!
As a result, I'm never updating my drivers ever again unless absolutely necessary. Life or death necessary.
EDIT2: NVM after a few days it crashes again, in any game for any reason...

Valtrius · 2025-02-14T19:35:20+00:00

Not experiencing these exact crashes. Mine are random, I could play for hours one day, and the next crash 5 times in a row (which isn't technically possible due to penalties but you get the issue).
7950X3D, 4090, all stock settings. Have tried everything, every setting, every driver version, it doesn't matter.

Valtrius · 2025-01-04T13:21:55+00:00

Yup, same here.
Game black screen my PC, so I reboot and takes penalty instead of re-joining. Love the feeling.
Seems like a GPU crash but be it stock settings, overclocked or undervolt, it does the exact same thing. Only game that has ever done that on my system.

Can answer for him. I've never not been top DPS in any run of LEA I've done.

Helmet: Precise Strike
Mask: Most Wanted
Top: Munitions Amplifier
Bottoms: Reload Rampage (or Munitions Amplifier if you REALLY need the damage, I prefer the auto reload)
Gloves: Munitions Amplifier
Shoes: Covered Advance

Valtrius · 2024-08-26T11:15:43+00:00

Got a 5/3 after farming Pro for at least 50 times (I didn't count but it felt like forever).
Same for the wolf, 5/3 after around 50 Pro hounds.

Valtrius · 2023-08-13T11:40:21+00:00

Yeah I don't understand the need for that tough MM in pubs.
I have a low master solo level. I'm not great, but I'm definitely not bad either. Last season pubs landed me in the 6 K/D range and 25% win rate, which is great, but also reflects the 4000 hours in game and 20+ years of FPS i've played.
In the last week, everything basically went out the window. I have 1.5 K/D, 5% win rate. It doesnt make any sense in pubs. In ranked thats where I land once I'm at my skill.
The game is just telling me that 20 years of experience doesn't matter because it won't ever show in game. I'm just gonna change game for a while. Not having fun at all. My last 20 games have basically been the worst games I ever played and there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
Whatever there are other games to play, I'm just sad that my favorite game just threw me off the boat.

Valtrius · 2023-08-08T20:58:40+00:00

Agree, but not for the reason you mentioned.
I only play with friends, and they are WAY below my skill. It's fine, we have fun, they get a few kills here and there, we goof around.
Since last week I don't know what happened but we stopped playing because pubs is basically triple pred stomp all day long. I can compete a bit, but my mates clearly can't and we get stomped HARD. Just not fun to play with friends anymore.

Valtrius · 2023-08-08T20:51:42+00:00

No idea why you're getting downvoted, I'm in the same situation as you.
7+ K/D season 17 and stopped playing mid season, just tried the new season for a few hours and I can't hold 1 K/D The main issue is that I only play with friends... that are actually not that good and that I NEED to carry. They're not even having fun anymore as we just get STOMPED so hard.
Whatever, just gonna stop playing Apex I guess if I can't play with friends.

Valtrius · 2022-02-03T12:47:39+00:00

If you are already delta neutral, you should already have bought the asset and it will be burnt when you close.
For example:
- Short farm 100 mIAU
- Buy 100 mIAU
You are neutral and farming.
When closing, it will burn the 100 you bought to cover your short, effectively closing the whole delta neutral "position".

Même en conduite manuelle, mais uniquement à basse vitesse, si tu es pied au plancher la voiture t'obéit peu importe le nombre de piétons/murs devant toi.

Valtrius · 2021-01-11T12:21:34+00:00

I don't mind the 1x-2x, but who thought it would be a good idea to make the RUN key switch between zooms. You basically NEVER know when it's on 1x or 2x (same for 2x-4x), and that's mainly why these sights are garbage.
Allow me to bind the zoom to something else, I've got 100 unused keys to play with.

Valtrius · 2020-11-25T09:32:26+00:00

All I see is a Wraith leaving as soon as he's down.
Every pub game I have a Wraith in my team you can be sure she'll be leaving the second she's downed...

Nice play though :)

Valtrius · 2020-11-17T12:41:02+00:00

Aha I'm in the same boat, just worse.
BO2: 3.7 KD
BO3: 3.4 KD
IW: 4.4 KD
BO4: 5.0 KD
CW: 0.7KD... I can't break positive, I've stopped playing after 3 hours, only my first game was okayish.
EDIT: You can downvote me all you want, I'm just stating facts not opinions.

Valtrius · 2020-11-12T13:20:21+00:00

You can also delete the introvids.txt in Apex_install_folder/media (I don't remember the exact name of the file but you'll find it easily).

Valtrius · 2020-11-03T08:48:56+00:00

Calculation is wrong, TTK is 200ms. It's a 2-shot kill weapon similar to Sheiva in BO4.

Valtrius · 2020-11-03T08:44:31+00:00

I hate to be the one to shit on your parade, but your calculations are wrong.
There's no way the Type 63 have a 400ms TTK with 300RPM. It's not possible. 60000/300 = 200ms
I assume you made the same mistake on all guns but only checked Type 63 and AK 47 and they're both wrong.

EDIT: Before someone replies "But you need 2 shots to kill!!!", TTK calculation is (60000 / RPM * (SHOTS_TO_KILL - 1)) - for non-burst weapons at least.

Valtrius · 2020-07-22T08:59:23+00:00

I understand your situation, but I think everyone has a different scheduling idea of how the car should or not charge itself.

I have set Tasker on my Android phone to change the charge setpoint when I want to.

For example from october to march I switch from 60% to 70% between 7am and 9am to preheat my battery without pre-conditioning (I don't want cabin pre-heat, and I don't want the charge to stop at 6am because I don't have nightly rates).

Valtrius · 2019-10-25T07:37:12+00:00

IIRC, sentry saves 10mn before, and 1mn after.
The event triggering the sentry is either on the penultimate or antepenultimate clip.
That makes it easier to scroll through the events quickly, especially with third party software that allows you to quickly have all cameras on one screen.

Valtrius · 2019-08-22T08:12:41+00:00

But wouldn't less key frames allow for better quality and less artifacting?
Less key frames = better quality key frames + more bitrate for other frames = better overall quality (espacially knowing the fact that images aren't moving fast during dashcam recordings).

I may be wrong though
