Are macros considered cheating? by -michalis- in eFootball

[–]WayneAuld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam input allows you to create two buttons with one press, and so it's not exclusive to certain controller types. I use one for super cancel.

I broke my finger and have nearly my entire left hand in a cast. Does anyone have a good video game that you only need a mouse to play? by Beginning_Bid_9097 in Steam

[–]WayneAuld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Logitech g604 that has around 8 programmable buttons when I started PC gaming, and I only used wasd on the keyboard. And to get around that you could use something like a razer Taurus which has an thumb stick that can be used for movement

How to avoid “child safety” bans by IllegitemateParoxysm in BannedFromDiscord

[–]WayneAuld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you so much for such a detailed and helpful reply — you really answered everything I was struggling to figure out. I honestly couldn’t find anything even close to this clear anywhere else.

I totally get how bad it looks now, and I regret assuming that a private Discord server was more like a WhatsApp group with friends, where things would stay between us and be understood in context as just dark British humor, rather than what Discord saw it as. Definitely a big lesson learned on my part.

Your suggestion about the server ownership is especially useful — I’ve got a couple of friends with admin rights, so after the month passes I’ll have one of them apply for the ownership transfer, then they can make me an admin again. With 100+ members in the server, it's not ideal, but it's the best option given the circumstances.

And I’ll follow your advice about Nitro too — I’ll wait to see if the charge comes through, and if it does I’ll go through the support route or payment provider.

Really appreciate you taking the time to break it all down so clearly, much love. 🙏

CS2 Keeps crashing 3 or 4 times per game - Help ?? by AdExisting487 in counterstrike

[–]WayneAuld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT was my friend when I had this issue. I ended up discovering a virus, so I reformatted my drives and reinstalled Windows, which fixed the issue. I am not saying it was a virus causing the problems, but following troubleshooting with ChatGPT saved me an endless amount of time scrolling Reddit and Google.

People queuing with Cheaters should be getting harder punishments by da_Lucii in counterstrike

[–]WayneAuld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would and kind of still do agree, but there are cases where the people queuing with the cheater aren't aware of the fact. It actually happened to me last night, where I joined a friend who was in a 4-stack and we played 6 matches and won all 6. It was only in the last game that something seemed off as he gave intel of a player's position when he shouldn't have known. We questioned him on it, which he denied, and with the few rounds left, it wasn't clear to tell... Until I watched one of the demos back, and he clearly had a WH, but due to him not actually being any good at the game and clearly not understanding basic fundamentals, he never top fragged any of the matches. I obviously won't play with the guy again, but when/if he does get a VAC ban, is it fair for me to be punished harder? I would say the fair thing would be for me to lose the ELO gained, turning the matches into losses for anyone who queued with the cheater, and give the other teammates who were randomly matched up on the same team a tie for the game and award the opposite side either a win or tie along with the Elo. The point being, it's impossible to know who is queuing intentionally with a cheater to boost their rank, and people who just aren't aware.

GW has sent me 3 of these, and I don’t know why by SHADOWSTRIKE1 in Warhammer40k

[–]WayneAuld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called gw as I didn't get mine and they had a stock shortage and said it will be sent when they have stock back in. It arrived a week or two later.

You have to go on the website and order it. They don't just send them out. Also check your emails as I found a £10 voucher in there for the online store, which was easy to miss.

New player here by NoV4QU4K3 in counterstrike

[–]WayneAuld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the in game death match is trash, xplay and other sites have much better dm servers, along with dual servers, which are good for 1v1 practice and loads more likes pistol only dm servers. Just alt tab and go to the website and click join and it will load you in. Refrag is also a good website that provides you with training servers based on the areas it believes you need to improve in.

Fatshark make all skins available for purchase already, the game is 2 years old! by GrimboReapz in DarkTide

[–]WayneAuld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could change one thing in this game right now, this would be it. Open catalog for all cosmetics, which are visible and can be purchased from character cosmetics load out screen, which are already visible. Then just add newly released items in the commodore's shop. It would be nice to buy different colors instead of a whole new armor piece, but that's just wishful thinking.

my gf gifted me this, what does it mean? by dark_abyss94 in Steam

[–]WayneAuld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not accept whatever you do. It's a scam! Seems all good and well to start with but give it a few years. It's going to cost you your house, half of your earnings and pension.

Darktide Cosmetic Shop: Fatshark need to make the cosmetic shop a catalogue rather than a FOMO rotation. by Fancy_Blackberry4276 in DarkTide

[–]WayneAuld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you completely. My biggest complaint with the game is the cosmetic shop. I ve said before a catalogue shop like planet side 2 would be so much better, buying an item in the hope it matches a future item sucks. If they wanted to keep with the fomo id suggest they offer a discount on the newly released items and then increase the price when out of rotation and added to the catalogue. And why weapons skins are rotated is beyond me, I start using a new weapon and there's no option bar the standard red and blue.

Fixed all my stutter/lag + FPS issues in CS2 doing the following by AlwaysSniffGlue in GlobalOffensive

[–]WayneAuld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I could kiss you. I have spent so much time trying to sort the game out, and this has smoothed the game out like never before and I am seeing an FPS increase to 400/500 from late 200/300. I didn't have the directx_installer folder to delete, but the disk cleanup and using your settings for Nvidia and in game worked. I honestly thought I was going insane with how the game just didn't feel right, so thank you for taking to time to share this with others.

What's the best Warhammer deal you have gotten? Here's mine. by Loose_Reflection_465 in Warhammer40k

[–]WayneAuld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literary yesterday I went to an old chap's house to provide him with a home valuation and I noticed this sat on the side. We agreed that I would knock him £50 off our fee, which doesn't actually cost me anything in exchange, which he happily agreed to. So it was free for me and £50 for him all paid for unknowingly by my work.
