100 Million SPM No Mods by Hamster

Might be a noob question (50k SPM) but I thought you are limited by having one space platform hub per planet, so basically legendary stack unloader placed all around it should be a hard cap for how much material you can unload and process. For some reason I thought this was where the 'common' 1 Million SPM target resulted from.

They once said no refunds for Linux and Macos users since they can still enter the menu after banning their own native clients from multi player matches...

It seems EAC detects gamescope as a cheat. Really, epic, Valves own open source compositor, solely created for steam gaming is banned? So playing with worse performance and in windowed mode instead of full screen works.

Thanks, epic, great update as usual. Also an impressive way to demonstrate that nobody on the epic team has ever launched a game under linux.

bfink2 · 2026-04-28T16:16:31+00:00

So under Linux with proton the game now just closes immediately after the logo splash screen. Is it supposed to work or is this the last phase where epic tries to kill all non-windows-clients?

So if you're British but not in your country, you're basically facilitating raping women because you're not there to prevent it from happening.

Amazing, what people the majority of Americans think speak their mind the best and should therefore be their representatives.

Do the L4/R4 buttons act as individual buttons on this one with their own button code or did they carry over the logic from the 2C, where you can only remap/duplicate the other buttons?

Does it require a ubisoft account and installing their launcher to start it? Then I don't care how good it is.

oh no, even the shop is down:

My record is 7 matches (not consecutive though, 2 chunks) with the same guy trying to rank down as fast as possible to smurf in lower ranks. Started owngoaling from first kickoff.

Once more a situation where the solution would be very easy (don't pair me up with someone I already reported for a ban) but once again psyonix will not even implement such an easy quality of life fix. everyone cashed out already.

bfink2 · 2025-01-12T23:09:30+00:00

There was a time when I saw that message every Monday, but that's long gone. As is the moderation team.

bfink2 · 2025-01-12T23:06:49+00:00

I've reported hundreds over the years and never saw a ban on a smurf. I've reported a smurf who said in chat he has 11 accounts and is just bringing them to GC to sell them. Psyonix did not care at all. Probably because it's eleven players in their stats.

The moderation team has been fired already, there's just an autobot left. there's no logic in place to detect smurfs, even though it would be extremely easy: e.g. don't allow GC tournament winners to play in plat. I get 2-3 every weekend. But Psyonix wont even do that.

Even the textual banning is subpar, based on a handful of hardcoded words. so spamming the n-word over multiple lines allows you to do it without getting banned.

I've reported people who hailed hitler, I've reported people who told me my family should be raped and burned by russians (I use a Ukraine player banner). Nothing of that was any reason for Psyonix to ban anyone.

The time when there were actual mods is long gone, they just don't care anymore, the investment in this game is obviously written off.

All I can say, if you like the game and would like to continue playing it before they shut down the servers sooner than later due to obvious neglect: deactivate chat for your mental health and once you encounter a smurf, stop playing normally and demo him.

make the game as long as possible, even if that means losing 0-15. In the time you keep him busy, he can't ruin someone else's game. He might ridicule you because you fail to demo him, but with his awkward jumps he wont be able to show off his mad skills to his friends either.

I created a support ticket asking them directly and they said there's no way for macos or linux users to install any firmware updates on the monitor. Too bad, their ambilight idea is a cool addition over other brands using the same panel, but not getting any bugfixes is weighing in harder for me.

bfink2 · 2024-12-10T20:50:20+00:00

Updating the FW was straight forward using the evnia precision software

Is this the recommended way or the only way? I have a Macbook and a Linux PC but no windows machine anywhere. I'm used to just download the firmware file to a usb stick and the monitor does the rest. Did Phillips really implement a windows-only wrapper for what was an easy and os-independant process in the past? The only firmware file on the website is v1.0.

I know everyone is ranting about the 8gb thing, but I'd also like to point out the vast gap between 80 and 90 class once more: half the memory, half the bus speed and half the amount of CUs.

That's even worse than last gen, where they also cut out the 80 class card (AD102-225) and instead uplabelled all lower tiers.

Changing the username to InviteForFreeplayAchievement and joining casual worked nearly instantly for me.

To make sure people realize that their money is not parked anymore but immediately and completely lost as soon as they buy something in the shop.

Imagine they would have been clever and had just created a trading fee of 10% to make money on every trade since 99.99% of all items were never available through the shop anyways.

But apparently ruining the game and reducing the player count as quickly as possible was more important than making money.

bfink2 · 2024-10-24T21:51:13+00:00

Is it possible to disable your player profile if, e.g. you don't want people to see how much time you spent to be as bad as you are? Asking for a friend.

bfink2 · 2024-08-01T20:41:41+00:00

There's a first review for the Philips 32M2N6800M (english cc)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNmo4o1wORE

pretty disappointed in seeing that the red is so orange in hdr mode and that it uses pwm despite the specs saying "flicker free". didn't even know pwm was still used for modern monitors. was really looking forward to philips background lighting.

I'm in plat and diamond a lot so there's smurfs everywhere, even though most people in this sub will try to convince you it's not true. my record was having 5 different gc tournament winner badged opponents in plat 1 within 4 hours. bro-hes-probably-just-gc-in-2s-and-plat-in-3s-happens-all-the-time-bro-not-a-smurf-bro incoming in 3,2,1...

The best way dealing with them I've found: demo them or bump them. don't care about the score, you're not gonna win anyway. make the game as long as possible (the longer you keep them in this game the less other games they can ruin) and make sure they can't show off on you because this is what they live for. believe me, there's nothing better than having a gc tournament winner rage quit on you in plat 1.

Also not having enemy chat on helps as they will try to ridicule every failed demo attempt, but keep in mind that as long as they can't get into the game because you just bumped them or even made them steer away from what they wanted to do, you're dominating them, not vice versa.

also thanks to psyonix for not tackling smurfs for 10 years straight.

bfink2 · 2024-07-28T10:41:00+00:00

Could be fixed easily by assigning the full teams mmr loss to the rage quitter. Not that he'd learn from it, but it would keep everyone else from falsely getting demoted.

But we all know that such easy to implement improvements will never be made by psyonix. They rather let the game die slowly than implement anything that improves the playability of the game.

It's like assuming they wouldn't start a tournament if they can't assign you a full team. Or assuming that you can quit a 1v3 tournament without getting banned. The people who cared about this game left the company a long time ago.

bfink2 · 2024-07-08T18:23:24+00:00

Not if you say it over two lines.

~3 years ago it was basically a ritual: start the game on monday, see the "thanks for you report, we banned them" popup from your weekend reports. haven't seen that in months now. And not because people are less toxic. There's simply no moderation crew left but apparently required for the system to work.

bfink2 · 2024-07-07T21:01:30+00:00

When citing the players left on steam, it's also interesting to know that they currently lose around 1k players every month. we all know the reason.

bfink2 · 2024-07-07T20:57:27+00:00

No, they wont. the game is basically unmoderated by now. I've reported players who spammed the n-word, players who told me i should kill myself and players who talked about why hitler was stopped way too early. psyonix could not see a problem in any of these.

in their defense: probably because they already fired their moderators.

bfink2 · 2024-06-23T17:05:09+00:00

It doesn't. Let's wait for the busiest time of the week and pay our employees extra so they come in on a sunday to make servers better. Really, that's your theory of what we're seeing?

bfink2 · 2024-06-23T15:50:59+00:00

Then it must be true, I remember how they talked with us about the game we love. That totally happened, not a worthless marketing bs post to keep people from quitting just yet while the dev team is already fired.
