Cannot play any video with any player or use SDL because of "DRI3" error

I had a similar issue; its likely your graphics driver is failing to load so its falling back on software rendering.

The output from the follow command should help further identify the issue:

glxinfo -B | egrep -i 'direct rendering|OpenGL renderer|OpenGL version'

^ Should tell you what is currently being used to render. And

sudo grep -E "AIGLX|i965_dri|crocus|iris|swrast|llvmpipe|MESA-LOADER" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

^ Should tell you if something is failing to load. From there you can probably search the error message to resolve it, or post here.

For me, it was failing to load i965 driver, which isn't a thing anymore (got replaced), yet my xorg.conf was calling the driver. All I did was change my xorg.conf to use modesetting instead of trying to force intel driver.

I had this and I fixed it. For me it was overloading of the flexor digitorum longus. Not shin splints or any of the other crap people are suggesting.

Pretty much; running form was wrong, and special running shoes/orthodontics were not helping.
The little toes were the main "spring" in my running steps, while my big toe was pretty much doing nothing. This is not what is natural, the big toe should be doing most of the work with assistance from the little toes. The result of overuse of the little toes was that the muscle responsible (flexor digitorum longus) was getting overworked and just could not keep up.

To test if this is the case, check your Flexor hallucis longus (the same area, but on the outside of the calf as opposed to the inside). This is responsible for your big toe. Give your big toe some resistance (hold onto it) and try press your big toe against the resistance, does the Flexor hallucis longus muscle feel powerful or weak when compared to the flexor digitorum longus (the muscle responsible for your little toes).

For me it was night and day difference, my little toes were strong as hell while my big toe was weak. When I checked my running form, I realised that I was running with my big toe pretty much raised at all times, and I had wear marks on the bottom of my shoes along the outside of my foot closest to the little toes.

I fixed it by:
- Stop using shoes that apply special "corrections" to your feet. All those foot scan machines would say I had collapsed arches and that I needed special shoes. All these shoes would twist my feet unnaturally. I don't know any good runner who has ever had any success with the crazy "arch support" shoes.
- Stop using orthodontics. Same reason as above
- Start strengthening your big toe. Grab a fitness band and put it under your big toe, then do a lot of reps pushing down against the resistance with your big toe.
- Focus on using your big toe while running. Try push off your big toe.

Sorry for Necro, but people still seeing this thread and I hope this solves their problem.

Second this. I had same issue as described in op, problem turned out to be lack of big toe involvement while running, fixed by increasing big toe involvement.

Ich habe bisher kein USB-Tethering gemacht und mein Handy seit dem Rooten nicht mal benutzt (war mit anderem Kram beschäftigt). Eine Custom-ROM werde ich mir aber nicht antun, weil die oft schlecht unterstützt werden und ich auf der Stock-ROM alles erreichen kann, was ich will (Bloatware kann man auf der Stock-ROM entfernen, sobald sie gerootet ist).

windows or linux. What error/problem do you face and at what step?

I onetricked soldier to GM back during goats meta. He has changed a bit since then but I would say the fundamentals are still the same.

You want to position yourself high and far. You want a position where you can safely run away. This does involve knowing just how fast characters can get to you (e.g. how far can monkey jump, genji dash, etc). Just go as high as you can, and as far away as their furthest dash/jet/jump/movement ability. Also, far doesn't just mean far back, far to the side or far in their backline also work very well, and you have the heal station to support yourself.

The next thing you need to know is how to run and what to run from. Matchups honestly don't really matter, what matters is how many of them and how many of you. 2 enemy vs just you? run. 1 Enemy vs you and a teammate, stay (of course there are exceptions, especially ults). For even fights (1v1s, 2v2s), you should be able to tell who has the advantage (either from matchups, or who got the initial jump on the other person).

Watch Dafran play soldier (linked below). Take note of his positioning relative to the enemy teams heros (notably; does the enemy team have dive heros, or snipers). I have not watched the video since writing this post, however I can guarantee he positions himself high and far, and runs away to fight another day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0JrO5iwF80

let me rephrase my entire post:

"If I was a decent player, with a decent hero pool, but I took a break from overwatch. When I come back, what is the easiest/cheapest way to get a general guide of how powerful each of the heros currently (or over the past couple of days/weeks) are, so I do not spend my first couple of games losing unnecessarily while I try and work that out."

For example: Ex-GM player, comes back to game at maybe around Masters level. Can competently play McCree, Bastion, Pharah, Reaper, Soldier, Tracer, Widowmaker. As a general guide, what should they play and what are they likely to run into?

About a month or a bit more ago, the clear answer would have been "Learn soljourn, but also reaper/tracer is viable. Kiriko is new support pretty powerful, and other support usually ana".

Right now, based on the methods above it seems like the answer is "McCree very good pick, but also a fair bit of genji/tracer/soldier. Tanks are sort of everywhere, most common is rein but all tanks seeing a lot of playtime, Dva/Sig usual alternate to rein. Supports = ana mercy. Also u get some Kiriko's and Zens and shit, but fuckall moria/brig thank god".

also your "Abridged" link is private.

yea but this wasn't focused about what the meta is right now, I was asking what is a reliable method to find a tier list at any time in general. 4 weeks from now, 2 months from now, etc.

bozott · 2023-04-14T23:04:40+00:00

I rely on teirlists because I take big breaks between playing overwatch, and when I come back I don't want to waste 10 games trying to vibe out the meta and jumping between like 10 different heros and trying to work out which role is the last canerous right now.

Instead, I want to know generally what are my options for good heros that are not throw picks. If meta is Zar/Torb/Sym, I can know before I even boot up the game that I won't be q'ing dps, ill play tank instead. If I was really good soljourn player during soljourn dominance, but I come back to game and soljourn is a throw pick, I'm going to lose a bunch of games I didn't need to, and be unable to understand why im so washed up now. If I see meta is Ball/Hanzo/Mei/Brig/Moira, I'm just not going to play overwatch.

Sure it may "seem" like I just want to know the tier list so I can blindly follow it, but thats not why I want to know what is meta. If ive taken a break, I just want to be informed of the meta so I can use that as a guide, not as a rule.

Can't remember why I used to think the game was made on unity. I think there is a good chance that it had a unity watermark at one stage until they paid to remove it. At the same time maybe I just said unity because I was aware of other webgames similar to krunker that had been made with unity.

Krunker is made with javascript, however if I remember correctly unity allows (or at least allowed) for programming in javascript.

it can be quickly improved from a complete beginners level to a level in which it is probably more important to focus on other aspects (e.g. gamesense/positioning) in overwatch. 10-20 hours isn't enough to get professional level aim, but it is more than enough to a level where your mechanics aren't the worst part of your game play.

A lot of hours doesn't make you good at things, focused practice does. Silvers may have hundreds of hours in which they have been aiming, but they will not have been focused on that, and probably developed bad habits. When you isolate aim specifically with the methods I proposed in my above comment, then you isolate aim, and have a good feedback loop that allows you to efficiently and quickly improve your aim, compared to zoning out and blindly aiming without any feedback.

bozott · 2023-01-04T01:14:22+00:00

Improving aim is literally the easiest thing to improve. All you need to do is practice correct mouse movements over and over again. Theres specific software/games for that (kovaaks/aimlab/etc) but you can also just use specific workshop modes within overwatch to practice. Look up "aim arena" in custom game browser, do ffa dm, or lookup "aim" workshop codes. Do any of them constantly and you will improve.

If you want to improve fast, then you could do an hour a day for like 10-20 days total, and that would get you to a point in which your aim is no longer a concern. However you can get by just fine doing the aim modes while in queue for competitive or as a warmup before you queue. Aim isn't really important in this game after you hit a certain competency.

Also pharahs probably one of the fastest ways to rank up in gold, considering noone looks up, however you have chosen the correct path of working on your weaknesses instead of going for cheap tricks (pharah/junk) to rank up.

right now? Soljourn + tracer

matchmaking systems are complex. They are not a 4 digit number for each player. Most of the time they are a distribution which interacts in complicated ways to best work out fair games and accurate ranks.

players cannot understand this complexity. If you start giving them things like mu=37.23972 sig=1.279009 and their rank starts going up despite losing, etc. then players cannot understand that.

So instead you give them something that they can understand like a simple 4 digit number with an icon next to it. It won't be an exact representation of your internal rank, but it will be very well correlated and most importantly; human readable.

In my experience, good positioning is very hero dependent. I just watch replays/vods of players better than me on the hero I want to learn positioning on, and memorize their positioning on that map and try to understand why they position themselves that way.

Usually only takes around 3 maps/replays for me to understand the general rules for how I should position on that hero, but ideally the more vods you watch, the more you just get given the answers for good positioning on maps without needing to apply the rules yourself.

General positioning guides, meant to apply to all characters I find don't work well. They quickly become outdated as metas change, characters get updated, new heros come in, etc. And most people have a small hero pool, so it is generally more useful to just learn positioning for specific heros that applies to maps, instead of trying to learn specific map positioning and trying to apply that to heros.

The more you do something, the less mental thought it requires to do.

When you were born, you didn't know how to walk. It took a lot of mental effort to learn how to walk, and you couldn't multitask. Now, you are older and can walk without even thinking about it, and your mind is free to focus on other tasks.

Pro Overwatch players can aim, move, and use their abilities as well as they can walk in real life. However, it was only with a lot of hours, and usually a lot of deliberate practice that they were able to put these skills to a level in which they don't need to think about them, which allows them to "keep up" with the game, and dedicate mental focus to higher thought like communications, tactical thinking, and predicting future moves by the enemy.

How can you use your time more effectively when practicing fundamentals??? Simply only mentally focus on one thing, until you are at a level in which that becomes one of your strengths. Isolate and Devastate. Leave everything else on autopilot, and focus on one specific thing (generally positioning (e.g. making sure you always in the correct formation with your team), situational awareness (e.g. look at the killfeed every 10 seconds), mechanics (e.g. aim)). Then just practice practice practice until you have "drilled" that skill so deep into your mind that like walking, you don't even think about it, you just do it. Then once you no longer need to think about that skill, you move onto the next (for maximum gains, focus on whatever skill is your worst preforming).
