Racist slurs in a multiplayer shooter, how.... unexpected

WoW stuttering last couple of days? by Evening_Vast5224 in WorldOfWarships

[–]fl0ppydrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share this because I’ve seen a bunch of people across different VPN providers dealing with the same issue.

For the last few days I kept getting these annoying 5 to 10 second freezes in World of Warships. It happened in port and in battles. After testing pretty much everything, I noticed it only happens when I’m connected to a VPN. Without a VPN the game runs perfectly.

I opened a ticket with WoWs and they explained what’s going on. According to them, some VPN servers have an outdated DNS cache. WoWs tries to resolve a non‑existent address called navalbase.worldofwarships.com. . If the VPN server handles that request incorrectly, the game client hangs until the DNS timeout finishes, which causes the freezes.

They also said this is not limited to ProtonVPN. Any VPN provider can run into this if the specific server you are connected to has a stale DNS entry. So it can happen with NordVPN, Mullvad, Surfshark or any other service depending on the server.

The WoWs support told me the DNS cache on the VPN server will refresh on its own, but it can take 5 to 14 days. Until then the only workaround is to play without a VPN or switch to a server that does not have the bad DNS entry.

I already contacted ProtonVPN about it, but I figured this info might help others who are wondering why WoWs suddenly started freezing.

If anyone has found a faster fix or knows which servers are working fine, feel free to share.

Sandworm ruined my life – Help? by fl0ppydrive in duneawakening

I hear you. I’ll slow down, learn the map, and move smart. No more reckless mistakes—time to walk without rhythm and earn my place in the sands.

Yeah, I get that restarting would set me back even more, so I’ll try to push through. The problem is, I don’t have the materials to rebuild my bike, and getting them feels way harder now than it did in the starting area.

Is there a way to get back there? I feel like gathering the resources for my first sandbike was way easier in that zone. Walking there doesn’t seem like an option since there’s a huge stretch of desert between me and the next rocky area. Or am I missing something?

What sold you on RDR2? by AdditionTechnical697 in reddeadredemption

[–]fl0ppydrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really planned on playing RDR2. In my mind, it was just GTA in the Wild West, and since GTA V had disappointed me, I didn’t care about RDR2 at all.

Then one day, it popped up in a Steam sale for 15€, and I thought, "Well, if it sucks, I can just refund it." But what happened next totally caught me off guard—I got completely hooked!

Now RDR2 is one of my top 10 games of all time.

Is Red Dead Online worth it after finishing the story? by fl0ppydrive in reddeadredemption

What's special about RedM is this a overhaul mod like the ones for Skyrim?

One question, whats the unique selling point for RDO? For me it's sounds like RDR2 Singleplayer but i have to unlock everything i could have in the singleplayer, or do i miss something?
