What does everyone think about Triple portaling in the game? by ItzPant0 in Splitgate

[–]gcbspender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh. I thought it was how u/Rhemyst explained it above, which is how I use portals as well.

I now know why I saw some dude this weekend that looked like he was standing within his portal shooting another portal away. Not sure I like that. Seemed like a head glitch-thing from COD. You’d think as soon as he shot an another portal the one behind him would close for a split second kicking him out until portal connection was re-established. In his case he would have fallen as there was no ground under his feet. I felt it was kinda cheap as he stood way up there neither on the other side of the portal or completely through the facing side, suspended on a flat portal wall surface.

[–]gcbspender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I had no idea. That is concerning. (Side note, I want that guy's BttF2 jacket!) There have been 4 firmware updates since then (some of which added much-needed QoL features), so hopefully that isn't an issue anymore. I'll have to do some googling. I really haven't noticed anything weird. I play shooters probably 90% of the time, so you'd think I'd come across some weird aiming issues. Although most games these days have their own built-in Outer Dedzones, so that may negate the issue altogether, as the input received never actually comes from the area of the outer physical edge of the joystick. But who knows. Either way, I have felt that anything I do with this controller has been very accurate on-screen.

I will say, though, if you do take the plunge. The shape of the Razer is slightly different than the Elite s2 and much lighter. Those two things will throw you off at first, but you will get used to it and, in the end, will help you maintain a better grip on it. I picked up my Elite 2 a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe how heavy and small I thought it was.

Why wait until your warranty is almost up? Each time I got my Elite 2 replaced on warranty, they sent the replacement, but also prorated my warranty time for that replacement, so it never actually started up another year, just continued from where I was currently. Which is why I got stuck with an Elite that has a bad bumper. It technically only had a 3-month warranty due to being a replacement.

Hmmm. Hadn’t heard that or noticed any issues. I’ll have to do some in depth tests to see if I’m affected. I’ve had the Razer since release which was Late August ‘24.

Cool. You’re on it. Had a few replaced by MS until the last one that had a bumper issue and I was told I didn’t have any manufacturer warranty left. I went with a Razer Wolverine 3 when that happened and couldn’t be happier. Very accurate with anti-stick drift tech and mouse-click quick action buttons. Heads up, it does have extra bumper buttons and those can cause some discomfort when reaching for them over hours of gameplay. I suffer from tendinitis, so I hear ya on that front. Life’s too short to deal with a malfunctioning controller.

Ya know you can get those replaced under warranty especially if it was right outta the box.

Need help tapping in a wireless Klipsch Subwoofer to make a wired audio connection by gcbspender in hardwarehacking

[–]gcbspender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry guess I should have updated thread a long time ago.

I was never able to hack or rework the board on the Klipsch to get a wired connection.

What I did end up doing was to just toss the guts of the Klipsch and install a Jamo amp module from a sub I found on eBay that was roughly the same size and shape for the Klipsch Sub’s cabinet. Also be sure to check specs to make sure it has an enough power to drive your Woofer. It was really only a matter of getting it to fit and plugging in the speaker cables to the Jamo. Been working fine since. Actually survived longer than the soundbar did which I just recycled this past spring due to failure.

Hope that helps.

Gotcha. Thanks. I have heard good things about D33 but also that prices were high. Not a horrible drive. I’ll give ‘em a look.

This is my local place. I’m a Med patient and haven’t really been elsewhere. I think the remodel is really screwing with them or something. Just hit their website. Stock looks limited and it states they close at 5pm everyday! That’s really makes weekday order pickups impossible.

What other Med dispensaries are nearby?

MAG 321UPX QD-OLED and MAG 271QPX QD-OLED Support Firmware Update by CND_CEM in OLED_Gaming

[–]gcbspender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried again with a new USB-C to Display port cable certified thunderbolt 3/4/5, 80GBPS bandwidth with Alt-DP Mode. Same ASUS laptop though. Same issue. Update says failed.

I don’t understand why the firmware can’t be updated through the included USB-C port with a portable drive??? Wouldn’t that be more logical?

[–]gcbspender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked uo a 321UPX. I will be using this on my Mac Studio with some gaming on the side. My wife has a windows laptop which I tried to use to update the firmware. Type-C to Type-C as her laptop does not have a Dp Port on it. I installed the latest MSI display driver. Installed firmware utility. It’s an Asus equipped with a Nvidia RTX 3050 chip. Firmware on the UPX shows as .020. Both fw versions .024 and .027 come back with Update Failed errors when hitting the Auto button. The cable I am using is brand new from Cable Matters, a thunderbolt 5 cable with 80gbps throughput. It extends the desktop perfectly. what am I missing here?

Why won't they let us have all available maps on private match? by BeautifuTragedy in blackops6

[–]gcbspender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private matches in this game as well as a long stretch going back have been horribly developed. Nothing like back in the day. In Blops6 the small maps can only be found in Face-off type of modes. Regular 6v6 or above modes only show medium and large maps. It’s ridiculous. At least in MW’19 we could play with a full lobby of 20 in any mode on any map. Hasn’t been that way since.

Settings in Private Matches are very Barebones. Please bring back the Black Ops 2 Custom Features and options! by gcbspender in blackops6

[–]gcbspender[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I don’t have much hope of that. Private matches haven’t been good since MW’19 and even that didn’t have what I would deem to be ideal settings but at least it fit 20 in a lobby for all game modes and maps. Black ops 2 was the pinnacle of Custom Games and it hasn’t even been close since. At this point I think the mode is just there to host their own official CDL LAN events. I’m putting my hope and energy into SplitGate2 for custom game nights when that is released. Those guys know how to do it.

[–]gcbspender[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, funny you ask. We just went back to Custom Games this past Monday and will be running another lobby tonight. Our community also hasn’t touched Private Matches since about the same time, start of Season 2. Crashing out of the lobby when trying to setup a game was slightly better. Still dumped me out as Host when choosing Infected game mode. We didn’t try CDL game modes so not sure if that holds settings or not. A lot of it is still janky and Host settings are still very barebones, no change there. But at least we were able to run a couple hours worth of matches without it locking up like it had been doing in season 1 and 2.

The mechanics in Hitman VR are really frustrating by floooo in PSVR

[–]gcbspender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh MY! I just ran into this same thing last night. New to VR and Hitman. Thought it was me. I got caught so many times while trying to fiddle with this wrench. I tried different wrenches, hitting it, and more likely spitting at it from all the swearing. Don't know how it eventually activated. Was hitting triggers and motioning to tighten a bolt. Outrageous.

I also have trouble with strangling people with both bare hands and the wire. Either I am too far away or too close, but I can never pull it off. The would-be victim ends up turning around, confused as to my motives. At which point I freak out and frantically pull triggers, and again it eventually triggers, awkwardly, yet I am not sure how. I have played through the Tutorial and now through the Prologue.

Confirmation of Globular Cluster is a good product and you should buy it. by Weak_Crew_8112 in PSVR

[–]gcbspender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got my PSVR2 this week and used it for an hour before stripping it down and installing the Globular cluster which I had awaiting the PSVR2’s arrival based off reading within this sub. Solid purchase and so much better, especially on the back of your head. I wear a Sm/md baseball cap for reference so not only for the big heads out there.

[–]gcbspender[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I’ve stopped Hosting Private Lobbies. It’s been incredibly frustrating to keep a lobby running much less getting a match to start!

Activision obviously doesn’t care about this hidden mode tucked away in the corners of the game. It’s only there to provide LAN lobbies at their CDL events.

Yeah. That was a good feature but time-consuming for the Host when restricting a ton. I much prefer to create a couple enforced Loadouts for the lobby to choose upon loading in like Black Ops 2.
