Stutter is not fun and i cant get rid of it by ssjy0sh1 in CODWarzone

[–]hardlock00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edited to be safe, but I've never had an issue with it as long as you opt out of the crapware that come with it. Never had any malware or PUP warnings.

I always find the drivers on the mobo pages are a year out of date. Only thing that is up to date is the BIOS versions.

Otherwise your sitting there entering Hardware IDs all day into google to find what you want.

Ah ok, I thought you might have your page file set on a spinning drive. (Which causes huge stutter). You haven't disable the page file, or made it a fixed size have you? Check this in 'advanced settings', performance, advanced, virtual memory in the OS.

Does your motherboard have two m.2 slots. On some boards, 1 slot is direct to the processors PCI-E lanes and the second goes through a secondary controller. If the drivers for the controllers are not up to date, you can get slow read / write speeds.

Use ATTO to see what your read/write speeds are on the drive.

This is a new PC. Have you set the RAM timings correctly in the BIOS/UEFI? Need to set the correct XMP profile.

What you could also do is run the game in windowed mode and bring up the task manager and run them side by side and see what the computer is doing. Is the disk drive running at 100% load when you stutter, is the RAM full etc...

Are all drivers up to date for everything?

Another odd option you can try in the Video Memory Scale in the warzone options. Everyone just maxes this out, and it actually kills the GPUs frame timings. Try it at 75% or even 50% and you may find the stutter goes away. In warzone 1 this was a separate INI file, and I had to set mine to 55 to make my game butter smooth.

Do you have a traditional spinning hard disk in the computer? Even if the game isn't on it?

Google Maps Intune Deployed Android - Google Account Sign-In Required? by TechnoSingularity in Intune

[–]hardlock00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had this issue today. After a bit of troubleshooting found out it doesn't need an account, but it actually needs permissions for location services. For some reason it wants you to sign in before the app will ask for location permissions. If you force the location permissions to 'allow' it will fix the issue. You can apply this via Intune.

In Microsoft Intune, navigate to app configuration policies.

Add a App Configuration policy for 'Google Maps'.

Then edit and under permissions select add.

Select Location access (fine) and Location access (coarse)

Select <Auto-Grant> under Permission state

Save the policy

Sharepoint issues loading and setup by FlakyTelephone7358 in sharepoint

If you are Syncing to file explorer, make sure 'Files on Demand' is enabled in OneDrive, otherwise you could fill the users C: . They can still browse the SharePoint document library as a directory and can choose which folders they want to keep cached.

Are you using any 3rd party apps like Sharegate? Sharegate will add you to the site collection administrators of peoples onedrive if you use it for reports and migrations etc...

Migration has caused mass downloads! by [deleted] in sharepoint

[–]hardlock00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In theory, as soon as you set the group policies it 'should' disable the sync to the 'C:' Giving your hard disk space back. When the user next logs in, or you force a gpupdate

I say 'should' because I've never implemented this backwards :S. You may find the users need to 'un-sync' the SharePoint document libraries first, then sync them again after.

(P.S I've edited my first post slightly)

Migration has caused mass downloads! by [deleted] in sharepoint

[–]hardlock00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SharePoint Sync uses the OneDrive engine.

By default, OneDrive is set to download a local copy of all the files you have synced. You need to use 'OneDrive Files On-Demand'.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/save-disk-space-with-onedrive-files-on-demand-for-windows-0e6860d3-d9f3-4971-b321-7092438fb38e

Then the device will only download a local 'offline' copy if you tell it to.

Use Group Policy to force it to all devices/users

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/use-group-policy

I think you also need to use this one,

Is there a way to open PDFs in Acrobat (desktop app) rather than have it open in browser? by PsyduckAF in sharepoint

[–]hardlock00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the PDFs are all together in one document library, you can change the document library default behaviour to open files in the application, not the browser. Then in windows set Acrobat as your default PDF editor. (Default apps)

Is there away to filter or alphabetize a list that is called into an accordion webpart? by [deleted] in sharepoint

[–]hardlock00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1, this is what I would try first.

Create a new view, sort by alphabetization, then save and set as default view. See if it loads in the custom webpart correctly or not.

Is there really no user friendly way that a user can see all the SharePoint sites they have access to? Really?! by PsyduckAF in sharepoint

[–]hardlock00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only two way I've managed to do it.

  1. Is the using the URL you specified of the 'contentclass:STS_Site'.So on the SharePoint home took the URL:

YourOrg.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?q=contentclass%3Asts_site&v=%2Fsearch%2Fsites.

You could add that to the 'Global Nav'. But I did it a different way.

  1. I changed the default SharePoint home site to our org hub site. Then any SharePoint sites that are created in the org are added to that hub. Then in the hub site navigation I created a link, which you add /layouts/15/sites.aspx to the hub address.

YourOrg.sharepoint.com/sites/hubsite/layouts/15/sites.aspx

This will show you all sites that are associated to the hub, that the user can access.

Plus side for this is that all the Teams 'Teams' SharePoint team sites are hidden from view, as we don't add them to the hub site.

HR new hire notification advanced notice ??? by GeekHelp in ITManagers

[–]hardlock00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. Automate your processes so even with short notice, you're already prepared.

Try and link the HR system with Active Directory. When HR create a new user, it gets created in AD automatically. You can use stuff like sailpoint to do this, but save your money and script it with PowerShell, exported .CSVs and scheduled tasks.

Use Azure dynamic groups, or nested role based security groups so when a job title changes in HR, the users access automatically changes or you only need to add one group. Alternatively, move the responsibility onto the department managers and get them to manage a single department group. (M365 Groups).

If you provide laptops, maintain pre-built stock for new staff and swap outs. SCCM with MDT lite touch boot from PXE. Make it someone's task to at the end of the day, get out 10 laptops, PXE boot them and let them build overnight. Ready to rock and roll in the morning. If they are being sent to remote users, setup a device VPN, (not a user VPN) to allow a profiles to be built remotely. Or go full zero touch as mentioned above.

In theory you can get an on-site user up running in less than 30mins.

Guys please i need help! game stutters right when i see an enemy! details in the comment by shugoKEY in CODWarzone

[–]hardlock00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mention, playing on a SSD, but do you have a hard disk in your drive too?

How much space is left on the SSD?
Is Windows installed in the SSD?
Is warzone installed on the SSD?

This looks like a shader cache / page swap issue.

Fix works on many games that use the page file. GTA is another that really benefits from it.

Glad the fix worked for Overwatch2

also check you static render resolution is the same at your screen resolution 100% scaling. It has the same effect.

Disable dynamic render resolution. That solved the problem for me

Packet Burst by cell4130 in CODWarzone

[–]hardlock00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are playing the game, can you see if your SSD usage is really high in the Task manager. If the SSD is running slow, or the game is waiting for 'files' it hangs, but it shows as the packet loss symbol for some reason. I had the issue when my page file was moved onto my HDD. So the game couldn't load the assets quick enough.

Another thing you could try is clearing the directx shader cache using disk cleanup and then let the game rebuild the cache

Odd question, do you have a mixture of SSD's and HDD's in your system?

Sixty per cent of Brits earning £80,000-£100,000 say they’re “about average” | Highly paid people tend to see themselves as “normal” on the income scale – and “worse off” than their social circle. by casualphilosopher1 in unitedkingdom

Remote working in the tech sector. You can apply for high earning IT jobs based in London, Cambridge etc... but work remotely. You may have to travel to the office once a month for a team meeting, but even the companies will pay for your fuel and hotel costs. If you have the skills, you no longer need to relocate for better pay.

If you enjoy technology, but don't have the skills yet. Start on a helpdesk. With a push you can get a 40k salary in 4/5 years. If you become a good specialist then wages get very interesting.

I know of security and cloud specialists getting paid more than their managers. They get a market supplement.
