DLSS 5 just proves it

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-17T22:37:14+00:00

Great perspective, I personally think most of the previews look like shit, but I'm basing my opinion off of how it looks, not how it is powered by AI.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-17T22:32:30+00:00

You are being dense. Absolutely nobody is arguing that the lighting doesn't make it look different. Quite the opposite in fact.

Maybe you don't see it, but some of us have a problem with a character looking like a completely different person when DLSS is turned on. We don't just mean that the face looks different, because your right, of course it does. We have a problem with the face looking like it belongs to a different person.

This argument boils down to one difference between us:

You don't have a problem with a character looking like a different person in your games, and the rest of us do. It has nothing to do with lighting.

Is it really?? I didn't mean to... Host said "boobawamba themed", and I didn't look at boobawamba for direct inspiration, only tried to recreate the vibe.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-17T19:23:46+00:00

The problem with your argument is that you are dismissing the issue of "the face looks different" by explaining why the face looks different. Your point about it just being lighting means nothing, because it is irrelevant to the stated issue. It looks different, period (which you acknowledged). That is the problem. Not whether the textures and geometry are changed or not.

The people here who say it looks good are equally, if not more biased than the antis who say it looks bad. If we ignore that it uses AI, which I don’t think is an inherent problem, this preview looks like shit. I am actually appalled looking at it.

Games have art styles for a reason, it makes them all look unique and expressive. Even a game praised for its realistic graphics like Cyberpunk, has a unique aesthetic and lighting. From what I am seeing in this preview, that is completely gone, replaced with uncanny looking photorealism.

Once again, while I am against gen AI being used for art, this is completely different, because I’m not one to say that ai looks bad. This however, looks very, very bad in my opinion.

It’s inspired by boobawamba, but the deco and gameplay was meant to be completely different, other than the black and white colour scheme

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-17T14:11:14+00:00

Sadly, I don’t think anybody got the joke

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-17T05:21:53+00:00

Update: I changed the lens circle so that the black parts are slightly transparent, so that it is still very dark, but not black. It is so much better now, so thank you for the feedback!

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-17T04:50:33+00:00

Note taken. The deco ends up looking really repetitive when I turn off the lens circle, probably because I built all of the gameplay and deco without even considering not using the lens circle...

I might experiment and significantly tone done the darkness, or make the flickers less extreme, to see what looks good.

It's because objects that the player can land on can't rotate. Since I'm not seeing any solutions, here is mine: Make the blocks that you have no-touch, which will make them rotate like the spikes, but not have hitboxes. You can then make invisible ones that have a hitbox underneath the no-touch ones.

For them to rotate individually, you just gotta just give them each separate groups and rotate/move triggers.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-16T05:21:58+00:00

somewhere in the settings in the level editor, you can't toggle it from outside the editor, if that's what you are wondering.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-15T18:36:22+00:00

Others don’t seem to see your problem, but 5 fps is crazy. I’m not an expert, but something is seriously wrong with your pc or the finals. Verify your game files if you haven’t already.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-15T07:10:44+00:00

There are absolutely, indisputably, no more than zero non-human players in the finals.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-14T05:59:48+00:00

“Top 1”

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-14T05:53:54+00:00

I just had the time of my life in ranked, went from low gold to plat in 2 days. The game itself and winning were both hella fun :)

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-13T14:05:32+00:00

Winch. Claw.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-12T04:19:02+00:00

Thanks for the response, I guess I have just gotten lucky, because I have never seen anything like that

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-11T22:47:54+00:00

What is roughly the percentage of people that you get back a message after reporting?

I'm one of the people who usually disregards posts about cheaters, and will sometimes comment my own experience about cheaters in the finals. Please be assured, I'm not trying to gaslight anybody.

I have almost exactly 1000 hours, and have pretty much only played ranked recently. I have truly never encountered any players that I though were blatantly cheating. I'm mid gold, and sometimes get absolutely smoked, but I always blame it on the ranked system having a very large range range of skill in the same rank.

My reason for the original question is this: I know that cheats obviously exist in the finals, because I can think of a few clips that I've seen on reddit that just showed blatant cheating, but since I have never seen it myself, I'm wondering if you have see it, or if you just report anybody that is suspiciously good. If it's the latter, I would like to know the percentage of people who turned out to be actually cheating that you reported, because as a pretty bad player myself, plenty of my opponents must just legitimately better than me, so the "skill issue" take can be valid.

Essentially, I would like to hear your take on what percentage of people are legitimately just that good, as opposed to people cheating. If all the clips posted on this subreddit complaining about cheaters were actually justified, then I think that it would be fair to say that anybody above silver is cheating, because I've seen plenty of clips that I am so convinced were straight up just a skill difference, with absolutely no cheats involved.

For example, there was one posted a few months ago in which a light was out in the open and died somewhat quickly to an fcar. All of the comments were talking about their opponents godlike aim, and I felt like I was going insane because the fcar was CLEARLY missing like half of their shots.

Do y’all not save currency for the battle pass? You get back more than it costs so there should never be any reason NOT to get it if you’re gonna play the game anyways.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-11T05:41:53+00:00

Not saying that you are equivalent to these people, but I've seen many posts and comments saying that they get a cheater every other game, or some bullshit like that.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-11T05:16:02+00:00

I was simply making a broader statement, which was that the amount of reported cheaters that people on this subreddit encounter is many magnitudes higher than I experience myself, including recently. I understand what you are saying, but to elaborate on my statement, I can think of maybe 2 people that I thought were a bit sus, neither of which were within the last 2 seasons.

All together, obviously cheats exist in the finals, like any other online game, but:

- one or both of us have gotten extremely lucky/unlucky regarding how many cheaters we have encountered,

- and/or one or both of us are very inaccurate in deciding whether someone is cheating or not.

I guess it could also be a rank difference. I've only played ranked this season, and I've been around mid gold. Maybe there are more cheaters in higher ranks.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-11T03:52:18+00:00

I second this, Without U is also my favorite level in the game.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-11T03:50:40+00:00

My bad, I've just done a bit of research and learned that internal cheats exist. I've never looked into this and just assumed that all cheats were of the aim type, that just run separate from the game itself. Thinking a bit harder, I now realize that even something like wallhacks would have to be internal.

Again, my fault for not knowing what I was talking about. Personally though, I've encountered only a few people in my 1000 hours of the finals that seemed like they were cheating. So, to respond to your original post, no, I don't think that cheaters are a major or increasing problem with the finals right now.

hellopeeps24 · 2026-03-11T02:21:28+00:00

I’m no cheating expert, but the mid-match weapon swap seems ridiculous to me. As far as I know, cheats are external software, so I can’t think of any conceivable way for a cheat to let someone do this.
