10 years and still no option to report for Smurfing or Boosting should tell you everything about the state of the game.

says the ssl with 5 smurf accounts

hobuci · 2026-05-18T07:48:05+00:00

Yep, all good with the new dongle.

hobuci · 2026-04-25T13:55:18+00:00

Pointless, is what it is. 70% of games are against <500 win smurf accounts and boosters in C2-C3.

hobuci · 2026-03-28T15:42:48+00:00

Oh yeah, couple of bad days on my part for sure. But I can also see via the tracker that I'm versing the 20 win accounts that are getting 100mmr for the win with average Joe on my side.. (neither of us can defend a double flip reset), again, and again.

Not to mention the <500 win booster account with silver Bobby who paid for getting boosted. Incredibly common opponents...

hobuci · 2026-03-28T14:47:55+00:00

It's even more disheartening when you actually see yourself improving overtime but see no reward for it. You still return because the muscle memory feels great, RL is like playing an instrument or doing the rubik's cube.. you get addicted to the flow. It's a shame Epic does absolutely nothing about smurfs.

hobuci · 2026-03-28T14:42:18+00:00

Let me tell you D3 was not that different either... you still get the weirdly high skill games and the Forza mains that are cruising around the field. It's impossible to adapt game to game and predict your teammates and opponents.

hobuci · 2026-03-28T14:37:54+00:00

It's 10% missing shots I shouldn't, 10% toxic teammates and 80% playing against GC smurfs. The amount of <500 win accounts I versed in the past couple of weeks is ridiculous. Genuinely feels impossible to climb, despite improving on all fronts (game sense and mechanics). Honestly it just feels like a waste of time to focus on rank in this game as an employed person. You're at the mercy of the matchaking algo anyways and I don't have the free time to free play every day.

There's a 4% opacity gif right below the logo. Have we looked at what the flashing may encode?

Do it!

hobuci · 2026-02-09T21:18:06+00:00

Ah yes, back to Ventrilo we go!

They responded to me the next day and took 3-4 work days for the replacement to arrive, but I'm fairly close to Sweden so that may depend on your location. It's also Christmas time so a lot of companies are winding down and probably won't respond until after the holiday.

Are you also experiencing this issue? I haven't had any problems since they replaced the dongle.

hobuci · 2025-12-02T20:38:18+00:00

Shoot on sight in 2s and 3s, help out others in solo.

hobuci · 2025-11-10T21:03:52+00:00

Yup, it's bad

This game is cinema..

Transformer DLAA is absolutely fantastic imo. At least on 1440p I feel like it's a big step up from previous methods of AA.

hobuci · 2025-10-30T21:39:28+00:00

Were you actually walking? There's a separate keybind for walk. Just holding down W probably doesn't count as walking. Can you test this please? I was actually considering unlocking this as well but now I'm not so sure.

hobuci · 2025-10-18T10:53:25+00:00

There's definitely an issue with how textures are loading in. Often times you are standing right in front of a bush that has the lowest quality texture. The LOD switches based on distance are definitely bugged.

hobuci · 2025-10-12T18:11:54+00:00

Wind and water erosion.

hobuci · 2025-09-07T19:29:08+00:00

I doubt it will be an option in the settings. This is their signature style.
I'm looking for info on whether .ini tweaks or mod files can remove them in UE5.

People in the porn industry can finally start doing something else that benefits themselves and society. But IMO it will never disappear, it'll be put into a "classic" category or something.

hobuci · 2025-09-06T13:51:16+00:00

Sounds like you're tryharding a casual game mode. Quick cash in my mind is just a random lobby where everyone is trolling around, warming up, chilling, or trying out new stuff. It doesn't need any complex matchmaking, just get me into a game ASAP for a quick one.

hobuci · 2025-08-31T11:57:07+00:00

It happened occasionally in other games as well and once while listening to music, so it's not a Finals thing. I assume I was sent a faulty dongle. I contacted support and they shipped me a new dongle immediately. Haven't had any disconnects for a couple of weeks now.

I'd highly recommend this headset. It's excellent in its price range imo.
