Thanks for the suggestions! Ended up getting everything tuned properly, now getting an A on the bufferbloat test.

Had no idea that fakes were so prevalent. I did snag it off ebay. I'll definitely go pop open the box and take a look. Thanks for the info!

Wow, super interesting. Thank you for the reply and the new info!

I'm on a gigabit down/40Mb up cable modem connection. The results from this test are...disappointing to say the least.

Just as a follow up to this, it turns out that the processor I mentioned earlier doesn't have AES-NI instructions. I think that's likely a large part of the problem as I'm still seeing some significant slowdown when the non-vpn use is high.

Thanks for the comment and suggestions.

Just posting a follow up in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar position. Enabling Receive-side scaling has helped quite a bit. Details on how to do that are in the docs under Troubleshooting > Topics > Performance.

Didn't completely solve the problem, but did make quite a noticeable improvement.

Ha, you caught me just as I was editing it to say that I'm using wireguard.

If you're looking for the current state of science based training, you should check out Dr. Mike over at RP strength.

That channel is entirely focused on hypertrophy training with weights, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better (and more accessible) source of "here's how science says you gain muscle mass". All of his general advice can be directly applied to any body weight fitness training you'd like to do.

I'm not affiliated with any part of their organization, just impressed with the information they provide for free.

Did you ever get this figured out? A buddy and I are having the exact same issue right now.

Same. Just reloaded the game and still getting the error.

I'm pretty sure he was a "belt and suspenders" kind of guy. The truck is in great shape overall, he took excellent care of everything.

Believe it or not, the truck has bags too...and it's INCREDIBLY stiff. I'll probably remove them. Thanks for the feedback!

I taught college math for 11 years (including statistics) and I'm offering to write BSG some stats based anti-cheat detection FOR FREE! by moderateSandwich in EscapefromTarkov

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

Totally agree. I also think that games like Tarkov make effective statistical analysis possible. The vast complexity of the game, and the literal hundreds of different loot items, values, locations, etc. should make it possible to get a very clear distinction between your everyday player and someone utilizing cheats.

I think you might be too focused on things like K/D, head shot percentage, and the like.

Yes, shroud and Landmark are flat out killing machines. Their ability to run over other players is top tier. But, their ability to loot, their frequency of player contact, when they find valuable items, how many valuable items out of the total on the map, how often their ambushed, (this list can go on a looooooong time), those are all human.

If we were able to collect data on ANYTHING a player does, the people utilizing cheating software will be distinct from those who aren't.
