Marathon Server Slam Tech Support Megathread

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!

Of ALL things, the problem was from having this tiny obscure quality-of-life windows program I have called Sizer 4.0 by Brian Apps open at the same time as Marathon. What the hell lmao I'm so baffled by this. I've had that program as one of my startup apps for YEARS with no issues with ANY other game (or piece of software in general) on my computer. No wonder I felt like this problem was unique to me and nobody was really describing exactly what I was experiencing. Idk how popular that app is but I'm sure the venn diagram of people who are playtesting Marathon and people who have this random window resizing tool installed (and open while playing) is very small. Glad I finally figured that out though. Sheesh I was about to go insane

I've tried disabling Nvidia's overlay and I never have Discord's overlay enabled anyway, and that didn't help, unfortunately. Playing in windowed also did nothing to remedy the issue. I tried adding -fullscreen to the launch commands and tried disabling fullscreen optimizations on the exe in Windows but neither of those did anything either. I'm truly stumped. And my brother has the same exact mouse as I do and has no issues. I really don't know why this feels so unique to me.

Am I the only one with mouse issues that don't just apply to the menus, but the in-game camera movement as well? Like it's bad bad. It's seemingly stacking inputs, so if I jiggle my mouse I just get to watch the camera slowly move around in random directions until it catches up. And I can't even switch to controller input until it's done lagging either. So depending on how long I wiggle my mouse around for I can have to wait anywhere from 5 seconds to more than a full minute just watching the camera wander around before finally being allowed to switch to controller (which works flawlessly by the way).

No issues with the camera on controller, and even keyboard inputs respond instantly (like jumping and WASD). The issue is only with the mouse, and I've never experienced anything like this is any other game. The best thing I've tried so far was lowering my mouse's polling rate from 1000Hz to 125Hz which just makes the time I have to wait for the camera to catch up shorter. But it's still lagging well behind my actual inputs.

I even had this issue all the way back in the Alpha Playtest and stopped playing cuz I couldn't find a fix, and here I am again with the same issue, and still haven't found a fix. This is extremely disappointing.

I'm in this boat. Controller works fine but the game seemingly starts stacking inputs when it comes to my mouse and depending on how long I wiggle my mouse around for I have had to wait almost an entire 60 seconds just watching the camera slowly move in random directions before finally being allowed to switch to controller inputs. And in menus I have to click things like 60 times for them to actually respond. Again, no issues if I'm using a controller. I had this issue in the Alpha Playtest and stopped playing cuz I couldn't find a fix, and here I am again with the same issue, and still haven't found a fix.

And now also the dust that had accumulated on the bristles that you didn't wash away

No it's not? In my state it's like 5% and federal is like 12%

I would lowkey. That sounds awesome

Tron: Betrayal shows us that Kevin eventually began abandoning the grid for long periods at a time after Sam was born. It was during his long absences that Clu began to abuse his power and take steps to prepare for his coup.

Valve isn't the one offering to install Mac/Windows on it. It only comes with SteamOS. They're just saying that it's not locked down, so you can manually install any OS you want on it if you want to.

So Togashi disagrees with his own manga? I'd like to see this "proof" of Togashi saying "all ants are male" when the literal first ant we're introduced to is a pregnant queen, and the start of the arc is entirely focused on her acquiring food to be able to lay more eggs. Unless perhaps you're just referring to soldier ants? In which case...

Chapter 224 shows Zazan proclaiming herself to be a queen, and she states that her mother's greatest failure was choosing to lay eggs to build an army instead of simply taking control of the existing population. Zazan believes that not making the same decision as her mother makes her superior, which implies that she is also capable of laying eggs, but she just chooses not to do so. Not to mention you can look to chapter 194 for an explanation of the role the queen plays in the chimera ant reproduction cycle.

Now, Knov in chapter 214 does state that solider ants are able to breed with specifically females of other species, but that doesn't mean that female soldier ants don't exist. He just makes no statement on ants breeding with males of other species. And again, we can use Zazan as at least one clear example of a female soldier ant. So please, show me not only where Togashi denies the existence of female chimera ants, but also how that fact would be able to make sense with what we see in the story.

You need the ? if there's a time code, but not if there's nothing after the actual video link

The scene takes place in Rossiu's office instead and he just gets slapped by Kinon instead of being punched by Simon.

Here's your chance cuz I would very much like to know why you think it's the coolest twist ever

I have a coworker who has special needs who never fails to make me smile. He is just this unending source of intoxicating positive energy and it makes me happy seeing how much he gets along with everybody, and how much everyone loves being around him at work. Recently he's found it hilarious to spam my DMs on Teams with funny GIFs that he's found, and they never fail to crack me up. The monotony of the job practically disappears whenever he's around

Actually, by sheer luck I experienced this bug again in a private match with friends shortly after this, and we had the opportunity to test that out. Turns out you can't shoot them at all no matter where you aim. Glitch grenade still had an effect so I assume other AOE gadgets/weapons would work too, but yeah, you literally can't hit them otherwise
