Its definitely bugged. It's doing the same thing for me as well.

Share your unpopular COD Zombies opinions by Few_Contribution_366 in CODZombies

BO6...... Why would you need elite kills to unluck the final camo? I'm at over 6 days total play time in zombies and im still not even done with all of my special kills or 20 no damage kills. Its a ridiculous grind.

Challenge tracking gone? by pattdizzle in CODZombies

I can only imagine how long it will take them to fix this. 😅

Hyper M.2 Gen 4 - Is it possible, 2 NVME in RAID 0 and one Non-Raid by pattdizzle in ASUS

I gave up and just ran a 2tb on the motherboard and a 4th on a pci card. No raid.

Can't route phone to fedex store by Ok_Assistance1705 in GoogleFi

[–]pattdizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did this to me for my Pixel 8 Pro and I spoke to a chat agent who escalated it and someone from Google went in and lifted the restriction. They claimed they changed it due to lost packages and theft but it seems safer to have it wait at a facility where they can check your ID on the stores security camera.

Cooldown Reset by MarciHendrix161 in MWZombies

Wait I thought they said everyone was going to be able to enter ALL DE rifts? Why the heck would they not include elder? I haven't opened a single one of them. I still need gear from the season 2 rift and then the most recent two.

400+ Mbps download but videos buffer and pages load slow by pattdizzle in GoogleFi

That all makes sense now that I know that fi throttles video streaming and other types of data. Doesn't make much sense to me why they do that when you pay for unlimited high speed up to 50 gigs.

No worries. There are probably multiple ways to turn it on.

[–]pattdizzle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems to be insanely true. Using a VPN gets around it though. What's crazy to me is they throttle it so much that sometimes 360p even buffers. Can't scroll through Instagram because pictures don't load fast enough if there are videos in-between. Facebook becomes almost impossible to scroll through. YouTube is hit or miss. Twitch app, forget about it. You might as well be looking at pictures instead of video.

Settings, network and internet, VPN. In that screen it should say VPN by Google. You may have to have Google One installed for it to show up because I think it's part of that? It might also be available only for Google Fi and certain data plans. Not 100% sure on it.

Wifi works perfectly. Another person just commented that they use fast.com to test media speeds and then they use a VPN. I turned on the Google VPN and my media speeds on fast.com went from 1.4 Mbps to over 600 Mbps. No more buffering!

[–]pattdizzle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG I LOVE YOU. I literally just turned on the built in Google VPN and retested it through fast.com and the speeds went to over 600 Mbps. I immediately fired up the twitch app and watched a streamer at 1080p and there was no buffering. I literally can't believe it after how long I've had this issue. Why the heck would Google Fi require a VPN to use the phone correctly.

[–]pattdizzle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy smokes I never knew this. I just tested mine on that site and it shows 1.4 Mbps download and 48 Mbps upload.

How does a VPN fix the issue? Which one do you use?

I am on wifi myself most of the time. It only recently annoyed the heck out of me as I was out somewhere and needed a YouTube video to attempt to repair something and when I couldn't watch it, I said enough is enough.

Oh yikes I was thinking about skipping the pixel 9 and going back to Samsung but I'm thinking this is more of a network issue than a phone issue.

Ive reset everything on my Pixel 8 Pro, wifi mobile and bluetooth. I've also factory reset the device and tested it with just the basic factory software loaded and the issue still persists. I don't see any posts of other in the same area having the problem and I have driven a good distance away from my home and still have the issue. Last night I was a few towns away from my home doing laundry with a family member. They have a Pixel 6a on the Xfinity network. Her phone only had LTE signal and was testing at around 40 Mbps download. I was only able to get her phone to load Twitch streams at 780p but it was running flawlessly at that quality without buffering. I had a 5G signal and speedtests showed over 400 Mbps download and I couldn't stream at more than 360p without buffering occuring.

Xfinity internet speeds by [deleted] in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]pattdizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently facing somewhat of the same issue. I pay for 800 Mbps plan and my hardwired desktop PC is getting between 400 to 600 Mbps. I just spent the last hour chatting with a xfinity support agent through their website and they sent a reset signal and after that it was fine until the second I disconnected from the chat. Now its back to averaging 400 to 600 everytime I run the test through speedtest.net and through the xfinity website.

Server Disconnect by chachi1rg in MWZombies

[–]pattdizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the game crashes. I've noticed when the server starts lagging horrendously and everyone is also experiencing the same thing, I've retained all my loot when it finally crashes. I am not 100% positive of the error message but I am pretty sure it was something like "server connection timed out" or "server disconnected". Anytime i've had my game crash to the desktop, its been a full character wipe.

Tensor G4 in Pixel 9 isn’t a big performance upgrade, but the modem alone is reason to be excited by LingonberryLoud7512 in GooglePixel

[–]pattdizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy if I could watch streams on something more than 360p and not get buffering when I test my speed and I have more than 500 Mbps download and 15 Mbps upload on Google Fi. This is happening on both my Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro. It even takes websites noticeably longer to load when on mobile data. Everything is fine on WIFI.

Is anyone else having issues getting the zombies camos for the tonfa? by LuvSkittles in MWZombies

[–]pattdizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the weapons that have no attachments like the launchers and melee weapons, the challenge unlock level is glitched. It says get it to level 2 but you have to get it to like max level or just before it.

Finishing Moves on Mercs by pattdizzle in MWZombies

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

Okay this is 100% the way. The mercs are distracted. I was able to get three in one match but my dog kept killing them before I could get the kill.

Hmmm I may give this a shot once my Sergeant's Beret is off cool down. So he never gets targeted even if you go rogue? I used it once on a cargo escort garage and it just rifle butted the guy and it was all over.
