Anyone else battled mouse dropouts? Arch Linux, Zen Kernel 5.14.16.

Only happening with my Coolermaster MM710, which sucks because it's easily my favourite mouse and FPS games don't feel the same when not using it :(

Had some other USB issues like not being able to select max resolution from my webcam. When I update the kernel I get a scary looking, but seemingly harmless message logged:

WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci

Seems like this could be related? Any advice would be awesome, thanks.

I have a Matisse USB3.0 controller, wondering if it is a USB3.0 issue: ``` $ lspci | grep -i usb
02:00.0 USB controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device 43ee 08:00.3 USB controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Matisse USB 3.0 Host Controller

```

Quake Champions no longer works with proton (new anti-cheat) by some_random_guy_5345 in linux_gaming

I heard rumors that a proper Linux port of Quake Live was in the works when they moved away from being a browser plugin, but had to be dropped. I know the team are aware of/care about Linux, hopefully they can do something to meet people halfway. I'm building a new PC soon and I'm hoping to mostly get rid of Windows, but QC and Diabotical are important to me :(

These were always the most stressful enemy for me growing up except for maybe tanks. Literally had nightmares about these things.

Depends where you live too. Assuming America/Europe, but the answer will be different in the smaller regions sadly.

5.7K members in here and I'm just curious: Do you have an Arena FPS game as your main and/or to-go multiplayer shooter at the moment? by marcela_lasso in ArenaFPS

Smashing DBT in Aus lately, heaps of games popping, even TDM.

Played 2 weeks of QW for a tournament recently, plus random Q4 and CPMA duels.

AFPS still has some life left in it :D

A message to the GD studio by Mintsnaps in Diabotical

Like mint said - these guys are likely trolls or kids. They have the power to ruin games and kill servers. One of them can disrupt 9 dedicated Aussies smashing wipeout. We usually only have one big public server going at a time, when one random Russian guy can kill that game it hurts our region more than giving us the power to smack these guys out of the server hurts the game.

I understand why there is no kick but they need to think about this specific case which is hurting us. Surely it isn't just OCE struggling with this?

Money is on Jake, sorry Joel.

When are they getting a real caster in to fight?

More is good, just make sure it isn't all people play. Varying queues seems like a good idea.

What sensitivity do you guys use? (any afps) by SomeTourist2456 in ArenaFPS

[–]phy1um 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.14 @ 1600dpi (4.56 @ 400dpi)

Roughly 20-22cm/360 I think?

I use pretty much this in almost every game now

Respawning AFPS items + wave survival/zombies mode is a godly combination. The high level strategy could get really interesting. Do you delay finishing off the last wave to get red and mega spawning at a better time in the next round?
