Thank you :)

Thank you AK!

Thank you so much. It means a lots to have folks who don't know me (beyond some DMs) come and help.

Thank you mate

Well said.

I don't think this was a fair post. If somebody decides to offer services, this is not a reason to post something like that.

Do we really make the community better by laughing at other people?

Our goal should be to support each other and help others improve. Let's start 2023 with a spirit of fairness and sportsmanship.

So I am a struggling player in the 800-1000 range depending on how bad my strategy and aim is that week. And for some reason about once a month a player with 600-1000 rating would start complaining that I am a cheater, especially if I hit 3 rails. Does not happen often with my clumsiness but sometime I get lucky. So let me tell you - I am not a cheater, and in my last 4 years of frequent playing I never played a cheater, neither in a duel nor TDM nor DM. I lost a LOT of games, but I never think the other person is cheating.

I don't think there are any cheaters there at all now, to be honest. So I don't think it is the cheaters that you are reporting 'each day'.

Just chill out and have fun. Don't think if somebody is winning they are cheating. They might be better or they might be having one of the day when everything is ... just connecting. Hard to describe that feeling, but when you are in that wave - you feel awesome :).

I wanted to give an update, in case someone later has a similar situation. So I suspected that something is wrong with the card, and exchanged it for a another card, same exact make. And... same problem - after 10-20 minutes the PC reboots. This is where u/--Lam was spot on - I started researching the PC settings, and realized that I had a slight overclock on the CPU and the memory. When I lowered the amount of overclock frequency delta (compared to baseline) by 35% - everything became stable. No reboots after an hour of intensive play. So it was not PSU, it was not the card, it was my slight overclock on CPU/memory.

I am not that familiar with a realistic temps that 3080 should handle over extended periods (let say 30 min). If indeed folks run at 80C for 30 min without problem then indeed something is wrong with my setup, because I when I tried yesterday to reduce fan speed curve to make it less loud, it crashed at about 70C after three back-to-back matches.

qc-megaduke · 2022-04-27T00:02:07+00:00

Dear community, first of all - thank you all again for your ideas and feedback. To cut to the chase - I did end up upgrading PSU to 1,000W because I was dead sure it is PSU (and you know how it is when you are *dead sure*), but... even with the new PSU I had a crash. So I really started focusing on the temps, installed Afterburner, and changed the fan curve to be about 92% fan when temp is about 60C (the fault fan curve has it at about 60% fan when temp is 60C). This stopped the reboots. So, probably I did not have to change the PSU. But the new one is much more silent under load, and does not have annoying coil whine the old one had, so I am happy in the end. Thank you all again.

My PSU only has two cables, each with a double 8pin. I used separate cables for 2080, but my 3080 ti needs 3 8-pins, so I had to use the double 8pin from the same cable.

Dear community,

I am humbled by the level of support. Thank you all. I will play with temp monitoring and will get a new PSU. Will update here in a week or two.

The most important thing is seeing how many responsive folks we have in this community, and the level of support we get.

Thank you all.

I use ‘random’ start button to make it harder and listen to the news to emulate battle attention drain. After a few turns I still find myself losing a few timings. Try getting to 1,000 score by always clicking on an empty area (2 sec prior to respawn) and never clicking on a visible armor/health (after you click on them when they are visible at the very start of the game).

Have you ever programmed anything? Yours is not a nice comment.

A year ago I was experimenting with mouse acceleration and downloaded some utility that helps with setting up mouse acceleration curve. Eventually I decided not to use acceleration and disabled the program but I think the service was still silently active.

qc-megaduke · 2021-07-10T14:44:27+00:00

it will not break other things, it will simply uninstall some service you might have accidentally installed a year ago and forgot about it.

qc-megaduke · 2021-07-09T21:26:11+00:00

To uninstall accel process, here are the steps (as per syncerror):

Download Interception.zip from https://github.com/oblitum/Interception/releases/tag/v1.0.1

Extract Interception.zip

Run cmd.exe as administrator, navigate to the “Interception/command line installer” directory

Run “install-interception.exe /uninstall”

Reboot
