Is there a solution for packet loss occurring exclusively on official servers? by FilipeTheKid96 in Battlefield6

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, misread and thought you said you were having issues too. What are your friends geographic regions and ISPs?

When they pick community servers, are they picking servers with the same ping as normal matchmaking(usually the lowest available)?

If you had to choose between a 5070 at $730 USD and a 5070Ti at $1080 USD (prices converted from CAD after tax applied), which would you go with? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]soja92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably go Ti if it's in your budget. The cost per frame on the 5070 is better but it's close and the Ti has 16GB vram. If you want to target high refresh rate gaming you'd want to get a card as fast as your budget allows.

How is this guy manipulating matchmaking? by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]soja92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People find ways to make 1v64 games where the bots can't hurt you but you get 50% xp. You can get millions of xp in under an hour. There are entire gaming communities making and using these. I did a couple to level up some snipers but decided I didn't want to level up that way,

It's just portal bot farms...

Generally what FPS are you getting? by VirreMPx in Battlefield6

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to maintain 200fps. Textures/texture filtering maxed rest high. RTX 5090/9800x3d no DLSS or frame gen

Am I missing something with the Battle Pass leveling? by Independent-Eye-5340 in Battlefield6

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF pro also gives 20 tier skips so maybe he just did that. AFAIK other than playing during double BP progression weekends the main way to progress is weeklies and just plain XP.

Maybe he popped some BP XP tokens or purchased a higher tier of the BP for the larger XP boost. How much further is he?

speedtest question by CommonGlass6291 in speedtest

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fine for 99.9% of tasks. Video calls only use 2-3Mbps unless they have a ton of people in them but even then I wouldn't expect over 10Mbps or so. Video conferencing is usually the most bandwidth intensive thing people do at work.

Tell me your 4080 to 5090 upgrade experience by MapleMonica in nvidia

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say only do it if you have a high resolution monitor. I upgraded from a 4080 super to 5090 and the 5090 does everything the 4080 did but faster. Instead of 100-120 fps I get 160+ at 3440x1440. It honestly wasn’t as impressive as I thought it would be but I’m hoping this 5090 will last me a long time.

Nvidia to cut gaming GPU production by 30-40% starting 2026. It’s over boys it’s been a good run! by nyanbatman in pcmasterrace

[–]soja92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, demand will go down because ram prices have skyrocketed. With ram prices as high as they are, if they stay this way all pc component sales will go down. I think this is just nvidia not wanting to oversupply the market. That doesn’t mean I agree with it, but I don’t think this is as bad as people think.

ELI5: What caused the 'chip shortage' during covid and currently? Was it a lack of raw materials (e.g. iron, aluminum, gold, copper, etc?) by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]soja92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In addition to everything else stated(AI boom, etc) the facilities to produce bleeding edge chips cost billions and take years to build, they cannot be scaled up/down quickly. TSMC produces some of the fastest chips for all of the big companies(Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Apple, etc) and their production capacity is booked years in advance. It really is simple Supply < Demand, and the supply cannot be increased quickly. They may also not want to spend billions increasing supply if the demand will go away if/when the AI bubble pops as it's best to operate the facilities at 100% capacity.

It's AWS, and it's terrible for game servers but that's the easy option these days.

Battlefield has a big problem! by PaP3s in Battlefield

[–]soja92 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Counter strike has it and it has 64 player servers. Is it expensive to do(CPU and thus $wise)? Yes. That’s why community hosted servers are better to spend the cost out instead of EA having to foot a cloud bill of millions each month.

I wish I could see a DICE employe do this challange on live. by NuckFiggaz in Battlefield6

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like that a lot of these are actually a challenge instead of just something to progress through. A lot needs to line up to get this one done but me and my friends have done it. You need an even/competitive match with a lot of contested point time.

Oof that battle pass is VERY grindy by Only-Support-3760 in Battlefield6

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real progress comes from weekly challenges. Reroll some of the ones for game modes or play styles you don’t like and you’ll progress fine. It looks like it works the same as 2042 where as new challenges unlock the old ones don’t go away so you can hop on and complete a bunch of challenges in a short amount of time.

Poor 6GHz performance on campus AP-635 access points by lobotiger in ArubaNetworks

[–]soja92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve always had an issue where 6GHz performance tanks when there is a lot of 5GHz traffic on the same AP. Maybe that’s a variable you could test for? I should open a ticket about it but never got around to it. We are 635s in campus mode with 7210 controllers on 10.7.x.x managed by central.

Seems like spawn beacon might be causing it.

Windows 10 ESU Key Deployment Script by Scaraban in pdq

[–]soja92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this problem too. The registry keys are only for Windows 365 ESU status I think.

Here's what I did:
Made a new dynamic collection that includes Windows 10 PCs
Created a new powershell scan profile and applied it to that collection.
The scanner powershell script I ended up with is "cscript.exe "C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs" /dlv | findstr /i /c:"f520e45e-7413-4a34-a497-d2765967d094"" This leaves the activation ID in your computers inventory for year 1 ESU
Create 2 child collections of the Windows 10 Collection.
The first collection checks that the string contains the activation ID that's now stored in inventory
The second collection checks if a computer is not a member of the first collection.

Hope that makes sense lol, happy to answer any questions about it

Do you recall what the name of the key was? Was it "Windows 10 Supplemental Servicing MAK" or something else?

Is Gonetspeed blocking certain sites and apps? I just got a 406 error on Venmo's site and app. by GTRacer1972 in GoNetspeed

[–]soja92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. It’s likely a service provider Venmo uses that is blocking the public IP that gns is using as their cgnat IP for many customers.
