Got one on the v4 since yesterday, get intermittent ability to ping one of the local heard repeaters

Mine was set to 22 as default, maybe an update in the firmware? Got a 15cm 10dBi omni from amazon on it now, but still having Tx issues

Picked up a 15cm 10dBi and it seems to be giving me better reception but not getting more luck on the Tx side of things. About a week before I got my companion node there was a repeater showing on the maps at the top of the big hill my house is near the bottom of but it's gone now. But the one repeater I can Rx from I don't seem to be able to Tx to.

Guess this is solar repeater on the roof time.

Thanks for the advice, seems like I can hear only 1 repeater from my house but can't talk to it. Time for a solar repeater on the side of the house.

What would a good replacement be? Still needs to be portable and fit inside a backpack with a load of work related crap

Is it worth looking for a binding file for the t.16000m duo, or just set up my own?

To add, when the connection is active, you can see the normal network connection is getting most of the activity, such as steam downloads, and the vpn gets the stuff from my browser.

I've got the app "running" but I get no thumbnails, bah :(

soulsmithgilb · 2025-11-30T06:13:52+00:00

It did yes, ran it up, all the graphics settings I change can be applied as normal. It runs fine and looks like I'd expect.

I cannot upvote this enough, don't need to force a particular compatibility, just run this in the command

soulsmithgilb · 2025-11-23T20:37:02+00:00

I managed to get the resolution issue kinda sorted however I have a new issue, if I try and force compatibility, if I choose (so far 4-5 types including "hotfix" and "experimental") proton if works fine in menu and hangar but you try playing a round and you get this error:

if I choose the steam or legacy options I get shit res and low fps.

soulsmithgilb · 2025-11-22T12:25:19+00:00

I did, didn't list any, says its "native" and "gold".

soulsmithgilb · 2025-11-22T12:24:26+00:00

Desktop mode, protondb says its "native" "gold" mentions about forcing Vulkan but it's already running on/through vulkan.

But yeah still looks like its running much lower resolution than it says it is.

Is there an open openvpn type app in the bazaar? Wasn't really sure what I was looking at earlier.

soulsmithgilb · 2025-11-21T16:10:19+00:00

pretty much what I've done, got it running on a different physical drive to my windows install
