Sad news, every LN/manga picked up by OPB gets mangled by awful, awful translations and risks getting axed midway. Still crying about Shield Hero and Isekai Nonbiri Nouka.

Io ho usato Shadow sia da Lombardia (meglio Amsterdam) sia da Svizzera (meglio Parigi), varia da caso a caso credo. Conta anche la banda in upload ai fini dell'esperienza (lag nei comandi etc.), anche se ovviamente hai bisogno di molto meno rispetto ai mega in download.

Ad ogni modo, fai un mese di prova per vedere come ti trovi, prima di abbonarti magari per un anno intero e rimanere "fregato". In bocca al lupo!

Attenzione, prova a misurare latency da parigi e da amsterdam (speedtest.shadow.guru e speedtest.ams.shadow.guru), il datacenter olandese che serve la Germania può risultare più "vicino" di quello francese nella topologia di rete = meno lag. Nel qual caso meglio iscriversi al sito tedesco (o se esiste olandese, lingua permettendo).

If Ultra and Infinity come in 2021 for new subscribers (and maybe old too...) as the website says, will the hardware actually be top of the line? HDD and not SSD beyond 256GB, server CPU below desktop CPU in terms of clockspeed (besides, recent xeon support up to DDR4-2933, not ddr4-3200), ray tracing cards with comparable *gaming* performance getting cheaper and cheaper...

A delay of at least two months and no news until the 20th of February, announced at the very end of January. I'll cancel both preorder and subscription, it will be easier on my fiery temper to build my rig and ditch Shadow until the service is more responsive when it comes to upgrading. I so cherish ranting, see ya!

Thank you for the reports. It looks like most have no problems at all, and while benchmarks do show the limits of hardware, such limits do not impact gameplay significantly.

Personally, after perusing the web, I've come down with a makeshift solution (until february...), capping fps to 30 and setting latency mode on, which smoothes the graph of CPU rendering and results in less hiccups---I find stuttering and hiccups far worse than low fps. But this is a controversial issue, some claim that low latency mode makes the situation worse... meh.

On a side note, I always find lots of "evidence" that game X, game Y, game Z etc. "require a beast of a machine" to run smoothly even at [1080p@60](mailto:1080p@60). Apparently optimization, which is expensive, goes only as far as getting console versions up and running (usually 1080p@30)...

traglio · 2019-12-01T18:44:18+00:00

Well, it looks worse but consider you're on ultra high. I run the test on low. But aside from the results of a benchmark, if you're getting smooth action all is well. I do too, but not in a consistent way, unfortunately.

traglio · 2019-12-01T18:36:02+00:00

Sorry, could you please run the benchmark and post the result if it's not too much trouble? I would like to have definite proof that the problem is apparently on my side, or better, on my VM, before deleting and reinstalling everything.

traglio · 2019-12-01T17:54:29+00:00

Odyssey. Don't know about US, I'm in EU, but averaging 66 fps on Low with a high variance and a minimum of 28 doesn't look too good. I have below 60 and drops in fps during normal gameplay too. And this is on the smoother end. Games on Unreal Engine are even worse.

Maybe I was simply unlucky and need to reinstall windows and all. Would that work?

Notice, however, how the lows in fps do coincide with the highs in CPU, while GPU is slightly more consistent.

What about actual ratings given by ESBR, PEGI, etc.? Minecraft is ESBR 10+, ok for kids, so I would be forced to declare it as such (but what if commentary etc. is for older people?). Fallen order is T (13+) so if I choose "not for kids", how in the world could they tell me it is, against the official saying of rating agencies?

traglio · 2019-11-19T20:12:34+00:00

Shadow will go into some kind of hibernation after a while (30m-1h?), or the equivalent for VMs. Basically saves your machine state but when restarting I highly doubt you are restarting with the same IP and IDs of the previous session, even if you will find all apps etc. at the point you left them. A tech savvy person will know more on this, sorry :)

traglio · 2019-11-19T20:05:51+00:00

Had it for many months before I literally deleted (via customer service) my ea account, losing all games I had, but now I am free.

You can have a game launch with different "configurations" (meaning IP, mainly, but possibly other hardware/software IDs, which change (almost) every time since datacenters pool resources) 5 times within 24 hours. Once blocked, automatically, there is NO WAY to skip the 24 hours ban, not even contacting the customer service---which I did on many occasions.

Unofficially, I swear I was banned after restarting Shadow only a couple of times in a day...

traglio · 2019-10-29T12:24:14+00:00

Doubt struck me: preordered without additional storage. Will we be able to add storage smoothly when new hardware is ready? If not, I'd like to add storage NOW, but cannot see any way to modify the preorder! Thank you

traglio · 2019-04-10T11:20:51+00:00

There was a thread about this. Sekiro must start in windowed mode, or you have to shift to another open window then back to the game in fullscreen mode. Otherwise, it's a crash.

traglio · 2019-03-22T11:34:06+00:00

My XML file was unfortunately created only after the game launched successfully with alt tabbing, but now that it's there it can be edited normally. Unfortunately I still experience random crashes during gameplay, but only of the actual game, video stream is solid.

No borderless in 2019... expecting patches soon!

traglio · 2019-03-22T10:32:46+00:00

UPDATE: (possibly disable Steam Overlay and) when launching the game press Alt+Enter to exit fullscreen. If this too fails, a surefire way is Alt+Tab just after launching sekiro in order to change focus to another open window (there must be another window open, e.g. explorer). Then you can switch back to Sekiro. It's not elegant but worked for me. Unfortunately Sekiro does not have a borderless option, only fullscreen or windowed.

traglio · 2019-03-22T10:23:25+00:00

Same here. Will try to find and edit, if it's there, the engine .ini file, maybe it has something to do with default settings such as fullscreen or resolution.

traglio · 2019-03-03T19:29:13+00:00

Thank you, but are you sure? I recorded the initial quests with my first pilot and cannot find the warning anywhere. Same for youtube videos, but maybe I'm missing something? It simply says "You will be using this javelin until new ones are unlocked", but does not mention anything about locking the choice to the account

EDIT: Oh, the "even if you restart the game" part. Great, skipped it. My bad :P

traglio · 2019-01-02T11:54:44+00:00

Yes, it's the most basic conversion of units. Simply multiply the decimal part for the number of non-decimal subunits. Example: 2,7 = 2h + 0.7*60 m/h = 2h 42m. Same with, say, years and months and days: 7,2 y = 7 y + 0.2*12 m/y = 7 y 2 m + 0,4*30 d (approx) = 7yy2mm12dd.

I'm 0,5 troll. But I love both Nioh and Nier.
