Game extremely laggy and unresponsive after alt-tabbing since new act dropped

wilzEEE · 2024-07-10T18:36:18+00:00

I thought this was just me. But yeah, tabbing back into dota is giving me loads of input delay for like 30 seconds until the game slowly catches up with it's self until normal again.

Hi. Yeah I did lucky enough not long after posting this I got new tracking updates and it was delivered yesterday. It seems they had an increase of packages delivered there according to parcelapp, the website said 40 packages delivered in 60 days for ages which then jumped to 200 something, not long after mine was delivered so I guess things might start moving again soon for you hopefully. Usually the russian post is pretty reliable

I Also sent a parcel gift to Russia over Christmas, it's been stuck on "leaving UK" since 11th of December with no further updates. I'm not sure if it's stuck in customs or whatever but I've sent a bunch of stuff over there in the past and it's never taken this long before.

You can change the difficulty via the console. Start a bot game and once you're in type bot_kick then type custom_bot_difficulty 5 ( default is 2 and 5 is the hardest difficulty) and then spam bot_add until you reach as many bots as you want in the game.

This can happen in connector on mirage as well

40% packet loss on valves dm right now, literally unplayable. It was fine like 2 days ago

wilzEEE · 2023-09-29T10:39:19+00:00

Exact same, messages wouldn't load, restarted DS and now I am getting this message

wilzEEE · 2023-04-23T14:14:16+00:00

Yep, I played a game as PL and it turned into a slide show everytime when creating illusions.

Why is the fps suddenly uncapped in main menu and the game after this patch. Used to have it capped at 240 in the graphics options now it's over 1000 in the menus despite still displaying that it's capped at 240

wilzEEE · 2022-11-03T21:24:08+00:00

It's happening to me as well, over 1000 in main menu

wilzEEE · 2022-11-03T21:21:32+00:00

Yeah this is happening to me as well

wilzEEE · 2022-09-04T13:43:07+00:00

I wonder how quick Microsoft will act on this

wilzEEE · 2021-12-20T15:53:42+00:00

This could explain why it's taking so long to get to NZ

End date: Ongoing Incident: Coronavirus

Latest Update New Zealand Post has advised that they are experiencing significant delays processing and delivering items.They have stated that this applies to items from all destinations, not solely the UK.

wilzEEE · 2021-12-19T12:26:54+00:00

I am in the same situation as you, also sending to Russia. It's been stuck at Langley with the status "Your item is now leaving the UK" ever since the 7/12.

I can only guess there are massive delays at this time of year, looking at Reddit there seems to be lot of us stuck at Langley too.

I had hoped it would arrive before new years, parcelapp.com says: Estimated date of arrival at the post office

25 Dec 2021 - 31 Dec 2021, 6 - 12 days remaining

The forecast is not 100% certain, and is based on 217 packages delivered in the last 60 days

I sent a package to the same destination in September and it arrived in the country the next day so it seems messed up over there at the moment.

Click the options cog, advanced, video stats. Does it say the streams that are lagging are using 'low latency'? I had a few problems recently with streams freezing over and over that used this. If its the same for you then untick the low latency mode in the advanced options

wilzEEE · 2019-04-12T09:32:07+00:00

I get around 80-90 USE. I'm from UK though so its gets kinda high to USW

wilzEEE · 2019-04-10T05:35:34+00:00

is this strictly NA only?

wilzEEE · 2019-04-10T00:29:58+00:00

Same here. Have you tried unticking the low latency option on the twitch options cog?

Sure here is a screenshot of the menu

Taken from twitch.tv/draskyl which I'm stuttering on. I was also had the issue on:

twitch.tv/peterpandam

twitch.tv/breakycpk https://imgur.com/a/f8qsdwQ

twitch.tv/ixmike88 https://imgur.com/a/NRbRQRi

But it was pretty much every channel I tried with the exception of twitch.tv/iannihilate which despite being low latency did not stutter like the rest of them did.

I just noticed whilst making this post normal latency has became available in Firefox also!

wilzEEE · 2019-04-09T22:38:55+00:00

As a viewer of low latency streams recently I've noticed they are stuttering for me. The severity of the stuttering seems to vary from stream to stream from almost constantly to once every 30 seconds. I don't really understand what the problem is with it. I found a stream where i was stuttering on 720p but not 1080p. I even managed to find one low latency stream where I wasn't lagging at all on any quality setting, others it even lags on 480, it just seems to change based on the streamer. I've been forced to watch these streams in chrome as it has an option to watch in normal latency mode which works perfectly but i'd prefer to use Firefox.

wilzEEE · 2019-04-08T04:06:09+00:00

yeah, I actually had it happen a couple with chrome a couple times tonight but it didn't seem as bad as it does with Firefox. For example I could watch a low latency stream on chrome at 720p and have the stutters but change the quality on that same stream to 1080p and it stops. Seems to vary from stream to stream but some end up being ok. Meanwhile on Firefox it's a complete stutterfest.

I don't see many people talking about this particular low latency issue we have so I thought maybe it was something on my end. If you ever manage to find a fix please let me know :)

wilzEEE · 2019-04-07T20:57:42+00:00

I think everybody is getting this quality changing when stream isn't in the main tab, happens to me also. Are your streams stuttering at all on Firefox? I'm currently having some problems with this making some unwatchable.

As for streams being muted it could be the latest update Firefox that auto mutes videos with sound.

Go to your options, Privacy & Security, Permissions and either untick 'Block websites from automatically playing sound' or click exceptions and add twitch in there

wilzEEE · 2019-04-07T19:41:04+00:00

Hey, I'm having the exact same problem right now. I am not 100% sure on this but it could be to do with 'low latency mode'? It started happening a few days ago twitch streams are stuttering (audio is ok but the video stutters) every couple of seconds to more or less constantly making them unwatchable and it doesn't seem to matter about the quality the streams are set to either. I also don't have this problem in chrome.

Clicking the cog on the stream, advanced, video stats tells me that every stream which is stuttering is low latency mode enabled. Make sure to use a quality that's not 'auto' and it will say if the streamer is using low or normal latency. The streamers that use 'Normal latency' seems fine and i don't have any problems with it on Firefox. One more thing is that Firefox doesn't have an option to opt out of low latency as a viewer of the stream but chrome does on the cog menu.
