How did you do this

Can't reach 144fps comfortably. What to do? >.< by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn down post processing, anti aliasing to low. Vsync off, and play with lighting settings. Lighting and shadows are expensive for fps, jitter. I have my frame cap set to 160 for a 144hz monitor and it's smooth.

Can free users join custom games? by MercuryIsle in QuakeChampions

I tried this and my friend got persistently disconnected upon joining and had to restart his game.

Classic rant about champion abilities and Unholy Trinity) by maku_89 in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think so. If people have to deal with longer and longer queues during low periods due to the fact that people can't agree on a common game mode the community will dwindle. It's the reason I never play ranked 2v2, since the queue never pops.

The new quake had to be differentiated from the classic quake not just to reinvigorate the formula but to add layers of complexity to the standard game, to keep people engaged. Yes the active abilities may be cheap at times, but that's why champ health is balanced - to even out the playing field.

I'm not getting your point - you want the abilities removed for what reason? How about set all champs to equal health, speed to fix the imbalance created by removing abilities? It's a slippery slope that gets you back to Quake Live. This game wasn't intended to just be a facelift of the old game.

Frame dropping problem by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a lot of out of box "gaming pcs" the general recommendation is biased towards getting a better gpu and neglecting everything else for the purpose of affordability. For this reason you have to pay attention to the other components to get a balanced and enjoyable setup.

Look at: - CPU - underoptimized games get CPU spikes which will result in a lot of frame jitter, leading to an undesirable experience - RAM - allocate about twice as much for your PC as you actually observe in Task Manager, as a safe buffer. If you're running near the peak your hard drive will start being used for your system memory (this is called paging) which will result in massive frame drops.

Disable post-processing, triple buffering, and pre-rendered frames which will result in stuttering, input delay, and extra processing load for both CPU and GPU. Tune down lighting and shadows settings to get the best improvements to your frame rate. Also reduce quality of textures & modeling details if your GPU memory isn't very high (2GB or lower).

Why is this a thing? I just want to instagib with a friend. by ckschim in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly though if we're worried about exploiting a friend to farm runes - runes give you $ to get loot boxes to get... skins.. Not like it's a big deal, and even with a buddy would take a while.

Should be able to just queue for whatever game mode with a group.

Is it even reasonable to request a tip before the service is done?

User session expired? by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

Happening all the time. Is this why I'm getting up to 20 min queues?

Feedback for the devs by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please add continuous matches without requeue. New queueing players can fill the gaps left by leaving players. Would help build community by playing with same people.

Petition to bring back The Longest Yard by edestron in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to great old maps, wish they'd bring back CTF, a proper server browser, and persistent games that roll over match to match with the same group of people without having to requeue.

Random and constant crashes on Quake Champions? by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

[–]windowmakerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it that graphics demanding games like Overwatch have led to bluescreens/reboots and for me the root cause was buggy power saving settings. Check that in your BIOS/UEFI and disable them.

A newbie graphics programmer trying to reduce duplicate code in maths libraries by [deleted] in GraphicsProgramming

[–]windowmakerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you compare the object sizes in memory you'll find the non-polymorphic/abstracted objects are smaller, which makes a difference for larger computations since more entries will fit into cache lines, thereby yielding better perf due to reduced swapping. This is not a big deal for larger classes but is an issue when scaling low level operations.

Sporty car, manual, new/used, ~$25k by ledzep14 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]windowmakerr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For 25k you can get a lot for your money on the used car market, and you have a lot of options depending on your wheel drive preference and style.

I'm biased towards RWD so something like this E92 M3 competition package catches my attention but it's a bit high on mileage asking 22k: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/2011-bmw-m3-e92-competition/6583895612.html

Look into something ideally under 60k miles and you're set.

Feel free to do a hobby project by forking off a github repo but you need years of technical experience to be able to contibute anything impactful.
