I suspect a big part of the process has shifted focus from making an enjoyable experience to how we can milk this for every dollar it’s worth and then some.

It’s risky trying to explore new avenues as a large company you’re expected to deliver unimaginable returns on your investment. So copying the games that did well will hopefully perform better that quarter. As opposed to spending resources on expanding the engine or trying out a novel idea.

On top of that I suspect the executives are envious of the addictive cash burning cycle that gacha games provide.

I feel like too many games have and continue to copy the formula established by Minecraft and Far Cry 3. I find the experience of exploring a new zone, climbing a tower, unlocking material xyz then rinse and repeat. To be boring and unimaginative. But it seems like I’m the weird one here and people seemingly adore it.

I thought the inventory management of BoTW was awful. It’s not fun to complete a cool quest line get a cool item and for it to break forever after two fights. Wtf

Crafting games such as Valheim have nothing to do aside from grinding for the sake of grinding. Sure building a cool house had some appeal but it’s overall just intentionally tedious.

Baldur’s Gate III was a breath of fresh air. I actually have been thinking for a while that maybe I just didn’t like games anymore until it came out.

I’m also about to start my first Elden Ring run with a group of friends for the first time soon. Excited for that.

The Dark Pictures Anthology has some fantastic stories if anyone is interested.

Now that patch 7 has landed has your experience improved?

I forgot you could use SSH port redirection. By having them connect to your ssh server. Just understand that you need to configure it in a safe way to avoid someone using the credentials incorrectly.

See the section called “Exposing service running in localhost of a server behind NAT to the internet”

https://goteleport.com/blog/ssh-tunneling-explained/

Any luck?

Ah yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a double NAT going on and needs to put the ISP provided modem into bridge mode.

Perhaps change who’s hosting it? Since you’re in IT you probably have a computer capable of it?

Alternatively you could host a wire guard endpoint have them connect to you that way. But configuring that is a pain on Windows.

The problem is most likely on the host’s end. They need to configure port forwarding for the game.

If you’re connecting over the internet confirm you’re connecting to their WAN IP address.

There is a rare edge case that comes to mind. In server.properties look for use-native-transport and try setting it to false on the host.

Alternatively I would suggest checking if you and the host support ipv6 and use that. It’ll help avoid the problems you’re experiencing with NAT.

Not when the main character is the loli. If you believe Saga of Tanya the Evil meets the standard set by the question you don’t understand the question.

In no particular order these come to mind. Most of these are outside what I typically watch, but I did enjoy them.

I think a lot of the other answers here are being too generous with your rules and not giving you characters that both look older and are older.

But I do have the option to create a separate non-mesh network from the AP

Channel 165 tends to be empty if you do try that.

If your core problem is bg3 itself crashing then I’ve gone on a silly tangent here.

You might find act 3 is more stable in dx11 mode assuming proton is up for the challenge.

Another thought of mine is that wireless devices can perform poorly if they are too close to the AP. (Like less than a meter)

I don’t get the option for channel 106

Assuming you’re not in a country that blocks the use of those channels. There is a bunch of corner cutting gear out there that won’t let you use a big chunk of the 5ghz spectrum.

If you’re shopping for new stuff look for gear that supports DFS channels in the future.

…and two AmpliFi mesh access points to provide the wifi.

Mesh networks can perform poorly for applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter. (Such as steam’s remote play)

a whole bunch of hidden networks come with it. I think this must be related to the mesh network, it’s a lot of networks though! 8 or 9 of them

It’s possible that some of those are related. My assumption is that there’s interference from your own devices and the neighbours. But a mesh network isn’t an ideal environment.

In the app, what does the width of the bar represent? It says something like Wifi_Network 157 (155) and has a big flat top that seems to cover a range.

This is indicative of the channel width. It’s a common occurrence to have a network use overlapping channels to increase performance.

The take away is that not all channels are isolated from one another and it’s possible for a network to have many of them bonded together.

With Wifi_Network 157 (155). It’s indicating that the network’s real channel 155 with a 80mhz channel width. But it’s configured to channel 157 for its beacon as not all devices will connect in 80mhz mode. 157 represents the 20mhz channel it’s configured to camp on.

Is that indicating that nearby channels can interfere with each other?

Yes.

So there’s a few issues at play.

That automatic channel changing feature is more harmful than helpful in this context.

If you’re able to lock it onto an entirely empty channel it’ll help. Try for channel 106

Do you see any overlap on yours in the graph view?

The lights were such a big deal. Took some serious compute for the era.

If I recall correctly the framework laptops have a bunch of USBC ports?

If so you could just get a USBC dongle for it.

In the meantime we can evaluate the quality of your WiFi. If you have an android phone, I find this app works fairly well for visualizing the network.

Additionally, If you have a dual band router I would suggest disabling the 2.4Ghz band unless you have any legacy devices that use it.

Check that your network isn’t overlapping with any other networks.

Are you able to connect everything involved via ethernet?

Wi-Fi can be unreliable for many reasons so being near it isn’t going to change the thought much.

A quick google suggests to me that it’s Vulkan if you are running it that way but I can’t confirm.

What may be happening is that when the connection is unstable it may not be well designed enough to handle the dropped connection gracefully to let you reconnect.

I noticed a pretty extreme difference in performance in openssh when using x11 forwarding when I touch the cipher suite.

AES128-ctr vs AES128-gcm on kubuntu 22.04.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light into that. I’m mostly curious if it’s not using hardware acceleration when I switch it to GCM.

Are you trying to do this over ethernet or WiFi?

If you’re trying to use wifi that connection needs to be stellar for this to work well. No over-lapping channels with the neighbours and not too many clients.

If you’re experiencing this on a wired connection, look into if your gear supports jumbo frames and confirm it’s a gigabit link.

Try using Vulkan mode for BG3.

hahaha, I haven’t seen much of the current season. I tend to wait until a Blu-Ray version exists unless my buddies wanna watch it.

However, that being said @Weebdeluxe@ani.social have you seen my other post?

https://ani.social/post/5179552 “Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian Feet and Thighs”

If someone went to this effort, I bet you its this one. haha

We need a anime all for her.

If I understood the premise correctly, wasn’t it the first full dive MMO? That would make any game popular.
