Just fix the game stuttering

Sonic_Vs_Mario3128d ago

What stuttering? NVidia has released a patch to fix the issues

Asuka3128d ago (Edited 3128d ago )

It isnt a Nvidia thing. The creators update has caused some people to experience ingame stuttering regardless what driver you are using. Its a windows update issue. A fix is coming with the fall update... hopefully haha

This problem also effects AMD systems. And Microsoft admitted there was a problem.

Gwiz3128d ago

Yeah I can't use afterburner with rivatuner anymore,and that happened after they added the creators update which is useless to me to begin with.DOUBLE WHAMMY

Windows 10 and anti-cheat tools. How wonderfully ironic. What I adore about win10 is how updates reset all your privacy setting! Not that they actually do anything to begin with. They just give the illusion of privacy. The emperors new clothes of privacy, if you like. As for Cortana.. What? wait... No, no, nothing Cortana!... Got to go now, she's listening.

Razzer3128d ago

I don’t see an issue. These tools are available for Win10 games only. And more than likely it is up to the developer to implement them. Anti-cheating tools are nothing new. Steam has them as well.

Ashlen3128d ago

As I understand it steam guard only scans the data/memory from the program that you are using. This actually scans what programs you are running and sends that information to Microsoft. So you could be running a blacklisted program totally separately from the game and get flagged.

maybelovehate3128d ago

Any filtering system will do both. It will check an existing list of applications and if it finds an unknown application it will most likely send the signature to the vender to check it unless the app has a feature to turn that off.

"So you could be running a blacklisted program totally separately from the game and get flagged."

Why would you be doing that?

Ashlen3128d ago (Edited 3128d ago )

@maybelovehate

That's not true, they only should need to at most scan the memory of the game you are playing, sending what programs you have open is crossing the line, and Microsoft is more than likely using this more for data mining to see what programs people are using than actual cheating prevention.

@Lon3wolf

Many macro programs might get blacklisted but there are plenty of legitimate uses for them.

I once had to fill out forms in which I had a few answers that I repeatedly used so I set macros on to my function keys on my keyboard to type the response with one key press instead of having to type the full responses over and over.

Just one example.

rainslacker3127d ago

And it's MS responsibility to flag a user? Isn't that beyond their purview as a provider of an open OS?

Who is MS to decide what is proper and not, and what programs a person is allowed to run on their system? That TOS that everyone agrees to and doesn't read of course, but if MS decided to say, "nope, can't do that" for any program I run on the system, then screw that.

I write tons of programs, and I can say that several show up as viruses to my virus scanner because of how they handle memory or interacting with the system. They aren't viruses, just some things I write. Who's to say that one of those programs doesn't flag a false positive for their cheat tech...or the fact that I write game programming tools and often have things running on my computer which would potentially show up as somehow affecting a game, and I may be running them in the back ground.

Sure, it may be a minimal case in the grand scheme of things, but these cheat programs just being on a blacklist is nowhere near effective enough, because these cheat programs get updated much quicker than they get recognized by these types of programs which scan for them, and ultimately, because worthless.

I 100% understand the need for many games to control cheaters, at least in MP games, but sending along information to MS is not the answer, nor would I want MS to have dominion on restricting content should I happen to be one of those people.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg16d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k416d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS16d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
