@golden crane Wait I have it on google drive let me find the link
website is still down tho
and client needs to reach website for updates, so even if we re-install it won't update nor can we connect
@gleaming rock it won't update tho
@agile hearth It does update when installing
@gleaming rock installer won't even start for me
Then not sure about that
yeah website being down it won't work at all
I mean sure, installer opens and I click start but then poof, it's gone lol
Something is up with their website
yep
website down, tencent buddy won't work
well not down cause it still works but it has issues
seems to be fine here
website is down thou
having said that though I have a shortcut to androidemulator.exe on my desktop and start the game from there, not the launcher. I don't use the launcher for anything except updating the emulator and at all other times don't have it running
I uninstalled and can't re-install it so I'm stuck with bluestacks till that's fixed
memu is better I think
The website is working if you refresh it several times
yeah the website works but the client won't connect to it to install
As @neat sedge said use the shortcut "AndroidEmulator.exe" located in the UI folder inside TxGameAssistant
yeah, go to your TCGB install folder and then the UI folder - right click on AndroidEmulator.exe and choose "send to" and then "desktop (create shortcut)"
yeah I'm forcing an install right now
does bluestacks match up with pc players? or mobile ones
I prefer Memu never tried bluestacks
the emulator detection doesn't always work but mostly does in Memu. I have one PC where it doesn't get detected but it does on all the others.
kinda feels a bit easy on bluestacks, that's why
managed to force install it anyway
@north fable its weird sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
Does any one have unusual lag just after updating the game?
isn't there a key for melee weapon? can't seem to put one for melee weapon either
Not yet
We need one for brakes as well
yeah
I kinda have rough lag when i tried few features like dynamic weather of sanhok and hardcore mode... And about the HC mode... I wish they put it inside the classic games instead of arcade...
@agile hearth there aren't any devices that support ultra HD at this point in time. Its not clear when (or if) ultra HD mode might become unlocked.
ultra ?
"ultra"
I'm always on extreme
my phone doesn't support extreme in anything except smooth
on TCGB emulator I run 2k resolution, HDR, extreme
I can't HDR
but in Memu emulator it thinks I'm on a Galaxy S9 so only offers HDR + Ultra as the max
lol.
HDR does look a bit different to HD, the lighting is better and you get sun rays
Smooth on the other hand looks like PS2 graphics
yeah, smooth's pretty garb can't really play on it it's pretty annoying
its a sacrifice you need to make if you want to unlock extreme framerates on many devices though
it has a built-in CPU/GPU performance detection which tells it which features to unlock
@gadhvi
@agile hearth if you're on a laptop make sure it is detecting your discrete GPU (assuming you have one)
if you look in AEngine.log it will tell you what bucket your CPU & GPU fall into
don't know if I can paste here so I'll do a screenshot
no that's OK. Error Code 1 means "failed to launch the emulator"
is this a fresh install @fading spear
@agile hearth performance bucket. It has a score for your CPU and GPU and puts you in a performance bucket accordingly
the higher bucket you are in, the more features in the graphics menu are unlocked. To get HDR/Extreme you have to be in the highest bucket.
ah, I probably forgot to do the resolution thingy in pubg setting
I believe it had to do with ^ because was fine pre-reinstall
@neat sedge i had the game before one day it gave me this error so i uninstalled it and installed it again many times but since then no luck
It's like this
alright it's not working and there's a curse censor gg lol
@fading spear I have not seen a working fix for this problem. For some people the emulator will not start.
So like what should i do??
@fading spear I'm afraid I don't know. Could ping @gleaming rock and see what he says.
but so far, when this problem occurs you're really screwed.
what's your pc specs?
@fading spear Delete the Temp files dude
That's the root for most download related issues
@neat sedge yeah like my game is off from a month more than that i guess
Do you know where the temp files are located?
I've tried deleting %temp% folder
@fading spear Not that
%ProgramData%
Yeah that
Ohh already deleted that then :(
Inside that folder is another folder called "TxGameDownload"
Not to be confused with TX game assistant
Wait Error 1?
@peak swift had this error'
Dunno if he fixed it yet'
Yeah I deleted TxGameDownload
I tried several techniques but to no avail
But still no luck
Did you have this?
Tried some other emulators but they are not good as gaming buddy
Wait I'm asking someone
No probs waiting :)
I wish I could see a log file of where the emulator gets to during the launch to see why it fails
@neat sedge There is one maybe But not sure which one
@agile hearth i have tried many of them :(
Yeah the video says about restting the pc
when crew challenge will come in emulator?
never
@gleaming rock done that my game started one time only but that was it
wait a moment
that*
@fallen crest Not likely
Well seems like I cant post links
@robust temple not these settings dude emulator settings
@fading spear Someone told me to restart pc
I'm sure you done it already
@robust temple laptop is still booting up, will be with you in a few minutes
Yeah I've done Restart , Also done a reset from windows setting
hold on
Ok
@fading spear Did you include the emulator to the exclusion list of your anti virus
@gleaming rock i don't have any antivirus.
@keen reef
@fading spear Did you exclude it in windows defender
ahh i seriously forgot about windows defender btw i haven't done that yet tho i have tried turning it off
@robust temple ok then try these settings-
ENGINE- enable prioritize gpu
Memory = 2gb
Processor=2
GAME-ultra HD 2K
Display quality=HD
let me try
And also set ingame settings to hd
Sure
@robust temple I'll screenshot my settings for you in a moment, it is just updating the game
Sure man, as its with same specs, I can compare it in a better way
pretty sure we got 30-40 fps out of the laptop last time we played on it
but that was back in summer when it was too hot to play in my office
I used to get stable 55-60 but now my gaming buddy don't work :(
@keen reef
@robust temple for some reason I have set it up to use OpenGL+ as the renderer
I would normally use DirectX+ as it is faster, must be a reason for that
@robust temple well use other rende setting now
Sure
Try direct x+ or opengl
@neat sedge So which one you're using, opengl or directx+
Well My game crashes with opengl+
@robust temple i recommend u to try different Render setting and choose the best one
umm ok
Bcz every pc has its own custom settings
let me try opengl+ again
@keen reef I have a laptop here with almost identical specs to @robust temple
@neat sedge Did you run it?
@gleaming rock should i try excluding ?? trying anyways
@robust temple yes
With opengl+
I don't have the issue
Can you share me the settings
Oh nice
this is running in Windows 10 with the generic driver microsoft provides
Same here
as there's no official AMD driver for that GPU any more
Can you just share me the settings
let me screenshot them for you
Alright
Oh
@robust temple have u enable the performance mode in ur gpu control panel, for tgb?
@keen reef no such thing for this GPU
AMD dosent provide any control panel for this gpu anymore
it used to have back then at 2012
It was named catalyst control centre
Why is emulator test version?
No
@willow pelican there is only a test version for tgb
Depends on your system
Can you share me the system specs
the game didnt crash this time with opengl+
but we don't use it much
Hi, i am unable to access the emulator
@livid osprey there was someone else with the same issue but its unresolved
@neat sedge ๐
@gleaming rock might be able to provide more input
OK glad to hear you are up and running
that message went to the wrong channel mate
did any 1 fix cpu 100% usage?
@robust temple no worries. I had a quick run round the Training Grounds on my wifes laptop and went as low as 25fps and as high as 45fps.
That's quite a range, I personally don't think you are going to enjoy playing on that laptop, it will lag in game
performance seems worse than it used to be a few versions back, I would swear it used to be smoother
@scarlet wadi was fixed with a silent patch in the last version - can you see the message that pops up when you start the game?
Anyone Got Any Solution For Error Code 1 Can help please?
@fading spear I'm sorry but I'm not aware of a solution. Someone else said that restarting the PC was enough to fix it though.
@neat sedge no worries bro thanks for the effort anyways :)
how to fix aow.exe 100% Usage๐
@grim harness you need the update
how bro? manual!
and its aow_exe.exe isn't it
@grim harness apparently the update was silently delivered in the background
do you get a message when you start the game about it?
lol will it work if i directly open aow_.exe? ๐
I got notification every time CPU usage is 100 fix coming soon but not getting update
@fading spear no
@peak swift the update is silent
and the message says the update has been rolled out, not that it is coming
Also my CPU is not getting 100 usage
getting msg like rolling out
did you get the update today for the new season?
no i selected that rolling out fix dont show this again
@grim harness but did you get the update for the new season?
2 or 3 days before
you would think - and I have to say I don't know for sure - that you already have the update for the 100% CPU fix if you already have the new season update
ya im in new update
but then again, nobody knows what tencent get up to behind the scenes
if you are experiencing 100% CPU, and you weren't before, the only advice I can give is to turn the Tencent Gaming Buddy launcher in the background for a few hours and then restart everything
Is any way to download and install new version
I got standard engine instead of aow engine why don't know
@peak swift the standard engine I think gets installed if you have added other apps to TCGB
So how u fix that ?? I install only es
TCGB will run in the AOW engine, and ES File Explorer will run in the standard engine most likely
sorry - PUBG will run in the AOW engine
personally I would just reinstall from scratch and not add other apps to TCGB
@grim harness not that I know of - and AOW is the fastest android emulator out there full stop, nothing else comes close
๐
there's literally no point in messing with it. Only thing that will fix poor performance is better hardware.
ya๐
I think I'm wrong when I said that ES will run in the standard engine
it will run in AOW as well - its been a long time since I installed external apps in TCGB because there's no point to do so.
bro i cant find shared folder in drive D
search your PC for TxGameDownload
that's the shared folder between PC and emulator. There doesn't seem to be much logic as to where TCGB decides to put it though.
actually, if you select the "Diagnose" option in the settings menu, it will tell you where it is. It refers to it as the SD folder
last item on the list
๐
But when you install other apps on tcgb the pubg also runs on standard engine
That's the problem I got from month so
@peak swift that's a strange one
can you take a screenshot of PUBG running in the standard engine? I would like to see the window title in the screenshot.
just post it here
what does task manager look like when its running?
I mean, the window title could just be wrong
It's only uses like. 40 disk usage that's it CPU and GPU both r below 20
I was after the name of the running process actually
Performance is very poor got like hardly 30 max FPS
its a curious thing and no mistake
but to solve your problem, remove the emulator, delete all traces of it and reinstall from scratch
then don't install additional apps in TCGB
Problem is I don't know where it's stores bcoz I uninstall it and tried to reinstall it's install in like 3 sec
no I mean uninstall the whole thing
control panel->programs and features->Tencent Gaming Buddy->uninstall
then remove the temp folder TxGameAssistant
Yup buddy same but when I downloaded 1 mb setup and click install it got install like in 3sec
and remove users/your user name/appdata/local/Tencent for good measure
Deleted all apk data temp folder all of it
must be something residual left behind
Yup and I don't know where it is
there is C:\Program Data\Tencent but that just looks like logifiles
must be in the registry
Thanks bro installing @neat sedge that's why I switched to phoenix os but back to tgb
@peak swift did you delete %AppData%/Roaming/Tencent as well?
Yup
I have downloaded
is the file called GameDownload_PUBG_MOBILE_100103_1.0.5727.123.exe
should be 8.66 MB in size
Hey can I play pubg mobile in emulator with these specs
i5-2320
8 GB ram
Nvidia gt 520
@peak swift so to summarise then (bear with me)
you downloaded TCGB from the official site version 5727 and it installed and updated OK
then you used the F9 hack to install ES File Explorer
then, it downloaded the standard engine
and everything now runs in the standard engine
if you delete all traces of the game and install again, it reinstalls the standard engine?
and reinstalls ES FIle Explorer?
without you intervening in any way, the process is completely automatic
?
Not from f9 I changed Lang to Chinese and download es file from store
Then I got standard version
Then I got standard version
Wt process ??
meaning the install process
after removing all traces of the game and re-installing
it just puts it back the way it was?#
If u install complete engine and change Lang to Chinese it will redownload standard engine
so hold on
No fresh install
Now it's downloaded game
don't install ES File Explorer, leave it alone
Yup
actually - why do you need ES anyway? that software is cancer
Solid Explorer all the way
but you don't need it in TCGB for anything
there is nothing to be gained from installing it
even if you did need it for something, installing it from the F9 hack will make sure it is installed in the currently running emulator
you just have to get yourself back to a clean state and reinstall I think
Back then I got crappy internet 1mbps so to save time I install es and then obb file but now I installing from crash
@peak swift right so you are trying to do something like this video right? th-vision.net/detail/how-to-copy-pubg-mobile-to-pc-tencent-buddy-lag-fix-with-aow-Uk2DI5o3gck.html
@peak swift remove the TCGB software with control panel, remove any folders and registry entries left behind, clean install from scratch
and then don't do anything else ๐
if that doesn't fix it I don't know what will
Yup but instead of download from browser I downloaded from Chinese store so that I got standard engine install
Now that makes sense why you got standard @peak swift
Yaa it's like 2 months finding solutions for this problem today I got it
I understand exactky what has happened the problem is getting him back to a clean state without reinstalling windows
why it keeps doing it over and over I don't know
@peak swift How does it run then?
I am given to understand that it lags badly in the standard engine for him
and, apparently this happens to other users too according to the video I linked
@peak swift
@gleaming rock still downloading
๐
Why am I not getting any gun skins
@neat sedge even after the fix..i still get 100 cpu usgae.. even if i restart game serveral times
@scarlet wadi and before a few weeks ago it worked fine?
yep..i used to get 55-60 fps ๐
i reinstalled TgB frm scratch several times...yet sed life :/
@scarlet wadi the problem is that they made the update install silently in the background, so people don't know if they've had the update or not.
@willow pelican Do you have any gun skins?
Have you equiped them?
all you can do is leave the launcher running for a few hours, restart it and then try again to see if the problem is fixed
when i open game..i get a pop up saying 100% cpu usage is fixed...
so it means game is update?
ok so open n leave tbg for a while?
not the game, the launcher
@gleaming rock I have two gun skins
ok
leave the launcher running in the system tray for a few hours, then restart it
@willow pelican Did you equip them?
Yeah
Hmm weird bug
Scral L
Can I see your weapon skins inventory
okay I'll see it later
๐
I have hp notebook 15
It has Intel hd graphics
Which might be the suitable resolution
1280x720 or 1366x768
@willow pelican 1328x747
Would be a better one
@willow pelican What's the exact of your cpu
For example
i5 7200u
Or i7 8700k
@willow pelican A better way would be to go to the task manager and then to the performance section there would be something telling you how many cores you have
@willow pelican Check pinned messages for dpi
Oh ok @gleaming rock
Select the closest one
@gleaming rock seriously you help a lot man
Some guy told me that default windows have a lot of bugs and I must install a new one. Is that true?
That's what I gotta do dude
๐
@summer ore If you bought a laptop which had preinstalled windows then there are some garbage apps and features installed
Yeah I noticed that
@gleaming rock I love to watch your chat
The best thing to do is to reset windows after buying your laptop
@willow pelican Thanks dude
I selected a option "Start from scratch" in windows defender
@summer ore If you desperately need to reset windows then I suggest restting it but with keeping the files
It would uninstall all non-default apps but keep the files
could any 1 send link of tgb pls
@summer ore Also be sure to install some things after resetting like visual C++ files and direct X
@scarlet wadi https://syzs.qq.com/en/
tq bro
@gleaming rock how many cpu usage is normal? Cuz im getting like ~80% or more
Same with disk usage
Why there is a difference in event
@summer ore entirely depends on what CPU you have and what scene is being rendered
Between two pics in the event
disk usage that high isn't normal though, you probably have some background process like an update happening
@summer ore As @neat sedge Depends on cpu
omg ๐
๐ค
@neat sedge @gleaming rock tq so much ๐ญ i literally cry now ๐ tq so much ...now fixed lag:)
@neat sedge its a AMD A9
@fading spear
@gleaming rock โ This guy need emulator related help can you help him out
He's facing some error
while starting emulator
He's facing some error
I am getting error code 1 :(
What is weird is that i installed that in another laptop(though a low end) it started one time then it's again error code 1 in that also
@fading spear Ram ?
In current laptop 16GB
@fading spear error code 1 means it failed to start the emulator. So after you install it gets to around 98%, the emulator is supposed to launch, and then nothing, right?
or did you manage to get in game even once?
@summer ore there's a range of different models there but its a dual core APU with integrated graphics, that's going to struggle a bit possibly. I'm more familar with Intel CPUs I'm sorry to say.
Assuming you don't have anything running in the background heavily does it achieve a playable framerate normally?
@neat sedge right and then nothing it just says error code 1 after 98%
Also i tried opening aow_exe.exe it says it can't be started on win32 why this thing?
I got me Mobile GPU then if I turn off GPU options then why still it use show on task manager
@summer ore just looked at some benchmarks, the AMD A9 APU doesn't look like a strong processor I'm sorry to say
@fading spear don't try to open aow_exe.exe directly
@fading spear try to open AndroidEmulator.exe instead
@peak swift on my laptop, when the game is running, I see utilisation on both GPUs
@neat sedge Same error on AndroidEmulator.exe
I also tried multi-window option someone suggested me that
@fading spear as I said before to you - I haven't seen a good solution to your problem. If it fails to properly install or fails to run I haven't heard of a fix so far.
@neat sedge my frnd getting blue screen errors any solution
will u suggest any other way to Play Pubg Mobile???
I tried it's pathetic :( @neat sedge
Or u can try to install os
@fading spear it needs a good computer and VT-x for good performance.
it runs fine for me
@neat sedge I have an alienware r4 17
@peak swift phoenix OS is pretty tricky
What specs should i have? @neat sedge
@neat sedge the controls are also working fine??
Memu controls are good, as good as TCGB. Better than Phoenix OS
When correctly configured Memu will run just fine on any computer that can also run TCGB well.
but it needs VT-x enabled in the BIOS
I am not convinced 100% that TCGB needs VT-X
No I tried all emulator but still tgb is best if u Don't have any problems 
Menu got controls issue bluestacks Even worst to play
Is there anyway i can contact with someone else who can help me about my TCGB?
@peak swift I don't have any control issues in Memu the keymapping is nearly identical to TCGB. The mouse is a little lumpy though.
@fading spear you can contact Tencent directly, but good luck
I don't work for Tencent
@neat sedge from where?
no idea, sorry
yes I think so, better than my laptop
my laptop gets 55-60fps and it only has i5 7300HQ and a 1050 2gb
Ohh
Ahan
did you enable VT-x in the BIOS?
its essential for good performance in Memu
actually, having read that page, the instructions are garbage
I wouldn't download any mysterious 3rd party tool
never know what's in it
just boot your PC from cold, go into the BIOS and have a look under CPU features/settings and enable VT-x
takes two minutes
Will be doing so
Btw isn't that weird that i got that same error code 1 in both of my laptop
I guess?
@neat sedge what exactly enabling virtualization do ??
@peak swift it provides hardware acceleration for an emulated CPU
makes vmware, virtualbox and hyper-v virtual machines run faster
Memu is a virtuabox virtual machine in a fancy wrapper
TCGB is not, as far as I can tell, a traditional virtual machine
@fading spear maybe enabling VT-x will make TCGB work. I have never tried it with it disabled because I use a lot of virtual machines for work. One of the first things I do when setting up a new PC is to turn it on.
there are some antivirus programs that can hog VT-x though even if it is enabled, read this www.memuplay.com/blog/2016/07/16/fix-vt-off-warning/
@neat sedge i've a amd a9-9410 which is compared with a intel i5 afaik
but i think its by my gpu, since its a amd radeon r5
@summer ore a9-9410 not comparable to a modern i5 like mine
GPU is a bit better than Intel built in
you will struggle, the emulator needs a powerful CPU and doesn't even use the GPU much
guys I have to make a move - I'll catch you all later
oh okay ๐ฆ well thanks you anyway
Hello, what is wrong with tencent emulator? I am having 800+ ms in Europe(Normally 90). I can not even play. There is no problem on my internet, I can play without any problem on mobile but if I am trying to play it on emulator, I can not even get into match. It is said "The server is not responding." I tried to enter match many times but I can not play. Please help me...
I also paid for royale pass but I can not do missions because of ping. I can not even enter the match! It is so annoying...
TGB sucks ๐
Is it because of TGB? may i use another emulator?
I'm using nox and I can't use mic to speak what can I do without changing emulator
@pale perch use discord and tell your squad to use discord
Try ldplayer
TGB is based from LDplayer build
@peak swift Thank you so much. It is OK for now, I havent had a problem since I told here ๐
@peak swift For now Tencent emulator ๐ Thank you๐
It was a pleasure. ๐
my pubg keeps crashing at the loading screen
in tencent emulator btw
any tips?
@fading spear Did the exclusion method work for you?
@hazy oxide Did you receive the update that fixes the 100% cpu usage issu?
@cerulean delta I suggest u to check the application taking your internet in the background
Open task manager and tap on the network list and see which app is using most of your internet
Suspend that application if it is installed by u and turn off auto updates of every application
To easily check whether anything is downloading in background or not, simply check the speed u r getting while ur TGB is opened, if it is around 20 kbps then okay, if it is 100 kbps+ then there is something that is getting downloaded and better turn it off
If the data speed reaches 50kbps+ for me, I feel suspicious and checks which app is doing that and takes action whichever is best for it without harming my pc
Why the overlay of MSI AFTERBURNER and NZXT's CAM isn't coming
I don't have battleye installed by myself but if it installed by any other app then I don't know, so how do I check it
@neat sedge
I used to have overlay before but now it is not coming up
My windows is having latest version, I also had latest version of Afterburner and rivatuner then I uninstalled them and installed latest version of CAM still nothing seems to work for me
@gleaming rock hey
wadup dude
@gleaming rock just wished u
Hi, a few weeks ago I downloaded the Miramar map and it failed while extracting (at 75%) because I did not have enough space. The next time I restarted the emulator, I see the map is available (no error or download option), but when I try to play a match, I get an error that server connection failed or timeout.
So, how can I uninstall the map and re-install it? I watched a few videos but I could not find any ".PAK" files. ๐ฆ
@spice sentinel clear cache
i m getting "failed to Launch Gaming buddy " In TGB How to fix it?
@keen reef Does not work.
@spice sentinel u wanted to uninstall map?
Yes.
@spice sentinel then clear the cache of game
@keen reef Any specific files or folders?
And i think repair will work
@keen reef , Repair did not work.
@spice sentinel then clear the cache of game
By using the Android settings panel of tgb
@keen reef , LOL, I'm feeling like a dumb. ๐ Thanks
hi i m getting "failed to Launch Gaming buddy " In TGB How to fix it?
@silk comet @gleaming rock
guys im having a big issuw
issue*
whenever i right click my mouse normally my scope opens
but now it starts firing
for the past few days
@ruby igloo Do you have a screenshot dude?
@west grove Did you review your controls
hold on
Here
@spice sentinel As @keen reef said you should clear cache since the file directory on the emulator is a bit different than the one in mobile, so the ".pak" file you mentioned is harder to find,
Clearing cache is the only way to fix the issue rather than reinstalling
@ruby igloo Okay so follow my steps
@west grove I'll get back to you after I help this guy
I'm thinking of the problem that's causing your issue
Hey
no problem
ok
@ruby igloo Go to the install directory which is "TxGameAssistant"
ok i m there
Send me a screenshot of what's in that folder
here
Make a backup of those two folders "AOW_Rootfs" and "AOW_Rootfs_1"
Like copy and paste them to another location other than the "TxGameAssistant" folder
Okay lemme know when it completes
it will take a little bit of time it's nearly 5 GB
I'll wait
What is the new paytm option in emulator
there is?
Isn't Paytm like the Indian Paypal bootleg?
Yup
@ruby igloo Are you done?
@ruby igloo Okay so reinstall the emulator
No need to redownload the game,
Totally Uninstall & Reinstall?
Before you do that
Do you have any account linked in?
i have a account linked in but it is google play so it cant be used in TGB
I'm afraid your progression will be lost if you're using a guest account
I started as guest but than linked My Google play Account
@ruby igloo do u play pubg on phone?
Yeah man if u are not connected your acc to facebook or amother thing
@ruby igloo How did you link your google? Account
Nvm just are you sure your progress are saved by your account?
no my phone doesn't support PUBGM
How did u use google acc. Dude
on another Emulator Memu or something
@ruby igloo ohh then i suggest u to do same thing and link it with 2nd account using twitter or fb or anything u like
Then do whatever u want to ur game
@ruby iglooor u can use your Friends phone to link acc.
@ruby igloo Okay so completely reinstall the emulator
then open the emulator and kill the process just when the game starts downloading
but i uninstalled that emulator because i was getting much better performance on TGB
@ruby igloo so the better thing to do would be to link a secondary facebook or twitter account using the other emulator
yes thats what i was going to say
okay i will do that but do you know what is causing this problem ? i got this error a while back but it was automatically fixed after some times
is it related to GPU or something
@ruby igloo Basically a software related issue
nothing to do with hardware or anything
okay thanks a lot guys.
well this is a new one - its actually my turn to have a problem with the emulator @gleaming rock
I'm still salty about it too
?
last night we lost a game because my son's game froze for 5-10 seconds when he was driving
he's using my old potato PC. I don't remember this ever happening before the last update.
@ruby igloo After killing the process when the game starts downloading then replace the "AOW_Rootfs" which you made a back up of and paste them to the "TxGameAssistant" Folder
@neat sedge Did you check the temperature or the cpu/disk usage?
thanks
@gleaming rock have to say I didn't check anything, was too busy trying not to die

never had significant freezes before
@west grove Okay your turn
not even on the potato
yesss
@neat sedge Looks like a disk usage issue to me
@west grove Open the emulator first and then join a game "Most likely Training for convenience"
@neat sedge I wanted to talk about something I saw yesterday
@west grove Then make sure if the problem is still happening or not
We need to verifiy that for the next step
@gleaming rock ping me when you're ready
@west grove Open the control panel and go to the mouse section
@neat sedge I wanted to know what kind of reflections these are
They are not SSR or Cubemaps
@west grove Then click on switch primary and try again
@west grove So what happened?
@west grove But we have a problem
?
It may have switched your primary and secondary button for other stuff
Try to right click on desktop and bring up the "Refresh" option
its alright?
i have another problem regarding my tgb
when i run while holding shift and w
i cant switch my gun if its on th 1 slot
the*
@west grove So is right click on windows working correctly now?
yes
then we're fine
@west grove to fix the weapon switch option try deleting the "2" button on the button layout and place it again
By 2 I mean the button that's on the secondary slot
hmm, then it looks more like an emulator bug
Have to do some digging
@gleaming rock I'm told they are using cubemaps plus the skybox and some clever post processing. Shader details here: developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Water_(shader)
@neat sedge Also this isn't screen space reflection as seen here
And cubemaps can't be this accurate
@neat sedge I'll check it out
@neat sedge If you see the other secreenshot then you'll see a reflection of the airboat which isn't a part of the skybox as it's an entity
@gleaming rock read the shader notes - there are a bunch of different options - you can have cubemaps, skybox, entity reflections
also an "expensive" version that does real time reflections but it doesn't specify the method used. But that's the actual code, right there.
so these freezes when playing - I've heard of other people with this problem, do we have a handle on what the likely causes of it are?
seems like the emulator just chokes and locks up for a few seconds
either a delay accessing some resource it needs (memory, disk,network) or maybe bad multi-threaded design (main thread gets locked out)
Wonder why are spending so much time on ray tracing when we got valve covering our back
jk
@gleaming rock in graphics there's like a "fast" way that looks meh, a "slow" way that looks great, and then there's ray tracing which is basically perfect
before PBR, we used to have make make diffuse, specular + bump textures for everything
now with PBR we can just specify the material the model is made of and let the engine do the rest
with water, we have to muck about with cubemaps and normal maps and god knows what else
with ray tracing we just tell the engine "this bit is water"
imagine that
solves so many problems and speeds up development
think of how hard it is to get good shadows
so many trade offs
same with realtime GI
volumetric lights, height fog and all that
ray tracing means we don't have to kludge those any more
still too slow in my opinion, but that's how it always starts
@gleaming rock how come you have so much knowledge about all the bugs you are great dude๐ ๐ค 

@neat sedge I still make specular and texture maps with a knockoff version of Crazy bumps
Do we have snow added in the map
@willow pelican no
@pale perch are u sure
Yes
No where they said snow map is added and I heard that for PC it comes around December and for mobile it comes on 2019
Oh ok @pale perch ty
this message makes me unable to play, every moment inside the game is appearing this window saying that the emulator has detected that I want to make a purchase
@orchid dirge Did you try to bypass the emulator detection?
@orchid dirge if I m not wrong then now u can make purchases in the emu too
I had that pop half an hour ago saying that I can make PUBG purchases on the emu
Translation says this
@orchid dirge So that must be a new feature and just a pop up.
There should be an option to select "Do not show this Window again"
Did they forget to add it
@gleaming rock I ignore precionando in cancel or X and even so you perciste
That should've popped up only once if it does several times then we gotta report it
@vagrant bay I know that and to make purchases in the emulator now, but the warning does not stop appearing during the game, if I press shift to run the message appears every 10 seconds
@gleaming rock I believe so, because the message appears as in print.
another weird bug
I already reported inside the game and I came in the discord to report the error
@vagrant bay Are you facing this bug as well?
Hello Guys, I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 recently, Deleted Tencent Gaming Buddy (TGB) and later on reinstalled it.Now I am facing an issue, I am not able to see any text In menu, Settings and more
Images:
@stone rose Broken installation
Reinstall the emulator
wait a fookin second
Is that chinese?
try changing to a different language
I'm using nox, game was working fine till yesterday
But when I click the icon, it goes to game loading screen as usual and after a few seconds(still in loading screen) it goes to my home screen again
Not sure about nox, as I didn't use it as much
@gleaming rock I have reinstalled it several times, Never worked. I need to see the list of languages in settings and where the hell language is written
No text loading up.
@gleaming rock Bye, Changed the language though
@gleaming rock nope, I ain't facing it
When i start game, it takes about 30 seconds and again goes to home screen. I use nox and I have another game too in it, that game works well but pubg isn't. I played even yesterday but today it isn't letting me play help me please
I didn't get it, I was having around 59 FPS constantly in a battle, now in the last battle I played I was having around 40fps
It is very strange
While the scenario of the background apps was same
What
Btw why it is occupying 200MB RAM only? I have set it to 8GB, I have seen many people saying that set the app to take that much ram according to your total RAM I dont know how to do that
I don't want anything else just want to know that why it was 59 FPS in one match and 40 in other
Even when there were 3 squads including ours
Atleast you can play, but my game is not even starting
@vagrant bay how are you measuring the ram usage?
tgb official
Just help me if you can I don't want the suggestion
@pale perch I agree with @willow pelican don't use Nox
@pale perch not enough to run Nox or TCGB
It can run nox
@neat sedge
And I wasable to play till yesterday
It is not opening suddenly today
@pale perch you have 2gb ram total in your PC? what OS are you even running
Win 7
you only just meet the minimum specs for Nox. Problem is, you have only just the bare minimum of ram needed to run Windows 7 properly as well.
how much RAM did you allocate to the emulator?
you said its not opening
Yes
@pale perch in the emulator settings I mean
I said it is not opening today only I was playing yesterday
@neat sedge I forgot I set in may
hmm a dual core but 4 threads - you might be able to get away with allocating 2 cores in the emulator
so set 2 cores, 1gb ram in the emulator settings
Performance settings - middle(2 core CPU, 1024MB memory)
yes that's fine
That's what someone in a yt vid said me to put
but not enough barely to run anything big
Whatever it maybe
Why it was working till yesterday
And not tody
Today*
What about frame settings?
What should I fix
openGL probably, 60fps, whatever your desktop resolution is
change it to OpenGL and see if that helps, it is usually more stable and has less graphics glitches
also try 720 p
Less graphic glitches?
less graphic memory usage
I remember one of the mode made the green grass to blue
yes, some games don't work correctly in Nox in DirectX mode
But I forgot which mode it is
Yea ik it is one mode opengl or speed idk which
I realise the game was working before, but to me your specs are so low I'm surprised that it did
I am not surprised however that it is unstable - with so little RAM it could crash out anytime
And sometimes nox says graphics driver outdated and changes the mode
what graphics?
geforce 210 one sec
@neat sedge opengl didn't work
Cuz of frame settings? It was around 20 I think I set very low
probably not but you can set it back to 60 and see
It is 60 now
is it laptop? if desktop you can upgrade
maybe just try reinstalling Nox and reinstalling the game from scratch (link your PUBG account to a social network first)
Desktop and I can't upgrade my parents won't
but really you don't have enough horsepower to play
@stone rose So did it fix the issue?
i think the game will play but no background apps
I'll just try creating a new instance and copy game files
@pale perch try bluestack
@tawny path yea it will and I won't run anything else
it all depends on how much time you are willing to spend on it
Cuz it alag sometimes
@willow pelican tried it at first
Didn't even start so I tried nox and it did so started playing in nix
Nox*
Nox is not so good i feel
Nox installs a whole load of crap in the background
@neat sedge wdym by time? I spend a lot tbh
I always remove their launcher and put on Nova launcher when I have to use Nox for anything
So what's the problem here?
@pale perch if you are young and broke and have plenty of time sure - spend a bunch of time trying to get it to work that's what I mean. It's worth it.
*loading
Otherwise hit up ebay and get yourself some more RAM like yesterday
@pale perch What's your system specs?
@neat sedge yea I have time and I can even install the whole game again if I have internet but I don't I just use a old modem which works only for pubg idk how tho
@gleaming rock Intel i3-3220@3.3Ghz, 2gb ram, geforce 210
3.1 ghz i5 geforce 210 and 2gb ram
mine is 1.8ghz i5 , intel hd 4000 and 8gb ram
i can run it smooth with rare lag moments
@tawny path gg changed the processor itself
@pale perch As @neat sedge said maybe the ram is causing the issue
My cousin tried to run it at 2gb ram with a core 2 duo
Had the same results as yours
Also resolution of nox - 800*600
yes , try lowest settings as low as possible
:]
Yea that's what I used till now
4gb ram for your PC would cost just ยฃ30 brand new, or cheaper from ebay
it would literally change your performance overnight
yes
@gleaming rock yea ik ram is the problem but game was working fine till yesterday and not today all of a sudden that's why I doubt it's not cuz of ram
Hmm well that's kinda odd
you can get 8gb DDR3 1600 for ยฃ16 on ebay, Corsair too
for more performance i launch task manager and end task "explorer.exe"
I did that in the starting @tawny path
it always helps
But I don't think it gave much performance
@pale perch Another thing I want to point out is that
The game had a weird 100% cpu usage problem for emulators after the 0.9.1 update
it was addressed and fixed on TGB but not sure if that's an issue there or if it has been fixed
So I continued to play with it
@pale perch there has most probably been a game update, or your emulator is doing something in the background
Nox often downloads and installs "promoted" apps
i dont think i got 100% cpu usage bug ever , but
game sometimes starts to lag , get choppy mid game ,
then i have to close and start it for smooth experience again
@pale perch wait what
Internet doesn't come but pubg works
what
you can't play an internet multiplayer game without internet my dear boy
@gleaming rock so update is what the cause of this?
pubg wont run without net
no, most likely it is crashing because it can't connect!
Read my 2nd msg
@pale perch you are mistaken very sorry
@neat sedge how did I play yesterday then
because you had internet
@pale perch Most likely yes
@neat sedge As he explains it
It's not what he meant
@gleaming rock you are right of course this is a PICNIC error
And for updates, I copy obb file from shareit
If it were because of internet then he would've gotten the "Failed to connect" error message but he seems to crash before he even sees it
Yea
@gleaming rock tencent coding not that great lol
And it never said that error I was able to play well
@neat sedge Agree with that
you cannot physically play the game without internet it will not run
PICNIC error so I'll leave you to it Phil
@neat sedge dude
Also I can play Coc with that modem
Some games can use that modem's internet and connect to servers
@pale perch If you have time then buy about 4/5gb of mobile data and redownload the game
Also didn't know people still played that game
Why that much GB and download when it's around 1.7
I don't either I played Coc before with the same internet
@pale perch Okay use 2.5gb
as you know internet can be quite unstable when on an emulator
I think I have to try reinstall
And why should I even waste internet
I have obb file I'll get apk file from someone and install ez
good idea then
Then for connecting, I'll tether my phone internet
Ok I'll try that
If it didn't work, what should I do?
you could do all that and still need to upgrade your RAM in the end
Yeah 8gb ram now cost less than actual games
just found 2x4gb DDR3 1600mhz crucial RAM on ebay for ยฃ16 + ยฃ3 delivery
Another thing is mine is 32 bit that's the main reason I didn't buy ram
Any plans for PubG mobile on Microsoft Store?
@pale perch 32 bit win 7?
Then buy another 2gb ram which is even e=cheaper
@warped sluice Why not steam?
Nobody uses microsoft store
Cuz I'll have to upgrade to 64 bit at first and then buy around 8 instead of wasting for a 2gb ram
There is millions using Microsoft store
@warped sluice I don't think the emulator would work as a sandboxed UWP app
TCGB has many system-level optimisations to make it run so well
@warped sluice Millions but most of them are on Xbox and not many people uses that on pc
Any ideas to download tgb on 3gb ram
Haven't heard of Minecraft Windows 10? :P
@pale perch Not really
@warped sluice if you knew how the emulator works you'd know it wouldn't work as a sandboxed UWP app
@warped sluice Yeah but the Java version has more users than the windows 10 version
@gleaming rock #questions -_- someone is weird there
Actually Windows 10 version is not alone, it is cross-platform
@neat sedge The emulator uses too much cpu
I can run GTA V btw
@warped sluice because its an emulator
@warped sluice If they wanna port this "Low spec" version of the game to pc then steam would reach a wider audience than microsoft store
i heard pubg mobile runs smooth on android based os
you have to understand that it is simulating the hardware of an android device on a PC
@warped sluice GTAV ain't even that demanding
that simulation comes at a cost in terms of performance
@neat sedge He's talking about a port of this port for low spec pc users
They should release it on steam then
@gleaming rock this is what they did with Rules of Survival
@gleaming rock you said about that 100% CPU usage
So what happens when 100% of CPU is being used
@neat sedge There is actually a port of the mobile version of pubg for windows
It's called Pubg Project Thai
I'm sure that they could build a native windows version of PUBGM
Game exits and comes to home screen?
@gleaming rock that's a ground up rewrite of the PC version
@pale perch Well game crash, performance drops etc
Yes Davewuk they should
@warped sluice I suspect that they do not have the license to do so, or there are technical reasons why not
Then they should use Microsoft store like some mobile games did
Let me check whether or not it uses much on starting
As far as I can tell, they could improve performance in the emulator by compiling the game to x86 instructions, it would run much faster
but they don't, maybe because they don't want to distribute two versions (arm and x86) or maybe they use some libs that don't have x86 versions
android on x86 is dead these days so I understand
I suspect its more to do with licensing - they got a license to make a mobile game,
not a PC game - for those that want to play on PC there is a PC version, and soon there will be a low-end PC version
Microsoft will give them license and even money :3
@warped sluice I can't imagine MS are the slightest bit interested
True they are already disappointed with the Xbox port
they had PUBG on Xbox as a time exclusive and they'd bring THAT version to the store if they wanted it
the Xbox port is terrible
I can understand people wanting the game to run on a toaster but honestly
Only my cpu is a toaster :3
The graphical fidelity of the game isn't that great but it still can't hit 60 even on the Xbox one X
@warped sluice CPU most critical component for an emulator, it does all the work
๐ฆ
faster CPU + more cores = faster emulation
Battlefield V runs at 60 on the X why can't pubg
CPU usage didn't even cross 60% @gleaming rock
hmm then not sure about that
