[willow pelican]

@tawny path did you download it

[tawny path]

@willow pelican good morning , not yet xD i ran out of data last night (only have 3 gigs per day)

will play on tgb for now

[peak swift]

Hi, I'm using LDPlayer and it seems like I can't log in now?

I'm not using a cracked app or anything. I have redownloaded pubg and it still gives me this error.

[vagrant bay]

Reinstall it then @peak swift

[peak swift]

@vagrant bay I have

[vagrant bay]

Hmm

[peak swift]

and it still gives me the same message wtf

[vagrant bay]

Where did u downloaded the game from?

[peak swift]

app store

I'm using LDPlayer

[vagrant bay]

Hmm

[tawny path]

is he banned?

[peak swift]

Impossible. Why would I be banned

wtf

[vagrant bay]

Yah he is banned

[tawny path]

why it says locked i dont understand ,
maybe expert people know what it means

[vagrant bay]

Do a file claim is your last option

[peak swift]

Banned for what wtf

[vagrant bay]

It will get unlocked next year xD

[tawny path]

could be a false positive if you were not cheating , try contacting them

[peak swift]

Why would I cheat lmfao

[vagrant bay]

Idk

[peak swift]

Game is too easy

[tawny path]

not true

its fun nevertheless

[vagrant bay]

File claim now mate

[peak swift]

I don't get how they think i'm using a cracked version wtf

How do I proof that I'm not using a cracked version

[tawny path]

you gotta send them screenshots of what you using

[keen reef]

@peak swift dude install tgb then try to login

Maybe there is a problem with player

[peak swift]

@keen reef I tried logging on my phone and it still gives me the message lol

this is a joke

@tawny path you got the same message?

[keen reef]

@peak swift not a joke ur account will start to working on 1 jan 2019

So wait for new year

[peak swift]

I didn't USE a cracked version THO

or cheat

[keen reef]

@peak swift then file a report

[peak swift]

I did...

They probably won't reply

lol

[keen reef]

Ok so wait for response they Will reply

On Monday

Bcz today is Sunday

[peak swift]

They don't work on weekends?

[keen reef]

@peak swift nope

[peak swift]

So, I got banned from the automatic system?

[tawny path]

probably a false positive or could be your fault , lemme launch tgb and check

[keen reef]

@peak swift have u used any other 3rd party app to enhance the game like gfx tool or something else?

[peak swift]

@tawny path I don't cheat or either did I download a cracked version of pubg

@keen reef nope

There is no need to cheat on pubg mobile

Maybe something in the emulator you used must've triggered their system?

If you need to use cheats for this game, you're trash

[tawny path]

people who cheat are lost ones

[keen reef]

@peak swift no one gets banned for nothing dude

[tawny path]

i call them the lost ones, ive been there when i was a kid

generally people who have no love in life try to cheat to achieve something

[peak swift]

@keen reef Dude, I literally don't cheat or either did I download a cracked version. Someone got banned aswell too

lol

They haven't did anything

[keen reef]

Maybe ur a rare case of cheating bot mistake

[tawny path]

then i grew up and realised either you give love or take love so i changed.

[keen reef]

@tawny path what r u talking here dude its not a love hub 😂 😂

@tawny pathchat in #emulator-chat

[peak swift]

Like smokey said, that's most likely a false positive. Better to let them know about it so that issues like these won't happen again. @peak swift

The reason I use LDPlayer instead of tencent gaming buddy is because LDPlayer has better performance than tencent gaming buddy lol

I bet anyone who use LDplayer got banned

[keen reef]

@peak swift y u add lol in ur every statement, as i said just wait for their response or play with another account until u get unbanned

[peak swift]

@keen reef because lol is my favorite word to say

If I delete the app, will my ticket be deleted

[keen reef]

@peak swiftwhat tickets?

[peak swift]

When I click file claim and did that chat thing

[keen reef]

@peak swift dunno i never did that thing

In my opinion leave the app alone don't delete it for a while

And use another account to play

[elder crown]

@gleaming rock Got it. Enabled. It seems the system crashes. I have a extra power supply should i power the gpu sepratelyto see if it works

Becoz it is being utilised over 90%

[willow pelican]

Can anyone send keypad setting of TGB

Plad

Plss *

[keen reef]

@willow pelicankey mappings of tgb?

@willow pelican

[willow pelican]

Y is f in star

[dusk pumice]

because it does different things, depending on the context.

[willow pelican]

Can we do the same in ×86 pheonix

[gleaming rock]

@elder crown Try to run the newer card you bought seperately
and see if it works or not
Might be due to broken parts
Ask @dusk pumice For more info

[vagrant bay]

@gleaming rock please come to PUBGM support I need an urgent help

[gleaming rock]

okay I'll be there

[willow pelican]

Us ther any other software that can be used in keymapping in emulators

[peak swift]

Ldplayer is the best emulator for pubg

[willow pelican]

I am using ×86

I want a app to use different keymapping

[gleaming rock]

@willow pelican Not sure about that
also if you're playing on a pc It's bound to be x86

Even a pentium 4 uses x86

[willow pelican]

Yeah

It supports

@gleaming rock and works good

[gleaming rock]

The game will be always focused on ARM architecture cause it was built on ARM from the ground up

[willow pelican]

Oh

[gleaming rock]

The emulator is just emulating ARM and converting it for X86

If it was built for X86 then we had to skip that step giving us a massive performance boost

[willow pelican]

Do we get gun skins in lucky chicken crate

[gleaming rock]

Not sure haven't checked

[willow pelican]

@gleaming rock how come you know so much about all the tech issues dude?

[gleaming rock]

I just keep my eye out for stuff like this

[willow pelican]

Impressive

Just got a dress wow

In lucky chicken create

[fading spear]

Anyone Got Any Solution For error code 1

[gleaming rock]

Not yet dude

[vagrant bay]

@willow pelican how much time does system initializing takes?

[willow pelican]

@vagrant bay 20 mins if you have selected 32bg

[fading spear]

@gleaming rock do u have any support email or anything?? I am a streamer and my stream is stopped due to this :'(

[vagrant bay]

@willow pelican how I can make phoenix OS use my dedicated graphics card?

[gleaming rock]

@fading spear I may have the link to their telegram group
and their chinese forums

[willow pelican]

@vagrant bay I don't know about that sorry

[patent karma]

any other fix for my problem 🙄

[floral maple]

@vagrant bay 3rd party emulators are not exactly our strong suit, we mainly assist with TGB issues.

You may need to contact Phoenix OS's customer support team if you can't find the answer within our community.

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock when @peak swift says "x86" I think he is referring to Phoenix

[gleaming rock]

oh

[neat sedge]

not his CPU architecture

so people are getting bans for using LDplayer? just seem another one on Reddit

did LDplayer have circumvention for emulator detection?

or a third party keymapping app?

I almost daren't open Memu in case my main account gets banned - are they banning all third party emulators now?

[peak swift]

@neat sedge u play on tgb or any os

[neat sedge]

@peak swift I play on TCGB but I also have Memu installed - only really concerned about Memu as its logged into my main account

@peak swift I only installed Memu to see what the alternatives to TCGB were like and also so I can use Google Play

BRB

[peak swift]

I tried menu but it's having some mouse switching issue did u get that

@neat sedge hey. Whats up man

Btw how u can transfer files from memu to pc folder @neat sedge

[trim patrol]

@peak swift i also get this message

I use memu

[neat sedge]

@peak swift 😃

@trim patrol oh well that's bad news. It looks like the most recent ban wave has been a bit indiscriminate

[wheat hollow]

Regarding the ban we are questioning the team on it.

[neat sedge]

@peak swift no way that I know of, Titanium Backup doesn't work in TCGB - at least not when I tried it last

[wheat hollow]

I need some more details from users who got banned with TGB

[neat sedge]

@peak swift I just log in with Facebook

@wheat hollow there are some on the TCGB google group I saw but no-one here so far

[wheat hollow]

the google group is a headache so i dont attend it. I am an administrator of that group also

Whats this Crowbot for ?

@regal swan

[peak swift]

No I'm talking about memu

And I'm getting purchase error in tgb @neat sedge from last night but I didn't purchase anything

[neat sedge]

@peak swift I heard something on Reddit where people were getting a pop up saying "we've detected you are trying to make a purchase" - is what what you are talking about? seems to redirect users to a browser to make a purchase but only works in India

@peak swift Memu has shared folders you can use to transfer file to and from the emulator if that's what you mean. I just use Google Drive myself, its built into Solid Explorer. One other thing I also do with Memu is block their cr@ppy launcher and install Nova Launcher. Apart from that I don't use it much, just for fiddling about with.

[wheat hollow]

Yes the web purchase is how emu purchase works.

I am negotiating a better method to the team, hopefully opening purchase via emu to the entire world.

[neat sedge]

@wheat hollow seems to have a few bugs at the moment 😃

[wheat hollow]

You can always share them to me on tg group.

I will be happy to share with the team

[neat sedge]

@wheat hollow I don't go there that place is cancer

I'm either here or on Reddit

[wheat hollow]

xD haha okay but i am usually not on discord

[neat sedge]

If you have contact with the team, could you ask them to publish minimum specs for the emulator, along with expected FPS at a given resolution

they could clear up a lot of problems that come from people with potato PCs trying to run TCGB and expecting 60fps 1080p

[wheat hollow]

Thats quite difficult and we are working on minum req. but untill it can be tested we cannot give any such req

[neat sedge]

👌

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge so is there any chances that my acc will get banned for using pheonix

[neat sedge]

@willow pelican I don't know - doesn't it use Octopus for keymapping? Octopus is bannable

[willow pelican]

Nope it used panda keymapping

[neat sedge]

@willow pelican if it circumvents emulator detection, and uses a keymapping app I would say it is risky

there are people using LDplayer and Memu that got bans - I know of three who said that just this morning

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge thank God I was about to install octopus

[neat sedge]

people using mobiles have been banned for using octopus

but I've not heard of any Phoenix user getting a ban

[willow pelican]

What is octopus use for

Used * for

[neat sedge]

@willow pelican maps keyboard and mouse to screen taps

on a mobile you can use it to control PUBG with a mouse and keyboard, which is bannable

luckily TCGB has the best keymapping there is and you don't need it

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge hope my acc don't get banned

Praying to god it won't happen

[magic ice]

guys on the emulator it occasionally stutters

anyone know why?

[neat sedge]

@willow pelican I can't honestly say what will or won't happen as I don't know. The latest ban wave seems to have had a few false positives.

@magic ice incorrect configuration, underpowered hardware or network lag

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge oh ok

[magic ice]

my network is solid and my hardware is good i think @neat sedge

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge ty for information

[magic ice]

so it must be the config

[neat sedge]

@magic ice that's what they all say

what are your specs?

[magic ice]

16 GB ram

GTX 1050 Ti

i7 processor

[willow pelican]

Is there any mail id so that I can contact pubg support

[neat sedge]

which i7 @magic ice

@willow pelican use the feature in game?

[willow pelican]

Oh good idea

Lol I completely forgot it

[magic ice]

7700 @neat sedge

[neat sedge]

@magic ice you will still get the odd stutter even with that spec

but nothing that would interfere with gameplay

I have a 6600k oc'd to 4.4ghz, 16gb ram and a GTX 970 which is also oc'd and I still get the odd stutter

its just a little network lag

[magic ice]

oh

ok thanks @neat sedge

but like what do you recommend config wise

[neat sedge]

make sure you set directX+ as your renderer, 4 cores, 4gb RAM, 1080p

in game, set HDR mode and extreme frame rate

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge but TBG WORKS GOOS FOR YOU WITHOUT ANY LAG

[neat sedge]

turn off antialiasing and turn off auto adjust graphics

@willow pelican actually I have four PCs - they don't all work so well

[magic ice]

goddamn! thanks dude!

i set it to smooth tho cause it makes stuff much more visible

[willow pelican]

What about memu

[neat sedge]

@willow pelican runs well for me solid 60fps but on smooth/extreme only

mouse feels very bad though, sometimes it stutters horribly

I have to reduce my gaming mouse polling rate to clear up the stutters

in TCGB I don't have to do anything like that

I don't use Memu now as a result of this issue, which came in the last update

[magic ice]

thanks @neat sedge oi appreciate it man

[neat sedge]

@magic ice sure thing no problem

guys I've got to go

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge cya dyde

[neat sedge]

you too man

[willow pelican]

@neat sedge ty for help

[neat sedge]

NP -later

[willow pelican]

Later

[summer ore]

Im still getting "100% cpu ussage issue fixed" msg lol

[peak swift]

Controls only working on Normal 720 p & key mapping sucks on that resolution

Any fixes?

[plush delta]

Emulator is getting worse day by day

I went to take a drop and at the same time a guy came there in a car

I started shooting and my game froze

Wtf man

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice hey found something for error 1?

[grim harness]

@plush delta same

[dusk pumice]

emulation has always needed cpu beefcake. this will only trend towards needing more beefcake as time goes on, not less. it's a cycle. more powerful processors on the market mean emulators can do more. emulator designers make the future emulators with current generation processors in mind, so cpu makers race to make more powerful processors to keep up with the emulator demands(well, all programs' demands, but yeah). over and over. @plush delta

@peak swift sorry, I don't have any updates on that

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice :-(

You won't believe what specs I'm playing on rn. SD 801 with adreno 330

That was flagship in 2014

But now it only gives me smooth with medium

[dusk pumice]

4 years is a long time in the tech world

[peak swift]

Exactly. My mobile with sd652 and adreno 510 I bricked it by mistake

The only mobile available spare was this

[dusk pumice]

anyway, my point is that if you want to use the same hardware for even so much as just a couple of years(totally reasonable), you should expect the performance to get worse over time, with the emulator

[peak swift]

I'm surprised how this thing can still run pubg. Like it just has 16gbs of internal storage 😂.

It got 70k on antutu

My mobile that's like so much newer than this got 100k

I mean this sd801 still gets 70k

[dusk pumice]

internal storage isn't an issue when it comes to performance, mostly

[peak swift]

Can't download maps

I'm using this mobile for regular use

If I download miramarr I'll be left with only 500 mbs space

[dusk pumice]

that's true, but that isn't affecting performance(frame rates and frame times)

[peak swift]

Umm I had a question

While charging why the device lags?

Like without charging I get a good performance.

[dusk pumice]

I couldn't say. there could be a number of reasons

[peak swift]

Frame rate medium is 30fps?

[dusk pumice]

if I were to take a guess, I'd say that it lags while changing because the processor is also running some code in the background(probably intended to monitor the charging, make sure that the current being delivered isn't too much)

but that's only a guess

[peak swift]

The mobile has qcom qucik charge 2.0

It gets around 2000maH current while charging

The devices in 2017 don't get this much

They stay at 1500 maH

[dusk pumice]

again, only a guess. also, the phone is called smart for a reason. it wouldn't be particularly smart if it didn't monitor its charging, now, would it?

that said, there's more than one way to skin(monitor) a cat(your own charging)

[peak swift]

I won't call it guess 😂. Seems to me it's the truth

[dusk pumice]

well, it's still a guess. it's a reasonable guess, but a guess just the same

[peak swift]

Besides adreno 330 introduced in mid 2013 was a high end gpu

@dusk pumice seems legit

[dusk pumice]

high end will never stay high end indefinitely. so mentioning that so and so was high end in that and that year doesn't really mean much. it's the nature of the world. it's always one upping itself.

[peak swift]

Yeah exactly

I still remember

My dad wanted to get the new iphone

iPhone was around 50k here

This one was 36k

So I told my dad to buy this

Never heard of the company before. But now it's one of the global leaders in mobile Xiaomi

When I told my friends they hadn't heard of this company before.

Now everyone is using a redmi series product

[still wyvern]

the best settings i can play with ?

[peak swift]

@still wyvern specs?

[gleaming rock]

@still wyvern Depends on your specs

[gleaming rock]

@dusk pumice
Heard NVIDIA Freesync works with NVIDIA cards
Can you suggest me a good 120hz 1080p freesync monitor

[dusk pumice]

@gleaming rock nvidia doesn't work with freesync. nvidia's freesync equivalent is gsync. gsync monitors cost as much as an entry level gaming pc.

you can make nvidia cards work with freesync, but you will need a processor with an amd igpu. google will help you there.

i myself have recently been looking at high refresh rate 1080p monitors, but all i can find is 144 hz and costs over 150 usd. perhaps i'm not the best source for a recommendation here. the folks at pcmr will be more than able and willing to help

[gleaming rock]

Might even get a ryzen 3
so that might help as well

[dusk pumice]

with a ryzen 3 2200G or a ryzen 5 2400G, you can make nvidia work with a freesync monitor, but don't get those processors just to use freesync with your nvidia card. that will severely limit you in the core/thread count and available clockspeeds of your processor for very little gain.

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock I'm planning to get a new laptop next year. Suggest me the best gaming one

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift Build a pc instead if you can

[tawny path]

^

[gleaming rock]

@dusk pumice Will have to take that into account

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock I need portability dude

I'm aiming for around 1500usd

Suggest the best

[gleaming rock]

Not sure then as I am mostly upto building a personal rig

Acer and Razer makes some reliable ones

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice you got any ideas?

@gleaming rock What about Asus? The rog series

[gleaming rock]

I don't really recommend that myself
The Non-gaming laptops they build are okay but don't like their gaming ones

[dusk pumice]

i'd suggest building one in a mini itx case, gluing a monitor and a ups to it, and calling it a day, personally, lol. sorry, i have no input on laptops.

[peak swift]

Omen?

[gleaming rock]

Yeah a portable monitor can be used here

[peak swift]

Actually I'll get into a college next year

[tawny path]

yeah portable pc box is best

[peak swift]

So im gonna need a powerful laptop

So portability is must

[tawny path]

if you will buy next year then consider next year from the new hardware that will be available by then,
one can only suggest whats best for now , not in one year from now

[dusk pumice]

sorry, i'm all in on the midtower design, i have no input on laptops.

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift Let me give you an Idea on what to buy
Make sure the processor is not U or Y series <Pick ones like K series or X series>
Make sure it has at least two slots for ram
Make sure it has a decent cooling
Make sure it has a CD reader <so you can switch it out for an extra SSD/HDD>

[peak swift]

K or x series okay I'll keep it in mind

[gleaming rock]

Check this for more info

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock thanks I'll look for all these before getting anything

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift Haven't added the X series to the list but not sure if they're available for laptops

[dusk pumice]

big note on k/x and u/y: the former perform really well, but battery life will be a joke; the latter have amazing battery life, but you'll have to sacrifice performance heavily

[peak swift]

I suppose plugging in my laptop won't be a problem. :-P

[gleaming rock]

Not gonna lie but never saw an H series or E series processor myself in my entire life

[peak swift]

So currently I have is ultra low power lol

What's ecc memory

[dusk pumice]

honestly, i don't advocate for either, when it comes to laptops.

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock what's ecc

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift

ECC stands for "error correcting code." Like parity memory, ECC memory detects and reports memory errors. However, while parity can only detect errors, ECC can actually correct errors without interrupting the other operations of your system.

If you do not see an option for ECC memory when searching for your memory upgrade, your system most likely has non-ECC memory installed and will not support ECC memory. In this case, you should upgrade your system with non-ECC memory (standard).

If your system has ECC memory, you should choose the upgrade option with "w/ECC". If you determine that your system is using non-ECC (standard) memory, you should select the upgrade without ECC in the description.

There is a slight decrease in performance, but it's usually approximately 3-4% on PC133 CAS2 ECC SDRAM insignificant since 3% is barely within the margin of error on benchmarks

ECC more expensive than Non-ECC, but not all motherboards support ECC ram. check with your Motherboard manufacturer before purchasing Ecc Memory. It's often used in high end systems, or servers.

[gleaming rock]

^^^

[tawny path]

I dont advocate laptops , rather advocate spending money on small monitor , and a small keyboard mouse , a portable cpu box and a mobile wifi router. @peak swift

[dusk pumice]

yeah, you're going to find that we're all power users here, unfortunately

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice you got all the information🔥🔥

[dusk pumice]

actually, i googled

[tawny path]

my point of argument is ,
with a little bit less portability , we get to upgrade the hardware one by one as per choice @peak swift

[peak swift]

I know. Just can't afford less portability rn

Probably after getting a joh

Job

I'll build the best custom pc like ever

[gleaming rock]

In short ECC is not for gaming but for servers

[peak swift]

I also googled 😂

Yeah. I read about ecc

On Wikipedia

Lengthy article

[tawny path]

welp , strong laptop will be heavy

[peak swift]

The one I got rn. It's decent like it's light. And can run tgb😂.

[dusk pumice]

well...ecc performance hit will probably not be noticed in gaming, and the added error correction ability will probably help with avoiding crashes due to memory errors

[peak swift]

Just the thing that's wrong in it is that hp added touchscreen to it

[still wyvern]

@gleaming rock @dusk pumice My pc specs intel i7-8700k, GTX 1080Ti, 16GB ram, Full Hd monitor

[peak swift]

Instead of a dedicated graphics

[still wyvern]

What's the best setting

I want to try out the best ever settings possible

Max settings probably 😊

[gleaming rock]

@still wyvern 4 cores,
4gb ram
Resolution: <depends on what you want> <maybe use 2k which is 2560x1440>
DPI: check pinned messages
Turn off these settings
"Render Cache" and "Enforce Global Render Cache"

[dusk pumice]

@gleaming rock full hd = 1080p

[still wyvern]

Noted dude, these are the maxed settings?

[dusk pumice]

honestly, no need to turn off render cache, imo

[still wyvern]

And i hate the ping issues ofc 👀

[dusk pumice]

he has top of the line from last year

[gleaming rock]

Yeah I know
Not sure if true but someone told me that any resolution beyond 2k are upscaled similar to checkerboarding or reconstrution

[still wyvern]

Thanks for the help guys 😘😘

[dusk pumice]

frankly, turning them off will probably hurt performance in his case

[still wyvern]

😳

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock why you say render cache and enforce global render cache off??

[dusk pumice]

also, @still wyvern , ingame don't go above balanced graphics, but you can max out the frame rate. i'd disable antialiasing and the automatic graphics adjust. the former is your choice, the latter is a must

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift That's a long discussion I had with DaveWuk and TragicLogin

[dusk pumice]

even though your system can probably handle the highest graphics, balanced and below give you a competitive advantage: no shadows

[peak swift]

So in short turn off these get more FPS @gleaming rock

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift depends on your system. in some cases, it will give more fps, in others less

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift Not entirely true
Let me ask first which one is more preferable
60fps with stutters as low as 20
or 45 fps with stutters as low as 38

[dusk pumice]

trial and error are probably your best bet

[peak swift]

Of course 38 I'm FPS guy no need for graphic and ultra high details on FPS games

[dusk pumice]

well, the average in the latter case will be less

but the minimum will be above console quality

[tawny path]

hey please check #discord ?
i reported a troll guy disturbing in music channel

[peak swift]

Yaa I got Xbox but still 30 fps not good for me @dusk pumice

[dusk pumice]

whereas with the former, the average will be great, but at times it will seem to freeze up, relatively speaking

[peak swift]

Btw I play sahnok map a lot but every time I get dynamic weather why it so

[dusk pumice]

in the latter case, even though you won't reach 60 fps, you will have a generally more consistent experience

[gleaming rock]

Yeah
Enabling the render cache settings basically makes the emulator focus on the premade cache files giving you a higher maximum framerate
As it's heavily dependent on those files, it can sometimes get very taxing when it doesn't find a certain type "Shader" on a certain situation
Disabling it makes it create shader cache from the ground up every time you start the game, which is demanding performance wise but can be quite steady as it can be more smoother with the cost of a max framerate

[peak swift]

Yaa on FPS games FPS matters

@gleaming rock but it's works completely when you see each section of map when new location comes it's will drop frames right ???

[gleaming rock]

Yes like that
If you understand it correctly

[peak swift]

Cache generally work like that most of the time

[gleaming rock]

The problem is that TGB isn't really good at handling precached shaders like many other emulators do like Cemu or Yuzu

[peak swift]

My frnd got iOS and I got Android phone soo why he's game load way faster than me considering I got 8 gb ram

[gleaming rock]

Ram doesn't affect game loading times

Loading times are heavily depended on your storage drive speed

Also 8gb ram on a phone and 8gb ram on a pc is way different from each other

[tawny path]

i wonder what is gddr3 vs ddr3
can we get gddr3 ram too?

i sound dumb xD

[dusk pumice]

that's a good summary, phil, of the difference that render cache makes. thing is, how noticeable the difference is largely depends on the gpu in question(assuming the same resolution). with a 1080 ti, render cache or no render cache, it will easily keep a constant 60 fps(since the max frame rate is capped at 60 anyway). if anything, the bottleneck will be the cpu(frankly, ryzen is better for this than intel, even top of the line intel)

@tawny path techquickie has a video on the subject. glossing over the whole, gddr3 is optimized for graphics rendering and would be terrible as system ram. likewise, ddr3 will be terrible as vram.

[peak swift]

🤔

[fiery compass]

@peak swift that's because iOS processor is way faster than Android

[gleaming rock]

@dusk pumice Yeah kind of similar since the frametime will be much lower on a higher end rig,
The performance drops won't be that noticable

@fiery compass True but not entirely as well

[tawny path]

ooh @dusk pumice okay 😮 they are all different i see , i should read more about them before asking questions

is snapdragon slower than ios processor?

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock I was thinking. Here in my country getting a PC built is gonna be way too much costly

@tawny path the current SD 845 can't compete to the A12

So yeah

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift FACT: In any country building a pc is way cheaper than buying a prebuilt rig <like a laptop or a pc>

[peak swift]

Actually it might be. But in my city there is no one who can build a working PC that goes error free

My dad got a PC built

And i tell you in just 1 year it's not even booting

The person put ddr2 ram

Which is not even available!

[gleaming rock]

Wow,

[peak swift]

It's got cor2duo

We purchased windows 10 for 11k

For that pc

Waste of good money

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift 11k on what currency?

[peak swift]

Indian rupees

155 Dollar

Aproxx

[gleaming rock]

Seems overpriced for windows

[peak swift]

Microsoft sucks 😂

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift well...all you need is some knowledge of what components to buy. doing a frankenstein build will usually not be worth it

[peak swift]

But the only people who make usable things

@dusk pumice you suggest I buy everything

Piece by piece

And get someone to assemble it?

[dusk pumice]

like yourself, yes. it's just like legos, if you follow the included manuals(and watch a few videos on properly building a pc. not by the verge)

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice you suggest I build it myself

I've done some harware things

But not this complex

I've opened old desktops

[fiery compass]

@tawny path depends the iPhone X processor is better than OnePlus 6T's Snapdragon price.

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift it's not complex. i was scared before building my first pc too. but it really is just like putting legos together.

[fiery compass]

iPhone 6S can match almost all budget phones under 15,000. Except for the October + models

[tawny path]

since when is iphone a budget phone , makes no sense

[gleaming rock]

I have sworn to never buy any apple products again
after what happened the last time

[vagrant bay]

In India, the electronic products got 25%+ tax if u will buy them

Ez example

Xbox one x costs 400$ in other countries, in India it is somewhere around 700$

Same goes with the ps4 pro

The difference is only of 10-20$

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice Ive never got Legos 😂. But I'll think about it

[vagrant bay]

A rtx 2080ti costs 1200$ in some countries, in India it is 2K+dollars

[gleaming rock]

@vagrant bay That looks like 200% tax not 25%

[vagrant bay]

@gleaming rock true though xD

See that rtx 2080ti example

Didn't you got your jaw dropped?

Pay 2k dollars for a 1200$ thing

9980XE costs somewhere more than 3k dollars

[gleaming rock]

Damn the tax system here fortunately isn't that terrible

[vagrant bay]

@gleaming rock u r lucky

I asked my friend for a laptop, he told it is somewhere around 400$, same as mine, in India I bought it for 650$ SMH

[gleaming rock]

We here got a Galax RTX 2080 for approximately $1000

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift as long as you follow a reputable video guide on building pcs, like the hour long one from bitwit on youtube, and as long as you read the manuals, it's literally just plug and play, with a little bit of screwing around involved(pun totally intended)

just don't take advice from the verge

[pale perch]

LD player or Nox

[gleaming rock]

LD player

[pale perch]

Ld player or tgb

And btw ld player can be used in 2gb ram?

[gleaming rock]

TGB

Not sure if LD player supports 2gb
I myself have an 8gb rig so didn't have the chance to check

[pale perch]

Ok

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice reputable videos 1 hour long only

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift well no. most are more like 15-20 minutes. bitwit's is just more long winded. basically any build video from a techtuber channel is reputable, except the verge. they don't know anything about how to properly build a computer.

[summer ore]

Im still getting "100% cpu usage issue fix" msg 🤔

[dusk pumice]

you know there's a checkbox to make it stop appearing

[peak swift]

@summer ore same here

[summer ore]

How I know its updated @dusk pumice?

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice except the verge okayy

[peak swift]

@dusk pumice How can I proof to tencent that I'm not using a cracked version of pubg?

I got banned yesterday for "using a cracked version of pubg" but I wasn't

@regal swan @open moth @rain epoch @floral maple

[rain epoch]

Not sure

[pale perch]

I saw a lot of guys using the bug that let's you go thought wall using a throwable in low toss

Is it fixed yet?

[peak swift]

@rain epoch I stream pubgm on youtube but last time I streamed was 3 weeks ago.

I send them the link idk if that will be useful

[rain epoch]

Probably not, wait for a reply from them.

[peak swift]

I can't wait.... I literally bought the royale pass, and now it's going to waste lol

[pale perch]

So the bug I said is fixed? If no, fix it soon many started using it

[peak swift]

tencent support is so trash

[pale perch]

Hmm.. This is emulator support not tencent support

[pale perch]

WHY????? prntscr.com/lmvfst

People were able to play in ld player

But not me?

It says your device is not supported at the moment

Then how others can play?

Any settings I have to change to play?

Ld player said that my opengl version is too low, is that the cause?

[pale perch]

@gleaming rock you help cuz I hope you know very well about ld player, no one helps me

[peak swift]

@pale perch Nobody on LDplayer can play

[pale perch]

What????

Why @peak swift

[peak swift]

idk

Everyone who played on LDPlayer got banned

@pale perch

[pale perch]

Wtf

I logged in with my fb now what to do @peak swift

[peak swift]

idk

[pale perch]

So I am banned now?

[peak swift]

It seems like they aren't unbanning people too. They're basically saying "wait until the deadline and then you can play again" lmfao

[pale perch]

If I knew this, I wouldn't have logined

[peak swift]

oh boy, I'm gonna be calling my bank asap if they send me that

[pale perch]

What

[peak swift]

bro shut up

[pale perch]

So its a ban that is based on time?

[peak swift]

YOU aren't BANNED

shut up

[pale perch]

K

I'll uninstall it

I can't play in it right

@peak swift how you know these

@peak swift ??

[pale perch]

So no one can play in ld player? Then I have to uninstall it?

[willow pelican]

How long it takes for them to reply in support

[keen reef]

@willow pelican 1 day or 2 maybe

[willow pelican]

Lol so long

[next breach]

👀

[peak swift]

Is it possible to delete or reset id

[willow pelican]

They are banning the people who are using octopus or any app similar to octopus

So play safe

[peak swift]

You mean in game id, @peak swift?

[peak swift]

Yaa @peak swift

There is no way to change id, @peak swift.

I don't want Change id I mean to reset all tires rp level and all @peak swift

You cant do it, @peak swift.

[peak swift]

Wt about Bluetooth gamepad ??

R they banning using GamePad also

[vagrant bay]

So phoenix OS players will get banned too?

[keen reef]

@vagrant bay not sure

I think

Not

[peak swift]

Key mapping help?

[vagrant bay]

@peak swift TGB?

[peak swift]

Only normal 720p working

Mouse on/off doesn’t works on any other setting

@vagrant bay Yup

Is this what you looking for,@peak swift?

Yup But I have a very specific problem

@peak swift The mouse on/off button doesn’t works if I change the resolution to anything other than 720 normal

& 720 doesn’t have all the keys

@gleaming rock ↑

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift What's your IN-Game resolution and your layout resolution

[neat sedge]

@peak swift your in game and keymap resolutions need to match. Doesn't necessarily need to be your monitor resolution but for most people it will be.

So if you have a 720p monitor set game resolution to 720p and load the 720p keymap template. Then hit "reset" and save it again.

FWIW I play with 2k in game resolution and the 2k template, but I only have a 1080p monitor. Gives me a nice smoothing effect without using the built in antialiasing.

another thing to point out - there are two keys to engage/disenage the mouse pointer - ' and CTRL, I can use both

oh - and you must reset the in game controls to default as well

[vagrant bay]

@neat sedge my windows store doesnt opens

[neat sedge]

@vagrant bay I don't see how that's relevant to TCGB....

[vagrant bay]

@neat sedge thats why I told u that day that I want u to DM

But u said I don't have any friends

[peak swift]

Game settings

[neat sedge]

no I said I didn't have any discord friends - I have that featured turned off, and the DM feature too

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift Check pinned messages and set the DPI accordingly
In this case use 480

[neat sedge]

@peak swift you have resolution set to 1080p, so use the 1080p template in game

[vagrant bay]

Hmm

[neat sedge]

@peak swift reset the 1080p template in the emulator, and reset your controls in game

what is your monitor resolution?

[peak swift]

1920*1080

[neat sedge]

so you should be fine, so long as your templates and controls are on the default it should all work

there's a possibility that it might not pick up the ' key in certain regional layouts, which is why they changed it to CTRL but both should work in game

[gleaming rock]

Also wanted to ask if anyone got banned til January 24th with a warning that says
"Using Cracked Version"

[peak swift]

Let’s see

@neat sedge

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock had a couple pass through yesterday. Someone who said they had contact with the dev team was also asking.

[gleaming rock]

We need their ID
To verify the problem

@pale perch Did you get get banned for no reason?

@peak swift You as well dude

[neat sedge]

@peak swift was one of the banned users

I think @pale perch was just a bit confused

[gleaming rock]

Still worth asking

[neat sedge]

you never know, maybe LDplayer injects files

or alters configs

[peak swift]

@gleaming rock you work for pubg?

[neat sedge]

I know memu can alter the ingame resolution - maybe that is done with a config edit, which could be bannable

you just don't know

[gleaming rock]

No but I know people who can help

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock its about time you were put in touch with them 😃

[gleaming rock]

Not in touch with them directly but kay

[neat sedge]

I mean, its a positive step seeing as you are at the coal face day in day out whereas they don't even show their faces here

[gleaming rock]

That's true
I suppose

Ping me if anyone here needs me

[neat sedge]

I'll hang about for a bit, not got much on today

I did want to know something though - who suffers from echo in the voice chat? this has really been bugging me

seems to be worse in squad

[elder crown]

@gleaming rock Got both 1080 to work

[gleaming rock]

Cool

How does it perform

[elder crown]

But only 1 is utilised for pubg mobile

[peak swift]

Mine is still not working

It’s frustrating

[gleaming rock]

Yeah cause it's mostly cpu dependent @elder crown

[elder crown]

Even pubg pc gives load 30% and 20% to both

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift Error 1?

@elder crown How's the temp?
And what cooling methods do you use for the gpu's?

[elder crown]

Time to get a Threadripper (maybe next month 2950x)

Temp is around 60 to 50

[peak swift]

Same thing I discussed with you a month ago

[gleaming rock]

Seems okay for an SLI tho @elder crown

[elder crown]

Its good fans barely run

[neat sedge]

@peak swift did you follow all the steps I said? reset everything to the defaults, make sure resolution is correct in game & template?

[elder crown]

Both cards a closely placed so there will be some rise in temp

[peak swift]

Yup everything as you said

[gleaming rock]

@peak swift I haven't found the answer myself dude
Been looking everywhere
Got few more people who still has this problem

[neat sedge]

@peak swift and what was the exact result? what are you trying to do that isn't working?

[elder crown]

K phil 1 more question

Does pubg uses more cores with clock speed. Or more on single core performance.

Simply Asking AMD OR INTEL 😂

@gleaming rock

[peak swift]

When I start the game & try to lock the mouse it doesn’t works @neat sedge

[gleaming rock]

@elder crown Since it's an emulator
It mostly focuses on more cores
So AMD mostly

[peak swift]

So I can’t move

[neat sedge]

@peak swift are you sure the window has focus?

[elder crown]

Yay coz if you said intel

[neat sedge]

press F11 to maximise the window, and then click on the screen somewhere empty

[elder crown]

Id have to build a new pc

[neat sedge]

do you see the yellow mouse cursor or a white one @peak swift

[elder crown]

K thanks

[peak swift]

It’s reddish yellow something

@neat sedge

[neat sedge]

@peak swift and what key on your keyboard are you pressing to go in and out of mouse mode?

[peak swift]

Control

@neat sedge

[neat sedge]

and you're saying that when the keyboard layout is 720p it works but not in any other mode?

[peak swift]

Normal 720p works Smart 720p & above doesn’t works

@neat sedge

[neat sedge]

you should definitely use smart mode

all I can suggest to do is to clear out the keymaps and force them to redownload as they might be messed up

have you backed up your in-game account to a social network?

[peak swift]

Yup

I reinstalled the game twice

Didn’t worked

[neat sedge]

did you delete the temporary folder contents?

[peak swift]

Second last update messed it up before that it was fine

Nope

[neat sedge]

@peak swift yes but you have to understand that for millions of other players it didn't

the emulator uses a shared folder to pass files to the android OS running inside the emulator

[peak swift]

@neat sedge Ok

[neat sedge]

if you open Tencent Gaming Buddy without the game running, click the drop down menu in the corner and choose "diagnose" you will see the path to your"SD card" folder, which is actually this temporary folder

delete the files in this folder (it will be called TxGameDownload)

and restart Tencent Gaming Buddy

[peak swift]

I do cleared the cache

[neat sedge]

not the cache, the temporary folder

different

[peak swift]

@neat sedge Okay will try this thanks

[neat sedge]

Unfortunately I can't offer any guarantees that it will work but at least it will force it to redownload the keymap. Problem is, the emulator has multiple copies of the keymap all over the place.

you could also try hunting down and deleting any copies of DefaultKeyMapping.xml that you can find

[neat sedge]

still looking for other people who are having issues with echoing in the voice chat or is it just me lol

[dusk pumice]

@elder crown emulation loves threads. even though games usually love ipc more than threads, pubg mobile on pc benefits from having extra cores more. as long as the cpu is around 3-4 ghz and relatively modern, ipc will not matter as much as threads.

[neat sedge]

@dusk pumice yeah I think its fair to say the emulator needs a modern 3ghz quad core to hit a consistent 60fps

maybe even slightly faster - my laptop will clock up to 3.1ghz and gets around 55fps in game (i5 7300HQ)

[dusk pumice]

isn't the 7300hq with a lower tdp than its desktop counterpart?

[neat sedge]

@dusk pumice yes but it doesn't throttle back

so it really is hitting its peak performance, can't go higher

[dusk pumice]

at the same clock speed, that is

[neat sedge]

I have to say, I don't know how to compare perf between a desktop 3ghz part and a laptop 3ghz part

I would say so long as the mobile CPU isn't throttled, it should be the same but I might be wrong

[dusk pumice]

I have a ryzen 5 1500x running usually about 3 ghz and I'm easily staying at 58-60 most of the time.

[neat sedge]

my desktop i5 6600k is the same - never shows the full 60fps using the in game FPS meter

always 57-58

but with only 30% CPU usage and 20% GPU usage

I think its a combination of a poorly coded frame rate limiter and a poorly coded FPS meter

[swift oriole]

I have i5 processor and 1gb intel graphics still i get 50fps in balanced mode 👀

[gleaming rock]

@swift oriole Emulators mostly depend in CPU and ram so that kinda makes sense

[swift oriole]

Ohh

But buildings load slowly

I have 4gb ram

Potato pc

[gleaming rock]

Loading mostly depends on Hard Drive speeds but not sure what it depends on in an emulator

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock same probably because the emulator stores its files directly on the drive, not in any kind of container like a virtual disk file

so file access in TCGB faster than in vmware/virtualbox

[gleaming rock]

That maybe true aswell

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock if you look at the files in AOW_Rootfs, although they don't have file extensions the files are directly readable

the file extensions, folder structure and other meta data are stored in an index file and then the data parts are stored in indexed folders

it looks to be all designed for fast access

bit like the old MacOS filesystem

[gleaming rock]

Yeah I saw that
they don't have describable names as well just numbers with some letters arranged in alphabetical order

I expected them to at least be in a .bin file

[neat sedge]

yes that's because (I assume) there is a master index

that tells the emulator where emulated file -> physical file lives

also because android file attributes don't map to windows they need to store meta data somewhere too

it seems pretty straightforward from my point of view as a software developer

android emulator asks to open file -> emulator checks index and permissions -> if OK finds where file is on index -> opens the physical file and streams contents into memory

the index is set up to access the files quickly which is why they're stored in numbered folders with numbered filenames

and also, perhaps, to obfuscate the emulated folder/file structure and stop people messing with it

[gleaming rock]

I remember when I used to open some game files by changing the extensions to .zip
and then changed the texture to some stuff like character models

[neat sedge]

ye

you can do that with the emullated file system - find the biggest file in AOW_Rootfs and make a copy of it

[gleaming rock]

Worked in older games but not in the new ones

[neat sedge]

change the extension to ".zip" and you will see that it is the APK file for the game

[gleaming rock]

I had the most fun changing files for Roadrash

[neat sedge]

for me the file is D:\Games\Emulators\TCGB\AOW_Rootfs\57\15f07

it is 1.47gb in size

oh look, its an APK file

[peak swift]

@neat sedge why the server are so slow any idea ?? To download the 1.4 gb file

[neat sedge]

@peak swift most likely to save on bandwidth and servers

to rapidly serve millions of customers worldwide they'd need edge servers everywhere on high bandwidth connections

[gleaming rock]

A wild APK file appeared
Open Bag
change the extension to .zip potion
Use
Done
Wild APK file fainted

[neat sedge]

think akamai edge servers

anyway tencent too tight to pay for good servers and bandwidth

lol @gleaming rock

@gleaming rock because you're a clever guy, you should notice already that this APK is different to the google play version

[gleaming rock]

yeah I know

[neat sedge]

it is 1.5gb in size, whereas the Google Play version is way smaller

all the assets are in the OBB file

also, something interesting - look in the libs folder, there is only arm libs, no x86

if they build a special version of the APK for the emulator (and maybe other non-google play platforms)

they could build an x86 version for emulators to make it faster

but then, having said that, there are a lot of 3rd party libs in there like cloudvoice, they might not have the source or the devs might not publish an x86 android version

because, as you know, there is no such thing as x86 android these days except for emulators

[nocturne isle]

Do emulator players match with mobile players randomly in classic match?

[neat sedge]

@nocturne isle no

[nocturne isle]

They match with emulator players only?

[neat sedge]

@nocturne isle its a little more complicated than that

there are a number of ways in that mobile players can willingly join onto an emulator team but in short, they have to be invited and have to accept the invite

there's no way a mobile player can be involuntarily matched into a game with emulator players

though they might not know necessarily that the person they are accepting an invite from (or sending an invite to) are playing on a emulator

but as soon as at least one person in your team is playing on an emulator, you will be matched against other opposing teams with at least one emulator user on those teams

[nocturne isle]

Ohh thx

[neat sedge]

NP

[peak swift]

Dave u have any idea how they make 1.5gb file and playstore have APK and obb @neat sedge

[neat sedge]

@peak swift packaging up a game for deployment via an appstore is a specialist subject I'm afraid, I don't know a lot about it

suffice to say, TCGB doesn't use the play store, so it can't download OBB files

[true oxide]

i also

[peak swift]

The files of pubgm is located inside of vm folders. "system" and "data".

[dusk pumice]

dave, why do you keep calling it tcgb when everyone else uses TGB? it's a bit confusing. even I have to keep reminding myself that you mean TGB, lol

[pale perch]

@gleaming rock no I didn't get banned for using LD player

It said your device is not supported in LD player

So I asked here why it said that

Someone said that it's cuz no one can play in ldplayer

And everyone who plays in it gets banned

So I asked whether I am banned for loginning with my fb account

But really no one in LD player can play?

[dusk pumice]

@pale perch is that the emulator telling you that your device is not supported or is it pubg mobile saying that the emulator is not supported?

[peak swift]

hey guys i am facing a problem with tencent gaming buddy .....when i am installing the setup it shows up a mesaage which shows component id 7 and error code 15 plz tell what to do

please help

[dusk pumice]

you can join the tgb telegram group and ask there. that's a new one, and we don't have a list of what all of the possible error codes mean, yet

[peak swift]

ok bro send me telegram link

[dusk pumice]

it will be a little while before you get a response from the tgb devs on telegram, it's nighttime for them atm

will dm you in a few, @peak swift, looking for it

[peak swift]

bro thanks

[pale perch]

Pubg says device isn't supported

[peak swift]

@pale perch if you are using bluestacks or any other emulator except tgb try to allot more ram to your emulator

[pale perch]

I used nox, I set 2 cores, 1024mb

Now for LD player too, I user the same settings

[peak swift]

Is any one notice this bug after getting chicken dinner#1 rank game screen freeze and forced closed automatically

u need at least 3072 mb

[pale perch]

Nah

It is for tgb

[peak swift]

@peak swift 3072 of ram ??

yeah bro or try to allot 2048 mb

[pale perch]

Tgb won't install if I don't have 3 gb

I have just 2 GB ram

What about 1.5gb

[peak swift]

bro you need to have a pc with at least 4gb of ram

otherwise it wont run properly

[sharp bramble]

even for phone pubg mobile you need more than 2gb of ram

if im not wrong

[peak swift]

@sharp bramble u r right

[pale perch]

I get some lags but its ok

I need LD player to run somehow cuz its better than nox

[peak swift]

try to increase ur ram

[pale perch]

@sharp bramble but I have 2gb ram and used nox with 1024 mb ram it still let me play

[peak swift]

bro now i cant help u with ur problem

bcoz i am also in a small problem

[pale perch]

Ok so its just low mb of ram you say?

Not cuz of they banned LD player so no one can use it?

[peak swift]

u just need more ram for it

r u from india

[pale perch]

Yes

[dusk pumice]

@peak swift link sent

[peak swift]

ha bhai to sun ......mai bhi tgb chalaya karta tha jab mere paas 4gb ram thi...par bhai bahut lag karta tha....ab 6gb ram ho gyi to ab install nhi ho rha hai

[pale perch]

People can use LD player right? Cuz someone said no one can anymore and they started banning players who used LD player

@peak swift I said I'm Indian it doesn't mean I know Hindi

[peak swift]

ok

[dusk pumice]

please use English only, except in the designated language channels

[peak swift]

translate my sentence bcoz i am not going to type it again

[dusk pumice]

it's our rules

[pale perch]

K I have just 1 question left

[peak swift]

ok @dusk pumice

[pale perch]

I can play in LD player or no? I mean they didn't ban LD player right

[peak swift]

what is LD

[pale perch]

It is an emulator

[dusk pumice]

AFAIK, no, it isn't banned. but the jury is still out on what's going on. tencent has decided to look into the bans situation, which seems to affect more than just this specific emulator

[pale perch]

Why

Does it make things easier to play that gains an unfair advantage over others?

[dusk pumice]

reread my message

[pale perch]

What is afaik

[dusk pumice]

short for As Far As I Know

[pale perch]

Ok

But tgb will be forever?

[dusk pumice]

huh??

[pale perch]

How can I know that tencent has banned these emulators one day

[dusk pumice]

how can I make it clearer? no, ld player is not banned, AFAIK. thing is, the sudden ban for using a cracked version of pubg mobile is not something that's happening only to people who are using ld player. tencent has decided to look into it, but I don't have a status update on how the investigation is going.

[pale perch]

Ok

[dusk pumice]

for the moment, your worry about the possibility of banning emulators isn't really constructive in any way. if any emulators do get banned, people will find out about it the hard way, most likely. just put it from your mind, for now.

[pale perch]

Accounts won't be banned right

That's what I don't want to happen

[neat sedge]

@dusk pumice to a native english speaker TGB sounds blunt. TCGB (TenCent Gaming Buddy) has a better rhythm. You are of course free to call it whatever you want that sounds good to you in your language.

@peak swift are you the guy who thinks that TCGB is based on LDplayer?

[dusk pumice]

dude, I'm English too. and as far as I'm concerned, tencent here is one word, not two.

[neat sedge]

@dusk pumice you are, of course, free to say things how you like my dear chap

it's a funny thing to pick up on

[dusk pumice]

thing is, it's usually better to stick with the community chosen abbreviation, to avoid confusion, even if you think your way is better.

[neat sedge]

nah, I'm not going to do that

[dusk pumice]

people will just be confused and have to spend mental resources trying to figure out what you mean

[neat sedge]

as I say, its a funny think to pick up on. You'd think that people would listen to me for my technical expertise.

I used to know a guy (another photographer) who used to say "megapixELLs" instead of "megapixels" which used to wind me up though so I see where you are coming from

Tell you what, I'll try and change it when you are around if it really makes that much of a difference to you.

even though it sounds ridiculous to me

[dusk pumice]

fair enough. who knows, with practice it might even become second nature to you, lol

[neat sedge]

I was just making tea and thinking "Tencent Gaming Buddy" and then "TGB"...it just sounds wrong

but whatever

[wheat hollow]

Hmm

@quick arrow

[crimson pulsar]

server is not responding error

i how to fix it

?

[fast lagoon]

@crimson pulsar may be you internet, if youre using a vpn or servers are down in your region

Okay so I've been having this issue for some time and its kind of annoying to me look

With OpenGL+ the game freezes every so often for a second but also properly renders the darkened background for popups and the grid lines in menus

With OpenGL, DirectX, and DirectX+ it doesn't as you can see from the second picture

Its been happening for months and in those times I've cleared cache, repaired the game, and reinstalled the engine. I hope this issue could be fixed so it'd look nicer in the menus and I can see the pop -ups better

[floral maple]

@fast lagoon This is because your PC likely doesn't support OpenGL+ (which can cause rendering issues).

[fast lagoon]

That may be cause my PC is trash

But can it be fixed for other modes

[floral maple]

Not exactly, all 4 rendering settings are dedicated to different versions of OpenGL and DirectX.

It's best to cycle through all 4 rendering options to see which best performs on your device, but 1 rendering option not rendering correctly is completely normal.

[fast lagoon]

So I guess my only solution is to get updated versions and a GPU that supports OpenGL+

I've tried all modes, OpenGL+ is bad and laggy, but all other modes are good but dont do the menus right

[floral maple]

Then it would be smart to use the other rendering options.

[fast lagoon]

I do. I just a fix for this:

[floral maple]

That's really not much of an issue, you can still exit out of the window.

[fast lagoon]

I can't see this well and the clan weekly rankings too

Thats the issue, its hard to read and popups dont look as nice with the darkened backgrounds

[floral maple]

Not much I can help you out with, the TGB is emulating an android that uses OpenGL+, so using other rendering options on some devices will fail to load the background element (specifically because the pop-ups are newer additions to the game).

[fast lagoon]

Okay thanks for that, hopefully a future engine update would fix this

[gleaming rock]

@fast lagoon As the emulator states
"Open GL is less CPU intensive but also less stable"
And yes the transparency issue where the tinted background of popups is not visible is because it's not supported by Direct X
And Open GL seems to fix this issue almost on all pc's
But as I said earlier it's less stable

How mods are available for pubg mobile it's a server base game tight ??

[rustic jolt]

I have pc with 2 gb ram and 256 mb graphic card can i run Pubg mobile on it?

Any mods ?

[willow pelican]

@rustic jolt you can try

[rustic jolt]

I dont want to waste 1.5 gb of my data and then finding it is incompatible @willow pelican

[willow pelican]

To be frank

TGB is not good for 256mb graphic

And 2 gb ram

So don't waste 1.5 gb

[rustic jolt]

@willow pelican will it work through any other emulator?

[willow pelican]

@rustic jolt you can but be safe in picking the emulator don't try LDplayer

You will be banned

[rustic jolt]

@willow pelican any other emulator like phonex os?

[willow pelican]

Even I use pheonix

But not sure of getting banned

Even I have dought on it

[rustic jolt]

Does it work for 2 gb ram and 256 mb graphic card ?

@willow pelican

[willow pelican]

I don't about it @rustic jolt sorry

@rustic jolt check out YouTube

[peak swift]

Wait what using phoenix os get ban ???? @willow pelican

[willow pelican]

@peak swift even i have dought on it . I have messaged the support about it waiting for there reply

[peak swift]

Okkk bcoz im played on os but like for 5 min

Foreword after u got reply @willow pelican

[fallen crest]

@fast lagoon same problem

[dusk pumice]

@rustic jolt when it comes to playing pubg mobile on pc via emulator, the system requirements in the app store are meaningless. because you're going to be emulating the game, you will need more power from your pc than your phone needs. just focusing on the amount of ram and the graphics card is not going to be enough. even more important than either of those is the processor. emulation is quite demanding of the processor, you will probably need at least 4th generation Intel, and at least a quad-core. while people have been able to make it "work" on older, the experience hasn't been particularly good.

given what you have told us about your computer so far, I'd say that you will not have a very good experience, if you can somehow make it work. unfortunately. I highly recommend saving up some money(about 500-750 usd) and building a pc with current generation ryzen processor. I understand the desire to just use the same pc for a couple of decades, but this game just isn't designed to work on hardware as old as what you have.

[fallen crest]

i only got 1 time name changing card in season 2 ... after that i havnt got any ... how can i get more

[dusk pumice]

you can buy more from the shop

yes, unfortunately, with real money.

or, you can level up your character.

there's a few available for completing the progress missions

[pale perch]

Ld player works only for high end pcs?

@willow pelican ld player gives ban? many says that players using it will be banned

[gleaming rock]

@pale perch That's quite Vague info as many mobile players are also getting banned
It's a new type of bug
if LD player bypasses the emulator detection then yes it makes sense for them to ban it

[pale perch]

So does it bypass?

[gleaming rock]

If anyone got banned by that then contact me or other mods/admins

@pale perch Last time I checked it doesn't bypass
But have to check it again

[sharp bramble]

if im not wrong it doesnt bypass, but for the past few months there was a really common bypass

[pale perch]

So if they get banned, you'll help them to get unbanned?

And I didn't play in it yet

I downloaded ld player, then pubgm

Then started, loggined with my fb

But it said your device is not supported

And ban is account ban or ip ban

[gleaming rock]

I can't but we need the ID for people who got banned by the game
because of "Cracked version of PUBGM" even though they claim they didn't do such thing

[pale perch]

So if I have ID and got banned cuz of ld player you can help?

[gleaming rock]

I'm not a part of the dev team dude

[pale perch]

If anyone got banned by that then contact me or other mods/admins

[gleaming rock]

But I'm told to collect the ID's of the people who got banned because of this specific reason

[pale perch]

Oh

Ok

Anyway I won't be banned right

Cuz I didn't even play in it

[gleaming rock]

Not sure of that myself

[pale perch]

And any other good emulator than nox except tgb

[gleaming rock]

Memu

[pale perch]

I think ld player works only in high end pcs

Memu?

It works for low end pc?

I have 2gb ram and 1gb geforce 210

[gleaming rock]

Not sure but if you can run tgb then you should be able to run memu

[pale perch]

No I can't run tgb

[gleaming rock]

@pale perch But still that is a really low end pc
you might need to do some stuff like using virtual memory and stuff to get a decent performance

[pale perch]

Cuz it says that it need 3gb ram at minimum

Virtual memory still doesn't work well right

And it won't let tgb download anyway

[gleaming rock]

It won't let you download tgb
But there's no such restrictions on Memu as far as I can tell

[pale perch]

Do you know how much size is memu

And it is better than nox are you sure

I have to uninstall this ld player I guess :/

[gleaming rock]

NOX has a low system requirements but is still garbage

[pale perch]

Btw main thing is vc works in memu?

[gleaming rock]

Not sure

Haven' t tried that as well

@pale perch You know the youtuber named LowSpecGamer?
He ran the game on a GPD win was performing okay

I dunno the spec but was quite "LowSpec"

[pale perch]

GPD?

Yea ik him

What is GPD

Sorry having internet issues

[gleaming rock]

Wait this is what he was running on

@pale perch GPD is like a small portable laptop built for gaming
Can run games from 2008 pretty smooth

[pale perch]

My processor same Ghz

But I have 2gb ram

[gleaming rock]

But the ram is a issue here that's the problem

[pale perch]

Mine is intel i3-3220

Yea

So he was able to run the game very well?

And btw youtubers are allowed to post videos based on using glitches

[gleaming rock]

I'll dm you the video
Skip to the middle of the video

[pale perch]

Is that allowed

[gleaming rock]

What kind of bug
Dm me the video

[pale perch]

Ok wait

[silver plume]

you pass through walls

when throwing grenades

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock that Pentium is pretty quick compared to the i3-3220

hmm, I stand correct. They bench quite similarly, within 10%

[gleaming rock]

Still quite acceptable

[neat sedge]

had a guy on here yesterday with a Pentium and he was getting good frames, might have been a different model

yeah the CPU is OK but 2gb RAM is not enough

@pale perch last time we spoke I recommended that you buy some more RAM as it was really cheap for your PC. Is that really not an option for you?

I found RAM for £16 for you on Ebay - I spent more than that on a pizza on Sunday

if RAM is hard to find or more expensive in your country I understand though

(or if pizza is cheaper lol)

[pale perch]

Of course a pizza is cheaper than 2 gigs of ram here

But the thing is that my parents won't buy me ram if I ask

[neat sedge]

then there isn't a lot we can do even if you come here every day and ask the same questions

[pale perch]

I didn't ask the same question

I asked what else would be good compared to nox other than tgb and ld player

[neat sedge]

@pale perch which is the same question you asked a few days ago, I remember

as well as a hundred questions about getting banned

[pale perch]

I asked yesterday or day before yesterday whether or not ld player better than nox

Yea about getting banned yea cuz I saw another guy today saying don't use ld player you'll be banned to someone

[neat sedge]

yeah but see, the answer hasn't changed

you don't have enough ram to run any kind of android emulator

it doesn't matter if you might get banned for using nox, ldplayer, memu - they all need more ram than you have

[pale perch]

Nox doesn't need more than mine

I can run it but with some lags

[neat sedge]

@pale perch and did it run well in Nox?

[pale perch]

And memu needs more than 2?

[neat sedge]

they all do, realistically, even if they don't enforce it

windows itself needs 2gb ram

but even then you will be hitting your swap file like crazy, killing your performance

I cannot imagine running windows on any device with less than 4gb RAM and actually using it for anything productive

that applies to the 32bit version of Windows 7 even

though I'm sure it "supports" 2gb RAM, whether or not it would be adequate to use would be a different matter

so you have that first against you and then you want to run a CPU intensive, RAM intensive, GPU intensive emulator on top

it isn't going to be a good experience

[gleaming rock]

@neat sedge For some reason steam is not showing all the free to play games on my library but only the paid ones
You know why?

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock did you change the library filter?

[gleaming rock]

I did but still

[dusk pumice]

@pale perch i hate to say it, but i'm with dave here. your pc just doesn't have the resources to deliver a good experience for anyhting other than some word processing/spreadsheets/powerpoint presentations or maybe a bit of youtube. you can maybe play games like solitaire and minesweeper, but you certainly don't have the resources for any game that came out in the last 3 years.

[pale perch]

Ok

[neat sedge]

@gleaming rock I don't see any difference in steam here I'm sorry to say. Can't think what the problem might be unless you've just filtered those games out of the list somehow.

[pale perch]

I tried 400*300 in nox with 150 DPI which is a $hit quality I know but for playing game in that resolution gives me ban?

[dusk pumice]

...is your account banned?

[pale perch]

No

Just asking

Else I may get banned

I didn't use gfx tool, I just made the resolution less

[dusk pumice]

i think you're too concerned with the possibility of getting banned. as long as you don't try to cheat and as long as you don't mess with the game's settings files(except through the game itself), you'll be fine.

[pale perch]

But using gfx tool to reduce/increase graphics gives ban

So I'm doing the same but without using gfx tool

[dusk pumice]

if you're using any method of reducing the graphics that is not found within the game settings itself, you run the risk of a ban.

[pale perch]

Wait reducing resolution comes into that category?

[dusk pumice]

if you are reducing the resolution by changing the game's files, yes

[pale perch]

No but I'm reducing with the settings of nox

So I won't get banned right

[dusk pumice]

if it's the settings of the emulator itself, you're fine

[pale perch]

Ok thanks

[dusk pumice]

the key thing is whether or not you're messing with the game's files. gfx tool messes with those. changing the emulator's resolution doesn't.

[pale perch]

Oh

K

[willow pelican]

@dusk pumice by using pubg in emulator whether it should display emulator detected or not

[dusk pumice]

@willow pelican huh? can you please rephrase that?

[willow pelican]

When we open pubg in emulator

Other than TGB

Whether we should get a message that

Emulator detected ........ so on or not

[dusk pumice]

yes, you should get that message. if you don't, you run the risk of being banned

[vagrant bay]

Why don't they just give us the optimal settings then?
