It has been a steady issue of bad for me for awhile now, but today watching the BF 2 quick look was rough. So i turned off progressive and that seem to help.
look at these to get a sense of how AC:O perform's, also are you doing anything else watching netflix/youtube do you have a lot shit running in the background?
So, i still had time on my free trail and at 6 am my time there sure is a shit load of people playing the MP of a game that no seems to like, and a lot of high lvl star cards and hero's running around.
Its good they are keeping up with hotfixes and not waiting for big patches, but i honestly never experienced the performance bug just the clan roster issue.
I played the shit out D2 on Tuesday (about 14 hours with breaks) and the only place i experienced issues was on titian during my first walker event And that was after a couple of hours of game play. The game has been running butter smooth for me at 1080 with a mix of highest/high settings with a locked 60 FPS.
Well this is what i can say for sure, i use MSI Afterburner and use the OSD rivatuner, (it doesn't work with Destiny 2) i also use discord for all voice chat with my friends, (i don't use overlays) and i am running the fall update for windows 10, and i streamed about 15 mins using windows mixer today. So with that said i have been using OSD in overwatch for a least a year so it might not be just a blizzard anti cheat issue, also i have played at least 12 hours of destiny 2 today and no ban. So this might not mean anything but it does add to the data pool of what could be going on.
I am sad for Amy but if the product isn't working and the company is losing money then decisions need to be made. And to be perfectly honest ever since all the loot box crying begun it still boggles my mind that people think that these corporations owe them anything. They are in business to make money and make as much as possible for as long as possible. And i would bet the farm if any of you were in charge and answerable to profit loss and market loss you would be doing the same things to keep the lights on.
I seriously doubt that EA has any problems keeping the lights on. They're a massive publisher and some of their games make ridiculous amounts of money every year. They aren't struggling. EA had Visceral working on Battlefield Hardline and, if I'm not mistaken, was throwing other things their way instead of just letting them work on the game they want to make.
Also, their reason for shutting down Visceral had nothing to do with them not making EA any money and everything to do with EA looking for something that they can turn into another money-printing machine. EA wants their Overwatch or their Destiny, they want it the same way they wanted their Call of Duty last generation. Visceral was making a good old linear action game, the kind of thing that launches, makes its money, and then disappears into the "price recently dropped" section and then later into the used games stores. And there's nothing wrong with that, not when Bethesda has been putting out precisely these kinds of things for a few years now and never really had a problem.
EA actually does have a developer graveyard, by the way - here's a list. They're known for doing this.
Ok, fine lets assume everything financially for EA is coming up roses. My point still stands they are a business, they are by definition meant to earn a profit on the products they put out to the world. And they have every right to to do that in the way they see fit. I am not saying anyone has to like or agree with their actions but it is super naive to assume because you play video games you know what it takes to manage a corporation the size of EA. (And i don't mean you specifically but you in the general sense) So what if they are chasing the golden goose, what if they catch it? then what? everyone is fuck yea i love EA? Bethesda puts out one game every 6 years you can hardly compare the two, and have you seen quake champions, that shit was paid early access, and loot boxes and four different currencies up the wazoooo.
Also saying they are a massive company and have money to burn is so silly, its like saying "since you made a 100k last year and your neighbour made 75k you could pay his property taxes" no just because you have the money to burn doesn't mean you burn it. You protect it or invest it to increase your value now or in the future.
And my final point is, a lot of us when asked stepped up and started giving money directly to GB to help keep the lights on so to speak. But they are now owned by a massive media company why do we still need to keep paying? These aren't the days of the basement whiskey offices when they were doing their best to grow the company. Yes they are smaller then gamespot but surely CBSi can easily absorb any negative revenue that might be connected to GB. The answer is no, because if GB wants to keep the lights on the have to generate a level of revenue that CBSi has deemed necessary and it will be sad but if GB ever get's to a point where they are consistently missing their revenue goals they could face shut down as well.
