I get about less 20 fps. My main computer's motherboard went out so im on the laptop with a Radeon X1300 :p . dxlevel 8 and 640 x 480 with all settings on low. Sad thing is that im still playing good. I been on the Neowin Server a few times, fun games unless it starts hitting the max number of people them my fps craps out with all the action on screen.

At what ms does the lag start becoming noticeable? I haven't played PC FPS games in years so I have no idea of what is a decent ping anymore.

In most [fps] games it starts to become noticeable at around 80-100ms. And anything above that the enjoyment of a game pretty much starts to disappear imo.

The ping compensation that games like tf2(and others) makes high pings even more difficult to stand. As the constant seeing of hits from shots you know you missed will throw you off a bit.

Also, the building exploits for the engineer have been fixed. So no level 3 mini-sentries for you guys anymore :p

Going back to the ping talk, I don't know how you guys can play with 100 or higher ping......higher than 80 is almost unplayable for me. But, I play lots of soldier and pyro (both suffer from high ping due to no lag compensation on their primary weapons) so too high a ping is definitely noticeable and would require you to aim even farther ahead to be able to hit a target. While I admit that over 80 isn't that bad for hitscan weapons, it is absolutely horrible for projectile-based weapons. I personally try to play on servers with around 40 ping, that way if it does increase a little bit, it generally stays under 60....but the most I will willingly play in is around 80.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
