I'll be honest I am bad when it comes to cleaning my Case out as it is a struggle to get to the thing let along the cables that come with it getting unplugged like damn. x3 Monitor Cables, Mouse n Keyboard, Ethernet Cable, Wireless Dongle for Joystick, Usb cable for Graphics Tab, Headset USB power cable etc. I knew it was possibly my AV as my PC and Laptop both where sluggish when it was active, Pc was slow to boot at times and would hang on programs loading at times. Laptop was already slow but when that was installed it was literally a Snail. (Once took an hr just for it to log into my profile). - When I say this the Laptop was WIPED CLEAN the only thing on it was the bloatware it came with and the AV and the bloatware was all disabled for launching during star up. I'm Kind of offended you think I have 4GB of Ram but I don't exactly have a spec list in my thing so eh. My Pc is currently this: Intel i3-4170 Quad Core, 8GB DDR3 Ram (I think ddr3) 750w PSU, A R9 Series Gpu (don't know the specific one) 1TB HDD(Slave/), 1TB HDD(Primary) My primary drive has over 500GB free space while the Slave has 200GB of free space(Game Library). I Swapped storage location for my games when I noticed it was running slower in summer last year after I removed AV software. Swapped the Games onto the Slave Drive and to computer seems to run fine again apart from Display hiccups (Caused by the Curved TV not being on when booting up). So ya I think it was the AV software. TBF is was NORTON

Ya but that's Different. people who make mistakes like the apple dev did showing something that shouldn't have been seen yet is understandable. I'm sorry but EA and all the others ain't like the FBI or security organisations where talking about what you do will get yourself and people not involved in the company in trouble. This goes back why deny someone from talking if you haven't said anything prior. EA could literally use this as their rabbit hole, Have someone else explain what went wrong and then EA can build a story from it that will minimise hate to both companies. My view is EA is protecting someone else, They have no reason to hide info when gamers and others know they have screwed up royally they might as well explain what went wrong IF it was their own fault. So ya in the sense of Gaming companies this is abnormal. They wanna answer question without giving stuff up. "We have a team working on the issue now" , "We are looking into it" , "This hasn't been discussed but will be brought up in the near future". Their is a lot they can say to calm the people who are questioning and but people at ease. This isn't

I'm use to these companys being like this, Activision is just as bad in their own way. So to me everyone making all this drama kinda pisses me off. Yes it is a BIG mistake that EA done but come on give them benefit of the doubt atleast. Activision as Black Ops III and now WWII which are two games heavy on the loot crate system along with them breaking MW Remastered by adding it to that. EA was kinda just following the scheme of things and got bit in the ass for doing so. Ubiso--- sorry OoopsieSoft get haggled for their server maintenance yet they have moved passed it and have Revived Dying titles. RAINBOW SIX Siege got revived and is a high climbing games 3 years after release. Same with The Division, that game don horrible at start and has been brought back round may not be Best ever but it is playable and fun now. My point is from my view all the people complaining and now nit picking at EA are looking for something to bring them down more when they have made One BIG mistake (That I know of)

Tbh @JoostinOnline does kinda have a point. EA haven't came out with any real reason to why they Done what they did with Battlefront 2 and tbh I don't think they will either so why silent DICE one of their big income when EA haven't even put out a statement that would need backed up by Dice. So could be someone else saying so. For all we know peoples hands are tied due to something else happening among EA

But yeah got to remember Bioware are kinda in their element when it comes to open worlds (Mass effect) So I don't doubt they will do well on the exploration of stuff and the story line (If their is one). And Hey now I never pointed you out for not saying your gonna buy it. Just seen a lot of EA hate comments Shouting . "DON'T GIVE INTO EA's GREED DO NOT BUY THIS GAME" which saddens me because I don't want to see Anthem be for nothing even though it sacrificed ME Andromeda to make it happen

If people use this to be negative towards Anthem sorry get ya head out your A**. Any open world game is gonna have some aspect of Micro-transactions, it being getting some materials or cosmetics then ya. Secondly Anthem was made by Bioware so I actually have high hopes that they kept EA's hand out of the cookie jar, So I'm still gonna buy that game more for Bioware than EA. So F all the haters

Absolutly Love/Hate Deadspace. Was a great game but F*** those jump scares at times they where like hey ominous door way *Walks through, Nothing happens* Perfect clean looking hallway (Well clean in terms of Deadspace) three bloody creeps crawl out from the wood work...

Eh if it's the likes of those sports game I don't really care TBH EA's sport titles have always been based on their micro-transactions n boxes anyway so I don't exactly see it being anything new. Even if it was added to their FPS series like Battlefront n Battlefield I don't see them fitting in unless it was added to the SW Battlefront 2 as it would fit it in the way the micro-trans n boxes are done on that game.

If possible can you post a screenshot of your PUBG settings to see what could be changed to reduce the stuttering/ FPS drops your screen is having

@m_tan do you anything plugged into your computer that could act like a second controller.

@m_tan it happens on dust as they updated the map and hasn't been fully optimised yet for all systems to run it. As long as it ain't happening on other maps in CS I wouldn't worry about CS:GO Duts II frame drops. PUBG umm the spinning like crazy when passenger riding a vehicle could be due to a controller you have installing possibly. By any chance to do you have a dongle and Steering wheel or Flight Joystick? That caused issues for me so just remove the Joystick or Steering wheel Dongle and that should fix the random spinning the stutters I can't exactly help unless you can get a screenshot or your PUBG graphic settings.

@m_tan, Btw what all would you generally have open in the background this includes your Taskbar Icons in the bottom right popup. As you system really shouldn't be tanking this badly, CS:GO - out of curiosity is this on Dust II, If so the map hasn't been optimised yet so your bound to get slight stutters there.

CPU not GPU, The bottleneck is limiting it but since the CPU is pretty much at full load it is causing drastic stutters as your CPU is more used by PUBG than your GPU for certain tasks.

Sorry I Really can't help but laugh.... So an i7-7600k struggles with PUBG. Huh btw how many cores does the i7-7600k have? I find this amusing because I run a potato rig(What people call it) and that only have an i3-4170 in it. and I would run the game at Medium setting. Yet the only issues I would get is the rendering of buildings at the start of the game other than that it be running 45-70 fps at worst it would drop to 30fps.

TBH do you think that will make those big companies worry? They didn't force loot boxes onto us, They implemented it saw people enjoyed them then took it to the next level so you do have one thing right. We did this to ourselves. but the loot boxes thing most likely will die off due to them being classed as 'gambling'

Had a feeling I was missing something from there. Ty Yes they all had Micro-Transactions among them and all within a year apart from each other. The likes or BF4, SW Battlefront and Battlefield 1 , their Micro-Transaction system have never had a great impact on the gameplay. Most you get from Buying booster packs is a burst in level for whatever class you use. Within Battlefield 4 that was LITTERALY pointless as most weapons you need to complete challenges to unlock (For the Good ones) and only a select few where level unlock on those class' Not to add the boosters only worked once for class levelling and didn't put you to that class' max rank either. SW Battlefield, I played very little and noticed not much influence from the Micro-Transaction system. This goes for BF4 and BF1. two games I play A LOT. and don't notice the difference between someone who has paid for an 'advantage' and the grinding player who have just played the game. I still use the Starting Snipers from BF4 and BF1 and still do better than ones that use the end class snipers. all that is you found a weapon you like and not one someone recommended. I take this stance in a lot of games and with it I haven't once been put down going "ugh I need to buy this to be better" Obviously SW Battlefront 2 is different as you can get power cards etc which do play a big role in the combat system (A lot more than it did in Sw Battlefront) So I can see how the complaints came from. My Two cent's it Yes everyone has the right to be angry at the big greedy company but don't punish the smaller ones under them just because of a few screw ups. I have only noticed Battlefront 2 with being a big mistake from EA's end of things The likes of the sporting area FIFA - UFC they have been like that from when they started, I'm sorry you can't go back and complain about a game series flaws that have been their since the start and no-one argued then just because you find a FPS that has it. Those sport games are seen as a type of fantasy team (In the likes of FIFA and NFL) So the people who play it are generally gonna be not fussed with throwing some dosh at it.

I Find the interesting because what Microsoft is saying here is pretty much they want AV software to go through proper checks instead of their Bypass BS they are doing now. The only reason I would see Microsoft saying this is because they have realised that the AV Bypass BS is actually a threat and could cause easier access to the system files by Malicious viruses that actually try to use your AV software. In my personal experience. AV company's could also be the source of why your computer runs slower. I Say in personal experience as my pc has been without an AV (Including Windows Defender) for over Two years and since then my Pc has actually got fatter Boot times and response times when navigating and opening applications. While before then my pc felt very sluggish

EA doesn't want DICE to speak out due to all that has happened. Even though it isn't Dice's fault the game flopped due to Micro transactions, Some people will take it as "Why didn't you object, Why did you go through with it?" etc What EA is doing now is keeping the Eyes on themselves. EA is a greedy company but the know what to do when it comes to this shiz. They aren't speaking out because any answer they give people will hate. "We where too far into development to start fresh." "Would have cost too much to start from scratch" etc. What EA have done here is Sit in the chair and allow them to get Slapped Silly without involving any other parties along with it. Disney? They don't care Star Wars The last Jedi has been released, That all Disney cared about. Them telling EA to wise up was so their pockets didn't get hurt. Again as I have stated in other Thread Posts. EA knows they fucked up and are accepting it. They don't want to add fuel to the fire by going hey speak freely of what we did and why Battlefront 2 turned out like this. About forcing releases due to them being a big company and Having multiple AAA games series, More commonly known Battlefield and Battlefront along side their Sport series' of FiFa n NFL etc. Forced releases tend to happen when you game series become a hit and people want to see more. Battlefields Release dates have been fairly spaced out in term of yes until Battlefield 4 where Hardline followed then shortly Battlefield 1 (If I have my timeline correct, Going off top of my head atm). This comes through by trying to keep up with your competitor which is Activision Call of Duty. Activision push out games YEARLY for that series. they do it well because the game always swaps between to companies. Tryarch and Sledghammer. so they get a full year to work on them. Going on about Activision though They aint no better Blizzard is fine as they seem to be given free will when it comes to their games but you can see the Activision just wants more titles out. Perfect example would have to be Destiny 2 atm. The project lead was changed 16 months before it's release date and the WHOLE game was restarted from scratch. Bungie wasn't given the same free space as blizzard and ended up releasing a game that was TOO focused on Multiplayer Competitive than its Open world (Used Loosely) aspect of the game. What happened Bare bone end games focused on the Micro transaction side to get interesting items which don't benefit you? Huh sounds like Call of Duty's Black Ops III and more recent titles system(IMO) . What I'm saying in short is Every High end game company is doing this. The only thing is EA was blatant with it and didn't purposely try to hide it, They are ignoring their blunder to an extent to have it calm down but you know what the internet is like once you find something to hate on everyone goes digging into their Personal Business. @AluminiumTech you seem to follow this stuff closely.

If you want some out side help you could try installing team viewer. If ya do pm and i can send ya info to contact myself on a discord im apart of. Do be aware team viewer allows me to take control of your computer but you can close the connection at any time.

@Multiplayer did you dive fully through the folder or just opened it and saw system files, program files etc. They wont show their unless you dive through the user folder and onto your desktop. Some files could be missing but other mearly compress'd

Umm you cant really hear an electric car anyway I'll give you my two cents as i ride the public transport home, Electric cars are going to become the normal maybe soon or in the near future like 2030 or something. Our BIGGEST issue with this is the sustainability of our electricity grid when these energy hungery machines come about. A lot of homes either need modified to feed back to the grid or made in that sense along with the electric car. How? Firstly do do with buildings, homes etc. We all waiat energy without even knowing it a great way is the heat dicipacted through the rear of our ovens and escaping through extractor fans. That can be changed back into usable enrgy if done. Correctly. Same with electric cars. Heat is dicipated and cooling is used to cool the umm batteries i guess? Change that to a vapour cooling system where after the fluid cools the batteries i goes through a set of turbines and generates power to an auxzillary battery (swap between the two depending on levels on each other, talk about that later) you have the breaking system generating heat and friction. Maybe have it when you break you would swap from the motors turning the wheels to a second set that recharges the auxzillary battery with the wheels winding to a stop. Their is many ways we can make electric cars more sutainable but all massive changes. It juat takes people to make a dream a reality. People who dream at night are no harm, The ones that dream during the day has the will to make it reality. Nothing is ever out of reach.

EA don't think everyones gullible, They Know a small amount is and it what their targeting it towards. The ones who want a false sense of being a good player just because they got a Micro-Transaction locked weapon or equipment. This is primarily targeted at the ones that WANT to be Good or can't accept be a BAD player. That happens due to them being a BIG Company they kinda have that power to have people follow them blindly thinking all their releases will be great. Don't get me wrong I have enjoyed the Battlefield Series they release but I wouldn't really touch any of their sport games (No my cup of tea really). Battlefront II Maybe more just to laugh at it (Won't get unless it's lower than £20 which I wouldn't be surprised about the game price was cut in half after the holidays) Wouldn't Call unfair.... More just not diverse. Not trying to be rude started up CS in like 3 months my first 5 games all had Russians screaming at each other and Me One was posted Months ago to do with Activisions one this I supposedly EA's version of that Anthem is supposedly a Ironed out version of a open world FPS. So think of Division mixed with Halo (Kinda looks like halo armour IMO) mixed with a post apocalypse environment. I Personally didn't like the E3 trailer of it more because of the *cough* Bad scripted acting *cough* but the game looks decent, Been designed by Bioware which they ended up sacrificing Mass Effect Andromeda for it to be born. Soo your gonna know or well I hope they have their looting and gear thing bobs. You know what I mean..... Only problem that game is getting negative beef because of EA which I don't exactly find fair. I understand but still....

At the moment the Player base for Destiny is Drastically dwindling, Long standing destiny players like myself and some other friends where hyped to get a game with actual story line, But in return we got a Vanilla Story with a Underwhelming Final Boss, Nothing to work for after that as you can join an active clan and get yo shiz by doing nothing, And not much content to continue. Destiny to is tooo Casual Base as can be seen by the Raid. To me EVERY Room is a GodDamn mini Game until you get to the boss room. Did I enjoy going through yes would I reply it with randomers F*** No and it's maingly because their is nothing to learn on the vanilla Raid. Curse of Osiris was An interesting Storyline to say the least and could have been better. I really feel Bungie has been getting F*** over as to their development and restricted time restraints. Because Bungie knew the screwed up Destiny one on release and Litterally Flipped it by year 3 with Good Expansion and DLC's coming out Patchs going through and Updates that players enjoyed yet Destiny to feels like it has been tied down. IMHO I think Bungies has too many outside influences punishing their work

@AluminiumTech, Tbh I don't exactly care about this, My big thing is this patch really only punishes their Fair play Community base and removes them from the equation. I have played some past COD games going back to Advance warfare (when drops where added) and more recent ones and they have this already in it just not as blatant as what Activision or Ea has Patened (10/10 English). This is really only gonna effect the ones the thing the need a Micro-Transaction weapon to actually be good types of players. Not the ones that will aim for the headshots, and use actual tactics to get an upper hand on players with what people want to call "Better Gear". In general an experienced fighter has a better chance killing a scrub with a Op weapon using on their pistol or Melee. Just Let EA fool the blinded. You guys can see so don't see why it bothers ya

Sorry couldn't help but laugh at that comment, Destiny 2 doesn't really have a end game. Even in destiny one the Cosmetic side was barebone and basic so people found the shader they like without having to go into Everest's Micro transactions. Loot Boxes I have mixed feeling with them, If they don't harm the game in any sense then fine but I would still prefer the classical version of getting these items for example doing challenges for the desired cosmetic or attachment in some cases. But having the loot box system just help with the collection of them ain bad (As long as it ain't a game changer reward(s) ). Sorry But LawBreakers has no excuse to complain. You in the gaming industry for a reason and to go "Hey we didn't do well because we got shadowed by PUBG and their achievement on capitalising the majority of the audience in a game mode people enjoy and don't get too much frustration from. you don't hear EA complaining to Activision when COD loomed over their Battlefield games. you don't hear the likes of Elite Dangerous complaining because people moved to No man's Sky (Temporarily ). It's what happens when in that business, Deal with it. As I know shiz is going to happen when Anthom comes out later this year. (Getting because Bioware made it, Hopefully keep them afloat for their screw up with Adromada)
