Update has made it so I can't play... (now I can)

(averagerussian) #41

[quote=“Kelben;213876”]Few of those steps are maybe over the top or redundant. But this is what I did and I got rid of the input lag, the stutters and freezes, and had a fps boost.

  1. Uninstall and reinstall DB
  2. Go to steam, right click on DB, go to Properties -> General -> Set Launch options and type in “-cpuCount=4 -threads=4” without the quotation marks (that is, if you have 4 cores)
  3. Kill the Black Cipher process after launching DB
  4. Install Razer Cortex [/quote]

Wow I didn’t even have to do the rest I just uninstalled and all my problems with the game just went away

Kinda sad that we dont have any statement even when SD knows about this problem already. :confused:

once again SPLASH DAMAGE has NOTHING to do with Black Cypher, that’s a Nexon “application”

(TitaniumRapture) #48

Like it would change anything, i dont care who will give us some information. Because now even this temporary fix stopped working. Game kicked me twice in row for some security violation (turning off anticheat).

So basically bye bye Dirty Bomb for a while (with their speed i guess month or so).

if your car explodes because of a structural error. do you blame the dealer that sold you the car, or the manifacturer or the car? it DOES make a difference.

(Exavidos) #50

No. BlackCipher and NGS Anticheat are so terrible that you can literally close them through task manager and they don’t stop you from playing without them enabled. This is one of the reasons why cheaters are so prevalent.[/quote]

what really?
i gotta try that[/quote]

doesn’t work anymore. The just released an update where you get kicked from a server after a few minutes if BlackCipher is not runnung.

(RazielWarmonic) #51

[quote=“bushyg;213898”]I can’t believe the game actually runs without its anti-cheat running lol…

Can we at least get confirmation that we’re not going to get banned doing this? I know hackers seem to play until they are reported 600 times, I’d just rather be ‘safe than sorry’. I’d like to see @RazielWarmonic opinion/thoughts on this.[/quote]

It was a bug and is we are now in a process of rolling out a fix.

(hungryLocomotive) #52

@RazielWarmonic why i can’t set priority or affinity on Blackchiper.aes process?

(doxjq) #53

@RazielWarmonic here’s the thing:

We worked out that the anti cheat is 100% the source of the problem for many of us, so can we at least ask when we are likely to see a fix for the anti cheat?

With the anti cheat open my game is not playable at all. 70-90 frames on average, huge input lag on mouse, CPU usage is through the roof, insane lag spikes every 30 seconds where I drop to 1-2 FPS for a couple of seconds.

With the anti cheat off I run at 170-180 frames the entire time, smoothest mouse input I’ve ever had on Dirty Bomb, CPU usage is less than half & absolutely no lag spikes what so ever.

The anti-cheat is seriously broken. I’m not touching DB again until the issue is addressed, not out of spite but literally because the game is unplayable right now with it on. Any info on when the issue will be looked at will be appreciated.

Have fun waiting, the only people even more incompetent than SD are Nexon.

That is definitely an issue, we are investigating it specifically with it’s impact to Dirty Bomb since we haven’t had reports of the same problems with NGS on other games. Sorry about that, it 100% sucks.

Has this only happened since the MOFO update? Or the hotfix? This can help us narrow down the issue!

(Nail) #56

they’re running fixes now

(bushyg) #57

Fixes, yeah ok lol. We have people telling us first hand that the anti-cheat is ruining the performance of the game. Glad I didn’t waste any time redownloading the game.

It’s only been since the mofo update. I know many others having the same issue (bushyg is one of them). All in all when the game is actually running, it feels smoother, but then at random the FPS drops all together but mostly it’s the 1-2 fps moments that have caused us to stop playing. Once every 10 minutes might be tolerable, but 1-2 every minute is just too much. You can basically guarantee you’ll die when this happens which is pretty game breaking.

(The_N00Ba) #59

I think any one that can provide information that Raziel is looking for would be beneficial. :slight_smile:

(GatoCommodore) #60

@RazielWarmonic
only after MOFO update.
before then it runs really smooth
