specifically hit detection would of course be pretty easy to cut latency on, since it is an entirely binary event. have k+1 simultaneous streams running, one for not hitting the firing button at all, and then a cycle of k streams where stream i, for 1<=i<=k, is the simulation of hitting the firing button in l/i ms, where l is the current latency. have the client switch onto the stream closest fitting when the button is indeed pressed since movement is relatively sluggish it'd probably improve perceived latency a fair bit. i doubt they'd bother doing that though, what with all the overhead, you get most of that effect by just having trusted clients and playing the sound effects (and possibly some of the more simplistic visual effects) at the right moment

actually the article says collision detection. so i think you'd need so much data client-side that it would be pointless. and unless it's going to locally render "you've walked into something" on the screen 20 milliseconds faster than the game frame arrives then what is the point.

seems a bad example. there is a lot of games where it is easy to see streaming being a good enough solution for most gamers, but if low-latency collision detection is needed for precise movement it is hard to see what the solution would be overall it is not too hard to imagine a lot of solutions that can be done with pretty low computational cost on the client for e.g. a shooter. the noted inserted additional streams for singular events (which could likely be made pretty cheap by interleaving them in the video encode appropriately), plus rendering the scene with a larger viewpoint and stuff that is not in the world view (i.e. hud and a weapon model and so on) separate you can fake fine aim by having the client just pan its sub-viewport on the rendered video until the render catching up, stuff like that. i rather doubt many developers will bother though if middlewares can't deal with most of the work transparently

the next xbox will be a normal console, all the streaming stuff is just a way to book a bunch of expected extra revenue for azure and get their budget approved much like all the magic tv deals for the xbone they will build a game streaming service but it won't be markedly superior to psnow

i now only use my old 3rd gen x1 carbon for skype, so i put windows back on it, it came with 7 but i thought id try out win10 1803 on decent hardware and not a VM, somehow the machine already had a license for win10 pro, which was a nice surprise no microsoft account, of course, and turned off everything for analytics/app suggestions/etc. that i could find in the middle of a skype call today, i got a notification from some part of windows suggesting that i install some games from the windows store, i thought i had turned off all of that garbage but apparently i missed some windows 10 bad

despite being a w10 cheerleader overall it is hard to deny that the initial setup is annoying, and partly for very bad reasons (lets bog things down by installing lovely games in the middle of a major update install being prepared) also the first time in a while i've been changing the language entirely on a system, and it is a more involved process than makes sense (need to do it for your account, then you need to in a separate step push it to be the default for new accounts and system stuff like login screens, and even then store apps need to all individually update before the change actually happens for them) still the best os somehow v  v

yeah wouldn’t you need to have locale be configurable per user if you were re-using a VM image or something in multiple locations idk anything about that sorta thing tho

Shaggar posted:windows is a multiuser system so localization needs to be settable separately by user and system yeah, i mean, it is easy to see how it got the way it is, but the end result for the rather typical user is not as streamlined as it should be. i find the store apps needing updates especially egregious, because nothing informs you of this, and you just randomly have half your stuff in one language and the other half in another until updates start catching up

I had to reinstall windows 10 on my cheap lovely acer ryzen laptop to upgrade the bios. It autodetects that it's supposed to have the home edition and loads itself up with freemium crapware during the install, ugh. It felt really good to overwrite windows 10 with Ubuntu afterwards, I should do this more often. Although it seems to have stopped crashing with the new bios so maybe not.
