How has it been for your PS4/5 users out there?

Thanks for the update. Good to hear that its fixed! But, how long will I have to wait before it's released for the xr450?

@Netduma Fraser Any word yet?

Thanks, I appreciate you looking into this for a fix. For this to come up now after all this time...It's pretty hard pill to swallow. I do currently have 2.3.2.134 (installed several months ago...what a year now...). I recall getting this error once before but it refreshed itself and went away (earlier this month). I've used DUMAOS multiple times without issue. Even resync the cloud and for several days/weeks in/out of DumaOS. But all of a sudden towards the end of this month I get that error. So, I can only assume there was some sort of cloud update recently for the xr450.

Huh, would you look at that. I just realized there is a sticky thread about this very issue. My bad...

So, you one day decide to go into DUMAOS for some random reason and are greeted with DumaOS not loaded yet! So, you clear your web browser cache and try again. Same result. You reboot your router and still, the same result. Next, you unplug the router for a few hours, clear the web browser cache and try again using a different web browser. Same results. So you try your tablet, phone, another laptop. Same result. And you are at wits end trying to figure out what happened between the last time you used DumaOS and now that would cause this issue. And you cannot find anything you did that would cause this issue. So you start searching the interwebs and it brought you to this thread. Well, you are in luck. Here I will compile information that explains why it happens. Rest assured you did nothing wrong. However, the fix is rather more complex. A temporary fix is to go back to a firmware well before DumaOS 3.0. However, you should already be aware that internet use is just fine. The GUI for DumaOS is borked. I recall this issue back in 2019. It was determined it was the result of a faulty cloud update of some kind that effected the GUI of DUMA OS. Resetting the router doesn't work. And doing so will only result in you not having access to the internet as you won't be able to complete the setup as "DumaOS not loaded yet!" will return. What seems to work is using either: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-from-the-Microsoft-Windows-Command-Prompt Or, you use: 192.168.1.1/adv_index.htm Login. Then navigate to Administration > Firmware Upgrade (download the firmware 1st to you pc). And downgrade back to .32. Yes! all the way back to 2.3.2.32 firmware. Anything higher then this may result in either Rapp crashing or DumaOS not loaded yet errors. This should get you a functional DUMAOS. Although not 3.0. Now here's were it gets tricky. Upgrading back to the current firmware of newer firmware may or may not fix the issue. Because the issue stems from and I quote: So, unless the team over a DumaOS address this cloud server update (that updates regardless if you have updates enabled or disabled). It's very likely you will update the firmware to a more current version only for the cloud sever to also update the faulty data causing the GUI issue all over again. This is a GUI issue (from what I've noticed). And, doesn't seem to effect my devices connected nor internet speeds. As long as I don't reset the router all is fine. You just don't have GUI interaction with DUMOS 3.0 unless you use the link above with only advance functionality. Once this is fixed all you need to do is reboot your router and clear your browser cache and it's fixed. As found here: Unless there is something else borked with your router you shouldn't need to go back to .32. Everything should be working just fine. I can only assume I am not the only one experiencing this issue. So I wanted to compile a summary explaining what happened, how it happened and how to temporary fix it. However, if the information from Fraser is accurate (and I have no reason to believe otherwise) the real fix will come from DumaOS developer team to address whatever they did to this cloud update in Aug 2022 and undo it. So that we get both Rapp and GUI functionality back. Without needing to downgrade firmware. I post this because I researched this for hours to find out why this is happening. What others have done. And it'd clear that resetting the router or reinstalling the same firmware doesn't work. As the cloud update will simply reinstall itself borking the GUI and or some of the Rapps. @Netduma Alex @Netduma Fraser @Netduma Admin , etc Can someone look into this issue and see if this can be fixed again for the xr450?

I've been noticing intermittent issues in COD with very little issues web surfing, watching videos etc. Got an orange light for internet when I flicked the cat cable to the internet in the back. I pulled cat cable out to look at the cable and connector and didn't notice anything. https://i.ibb.co/qJZbgzb/Pic1.jpg Didn't see anything at first glance. But I know if I flick the cable I get an orange light on my router. So I took it apart. https://i.ibb.co/9hV5HYB/Pic2.jpg And there I found just 1 wire almost severed off. The white/brown wire. Amazing too because I was, up to then, able to download at full speeds with seemingly no issues. Amazing what one clipped wire in a cat cable can do and not do until it gets bad enough.

Interesting tier break down on SBMM and EOMM

I make this thread with some level of reservation. As it is unclear how those who are actually decent at the game will be EOMM'd. Which has a tendency to mimic network problems. However, it will not be long before (in a few weeks) the 1st beta starts and I wanted to create a thread in which discussion can be had on game play impressions regarding: Hit Registration Input latency Movement Speeds Responsiveness More importantly, will you be playing on dedicated servers or peer-to-peer? To name a few. Most importantly it's not clear what technical strides were made with the game's net code. Will it be no different then prior COD games or has things gotten better or worst? Will we see 120hz tick rate servers in MP/Warzone? What kind of pings are you seeing while playing during peak hours? Are you experiencing "Strict SBMM" not allowing you to move throughout the map? Are you seeing the same players even though lobbies are disbanding? Can you play splitscreen with family/friends? Can you play with your family on the same router/modem? Can you play with friends on your friends list? These are but a few of the questions that will be of value to COD veterans who plan on getting this game. I am sure there are others. Until then, take care.

AI bots in MP vanguard is being claimed. The replay of the player does look strange in how he found him from behind like that. Although this could look like a cheater I cannot explain the speed the player used to find him that fast. Walls charms, radar hacks don't allow you to zero in on a player from behind that fast after a respawn. And, it's also shown that the player didn't engage the other players in front of him when he exited the cargo container. Making me wonder if what is said is true.

Great!

Great, thank you.

Is this QoS tagging compatible/recommended on the XR Series routers using DumaOS 2.XX.XX? If enabled from the xbox what would I need to do in DumaOS to ensure compatibility with my router?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/05/27/skill-based-matchmaking/ I debated if I wanted to post about this or not do to me not agreeing to the title nor the 1st few paragraphs and other opinions of the article. IMO comes off as victim blaming. However, if you read the article there are details that get lost in the sensationalize of the article that attempts to create a negative bias towards players who want a more fair game play regardless of skill set. The above is the most important part of this long winded article attempting to discuss SBMM. And this is why it's rigged. The author of that article clearly tells you that COD is now rigged. But attempts to sugar coat it by victim blaming those who complain 1st before telling you that they are creating plausible outcomes of every match you play. And I believe that needs to be clearly extracted from the article before any biases are set. As this is what should have been said in the 1st paragraph of this article. So you may wonder what is this "advance statistics"? Well, it's everything everyone complained about the game that hampers/hinders you from having an enjoyable experience. That is not limited to just your personal skill set. But everything else rig'd against you (algorithm) to create that plausible outcome. IE: Creating certain conditions so that a certain outcome is produced. Then reinforcing that outcome every time you play. Even though that's not how you naturally play the game. This is how you curate SBMM inoto EOMM. IMO...

Here is some regular gameplay before the dumaOS update 3.2 is finally release. I haven't had any issue using dumaOS so far. Hit rego was fine. Movement speed was average. ADS was what I would expect for this lmg. If this was in every match I wouldn't have an issue with COD. Personally I don't like calling in nukes early as ending the game early ruins the fun for everyone else playing.
