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.

Those AI bots in MP is going to be a big problem if the OP video discussing them is true. I can imagine if people are going to wonder if their internet is working problem, etc. I can imagine the mirrored of threads this might cause. But we will see.

They are using 300 bots with just over 100 real players in the BR mode. And, they are using bots in core MP modes. 🤣 So, the OP video talking about bots actually has some credibility now (talking about no one talking at the end of the match, etc). I am sure they tested some of it on unsuspecting players during a match. At the 16:40 mark but watch the whole thing when you can. I really do wonder if they convert EOMM into those Bots that kill you just like cheaters do. 😅🤣 At the 14:11 mark he tells us they've completely overhauled the gunsmith as we know it. It's now a Gun"Tree". Where you use one gun, level it up. Once you get to a certain point you unlock another gun (hand gun or assault or smg or lmg or sniper, etc). Then you have to level that up in the gun "tree" to a certain point to get to the next gun, etc. This has pay to win all over it. Because it appears there is not direct way to get to the gun you want to use. All I can say is that I hope he misunderstood. No way that passes the sniff test.

Both reveals on the 8th and 9th are from the single player MWII. 😆🤣 They are going to hide

I am in the same position as you. I was going to pre order/buy it so we could play. But after I discovered they dropped split screen support for MW2019 I decided against buying MW II. I too have no hope for MW II being nothing more then a continuation of MW2019. And, I don't think we are the only ones who won't be buying as part of a demographic who usually buy 2-3 copies at one time (for the family). It is going to be hilarious if the rumor is true that the game play looks exactly the same as MW2019 except playing on different maps. 😅🤣😂 After I stumbled on how to fix the odd latency issues and weapon inconsistencies it's hard to believe what's actual bugs in this game. But I digress.

https://piunikaweb.com/2022/06/03/cod-vanguard-long-matchmaking-wait-time-issue-acknowledged/ Look out, people are complaining about longer than normal wait times getting into a match. Just in case you are one of them it is not DumaOS/router that's causing this problem. The article states that they are investigating it but not much else.

Thanks for sharing. Different accounts with different behavior traits like this certainly adds a new twist to how rigged the game is now. Do you have plans on following up between alt and main accounts when MW II is released? I certainly would like to know if you are still experiencing this same issue or not. With the alleged claims they aren't doing that any more.

They can curate 11 studios to make modern warfare. I seriously doubt that they don't have the means to enable split screen in modern warfare 2019. Remember, an inability to do something does not always mean incompetence. If you know they have the resources to fix it and do not fix it then the only conclusion that can be made is that they refuse to. When I last played modern warfare 2019 I did not run into any bugs.

Another issue is tac sprint bug/nerf. And pay attention to the sliding between public and private match.

What I believe is happening is that you can be kicked along with the offending legit player who is popping off if you were flagged. It happened to me and I was going positive and getting close to a 2.00 K/D when I was kicked. However, I did recall someone popping off. And, I took it as a challenge to see if I could catch up before I was kicked. It was on Castle too. For me Castle was a map I would see it happen the most. Like I said before, there were 100's of complaints. All saying the same thing on youtube, reddit, and other forums. They simply disabled whatever they were doing as a result of the backlash. As people were figuring out there was a direct correlation between being kicked and doing "too good" as a legit player. This "feature" did absolutely nothing against cheaters. I played matches were cheaters were getting 90+ kills and it never happened. It only seem to happen with legit players who get multikills. Be it killstreaks or using your weapon. I'm thinking that I am going to hold off on MW II until I see for myself if any of this manifests itself or not. I already saw what happened in BF2042 and how arrogant that organization was. To this day they refuse to make BF2042 play like regular BF. So, I understand how delusional someone with a little bit of authority over a game's development can damage the reputation of that game. I made this decision once I realized they intentionally disabled split screen from MW2019. I wanted to play a coop when I found out just recently. I know it worked earlier this year. I spent over an hour troubleshooting trying to figure out why "Add Controller for Split Screen" wasn't available. Here is a direct quote from someone posting on a video about the issue: Let's be clear here. This isn't a tactical move to stop cheating. IE: Walls, aimbots, charms, silent aim, spoofers, etc. This is an attack on legit players trying to play MW with friends/family. All because an accusation made about reverse boosting circumventing EOMM. They would rather go after the innocent then fix their broken system which is the cause and effect of all of this and prevent actual cheating. This says a lot to me. I don't know about you. Therefore, I am going to hold off on MW II until I see an improvement in morality of the human condition. I was planning on making 2 purchases of modern warfare II. I changed my mind once I found out they disabled split screen on mw2019. There are some of us who actually do this as a result of the people with consoles in our household. And there are some who buy three times. Like some of my neighbors. However, I'm going to have a conversation with friends and family today advising them that split screen was disabled in mw 2019 and that they might do it in mw II. I am absolutely positive that they do not want to spend almost $200 for just a game when they've disabled a critical feature that they buy the game for. It looks like they find their algorithm more important than making profit. Which goes back to the blunder of bf2042. In my opinion. 😁

LOL, They completely removed splitscreen from MW2019 to prevent "duplicate accounts" and are ignoring complaints from legit players who have family and friends who use to play the game together (I've been told).
