Correction, that was TDM not DOM but yeah, there is something up with how they are testing the waters with MW. Again, hit rego and movement was great but there are other factors that I cannot control. So I know the rules from DumaOS are working as intended. It's the game doing odd stuff. Stuff that makes no sense. Sure, if you want a group of players have an easy round let them play against bots. But don't put me in there to be teammates with the bots!!!!!!!! Everyone on the other team had a positive K/D! I guess that's mission accomplish, respect!

LOL, I already posted a video of this already, take your own B.S. elsewhere.

They are indeed doing some real dodgy stuff with the data mining. I've been in a match were I thought my teams were complete bots. The players on the other team were normal and I ended the match with 2.00+ k/d but lost the match by over 20 points (Dom). Every player on my team had a k/d of .50 and lower. Hmm, yup i took a quick snippet of that match to. There is no rhyme or reason to what they are trying to accomplish here. It was as if the match was specifically designed for the players on the other team to have an easier time playing that round. They were by no means hard or difficult players. Yet, I felt like I was playing against them by myself.

Interesting, there were whispering of machine learning. This, to me, looks like the teething behavior of it. It's not limited to specific patterns, behaviors, skill level, or map/game type preferences but seems to incorporate all of it and then some. For example, it can tell when you are cheating. But goes well beyond that. If you use xim apex, you can increase the range of aim assist (among other things). With machine learning it can detect when your aim assist is beyond the threshold designed by the developer. It's stuff like that. It incorporates a whole lot of info but it's rumored to be used on a quantum computing. Which sounds kind of far out there to me. It has been noted among certain circles to not use aimbotting as it's detected. No matter what. However, it's not clear to me what the ramifications are as not many are complaining they are getting banned (well from my observations on reddit). They are complaining that the game is getting more sweety with more dodgy gameplay. And it is true, if you join a lobby of someone with a 2.00 k/d and higher you see so much dodgy stuff you back out of the match with in 30 seconds of playing. I don't know how they play in those matches. Now the real question is what are they doing with that information? For example, lets say you have a group of players that are above average, average, below average. Well it looks like they are lumping them up together. But seems to try to put you in a tier higher then you can perform at some point. And it might be gather data from games (like BO4) but only implemented in MW.

Both MW and BO4?

@Seye I'm curious, what is your k/d?

This explains a lot.

Anyone else did a uninstall re-install of Modern Warfare?

Hmm, I wonder if the reinstall, even on another console, helped... You see, when you reinstall the game you get the entire game, not the patch version of the game. So it's like the game was never "patched" you simply get that version of the game. Which is why I was told to never wholly rely on patches. Just get the whole game with the newer version.

@Seye Your results are not bad. 👍 On PC I've found that a reinstall of game that had "Standby list issue" (where game stutters because standby list in win10 was completely full) is now gone with a reinstall. This was BO4.

Has anyone tried an uninstall and reinstall of Modern Warfare (only if you are experience problems)? --------------- Original Post Updated.

It's the same as the OP. However, I've been tweaking here and there. 1. Although ABB is set to never I set the download speed to 75% 1st then set ABB to never. For some reason that sticks. I have read no documentation as to what's actually working when you do that. IE: Is ABB actually still working or am I just throttling my download speed? The download meter is still grayed out once set to never so I have to change it back in order to make adjustments to download speed. I did this by accident by the way do to the updates for MW. So I stumbled upon it. Setting ABB to never doesn't give me full bandwidth until I set up/down to 100%. 2. I segmented the ranges 5000 to 8000 increments at a time. So, I went from 30000-35000 or from 35001-42000 and so on.

Since I uninstall and re-installed the MW and using the rules for traffic prioritization game play has been superb as it's been consistent now. I'm not sure if there is anything left to do. I've had some very easy matches then it goes to sweets and then down right cheating. But in all cases my hit rego and movement fluidity/speed has been consistent. For me, the key to better movement and consistency was a reinstall after an update is released.

Uninstall then Re-install Modern Warfare if all else fails Ok, I've had MW installed since the day it launched. From my end (pc) I can see which files were updated and which were not (date created/etc). And it's a hosh posh of old and new files. So, I deleted them and did a repair. I've found that ever since then the game is a bit smoother and a tad more responsive. This was some old advice passed down to me sometime ago. That eventually multiple updates can break a game (so uninstall and reinstall the game with the most recent update). I don't think you can do a "repair" on console like I can on PC. For example, on PC I can delete all the files in the main directory. I can then start Battle.net and before the Launch Button is available it will automatically recreate all the missing files. Once replaced the launch button becomes available and I can start the game. All done without having to do a repair, for example. Pretty elaborate if I do say so. However, on console I would suggest a uninstall and reinstall of MW (or any game for that matter) that's had multiple updates. Now, I'm being transparent about this. On PC, there is a lot that can go wrong when a game is updated multiple times during it's life cycle. There is no checks and balances like their are on MS/Sony validation on console. So it's very possible that your updates might be 100% more stable on console then on PC. However, if you've been having issues that you cannot resolve doing it can't hurt. It's just time consuming depending on your download speed. BTW, make sure you max out your DumaOS for downloads. IE: Set ABB to 100%, set your PC/Console on the Bandwidth Allocation to 100%. So you can reaching the maximum download speed.

Ah yes, I am aware of that. However, there are times were the supposed limitations don't seem to apply as strongly as they normally do. I don't see too often. Nearly everyone scored high kills in this match. Everyone was running around like it's BO4 and having a blast. Hardly any camping that match which is rare. Even though most had as many deaths as kills that didn't stop them from run/gun the entire time. It was a fun, rare match to be in. No one complained of any dodgy behavior either. This is one of those matches where I really wish everyone stayed in the lobby 😅

And that's the thing though. It's very apparent that whatever they are doing in MW they are not doing in BO4. Game play is night and day different between the two once the ports are prioritized, etc. And, it's a good litmus test because they both use the same/similar port ranges. So it's a good way to know if the adjusts to DumaOS are indeed working. Right now the only issue with MW is the movement fluidity. There is on time fluidity and hyper fluidity. And I have no idea yet how to get it to hyper fluidity all the time. I've only experienced it a hand full of times. Where you can run around with a assault rifle in MW and it would feel like you had an smg. I'm not sure if you are even suppose to have that kind of advantage. Which is why I think it's the way the game was tailored for me during those matches. However, I'm still looking into that.

Sable there is a thing called circumstantial evidence . I suggest you look that up. We don't live in a world were if everything is not "told to you"..."it didn't happen". One must use critical thinking and deduction to foster knowledge based on the information provided. Therefore, as I've stated before it's there to bring awareness to what Activision is doing. You have no proof they are not doing this. Nor do you have any proof that it's not in the game. Therefore, what is the point of your post if it's not intended to refute that the patent actually exist?

These patents were filed April 25, 2019. The reason I'm posting them is to bring awareness to what Activision is doing. It's very likely that your Skill Base will play a light, moderate to severe role as to how well your hit rego and movement is in MW. Therefore, it maybe that your ports are indeed open and prioritized (if you forwarded them and prioritized them) as it should be but the rest is dependent on the slot machine aspect of MW meta they have on you.

I've tried not doing vise versa with the other rule and it didn't work for me. I have to use both ways for optimal results. In any case did you notice anything with just 1-65535 destination 30000-45000 ?

This could explain why it's hard to run/gun with lower rank players. You ever get completely melted, BO4 style, by this one player and you find out they are lower ranked then you which make you scratch your head even harder!!!!! I'm going to suggest source 1-65535 destination 30000-45000 and vise versa just to see if there is something other port(s) out there. Just to make sure we aren't missing anything. Has anyone did this yet?

I'm not surprised. However, what I find alarming is that even in the face of evidence some still deny it's existence. Going as far as calling it something completely different. Which is in of itself an not rational. Anyway, you are right, the best thing to do in such instances is change direction (sort of speaking). So far game play in MW, at least for me, has been a blast so far. I've come across a few cheaters though. LOL, had the whole team talking about this one dude walling everyone. But other then that the game has been better since I've made those changes in the OP. It's not as good as BO4 though (hit rego is bit more crisp and movement is far more fluid). But certainly an improvement since I started looking into this.

Yeah it's all incidental evidence right now but reading it clearly showed me what I've seen from others. Shots that didn't register but clearly should have as part of the hitbox. But wasn't direct center. To be honest, there is no telling how long they've been "testing" this with us. I'm sure there have been some "trial runs" to obtain stats/data, etc. Something that you can't get in house (part of which is how SBMM works).

This is why game play will never be as consistent in MW as it is in Bo4 In other words they have been messing with hitbox sizes via SBMM (allegedly). The better you are the smaller the hitboxes get. This explains some stuff. And don't believe those utube shills saying it don't exist this is an actual patent from Activision. They didn't do this for "giggles". It takes some critical thinking and personal experience to know that with all the hoops we have to go through in order to get MW movement/hitrego right something isn't right. Specially when I can go back to BO4 and get a whole different, consistent gaming experience.

Good to see you finally got it sorted out! Give it a day or so and see if this is consistent.

@kinel maybe on to something. I've read that before. That those with R1 shouldn't disable ABB. I too mentioned that in the OP. So you might want to give that a try
