There are lots of very smart people doing fascinating work on cryptographic voting protocols. We should be funding and encouraging them, and doing all our elections with paper ballots until everyone currently working in that field has retired.

@murgatroid99 So, I installed Rails through that Ubuntu app for Windows 10, but I have no idea how to access the files I generate with it. For example, if I want to open a directory in Sublime Text, the app can't open Sublime Text, and I can't find the directory outside of the Ubuntu app.

Any advice?

murgatroid99

I don't actually know. I haven't used that app myself

Niro

Hmm... I may just end up installing Rails with Windows, if I can't figure this one out.

@Niro have you tried installing linux version of sublime through terminal?

Niro

@Chippies Yeah. I did that.

Nzall

12:25

So what is this thing that happened with the EVO 2018 DBFZ Grand Finals reset?

like, why did they do a reset?

Exeggutor

@Nzall In a double elimination tournament, when you get down to 2 players, one of them has lost a match previously and the other has not.

If the person in Winners wins the match, the tournament ends and they win.

Nzall

ah, like that

Exeggutor

If the person in Losers wins the match, then the bracket "resets" and they play another match to determine the tournament winner.

Nzall

So the loser bracket finalist has to win 2 matches, but the winner only 1?

Exeggutor

Yes.

But that's not what the controversy was.

Nzall

12:27

And what exactly is the logic behind that?

Exeggutor

In a double elimination tournament, you have to lose twice to be eliminated.

Nzall

oh, like that

Exeggutor

So if the Loser wins, then the Winner has now only lost his first match.

The only person left for him to play is the same person again.

The controversy was: There's a rule that says in between rounds, the loser may choose to switch sides in the game.

Nzall

okay, I get that now

Exeggutor

The person from Losers won the first match, so the person from Winners (who just lost) wanted to switch sides.

But it's a really rare rule so the tournament officials spent too long letting it happen.

Nzall

12:29

ah, and Go1 lost his momentum through that

Exeggutor

Yeah, pretty much.

Nzall

And why did the sides switch take so long?

like, technical issues or something else?

Exeggutor

The referees or whatever they're called weren't sure if it was allowed.

So they had to consult the event rules or something.

It was pretty unprofessional.

Nzall

oh, like that. Yeah, that's pretty poor planning

Chippies

12:46

@Exeggutor I feel like it would make sense to have the players do an equal amount of rounds on each side

but Idk anything about fighting tournaments

I just know for me personally, I tend to be better at doing moves on one side than on the other, although maybe it's irrelevant when you have an arcade stick

Nzall

@Chippies I don't know if that's really possible. Like, what if both players have already played a match on the left side when they met each other?

Exeggutor

@Chippies It's still a big issue, which is why they have a rule allowing the loser to choose to switch sides.

But most pros play so much on both sides that they have muscle memory both ways.

So it still doesn't come up often.

Chippies

@Exeggutor yeah, I guess it makes sense that they don't really care and the option for loser to switch is there pretty much covers it

Exeggutor

When a match starts the players can agree upon sides mutually or choose to randomize sides.

Nzall

@Exeggutor And it's especially a weird rule in a game like DBFZ where you switch sides more often than a metronome

Exeggutor

12:48

@Nzall Yeah, side switches mid-round are pretty frequent in some games.

best part of C++ is that when you finally get something working it's incredibly satisfying

I honestly don't think I've ever used for_each

like I probably have and don't remember but

Actually it's new in 17 right?

Yuuki

@Moacir The game being...?

Ave

I don't see why for_each is even necessary

at least with vectors

just call .size and do a for_loop with that

quartata

or use the regular for each loop (no relation)

C++ iterators are actually pretty good imo

C++11 adding in the range for loop was nice but it was never really that ugly

Well, that sucks.

But then again, Japanese devs have always been objectively terrible at PC games/optimization.

Yuuki

@Chippies I built a new rig like two-ish months ago.

Chippies

i7-8700k is some within the last half year or less kind of new

oh alright then, it probably is that then

@Yuuki all the pre-release reviews seem to indicate the performance is fairly decent

Yuuki

@Chippies Performance is decent, but optimization is apparently terrible.

As always seems to be the case with Japanese PC games.

> In this regard, all we can say for certain right now is that it's very CPU heavy. From what I have seen, users of Haswell i5 CPUs, and even stock clock Haswell i7 CPUs are going to struggle with the CPU load this game generates. So if you're someone with their 144Hz 1080p panel hoping to be pushing that panel, you're going to have to accept that it probably won't happen based on the CPU alone. As seen in this video, a stock clocked i7 6700K is being given a run for it's money at 1080p High with Volume Rending disabled and a 980Ti, just having your charecter run around.

> The picture isn't pretty again. OC'd 1080Ti graphics cards are seeing 1% lows of 55FPS on highest, with averages of 60.8FPS when running at 1440p, with low 60s and high 80s at 1080p respectivley. The biggest issue in this regard is the "Volume Rendering Quality". This pertains to volumetric lighting and fog effects. MHW's implimentation is frankly God-awful. Easily one of the worst in recent years. It is highly recommened that you turn it off. Not only will disabling this feature provide a large relief to the GPU's load, but will also get rid of the washed-out look of the game.

Chippies

@Yuuki to be fair, I wasn't expecting to run it maxed anyway, since I don't run a top tier rig. It's true though that all the reviews seem to be using some sort of i7, so I also figured it's a cpu heavy game

hopefully my i5-6600k can manage

also, how old are those comments?

Yuuki

> 22 hours ago

> edited 12 hours ago

Chippies

16:00

I watched a video where the reviewers were running the game at nearly locked 60 fps with occasional dips below on a gtx980, which is way less powerful than the 1080ti those comments are mentioning

anyways, I think it should be downloadable now...

cool, steam store says play now, but library doesn't have the option

if you click on play now in store, it says the game isn't released yet

restarting steam solved that, as is usual with pre-order titles

Yuuki

@Chippies Denuvo may or may not be playing a factor.

Chippies

@Yuuki true, denuvo is a cpu hog and as with all drm, the effects of it vary from PC to PC

Yuuki

I don't know enough about how it works but some people say that it might be a contributing problem.

And I just queued up the install from my phone.

:D

Chippies

taking forever to allocate space for it >.< I want to see that download bar, lol

capcom is smart, they are mitigating the huge server load at launch by not allowing people to pre-load, so people with slower internet won't be able to log on at same time as people with fast internet

Yuuki

21:53

@Chippies It's entirely possible that it's due to Denuvo and I hope Capcom removes it after the release rush dies down.

I know a number of devs have been doing that recently with Denuvo.

Chippies

@Yuuki I would hope so

yeah, the purpose of Denuvo is to protect sales while the release hype is still active

Yuuki

Has that always been the case? I thought the original purpose was full-time DRM?

Chippies

@Yuuki full time DRM is pointless

all DRM gets cracked sooner or later and once it's cracked, it serves no purpose and it is hindering paying customers

obviously it depends on developer/publisher, but I remember reading some publisher saying that they are removing denuvo from their game because the initial hype is over and denuvo has served it's purpose

don't remember which game or publisher it was though...

Yuuki

22:09

Ah. I could've sworn back when Denuvo was the big thing, everyone was using it full-time and people were complaining about performance.

Chippies

yeah, probably when it was brand new

I believe it took around a year to crack it

but after the first game gets cracked, it only takes weeks or days to crack new ones

people still complain about performance of it

which is probably a huge reason why it gets removed after the initial hype

at least by sensible publishers...

Yuuki

Wait, this is Capcom.

F--k.
