My experience with all sorts of Problems regularly mentioned here.

[Hyote]

Oh, you're making it really easy for me today. You've carefully ignored a lot of stuff I've written down, and I can just quote myself here without having to type it again, as the point still stands.

Everything is made to look clean, simple and minimal at the cost of functionality. It is evolving backwards and your tinfoil hat bit of writing was not about this claim but about what you think was going through my mind. No, I don't think there is injected lag but the result of poorly done work. Why would they care about making it perform as well as it could, when other things like UI design changes and AI implementations are more marketable.

This point I made is still relevant:

So out of all the millions upon millions of players using Windows as their operating system of choice, everybody who's not done these tweaks has the same problems like we have and it just happens to be that only a tiny fraction out of these millions of users notice?

you can search this forum and many other forums and a majority of the victims of the problems claim that it gets a lot better at night. The feeling of the computer changes with the time of the day. How come? Does Bill Gates hack into your computer every night and change FSO settings for all your games? What's changing between daytime and nighttime? Other users reported instant improvement when moving, that's including me when I was testing my system at my mother's house. Or when I was playing on my school friend's computer in the breaks. Mind you, he was your run of the mill casual player who didn't know how to reinstall Windows without help and therefore didn't have any setting changed in the first place. How come?

Explain this with the background of Windows being a step back and the result of "poorly done work". How can A LOT of people, including pros who know exactly how their mouse is supposed to feel, not notice anything being off when they're playing on unmodified, out of the box Windows installations. Why is the quality of the operating system changing with the time of the day? What exactly is changing within the operating system that is causing the change in mouse behaviour over the course of the day? Why is Windows 7 better in this regard? Keep in mind both Windows 7's and Windows 10's kernel is based on the same fundamental architecture, called Windows NT. What exactly is different here, where is the work located at that has been done poorly, and how does that poorly done work influence the feeling of the mouse in relation to the time of the day? Why did they worsen the already existing, well-functional kernel from Windows 7 in the first place?

And lastly I understand if you had baseless accusations but I still have no idea why you would defend something that becomes obvious even from a few YouTube videos. I watched some lower tier matches and the things commentators don't say a word about blows my brain.

Where is the evidence? Where is the proof?

Anything else than a YouTube video? Like actual evidence? Please do me a favor and link just one single video, with a timestamp, of where you think cheating is going on. I can guarantee you I will be able to explain the "lock on" within the given context of the round/game. Casters usually don't say anything, because in order for them to cast the game, they have to be pretty knowledgeable about the game they're casting, and literally every situation I've ever seen players get accused from can be explained and are reasonable in the given context. Anybody with even crude gamesense can come to that conclusion, and so should you. "Locking on" to players through walls isn't indicative of anything, it never was and never will be.

Come up with real proof, like for example a statement from ESIC or a VAC banned account from a pro. Before that, it's baseless accusations that belong nowhere but the dumpster.

For last, how is this malicious to them? A random guy writes posts about them cheating on the BB forums?

You can't see how accusing somebody of cheating in a public forum can be a career-ending move? Alright. I've played Battlefield professionally back in 2012, so let's take this as an example. I've been on the receiving end of cheating accusations multiple times before in Battlefield games. Let's say somebody got hardcore rekt by me in the game. They're mad about it and they're creating a post on a public forum against me, falsely accusing me of cheating. That information is now out there, it's baseless and provably wrong, but it's out there nonetheless. Now, another shitter get's their cheeks clapped in the game. He's jumping onto Google and types in my name. Voila, there he is on the public forum which says to him in plain text: Christoph Smaul is cheating!

In a world maybe 30 years ago, this likely wouldn't be much of a problem, as people weren't deranged like they are today. Gen Z however love sensationalist BS, as soon as they read something like "xxx player is cheating!" on a forum without any evidence or proof, they're taking it at face value anyways, without fact-checking it at all. Now there's one guy who's reading on the public forum about me allegedly cheating. He has 10 friends he regularly plays the game with. When he logs into Teamspeak tomorrow, he'll tell them what he found out. Now there's 10 people who are under the impression I cheat. Each of these 10 friends has 10 more friends. Within hours, 100 people now have this falsified information. Each of these 100 friends have 10 more friends. You get where this is going. You'd be surpried how fast an entire community will "know" that you've been allegedly cheating because some dumbfuck posted a baseless "opinion" in a public forum.

Now imagine what would happen if I wanted to join a professional team. "Yeah, we know you're not cheating, but there is this negative publicity about you on the internet, and we would like to stay away from having that associated with our organisation". And if you think this wouldn't happen, oh boy do I have news for you.

The reason I don't provide any proof or try to go after anyone is because this is just my personal opinion.

And some opinions should better be left insinde of one's brain. Your right of free speech ends where somebody else's rights begin. You can't go into the public, blair out baseless, trash opinions that can easily damage somebody's reputation and ruin their life, without consequences.

I would also like to clarify that I never suffered from any kind of skill issue as they say.

Congratulations, nobody said that.

If you don't want to talk about the cheating off-topic stuff anymore, fine. However I would really like to know what you have to say about the Windows things and how poor work would influence the feeling of the computer depending on time of day and location.

I agreed on hardware and software both being culprits at one point, but I also agree on different small things causing different problems. There is no need to overexplain this. I personally had the daytime vs nighttime difference but it stopped at one point. Now my computer has a constant, weird, floaty but not too floaty feel, however everything is extremely tweaked and also extremely broken.

To not really fire up the other part of the discussion but still answer it, I want to state that I too am getting accused constantly even to this day. I have extremely high scores across games I've played and some communities marked me as a friend of certain cheat developers.
Despite false accusations and having friendships that lasted for years going down the drain, I still kind of enjoyed getting called that. It was a mark of skill and a reminder that I still had what it took to keep improving the way I wanted to. After a while the feeling faded but mentally was still a confirmation. Also Gen Z might be different but lately I've been seeing a lot more humility and not the typical mentally deranged behaviour that comes with competitive gaming. I would even call Gen Z too numb to everything, to the point where even gaming looks like some kind of side activity to them. Then again I can't know the other side of this, because everything I used to play had a daily peak player count of 500.
Conversations like this are good because we learn to articulate ourselves better and hopefully come to some kind of agreement. I accept that it's bad to throw around some harsh accusations even when I'm totally sure they are true, but the reason I do it is because this forum is filled with posts where people start coming up with professinals as an example even to the point where they disregard concrete evidence for the simple quiestion of: Why don't pros use it then?
