UPDATE 7 JANUARY
Been having this weird serious disconnections every 30sec-1min since 3 nights ago to certain services like Ragnarok Mobile (Thailand) and Spotify (US). Anyone from Sarawak/Sabah also facing this?

Initially suspecting it's related to a major fiber cable cut incident in Philippines but unable to confirm:

S2G.my community servers - L4D2 and Kf2 back!

Vyrnach — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 14:42:08 +0800

S2G.my is a (mainly) PC gaming community and blogosphere (still pretty empty) which also hosts public community game servers. The main reasoning was lack of local servers for some games that allow community servers like Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 (this was true until about 4 months ago but Valve has since out of nowhere started hosting many public servers for both TF2 and L4D2). Apart from being able to host local servers that me and my friends can enjoy of course.

We're is open to suggestions/requests for community servers for our Singapore server but please note that we reserve the right to close down the server without warning if we found out the server is underused. We may have more servers possibly in Malaysia in the future

Current servers:
Left 4 Dead 2

Killing Floor 2:

[SOLVED] Old rig not booting without GPU

Vyrnach — Tue, 10 May 2016 11:59:11 +0800

Disclaimer: I have been working with PCs for many years now and have solved many issues by myself over the years until I faced this problem

[YOUTUBE]eNkocsj039A[/YOUTUBE]

UserBenchmark link

OS: Windows 10 64bit
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 - 61.3%
RAM: Kingston 99U5471-056.A00LF 99U5471-011.A01LF 10GB - 34.7%
MBD: Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3

PSU: Gigabyte 550W

Finally got a new awesome rig and moved my current 660TI card to the new rig. Right after that, the old rig always restarts while trying to boot into everything (windows 7,8,10, recovery media like cd and pendrive). It happens when it's booting into the OS or media I connected (a few seconds after, the boot from sd card phase). I confirmed that this is NOT related to my hard disk or my OS like drivers as it still happens even after I disconnected all the HDD.

As soon as I plug a GPU into it, everything just works. It sounds like a bad joke but my old rig just misses having a GPU connected to it? Will add screenshots and video soon when I can

What I've tried:
Isolating individually all other parts like RAM, Hard disk, OS (drivers)
Tweaking every settings in the BIOS including graphics settings like force set iGPU as main graphics adapater
Updating to the latest BIOS
Resetting BIOS by doing it in BIOS menu and force reset by taking out CMOS
Inspecting the actual motherboard and found no issues

What I think I have to do:
Get a new cheap mobo since I plan to use this old rig as a server

UNIFI30 night stability issues due to router

Vyrnach — Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:53:08 +0800

I feel like this issue deserves a dedicated thread. Had UNIFI for a few months already and had no problems at all. Then about 1 month ago my connection starts to go haywire at night. I brushed it off as something temporarily caused by maintenance or something (there was a letter about some maintenance). One month later and still happening and getting even worst.

Downloading and browsing slightly slower but nothing major but other activities like online gaming and even VOIP are severely affected. Currently actively engaging with a TM tech person regarding this and will update accordingly.
Tech guy came over and made some changes on my gateway 'port' and asked me to try again. Nothing changed. He suggested that it might be router problem as I also heard from other people saying changing their router helped.

If anyone has managed to solve this issue, please share your experience!

13/1 Edit: A friend had this problem 'fixed' by changing his router. Will confirm further. Tech guy contacted again and he said it is now a 'known problem' and will get back to me. Will be rerouted to a 'TM engineer'

14/1 Edit: It's confirmed that the issue has been resolved for my friend after he changed the router. Will test further on my side today before I will proceed to buy a replacement too

18/1 Edit: My friend that had his problem resolved is using a not so high end Asus N12 router. TM engineer who is using VIP10 with stock router does not have this issue. I still have this issue but recently I've seen 'some' improvements for my side (Kuching)

Personal theory on why this is happening
Short version: The router provided by TM is so lousy (TM tech: specs are below minimum for fiber optics)
Long version: The router fails to cope with a more congested/stressed fiber optical signal which is clearly evident during peak hours that your connection gets 'flooded'/over buffered/bufferfloat to the point where your connection stability degrades. In other words, your router is bottle-neck(ing) what is otherwise a really fast and stable connection. A better router that has a much better specification are able to handle this amount of stress and therefore would result in a more stable connection overall. This is made even worst due to the sudden influx of subscribers to the UNIFI30 package

Gaming server hosting question

Vyrnach — Thu, 22 Oct 2015 12:35:18 +0800

Just wondering if anyone here or know someone who has experience/expertise in hosting dedicated game servers. I only have 5Mbps upstream now (may change to 10Mbps if deem fit) and so far have been very impressed with what I'm able to host and would possibly like to take this further.

So far hosted a few servers without any issue on my gaming rig. But because this is my rig, I can't do it dedicated so I'm looking for an actual server. Planning to do:
2 KillingFloor2, 2 TF2 (mvm and 24 player) and 1 L4D2 server

Would an average spec server be enough?:
Intel Xeon 5*** 3Ghz
16GB ECC 667 RAM

Trackmania 2: Stadium

Vyrnach — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 22:43:58 +0800

The OLD Trackmania Stadium is finally back and it's a pure eye candy

Currently open beta but no 'REAL' confirmation on whether it is F2P except for one of their community admins saying:

QUOTE

There will be a free access at release and the full version will be 9€99. I believe it is a safer model than the in-game advertising nowadays, and than the freezone off course.

However, another community staff went on to say:

QUOTE

There was also the idea that a basic version of MP² Stadium would be free, and with the purchase for ~10€ you would unlock more features. At the moment this is valid only for the actual open beta phase.

But it might still change at the final release.

Difference between free and premium players (if it does go free):

QUOTE

At the moment, the free access should be a station with time attack and a demo campaign. The paying version will have a full campaign, the official times, the custom modes, datas and other Maniaplanet services, including the planets and planets related services.

Sabah-Sarawak UNIFI Thread

Vyrnach — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:06:47 +0800

[Major issues processing applications. Will update accordingly]
Free bill until 31 December 2019 (pro-rated based on "service activation date") for both existing and unifi users
https://unifi.com.my/campaign/paynothing
Important notes:
1. Please note that there is no new CPE (device) provided under this promo (if high speed plan but old router, likely you'll need to fork out your own money to buy a proper router)
2. If you terminate your service subscription within the contract period, you will be charged with the remaining months of your package fee as pentalty (Instead of RM500?)

Note: Information below may no longer updated or maintained

UNIFI Connection issue reports and history: https://s2g.my/tm-unifi-streamyx-2018-netwo...ysis-and-fixes/

Are you using UNIFI now in Sabah/Sarawak? Please post your Speedtest, experience or anything you willing to share regarding UNIFI!

What is known (TL;DR version):
1. UniFi (30&50Mbps) and UniFi 100Mbps is now available everywhere for all eligible areas
2. No bandwidth caps in the foreseeable future unless specified
3. Contract period of 24 months and termination during contract period penalty of RM500 (may subject to changes and terms)
4. UniFi30 and UniFi50's upload speed has been updated as follow (not important unless you're into hosting and uploading content):
UniFi30 - from 5Mbps to 10Mbps
UniFi50 - from 10Mbps to 20Mbps
If you are still having the old upload speed, you must call 100 and tell your "account still using old setting". No need for any technician to come in your premise even if they say so (happened to me)
5. Existing users Sarawak and Sabah of 30Mbps and 50Mbps (and possibly others) are eligible for a RM10 upgrade to the next tier. Example if you're using 30Mbps, you only need to pay RM10 more every month to get 50Mbps and so on. This is a time limited and possibly 1-time offer. Personal opinion: if using long term, you are crazy not to take up this offer!

Will I be charged for installation?
http://i.imgur.com/zP0tGZz.jpg
Important Note: Most common installation that does not require 'extended' internal wiring is FREE. If technician still say otherwise, just tell them this is not the case. If they still insist on payment just request a receipt. I am hearing reports of installations being charged even though it should be free

[Sarawak] Streamyx old package to Blockbuster

Vyrnach — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:12:36 +0800

Couldn't find any other thread about this. Has anyone in Kuching upgraded from the old RM66 (512) or RM71 (1024) to the any of the current Blockbuster packages and have any real improvements at all to their connection. Especially connection quality and international ping wise
