Don't sell a 30 Mbit circuit as 60 when all you can sustain is 30. To me this is just dishonesty on their part. In effect, what they have going is a burst rate, like old Frame Relay circuits. After the "upgrade", any transfers start out in the 60Mbit range, and over the course of about 15-20 seconds, tapers off to about 30, many times much less. Previously, I could peg out my home connection at 30Mbit. I have a 100 Mbit/sec connection at work, that I run. nPerf might be more reliable than speedtest How can the download speed drop like this, even lower than the upload speed?Ī.

Dark souls 3 xbox one key1/1/2024 ![]() Multiplayer in Dark Souls II uses the same format as its predecessors players have the choice between co-operative play in the form of being "summoned" into another player's game world either by soapstone or in-game covenant, or player-versus-player through "invading" other worlds or arena duels. Upon death, the player's entire collection of souls are dropped the player can recover their dropped souls by returning to the spot where they died, but if they die before picking them up, the souls are permanently lost. This is called hollowing and only drops to a set lower limit until the player expends a rare item to reverse it.The game uses a form of joint currency called "souls", which are used as both experience points for leveling up and also as currency for purchasing items from shops. Bad play is punished severely by most enemies, opportunities for recovering health are limited, with each death the player's maximum health is reduced. A sequel, Dark Souls III, was released in 2016.ĭark Souls II is an entry in the Dark Souls series, known for its difficulty, as both bosses and standard enemies have the potential to defeat the player in only a few hits. It contains the original game and its downloadable content with upgraded graphics, expanded online multiplayer capacity, and various other changes. A remastered version of the game, titled Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, was released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Windows in April 2015. Dark Souls II was released in March 2014 after some initial delays, with the Windows version being released the following month.ĭark Souls II was a critical and commercial success. Taking place in the kingdom of Drangleic, the game features both player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) gameplay. ![]() ![]() The second main installment of the Dark Souls series, it was released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March 2014 by FromSoftware in Japan and Bandai Namco Games internationally. Dark Souls II is an action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware. ![]() ![]() Valve saw a lot of profit from this system, as did users, who reportedly made $3 million by selling items on the Steam Workshop. The MannComony update in September 2010, which allowed the purchase of individual items, also proved to be hugely successful for Valve. Between 2007 to 2011, the game received hundreds of updates, all of which brought in new players and more money, according to Joe Ludwig, a Valve programmer.ĭuring the same time, Team Fortress 2 quadrupled its revenue, which then tripled, alongside its playerbase, once it became free to play. When it was first released, Team Fortress 2 was a paid title, but it switched to a free-to-play model in June 2011. Valve, who both developed and published Team Fortress 2, has always been pretty private when it comes to discussing their finances, so it’s no surprise that there’s not a lot of information about Team Fortress 2’s revenue over the years. Team Fortress 2 Revenue Over Time Team Fortress 2 YouTubers like Uncle Dane and SoundSmith, who initially started making content on the game over five years ago, still regularly upload videos on the game that attract a decent number of views. In comparison, Team Fortress 2 still receives a fair bit of interest on YouTube. Similarly to Team Fortress 2 breaking its concurrent player count on Steam in June 2021 due to a long-awaited update, the temporary increase in viewers on Twitch for the game in the same month was likely due to this too. ![]() The game’s highest peak of viewers was 80,009 on November 22nd, 2018, which it’s very unlikely to reach again seeing as its highest peak since then was 27,900 in June 2021. Interestingly, the game has actually never been overly popular on Twitch, indicated by an average of fewer than 300 viewers in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.Īlthough the number of viewers for Team Fortress 2 on the platform has risen since 2016, it’s by a very minute amount. In August 2021, Team Fortress 2 had an average of 456 viewers, with a peak of 9,600. With Team Fortress 2’s decent number of concurrent active players on Steam, you’d expect this interest to also transfer over to Twitch – but this isn’t the case.Īccording to Twitch Tracker, Team Fortress 2 has an average of 500 viewers on Twitch. Team Fortress 2 On Twitch Team Fortress 2 However, it’s worth noting that a lot of these players may actually be bots, which we’ll get to later. The game has tripled its number of concurrent players since 2007, showing that people’s interest in Team Fortress hasn’t slowed down over the last 14 years. While Steam Charts only dates back to July 2012 for Team Fortress 2, there were apparently 20,000 concurrent players between 2007 to 2011. Servers are still running for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, and thanks to backward compatibility, the game is also available to play on Xbox One and even Xbox Series X | S.Įven with the lack of updates, there are still some loyal and dedicated communities that play the game on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360/Xbox One, but PC is where you’ll find the majority of Team Fortress 2 players. Much of Team Fortress 2’s playerbase is on PC as the console versions haven’t been updated in over 10 years. Team Fortress 2 received a highly-anticipated update in June 2021 after going without one for a substantial amount of time, so the increase in interest during that month was likely due to this. For a 14-year-old game, it’s pretty impressive to reach record-breaking player counts not once, but twice in the space of a year. ![]() The previous peak was 147,360 players in December 2020. Despite being released in 2007, Team Fortress 2 peaked at 151,253 players on June 26th, 2021. Since then, Team Fortress 2 has maintained around 80,000 players, but in June 2021, the game broke its concurrent player count. ![]() In January 2021, Team Fortress had 83,142 concurrent players but shot up to 101,230 the following month. Team Fortress 2’s number of active players has steadily climbed over the last ten years, but 2021 seems to be the most it has risen. Throughout 2021, Team Fortress 2 has around 80,000 concurrent players, which is an increase from the previous year when it had an average of roughly 65,000. According to Steam Charts, Team Fortress 2 has 75,000+ concurrent players as of August 2021, with a peak of 92,436. Team Fortress 2 Active Player Figures Team Fortress 2Īlthough initially released well over a decade ago, Team Fortress 2 still has an active playerbase on PC, and that’s partly because Valve still somewhat regularly updates the game. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Panama City’s location provides a Gulf Coast gateway to shippers and consignees in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and the Carolinas. Over the next five years, the Port plans to increase its cargo tonnage to an annual level of approximately 2.1 to 2.4 million tons, and has committed to another $65 million in improvements. In recent years, the Port has invested over $50 million in new facilities and equipment. Port Panama City is a growing deep-water port and international gateway, handling a wide variety of cargo, and offers the best shipping connections to Mexico than any other port in the United States. The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a large scale and long-range plan that provides a 50-year vision for directing growth, development and environmental resource protection. The expansion area is located immediately to the west of the West Bay Sector Plan in Bay County and Walton County, Florida. Joe Company received approval for the Bay-Walton Sector Plan, an update and expansion of the West Bay Sector Plan. Approximately 39,000 acres will forever be preserved along West Bay and its tributary creeks as part of an environmental conservation program. In its first phase, over 1,000 acres is planned with “through-the-fence” access to the airport runway. The West Bay Sector Plan’s initial entitlements accommodate 4.4 million square feet of industrial, commercial and retail uses, 27,000 residential units and 900 marina slips. It is Florida’s first approved Sector Plan, allowing for planned development over the next 50 years.

During the American Civil War, she served as a training ship for the United States Naval Academy. She continued to serve as flagship in the Mediterranean and African squadrons, and she circled the world in the 1840s. ![]() The battle with Guerriere earned her the nickname " Old Ironsides" and public adoration that has repeatedly saved her from scrapping. Her first duties were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi-War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War.Ĭonstitution is most noted for her actions during the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom, when she captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five British warships: HMS Guerriere, Java, Pictou, Cyane, and Levant. She was built at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. Joshua Humphreys designed the frigates to be the young Navy's capital ships, and so Constitution and her sister ships were larger and more heavily armed and built than standard frigates of the period. The name "Constitution" was among ten names submitted to President George Washington by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering in March of 1795 for the frigates that were to be constructed. She was launched in 1797, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed. She is the world's oldest ship still afloat.

(Image/ Driven Racing Oil) Viscosities & Bearing Clearances for Oil “Splasher” Engines Note that as bearing clearances increase so does the viscosity of the oil recommended. ![]() This is Driven’s viscosity chart that offers suggestions for oil viscosity based on engine types of iron or aluminum blocks and also bearing clearances. ![]() Plus, a higher oil temperature also helps to reduce sludge buildup inside the engine which is caused when water mixes with oil and solidifies. Water easily combines with acids and if allowed to concentrate can cause bearing etching difficulties for the engine. Water enters the crankcase as an inevitable byproduct of combustion. But remember that 212 degrees F is where water evaporates which turns the water into steam where it can be removed via the PCV valve. Synthetics are a great alternative if the temp concerns you-or you can add an oil cooler to keep temperatures in line. As long as the engine oil does not spend too much time above 225 degrees F, a mineral oil is fine at 210 degrees F. A 210 degree F oil temp is just about right for most street engines as oil temp will almost always be higher than coolant temperature because oil is also cooling the engine. In regards to your Corvette-a 5w40 is likely a good selection but there are many levels to the relationship between oil temperature and oil viscosity. Now if I change thermostat and when electric fans come on it will help to thicken the oil and increase the oil pressure. Fortunately it has an oil pressure and engine oil temperature gauge so I can and will be shortly switching to 5w40 synthetic from 5w30 synthetic. On a different note, my ‘89 Corvette runs hot, oil temps over 210 and if I’m driving it hard they go even higher. Would you look at using the same table of clearances and oil temp for an old splasher engine? In the 0W-40 example, “40” signifies average viscosity, which guarantees optimum performance even at high temperatures.I read your story on what weight oil to use for a certain bearing oil clearance. In extremely hot areas, even an oil classed as “60” can be used, as it is highly viscous in its normal state. 10 would therefore represent very low-viscosity oil which is specifically designed for cold regions. The second part of the viscosity grade (the number after the “W”) indicates how viscous the oil is at high temperatures: the higher the number, the thicker the oil film. “0W” therefore denotes extremely low-viscosity oil, for use at low temperatures. The number before the “W” (Winter) indicates how viscous the oil is at low temperatures: the lower the number, the better the oil's fluidity. These specify the operating temperature range for which the oil is best suited. For multi-grade oils, this covers two grades e.g. The numbers above the oil application range define its SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) class. This results in greater lubrication when starting the engine from cold, reduced strain on the starter motor at low temperatures, and adequate lubrication at higher ambient and engine temperatures. They can maintain an optimal supply of oil to the engine in both hot and cold conditions. With temperature having little effect on their viscosity, multi-grade oils are better suited than single-grade oils to covering a wider temperature range. polymers such as polyester and polyisobutylene), so that their viscosity is only slightly reduced at higher temperatures. They are based on low-viscosity base oils and mixed with special additives (e.g. Multi-grade oils are the engine oils commonly used today. Their optimum performance makes these oils particularly suitable for high-performance engines such as the engine in your Porsche. Synthetic oils are manufactured by chemical synthesis and can be given very specific quality-enhancing properties. Semi-synthetic engine oils are considerably better quality, especially regarding their aging resistance and thermal properties. They can be manufactured relatively easily and cheaply by distilling and refining crude oil. Mineral oils are the most widely-used base oils. There are basically three different classes of engine oil, each with different properties. ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. ArchivesCategories |
