XIM APEX Discussions / Re: Most "PC like" experience

« on: 12:04 PM - 10/16/18 »

just want to be able to eventually switch over to PC and not have to hard of a time transitioning.

Sorry to say, but that's probably not going to happen. It's really hard in most games to get a highly similar feel to PC unless you are a very low sens player and like a very slow turn speed. Aim Assist on console is also going to make your PC aim moderately trash. You're going to build muscle memory around what counts as on target on console and it won't be anywhere near on target on PC. The XIM is as close as you're going to get to PC feel, but it's still pretty far off except for COD and Battlefield. That said, it's worlds better than using a controller.

I do not. I've never messed around with curves on my XIM

Well, as soon as you use curves it's not going to feel like PC. Curves make your control something other than 1:1. PC is always going to be 1:1 unless the game is broken and has added mouse acceleration.

General Discussion / Re: “Xim is cheating” “Xim users should be banned” etc

My biggest fear is, now that Xim is detectable, does it mean that we are going to be able to be banned in the future for using it?

XIM IS NOT DETECTABLE

So xim users were kicked for what reason then?

I think what he means is XIM is not specifically detectable. What Epic is doing is a heuristic analysis on player movement to determine if it looks like a stick or a keyboard. That’s why XIM users who use a G13 or Sony Nav for movement aren’t kicked.

I’m trying to say what is a probable time frame that there will be a new download available via app that is going to fix this Fortnite issue with disconnections.

The fix is in the firmware, not the Fortnite ST. You’re going to need to find a way to flash your firmware.

If you can’t upgrade your MacOS to a recent version, then you can definitely run Windows in a VM. You’re not completely blocked.

Did an updated ST fix this for KB&M users? I didn't realize this was a problem until a saw a Youtube video today from Chaos that talked about it.

I use a Sony Nav and have fortnite ST v 1.5.
I haven't had a single issue or been kicked from any games.

Chaos' video also said that they were banning XIM users. Is this true? or are people just being kicked from the lobby?

People are just getting kicked, not banned. This fix is a XIM firmware change. There is no new ST.

The last thing XIM needs right now is attention as a hardware aimbot for PC.

I dont care tbh buy whatever you want why should my opinion matter to anyone. I just find it kinda funny people buy a mac for anything other than video or sound editing. Other than that its a way overpiced pc with specs far below what you are paying for. Plus theres always issues like this where not having windows screws you.

Actually, there are a ton more reasons than that. You’re likely just not familiar enough with the product and are just parroting what you’ve heard. There are tons of issues where I’d be screwed running a PC instead of a Mac. Both Mac and Windows are in a good place right now, but different people need different things for different reasons. Demeaning someone because they didn’t make the same decision you did is a hallmark of immaturity.

Who buys a mac anyway you deserve to wait longer for your own poor decision making.

Don’t turn this into a PC vs Mac thing. There are many reasons to have a Mac, including personal preference. The only thing that would be poor decision making would be spending money based on feedback from an internet stranger.

Guys - mist makes the STs and OBsIV does most of the firmware stuff. Nothing with what's going on with Fortnite is preventing mist from making STs. Mist has said in several places that Black Ops 4 should get an ST within the normal time frame it takes to make new COD STs.

Guys - calm down. The fix is experimental right now. Once it’s fully validated it’ll be added to the mainline Apex build and the XIM4 build. XIM4 isn’t low priority like you seem to be implying.

+1

As I said earlier, we won the battle but the war is ongoing... Epic has 300M/month in revenue to try and stop XIM devs, I have zero doubt they have a dedicated employee(s) lurking/posting/trolling various forums, hope that mods and others keep that in mind.

I would still like to donate via PayPal.

Thanks again!

Thing is, if Epic gets heavier handed about how they're doing this, they're just going to start affecting a ton of controller players.

@#$% its trending anywhere on reddit that has to do with games

Which is going to make it that much funnier when XIM gets right around it.

We need a Mac Apex update please!

There will be one when the firmware is done testing. The process to release the Mac flash tool is too involved to do it for every beta.
