Quoting: TheRiddickTraditionally to achieve stereoscopic you needed the video card to process 2 renders per frame, one for each eye, that is no longer required as proven by NVIDIA and a some VR helmet makers.

Do you have a link for that? No matter what, you need to have 2 pictures/views/renders for stereoscopic vision, and of course have to be different from each other. It doesn't work any other way. Maybe you mean that the engines have made improvements in sharing as much processing and ressources as possible for those 2 pictures/views/renders?

Quoting: barottoFair enough, just remember the less fortunate people out there suffering with their crappy 7mbit ADSL...
Also, good luck! :)

7Mbit is crappy? I don't even want to know what my 2Mbit would be called... :(

Thanks for your answer! :)

Well, I would welcome playing a video on hover! A website where there's movement and animation everywhere can be a strain on the eye. I would say it is not needed, and it stresses resources and the human eye.

Quoting: barottoThe itch.io home page is ridiculous though. It's so chock-full of gifs that it saturates my bandwidth taking almost a minute to fully load. And after it's loaded it uses 100% of a CPU core doing nothing. This is piss poor web design. In comparison steampowered.com takes 3 secs to load and 0% CPU.

I don't understand why they don't use HTML5 video. It's not a new thing by far. Shitty looking dither, ~90% waste of bandwidth... why?

Quoting: PicoboomScanning the list, and discounting the invalid links and non-english services, I'm left with guildbit [External Link], which is exactly the sort of site that beginners and average users need: Simple and jargon-free. Is it secure? I couldn't say. But if Mumble and Murmer were rolled into a client that offered guildbit level user-friendliness, I wouldn't be writing any of this. I'd be using it.

Yeah, that site is cool. Just fire it up, tell your friends the address, and there you go. About the security of such sites: You can't know. It's best practice to assume your data isn't safe, if you are not in control of the hardware. But I don't think there's any big data kraken behind it, it's a rather small site.

Quoting: PicoboomGuildbit accolades aside, the home-desktop gaming crowd needs simple instructions to set up a server if they are going to use M&M, I think.

You are right. There is no easy way for regular users to get Murmur running. But even then, you have the problem that you would have to tell your friends your new IP every day, except you have a Dynamic DNS account and configured it with your hardware. Yet another thing that is absolutely not common to do or know (how to) for the regular user.

It would be nice to have a single and portable executable file (murmur.appimage), that you just fire up and you're done. For that to work without Dynamic DNS, there would need to be a master server that just tells clients where to find a certain Murmur server - nothing more. The actual communication does not run over this master server. Syncthing is doing it like this.

There are many guides how to set up DDNS, and there are many guides how to set up Murmur. But none of them match what the regular user needs. I think it has to be done in software, just like you suggested. Hm...

What kind of guide is needed? A guide for installing Murmur on a local machine (home server or your gaming desktop), or on a rented server with full access? There are also many hosters who are offering servers for Mumble. https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Hosters [External Link]

Quoting: jasondaigostill having my domain and email shit. but seriously: what a waste

That means you have your own email server running on a rented server? Or do you mean an email address connected with your personal domain?

Quoting: Picoboom"Sever presented a certificate which failed verification,"
uhhh.
"The certificate is self-signed, and untrusted,"
Gahhhh! Close! Close! Close!

I have to agree that this is a problem. But it is a problem that Mumble/Murmur should not solve. The server admins of any Murmur server can use a certificate which is verificated by trusted organizations, just like websites do. This is rather important for security. That the certificate is self signed just means that no third party organization will provide means of verification that this certificate is still safe. So you have to solely trust the admins that their certificate is still OK.

I don't think this message should be removed. Because it potentially *is* a risk. But for a matter of fact: If this is important to you, you wouldn't even touch Discord with a stick. With Discord, you can be quite sure that everything you type can end up where you don't want it to be.

Quoting: XpanderPeople who say mumble is better, you cant really compare those 2. Discord is not just a VoiceChat but also chat, gametracking, streaming and other fun stuff.

Discord can visually stream games (like OBS or Steam Broadcasting)?

I have no problem with this service. It seems quite easy to use. I use it occasionally.

But they are about to generate a big following and wait until enough users are depending on the service. Then they will start to make money out of this. Be it adds, be it marketing, be it selling the platform for billions. That's OK, that's how their business works. But don't expect me to believe that they are doing it because they are super nice and neat.

Also: Their odd shtick using... um... certain language is somehow bothering me. :D But it's ok. They just seem to be genuinely "stoked" to announce their "super slick" app...
