If nothing else, ths is a good example of why youtube should continue to exist. At least it plays a video in full when I click on it, instead of playing 30 seconds or so, then pauses for eternal loading. I suppose having funding to improve infrastructure does have some practical value.

The video is just being transcoded, if you check in some hours it should be fine and you can always download it.

Still a issue with the platform, if a video isn’t ready for playback, it should clearly indicate as such.

It does say with huge letters the video is transcoding when it does. XD

Not sure when that was supposed to happen, but I never saw it. Possibly should consider waiting to make your post until all transcoding is actually done, instead of expecting everyone to check back in a few hours.

You're right, I will do that for the next ones. I just couldn't hold my excitement. XD

Understood, and thank you for taking the suggestion, will be less confusion that way!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No worries, hopefully I can do it today! :)

Just finished benchmarking. Vermintide 2 is about 15% faster on Linux while Doom Eternal is about 25% faster on Windows. I will have the video up as soon as it renders. :)

Video is up. Still transcoding, I will post it normally once it's done. :)
