HughesNet, Gaming, and how to post here
Anyone else play a lot of games on Hughes? I do really good with RTS games, World of Warcraft, and oddly enough, Left 4 Dead 2 works great, as does my beloved Fallout 76. The only games I had trouble with were the EA shooter games, and Grand Theft Auto V.
With GTAV, I was never able to connect except through a VPN. Interestingly, after I did everything they tried, including calling HughesNet, I suggested rather bluntly that they must have banned HughesNet IP addresses. I ended up being able to play almost immiediently after, and recieved an email from someone there outside of tech support that apologized for the troubles
Finally, this is a weird one, but when I make longer messages on here, I get them "**bleep**", since I was telling a longer version of that story. Why is that?
Edit: Im also unable to choose any other label. Hope this isnt a problem to post or anything
Danny, the only label available for this section of the site is the only one you can choose.
As for the bleeping, it's a known issue that started not very long ago, and the Hughesnet staff here is aware of it. The length of the post doesn't matter; the bleeping is random and can bleep out one word or a whole sentence or more.
The lovely bleep issue. GRRRRR!
I've taken to copying my posts before I hit that "Post" button. If it doesn't post properly, I can try to do so again, though the same thing often bleeps again.
What's really frustrating is that there's no rhyme or reason to it, so it's not like there is anything one can avoid typing that will keep it from happening. Well, anything beyond what we already know will cause it, like cursing and trying to post certain abbreviations.
I know I don't come around much anymore, but this bleep crap is friggen annoying to no damned end!
