Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 427: Unsolvable flaw!
At Tianyu Internet Cafe, Chen Tianyu had an especially bright smile on his face. Starting from the first customer who showed up in the afternoon to ask about the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, several groups of people came one after another to ask about this game.
Fortunately, Chen Tianyu was far-sighted and asked the network administrator to quickly download "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and back it up to the Internet cafe server, so that subsequent players would not have to go through the trouble again.
Therefore, when faced with subsequent customer inquiries, Chen Tianyu could finally say with confidence: "Yes! We have PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in our Internet cafe, you can play it without worry."
Coupled with the arrival of the evening peak for Internet surfing in Internet cafes, Tianyu Internet Cafe unexpectedly welcomed a rare full occupancy rate, which was also the reason why Chen Tianyu's mouth was almost crooked with smiles.
Chen Tianyu could hardly remember the last time Tianyu Internet Cafe was packed with people. It was only in the first few years after it opened. Later, with the popularization of personal computers, the Internet cafe business continued to decline.
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the game League of Legends, which gave countless players the idea of playing games in Internet cafes, the Internet cafe business would probably be even bleaker than it is now.
Today, the game League of Legends has been popular for four or five years, and Chen Tianyu has no idea how long it will last. After all, Chen Tianyu has no idea about the development of e-sports and live streaming.
The most intuitive data for him is the attendance rate of his Internet cafe!
Although the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has just been launched on the first day of public testing, Chen Tianyu seems to have seen a hint of the former popularity of League of Legends...
If only this game could be as good as League of Legends... oh no, even half as good as it would be fine, wouldn't the internet cafe's business be able to continue?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianyu's smile became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but imagine a bright future. If the Internet cafe business could continue to be popular for a few more years, he wouldn't have to struggle anymore...
"Network administrator! Why the hell is this computer blue screen? I'm having so much fun playing it!"
"Fuck me too, blue screen as soon as I open the scope, what the hell is this!"
"What kind of rubbish is this? It can't even play a game. Why open an Internet cafe?"
Before Chen Tianyu could be happy for long, curses started to be heard in the Internet cafe.
After all, for most novice players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, collecting resources takes up the vast majority of the game time, while the time for actual fighting is relatively short.
Perhaps it is precisely because there is time to collect supplies as a prelude that most players are looking forward to the arrival of the firefight. After all, this is the real essence of this game.
However, after searching for supplies with great effort and running into the poisonous circle with great enthusiasm, just as I was preparing for a gunfight, I didn't expect that just as I aimed and was about to snipe at the enemy, the game crashed and a blue screen appeared!
This made the players dumbfounded, and many of the irritable guys couldn't hold back their anger and started cursing. They had worked so hard to accumulate supplies, and they weren't even starting to feel good about it, and now they were gone?
Who can tolerate this?
The network administrator of Tianyu Internet Cafe came over and pretended to take a look. "It's okay, it's just stuck. Just restart it."
However, this is not an isolated case. Although only a few people play this game in Internet cafes, the network administrators are overwhelmed with the continuous game crashes and blue screens.
The omnipotent "restart method" can only be a perfunctory solution. Problems keep occurring one after another. Obviously, it is either a problem with the game, or... it can only be a problem with their Internet cafe.
Chen Tianyu took a look, picked up a few bottles of drinks from the counter, and walked over with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, don't worry, Xiao Zhang, check if there is something wrong with the machine. Drink some water first to calm down."
Seeing the boss's good attitude and offering him water, the grumpy old man softened his attitude a little, but he still complained: "Boss, your computer is too old, it can't even play games. I finally found a 98k and an 8x scope..."
"Me too. I just opened the scope and was about to shoot someone far away, but the screen went blue..."
"Boss, you need to upgrade . I think the graphics card is not working. It can't run anymore!"
"That's right, boss. This game will definitely be popular. If we can't play it here, we won't come here and will find another internet cafe..."
Chen Tianyu smiled and comforted her, "Of course, of course. I've just been thinking about upgrading the equipment and environment of the Internet cafe. I'll definitely meet everyone's needs!"
This scene not only happened in Internet cafes, but many players also found that some of their own computers could not run this game. As a result, they could only go to the live broadcast platform and complain in the live broadcast rooms of the anchors.
"This game requires too much configuration. My computer can't even run it..."
"I spent so much time downloading it, but I didn't expect that I can't play it!"
"What's the configuration of the anchor's computer? I'll go get one too..."
Zhou Dongsheng saw all these comments mixed in the live broadcast room. He immediately understood what the problem was.
To be honest, this problem is more or less related to this butterfly. You have to know that it is only the end of 2015 now.
Compared to the global popularity of the game Chicken Eating in the previous life, the time when the global Chicken Eating craze was set off is still a long way off, not to mention that the time for the game to really become popular in China will be delayed for some time.
In the previous life, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was officially launched in 2017, and it was not until 2018 that it became popular all over the country.
Zhou Dongsheng vaguely remembers that it was around 2018 when he was taken to an Internet cafe by a friend and played the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" for the first time. Even the account was borrowed from a friend.
After all, it was difficult for Zhou Dongsheng to accept the fact that he had to pay 100 yuan for an account at that time. Zhou Dongsheng remembered that he was still in the school dormitory area, holding an m416, and performed a highlight operation of "1v4" to destroy the team, winning praises from his friends such as "Wow, awesome".
Moreover, after licking the entire team's delivery, Zhou Dongsheng, who was naturally fat, was carrying a 98k with an 8x scope and holding a fully equipped m416. With his confidence swollen after the team was wiped out, he was about to kill everyone...
Standing on the top of the dormitory building, Zhou Dongsheng opened the 98K's eightfold scope. Before he could see the scenery in the distance clearly, the computer screen flashed and turned blue!
This made Zhou Dongsheng dumbfounded at the time, and he still remembers this scene vividly...
Even the general Internet cafe configuration in 2018 could not meet the running requirements of this game, let alone at this time at the end of 2015?
Both Zhou Dongsheng and the other anchors subconsciously ignored this problem. After all, computer configuration is a basic requirement for them and they have no concerns in this regard.
Under the influence of this "survivor bias", people naturally do not notice that the configuration requirements of this game are so high that they are difficult to match for the personal computers of ordinary players.
Especially nowadays, most players have only one requirement for computer configuration: to be able to play League of Legends!
In this regard, the reason why the game League of Legends has become popular all over the country is closely related to its low hardware requirements.
After figuring this out, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but frown. This was a difficult problem. This problem would undoubtedly become a major flaw that would restrict the development of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds!
There is no way to solve the hardware problem , or even no solution!
