At Tianyu Internet Cafe, Chen Tianyu had a 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 asking about this game.
Fortunately, Chen Tianyu had the foresight 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 need to bother again.
Therefore, in the face of subsequent customer inquiries, Chen Tianyu could finally say confidently: "Yes! Our Internet cafe has "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", you can just play it without worry."
Coupled with the arrival of the Internet cafe's evening peak, Tianyu Internet Cafe unexpectedly received a full attendance rate, which is why Chen Tianyu almost smiled crookedly.
Chen Tianyu can hardly remember the last time Tianyu Internet Cafe was full of seats. This situation only existed in the first few years of opening. Later, with the popularity of personal computers, the Internet cafe business continued to decline.
If the emergence of the League of Legends game hadn't given countless players the idea of opening Internet cafes, then the business of Internet cafes would probably be even more miserable than it is now.
Nowadays, the game League of Legends has been popular for four or five years. Chen Tianyu has no idea how long it will remain popular. After all, Chen Tianyu has no idea about e-sports development and live broadcasting.
The most intuitive data for him is the attendance rate of his Internet cafe!
Although the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has just been in open beta for the first day, it seems that Chen Tianyu can see a trace of the popular League of Legends in the past...
If this game can be as good as League of Legends... Oh no, even if it is only half, then wouldn't the Internet cafe business be able to continue its business?
Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Tianyu's face became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but think of the bright future. If the Internet cafe business could continue to be popular for a few more years, he wouldn't need to worry anymore...
"Network administrator! Damn it, this computer has a blue screen. I'm having so much fun!"
"Fuck me too, I get a blue screen as soon as I turn on the camera, what a joke!"
"What kind of junk computer can't even play a game? Why open an Internet cafe?"
Before Chen Tianyu could be happy for a long time, curses began to appear one after another in the Internet cafe.
After all, for most novice players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, collecting resources takes up most of the game time, but the actual fighting time is relatively short.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the time to collect supplies that most players are looking forward to the firefight. After all, this is the real essence of this game.
However, after working hard to search for supplies, running poison into the circle with great interest, and preparing to fight with others, I didn't expect that just when I opened the camera and prepared to sniper with others, the game crashed and a blue screen appeared!
This directly made the players dumbfounded. Many grumpy old men couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts and directly cursed. The supplies they had worked so hard to accumulate have not started to feel good yet, are they gone?
Who can bear this?
The network administrator of Tianyu Internet Cafe came over and pretended to look at it, "It's okay, it's just stuck. Just restart it and it'll be fine."
However, this situation is not an isolated case. Although there are only a few people playing this game in Internet cafes, as the game crashes and blue screens appear one after another, the network administrator cannot help but be overwhelmed.
The all-purpose "restart method" can only be perfunctory. Problems have occurred one after another. It is obviously either a problem with the game or... it can only be a problem with their Internet cafe.
Chen Tianyu took a look, grabbed a few bottles of drinks from the counter, and walked over with a smile on his face, "Hey, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, Xiao Zhang, please check if there is something wrong with the machine first, drink water first to relieve your anger."
Seeing that the boss had such a good attitude and even gave him water, the grumpy old man's attitude softened slightly, but he still complained: "Boss, your machine is too old and can't even play games. I just picked it up with great difficulty."
98k and eight times lens..."
"I am the same. I just opened the camera and was about to shoot farther, and I immediately got a blue screen..."
"Boss, the machine in your Internet cafe needs to be upgraded. It's probably because the graphics card is bad and it can't run anymore!"
"That's right, boss, this game will definitely become popular. If you can't play it, we won't come. Find another Internet cafe..."
Chen Tianyu smiled apologetically and said comfortingly: "I'm sure, I've been thinking about upgrading the equipment and environment of the Internet cafe recently. I'll definitely meet everyone's needs!"
And this scene not only happened in Internet cafes, but many players also found that some of their own computers could not run the game, so 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..."
“It took me so long to download it, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t play it!”
"What configuration does the anchor's computer have? I'll get one too..."
Such barrages were mixed in the live broadcast room. Zhou Dongsheng could see them clearly at a glance, and he immediately understood what the problem was.
Speaking of which, this problem is more or less related to his butterfly. You must know that it is only the end of 2015.
Compared to the time when the chicken game became popular all over the world in the previous life, the timing of setting off the global chicken craze is still far behind. What's more, the time when the chicken game really becomes popular in China will have to be delayed for some time.
In my previous life, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was officially launched in 2017, and it was not until 2018 that it became popular across the country.
Zhou Dongsheng vaguely remembered that around 2018, 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 idea of buying an account for 100 yuan at that time. However, Zhou Dongsheng remembered that he was still in the school dormitory area at that time, holding an m416, and played a "1v4" to destroy the team.
The highlight operation won a lot of compliments from my friends as "fuck you, that's awesome".
Moreover, after licking the whole team's express delivery, the fat Zhou Dongsheng was carrying a 98k with an eight-fold lens, a fully equipped m416, and the self-confidence he had gained after destroying the team, and was about to kill everyone...
Standing at the top of the dormitory building, as soon as the 98K eight-fold mirror was turned on, before Zhou Dongsheng could see the distant scenery clearly, the computer screen flashed and turned into a blue screen!
This made Zhou Dongsheng dumbfounded at the time, so much so that this scene is still fresh in his memory...
Even the general Internet cafe configuration at that time in 2018 could not meet the running needs of this game, let alone at the end of 2015?
As for this issue, both Zhou Dongsheng and other anchors subconsciously ignored it. After all, computer configuration is a basic need for them, and they would not have any concerns in this regard.
Under the influence of this "survivor bias", it is natural not to notice that the configuration requirements of this game are so high that it is difficult for ordinary players' personal computers to match it.
Especially nowadays, most players only have one requirement for computer configuration, which is to be able to play League of Legends!
In this aspect, the reason why the League of Legends game is so popular all over the country is inseparable from the low hardware requirements.
After thinking about this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but frown. This is difficult to solve. This problem will undoubtedly become a major flaw that restricts the development of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!
There is no way to solve the hardware problem, it can even be said that there is no solution!
