Set the server to Automatic and try to get Dubai server on Discord, staying on Dubai server solves the Discord voice issue. You can get a bot that stays in the channel 24/7 so the server region stays as Dubai.

Anyone willing to start a twitter trend aimed at bringing this issue to PTA? #FreeDiscordinPakistan or something could help if everyone in this thread is on board. Would be ideal if someone knows of an influential person who could start this.

Thing is, I have no reach on Twitter for this movement to be of any positive consequence. Need a big influencer in the gaming industry to kick it off for people to retweet and share the same.

Our last resort is Waqar Zaka. I remember the last time as well, gamers rushed to him and he got the PTA issue trending in merely 12 hours and PTA had to clarify within 2 days. It was the same lag/packet loss issue.

From my understanding, WZ pounced on PTA for the nation-wide gaming lag issue because a lot of Pakistani gamers were streaming and earning from an e-sports space, a field WZ has always worked to expand in Pakistan and PTA was screwing up said gamers' revenue stream in the process of monitoring traffic.

Are people in Pakistan earning via Discord? I feel like WZ would have no real motive for a cause like this. My thoughts for an influential person for this trend actually went to someone who does podcasts and also uses Discord either regularly or occasionally.

There is some serious issue with Internet in Pakistan from past 2+ months data packets randomly go missing without any traceback causing issue with discord and teamspeak and i think it it even stops data for whatsapp video and video calls and most importantly in p2p games including destiny 2 and warframe where it de-sync you fro msession causing disconection issues , i have complained it to my isp but they say no such issue , this issue is on all isp including mobiles and land based internet and happens on both PTCL PIE based networks and TW based networks m anyone else having same issue or noticed ?
I have noticed this as well and after 2 years of torment, I have decided to do something about it.
Here's a link to a petition I have made to the PTA, https://chng.it/q4ngVMWWbL
Hopefully it will get some traction and maybe PTA will do something about it.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
