If you're outright deaf in one ear, you could try shooting a hole in one panel before reinforcing a 2-panel wall. Then stand sideways; if you hear the charge go down clearly, it's the panel you broke, and if it's muffled, it's the other one.

Sound carries through the bullethole even though there is a reinforcement on it? Didn't know that! Can try doing that.

This game has extremely jittery frame drops for me in multiplayer, I've googled the problem a fair amount and tried all the supposed fixes I could find, but nothing seems to work. It works fine in situations, but online it's a mess. None of my other games have this problem, at least not regularly (Titanfall 2 had it awhile back but I never found a solution and it seemed to get patched out) anyone had this and fixed it?

I'm pretty sure they patched that out. Not 100%. If they didn't, then yes it is very useful for hearing plants.

That's how I do bandit trick on Chalet, I shoot or ask someone to blast me a hole (shotugn holes scare the attackers) in garage doors and then reinforce over it.

But two shots into a barricade saves your life as an anchor a lot of times.

If you have Discord, do you have either the overlay enabled or hardware acceleration enabled? I found just having the overlay open with or without acceleration would cause drops. Even if the overlay did not show up in-game.

Oof my luck yesterday was just no bueno. Got crushed in ranked and casual. I would do ok but i keep getting on teams where one guy gets like 5 kills and i have 2 and everyone else dies within seconds of engagement. Which is super abnormal. Didnt help that i dont think i matched into a new game the whole night. It was always a match that someone had bailed on due to the other team just destroying.

Wonder if its just because it was friday or something

Welcome home boys!
I just got this game at the end of the steam sale and well it is a blast (heh). Glad I went for the full edition, gently caress unlocking operators in this game at 10000+ renown each. What a nightmare that would be. Mira, Ela, Hibana, and Dokki are generally my go to ops. Not sure why the men often feel so meh, but it is what it is. SMGs that melt people is the way to go, and if you can't do that at least the gadgets should annoy the hell out of the enemy.

Also, this is the first game I regularly play where 144hz monitor feels like a legit advantage. Maybe it is the 2008 feeling visuals, but I can just whip around like crazy and the game is so brilliantly fluid.

What they REALLY need to do is give me the ability to alter username colors. This has gone over well in other discords and is a net gain for all involved.

Only extra color we have is the "bad players" tag and that has to be earned.

No but it's also only a frame or two of extra input lag which isn't going to affect you.

This guy has been posting fairly comprehensive videos on input delay and netcode performance for a while, and I haven't seen anyone correct it. Timecode set to the relevant graph, but I'll just post it the graph by itself anyway:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc28SH2ESA4&t=249s



I accidentally clipped out the part where red is the longest delay, blue is the average delay, and green is the shortest delay.

If you need to run borderless or windowed mode because of multi-monitor issues, cool. But siege has no problems being minimized. I've never run into it crashing or anything, and why not have as little input delay as possible?

Oh right, I forgot, there's not even any real difference at all in input delay between Fullscreen and Borderless when you have VSync on.

I constantly alt-tab during any kind of downtime and fullscreen adds extra waiting time when alt-tabbing to/from the game.

Also I'd be surprised if there are even a dozen people in this thread pro enough at shootman games to be affected by 1-2 frames of extra input lag.

I just don't see why not, I have a fairly old cpu, two monitors, but a decent graphics card, and I frequently alt+tab for pocketcasts in Chrome and other apps like discord, and I don't notice a delay beyond it minimizing. So from my pov there are no downsides. :shrug: It might be miniscule, but if there's no downsides, I'll take my single frame and wring every last bit out of it

One of the main reasons I like borderless is so i can do stuff on my other screen. I have no great way of telling when the next round starts with it minimised.

VV If thats the case I might try it even though 2 frames at my level means nothing. But certainly turn vsync off, its off by default in most multiplayer focused games these days and in some its really bad.

the game icon in the taskbar flashes orange doesn't it?

if I'm doing full screen and get a message popup it slows the game to a crawl though so I don't like using it. I hadn't thought about no vsync though, I might have to try that.

Is there some kind of free weekend going on? Because the amount of toxic players is extreme this weekend, every match has been at least 1 cheater or tk'er so far.

edit: Here is a cautionary tale about the mistake that buying the Starter Edition is. It took me 400 hours of playing to unlock all the starting operators and 2 of the newer ones.

Agreed. Got to point earlier where i spawn into a round already started run forward watch as 2 people on team kill other two and then begin fighting each other and was like nah and quit. Next game went great but im at the point where if people are tking im not hanging around. This weekend has been rough.
