yeah. a lot of people don't realize that smoke was the mastermind behind the bartlett university attack because he hated the architecture so much

the entire premise of siege is like Clancy Civil War™.

That's exactly what I was thinking

That's why Bartlett was so pristine when it was added to rotation. It was before the gas attack, an event to help you understand why Smoke snapped and bombed it

It's time for your yearly reminder that this is actually canon in the Tom Clancy books! Also in the books it's noted that Rainbow operatives bitch about lag and hit detection, so Siege's netcode acting up is also canon in the Clancyverse, meaning Ubisoft can't fix it :v:

I've been trying to sort that stuttering/freezing issue but no luck so far. I'm on a wired connection so I shouldn't be getting those lag spikes either.

Do you have less than 3gb of video ram? Because Siege gave me crazy imput lag and stuttering on random rounds and switching my 2gb GTX960 to a 3gb 780Ti solved all my issues and was because of the lack of VRAM. Sometimes I noticed that Siege tried to load a lot of poo poo maybe because of the customization or whatever and my card liked to fart whenever anything tried to use more than 1.5gb of vram.

The 780ti was an inmense help in performance but it was the extra memory that helped (before the 780ti tried a 1050 with 4gb and didn't have issues and is supposed to have less performance than my olf 960).

Is it the dreaded "cpu bug"? Your game will just lock up for a second at random intervals on some days/matches/rounds. If you have two monitors try to keep task manager open when playing and if you freeze up look over and see if you are at 100% CPU usage.

That could be it. I have a GTX 760 which has 2 GB of video ram but I can't afford to upgrade yet. I used to be able to run Siege at 1080p/60 FPS last year with zero issues.

I have misplaced my second monitor, so I can't check. It's possible I have that bug, since after a bit of searching it seems to happen on my specific processor (i5-4690K) more frequently than others.

Also used to be fine for me, and I get freezes now. 3570 (non-K) and a friend on a 6-core Phenom gets the same. I have a 1070 so it's not VRAM.
If it takes a few matches to kick in for you it could also be a temperature problem, Core Temp has logging.

Anyone playing at solid 144 FPS, what's your CPU? I should upgrade.

I'll log some temps, but this thing has liquid cooling and I cleaned it out recently. It shouldn't be running too hot.

Start with a couple of Situations or T Hunts, but otherwise dive right into casual. Watch YouTube guides after you get the basic mechanics down

I think the situations still give some free stuff but it's not as important now that all the attachments are free. It's worth playing some of them just to learn the controls and stuff. Let me quote my post about the operators.

Polka_Rapper posted:

Most of the characters are good, some are a lot more situational than others. I'd recommend avoiding Castle, Pulse, and Tachanka on the defender side for now. They require good map knowledge and don't bring as much utility until you have a bit more experience. Other than that, just try what looks cool. If you want some lower pressure characters, I'd suggest Sledge, Thatcher, Ash, and Fuze (not on Hostage mode though) for the attackers, and Rook, Jäger, and Mute for defenders. Sledge's job is to smash through walls and shoot people, Thatcher's job is to follow Thermite and throw EMP grenades. Ash zooms around and shoots people and Fuze does his best to fill a room with explosives. If you die early, it's not as big of a loss as some other operators. They also have decent guns.

For the defenders I listed, you pretty much place your gadgets, reinforce walls, and piss off.

My other advice is to get on the cameras/drones when you die and try to spot enemies or watch a teammate's back. Sometimes that involves scanning/pinging them, other times you just call out where they are. If you don't know the callouts (they are listed by the compass), call out compass directions.

I'm getting a persistent freezing issue with this game that I can't seem to get rid of no matter what I do. My PC will completely lock up, forcing me to do a hard reset, but it only happens in menu screens for Seige. Usually the operator selection screens in between rounds. During matches I have no problems, I get 100 FPS, things run fine. My PC isn't super powered, but it should be more than enough to run this game without issue, which it did for a couple months back in the summer when I last played it regularly. I have an AMD 8320 processor, 8GB of RAM, an Intel 1060 3GB video card, I run Seige off my HDD tho, because my SDD doesn't have enough room left to install Seige's near 80GB's. I've tried running the game thru uPlay launcher instead of Steam, Steam overlay on or off, verified game files, re-installed it, adjusted settings in game, windowed, fullscreen, whatever, nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions? I felt like after 165hrs in game I was finally starting to understand the maps a bit, so it sucks my sessions keep getting interrupted by this problem.
