I fixed my crashing errors by rolling back my nvidia drivers and even with this patch im scared to redownload them

FPS improvement is pretty huge, just testing training area I'm much more stable at 144, used to dip to 110-120ish looking around, now I stay above 140. Molotov nades still tank you like crazy though, dropped to like 50fps using 3 of them in front of me, I think particles are poorly optimized.

I did that bullshit with the amd drivers and went back to the newest after nothing was actually affecting how much I crashed except seemingly rng jesus.

But new patch seems to be rare, in that not only has it fixed the crashing, but the performance went up 25%+ for me, and I have a fairly old fx-6300 with an aging r9 390x so it's not like I should be running a brand new game at highest settings with this good of FPS. Like overwatch for me on low I can avg 140fps, I'm avging 130 in Apex at everything cranked except ragdolls and sun shows set to low, as all that does is make shadows sharp for ~reasons~ which in my eyes just looks shittier and also the associated ~13% performance hit is not worth it.

There's not a whole lot of loot but my crew drops there regularly because it has good access to skull town. Same deal with the Pit and Slum Lakes.

its pretty limited and it gives away your position but its good for clearing a small prefab structure and its good late game with narrow circles

The map is indeed goonmade, by Wilko, the dude who got so good at modding Payday 2 that he got hired on by them. I’ll be interested to see if he makes anything for this.

I'm going to keep the map updated for as long as I can, provided I don't have to do a load of manually inputting coordinates.

and I also made mods for Titanfall 2! https://titanfallmods.com/

The Devotion is awful. Never any ammo, huge recoil, spinup time makes it annoying to use. Would rather have practically any other gun aside from the lovely pistols.

But when you hose down an entire squad with it wiping them, then revive your dead homie afterwards it feels pretty :chord:

Fans posted:

Executions aren’t just for fun, if they got a purple resist shield it’s quicker to just execute them than punch or shoot them down. Especially if they’re trying to crawl outside of cover and expose you.

And if you want to do some sweet grapple tricks with Pathfinder this vid is a great explanation

Games move really fast. Even if you reconnect 1 minute later your going to be out of position and screwed. I think as soon as they deal with the whole 25M people so far thing the servers will be fine. I rarely have issues now, at that.

A teammate picked up my banner for the first time in the 20ish games I've played today

They ran towards a respawn point outside of the ring and died before they got to it

Glad I'm getting all of the bad teammates so no one else has to

I'm surprised the map loot tiers aren't randomized at all. I kinda just assumed they would be.

I'm playing with a 2070 at 4k and it's fine. I was playing at max settings but just recently turned them down as I wasn't getting a consistent 60 frames. I'm getting 100 now.

I don't know how a 1080ti on 3440x1440 compares to 2070 (is that one generation or two?), but with that and an i5 6600k on high settings I'm holding at least 60--closer to 100-- frames per second at all times unless the game is about to outright crash (which seems to temporarily spike the poor CPU and GPU--dunno what to make of that)

(edit) Turned off volumetric lighting for vision purposes, though. Think that's the only custom setting

I would guess they tested it and it wasn't as fun because you couldn't 'learn' the maps in a general sense. Like we always know where action is at the start of the match, there is no ambiguity of it. I think if it was randomized the matches maybe would go slower as people wouldn't group as much in the loot zones. The loot itself being randomized I think is more than enough.

Watching streams everything that folks say about the team play being great seems legit, I'm just not experiencing it personally and bouncing off of the game real hard. Free to play though, so no harm no foul.

I mean, I agree that it would be a nice feature to have, but games are only 20 minutes long maximum, and there is absolutely no penalty for leaving, so if someone has to restart you can all just join a new game if you really want to.

Raise Chris Coons' taxes so that we can have Medicare for All.

Got my first win yesterday off the back of seeing movement in the second floor room and throwing a backpack of grenades in the door, downing someone immediately. I got downed by the last guy, but I had an epic downed shield and he couldn't execute me without getting shot, so I just crawled after him pinging him so he couldn't hide from my team. Relatedly, it is hilarious that you can jump while downed.

I wish there was an agreed way to say via ping to do this, instead of "turn the 1v1 squad fight into a 1v1v1 immediately" as tends to happen to me (sometimes my fault, sometimes not)

yeah, there's voice and text, but the ping system is so much easier when things get hectic

Use a defending here ping at the spot you wanna camp and then a watching here ping on the fight.

Yeah I suppose. They could also just make the area tiers visible in the drop map. It would mix up where the hot zones are (unless it already is and I've just completely missed it).
