So my game is making me force close every time I quit and recompiles the shaders every time I restart... is there a workaround to make it not do that?
I fixed it by doing this with Nvidia (not sure if this happens with AMD cards):

1. update Nvidia drivers if you have not done so
2. turn off shader cache (remember to press "apply" afterwards)
3. turn on shader cache
4. restart your pc

This is where the shader cache setting is in Nvidia Control Panel

After doing this, you should get "compiling shaders" once more but then never again. You should notice the maps load much faster.

Trying to do the second leg, and good luck when so many people land in the city zone and see your solo rear end running around.

ive been able to get through the first two parts without too much trouble. took me 3 tries on the first one (one was just learning how to read the yellow signs), 2 on the second because a solo octane ran me down halfway though. its stupid. they should just make single player movement challenges that i can play until my fingers fall off.

Congrats! Your first 2k is always an awesome feeling, especially since you usually only realize after the game is over.


Big agree for the Rampage, I don't know what it is but recently it's really clicked with me as a weapon and I've actually been owning with it consistently. Might be because when not rev'd up the fire rate is so low the recoil is basically nonexistent. Makes for super easy tracking when hip firing it.

The first couple times I tried it I was like "ugh, I'm dead before I can even get 3 bullets off" but if you can hit your shots it doesn't matter :v: (I was having trouble with that part). Most people completely ignore it in favor of the flatline which is fine with me. I like to run Rampage and then a high ROF weapon like Volt or R99 for CQC, stuff my pockets with thermite and hahaha LMG go brrrrrr.

not a fan of the powerup mode. it's really only useful in situations where you need to push or fight, but you can't due to the charge up time, and you lose juice too quickly passively to make it worth charging it up proactively.

It takes 3 seconds to rev up and lasts for 30. Definitely situational, but if you know you're about to get in the poo poo (or are already in it) it's easy enough to duck around a corner and pop a grenade in there. But I love the ugly thing anyway, if for nothing else than the "hits like a truck and has basically no recoil" feature.

The rampage misses an astonishing number of shots for me. Maybe I am actually blind, or it has super slow bullet velocity or something, but I will just be drilling people in the chest at 40 feet and watch in awe as 40% of my shots no reg.

2 weeks later and the servers are still a fuckin goop. Can't run in a straight line without stuttering backwards and glitching. Actual gun fights seem mostly ok, but something is still turbo hosed. 40-50 ping, so it's not that.

Whenever it happens to me (and it's pretty rare nowadays), it definitely seems like it is still some animated banner in my squad/champ squad causing it.

Yeah I unlocked Seer, the only legend I have animated banner for, and let it run. First match I crashed for the first time since the servers went bad and so did my teammate, who also had an animated banner.

EDIT: Interesting note about the new cosmetics, they’re being added to the standard loot pool. That means you can get them in regular packs and, more importantly, craft them. But the note that “after two seasons, crafting metal costs of Monsters Within items may be reduced” makes me worried the base crafting price is going to be higher than normal.

Also the skybox on Encore looks siiiiick.

This is such a weird thing to do side by side with bundles that lock you out if you own random other cosmetics, e.g. the current Crypto bundle that you can't buy if you own a base-game blue banner skin.

I think there's precedence for this. Wasn't Hype Beast + matching Longbow skin and Caustic's purple/green stuff event limited cosmetics that got added to the pool? Still, adding entire collections is great. Now if only the organising when you have a bunch of them wasn't horseshit...

Sort of. You’re right that they were added during the Grand Soirée event in Season 3, and they were available for purchase at that time, but they weren’t technically part of that event’s cosmetics. Which is particularly surprising for Bangalore’s Viceroy skin and matching RE-45, cause they really look like they belong with the other Grand Soirée skins. Also there’s a Prowler that matches that Caustic.

There’s an even earlier example, too. During Voidwalker in Season 2 they added 5 weapon skins (and a Gibraltar banner for some reason) to the general loot pool. They weren’t immediately available for purchase though so the event vs non-event thing wasn’t as confusing.

One of the goons I played with tonight had this issue, they turned off the opt-in Steam beta stuff and restarted Steam and it started working. No idea if that was the actual issue, that's just the thing they changed before it started working.

I myself had no issues.
