I do believe I've started seeing what is easily the most annoying thing in the game so far. Multiple games I've had somebody on my team drop somewhere deep in the mountains where nobody would ever, ever go unless the last circle is there then spam really annoying sounds at their team the whole game. Not only do you end up down a body because your teammate is literally not even playing but now you can't hear anything important or talk to your teammates.

I really want to like this game but holy gently caress is the community making it completely impossible.

Don’t play with randos, this is not that complicated. Or hope that “the community of this popular online game will improve” :lol:

Can't get no luck.

Floral shirts are £2.47 on the Steam market. Desperado crates are £1.26.

Get another Desperado crate, sell both, buy floral shirt.

This happened on FPP NA. I have noticed we run into WAY more cheaters when playing between 2-5am PST, during more normal hours we almost never see them

We have run into a decent amount of wallhacking, but this was by far the most blatant cheating and wasn't even killing my squad member on purpose.

That's hilarious cause it almost seems like the weirdest bug ever. The spot he snaps towards in the replay after downing the third guy isn't even on the same screen as your friend, let alone in your general direction. That's one hell of a speedy aimkey.

I'm curious to see the rest of that 3v1, if you have it readily available!

I only have the replay up through my death, didn't have my stream going at the time so can't see how my friends died.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlCPZg9jZuA

But there I see him for a split second and try to M249 him knowing he is a cheater, but miss a few shots and he turns and insta's me. And then finished my downed body through the wall of the house.

The game ended as expected with him just sitting on that hill killing my two friends when they tried to peek him.

Had a game where I got into a car and bullets started hitting my exact center of mass from behind. Twenty shells from something at full-auto, all into the exact same spot.

Luckily that spot was just barely covered by the back of the desert pick-up.

They really need to fix weapons not spawning till well after you land. It feels bad being the first to reach School's roof or whatever only to find no items there. Either you leave and let everyone else loot it all, or you just kinda awkwardly hang around waiting for items that may or may not spawn anywhere near you.

And it's not just lag in crowded areas. Just yesterday I landed on an empty rooftop with no one else around, looted the house, then before leaving I figured I'd check the rooftop again just in case. I found an M4 and 90 bullets :what:

True dat. Coulda sold my checkered jacket for like £56 but I held onto it and now you can buy them for £8 or something. RIP. At least I have a dope jacket though and I only paid a couple of quid for the key for it.


Hat economy post follows:

If you get a rarish (1%-3% drop chance) new item from a new crate (like a week old or less) and it's like $50, probably sell it. The price will likely fall over the next couple of weeks. Probably doesn't apply to the super rare stuff (like 0.5% droprate or less?).


Edit: Also probably if you know new crates are coming out, sell all your old poo poo a week or two before, then rebuy anything you want to keep after. All the stuff from the old crates that is moderately rare but not super rare (so like, purple pants, regular floral shirt, blue mandarin jacket are some examples from my stuff) seemingly just tanked in price, though some other stuff like yellow pants/jacket seems to have held price somewhat so gently caress knows.

Hi, we're a bunch of different people with different tolerances for what should/should not be banned. But we do log as many time-outs/bans as possible and we try and review and discuss anything that may be subjective to people based on behavior.

Speaking of things that should be banned, I've been using Nvidia's new shader settings with HDR set to 100% and it's super good. Unlike dumb settings like sharpening and oversatured colors, it doesn't make the game look ugly but it's definitely easier to spot dudes when you're outdoors in the sun and you look at a dark corner or window.

Is mentioning SA at all illegal? Is it because choco's trying to keep the channel wholesome, or because we are stupid jerks?
I know we've joked about choco only paying his 10bux to promote, but no one actually cares about that, except for maybe vulgar because he's pretty hard.

Not at all. Just the language used with whatever his comment was (I wasn't there, I am just relaying the log message) was what got him timed out. I imagine it would have been the same result regardless of what website was being referenced.

I was just wondering if that is a real HDR monitor or not (it isn't), to see if it's worth bothering on my trash tier monitor to try this.

It's not actual hdr, it just makes the shadows brighter.

Do you have the FPS counter enabled? Shift-tab, then on the steam overlay you can enable the FPS counter. Lets you stop guessing and "feeling". ;-)

I have everything set to Very Low, except the following which are on Ultra:
* Textures
* View Distance
* Anti-Aliasing

The rest of the settings are the big resource hogs for me, especially Shadows and Post-processing. I think Foliage is not that important but it's actually easier to spot guys when foliage is low.
