HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I have been playing almost exclusively Terrorist Hunt on PS4 and haven't had any issues with how it runs. I usually run it Lone Wolf or a small group of friends though so maybe there are issues with full parties. It is great. One of my favorite game modes ever.

Yea the reason you dont notice anything wrong is you're playing the mode exclusively. I play mostly MP & do terrorist hunt to chill / complete challenges. MP runs at 60 FPS. Terrorist hunt runs at 30 FPS. The difference is very, very noticeable. TH feels super sluggish doing anything. MP is very responsive. Its the super silky smooth MP gameplay that ruins it for me. I'm sure if I played TH for a week straight it would adjust and I'd stop noticing it. Kind of like how I played the poo poo out of destiny prior to R6 and didnt really care but now when I switch from R6 to Destiny it feels laggier because the FPS is lower on Destiny.

Edit: I have a 1.7 KDR right now in ranked and a 1.5 ratio but ive been stuck between Silver III and Silver IV. Part of it is that I play some random matches here and there so I havent had a chance to stick it out with a good pub team to try and go on a run. I got this team last night of absolute idiots who didnt know poo poo from a butt, and I backed out, and requeued after a minute and it stuck me with the same 4 goobers again. JFC. Finally got on a good team after that one and only got 2 matches in (to reclaim the ranks that poo poo team stole from me) before I had to go to bed :mad:

Haven't done much ranked myself since the open beta, are the ranks still super erratic? In the beta I went from silver 4, to gold 2, gold 4 then platinum 2, then down to silver 3 after a single loss. This was over like 6 matches.

Yeah, I thought this would be more important. However, I think there should be a blend instead of either or. If you constantly carry your team then your ranking should be higher. At the same time, if you are the guy that runs off to the basement while the rest of your team is guarding the hostage on the second floor, and after your 4 teammates die you are slowly crouch walking back and forth waiting for the perfect ambush, maybe you deserve less points/lower rank than your teammates.

The update promised adjustments to changing ranks, so time will show now. Until the game was by large eager to demote, but not quite so vice verse.

If you constantly carry your team, that is going to be reflected in your win rate. The game is 5 kills or complete the objective to win no matter what, and rewarding (or punishing) for kills would discourage support play like playing Montagne or using drones and cameras to scout for your team rather than going for kills.

That is a very good point and not one I can disagree with. Maybe it needs to be weighted differently for attacking and defending teams? I picked up some good do the other day just by running twitch drone around zapping people and my team breached. +20 drone assist a few times plus spotting just before a kill.

Sorry, turns out it wasn't just the ultra textures causing it. The patch in general has made performance piss poor, using the same settings that previously gave me stable 60+ now fluctuates between 30-50.

e: Or not :v: I uninstalled the ultra textures and it was set to Very High in the settings, but it didn't actually uninstall the ultra textures and still had them active. Changing the textures to something else and back to Very High fixed the performance.

Still, ultra textures cannot be used with a 970.

The video memory meter in the graphics menu goes up to juuust under 4GB with ultra textures on.

If you missed it there was actually a controversy over the GTX970 because while it technically has 4GB of video RAM the last 512mb of it is far slower than the other 3.5GB. This means that the 970 takes a huge hit to performance if it has to use over 3.5GB of memory. Thanks Nvidia!

You might be able to turn down enough other settings to get it down to less than 3.5GB with ultra textures but I doubt it's worth having the nice textures if all your other settings are set to minimum.

Ultra textures will probably work ok with any other card with 4GB RAM, if you've got more than 4GB you'll be fine.

It could be that I'm playing on Brazilian servers (30-50ms latency), but it seems a lot better. I've had multiple cases where I've been able to retaliate against a peeking enemy, realizing that the exact same situation prior to the patch would have resulted in me dying before I even saw the guy.

Also you can pick them up and move them (and most other deployables) so it's possible to run into one with a drone and then find the same one protecting a wall from Thermite a little bit later.

Its weird because they seem to have fixed the issue where backing out would gently caress up your party. which is appreciated, but yea ppl dropping every match.

I got demoted in ranked match where my friend got disconnected from the game (with all internet every other app/phone/console working fine) which sucked rear end. They need to have a reconnect option or a join friend option. Or fill the drat spot. Why is the fill so random? Why do I gotta play 5v4.

There is a higher chance of the game randomly disconnecting someone on the other team and ending the game 4v4 than it is to fill it back up to 5v5.

The stats don't matter, it's who you're pitted against (and with). I got to Gold 1 pretty quickly, as I was facing a lot of Gold ranked players. But now everyone I face seems to be Silver, so it's taking a while.

There is no chance of the game filling back up, in ranked. That is a feature in casual only. Either the person who disconnected reconnects, which they rarely get the option to, or you deal with playing with a man down.
