I finally got a silence and 8x scope in a game and had some time to play around with it. It's so great.

It's that mixture of one part solidarity in knowing exactly what that confused, panicked body language of your target means and exactly what it feels like to be shot at from who the gently caress knows where, and one part relief of knowing it is not you who is feeling it.

The 8x is just too much. Give me an ACOG or give me death.

Does anyone else have problems with hangups/freeze-ups when opening your inventory?

I mean my game literally goes to 0 FPS. It will half load the transparent inventory UI and then the screen won't update for 5-30 seconds. The game still accepts movement and looting mouse and keyboard commands but my visuals are totally locked up for that time period, this always happens the first time hit tab after parachuting in regardless of if I am in the middle of a town or just out at sea. Preemptively opening it while I parachute in does not help either, unfortunately.

It's your game struggling to load stuff. Defrag and if that fails get more RAM or an SSD (RAM worked for me). If your case is anything like mine then you might also load into the game way before your loading screen is actually gone and you can hear footsteps and poo poo while the loading screen persists. You can try hitting tab there too, will make things freeze but hopefully you'll be able to load in fine.

God drat it, I just got #2 again because I didn't know that the circle kills you HELLA FAST at the end of a round. Thought I would be clever and keep to my bush and use heals, but nope.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
Barricading the bridges with a few cars and playing bridge troll whenever the circle moves to the south is about the most fun thing in this game. The ambush is great and you have surprisingly good cover, plus if you need to dip you probably have a few cars around.

Also never not take the higher risk start. Pochinki and Mylta are both awesome to fight in and frequently a decent distance to the path. They're the perfect middle ground between military base gently caress fest and running through the woods for 45 minutes because other squads are 2 spooky. The apartment blocks on the east of Pochinki overlooking the court yard area and the walls on the hill in the south east of Mylta are prime shoot mans spots.

No. There's a damage chart in the OP. It's usually 2 hits.

Had a great game of duos just now that ended up with me being really stupid. Illusive and I dropped into Mylta Power, he got killed straight away but I managed to escape with an M16 and a 4x plus a stupid amount of 556 ammo. After a relatively harrowing boat ride past the circle, I bagged 4 dudes and looted an AKM, before dying to the circle in 11th because I forgot to check my health ;) Love this game.

Since what I'm assuming is the last patch, I'm getting crazy FPS drops when moving around, anyone have a similar problem and a fix, or is it just this patch being terrible? Game ran completely fine before.

For me, it really varies from server to server, so I think it the server performance has a real impact on FPS, not just lagginess when picking items up.

If there's nobody around for me to Rambo charge at, I would usually just requeue if me or my friend died early enough.

Someone reverse stream sniped him today by running up to him while named Lirik's_Loot with a bunch of good gear so he could kill them and take it.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
Props to the squad today on back to back wins followed by back to back circle fuckings. CyanideWolf and two dudes whose names escape me at the moment. ✊🏻

Unfortunately the wiki is very unfinished at this point. I'm looking for answers to subtle things like "Can an enemy hear you when you crouch walk?".

I don't understand why you need a wiki. Is there bullet drop? Shoot a gun to a distance and see where the bullet hits. Can you hear someone crouch walking?
Try crouch walking with your volume turned up.

I love that goons love to know every detail about a game and post about it all day, but will inevitably be horrible at it.

I don't think it's that big of a deal if he wants to know a few key things if he's new at the game or if he's planning to buy it.

It's not like he's asking how long it takes to walk from x to x repeatedly.


Condoleezza Nice! posted:

Most likely if he's asking these questions he's fairly new to the game and there's probably a chance he's never even stumbled across a sniper yet either seeing as they are much rarer.

It takes more effort to do these things in game then to look them up on the Internet. When I said "someone" I meant an enemy player.

Yes, but I hope you can see how it would stand to reason that if you can hear yourself do something, then someone else can hear you do it.

Anyway, the answer is yes they can hear you, but its much quieter.
