Building trust within the game client despite the fact that the other guy is a stranger who can murder you at any time is very different from forming a party in advance and landing somewhere together. It's rare that it'd be beneficial but it shouldn't be forbidden by the rules when it works out. Just like in real battle royale or whatever.

In the hunger games the tributes from the better off districts would all team up and hunt the other players at the start of the game. This game is less violent then a young adult romance novel.

Is there a program that would allow me to play without recording whole sessions but I press a button and it grabs the last minute or two of game play? I was in a match yesterday where either his client was messing up or he was cheating.

I was on the second floor of a building and the guy comes up through the floor like a land shark, shoots me before dipping back below the floorboards and relocating. He did this one more time which killed me off and I would love to have some proof to show the devs.

OBS does that and it works for every card. It also uses the same backend as shadowplay but you don't have to have the cancerous nvidia updater installed. It's pretty fantastic

^^ sometimes its fun to watch someone perform at the highest level in a game. Every game is almost like a new movie. You shouldn't be staring at streamers and throwing money at them 24/7, but you shouldn't do that with anything.

re: Dramatica - Hahahaha that's amazing. At least in PUBG a lot of those things aren't possible. I don't see how we can ruin PUBG for anyone since it's not a persistent world, and there's a blue line that moves. The real losers are those pussies that hide in bathtubs with shotties and just camp with their 8x on the Driver's side window of the vehicle you're going to get in in 5 minutes when you leave military.

This is from the noted bad game, Mechwarrior Online. It's not so much of a "look at this interesting event we created," but rather "we managed to make a lovely game look amazing with this sizzle reel."

Which is a thing unto itself. Also this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?szyzyg is a goon, not sure if you want to leverage that relationship towards your application as well.

That kinda sucks. In that case, would it be a good idea to make sure that those who do get those clients are from different regions so we can get as many games as possible going throughout the day? I'm not sure which regions you and WBG are from but it'd kinda suck if goons from certain parts of the world miss out because it turns the two of you are from the same region. If you guys are from different regions then I'd say it's fine

This is something to be considered. I believe we're both from NA actually. I assume we could host EU custom games the same way we can play on EU servers. Do we have an EU representative among us?

I'm sure regions don't matter when it comes to ability to connect, it's more to do with time slots I'd say. It'd probably be preferable to (theoretically) have goon games going for a prolonged period, rather than having two going simultaneously but for a shorter time. I'm from EU, for what it's worth, but I'm sure there's many more of us and I'd bet there's at least a few who stream more often (and more entertainingly) than I do.

Squad game with the goons ended in the best way I think.

12 people left, only 1 left for our squad. He crawls to the 2nd to last circle and just stayed there. 3 squads start killing each other across the circle with no knowledge the goon is left. Final circle comes and 4 are left. He crawls to up and manages to shutgun 2 down without them noticing. The final guy starts to shot but is hitting one of the dead bodies. He loots a crate, gets ammo, and takes a few shots and it's chicken dinner time.

So I know this game is early access, but why is this game chugging so much in FPS? I just died because my game decided to be a slideshow during a gunfight. It seems to happen consistently with shooting out into the blue ring. The strange thing is that my computer is not old at all! It can run the Witcher 3 no problem, but this game really needs optimization.

I mean what exactly is the hold up? I know next to nothing about video game development, but is optimization like the last thing you do during development?

I don't mean to be glib, but basically yes. UI usability and optimizations tend to come last, unless they're critical to a planned feature, because you want to take on the full breadth of the requirements at one time. If you try to over-optimize along the way, you waste time and inevitably undo your work with the next seemingly simple widget you have to rush.

That being said, this is supposedly a beta and not an alpha, despite it missing a bunch of v1.0 features, which is the traditional time for "hardening", but...kids these days...

Pretty sure this does nothing, I think the "desired" thing is just a default if you haven't picked a resolution or something.

ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1200
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1200

These variables were correctly set.

iirc the Desired values are used when the game asks you to confirm if you want to actually change video settings in-engine. Maybe. The whole game options class is a loving mess and I swiftly drank all knowledge of that poo poo clean out of my memory as soon as I was done touching it last time.
