PantsBandit: Oct 26, 2007; it is both a monkey and a boombox

According to reddit, the servers are better than ever after today's hotfix.

I picked the perfect time to be out of town all weekend :negative:

After the hotfix it was ok for a while, but now it's laggy again

FPP is great but it's so chock full of random infuriating bullshit like world's scale being completely off, or character movement inertia affecting your camera.

It was pretty good for a little while, but now everytime I play there is a lot of "stutter" when someone runs close to me or I start shooting. It is very aggravating that a basic part of the game is sort-of not working very well.

The lag is generated by the swooshing of the miniskirts. The unreal physics engine was not built to handle cape, dress, or any other flowing garment. Each swoosh causes a memory leak until the servers become to laggy and have to be restarted. They are going to need to disable the pants clothing slot and yellow cars as a temporary workaround.

Did they make it easier to blow out tires from long distance or am I just good at making people spin out and flip their cars as a result?

the camera is so low when you're driving the boat you can't actually see directly in front of you, and I'm the weirdo who always tries to find a boat to reposition down the river

The swamp area is so interesting and cool, but so tiny. I want a bayou map that's like 75% swamp that's filled with air boats.

Every battlegrounds contestant is provided with 17 ounces of regulation hardening hair-gel which must be applied in its totality before each match.

(I've actually never been to the swamp. My roomie seems to always end up there every game, somehow.)

The swamp is where cool kids who want an early encounter but aren't looking for the all out melee of school/containers/chinki drop. It's always tense in the swamp. Also there can be good loots.

Loot at the start, then try killing people outside of buildings for further loot.

Also, people move eventually, if you can sneak up on a building and just sit outside and listen usually within 5 minutes someone inside will move if they are there. Also, peaking and entering through the right door can help.

I find it easier because people have to show themselves to see or shoot you in a way they don't have to in third person.

If you can't make it in a house, become a bush.

According to these posts on the bug tracker forums if you have a GTX 770 with version 382.53 driver specifically the bushes are oddly semi-transparent allowing you to see a player in them.

Last night playing squads was an exercise in late night randomness, lag, and bad choices. After getting to the rock quarry, we were one guy down, with one of our better players going into a house and getting stuck there as another squad on the opposing ridge makes camp directly above him. Me and another guy start taking pot shots and telling him to either get out of the house and go after them or get to where we are while we provide cover and bid a retreat to the houses behind us to the north. Well he dies naturally, and we get back in our car low on ammo with the sneaking suspicion that we are getting flanked and or surrounded with all the noise we were making. Sure enough we start getting shot at as the car dies from lack of gas, I jump out thinking that well that's that. Teammate ditches me with the cold comfort of words on Discord, "You made choices." as I get riddled from all sides.

I don't think I could have laughed harder at 3 am sober than that time. We all are laughing our asses off, I'm coughing and trying to be quiet to not wake anyone up, he dies 30 seconds later. GOTY

I have to imagine first person mode is going to make finding and situating yourself in the perfect bush much harder and that's terrifying.

It's weird that they use a cube map for the eyes but can't be bothered to do the same for the water, resulting in the awful artifacts when you block the sunset with the plane at the beginning of the game.
