Or they rent a place where that would be against terms of their lease, or they are young enough to have Luddite parents, or they just don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to do it when they weren't complaining about it in the first place.

Player characters aren't so much the problem as the first person camera seems to be located in your chest, not your head. Siege had the same problem for a while.

They don't seem to be. If you run right up to someone in the lobby your camera is at their eye level. I think the models actually are just small to accommodate third-person.

You can also tell the camera is in the head/eyes because people keep posting screenshots of that split second when the game first loads but your head model hasn't disappeared from first person view yet- the camera is right behind your eyeballs and above your teeth.

Players are abnormally short in this game, the scaling is way off on tons of different world models, and the running animations are exaggerated so any time you're in motion your head dips really low and you seem to be another foot shorter than your already five-foot stature.

No, you're right, it happens to me literally every single time. NEVER MY FAULT. I promise.

So does a double-barrel to the chest, lvl3 armor, instantly down everyone? Because I know goddamn well that there are games where I've had to hit them twice with the double barrel and they had less armor than me. I mean, I had 75% health, but I still feel like this is bogus af. And you don't need to comment on my crosshair being too low, I know. Edit; looks like a head shot, my helmet gets destroyed, but it didn't say that he head-shotted me. Level 3 vest is untouched. Amazing.

https://clips.twitch.tv/InexpensiveMotionlessWrenchYouWHY

Also, if you just want to skip to the end I've got some footage I think goons will enjoy. Sick fucks.

hitting someone with all 9 pellets of any non-automatic shotguns does 99 listed damage to t3 armor (realistically, it probably just has an insta-kill mechanic if you hit all 9) and more than 100 in literally every other combination. when youre at 80-85% health and a dude peeks you like that, you're dead. he'd have to be the worst player in the history of the game to loving miss that shot, lol

I got some wierd bug where my framerate dropped to like 15-20fps late game and my gpu usage went down the shitter. Playing on all medium usually I keep consistent at around 70fps. Temperatures are fine and cpu usage wasnt maxed out. Someone told me the circle could cause this?

Yeah I had to quit the game since it got so bad, on i7-3770k at 4.4ghz and 1070gtx, 16gb ram, and the game is on an SSD. I'll have to fudge around with my settings if it happens again.

It's best to always just crash headfirst into something.

What's the threshold for instantly dying when getting out of a car? I think it's like 30km/h or lower?

If you're talking about mass selling poo poo (like hundreds of items/cards at once) you can use the Steam Desktop Authenticator which is sort of the only sane option for doing so; however if you already have mobile auth set up and its still making you sit a week then its doing that for everybody.

Use ctrl to always land on your front tire, as counterintuitive as it sounds. If you land on your rear tire you will do a front flip and it will kick you off the bike and probably kill you.

I've seen someone die when they hopped out at 4km/h so I aren't sure there is any "safe" value. If the car is moving you stand a chance of killing yourself.

He probably means the keycrate items, in which case I don't think there's a way around it but try to get in on that early. Or even sit on your poo poo, market prices for the non-key new poo poo have fluctuated up and down wildly, some items drop to like $8 and then jump into the $20s, and people are paying for it. Hell, people are buying Matrix coats and miniskirts at the insane asking prices. Since the keycrate poo poo is supposedly limited-time-only it means the potential amount you could sucker from people could shoot up after they rotate this box out.

Does noone check the key-bindings as their first port of call in a new game anymore? There are keys listed as air control in the settings menu, they are used for controlling pitch and roll on bikes mid-air. Go forth and do some sick tricks die slightly less on bikes.

Additionally is anyone having issues accessing their costume inventory right now? I'm OC local.

To be fair, the air control was patched in last month; anyone who checked the bindings when the game was new and has been playing for more than a month would miss that if they don't obsessively read patch notes.
