i play at much higher res than i record (720p?) so idk. i bet this game looks amazing maxed out. siege is one of the best around in terms of sound design but also the atmosphere/aesthetics are cool if you take the time to look around there's a lot of great little details

either way they take up a bunch of memory so i'll be dumping old op health stuff if i come across anything funny or interesting

Idk what you complain about your aim, unless the video bits take like maps in-between of you just dieing constantly. No one cares as long as you land the shots you take, even if it does involve 40 second salsa around the kitchen. :v:

yeah, i just like to take the quantity over quality approach to ammo expenditure because suppressing fire is actually fun as hell in a game where you can destroy the walls with bullets.

forreal though, some of the guys i play with are excellent at snap headshots. cool to watch and more effective imo but i'm usually :350: when playing which tbh is a big reason why i'll often resort to lazy weapons like shotguns lol

I max everything out, play at 1440p, stream at 900p60, and capture at 1080p60 at a 30mbps bitrate.

So with that in mind your video still looks... smoother. Almost like there's a motion blur pass being applied to it but it's not super aggressive.

If the jade skin was actually more like dark nephrite instead of the imperial jade I'd be all over that, it looks terrible as is in the games lighting. I'll probably pick up alembic because almost no-one else will.

I think I mentioned it way in the distant past, but Siege servers are (or at least once were), actually hosted by an invisible eleventh client. You used to be able to see this in the tech tests when the servers crashed, that client would leave the game. I imagine one of those clients ended up in both games, or something equally bizarre.

Pretty sure VOIP was P2P and they moved to a hosted based service which occasionally causes things like the hilarious bug shown above.

Didn't the Battle Nonsense YouTube channel do a video recently and found that VoIP is still p2p, and you can still grab people's IP's from it?

Last time he touched on VOIP was Jan 2016 I believe and back then he determined that they were connecting only your existing party and revealing those ip addresses. The enemy team's ip addresses would not be surfaced.

Siege currently uses VIVOX which is a dedicated voip.

oh gee, yet another thing for Jager, just what we needed. It looks pretty cool and all but that's what, half a dozen in the past couple of months? I seriously don't understand the logic of piling on content for a couple of operators all at once while a huge chunk of the others have barely anything; can't the art team time this stuff better? I can't imagine most people buy like six things for one operator in such a short time anyway, there must be huge diminishing returns on these releases.

i'd guess the main reason we don't see stuff for him is because his headgear is a bit more complicated than other ops? though they could straight up copy and tweak an existing splinter cell model while still using the existing hitbox so idk

he doesn't seem overplayed and is fun enough to show some love to. if anything that should have been his elite skin :colbert:

Whatever is his argument it's bad, Siege has peekers advantage that is more obvious the worse connections get. Check out latest battle (non)sense video on Siege for some slow-mo footage.

I have a 1070 and I run everything completely maxed out at 2560x1080. Average about 60-70fps. Turn stuff down a bit if you don't want it to ever drop below 60 or if you've got a high refresh rate monitor but the worst I ever get is 45-50 which is perfectly playable IMO.

Yeah it runs like smooth delicious cream, but I was mostly thinking about clarity and such. I've gotten used to turning down graphics in order to spot enemies easier after playing PUBG for a couple of months now.

I'm a tryhard so I play in medium without HBAO for maximum visibility and 100+ fps.
If I play with nice settings (1070) I often get killed by people I can't see due to funny luminosity.
Well I still get killed by people I can see but now I blame it on netcode.

You try to get maximum visibility, but you turn on ambient occlusion's fake shadows? Turn HBAO off and corners of rooms won't be dark.

e- completely misread that, you said you have it off, my bad.

Also siege has a really good benchmark tool in the options. I'm running a 1070 with an old as gently caress i7 920 and I play at 1440p 90hz, and I generally hit 90 fps most of the time. I don't have AO or AA on either, just run some benchmarks so your avg is where you monitor refresh rate is

e - also, do a benchmark, and then go into your Nvidia control panel and turn on prefer maximum performance and any other options you want on and bench again. Sometimes turning on prefer performance leads to worse performance because it boosts and then might hit a thermal limit and then underclock, ping ponging and giving you inconsistent frames. If you have a second monitor just see if things are getting maxed out

As one of those scumbags who has high ping, what confused me for a long time that might be confusing him too is that you have to actually be doing the peeking to get the peeker's advantage. If you try holding angles, you get the inverse happening, and they get the same advantage on you instead. It still works massively to the person with bad ping's advantage since they can know to account for it and Always Be Peeking, but if you think of it like some flat bonus to reaction time then you're gonna hit a lot of frustrating situations.
