For a long time I stayed away from Streets due to all the talk about memory leaks and terrible performance and what not, until I hit a critical mass of quests and decided it was time to try the new map. It's...really not terrible? Even on my laptop with an iGPU (using FSR) its as playable as any other map. I guess BSG made some performance passes on it, or SPT tweaked some things. And now I'm finding I quite like it.

I have yet to try Streets, but I hear it's good for Scav runs. I've just been doing quick Reserve runs at night. I need to watch some videos on Streets to figure out where all the good loot is. I'm at the point already where my stash is completely full and I'm gonna have to just offload a bunch of extra poo poo to make room for more. This is always my problem when I play. I enjoy scav runs so much, I just keep doing them and amounting more and more poo poo.

Previously I’d say sell/flea whatever you’re too afraid to take into raid and make builds off what you can buy at vendors, but now trader selection is total garbage so that’s a bit limiting.

Streets crew checking in. Good map, good design, little biased to the West if anything. Making one million rubles in a raid is feasible. Uses up a lot of VRAM, though, so check the consumption in task manager and if it is hitting max then lower the textures. I wouldn't be surprised if that is where a lot of the poor performance complaints come from. To be clear, on HIGH textures it can use over 18GB of VRAM in testing on a 4090. Many graphics cards, even new ones, only have 8GB. Old maps, like Woods, only use 6GB of VRAM on HIGH - so not all maps are made equal and you may need to accept that your hardware just doesn't meet the needs to run it on HIGH. I did my testing on a 3070 with 8GB and found MEDIUM clamps the VRAM under 8GB. Lighthouse was a similar story, just going over the limit.

Just points at the ground a few feet ahead of you, completely useless. It's pretty incredible how successful Tarkov has become despite how delusional Nikita/BSG is. They tripped over their dicks into creating the single most impressive weapon & ballistics model in the industry while simultaneously building a game around it that is fun in spite of the dev's vision for it.

I can see the helmet light matter if they actually bother implementing the ability to holster all weapons.

Concurred posted:put three lasers on your gun at all times and pretend you're the Predator I like to do this with a suppressed Ultima and AP20 slugs. Alternatively you can click over to flashlight mode and it's a portable sun. One good use I got out of the built in thermal is I can see to shoot even though I've blinded myself with how powerful the flashlight is.

hello internet posted:Why would you ever want a flashlight on your helmet instead of your gun in this game? In dayz they were super useful in servers where nvgs were super rare. But with nvgs being so easy to come by in current tarkov, I agree they're basically useless when you can just have one on your gun or buy some nvgs for 30k roubles off the flea. I've really been enjoying the current wipe, but I'll probably barely touch this upcoming short wipe with all the releases coming up.

The excitement - if you want to call it that - with the Unity Engine is better performance and hopefully less, much less latency, lag, jitter, etc. The desync is getting out of hand. Edit - looks like I am early.  https://twitter.com/tarkov/status/1681707842942664715/photo/1

I just can't get excited for updates in this game anymore. Their idea of a content update is pretty pathetic nowadays - the big addition for this patch is an "expansion" for the map they hyped up for 5 years that brings it to two-thirds of the planned size since the initial release a year ago was a small portion that contained exactly zero of the much-hyped unique additions like helicopter extract, troop carrier, etc. Oh but instead of any of those cool additions there's a new boss that has the exact same behavior as the rest of the bosses which is an instagib laser beam as soon as you enter an invisible area outlining the boss. This just reminds me of the Lighthouse expansion patch that turned out to be a tiny peninsula that still didn't contain the NPC trader that they had been teasing for a year up to that point. And when the NPC trader was finally added, it turned out it was strictly for poopsockers who can complete a ridiculous endgame questline. I don't know if I've ever seen a developer that is so wildly out of touch with what makes their game fun. They have a hugely successful game that, against the trends of the entire industry, they've managed to get a large portion of their playerbase to pay $140 for. Where is all that money going? I would say I'm excited to play Arena but it's been almost a year since they said it would be available in Beta format so... lol.

Dynamic loot containers is really shaking things up for me, can no longer rely on old paths to boxes and theres a ton of potential container spawns in previously trash areas so there's now a good reason to go explore, plus a load more loose loot in new places. New trader menu system is great, much less clicking about, plus being able to sell stuff straight to fence at the end of a scav run for trash id just have left behind is neat. Audio, however, is still rear end.

I was just about to post the same how it feels like this patch is really, really light? And hasn't the audio been fixed? Anyhow, I am going to take a break until the Unity update comes out.
