I just don't understand what the maybe's or confusing thing is here. Lol thats the thing - nobody knows this. You and I have exactly the same amount of information about what happened - a single M885 bullet killed me in the "chest". What is a fragment? Does it count as one hit or two? Or three? Is it a guaranteed kill? Does it do double damage? Where in the game can I see what the fragment chance for a bullet is and what happens when the bullet fragments? So weird how anytime anyone has criticism of this game there's someone waiting in the wings to say some weird condescending poo poo in defense of BSG's awful design decisions that are universally made to artificially make the game "harder". Yeah man it's obvious that I died, nobody was talking about that.

They really need to actually put the full set of ammo stats into the in-game inspect with tooltips.

The damage feeds at the end are also not entirely accurate and don't show everything every time. You might have been hit a few times but the game only registered 1 shot on you for the kill screen. There is also some folks hinting at a new ghost armor bug where your armor is on in your client but the server doesn't register it. And of course it could have fragmented, but supposedly that requires hitting the armor according to some...

It would be really cool if the damage report on your death actually showed what happened like hunting games do when you shoot something

bsg leaning on 'it isn't meant to be fun' to defend stupid design decisions is the free square which is bizarre because they're honestly doing pretty good right now on a bunch of other levels

According to Nikita making those stats visible is "planned". https://old.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/18vthp2/thoughts/kfwgda4/ Merging all the maps into one huge map is also planned so take that as you will.

I really hope they add some sort of post match replay. Let me pay fence 30k to follow me with a drone or whatever. I care way less about finding cheaters and way more about how cool it would be to be able to go back and contextualize the poo poo that happened in a raid.

Anyone else run into issues with the game on AMD GPUs? I upgraded from a 1080 to a 7800xt and the game will basically cause my monitor to go black and I have to restart my computer. Hasn’t happened in any other game in the months I’ve had the new card. Happens in raid as well as in menus.

Mine used to do that, it wouldn't fully lock out but would black screen then return to desktop, funnily it would also disable all my RGB fans as well. But I'd get the unity crash report program. City Skylines 2 also did this but not recently.

Arena should always have you on the Blue team. It is ridiculous in 2024 to have to remember if I'm shooting Blue or Red.

Sharing a video of approx a week of my early 2024 tarkov wipe experience while rolling with my 3-5 person gang. I am not catching their comms but I put effort into making the video watchable despite it's length with a full sound track and scrubbing through the waiting and slow play I do. I play slow when I think I can get snipers into close range, and I'm armed with shorter range weapons. Waiting is a lot of fun for me. Other players may charge snipers, others may rotate away to better loot or engagements. I am reasonably sure about my ambush abilities and knowledge of common game movement flows. So I wait sometimes, especially when I think the enemy is only ambiguously aware of my location or unaware of me. E: The first 5 minute clip is pretty rough, the rest is more snappy. I become a more aggressive editor. Toalpaz fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jan 5, 2024 |

I started playing this game this week. Been having a lot of fun so far. Mostly playing with a group, but I’m getting the hang of successful scav runs, and have done a couple solo raids pretty successfully so far. I still don’t understand a ton of the mechanics, but I’m sure that will come in time!

fuuuck me. was playing streets and spawned kind of outside concordia, i got shot at so i dipped inside there. some dude broke the glass in the back and was running around looting, i tried to leave and he was shooting at me out of the back window, so I ran back in. I kinda just waited in the hallway and blasted him as he came up to the door i was near lol. dude was extremely kitted, sick modded m4 with drum mag, santas bag, T5 armor/helmet with NVG's it was amazing. Then as I was trying to hobble towards an extract, I was running in the grass next to a path outside of the building... and a landmine blew up and killed me. why the gently caress are there landmines on streets??? lmao i am so pissed, its not even like i lost it to a player, just loving dead

There's invisible claymores in some buildings in Ground Zero. Why? Because BSG hates you and wants you to suffer. Embrace the suck.

I mean bullshit land mines are arguably a good inclusion in a map that’s intended to teach you how the game works (including the feeling of idiocy when you have the retrospective realization that the bank booth in question has spray painted warning signs in both English and Russian)

i highly recommend paying attention to the signs that say 'МИНЫ' in Russian, often with a red background, skull and crossbones, and the words, 'стоп мины', which means, yknow, STOP MINES. I think the tarkov signs normally even have English warnings on them too, though some of the areas with mines will merely have a large red 'МИНЫ' spraypainted on a piece of plywood or something. Generally if you see anything in tarkov marked indicating danger it's because there're either mines or boundary snipers as an aside, those are actual signs used to mark minefields, albeit usually without the english Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Jan 8, 2024 |

I kinda wish they had it so that if you look at a sign that's in Russian there are like English (or your language of choice) subtitles that tells you what it means. I usually play Bear, so in my mind it makes sense they know what the signs say.

yeah, combined with the recoil changes a lot of weapons feel much more viable, and the theoretical punchers chance you had against geared people is way, way, way more real probably needs some tweaking, but it actually got me to play + have fun again

The inverted red triangle is the most common international mine warning sign, and if you pay attention, you can spot them (with and without the skull and crossbones) in almost every mined area somewhere

I've tried google but i'm confused by the results. I have a 60Hz moniter and the game hovers around that FPS. I'm getting screen tearing so want to use V-Sync, but the in-game V-Sync drops my frames to around 30fps. Has anyone else experienced this?

Somehow my quest progression lined up perfectly that on only my 2nd visit to shoreline, I had the chance to mark the 3 ambulances for therapist, find the 3 sets of bodies for therapist, Mark the 3 tables for prapor, mark the 3 tanks for peacekeeper, and jam the 3 signals for mechanic in a single raid. I ran all around the map, extracted with 3 minutes remaining, and realised I forgot to mark the table next to the ambulance at resort, and also skipped the bodies at the helicopter. 11/12 things marked/ jammed still felt pretty good tho. Pity the bodies have to be all in one raid because i died the next two times trying to do that quest and would of had it done if I only went to the helicopter 15m away from the ambulance I had to mark on that first attempt.

Recoil changes are dope and single-handedly make this wipe one of the most fun in a long time. Audio is still hot garbage but if they manage to fix that up I’d say that hands down this is the best Tarkov has ever been. Running night raids in the snow is atmospheric as gently caress while also being super functional. Unless it’s really bad weather or that pre-sunrise lighting the snow makes it so much easier to see at night that you can run without NVG, which is very convenient for early wipe when your access to NVG + mounts is pretty limited.

This is my third wipe. I don't think I have gotten past level 25 in either of the previous ones. My friend groups tend fall apart after they progress faster than me/others. I'm incredibly comfortable scaving; about 80% of my runs this wipe so far have been scavs so I'm rich as heck right now but only level 12. Pretty comfortable on Customs, Ground Zero, and outside Interchange (still getting lost inside), currently trying to learn Woods. I joined the goon discord and tried the authme but I think my privacy might be too strict for the DM. Maybe I'll see yall around!

Incoming Chinchilla posted:I've tried google but i'm confused by the results. I think what's happening here is v-sync seeks to lock your framerate to your monitor's refresh rate to fix tearing but your machine can't keep 60 frames with v-sync enabled so it's halving it to 30, which it does for reasons that I don't exactly understand.
