Apparently people are struggling much less with getting in if they join a game from the steam UI and boot it up that way.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

Lol did they make it so you can't alt-esc out while waiting in the queue?

I like how you can't change your window size or any other options without being connected to the servers.

The nests are also where a lot of the research samples are located.

Also clearing the nests/factories makes the extraction easier.

It also gets rid of places to accidentally aggro while you're retreating from a horde of angry bugs. Not THAT big of a deal with bugs but kiting sure gets more challenging once you add a couple cannon turrets to the mix.

Do sentries have a time limit, a kill limit, or an ammo limit? Them thangs are absurdly strong

Maybe that's just because more people can play it so they can report on crashes

Yeah I've been able to skip the queue by just directly joining an in-game friend via the steam interface. I think this works as long as you don't get the black screen bug (which has been fixed?)

I think that it's an ammo limit, but I could be wrong. Gatling sentries will BRRT themselves to death within a few seconds while mortar sentries live a lot longer.

They have an ammo limit. You can increase it with sample sizes.

Make the big MG do armor pen, and make the stalwart a regular gun but reduce its ammo or whatever to put it more in line with others.

The heavier machine gun does in fact have medium armor penetration.

Any recommendations for settings for this on the steam deck WITHOUT using render scale and getting more than 30 fps? Even ultra quality render scale makes the game a blurry mess and makes it hard to play.

SES Hammer of Twilight. I know it isn't a funny one but I like it :shobon:

After the patch hit I dropped solo onto the Creek to test out the Autocannon now I have it unlocked, and ended up immediately being joined by 3 pubbies. We ended up finishing several campaigns against the bots together. God this game is great when it works :allears:

I'm gonna be sad when the Autocannon inevitably eats a nerf because it's just so good right now.

It's not a huge difference, but it does make me wonder what else isn't displaying correctly.
