concise posted:Crazy how all the EOD and now Unheard money never bought a decent server architecture and people just normalized 5-10 minute queues. Reminds me of release Bloodborne where death was extra punishing because you were waiting a minute plus for the game to load. It's not loss of gear that's punishing in Tarkov it's knowing how long it's going to take to get into the next game.

Hooplah posted:personally i find SPT more boring because AI can be cheesed and baited in many cases. sniping in particular is way way easier because real players get a sense for when they're being watched and path accordingly Have you tried a recent SAIN version ? The base Tarkov AI is simplistic and fairly terrible but SAIN bots are fairly impressive, in particular they are really good at taking appropriate cover to engage you, frustratingly so at times if you let them.

Defeating them and knowing it was a real person I outwitted or outshot feels amazing. ANd dying to them feels good too, because I know they take my gear and now get stressed trying to extract and get away. I totally get that and its what stopped me from playing SPT for a while. Then I realized I'm fighting Skynet and I must kill the robots

The default settings leave the bosses tuned lower than live but that's just a matter of turning up the spotting and accuracy sliders for the boss AI in the F6 menu if you enjoy the live AI antiaircraft turret experience. On that note I like the That's Lit mod for revamping AI spotting, it adds a lot more nuance to the model and allows you to turn ai spotting up without rendering the game unplayable (Note : turn off the SAIN ESP bush protection if you use that or the bots will be very blind)

I have been playing around with SPT with some of the recommendations from this thread and it's a lot better than the last time I tried it. But yesterday I was doing the bolt-action kills with iron sights and saw what I thought was a scav in the sawmill, and i know that he saw me. I headshot him, but was very confused when the Shturman achievement popped up. I thought I played it pretty well, but not well enough that I should have killed a boss. Especially in one shot with whatever poo poo ammo I had from level 1 traders. Other than that I still feel like regular scavs aren't acting the way they should. I kinda want them to behave like live, and then add better PMC/player scav bots. I already disabled Looting Bots for scavs since (as far as i can tell) sniper scavs kept leaving their posts to try and get rich.

yeah the real secret sauce of ai scavs in live isn't that they're especially good, it's that they provide, like, a background pressure to the rest of the game and exist to punish/attrit the player for not dealing with them promptly.

It's kind of funny how differently people play Tarkov. I was looking a the stats of the people whose dogtags I have and some of their stats are insane to me. I play very slowly and methodically. I'm also pretty new/bad. So I have a K/D ratio of 2.67 on my PMC stats and an average life span of 48 minutes. I see lots of people with similar stats. But there are also people that have K/Ds in the 4-5 range and average life spans of 5-10 minutes. Their games must be so action packed

Dude needs to chill with killing friendly Scavs, I can't even get near Kiba to loot corpses anymore lol.

BSG isn't very good in some things, including stats pages. Once you hit over 60 minutes, it resets back to 0 again. So those players with 5-10 minutes could also be sitting on 65-70 minutes lifespans.

The AI mods aren't meant to act like live Scavs, since that's what the base SPT install is doing, but you can exclude the normal scavs from LootingBots while still keeping it active for the other bot types, it's important to give them a reason to move around the map instead of being sitting ducks waiting for them to be shot at. The F6 SAIN menu is very granular if you want it to be and you can tweak all bot types independently to taste

Yeah if you have SAIN installed and havent tweaked the sliders you arent playing with SAIN installed. You can make the AI a bunch of pestilys or a bunch of baby brained meat to go John Wick on after you ate too big of an edible. Or have a spread! They even have options to randomly generate dickheads who extract camp to simulate live.Vorenus posted:It's amazing how many of us just want to play Supermarket Sweep but with guns.

Grayzone did crib a lot of ideas and mechanics from Tarkov. I had a good hearty chuckle when I plopped a 2x1 acog scope onto a Trijicon mount and it shrunk the scope assembly down to 1x1 inventory square.

Also SPT being kinda hard to set up properly and janky. But it doesn't stop us, I am having the time of my life with this game, SAIN/Donuts/Questing/Looting bots with a bit of fine tuned Realism on top (I was so surprised that there are aspects that Realism makes better for the player instead of being just a massive kick in the dick) and a few QoL mods makes for the best Tarkov experience I've ever had. The bots really work almost like players, and the meta aspects that Realism tunes like more unpredictable traders and flea market make it so you don't just fly through all the content, finding good guns, armors and especially ammo is still exciting while happening often enough to not be frustrating. I only wish there were more presets for bots when scavving, but that's on me for leaving it on default - I've now run Interchange enough times to know bot placements by heart Gotta switch it up next time.

'Local attacker' means someone with access to run code on your computer. They can be at the keyboard or they can have remote access through stuff like remote desktop or ssh. That might not seem serious, but if an external attacker can get local, unprivileged access through a different vulnerability, they can use this vulnerability to escalate their privileges to system level. The tweet linked above has a link to the CVE database and in that, there's a link to the vulnerability analysis here: https://www.defencetech.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Report-CVE-2024-22830.pdf. It's a good write-up and if you're into that kind of stuff, it's interesting reading. I'm sure that it's a real vulnerability. It's not in the ABI code itself though, so blame should be directed at the Anti-Cheat developers. Jakosa fucked around with this message at 10:26 on May 13, 2024 |
