I like this game and I want to talk about it but the thread seems to devolve into namecalling and arguments constantly, and if you don't play the game like Unreal Tournament you're not enjoying it the right way.

This is an RP thread. We roleplay as the game's competitors by spreading misinformation, insulting each other, and generally acting like psycopaths. Please stay in character.

No amount of money spent is going to make this game run smooth as silk.

What you can do is minimize your troubles by doing all the tricks possible, like reducing paging allocation to prevent the game from stuttering like crazy, doing the commands to enable more cpu cores, putting the game on your SSD and hoping that won't kill your drive.

Complaints about camping has always been weird to me, in any game.
The solution appears to be to learn how to deal with them and ruin their day, using whatever tools and techniques at your disposal, rather than be upset that they saw you coming from their prepared corner.
I understand the frustration, but I do not understand why it is less frustrating than dying from someone who just happened to turn a corner at the same time you did with a shotgun.

Write your own custom OS kernel.

e:

Most of the technical advice ITT is some anecdotal witch doctor poo poo. If you want your game to run well the actual stuff that works is to install the game on an SSD, keep everything but texture quality on low, and don't have a million other programs (especially browser tabs) open.

This game is also still un-optimized and it really comes down to your specific hardware. I get decent frame rates running at 1080 on an old fx8350 and hd7970. Definitely better than arma 3 or dayz ever ran for for me.

well no but a game based in sitting in a house for 20 mins to then shoot two people that never even saw you probably appeals to a specific kind of anti-social weirdo but for the majority of people that's a lot of waiting around doing nothing for a few seconds of 'fun'. If you don't equate your self-worth with your kills then the whole thing gets a bit pathetic

wanna hear something crazy about people who play by camping in a house?

Why would he look for a video if he's not even aware he's misunderstanding something. :confused:

It's ridiculous to have a multi page slap fight out of something that was already resolved by the first person to point out that the capacity thing on the tool tip is meaningless.

Other people will probably make the same misconceptions without watching a video about it too. In the interest of the thread not devolving into a cycle of misconception>aggressive refutation and lamentation>misconception>aggressive refutation and lamentation maybe we should just correct them and move on to complaining about performance and showing screenshots of our first wins.

The same as painkillers but those take longer to use. If that also means that painkillers have a longer lasting effect, I don't know.

I take pills if I have time to spare and have a drink if I don't.

Also taking a double dose of painkillers/energy drink can be useful because that increases/changes the effects you get. Do it and watch the bars at the bottom and the icons there. When I watch people who are actually good at the game they tend to try to be doped to the max near the end of the game.

Yeah painkillers fill up the boost bar more.

If you can spare the stims then it's a good idea to stay topped up for the buffs and the heal, yeah.

Because the same question comes up and gets answered every 4 or 5 pages. It takes 5 - 10 minutes to figure it out for yourself instead giving others the chance to spread wrong information.

I feel like i'm taking crazy pills right now.

To build on this, the exact effects are:

1. Healing over time: This effect occurs for the entirety of boost duration. This is the only way to heal back to max health if you don't have a Medkit. First aid and bandages can only take you up to like 80% of your health.

2. Increased run speed: This effect occurs when you have consumed enough boosts to reach the second bar of boost meter. Effect is active while boost meter is still in the second section of the boost bar.

3. Reduced weapon spread: The final possible effect. Occurs when you've got the boost bar almost completely filled up. Also last a very short period of time, as indicated by the size of the 3rd section of the boost bar.

Having coats/pants give you a tiny bit more capacity (10/20, enough for a pistol mag or two) would actually make sense since, you know, pockets and all. Vests do as it is.
