It's a "we don't want to unnecessarily confuse players into thinking it's a prone guy waiting around that you should shoot" design decision, which is a good one.

It's also to do with the server not having to store all players's cosmetic data indefinitely after they have already disconnected, right? I figured it was also a small measure to make the servers chug a little less.

They said before that it was both "crate & very rare." Can't confirm or deny that myself, though.

Man, the VSS seems really useful and I generally love it in games, but the damage output seems reeeeaall bad.

I have no idea what the underlying structure of the patch is, just that it's the patch.

I thought you meant "what? a patch?" more than "I know what's in the patch, but the size doesn't make sense"

iirc when you patch a file on steam it downloads the whole file, so even a small edit to a 2 gig file would mean you need to redownload the whole 2 gigs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It could be worse. It could be like Gears of War 4 patching. It copies the entire install directory into a different folder then pastes that over the downloaded patch files and deletes the previous install.

Depends on the engine, since not everything is always stored in giant files, but Unreal is especially bad about that kind of thing.

Pretty sure Total War: Warhammer does this too. I noticed because I had it on my SSD and it kept telling me it was short on memory because updating the game doubles the file size for the duration.

I think I'm good on this game for a while. Tried out the new patch and the lag on reloading and just firing my goddamn gun was loving awful. Look at this crap: https://streamable.com/r0sgp

Multiple seconds go by between the reload animation finishing and the HUD updating that I can actually shoot and then a few times I pull the trigger and nothing happens. AND I guess the S686 is a two hit kill now. Ugh.

No?

The first game has a tremendous amount of content with only the 4 base races, the amount of content in Warhammer II easily justifies a full price purchase. What's that? No, no my 1000 hours in the game hasn't made me bias!

RE: updates to shotgun damage:

I thought this shotgun hit landed on their face, but it still took a second one to actually kill them.

Yeah I'm noticing an almost solid 50% FPS increase nearly across the board (with a single 10 FPS hiccup during skydiving that's NBD), but some really weird latency issues with item/objects/players that are within a foot or two of me. FPS doesn't drop at all during these times, but it's made close combat and using objects significantly more difficult and inconsistent.

But I also suck at the game so someone with 100 hours might feel differently (I'm at 8).

edit: and yes, it's sometimes making me have to mash the reload button twice, going through the animation twice before the ammo counter changes

making the 686 a two hit kill is pretty hosed up did they reduce the recoil at all to compensate for that?

No, but rifles killing with one round to a level two vest has been happening constantly the past few patches. At least that's how it seems on the end of diee, one round, dead, no recourse.
