Why is this not a game to play with a girlfriend? Am I only supposed to play the included PvE mode with other guys? Pretend I said "brother" instead of "girlfriend" and let me know if you'd still suggest puzzle platformer Trine as an alternative to a game about shooting people in the face through a wall.

I think the problem is more that Terrorist Hunt in Siege is really, really barebones and not that difficult (in a compelling way, anyways) once you know what to do. On realistic the cause of your death is going to be bombers; on normal it's also going to be bombers.

I don't think I've ever had it take more than about 15-20 second to load. When I used to have it on my SSD, loading was instant, but I'm not dedicating space to this game on that drive, at least until I build a new rig with a bigger SSD. I'm also running a machine that is like 7 or 8 years old, with an old first gen i7, 12 GB of RAM and a 770ti.

Dell had a WD 250gb SSD for like $20. Wasn't the greatest but for Siege it's pretty good.

The only times Siege goons get pissed is if you're being outright an rear end in a top hat; eg screaming at the top of your lungs and/or saying 'penis penis PENIS PENIS PENISSSSSSSS' for 2 minutes straight during a match are basically the Discord's entire banlist.

It was some dll hack that would give you all season pass content in the game without paying for it.

Wow, that is the most Ubisoft thing ever. How is that even a thing with no sanity checking. You would think "Did you give us money?" would be a fairly important check.

Oh well, gently caress 'em. If you're using a .dll hack to steal DLC (regardless of my feelings on having to buy DLC), you definitely deserve to be banned. If you were doing that, you probably would be willing to use other ways to cheat.

Payday 2 similarly had a 'DLC unlocker' (primarily because it has like 900 things of DLC) and the anticheat would kick you out of any game you were in unless you hosted.

(the R6 dll hack dates all the way back to April :stare: so it survived Battleye deployment)

Yeah, but wasn't that because almost all of Payday 2 is client side and the games were all peer hosted? Ubi makes you connect not just to uplay but to their servers to actually play. The fact that you can enable DLC for an online only multiplayer shooter by modifying a client-side DLL is pants-shittingly retarded.

Reminder, we're using Uplay, the storefront that had hacks to download every game in the store into your account 3/4 years ago.

The report to battleye option does that. I know its counter-intuitive AF but thats whats available for now. :/
When it comes to voice chat however it's harder to keep track of them but you can mute them i guess.

Wouldn't it just be easier to have another button that says 'code of conduct' report so they can look at the name/the chat rather than dicking around with hacking first?

Really? I never had any issues playing as Classic Pulse, but I dunno, I just feel like the more limited range hurts me more when I play as him now. Probably just me though - I don't really play him often nowadays anyway.

The range is basically the same as old Pulse, while you could technically see out to 10 meters with the original Pulse gadget, it was literally impossible to do so outside of controlled circumstances. The beeps were too faint.

I've tried getting with a group in the Discord but no one ever seems to be on when I am. UK timezone differences?

The timeline most people play on is EST and we usually start around 8/9PM, which translates to like 2/3 am UK time currently iirc. On some days we might start early ( weekends mainly) and we often run until 2/3 am at times so you might catch us at the tail end of sieging when you wake up.

Your best bet is to sit in pcgaming on synirc and see when the siege call goes out.
