I'm gonna buy like three elite skins, and it doesn't matter whether this game is somewhat broken or not broken at all.

Pls. make a Buck skin.

real edit: this game owns bones. Between the PC and the Xbone I've got four hundred hours logged, and I'm not close to sick of it.

They really should just make a bunch of house maps with different layouts. Use all the same art assets too, nobody would care.

This, and use the same name and map picture for the loading screen, so you don't actually know which house you're playing in until you get to the prep phase.

I can hear voice just fine. Lowering the voice in the mixer won't help because the game sound is at its limit while I'm using headphones. They're LifeChat 3000s (something like that) and quite nice otherwise. Just wish they had a separate volume button from Windows.

Maybe a DAC?

Does anyone know if Montagne get full coverage against C4 explosions from the front while deployed?

"Every body part that is fully covered by the shield will resist up to 80% of the explosion damage."

I'd wager that he'll be considered to be fully covered, given that if he looks as you with the shield deployed, there's not a single part of him you can hit with a gun.


edit: "FIXED – Players receive threat indicators when being shot by suppressed weapons." neat.

Yes, I'm aware of what it says, I'm asking if it's actually working as described, because this is Siege.

Oh man, of course it works. Don't be silly.

However, by implementing this change, the view angle for all operators is now the feet.

Speaking of which, anyone have any tips on how to fix their audio so that both the game sounds and voice go through a headset? Somehow all of a sudden (after installing the latest radeon drivers), voices play over my monitor speakers and the rest of the game runs through the headset.

Go to audio control panel (speakers/playback devices when you right-click speaker down-right), and make sure that your headset there is both the default audio and the default communications device. If that's already the case, or setting it so fails to help, just disable the monitor and re-enable back when/if you need it.

The communication device was reassigned. That did it. Thanks!

Doesn't seem to be working in Siege for me, I wondered if BE was blocking the hotkeys/overlay, but I've seen that others have been able to get it working, did you have to do anything special to get it to play nice with Siege(or rather, for Siege to play nice with it)?

Sure did. Step one was swearing at it for 30 minutes as I couldn't figure out why it was just saving 4kb files to the destination folder. Step two was completely uninstalling all my Radeon software and drivers. Step three was a fresh install, and then it all worked great.

When you say a fresh install I assume you're talking about running something like DDU and reinstalling drivers? Or do you mean the game?

Already did the former to no avail, poo poo works great in other games though.

I meant the former. If you've tried that, then I'm plum out of ideas. It looks like a bunch of people are having difficulty with it, so I'm sure there will be some fixes real soon.

You might have to be in silent step mode.

Also Chanka's turret kills does not count as gadget kills. I tried :saddowns:

The dumb thing is that on average, people are going to get 1 knife kill a round at most vs. a higher number of kills if they just use their gadgets in normal play

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.


Thanks, I don't remember seeing this before. "Dumb way" is putting it lightly; this screen is making the business analyst part of my head explode :psyboom:. "If the user wants to play X mode on Y map, then they should go to a settings screen and uncheck everything that isn't X and Y." Just let the player select a map and mode from a list on the lobby screen like every game ever made, you dolts. I hope you can at least access this screen without quitting to the main menu and disbanding the lobby?


I get that for the competitive mode, but I appreciate when games give you leeway for the private PvE modes. It won't take away from anybody's enjoyment of the online game if some people on a LAN are respawning in a game with zero MMR consequence for anybody. Arma is a good example of a game that caters to both ultra competitive players, and players who just want to gently caress around on private PvE servers with respawns.


Anyway, if the game doesn't allow it, then it doesn't allow it. I won't belabor the point. Thanks for humoring me.

The question is really why you'd want to play the PVE mode at all. If you want to play this with a partner, play the competitive side of things with her.

Huh. I was doing a solo terrorist hunt on skyscraper as Twitch, and had one baddie left. I was driving my drone around shooting at some emplaced c4 in the next room, when the last bad guy ran straight past my operative without firing a shot and started staring at my drone. I switched back to first person view and shot the dude in the back.

I got to play one whole game of Siege before it freaked out and my friend I was squadding with could no longer see me. Then I try to restart siege and uplay is like nah gently caress you. So I restart uplay and it sticks at Initiliaizing, so I try killing the processes and that doesn't help. I reboot and now uPlay is just having a stroke.

My friend gets really weird rubber banding and visual lag while playing siege. Initially I wrote it off as lovely network on his end or video settings. But one day I was spectating him after dying and I could see the effects too.

When I'd swap to him, it would be choppy and laggy, but when I swapped back to any other teammate it was fine.

Any idea what could cause this sort of performance?
