I've grown to like Border. Speaking of, is the bookcase overlooking the Hostage/Secure room next to lockers considered an exploit? The one you have to use the computer monitor to get onto.

What are the type of places castle's super boards good for? Can they still melee them?

They can be melee'd down after 12? 16? melee hits. Don't lock your team in the objective room with the barricades. The ideal use is as a way to funnel the attackers where you want them to go, or make them waste their resources on one. I don't play Castle so I don't know how to actually accomplish this.

Of the 20 or so matches we've had since early yesterday, only 1-2 have been against groups that all have ranks. Most of the games have had at least 3 unranked people. Is matchmaking busted or are we on some kind of streak?

Hey Hard can you add an option to report someone for spamming chat with racist poo poo? The only option is to report them for hacking.

They check chat and other such behavior with that report button. Could use a name change I suppose.

When I play solo with my speakers, I hear sounds much better and louder than my headphones when actually playing in a group for voice chat. Is there some way I'm missing to increase the volume in Windows 10 more than 100? The game sound isn't nearly as loud (or good but these are nice speakers).

Cup Runneth Over posted:

You can lower the volume of your voice chat program through your OS's mixer, or vice versa for the game.

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.

If this is something desirable maybe they shouldn't all be using the same smartphone. It wouldn't make sense for them to have different sounds unless you make the guy yell out LETS HAVE A LOOK AT THIS DRONE THEN.

Also is "placing claymore B)" voice line team only? If not that is a bit awkward.

You can't hear their voice but you can certainly hear the claymore being placed.

I solved my sound problem by installing Equalizer APO and finding settings that made my sound better and louder.

Then I went too loud and blew some of my headset, I get crackles on real bassy stuff now. But I can hear footsteps and other things much more clearly! Any recommendations for $50-75 headsets that won't blow out easily and also have a mic?

EDIT: My current set is the Microsft LifeChat LX-3000.

I do have fairly nice speakers but I worry they would be muted with headphones/earbuds in for voice, and it would also restrict my playtime at night and when other people are home.

I moved my USB headset plug from the top of my case to the back and WHOOSH, all the crackling and static went away. I'm back to louder sound, its great.

New operator should be able to pick up drones and install a chip that lets them take control of that drone. Two uses maybe, and the drone tells the user it's been hacked so they have to decide if they want to destroy it or not. Only one person can drive it at a time and the other person can only watch through the camera, not steal control until the user gets off it.

Hire me, Hard.

I'm having frequent crashes and I'm pretty sure its related to nVidia Share. My screen goes blank (usually some random color entirely) then the game crashes. Not long after that, Share crashes. I don't understand.

I have to handbrake all my video to 60fps because of how shadowplay/plays.tv and I assume RELIVE capture video.

Annoying, but at least the audio doesn't get hosed up.

Yeah. I use Eyeframe Converter to batch convert things. Sometimes they play fine in Lightworks and sometimes I saved a clip that isn't worth using. Everything else gets converted and works fine.

Admiral Joeslop
Jul 8, 2010




IceOrb posted:

It's not an issue.

Shadowplay, plays.tv, and ReLIVE all record with a variable framerate so that in the event your performance is tanking the GPU can focus on making the game run as best it can instead of worrying about maintaining 60fps on your capture.

In most cases video editors can't handle variable framerate video without you running into the audio desync issue. Easy fix is to just handbrake everything to whatever framerate you plan on exporting the final clip in.

So when you say handbrake, what exactly are you referring to, some program?

Admiral Joeslop

Ah, neat. Looks similar to the thing I use that was recommended specifically for Lightworks.

Also, Hard, can we get a UI option to turn off mouse wheel weapon switching? I keep putting my Blitz shield away instead of flashing when I get excited.
